On the sea, the waves were rolling, and Chang Lin continued to move forward with his fleet.
At the stern of the ship, Master Xuanfeng looked at the gradually receding sea of fog, feeling quite emotional. This beautiful ocean had a terrifying name—the Skeleton Sea! The sea of fog at dusk was particularly beautiful.
The Fog Sea is the name given by the sea people; the Skeleton Sea is the name given by the human people.
"The sea does have a beauty and vastness that the land does not have!" Master Xuanfeng began to sigh randomly.
Chang Lin turned his head slightly and wanted to cover his ears. Who can tell me that this guy is actually the head of the Yunxiao Sect? He sighs at the sea every day!
"Chang Lin, how about our Yunxiao Sect cooperating with your Shang Kingdom? Let's build a shipyard? In Haozhou, you can choose any location."
"Oh, the planes are pretty good too. Let's cooperate and build an aircraft factory."
"Now that we have warships and airplanes, we should also have factories to produce related products such as artillery shells..."
"Also, how about you help us train a group of talents?"
Chang Lin sighed fiercely, "Senior Xuanfeng, I am just a general. It is useless for you to tell me all this!"
"How could that be? Didn't you say that you are the commander-in-chief of the navy? The navy is headed by you. That wise king will always listen to what you say!" Master Xuanfeng was not joking, he was serious.
If it were in other countries, the king would generally consider the opinions put forward by a commander.
However, this is the Shang Kingdom! As early as the beginning of the army construction, Li Xian completed the separation of military, politics, and finance!
Therefore, Chang Lin was in a dilemma. "Senior, if I really make such a suggestion, I will be taken away for investigation immediately. And you will never have the chance to meet the wise king. In the Shang Kingdom, the military, politics, wealth, people's livelihood, education, industry and commerce, justice, diplomacy, etc. are completely separate and cannot interfere with each other. If you want to introduce general technology, you must negotiate with the industrial and commercial departments. If it is education, you must negotiate with the Ministry of Education. If it is justice, you must negotiate with the Ministry of Justice. If it is core technology, large-scale investment, large-scale arms purchases, the training of core talents, etc., you can only negotiate with the wise king in person."
After listening to this, Xuan Feng thought for a while and became interested: "I am suddenly interested in the wise king you mentioned. He was able to establish such a national system. In your Shang Kingdom, does the wise king completely control the power of the country in his own hands, and his words are law?"
"No, on the contrary!" Chang Lin said proudly, "Every department head has considerable power. For example, I have the right to declare war on a country without the permission of the wise king, as long as I think it is necessary."
"Oh?" Master Xuanfeng was really curious, "What if a department head with bad intentions appears?"
Chang Lin's face was a little solemn. "What the senior said is of course impossible to completely avoid. But we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. At least for the time being, this system has brought countless talents to the Shang Kingdom. Some people would rather be a fifth-rank official in the Shang Kingdom than be a second-rank or even a first-rank official in other countries."
"Oh..." Master Xuanfeng didn't say anything, he seemed to be doubtful and curious. Perhaps, everything would be revealed only after the Shang Dynasty.
