Shi Bufan suggested the establishment of this navigation academy, and let Liu Renliang serve as the president, and hung up the official title of a six-grade water department member Wailang, which means that Liu Renliang will be a six-grade official in the future. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is not out of date, and at the same time, it still set up the title of an officer, nominally to give those scribes who have been engaged for many years and have many years of experience to make history a step forward. However, this clerk is not responsible for the management of day-to-day affairs, but is equivalent to a senior clerk and project manager. However, this "project manager" will also have great influence, once a group of people from the bottom through this technical route to the central organization, their influence is definitely not only their own rank. Once they reach the center, the political resources they have at their disposal are getting bigger and bigger, and they will inevitably try to compete for all kinds of political resources. As for official positions, this is actually only one type of political resource.

In fact, the official position does not really mean anything to a large extent, the official position only represents the management system, but it does not represent your real influence. If the official position is absolutely useful, then no dynasty will have the power to vassal, and perhaps even perish. The official position is just a machine built into the human heart, and when people are willing to recognize it, then it is useful. But when people don't want to recognize him, the so-called state apparatus will fall apart. In the final analysis, it is necessary to master influence, and the real influence goes beyond official positions. Why is it that after some officials retire, their colleagues in the officialdom and ordinary people remember its benefits, even if there is something after his retirement, not only does no one shirk it, but they compete to do it for him. And some people, go directly to the tea cool, no one remembers him at all, and the day after he left, maybe someone set off fireworks to celebrate. This is also the influence of personal word-of-mouth, and the influence is beyond the official position and beyond the management system.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and these people value official positions more, and they are seriously negligent, in fact, the strength of political influence is certainly related to official positions, but official positions are not absolute influence. Therefore, most of the means established by the scholars to block the road to promotion are based on official positions, but they have very limited control over other influences. Shi Bufan also wants to break through the official position system to give the poor a channel to rise and exert his influence. Although they may not have an official position, they also have no less influence than an official position or even greater, so that they have the capital to fight for power and profit.

"Shi Yuan Wailang, you think I should get this nautical academy? You have promoted me to be the dean of this nautical academy, but I don't really understand what to do! What's more, what should I do, so that we don't have any experience in commanding a naval army at all, how can I be the dean of this nautical academy? Aren't you hurting me? What should I do then? I don't even understand sailing, how do you ask me to get this sailing academy? Shi Yuan Wailang, do you feel that my old Liu is too idle and adds trouble to me? Liu Renliang smiled bitterly.

Shi Bufan saw that Liu Renliang was actually complaining in front of him, and his heart was also tired. Originally, I thought that Liu Renliang should be a person familiar with navigation who could command the naval army to defeat the Japanese in history, but now it seems that this is not the case. At least at this point in time, Liu Renliang will not fight. But how Liu Renliang learned to command the naval army to fight in the original history, this is not clear at the time, and he is not interested in figuring it out anyway. But now that Liu Renliang has been arranged to become this navigation academy, it is natural to build this navigation academy well. However, Liu Renliang claimed that he didn't know how to fight and sail, so he wouldn't think it was a big deal.

"You can't sail, so what? You can learn! Live to learn all the time, can't you even take the initiative to learn by yourself? I'm telling you, study hard, you won't just learn, anyway, until you learn. Now it's you, you're going to go, you're going to go, you're not going to go, you're not going to learn from me. If you don't know, ask the old fishermen and all kinds of maritime merchants below, don't the Confucian saints also say that they are not ashamed to ask? What do you have to be ashamed of? It's not terrible to not understand, but the most terrible thing is not to pretend to understand, and to fool around even if you don't understand. Whoever is an immortal in this world, who can be omniscient and omnipotent, I can't either, and neither can the emperor. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you just need to do a good job in the construction of various teaching system arrangements, as well as the construction of various teaching promotion systems, who let you teach as a teacher in person? You just have to get those teachers right, arrange their status and treatment, and then everything will be fine. You remember, you are a school leader, you are in charge of the government, you don't try to interfere with any specific teaching, you just need to manage the teachers and students, solve all kinds of problems for them, so that they can teach and learn wholeheartedly, who let you personally take charge of teaching? Therefore, whether you understand or not is not the most important thing, the key is whether you can manage it well. ”

"If you don't understand, you're not afraid, as long as you do a good job, you take the initiative to help this navigation academy, as well as the sailors and all kinds of maritime merchants who will be formed in the future, and all kinds of personnel engaged in maritime affairs will try their best to ask the court for money, policies, and coordinate their respective relationships internally, and you don't have to worry about so many specific things. You just have to be their leader, then try your best to get money and policies for them, and then take the initiative to stand up for them when they encounter unfair treatment, and then everything will be fine. ”

Liu Renliang was speechless by Shi Bufan's words, and still asked hesitantly: "Is this okay?" ”

"Why not, there is a precedent for this! You remember, as the leader of the departmental system, you don't need to ask how much ability you can have, the key is that when you represent your own department to fight for power and profit, don't be soft, try to eat more for the department, and take the initiative to seek justice for the people in the department when something happens to them, so that you can basically do it. Then you can leave the specific professional matters to the professional people, that is, those affairs officers to solve, you just need to do the points I said. Shi Bufan said.

In fact, this method is really the most suitable for the current situation when the navigation system is first established. Whether this can allow Liu Renliang to conquer those people below is actually not a big problem. Because you don't understand this, but no one else necessarily understands it. The method introduced by Shi Bufan to Liu Renliang is to be a shopkeeper. Of course, this is not really a throw-off, but in terms of professional technology, but in the fight for the interests of their own system, for their own department to compete for the interests, and if someone in the department has an accident, they must lead the entire department to seek justice for them. That's the most important thing, and being able to do that, basically, isn't too much of a problem.

There are precedents for this experience, for example, Shi Bufan knows how Japan's modern navy developed. Saigo Tsuto, the first Minister of the Navy of Japan's modern navy, was actually from the army, and he didn't know anything about the navy. But he can almost be said to be the father of the navy, because he never interferes with what he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand but he will never pretend to understand, but he takes the initiative to leave it to those professional people to do. And when necessary, he fought for the interests of the navy, and fought for the budget and various resources for the navy, so that the navy did not accept anything else, that is, he was a naval minister from the army.

So since there is a precedent, it is better to let Liu Renliang do the same. Shi Bufan asked Liu Renliang to do this, in fact, he hoped to create a group of "interest groups" that obtained benefits through navigation, and interest groups could be created, as long as a group of people followed this navy and navigation to make profits, then after forming a group of interest groups, they would definitely be able to fight for power and profit in turn. And Liu Renliang will be their natural leader at that time, and he can become the father of the navy and the father of navigation.

"But, Shi Yuan Wailang, what should we do with this? I don't have any experience with this nautical academy! What do you want me to do, this is not an ordinary teaching scripture, I don't have any experience! How should this school system be made, how should we arrange this school system, we have no experience in this! You must know that in the past, our craftsmen were passed from father to son, and son to grandson. Or is it passed down from generation to generation, so how do we get it? Generations of masters and apprentices, where do we go to find so many masters? Even if we invite a lot of masters, we can't teach so many students! In addition, there is so much knowledge in navigation, not only to know how to read the direction of the wind, but also to know how to read hydrology, but also to know how to build ships, and even all kinds of things. Liu Renliang said.

Shi Bufan immediately complained: "You really make people speechless, who said that navigation has to learn all the subjects." Won't you let them specialize in one subject? Some people are responsible for shipbuilding, some are responsible for studying hydrology, and some are responsible for studying the weather. In short, it is possible to subdivide it as much as possible, especially to let them specialize in a precise study of a knowledge, and it is okay to learn it deeply. You can set up several colleges, each with the Naval War Academy, and the Maritime Business School. Among them, the School of Water War can set up a shipbuilding department, and the shipbuilding department can be subdivided again and subdivided into a power major. If it continues to be subdivided, the power major can continue to be divided into human power direction, wind direction, transmission direction and so on. The same is true for others, and the specific combat can also be divided into the racket system, the bow and crossbow system, and so on. In conclusion, naval warfare can be subdivided into different specialties. ”

"The same is true for maritime merchants, which can be divided into civilian ship manufacturing, which is similar to that of warships, but is manufactured for civilian characteristics. As for other maritime business schools, there can be others, such as dock services, signaling, and even pilotage, etc., which can become a major. You can ask those experts for advice on this, but I don't really know much about it. But in short, you try to provide what other businessmen need. Whatever people need, you will try to cultivate for them as much as possible. In other words, the life and death of the navy army is actually tied to the maritime merchants. The more wealth was gained through overseas transactions, or the more things plundered overseas, the higher the status of the navy, and the more important the imperial court attached to the navy. But if one day, the sea cannot bring enough benefits to the imperial court, then in an ugly phrase, the navy will be a bird with a bow and a rabbit with a dead dog. If you want the imperial court to pay attention to the water army, you must let the imperial court benefit from the water. And if you want the imperial court to get benefits, then you must let the maritime merchants develop, and you can get more through maritime transactions. In particular, I'll draw you a rough sketch later, which is the general structure of the land in our Lingnan and further south. Of course, maybe there must be something wrong with the proportions, and I can only draw a rough sketch so that you can have some people explore it then. There are a lot of copper ore and other resources on it, and if the imperial court can get a lot of resources from there at that time, it must be keen to open up. “

"In fact, the so-called benefits and non-benefits are just a thin line. Why did I conquer the grasslands in the Central Plains but retreated again and again, in fact, it is still unprofitable, not that I am finally weak. As long as the princes of the court see the interests of the sea, they will definitely be the first to support the navy, and when the time comes, you, the navy, oh no, will be called the father of the navy, but the status has suddenly improved. Tie yourself to the ocean, and you won't suffer. Especially next, I got the assembly line production method out, and now the workshops near Chang'an have begun to produce all kinds of materials in large quantities. In the future, the products will be greatly enriched, and then the price will fall abnormally, and I am afraid that the people will suffer at that time! Shi Bufan said.

But Liu Renliang immediately asked: "Why is the price dropping not necessarily a good thing?" It stands to reason that if the price drops, it should be the happiness of the people, which shows that it is a good thing, why is this so? Isn't it great that the price has dropped? ”

"Falling prices are a good thing, but deflation is not a good thing! In the event of severe deflation, the consequences are unimaginable. And deflation, perhaps there are some records in the past dynasties, this kind of record is called 'money panic', you should have heard of this. Under the shortage of money, there will inevitably be more problems, so we must go overseas as soon as possible to get back the copper mines, so that we can have more copper coins to meet the higher and higher productivity. Therefore, preparing early to deal with this deflation is the right way! Deflation, although it seems that prices are falling on the surface, is actually not a blessing for the people! Shi Bufan explained. (To be continued.) )
