"Twenty thousand taels of one?"

When Zhang Mao heard this, his eyes suddenly widened like bull's eyes, and then he shook his head again and again and said.

"This is too expensive, as far as I know, the price of a lucky boat is only a few thousand taels of silver, and your fishing boat costs 20,000 taels, which is too expensive."

Liu Jin smiled and said: "This is a professional marine fishing boat, all its designs are for marine fishing, you can catch 100,000 catties of marine fish in a day, and it shouldn't be expensive to sell 20,000 taels of boats, right?" ”

"And the shipbuilders and shipbuilders in this shipyard, their monthly wages start at least five taels of silver, and as long as they can reach the master level, I will give them a house, which must be counted."

"Shipbuilding is a technical job, but not all ships can go to the sea."

"The salary of five taels of silver per month is divided into ...... house"

Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao were speechless when they heard this, this salary is too high, and this treatment is too good, in the inherent concept, this farmer and industrialist, carpenter and blacksmith engaged in technology, etc., have a lower status than farmers, and now the salary starts with five taels of silver, and they actually divide the house, this treatment is simply unheard of.

"These kinds of ships are multi-masted sailing ships, which are characterized by having multiple masts, which can have multiple canvases at the same time, and the more masts and the more canvases, the better its agility and maneuverability, and its speed is very fast."

"The multi-masted galleon's very low building and deep draft make it safer in the event of strong winds and waves, making it a very suitable vessel for ocean voyages."

Liu Jin looked at the expressions of the three people, smiled slightly, and pointed to a few strange ships and said, these ships were designed by Liu Jin after the European Galen ships.

The Galen ship is one of the most famous ships of the Age of Discovery, and it is also the most suitable ship for ocean voyages in this era.

However, the Galen ships in the shipyard were very small, and they were only used by the workers and masters in the shipyard to practice, and could not be used for ocean voyages.

"Multi-masted sailing ship, ocean voyage~"

Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao listened carefully, they knew too little and too little about the content and knowledge of ships and oceans.

Li Dongyang and Zhou Jing were officials in the Eight Classics Examination for the Imperial Examination, read the Four Books and Five Classics, and learned the Tao of Confucius and Mencius.

Soon, a few people left the shipyard, the shipyard and Tianjin Port are very close, and a few people naturally walked towards Tianjin Port.

At this time, the port of Tianjin was still very lively, full of recruited victims, who were very organized in the construction of ports, docks, docks, docks, and so on.

Because of the large number of recruits and the existence of the artifact of cement, a large port has already been built.

Walking on the flat cement road, looking at the port buildings that are completely different from this era, most of the buildings here in the port are built in the architectural style of later generations, especially because of the artifact of cement, this house can be built relatively high.

Therefore, many buildings in the port area are built with four or five floors, and the tallest lighthouse is dozens of meters high, plus the port side is the first to use cement, basically everything is built neatly with cement, and it looks very shocking.

Looking at the huge army of busy people not far away, Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, Zhang Mao and others all stopped their steps, and there were many emotions in their hearts.

"It's unbelievable that such a huge project has been built in such a short period of time, and what is even more rare is that it has just helped the victims.

Li Dongyang seems to have a feeling, the port in front of him, the amount of work is very huge, the huge port area is more than 10 kilometers, plus the shipyard not far away, the shipyard's family community, and so on.

Such a huge project, if it is done by the imperial court, not only requires a lot of labor, but also requires a lot of financial and material resources, and it will take a long time to complete.

"Yes, because of the famine, so this labor is very cheap, as long as there is food, they are willing to work hard, if in normal times, I will definitely not be able to recruit so many people, and the cost of this salary will be very large."

Liu Jin nodded and replied.

"It's good to work for relief, without you Liu Jin, I don't know how many people will starve to death."

Li Dongyang looked at the busy scene of tens of thousands of people in front of him, tens of thousands of people gathered together to work, and when he looked at it, it was a sea of people, and the scene was extremely spectacular and lively.

There are a large number of people who come with stones, sand and gravel, and there are people who carry carts and carts of cement, some people are responsible for mixing, some are responsible for pouring, and some people are responsible for leveling the land.....

Everything has a clear division of labor, there is a team responsible for building the dock, there is a team responsible for building houses, and a team responsible for building roads, everything is in order, and the huge crowd completes their work very quickly under the leadership and command of the stewards.

Seeing this, and thinking of the busy scene on the official road when I came, it is hard to imagine that these sweaty and shirtless people will be disaster victims.

But on the way to Tianjin, he saw too many hungry people, and there was a sharp contrast between the two, which made Li Dongyang can't help but sigh.

"Ashamed, ashamed~"

"Your Majesty is sage, the princes of the court are capable, and the people of my court are hard-working, smart and hardworking, no matter how big the difficulties are, they can be overcome, and what I have done is insignificant, and even take advantage of it."

When Liu Jin heard this, he shook his head again and again and said.

"Don't be modest, you kid, we see your ability in our eyes, it's ashamed to say that we, the important ministers of the court, although we keep shouting to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, share worries for the monarch, do our best for the community, and seek the well-being of the common people in the world, but we are helpless in the face of this famine, we are really ashamed!"

Zhou Jing patted Liu Jin on the shoulder, this title has changed, obviously very satisfied with Liu Jin, otherwise he wouldn't be called like this.

"Zhou Gong is modest, Zhou Gong is upright, he dares to give direct advice, he has the virtuous name of Tang Wei Zheng, and the kid has long been like thunder, and he admires it very much."

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately hurriedly said to Zhou Jing, Liu Jin's fart was obviously slapped on the point, which made Zhou Jing very useful, touching his mustache, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He has always taken Wei Zheng as a role model to learn from, so Liu Jin compared him to Wei Zheng, which naturally made him happy.

"Bell~Bell~"

While they were chatting, the bell rang above the lighthouse in the port area.

"A ship has returned to port, a ship has returned to port~"

On the high lighthouse, the watchman shouted loudly with a loudspeaker made of iron sheets, and immediately let everyone know what was happening.

"There's a ship back?"

As soon as Liu Jin heard this, he quickly looked at the sea outside the port, where the sea and the sky directly met, the figures of several ships loomed, heading towards Tianjin Port.
