Chapter 264 Navigation Academy

Www.U8xS.Com u[-] Novel Update Fastest Novel Reading Network Zhao Fu pointed out that the operation of the sextant is too complicated, which makes it not very practical as a sharp weapon for navigation, but after hearing this, Li Yin smiled and said: "Bie Zhao!" What you said is only half right. "Operating" a sextant does require knowledge of astronomy and arithmetic. Although there are not many people who understand these things now, not everyone does not understand them. For example, Xie Chun and the others, it is I am an expert in this field, and as far as I know, the knowledge of mathematics and astronomy required by a sextant does not actually require much. As long as one person is willing to learn, it will not take long at all. Its college teaches to everyone who needs this knowledge, and Xie Chun and the others are the teachers of the school."

"Set up a college?" Zhao Fu was taken aback when he heard this. In the past, only colleges or private schools were established to teach Confucianism, but when His Highness was in Chang'an last year, he set up a military academy and a medical school, and even helped the old god Yuan to run a Taoist school. The academy can be said to have created a precedent for a generation, and now there is another academy that teaches mathematics and astronomy. Could it be that His Highness is really addicted to running an academy?

And Wei Gong next to him was also a little confused. Although running an academy was a good thing, he was a craftsman and knew a little about arithmetic. As for astronomy, he knew almost nothing, so running an academy seemed to be none of his business, right?

"According to my idea, we need to set up a nautical college here in Dengzhou, and this college not only teaches people to use the nautical instrument such as the sextant, but also teaches various nautical knowledge, such as the maneuvering of ships. 』control, observation of sea conditions, drawing maps, etc. In addition, the Ship Design Institute will also be merged into the Nautical Academy to become an independent branch, and at the same time, it will also recruit students from outside, instead of only recruiting students from various shipbuilders as it is now. The factory will absorb people!" Li Min said ambitiously, when he first came to Dengzhou, he wanted to start a maritime academy, but unfortunately the time was not ripe at that time, and even ocean-going ships were not built.Not to mention anything else.

"Your Highness, those who run the boat are hard-working people, will anyone waste time learning these things?" Zhao Fu asked suspiciously.Although the current maritime trade is very prosperous, as he said, from the captain to the most ordinary crew members on a ship, almost all of them are from poor people, as long as they have some connections.Who would be willing to run the ship at the risk of dying without a place to die?And these poor people all rely on running boats to support their families. It is estimated that not many people are willing to spend time in the academy to study.Capital Datang 264

"Hehe, this is easy to handle. When I return to Chang'an this time, I will suggest to the emperor that the captain of the sea-going ship will be assessed. The aspects of the assessment are the subjects studied in the Navigation Academy. If they pass the assessment, not only You can run the usual offshore routes, and you can also run those newly developed routes. For example, the routes from Dengzhou to Waguo and Liuqiu, these routes can only be sailed by the captain who has passed the examination!" Li Yin has already done it. Well prepared for this, the answer was very quick.

"This..." Zhao Fu didn't agree with the matter of the Maritime Academy at first, so he thought about the issue of recruiting students, but he didn't expect that Li Yin would use this method to recruit students. It is estimated that the boss will force them to learn.Because with the prosperity of sea trade, the profits on offshore routes have been greatly reduced, and now any businessman with a little knowledge knows it.High sea trade is the trend of future development, and if you want to go to high seas, you must have a group of qualified captains in your hands.

"Since Your Highness has considered it so thoroughly, my subordinates have no objections!" Seeing that Li Yin's mind had been made up, Zhao Fu had no choice but to stop objecting, bowed and said.

Even he, Dengzhou Biejia, agreed, and Wei Heizi naturally didn't have any objections, but he couldn't help being a little nervous when he thought that he would have to teach like the masters in the private school.And Li Yin also knew that Wei Heizi's Ship Design Institute was a bunch of craftsmen and lacked in cultural knowledge, so he specifically told him to bring people to learn more from Xie Chun, after all, he was Li Chunfeng's student , except for shipbuilding, he is better than Wei Heizi in every aspect.

Although the college is named after sailing, in Li Yin's plan, it is actually divided into two parts. The first part mainly teaches various knowledge about sailing. However, due to the lack of manpower, the main thing is to teach the use of sextant Mainly, but if you want to learn the sextant, you must learn astronomy and arithmetic in advance, and Xie Chun is responsible for this aspect.

The other part is Wei Heizi's ship design. Although the Ship Design Institute was assigned to the Nautical Academy, it was actually independent, and even the location of the institute has not changed. The only difference is that the ship design has begun to recruit students from outside. Dengzhou is so developed. In the shipbuilding industry in China, ship design is definitely a sought-after profession, so there is no need to worry about the source of students.

Xie Chun and Wei Heizi are respectively the vice-presidents of the School of Navigation. As for the position of dean, Li Yin himself takes over the position. One, so the position of dean must be in his hands. This is like a military academy in Chang'an City. Although Li Jing and Li Xiaogong are in charge, the position of dean is held by Tang Emperor Li Shimin himself.

After the matter of the Maritime Academy is ordered, there will be no business for Li Min. First, he is not the material to manage these trivial matters. Second, he has already stayed in Dengzhou for several days, and it is time to leave for Chang'an After all, it will be mid-April soon, and if I don't go back, I won't be able to catch up with the birth of the child.

However, compared to when they came, returning to Chang'an was much more comfortable this time. At least they didn't need to take a carriage anymore. The Yellow River had already been civilized, so they could go back by boat, which saved a lot of suffering.It is also worth mentioning that Wu Meiniang still wants to stay in Dengzhou, but because of the Queen of Goguryeo, she was a little angry. In the end, Li Yin said something to her quietly, which made Wu Meiniang burst into laughter. While laughing, he scolded Li Yin for being wicked.

On the day Li Yin left Dengzhou, naturally many people came to see him off. Apart from Zhao Fu and Lu Hong, there were also many people from Dengzhou. When Li Yin boarded the boat, these people still refused to leave for a long time.Seeing this situation, Yang Yan, who was standing on the bow of the boat with Li Min, praised with a smile: "Liu Ying, it seems that you, the governor of Dengzhou, have done a really good job, and all these people love you from the bottom of their hearts. !"

Hearing Yang Yan's praise, before Li Yin could speak, Li Ke next to him said with a face of shame: "Uncle is right. Compared with Liu Ying, I am a poor governor of Suzhou. I even ruled the people. Don't you know how life is going?"

Li Yin wanted to be modest, but when he heard Li Ke's words, he quickly changed his words and said, "Third brother, don't underestimate yourself too much. Once the Shanghai city in Huating is completed, it will definitely drive the local economic development. At that time, Suzhou will definitely It has become extremely prosperous, and may even surpass the current Dengzhou, after all, Dengzhou's geographical location really cannot be compared with that of Shanghai."

When Li Yin mentioned Shanghai over Huating, Li Ke was also shocked.When they came back, they went to Yangzhou, and by the way, they also went to Huating to have a look, and found that the port of Shanghai City was already under construction, and tens of thousands of people lived and boarded on the construction site in order to earn a wage to support their families.Moreover, the materials from Dengzhou have also been delivered, and the construction of the port is going smoothly. In addition, the shipyard that Li Min plans to build is also under preparation. Presumably, once the port and shipyard are completed, they will immediately attract a large number of businesses. It depends on how the officials in charge of Shanghai govern and develop.

"Sixth brother, I have decided that after returning to Chang'an this time, I will stay in Shanghai with my family and personally manage the development of Shanghai. If I don't build Shanghai into a prosperous place, I will not return to Chang'an! " Li Ke probably was stimulated by Li Yin, and he was full of confidence in the construction of Shanghai City, so he made such an oath.

"Okay! As expected, the blood of our Yang family is flowing on his body. A good man has ambitions all over the world, but he only knows what to do in Chang'an City?" Li Ke just finished speaking, and Yang Hao immediately praised him loudly.He has stayed in Taiwan for decades, and his vision has long been broadened. Otherwise, he would not have agreed so much when he knew that Li Yin chose to open up.

Although Li Ke has said similar things before, he has never been as determined as he is today.Therefore, after Li Yin heard it, he also applauded loudly like Yang Yan. Chang'an is definitely a place of right and wrong, especially for princes like them. It is not a good idea to stay in Chang'an. He just stared at the throne like before, which made him, the younger brother, feel at ease.

While the three of Li Yin were standing at the bow of the boat talking, suddenly a small figure in green clothes rushed out of the cabin behind him, and shouted to Li Yin while running: "Cousin! Cousin! Your little baby is peeing again!" ’ Pants!”

As soon as Li Yin heard Cai'er's words, he immediately patted his head with a headache and said, "Cai'er, how many times have I told you that it's not my cousin's baby!"

"Really?" Cai'er tilted her head to look at Li Yin, and said with a look of disbelief, "Cousin, you are lying, if it wasn't your baby, then why did you bring her with you?" Capital Datang 264

Hearing Cai'er's question, Yang Hao and Li Ke next to him also immediately regained their spirits, staring at Li Yin with gossipy faces. They were also extremely curious about the baby girl on the boat. He thought it was the child of Li Yin and a certain woman, but Li Yin categorically denied it, and he refused to tell the real parents of the child. Yang Yan and Yang Yan tried several times, but they didn't get any results. Now look at Li Yin. How to answer Cai'er?

Li Min looked at the three people who were waiting for his answer, not to mention how wronged he was. He brought a baby girl back to Chang'an. He is the child of his father Li Shimin and the former Queen of Silla, and they don't believe it for other reasons. It seems that he can only bear the blame temporarily.
