Chapter 213: Fang Gongzi

The corners of Guo Wenying's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she always faintly felt that there was something in it, Dong Dafang, who had escaped for more than a month, suddenly came back, and then confessed to Fang Fu, how can there be such a coincidental thing in the world?

However, Dong Dafang's words made her feel a little comforted, as long as it wasn't Fang Yuntang, it didn't matter which surname Fang it was.

She said, "Go to Fangfu and bring someone over to meet you." ”

Jiang Mao received the order, personally took people to Fangfu, and brought Fang Yide to Ningde Mansion.

Guo Wenying looked at Fang Yide carefully, he was in his twenties, dressed in white, and looked handsome, which was very much in line with what Dong Cun said about the owner who partnered with the Dong family. It's just that she vaguely feels that something is wrong, she wants to find someone, and he bumps it out by himself, is it really just a coincidence?

Dong Dafang looked sincere and said to Guo Wenying: "My lord, this is the owner of our shipyard. ”

Fang Yide clenched his fists slightly, "Villain Fang Yide, I've seen an adult." ”

Guo Wenying smiled, "Fang Gongzi, right, I heard that Fang Gongzi was originally in the salt farm business, and he also sold grain, but somehow he thought of building a boat yard?"

Fang Yide smiled and bowed and said: "Businessmen are naturally driven by profits, why do you need to ask this? Fang is a businessman. ”

This party is polite and polite, and his speech and demeanor are quite polite, and he doesn't look like a lawbreaker, and what he said is so tight that he can't find fault for a while, even the sales after shipbuilding are also very reasonable, at least for now, I don't see anything wrong with him.

Guo Wenying thought about it, this season makes the operation of the shipyard the most important, even if there are doubts, he can only give up the in-depth investigation for the time being. She said: "The shipyard government is in urgent need now, and I want to requisition it from Gongzi, I don't know what conditions Gongzi has?"

Fang De was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare, the government will take all the requisition, and the villain doesn't dare to object." ”

Guo Wenying said: "We won't ask you for nothing, that's good, in the future, the wood and some trivial things needed for the shipyard will be provided by the Fang family and the Dong family, and the government will pay according to the price, and the original craftsmen of the Dong family will also return to work, and the wages will be distributed by the government, what do you think?"

"Naturally, naturally. ”

How dare the two of them have objections, the officials are as big as the sky, they are ordinary people, it is not easy to save their lives, and it is not bad to earn some money.

Everything was negotiated, Guo Wenying was also happy, although he always felt that things were too smooth, but the shipyard could start smoothly, so he didn't care so much.

A few days ago, Feng Jingting made a discount to the imperial court, requesting the allocation of military funds to train the navy, and the imperial court agreed, this time it was very generous to allocate a sum of silver, saying that he would do his best to support the reconstruction of the southeast navy.

For the imperial court, you can listen to it, if you really take it to heart, you will be stupid. The little money allocated by the imperial court is just a drop in the bucket in the final analysis, and even tens of thousands of military expenses are not enough, let alone for shipbuilding.

However, Feng Jingting was still very supportive of shipbuilding, and first transferred military expenses to Guo Wenying, asking her to operate the shipyard, and it was best to build a hundred training boats for the navy first, and if there was not enough, they could be purchased from other shipyards first.

It always takes time to build a new ship, so Guo Wenying had to discuss with Deng Jiucheng and first asked him to buy fifty training boats for Xu Hai.

Deng Jiucheng's money was tied to his ribs, and a copper plate was stained with blood, and as soon as he shot it, there were fifty ships, and he suddenly felt distressed, and he talked about it for a long time. However, in the end, he bought the ship at a high price.

Xu Hai looked forward to the spring rain like a long drought, and when he got the training boat, he was happier than looking at his own son, and he was grinning so brightly that he smiled.

Under the preparation of Deng Jiucheng and Zhang Xinfang for several days and nights, the shipyard finally officially started.

Dong Dafang and Dong Cun both wanted to continue to go back to the shipyard, Guo Wenying also agreed, and promised to pay them and let them help Deng Jiucheng, after all, both of them are experts, and they are more in charge than laymen.

Guo Wenying divided the craftsmen into two parts, seven adults followed Dong Dafang to build ordinary warships, and the remaining three percent of the best skills followed Guo Wenying to study large warships.

Later, Deng Jiucheng recruited a lot of shipbuilding workers, but not many of them were really skilled, and most of them were only able to do some carpenter and blacksmith work. The craftsmen they brought with them from the Northwest did even better. It's just that the shipyard has to operate, and all the workbenches need to start work at the same time, which requires a large number of people, and it is also a last resort to recruit them temporarily.

Guo Wenying asked Zhang Xinfang to verify the origin of all the recruited workers, and if there is a slight doubt, he can not use it as much as possible. The shipyard was full of timber, and if something happened it would be a heavy loss, they couldn't afford to take that risk.

These days, she spends almost every day in the shipyard. She made up her mind to build a big ship, and she wanted to be able to ban the big ship that the wind wolf could go to sea, not only because it could be used to fight the Japanese invaders, but also because the imperial court would open the sea ban in the future, and she would also use this kind of big ship.

I drew the drawings by hand, and I wanted to build a medium-sized warship first, equipped with eight guns, four on the left and four on the right, and huge sails on the side of the ship, which could carry out both far-sea and near-sea operations at the same time. She improved the original sand boat, with widened cabins, iron gangs, and special reinforcements in the bow to increase the firmness of the hull.

In order to complete the ship as soon as possible, she exchanged techniques with the craftsmen every day, and she really learned a lot, and the carefully drawn ship drawings were unanimously approved by the craftsmen.

Later, she drew a medium-sized ship with a crossbow equipped with a machine-mounted arrow, using a chain crossbow, using a large winch to control the crossbow arrows, the small one can fire twelve arrows in a row, and the large one can fire twenty-four arrows in a row, each boat is equipped with two large and eight small, ten chain crossbows, and then with long-arm crossbows, rockets, etc., which are very powerful in water warfare.

She drew two drawings, first for the boatmen to build them, and then for the time to study the boat.

The most commonly used boat in the southern water war is an assault boat, which is small, flexible, maneuverable, and fast, and she looked at the prototype and felt that it could also be modified. It can be increased in mobility and flexibility at the same time, making it more suitable for close-range encirclement and suppression warfare.

The Dong family has also done some research on shipbuilding for many years, and Dong Dafang has a few shipbuilding drawings in his hand, which he originally regarded as treasures and planned to hide them privately, but after looking at the ship drawings drawn by Guo Wenying, he suddenly felt that his own ones were just children's tricks, and they were not worth mentioning at all. simply donated all the boat drawings and handed them over to Guo Wenying for transformation.

Guo Wenying asked for relevant ancient books, and the types of warships of the previous dynasties included building ships, scouts, first boarding, ship, red horses, open boats, boats and other names. The building ship is a large warship, the ship is built several heavy buildings, the body is large, the production is solid, it is equipped with strong crossbows and other weapons, it is the main warship to attack the enemy, and often set up the building ship general to be in charge, and can also be used as a command ship.
