Li Lin hurriedly went to the Suzhou shipyard, Xiucai's letters followed one after another, and the prince of Yan was not in such a hurry, the shipbuilding of the Song Dynasty was actually very developed, that is, Zhao Zhen did not like to fight, and the cavalry had no temptation for him, let alone the navy, as soon as I heard about a small shipyard, build it!

With a wave of his hand, it is under Li Lin's management, you brothers are close, you can do it yourself, it is the distress of the five million guan, not Lu Zifei out of the other half, I want Zhao Zhen to take out the five million guan from his pocket to build a ship, and do your spring and autumn dream!

The director of the shipyard knew that a big man was coming, and after seeing Li Lin, he lowered his head and said: "Angel, this time is too urgent, and the drawings from the ordnance supervisor are very different from our traditional ships, and this is the first time we have built them." ”

Li Lin said impatiently: "Take me to see first, what is the point, there is still a month to go is your deadline, I am the young superintendent of the ordnance superintendent, your top boss, the person who uses the boat has not yet arrived?" ”

Coming to the diving place, a behemoth appeared in Li Lin's field of vision, such a big ship is really the first time to see, like a giant dragon coiled on the sea, forty meters long, more than ten meters wide, from a distance can make people's blood boil, with this thing to fight is estimated that anyone will become an invincible general!

Seeing the look of satisfaction on Li Lin's face, the director said with a little pride: "Young Eunuch, it's not that the villain boasts, if this ship reaches the sea, no ship is his opponent, a ship can carry five hundred people, these five hundred people are regular soldiers, not counting logistics personnel, we were shocked when we got the drawings, can such a big ship be built?" ”

Li Lin asked: "Then how did you build it in the end, and has this ship been built?" ”

The principal said: "We gathered all the masters of Suzhou who can build ships, they studied for half a month and concluded that there are enough materials to build out, to tell you the truth, these three ships have used up the wood that Suzhou has accumulated for five years to build ships, and more than 1,000 keels have been used with keels, and more than 600 barrels of tung oil, these three ships can come out of my hands I am very satisfied, the boatman in front of my eyes has been testing on the sea outside for a day, and he is not afraid of any wind and waves, tornadoes It can withstand it." ”

Li Lin said: "I read the drawings at the time, and didn't it finally indicate that you should nail a thin layer of iron sheet on the periphery?" Why didn't I see this, are you corrupt? ”

The chief said with a sad face: "My lord, I don't dare to give me 10,000 guts?" The iron materials were all shipped, and the blacksmith couldn't get the thin iron sheet mentioned on the drawings, or it was just a little bit, and the drop in the bucket didn't play a role, and the damn blacksmiths also said that we were deliberately entertaining, and we had calculated the weight of the ship, and there was really the kind of thin iron sheet on the drawings, and there was no problem with laying a layer, and it had no effect on the ship itself. ”

Li Lin remembered, Xiucai had specially explained to him, this time he was in trouble, he didn't come to blame himself, he said to Shi Daliang: "Last time I taught you the method of rolling iron sheets, did any of our entourage know how to do it?" ”

Shi Daliang said: "There are two will, do you want to call them over." ”

Li Lin roared: "What are you doing here, don't let people get the iron sheet, think about whether I can dry you if I hang you on that mast." ”

Shi Daliang wiped the sweat on his forehead and asked someone to strike iron, Li Lin stopped him and said: "Go and recruit more blacksmiths nearby, with the two of us to get the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, you must get enough iron sheets for me in a month, otherwise you will hang yourself up." ”

The principal said: "My lord, the amount of iron sheets you want is too large, you can do it without iron sheets, the villain guarantees with human heads, they are definitely overlord-level existences on the sea, three ships can not be broken without 5,000 people, there are a few small thieves on the sea, seeing that these three ships have slipped away, I don't believe they will have the courage to fight." ”

Li Lin said: "What is your name, seeing that your age is not young, and your wish has been fulfilled, I am still young, and my fiancée is still waiting for me at home?" I can't bear to give up my life! If you don't do what he asks, the craftsman will be fine, he puts the two of us in the sea water for two days and plays like playing, and if he can do it, he will do it as much as he can, he wants to do big things. ”

The principal said: "The villain's name is Dyson, he is forty-eight years old this year, he has built a lifetime of ships, these three are the most proud of us, I really want to go to sea with it, and see his invincible heroism at sea." ”

"That's not simple, you just need to let these three ships sail on the sea without any problems within a month, you have done everything that should be done on the drawings, I will give you a chance to go to sea with it, and a chance to make money."

Dyson said with tears in his eyes: "Then thank you, my lord, I will also complete the task on time if I fight for this cheap life, I have eaten and drunk Lazar in these three boats for more than half a year, he is more precious than my children, thank you again, these three boats have saved thousands of lives." ”

Li Lin asked, "Why do you say that?" What does this have to do with me. ”

Dyson said: "These three boats are the first time in the past ten years that the imperial court has directly ordered us to build ships, and the craftsmen in the factory can't feed their families here, and many people go to fish, take risks, build a few small fishing boats for fishermen, and do some tinkering work, these three boats allow many craftsmen to feed their families, and the family has a lot of mouths." ”

Li Lin said: "Then you can thank the wrong person, the person you should thank the most is the emperor, these three ships were built for him, Lao Dai, why do you have a completely different attitude towards me than just now?" ”

"It turned out to be made for the emperor! That's really a blessing for us, I was afraid that you would cut off my head, but now I know that you won't, you are a good person. ”

Li Lin is embarrassed, weren't good people all for Xiucai before? Who are you? Playboy, eating and waiting to die, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, stealing chickens and touching dogs, these words are appropriate!

"Don't worry about this, for the rest of the month, I will work with you to supervise the construction of these three ships, don't use the word 'you', I'm still a twenty-year-old doll, you probably don't want to call me a name, you can call me an official!"

Dyson said, "Yes, young eunuch, I'll take you to see the remaining two!" Now it's all that remains to check every keel, every rivet, and then brush the oil, and you can go to sea. ”

Li Lin motioned for him to lead the way, he was really shocked when he saw one, there was no control on the side of the one in front, and there were more than a dozen Xiaochuan on the side of these two boats, and the workers stood on the small boat to check, and the ants and elephants were like the scene in front of them.

April in Suzhou is already very hot, at least 25 degrees or more, many workers have dragged their shirts, Li Lin said to Dyson: "Why don't I see a place to provide water for workers, and boil some mung bean soup for workers on such a hot day!" ”

Dyson said: "10 million guan sounds like a lot, but when you get to the shipyard there is not so much, there is not much left after the materials and workers' wages are paid, and nearly a thousand people get a few hundred guan a day for drinking mung bean soup." ”

Li Lin said angrily: "That can cost a few dollars, now let people get it immediately, I'm standing here hot and sweating, not to mention that they still have to make efforts, these shameless things, the lord's money dare to peel the skin, you two take my greeting post to Suzhou Mansion to ask, who took my money, send it back to me quickly, I will let them peel off the skin." ”

The two personal guards took the order and left, and Dyson said: "Young eunuch, you just want the money back, how will we live in the future, our ancestors have lived here for generations!" ”

Li Lin said: "Believe me, I am saving their lives, money is a small problem, the boat is a big problem, arrange someone to cook mung bean soup for the craftsman, you follow me don't talk, I want to ask the real progress of the workers, see if you are tricking me." ”

When the two of them went on deck, Li Lin stopped a craftsman with a hammer and asked, "Master, how long will it take for this ship to be built?" ”

The old man glanced up at him and said, "Under normal circumstances, more than a month is fine." ”

Li Lin said: "Is there a faster way to listen to the master's meaning? ”

The old man said: "The salary is too low, you will definitely be able to work faster if you add money, and life is not good, and people's strength is limited." ”

Li Lin asked a few people in a row, and the answers he got were almost the same meaning, after living with Lu Zifei for a period of time, he also thought about this truth more clearly, eat well, drink well, and they will really work for you.

Without turning around, Li Lin came to the craftsman's place to eat, dug a bowl of rice and tasted it, his teeth were almost broken, he threw a bowl of rice in front of Dyson and said, "Is this rice eaten by people?" It's full of stones, and what is that black thing, aren't you afraid to eat the dead? ”

Dyson said: "Lord Young Eunuch, it's all like this, I eat like this every day, the craftsmen only have this meal at noon, and the morning and afternoon are porridge, with a little pickles, and people who are not craftsmen don't have this meal at noon." ”

Li Lin said: "I don't care about other places, here three meals a day must be dry, but also meat, immediately, immediately let people buy it, just use the money from the shipbuilding, and I will let people make up with my own money in a while, and I will come every day for the next month to check the food of the craftsmen, how much can they eat?" Lao Dai, I didn't say you, when you met me, you really had green smoke in the ancestral grave. ”

Dyson said: "Young Eunuch, I know you are kind, they have eaten well in the month you are here, what will they eat when the ship is finished?" It's still going to starve. ”

Li Lin said: "You will have endless boats and endless rice in the future, I didn't say a word of lie, all the craftsmen and masters heard it, everything on these three ships will be built within this month, and the emperor will take out 100,000 yuan as an additional reward to you, there will not be a penny deduction, I will let you eat well, drink well, work hard, and have no other interference." ”

The craftsmen looked at him and didn't speak, it was clear that they didn't believe it, Li Lin was embarrassed, and Dyson continued with him: "What this young eunuch said is true, you should always believe my words!" ”

At this time, the workers all cheered, and Li Lin also had a smile on his face.
