The convoy moved forward slowly, and the biggest feeling for Li Yuanjing along the way was that Datang's business was becoming more and more developed.

In the previous few exchanges, although the shadow of the caravan could be seen on the way, it was completely different from this time.

Not to mention densely packed, but you can see caravans coming from the opposite side almost every once in a while, and some caravans gather together to rush together.

Although this is the hinterland of the Central Plains and is absolutely safe, these merchants are always vigilant.

A single loss of goods can leave them with tears in their bones.

"You're not going back?" When he came to Haizhou and looked at Li Jing, who had already settled here, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh a little.

"No, it's good here, just go to sea with you next time, see if I can find a suitable place!" Li Jing smiled and shook his head.

After the first month, Li Jing returned to Haizhou from Lingnan, and the affairs there were almost handled, and Li Daoxing gradually controlled some of the power there.

Although it is still a little unsatisfactory, at least the army will not embarrass him, and will support him when necessary.

So there is actually nothing to worry about in Lingnan, and the imperial court has sent people there to choose a site to build a factory, and the people are also looking forward to it.

The local area is relatively stable, and at this point, Li Jing's task can be regarded as complete.

"Hey!" Li Yuanjing sighed silently.

Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, the young and vigorous Li Chengqian made a mistake that no one could undo.

Although he has also been punished, the mistake has been made, and Li Jing's heart is already cold!

Or is it scared......

In the past few years, Li Shimin's frequency of using Li Jing is too high, but Li Jing's current status, even if Li Chengqian does not remove him this time, he will feel a headache when he rewards him afterwards.

Of course, Li Jing knew what it would mean if he didn't quit again.

This has nothing to do with trust or distrust, many times, many things, you can't help yourself.

Even if it's Li Yuanjing, isn't he constantly compromising and retreating?

"To see the ship?" Li Yuanjing did not continue to persuade.

When Li Jing came back after the New Year, he went to Chang'an, but he didn't stay in Chang'an for long before he brought his family to Haizhou, and bought a courtyard in Haizhou City as a foothold.

Li Jing obviously reached some kind of agreement with Li Shimin, but no one said what the agreement was, and Li Yuanjing didn't care.

And the main purpose of his visit to Haizhou this time is to build ships, and he will not care about other things, of course, it is also necessary to pay attention to the naval soldiers occasionally, after all, this is his own strength.

The two came to Haizhou Shipyard one after the other, which was in the middle camp of the three military camps in Haizhou, and the wharf was not far away.

Surrounded by soldiers in training, the shipyard expanded a separate area, partly as a ship, partly as a warehouse, and partly as a living quarters.

The life of the people here is relatively boring and closed, and they rarely communicate with the outside world, but there are often things from the outside world coming in.

Moreover, it is also the first place in the entire Datang to implement basic education.

The shipyard hired some scholars to teach the children how to read, and when they were older, they let the old boatmen teach them some other things.

After they are all craftsmen, they naturally don't feel that there is any problem in learning the skills of craftsmen, even if they don't teach them in school, their elders will teach them, which is all the craft of eating.

Of course, the shipyard divides it into dozens of different specialties, and then organizes different shipwrights to teach them different knowledge, in Li Yuanjing's words, this is called specialization and modularization.

If you want to enter the shipyard, you must first pass through the living quarters, which is also a means of preventing espionage, after all, life here is relatively closed, and after staying for a long time, even if there are thousands of people, they will know if they are from here when they see people here.

Therefore, once outsiders enter, they will soon be discovered by these people and reported to the military patrol on duty.

Of course, Li Yuanjing and Li Jing did not encounter this problem.

The first is that Li Jing has been in and out of the shipyard several times, and the second is that they are followed by Wu Xun.

Li Yuanjing and the two first came to the school, which is a senior school located in the depths, mainly to teach some professional skills, even if they have become boatmen, they will come from time to time to listen to lectures, and strive to enrich their skills.

Of course, shipbuilding technology is constantly being updated, and they also need to be recharged from time to time to ensure that they can keep up with the times.

This is also the reason why they are willing to come here to teach, anyway, these things are being studied by everyone, you don't teach someone to teach, you take it as a treasure, maybe by the time your son learns this craft, this technology has long become an obsolete technology, and it is useless to keep it.

On the contrary, if you come to teach, you can also get a certain amount of subsidies and work points.

What can I do? If the position salary is the basic salary, then the work score is the basis for deciding how much reward you can get this year.

At the end of each year, 70% of the work will be deducted, and the remaining 30% will be used as the basic work for the next year, and there will be corresponding work for each completed ship.

If there is a ship that has not been completed by the end of the year, the work will be calculated according to the progress of completion, and the unfinished part will be included in the next year's work.

This ensures fairness and ensures that workers' incomes grow each year, without overburdening the shipyards.

"What's going on in this class?" Walking outside a class and looking at the students inside, Li Yuanjing couldn't help but wonder.

I had passed by several classes before, and I found that most of them were young people, and even if you were older, you were only in your twenties, and you were still wearing shipyard uniforms.

But this class is different, the youngest looks almost twenty years old, the older ones are even thirty or forty years old, and the two who really wear student clothes are the two young people who look like they are twenty years old, and the others are all uniforms.

"Your Highness, this is a newly established design class at the beginning of last year, those two students are the best students in the school, and the others are people who have been screened by the shipyard and considered suitable, so far, the situation is not bad. They designed the Voyage that we're building. Han Chun, the head of the school and the head of the shipyard, explained.

"The Voyage?" Li Yuanjing frowned, he didn't remember naming any ships, and they were ships under construction.

Of course, the main thing is that he didn't have that much energy to take care of this side of things before.

"Your Highness, the Voyage is named after ourselves, which means the farthest ship in the Tang Dynasty, in addition, it is also the largest ship so far, its design is a 5,000-stone ship, which started construction in late August last year and is expected to be delivered in March next year, this ship adopts two boiler design, 100 steps long, 30 steps wide, and is equipped with front and rear ramming angles, catapults and other equipment."
