When Zhao Huan walked to the drying workshop, he saw the craftsmen coming in and out, carrying stacks of wood and placing them in the open space.

The plates, keels, masts, and decks are sorted and sorted very neatly and neatly.

"Is it because Fan Sheng's notice has arrived and the cleaning has been cleaned up, so it is so clean and tidy?"

"I'm not a fool, when I first ascended the throne, I visited the Ordnance Prison, and I also spent a whole month in the Guangbei Siege Mission, don't you know what the workshop looks like to bully me?" Zhao Huan looked at the clean and tidy workshop, shook his head and said.

Zhao Ying nodded, looking at Fan Sheng and Shao Cheng, who was accompanying the dock next to Fan Sheng, this is self-defeating.

The official family is not the kind of person who stays in the palace and does not go out, and does not know the suffering of the people.

"Chen Luoli sees the official family, and the official family is safe." The young man in the dock said helplessly.

The emperor inspects, of course, he has to clean up well before he can meet the inspection, where he wants to get dirty, how to let the nobles inspect?

Zhao Huan didn't have any intention of embarrassing Fan Sheng and Luo Li, he pointed to the wood and asked, "Why do you use steam to dry, how is this steam dried?" Doesn't it get wetter the more you dried? ”

Luo Li pointed to the plate that had been made and said, "This is what Wang Chongyang told the minister. Prior to this, the Great Song Dynasty was naturally air-dried fir wood, which was tightly fir, but when it was air-dried, it was easy to crack and deform. ”

"Long branches, in particular, are easier to bend, so it takes luck to get a piece of marine board in addition to time and craftsmanship."

"And it takes a few years to dry, and it takes a long time, and when the dockyard before the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Tongji and Kangji, the wood that had been stored for a hundred years was burned together."

Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Ying, Zhao Ying nodded helplessly, when the official family began to build the Jinkou dock, Zhao Ying specially went to search for the files left back that year, and he said helplessly: "From the city ship, to Kangji, Tongji, to the plate, to the craftsman, all of them are handled cleanly." ”

"The Artisan was killed too?" Zhao Huan asked dumbfounded.

Zhao Ying hurriedly said: "That's not true, move to Bianjing and build a river boat." ”

Luo Li said helplessly: "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, there are craftsmen without materials, and we can't build ships." ”

"There is no wood, and the officials are eager to ask for the Mulan boat, even if we have the drawings, we can't make it, because of the problem of the plates, we visited dozens of shipbuilding shipyards in Jiangnan, and it is not enough for the Mulan boat that the official family wants to build."

"Wang Sanpin told the minister this method, saying that it can be dried with steam, and the minister stayed in Cizhou for three months before he determined that this method could be used."

Zhao Huan followed Luo Li and visited the wood processing workshop of the dock in the Lower Song Dynasty.

After the processed plates are placed in the kiln, neatly placed, and after the kiln door is sealed, the coal begins to boil water, and the steam soon spreads throughout the kiln.

Luo Li looked at the kiln fire and said with emotion: "The wet wood is cut and placed in the kiln for at least three to five days. ”

"Now it's all about waiting for a whole day, waiting for the inside to cool down naturally, then opening the small door next to it, waiting for another six hours, opening the kiln door half a foot high, and waiting for another six hours before starting to get out of the kiln."

"After leaving the kiln, the curved sheets and long branches will appear, plus clamps, or counterweights or suspended in the air, level the wood, and finally put it in the sunny warehouse, and continue to return water."

Zhao Huan was dizzy when he heard it, he didn't understand the process of professional shipbuilding, and Luo Li was also a little helpless, this kind of technical matter was difficult to explain clearly.

Don't look at these few words, it is the main achievement of their wood processing workshop in the past two years.

"Although I don't really understand why this is, of course I know that there is no possibility of laziness in this process, it is all about trial and error, and I understand your hard work." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, knowing that they are still improving, that's enough.

"Here's the lacquering workshop, and the assembly workshop over there." Luo Li continued to take Zhao Huan to visit the lacquerware workshop and the workshop for assembling small pieces.

The long branches and sheets that have been dried in the shade are combined together by this means that Zhao Huan can't understand, and there is not a single nail in the whole process, and they are completely fit together, as if these woods originally looked like this.

"There are rivets, too, but they are all riveted inside, and you can't see them from the outside. These are all small tricks, even if they are rusty, they can be used for decades and then replaced. However, because iron objects rust, we rarely use nails. Luo Li said with a hint of pride on his face.

Zhao Huan actually wanted to ask, if there were no nails, would it be loose? If this thing hits......

[Reminder of historical events: When Zhu Di built Yanjing Palace, because there was no coarse material to make pillars, he had to use mortise and tenon to splice the wood, brush it with a layer of hemp and ash, and then smear it with red paint. 】

[After standing for hundreds of years, there is no deformation at all, please don't underestimate the mortise and tenon structure, nailing, many times just to save effort. 】

[In the current environment, mortise and tenon structure is the best solution for shipbuilding. After all, you don't have stainless steel...]

Zhao Huan picked up a three-joint wood, combined it together, and with a light buckle, it was combined together, and no matter how much strength he used, he couldn't separate them.

"This is a double tenon corner tenon, which is specially used for corners. This is a high waist shoulder tenon, which can be made into patterns, and there are many more, and the few placed here by the official family are all very simple things. Luo Li no longer explained the point.

After all, the officials don't know much about this.

Zhao Huan put together a few, thinking of the Lego bricks he bought at home in the past.

In terms of complexity, Lego bricks are absolutely complex, but in terms of being delicate and strong, those Lego bricks almost shatter at the touch of it.

One year during the Chinese New Year, the Lego cabinets that Zhao Huan bought were played with by the bear children.

By the time Zhao Huan knew, many Lego bricks couldn't be put together.

At that time, what Zhao Huan hated the most was the sentence that his parents repeatedly hung on his lips: Those are all children, what are you angry with them?

If you can use this mortise and tenon structure to make building blocks, and give the bear child ten catties of keel and bone strengthening particles, it will not be dismantled.

Zhao Huan told Zhao Ying what he thought.

Zhao Ying asked hesitantly, "Can this be sold?" A pile of wood put together, will anyone buy it? ”

Zhao Huan nodded very affirmatively, assembling is a man's romance, a box of building blocks, you can sit at the table and play all afternoon.

"Try it first, make a batch, sell it if you can sell it, if you can't sell it, you should make it for me." Zhao Huan confessed, and looked at the huge keel lying quietly in the dock.

This is the starting point of the dream of the Great Song Dynasty, without the giant ship, where does the sea trade come from?

More than 100 meters of mortise and tenon structure spliced out of the keel, quietly placed at the bottom of the workshop, craftsmen in the hanging basket, up and down in the workshop, assembled the Song Dynasty's ocean-going giant ship.

The fresh aroma of grass and trees and the smell of the sea always tell Zhao Huan that this is the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

Endless sea.

"Mulan Boat 5,000 materials, Dingyuan, is the 10,000 material ship, and there are more than a dozen 3,000 material ships such as the Changchang, which are under construction, and there are also three 5,000 material ships of the Mulan Boat level."

"It is expected that in the spring of next year, there will be a large ship of 10,000 materials, four ships of 5,000 materials, and 18 ships of 3,000 materials. Luo Li pointed to the dock where he couldn't see the end, and said with emotion.

Zhao Huan converted it slightly, 1,000 materials are about 60 tons, and the tonnage of this 84,000 materials is as high as 5,000 tons.

Zhao Huan nodded, pointed to the dozens of workshops in front of him, and said: "Every year, you have to make a plan and report to the imperial court, and don't forget to build bigger and bigger ships, the bigger the better!" When the wooden keel can't support it, try the giant ship with iron keel and steel keel! ”

"Won't that rust?" Luo Li asked distractedly.

"Then find a way to make it rust-free." Zhao Huan said with a smile. There are so many ways to prevent rust, and I haven't heard of anyone who uses stainless steel to build a ship.

Encounter a problem, overcome a problem, and one day the ships of the Great Song Dynasty will reach every corner of this world!

"Zhao Duzhi writes this into the regular practice, and the maritime policy must not be abolished." Zhao Huan asked Zhao Ying to write down the matter.

The Great Song Dynasty needed sea trade, because sea trade had huge profits and tariffs, and both national and domestic funds needed this money.

When this money becomes more and more important, when it becomes more and more, no matter who is in charge of this place in the Central Plains Dynasty, it is impossible to underestimate this benefit.

Then the sea trade will not be stopped.

However, Zhao Huan's emotion was soon interrupted by a commotion.

Life is like this, not only poetry and distance, but also all kinds of filth.

"I want to see the official family, why are you stopping me! Let go of me, I want to see the official family! "A man was stopped out of the crowd by his strong personal servant, he was carried in the air, dancing with his hands, but he was still unwilling to give up this opportunity.

"The loss is in my big song." Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "Let him come over." ”

If this is placed in Mites Qing, it is not the hands of the officer, but a cold weapon, and the head falls to the ground with a knife.

After all, the iron-toothed bronze tooth Ji Xiaolan and Kangxi Weifu's private interview are just TV series, and the real Mites Qing is a dynasty that will lose its head even when speaking.

Zhao Huan looked at the man in front of him curiously and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Liu Chong! Don't make trouble here! When Luo Li saw the person coming, his face changed greatly and he scolded.

"The official, the grass people are wronged. If they are driven out of the dock, they will have to jump into the sea. The man, Liu Chong, shouted loudly.

"Why were you kicked out of the dock?" Zhao Huan asked suspiciously.

Da Song was employing people, why was he driven out of the dock in a dignified manner?

Liu Chong said with a bitter face: "The grass people are sick. ”
