Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hearing Li Min's words, not only the shipwrights, but also Yan Bei and Zhao Fu curiously looked into the box. When they saw the contents clearly, they were immediately surprised. What was in the box was actually  They are two extremely exquisite miniature sailboats.

    I saw that these two ships were only about a foot long, but the workmanship was extremely fine. The masts, sails, ropes, etc. on them were all complete. They looked like real big ships. Moreover, the shapes of these two ships were very strange.  Among them, Yanbei is the only one. He has never seen many ships in his life. However, Zhao Fu has been an official in Dengzhou for many years and has seen countless ships, but he has never seen such a strange sailing ship.

    Except for Gu and Xu, the two shipwrights who came in charge, after seeing the two ships, their eyes widened. They looked up and down carefully several times, then frowned and thought hard about something.  , even the two stewards Gu and Xu are no exception. In fact, they are not only stewards of the shipyard, but also the most proficient in shipbuilding in the two shipyards.

    Following Li Min's signal, Wei Heizi stepped forward and took out the two ship models with both hands. After fixing them on the desk in front of Li Min, he turned to introduce to his colleagues behind him: "Everyone, please take a look, this is His Highness's new model.  A process invented. First, the ship we want to build is made into this kind of ship model. The structure inside is the same as the real ship. If there are any mistakes, you can modify it at any time. After the ship is finalized, then follow the proportions of the ship model.  Zoom in, and the boat produced this way will never make any big mistakes."

    "Wonderfulwonderful!" After listening to Wei Heizi's introduction, Chief Gu took the lead in applauding. He has been building ships all his life, but he has never thought of this idea. Although it seems to add one more process to shipbuilding, it has reduced the number of steps in the future.  Calculating the probability of error in this way, it actually saves a lot of time than before.

    "Well, a good idea is to make the ship into a ship model first in the future. Not only will it reduce the chance of making mistakes, but even an ordinary shipbuilder can build the ship according to the model. In this way, as long as the manpower is needed,  If it is enough, our shipyard can build more ships at the same time, instead of like now, each ship must be guided by a master shipbuilder." Director Xu is younger and his mind works faster.  A more important benefit immediately comes to mind.

    When the shipwrights around heard the words of the two chiefs, they immediately nodded their heads and discussed the advantages of this model ship one by one. Even though they were timid in front of Li Min just now.  But when it came to professional knowledge, these people immediately let go. They all talked and argued with red faces, and threw aside Li Min, Yan Bei and Zhao Fu, the three senior officials.

    Seeing the lively scene in front of him, Li Min smiled slightly and said hello to Yan Bei and Zhao Fu. The three of them quietly left the room. Wei Heizi would do the next thing. As for how to build those two kinds of ships?  Naturally, there are experts like them to take care of it.  Li Min, a layman, would not interfere.

    "Your Highness, what kind of ships are those two sailboats and why are they so weird in shape?" Zhao Fu asked impatiently as soon as he left the room. In fact, he was not interested in shipbuilding, but he knew a man who was devoted to shipbuilding.  The man who built the ship.  That person liked novel ship types the most, so he wanted to ask for that person.

    "Oh, one of those two kinds of sailing ships is called the Fu Chuan and the other is called the Galen ship. The Fu Chuan is a hard sailing ship. The Galen ship is a soft sailing ship. Each of these two ships has its own advantages.  , and each has its own shortcomings. I really can¡¯t explain it at the moment." Li Min explained with a smile that the Fu ship and the Galen ship are the two most classic ship types among sailing ships, and one of them is the pinnacle of China's local shipbuilding technology.  , while the other was the pinnacle of European shipbuilding.

    The reason why Li Min knows the structure of these two kinds of ships is thanks to the wood carving shop he opened in his previous life. In his shop, there are two ship models made according to the proportion of real ships, and they can be broken down into parts. Li Minxian  When he had nothing to do, he liked to take apart the two ships and assemble them bit by bit to kill time. After he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he immediately realized the importance of these two ship models, so he had already made people  They made it and asked Wei Heizi to eat both ship models thoroughly.

    Hearing Li Min¡¯s explanation, although Zhao Fu didn¡¯t quite understand it, he still kept it in mind.  Yan Bei was very interested in shipbuilding. He took Li Min and walked around the shipyard a few times. At the same time, he thought about how much it would cost to build one on the scale of the shipyard in front of him.

    After Li Min came back from walking around a few times, the discussion in the room finally came to an end. The reason why the discussion lasted so long was because Wei Heizi took apart the two ship models and introduced the two ship models to everyone.  Then let¡¯s discuss the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of these two new types of ships. What difficulties will there be if we want to build these two new types of ships?

    "Wei Gong, how was everyone's discussion?" Li Min and the other three returned to the room, sat down and asked Wei Heizi with a smile.

    "Your Highness, it is similar to what the villain guessed in Chang'an."Dengzhou¡¯s shipbuilding capabilities can completely build two ships!  "Wei Heizi replied with a face of joy. He had estimated in Chang'an that the shipbuilding capabilities of the Tang Dynasty would definitely be able to build these two new types of ships. However, because the shipbuilding capabilities of various places were high and low, he had not yet arrived in Dengzhou before he came to Dengzhou.  , and I am not sure whether Nengdengzhou Shipbuilding is capable of building it, so I have to discuss it with local craftsmen like Master Gu to be sure.

    "Hahaha~, good, you are indeed a skilled craftsman of the Tang Dynasty!" Li Min laughed happily when he heard the good news. The navigation technology of the Tang Dynasty was still in its infancy. For example, current navigation is only offshore sailing.  They dare not stay away from the coast at all. One of the big reasons for this is that sea-going ships cannot adapt to long-sea voyages. The Galen Ship Fu Ship that Li Min took out today is an extremely excellent ocean-going ship no matter what kind of ship it is. As long as it is promoted  , will definitely allow Datang to take a big step forward in its development of the ocean.

    Hearing Li Min¡¯s praise, not only Wei Heizi was happy, but the Dengzhou shipwrights like Master Gu were even more excited, and they all expressed that they would do their best to build both kinds of ships.  It was almost noon, and Li Min became more interested. He simply asked people to go to the city to buy some wine and food, and planned to invite the shipwrights to have a meal together. This made everyone even more flattered.

    Before the food and drinks were bought, the workers in the shipyard outside happened to be having dinner. Li Min was curious and walked over to take a look, only to find that the lunch of ordinary workers only had two black steamed buns. The soup did contain meat, but  It is also the cheapest sea fish in Dengzhou City. The cook chopped it up, added some salt and boiled it in a pot. The fish soup even smelled of the fishy smell unique to seafood.

    "Do the workers eat this every day?" Li Min pointed to the wooden barrel containing the fish soup and the steamed buns of the small mountain boat next to it, and asked Gu and Xu with some dissatisfaction.

    "Your Highness, this kind of food is already pretty good. The factory only serves the lunch meal, and usually drinks porridge. Because Your Highness is here today, we have improved the food for the workers. Those private shipyards around here  Here, the workers can't even afford porridge, and they only give them two steamed buns and a bowl of water at noon every day." Chief Gu boldly defended, although it was obvious that His Highness King Qi was dissatisfied, but what he said was also true. In this area  Among the shipyards, it is indeed their government-run shipyard that offers the best treatment.

    "Hmm~" After hearing what Boss Gu said, Li Min's face darkened. He looked at the long line of workers serving steamed buns and fish soup in front of him, and said nothing for a long time.

    He had seen with his own eyes the work of these workers today, carrying wood, moving heavy objects, and climbing up and down. Anyway, none of it was easy. Such high-intensity work, but they only had to eat two fist-sized steamed buns and one  A bowl of porridge, and drinking this fish soup with no taste is considered to improve the diet?  For an adult doing heavy work, it is impossible to eat enough.  Li Min even saw with his own eyes that some older workers only ate one steamed bun and stuffed the rest into their arms, probably wanting to take it home to their children and grandchildren. Thinking about it makes people feel sad.

    Looking at the dark and thin workers in front of him, Li Min suddenly realized that their complexions were actually stronger than those of the farmers and fishermen outside Dengzhou City he saw last time.  This discovery made Li Min's face even worse. This meant that farmers and fishermen outside the city usually had worse food than these workers.

    Thinking of this, Li Min suddenly woke up. Under the strong appearance of the Tang Dynasty, many ordinary people had not even solved the problem of eating.  In fact, it¡¯s not surprising that Li Min was so late-minded. He assumed the identity of a prince when he traveled through time. He usually interacted with high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Occasionally, he could see some poor people in Chang¡¯an, but he had never observed them up close, so he felt  It wasn't until today when he saw with his own eyes the food of these workers in the shipyard that he, a person who had never been hungry in his previous life or now, was shocked to realize that feudal society was not as beautiful as he thought.

    After seeing how these workers ate, and when they invited Chief Gu and the shipwrights to eat, and saw how they were devouring their food, I guess even if their status was higher than that of ordinary workers, their food on weekdays would definitely not be much better than that of workers.  Otherwise, he would not be so rude in front of him, the King of Qi.

    "It seems that I have to hurry up on my plan. If this plan is completed, it will not only solve the problem of food and clothing, but also make the people of Dengzhou richer and stronger in one fell swoop. The follow-up plans can be better completed." Li Min said to himself  He said softly, while looking at the civilian shipyard next to the military shipyard.

    At the same time, Wang Xijun had people set up a recruitment stall in Dengzhou City and began to recruit qualified workers. This was also ordered by Li Min, although it was also without beginning or end, and he did not tell himself what he was going to do.  What, but since that night in the study, Xijun has a blind trust in Li Min. As long as it is something he orders, she will do it regardless of the reason.  (To be continued)
