Master Qian is old and frail, there is Niu Gao's opponent, in front of Niu Gao, it is like a chicken, being caught, screaming, the guards brought by Master Qian want to come forward to rescue, I saw the hundreds of boatmen glaring angrily, and suddenly looked at their toes, as if there was some peerless treasure there.

Wu Di looked at Master Qian's embarrassment, and he didn't cover his mouth and wanted to laugh, but he thought that this was the mourning hall, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

Jiang De said softly to Wu Di, "Old man Wu should want to see that you are all laughing, not crying, in the past, Zhuangzi lost his wife, drummed and sang, today is the day when your Wu family is bitter and happy, I think you can tell your father, there is no need to be overly sad." ”

Not to mention that it's okay, as soon as Wu Di is even more uncomfortable, thinking of the pain of the past few days, Wu Di took Wu Xuan to cry in front of the spirit card of Old Man Wu, and many of the other craftsmen cried with this cry.

Niu Gao had already forced Mr. Qian to finish writing the divorce letter at this time and sent it to Jiang De, Jiang De nodded, and said to Mr. Qian, "Let's go, spread the news to me, the debts of the Wu family's shipyard have been repaid, if during Mr. Wu's funeral, who dares to come to the door to make trouble, prepare a coffin for himself first!" Old Man Wu is very lonely down there alone, and it's good for me to see a few people accompany him! ”

Saying that, Niu Gao yelled at those people again, scared these businessmen to run away from the door, and when they arrived at the gate, looking at Li Zhong and others with long knives on war horses, they knew that what Jiang De said was true, and it was a great luck to be able to come out safely today, and the Wu family was helped by nobles, and the news of their resurrection quickly spread throughout Mingzhou City.

——

After everyone left, the mourning hall was also a lot empty, and Wu Di asked Jiang De and others to take Jiang De and others to the living area of the shipyard.

"Okay, let's go, let the money be transferred here quickly, don't let others say that we don't count, but lose our reputation." Jiang De stamped his seal, wrote the code words, and said to the four black-clothed warriors who hugged their fists.

The four of them left in unison, and a girl in white came to the door timidly, beside him was a middle-aged man and an old man.

Jiang De saw the three of them and said, "It's Wu Xiaoniang, come in." ”

Wu Di walked into the room with the two of them, bowed to Jiang De and said, "I've seen Xiao Langjun." ”

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "Sit, let's talk." ”

The three of them sat down, Wu Di got up again and said, "Xiao Langjun, these two are the two masters of my shipyard, the older is called Wu Bing, and the younger is Wu Lian, both of whom are trustworthy people. ”

Jiang De nodded, they are all surnamed Wu, needless to say, these masters are all from the Wu family, maybe they are not surnamed Wu, but if you want to learn the most essential craft, you must change your surname to Wu. Although the Song Dynasty already had contract servants and concubines, there were still things that were sold into slavery. The only thing that is the same as the previous generation is that the slaves at this time are no longer allowed to be killed at will.

Jiang De didn't care about these things, and said directly, "That's good, let me ask you first, with the current ability of the shipyard, what kind of ship can be built?" I'm talking about sea boats! ”

Wu Di looked at the two, Wu Bing said, "Our shipyard has also built a lot of sea ships in the past, experience is there, as long as the materials are enough, you can build at any time if the materials are less than 2,000 materials, but if it is more than 2,000 materials, it will be more troublesome, we have not built such a big ship for a long time, but as long as we give some time, we are more than seventy percent sure." If it was 4,000 materials, we wouldn't have built it.

The sea is extremely windy and rough, unlike the rivers, if there is a flaw, there will be an accident, if Xiao Langjun wants to build a sea ship, it is still one or two thousand materials.

But if Xiao Langjun wants to build a riverboat, then four or five thousand materials are not difficult. ”

Material, this is the unit of measurement of ancient Chinese ships, the measurement of ships in ancient China is not calculated according to the displacement, but according to the required timber, one material, that is, one wood, two thousand materials, that is, two thousand timber to build a large ship.

It is said that it is a big ship, and the giant ships of 10,000 tons and 100,000 tons in later generations can not be compared, and the displacement of ancient materials and later generations cannot be directly converted, this is because even if the wood is the same, but if the ship type is different, then the displacement and load of the ship will be very different, for example, the same is a 400 material ship, the sand ship can carry about 130 tons, and the Fu ship can carry about 180 tons.

But the earth of 2,000 is expected to be a very large ship at this time, and it can carry more than 200 crew members, and if it is a ship of 5,000 materials, it can even carry more than 600 people.

At this time, the best way to build sea boats is Fujian Road, and the Wujia Shipyard in Mingzhou is naturally built by river boats, so the experience of river boats is much more than that of sea boats.

Jiang De looked at Wu Di and said, "Wu Xiaoniang, I also said it bluntly, I want to build a sea ship, on the one hand, I want to build a cargo ship to do business at sea, and on the other hand, I want to build a warship that can fight, I don't know this aspect, do you Wu family have experience?" ”

"Warships?" Wu Di and the three of them were taken aback, and they knew that it would not be for business when they built a warship with their little thumbs.

Wu Di stood up nervously, looked at Jiang De and said, "Could it be that Xiao Langjun is from the Ming Sect?" If so... Please also can't agree, even if the century-old foundation of my Wu family shipyard is ruined, I can't cooperate with your Mingjiao! ”

"Mingjiao?" Jiang De was stunned for a moment, and he asked with a smile, "You also know Mingjiao?" It seems that Fang La, this guy really can't become a big deal, even a little lady like you knows his details. ”

Hearing Jiang De say this, Wu Di asked, "Isn't Xiao Langjun a member of the Ming Sect?" ”

Xu Guanzhong next to him smiled and said, "My lord has the ambition of Lingyun, that Fang La is just a cult leader, in the eyes of my lord of my family, it is like a dry bone in a well, where will he be put under his command?" ”

Wu Di sat down with relief, and then explained, "The Mingjiao has repeatedly asked us to build a warship for them, and some people even rumored that my Wu family suffered a great disaster because we rejected the Mingjiao last time.

Mingjiao built a warship, it must be for the future rebellion, although my Wu family has no evidence, and I dare not report it, but I don't want to join the same stream and cause infamy in later generations. ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Fang La, this person doesn't have any great ambitions, his so-called bright world is not worth mentioning in my eyes, but... What if I built a ship to cause rebellion? ”

Wu Di looked at Jiang De hesitantly and said, "Although my Wu family is small, I don't want to spoil this peaceful world!" ”

Jiang De sighed in his heart, the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, which has been peaceful for a hundred years, has been extremely solid, and frustrated scholars like Wu Yong and puppets like Chao Gai are easy to incite for their own use, but these real traditional squires absolutely do not want war to happen, they know best that peace is the first element of the continuation of their power.

Jiang De said, "Don't worry, I want a warship, but not to go against the officials." You will know in the future that the official family treats me as a favor.

Although I already have some people in the Northland, as long as Kaifeng City is not broken by other countries for a day, I Jiang will not raise the anti-flag one day, so can you rest assured? ”

Wu Di thought for a while and said, "Then what is the use of Xiao Langjun wanting a battleship?" ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "Wu Xiaoniang has lived in Mingzhou for a long time, do you know how big the world is?" How much does my Great Song occupy in this world? ”

Wu Di hummed and said, "Although the little woman is a daughter, she also knows how big the world is, regardless of Xixia, Liao, Dali, Jiaozhi and other places, there are also Ryukyu, Goryeo, and Wa countries overseas, and it is said that there are many countries in the distance, some of them are white-skinned, some are dark-skinned, some are yellow-haired, and some are red-haired. ”

Jiang De nodded and smiled, "That's it, do these people know civilization?" Oh, that is, do you know etiquette and morality? ”

Wu Di smiled and said, "Many people say that those people are people who understand morality and etiquette, but I know that most of these people are barbaric people, in the territory of my Song Kingdom, because of fear, they only abide by our etiquette, as long as they go to sea, they will burn and loot, do everything, where is there any etiquette and education?" ”

Jiang De clapped his hands and said, "That's right, my Huaxia clan is the chosen one, since ancient times, it has fought with the sky, fought with the earth, the sky collapsed to make up for the sky, the earth was filled in, the fire came to extinguish the fire, and the water came to flood.

In the long run, I can only reduce the number of people in China through civil strife. And is it fair that the foreigners, who do not produce but love to plunder, own ten times as much land as we do?

What I Jiang De want to do is not to fight for the world, but to lead my Chinese people to fight outside the territory and fight for a larger living space for my Chinese descendants! That's the only mission I came into this world! ”

Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu and others looked at Jiang De feverishly, they all firmly believed that Jiang De's theory was correct, the land in the Song Kingdom was too small, even if they tried to increase the yield, unless they restricted the fertility of the people, otherwise it was a matter of time before there were fewer fields and more people, and there would not be enough food to eat, but should my Huaxia clan restrict their own fertility? Why can those barbarians be born in three or four at will, and our Huaxia clan is obviously so much better than them, but we have to limit our own people?

What's more, can this thing be restricted? Family planning has been met with tremendous resistance from the people, and it would have been impossible for China to implement such a policy if it had not been for the fact that China had the most organized party in history.

What's more, even if you don't mention the resistance of the people, in the eastern world at this time, is it impossible to castrate his father if he gives birth to one?

You know, this era is not a small umbrella for later generations, at this time in the Oriental world, although a lot of contraceptive methods have been invented, but most of them are achieved by women drinking medicine, of course, it is not that there is really no small umbrella in this period, the Oriental world at this time has invented a small umbrella made of fish bladder, but unfortunately the process is extremely complicated, and the poor are afraid that they will not see it in their lifetime. There are also cheap ones, that is, small umbrellas made of paper, so paper and men have an inseparable fate, and the late night has accompanied the majority of male compatriots since ancient times. Of course, the leak-proof performance of the paper is not good, and it feels even worse!

Therefore, in ancient times, it was almost impossible to carry out family planning, and if there were too many children, they had to be sold to others, or killed so that other children could survive. Of course, killing one's own children is not a last resort, and it is unwilling to do it, at this time, the Chinese clan will come forward to raise it, after all, one more person often has more hope and strength in many cases.

But the power of the clan is limited after all, when the population is large to a certain extent, as long as the natural disasters are together and the court is chaotic, then large-scale wars will inevitably befall the land of China.

Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu and others all believed that the only way to solve this thousand-year-old problem was to expand externally, to follow in Jiang De's footsteps, defeat the other races, and get their land to cultivate.

Wu Di looked at Xu Guanzhong and the others, she couldn't accept such a theory all of a sudden, her mind returned to reality, thought about it and said, "Since that's the case, please ask Xiao Langjun to give her orders." ”

Jiang De snorted and said, "What I want you to build is this ship!" ”

As he spoke, Jiang De asked Xu Guanzhong to take out a roll of drawings, Jiang De put him on the table and opened it, pointed to the drawings and said, "Have you seen this ship?" ”

Wu Bing and the others stepped forward to take a look, and Wu Bing said, "This seems to be a ship from Fujian, but it is a little different." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "This is a Fujian old friend gave to my father, so I called him the lucky boat, you look at the lucky boat, can you build it, after it is built, can it withstand the turbulence of the sea, and fight against the enemy?" ”

After discussing for a while, Wu Bing said to Jiang De, "Xiao Langjun, this lucky ship has a sharp head, a wide tail, two upturned heads, and a high head and tail, it looks like the hull is not small, according to the notes, this ship has four layers, and there are double rudders, at first glance, it is designed for HNA, a good ship, but..."

Jiang De waved his hand and said, "To put it bluntly." ”

Wu Bing arched his hand and said, "It's just that this ship is suitable for the open sea, and the draft is deeper, but I just heard Xiao Langjun say that Xiao Langjun already has people in the north, so will this ship sail in the north in the future?" ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "That's true, what?" Isn't it appropriate? ”

Wu Bing nodded and said, "But there is something wrong, the North Sea is different from my South China Sea, because there is a lot of sediment in the Yellow River, so that there is more sediment in the North Sea, and then the North Sea is shallow and the South China Sea is deep, Xiao Langjun's ship may be invincible in the South China Sea, but in the North Sea, as long as the other party lures Xiao Langjun to the shallow sea, he will be trapped in one place and unable to move." ”

Jiang De took a breath, he didn't expect that although he would expand in the South China Sea in the future, he would inevitably have to cross the North Sea in the early stage, and the lucky ships were not suitable for the North Sea, and this area was a problem.

Wu Bing continued, "So since Xiao Langjun is going to use it in the North Sea in the future, it is recommended to find another ship to build it. ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise you will have to miss a big event, you wait for a while." ”

With that, Jiang De turned to the back of the room, and after seeing that there was no one in the room, he entered the system.

In fact, the drawings of the fortune boat that he just took out were also directly exchanged by Jiang De from the system, where could Jiang De himself find a Fujian person to present the drawings to himself?
