"I decided to set up a nautical academy to train seafaring talents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info appointed Liu Renliang, the former Cheng of Xianyang County, as a member of the Ministry of Water, as the president of the Navigation College. Li Shimin said.

On this issue, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did not object, because they knew that this was Li Shimin's desire to prepare for the fight against Goguryeo. It is impossible for Fang Xuanling to object, because when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, the Shandong area was "swept away as soldiers", and basically a large number of people in Shandong were enriched with troops, and then even many of them died on the battlefield. Even, there are quite a few of these people, many of whom served as middle-level civil and military officials, and many of them died in Goguryeo. It can be said that the entire area east of the Taihang Mountains, from the scholars to the ordinary people, has a lot of hatred for Goguryeo, and Goguryeo is almost a public enemy of Shandong. In order to prepare for the fight against Goguryeo, Fang Xuanling not only would not stop it, but would take the initiative to agree. If Fang Xuanling stopped the fight against Goguryeo, how would he face those fathers and villagers in Shandong in the future?

As for Du Ruhui, the establishment of the Navigation Academy Du Ruhui is also an attitude -- it's my business. This matter has little to do with Du Ruhui, the Navigation Academy is mainly preparing for navigation, as for those scholars in the Guanzhong region, they have little to do with them, although the interests are not great, but there is no need to oppose it. If you oppose the formation, it will be harmful to others and not good for yourself, so why bother?

In this way, the nautical academy can easily start to be formed without harming the interests of the various families. However, the institute of this navigation academy is Liu Renliang, which is recommended by Shi Bufan. Shi Bufan knew that Liu Renliang was the only person in Datang who could be good at naval warfare that Shi Bufan knew at present, and Liu Renliang was the first "anti-Japanese general" in China in history, and he defeated more than 40,000 Japanese sailors through more than 10,000 sailors, so he was really powerful. Liu Renliang defeated the strong in this naval battle, and there may be many reasons. Of course, Shi Bufan still thinks that it is people who use weapons, although Datang shipbuilding technology is more advanced, and weapons are more advanced, but it is impossible to exert itself without excellent command ability. This Liu Renliang does have a great advantage in the water army, and Shi Bufan's recommendation of him to serve as that is also a choice, let him teach the water army.

However, Shi Bufan still chose to let Liu Renliang hang up the identity of a foreigner of the Ministry of Water, so that he could be regarded as a "real official" and would not have an embarrassing status.

"Your Majesty, where do we go to find the doctors and professors of this nautical college? We don't seem to have these people in Datang at the moment? Fang Xuanling took the initiative to ask.

Shi Bufan took the initiative to say to Fang Xuanling: "Fang Servant, I have already suggested that the emperor will adopt the position of affairs officer. In the future, some of my Datang will be particularly partial, which are highly professional subjects, and can be appointed by the system of administrative officers. Clerks, on the other hand, are those who carry out government decrees and are responsible for carrying out various tasks that are difficult and require a lot of expertise. For example, the instructors of the Navigation Academy, as well as the construction organization of various civil engineering projects of the Ministry of Engineering, etc., our imperial court can set up an administrative officer. The clerk is a long-term and stable officer, and does not participate in the day-to-day transfer of the court. Moreover, most of the promotions of the affairs officer are only the promotion level treatment, and the specific position is only arranged by the specific situation, and it is generally created temporarily when it is responsible for the execution of various important affairs. ”

"In the future, our Datang will be divided into administrative officers and administrative officers, the administrative officer is responsible for comprehensive management, and the administrative officer is responsible for specific implementation."

Shi Bufan then took the initiative to introduce the difference between this administrative officer and the administrative officer, but Shi Bufan's administrative officer is not the same thing as the so-called "administrative officer" in the West in later generations. This officer is more akin to the government's official "project manager", responsible for organizing the leadership of a particular "project", and once the project is over, the team will be disbanded and responsibilities will be reassigned. And this kind of officer position is determined according to needs, on weekdays there will only be the corresponding level and treatment, and there will not be too many specific long-term positions, what needs to be done is to temporarily form a "project team" according to the need, and then according to the difficulty of these affairs officers to lead. Most of these officers are professionals and perform general professional tasks.

But at that time, when the words came out, they immediately caused the entire imperial court to fry. Because this affairs officer system is simply helping those people at the bottom of the society to join the imperial court, although this is a affairs officer, but it is also an "official"! In the Tang Dynasty, whether officials entered the stream or not, it was an important watershed. Once you enter the stream, you are an official, and in the past, although some scribes were allowed to enter through the examination of "flowing outside and entering the stream", this admission rate was very low. Moreover, at present, Datang does not have any kind of affairs officer, all of them are comprehensively managed, and they are all positions that want to participate in daily official transfers.

Although the Tang Dynasty was divided into government affairs departments and affairs departments, it was not forbidden to transfer each other in terms of specific personnel transfers, on the contrary, they were very frequent. In ancient times, there were no professional and technical civil servants, and they were all in the general management category. Shi Bufan has set up a separate affairs officer similar to a "professional and technical civil servant", which means that those who have mastered a skill in the future can enter the officialdom and be on an equal footing with them?

In this era, those professional and technical personnel are very much looked down upon, but once these people are also joined in this group, it will be a very huge blow to those who have studied for many years to obtain official positions. It's like what they were most proud of, but now they are facing being surpassed by people who they originally looked down upon, can they not worry?

In fact, many people are like this, very disgusted with those who come from behind. The reason why these ancient literati opposed those who mastered professional skills to enter the officialdom was actually a peculiar "sense of superiority". They don't think they have to do manual labor, they don't have to learn that kind of skill, and they don't have to work hard to make a living. Moreover, they thought that they had attained a natural superiority through reading, and those ancient literati had a peculiar "sense of superiority", which was why they looked down on the working people. But now that these working people have the opportunity to become officials, of course they will not do it. If working people have the opportunity to become officials, their sense of superiority will be threatened.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate, the official position is a famous instrument of the court, how can it be granted to others at will?" Fang Xuanling said.

However, Shi Bufan also asked: "I'm only granting loose officials, it seems that the imperial court doesn't stipulate the posts of loose officials, right?" ”

Shi Bufan deliberately confused the concept of loose officials and this kind of affairs official, in addition to official officials in the Tang Dynasty, there were also loose officials, honored officials, and so on. Loose officials and honorable officers are just a kind of people who represent their rank, and this kind of civil and military officials have them, in fact, they represent your rank and status. Not to mention that there were no military ranks in ancient China, this is complete nonsense. It's just that the name of the military rank is not the kind of general lieutenant in later generations, but the name of the ancient times. Generally, most of the time the scattered officials and the official are parallel, Shi Bufan is currently the sixth rank of the outside of the Lang, and in addition to the official of the outside of the staff, he also has a loose official named Feng Yilang, but this position is rarely mentioned, but it represents his rank.

Of course, there are times when the rank of a loose official and a senior official is not absolutely equal, and sometimes the rank of the casual official is raised first, and then the arrangement will be made as appropriate after there is a vacancy in the official position. Some are not suitable for promotion to actual positions for various reasons, so they first promote loose officials to increase their salary. There are also some to express the importance of this position, for example, a certain position is very important, but for some reasons it is not suitable to directly promote the legal grade of that position, and deliberately "high-allocation" within the operational framework. Because it may be difficult to reduce the legal grade after upgrading, it is necessary to use high-allocation means to avoid legal risks.

Therefore, in ancient times, the loose official was also an official title, and the status was equivalent to the so-called "department level" and so on in later generations, which only represented the rank, but only enjoyed the corresponding treatment, and the actual power was still related to his actual official position.

"This ......"

Rao is Fang Xuanling is smart, and he was also confused. After all, he is an ancient man, and with his experience and insight, he cannot judge the difference between this affairs official and a loose official.

Shi Bufan continued to secretly change the concept and said: "Fang servant, I want to give better treatment to those officials who have served in the imperial court for many years and have accumulated a lot of experience, but they don't arrange long-term actual positions, so isn't this okay?" They have worked for the court for so many years, accumulated so much experience, and their ability to do things is much more skilled than those new newcomers, but they are treated the same as those who are unfamiliar, is this fair? Therefore, it is not appropriate to give some excellent treatment to those who are capable and have many years of seniority, and to award low-level loose officials? ”

"And the low-level loose officials were awarded, and they became affairs officers, and their specific positions were still arranged according to the plot. They can be responsible for becoming the project leader of an important task of the imperial court, and be responsible for leading the team to carry out a certain task. According to the difficulty and level of the task, you can let loose officials of different levels lead the team to carry it out. With the position of a loose official, the authority is greatly increased, and things are done faster. ”

"Moreover, clarifying the distinction between an administrative officer and an administrative officer will not only not lead to a bloated organization, but also a lack of corpses. After distinguishing between the two, the posts of comprehensive management will continue to be strictly selected, and they must be strictly selected through the imperial examination, the door shade, and the means of flowing outside and entering the stream. On the contrary, those specific officials can let the various scribes under the imperial court choose whether to take this road by themselves, if they are willing to work hard, they can choose to go outside the stream or the imperial examination, and if they choose to live a stable life, they can work hard to exercise their ability to do things, and improve their seniority and experience, so that they can effectively clarify their responsibilities after obtaining the disbanding of officials. ”

"In this way, we can avoid the disadvantages of setting up officials according to the situation, and can effectively reduce the bloated and excessive number of officials."

Fang Xuanling felt that there was some truth in Shi Bufan's words, because many times there was a situation in the imperial court, that is, "setting up officials for things", and a post department was set up because of certain things, but it was difficult to abolish it later, because the people in that department had become an interest group, so they would desperately prevent and oppose the abolition.

However, if this casual official is set up, similar to the project manager, everything will be temporarily formed into a "project team", and there is no need to transfer officials from other general management positions to take charge, so that the matter will be abolished after the completion of the matter, and the risks in the legal system will be avoided. If an integrated management officer is put in charge, it is easy for a new department to be formed after a long time. In the ancient era when the legal system was not perfect, such a problem was even more prominent, and once a department was established, it was difficult to abolish it.

After having this kind of affairs officer, the project team will be formed when necessary, and if the project is completed, it will be disbanded immediately and continue to arrange other projects, which is conducive to the use of manpower and avoids a lot of embarrassment from the law. So thinking of this, Fang Xuanling didn't object to it.

"Your Majesty, since this is the case, since the establishment of a loose official, such a loose official can only obtain the corresponding grade of Yulu, but not other positions?" Fang Xuanling said.

And Du Ruhui hurriedly added, saying: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this kind of official grade is not suitable for more than seven grades, and with seven grades as the wiring, the affairs officer generally cannot exceed seven grades, how about it?" ”

"Your Majesty, what the two servants said is indeed reasonable, I seconded it!" Shi Bufan said.

"Lao Fang Lao Du, you really made a mistake again this time. I have deliberately confused the distinction between a casual officer and an administrative officer, and I have confused the distinction between an integrated management position and an administrative position. After all, you are ancients, and although you are wise, you don't know the difference. I did this to give those who have a skill a chance to officially enter the officialdom. When the time comes, once a large number of affairs officials enter the officialdom and embezzle all kinds of grass-roots 'executive power', then you high-level people will also be unable to get down. Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan was actually deliberately confused, deliberately using the so-called loose officials to talk about things, so as to tell the ministers of the imperial court, so that they mistakenly thought that this affairs official was actually just giving some treatment and had no specific real power. However, on the surface, it seems that there is no real power, but it does not mean that there is no influence. Not having real power and not having influence are two different things. Maybe a famous scholar, he has no official position, but his academic level has been valued by many officials, and his words are enough to change the trend of national policy.

This influence is much greater than the influence of official positions. Perhaps the influence of ordinary officials comes from their official positions, and once they lose their official positions, they are of no use. However, once this kind of professional and technical personnel participate in high-level departments, their influence is definitely more than that of Zhong Cen officials in those departments.

This time, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui made a mistake again. (To be continued.) )
