Chapter 120: Sea Ships

The barrel of the gun out of the regime!

For this sentence, Shi Jin kept it in mind.

Seeing that the leaders had no objections, Shi Jin said: "The military department is in charge of the cavalry battalion, the spear battalion, the sword battalion, the sailor battalion and the bow battalion, and the cavalry battalion and the bow battalion are not many in number, so I directly manage them. In addition, the military department has also set up three commanders, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Ruan Xiaoer, and you will directly obey my orders! ”

Shi Jin said to Lin Chong: "Brother Lin, you serve as the commander of the spear battalion, and Luan Yanyu and Yuan Lang are your deputies and serve as deputy commanders." Song Wan, Du Qian, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Ou Peng, Deng Fei, and Li Li served as the heads of the capital. ”

Shi Jin told Lin Chong and said, "Zhou Tong, you have to pay attention, this guy is a slippery head, afraid of hardship and tiredness." You don't have to worry about it, treat him strictly and harshly, so that this guy can do things seriously. ”

Lin Chong said with a smile, "I also heard about Zhou Tong's house, don't worry, big boss, I know what to do!" ”

Shi Jin nodded and turned his head to Lu Zhishen and said, "Brother Lu, you serve as the commander of the sword battalion, and Wu Song serves as the deputy commander. Li Kui, Chen Da, and Ma Lin are the heads! ”

Shi Jin also said to Lu Zhishen, "Brother Lu, this guy who has recently gone up the mountain is brave and fierce, not afraid of death, and is a warrior. But the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, a muddy person, wild, and lack of discipline. I'll give him to you, and you will help me discipline him well. If he doesn't obey the discipline, don't be afraid, that guy has thick skin and thick flesh, and can withstand beating. You fight boldly until he knows how to abide by military rules! ”

Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and shouted: "Big boss, the Sprinkle family has recently quit murder and is dedicated to the Buddha!" ”

Shi Jin squinted at Lu Zhishen and asked, "How many jars of wine do you want?" ”

Lu Zhishen nodded and said, "Thirty altars!" Big brother, it's not Lu Zhishen who is greedy. It's really the bastards under the Sprinkle family who steal the family's wine all day long, especially Wu Song's guy. A few days ago, I stole the last jar of the sprinkle house. I haven't drunk any wine in the past few days, and I can't talk about birds in my mouth! ”

Shi Jin said angrily, "I understand, I will ask someone to send you thirty jars of wine." You help me discipline Li Kui well! ”

Lu Zhishen patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, the big boss is here, even if the Demon King of the Mixed World comes, the Sprinkle family will discipline him and obey him!" ”

Hearing Lu Zhishen's assurance, Shi Jin was looking forward to Li Kui's future days.

Li Kui used to fight in the jungle, and he practiced with thick skin and thick meat, relying on his own strength and durability, and ordinary people were not his opponents.

But when he met the reckless monk Lu Zhishen, his previous moves were not enough to see.

Who is the flower monk Lu Zhishen?

The people killed the town of Kansai with three punches and pulled out the willow tree. Beating Li Kui is like playing!

What's more, where is there a Wu Song in the sword barracks, who has practiced a good skill, and his kung fu can be regarded as the top in Liangshan.

Li Kui is bare hands, where will he be Wu Song's opponent.

The two mountains are pressing, not to mention that Lu Zhishen is jealous and hateful, Shi Jin doesn't believe that this Li Kui can still turn the sky upside down.

However, Shi Jin immediately thought of the three fierce generals Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, and Li Kui, who were not afraid of death, how fierce the sword camp should be in the future.

Shi Jin could imagine that the enemy met the sword battalion, and when he saw the scene of the three killing gods charging together, he felt sad for them.

Shi Jin shook his head, came back to his senses and said to Ruan Xiaoer, "Brother Ruan, you serve as the commander of the Navy Battalion, and Li Jun and Zhang Heng serve as the deputy commanders. Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng served as the heads. You set up a water village in the southeast, and I am ready to let Li Jun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng set up a water village, and let Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun set up a water village. ”

After arranging the military department, Shi Jin looked at Lin Chong and the others and warned, "I know that some people have been a little loose in their attitude towards training recently, and I hope everyone can be serious." I set up Pei Xuan, an iron-faced face, as the criminal department, just to reward merit and punish crimes, and to prevent everyone from slackening their armament. Whoever dares to offend will be severely punished, and even if I do, I will be punished. Do you understand?

Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen, and Ruan Xiaoer hurriedly shouted, "Yes, big brother!" ”

After Shi Jin warned them, if they still commit crimes in the future, don't blame me for not surrendering my feelings.

Shi Jin looked at Zhu Wu, Zhu Gui, and Wang Yin and said: "The security part is divided into two parts, Zhu Wu, you are in charge of military strategy, and Wang Yin is your deputy." Zhu Gui grabbed the intelligence, and Zhu Fu served as his deputy! ”

Regarding the responsibilities of the Ministry of Security, Shi Jin has time to discuss in detail with Zhu Wu, Zhu Wu, Zhu Gui, and Wang Yin.

After briefly talking about the arrangement, Shi Jin said to Jiang Jing, "Brother Jiang, you are the person in charge of the household department. I will hand over all the ledgers to you today, and you will count all the numbers as soon as possible. And an arithmetic textbook that I wrote. This is a textbook based on the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic, etc., and some of the content in it is based on the results of Arabic arithmetic. You take it for reference! ”

Jiang Jing asked suspiciously, "Dare to ask the big chief, where is Arabia?" Da Song's or Fanbang's? ”

Shi Jin thought for a while and said, "Well, it's from Fanbang, and it's far away from the Great Song Dynasty." Brother Jiang, you don't care where Arabia is, you can learn if you think it's useful. If you don't understand, come and ask me! ”

Jiang Jing didn't believe that Shi Jin could compile an arithmetic textbook, but it was difficult for him to say it when he first went up the mountain.

Jiang Jing could only say with doubts and a little contempt: "Yes, big leader!" ”

Thinking of that arithmetic textbook, Shi Jin also blushed.

High math in college, Shi Jin forgot.

This arithmetic textbook is also at the high school level.

But in this way, in the Great Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as a great leap forward beyond the times.

I just don't know if Jiang Jing can understand it!

After Shi Jin finished admonishing Jiang Jing, he turned his head to An Daoquan and said, "Doctor An, how is your medical technique going now?" ”

An Daoquan shook his head and said, "Medical books are about life and death, and you can't be sloppy." It is impossible to write it without seven or eight years! ”

Shi Jin frowned and said, "Since this is the case, then Brother An might as well teach a few students while compiling teaching materials." Or invite some like-minded people to write a medical book together. What do you think? ”

An Daoquan thought for a while and said, "Let's teach a few students, so that in the future, there will be helpers to start a sect!" ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Well, then Shi Jin found a few teenagers to teach Brother An carefully." By the way, there are also the medical soldiers of the army, don't forget it! ”

An Daoquan arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, big boss, you won't forget it!" ”

Hu Sanniang, the person in charge of the logistics department of the organization, went back to Hu's house, and Shi Jin waited for Hu Sanniang to come back before telling her. Now let Tao Zongwang and Meng Kang help manage it.

The organization and logistics department is mainly responsible for some tedious and tiring things. Shi Jin asked Hu Sanniang to be in charge for the time being, to exercise her organizational management ability, so that she could set up an intelligence department in the future.

After instructing all the affairs of each department, Shi Jin said: "The affairs of each department are clear, and everyone will go back and familiarize themselves with the work of their department as soon as possible." If you have any questions, come to me! ”

After Lin Chong and his party left, Shi Jin first asked people to invite Li Jun, Zhang Heng brothers, Tong Wei brothers, and Meng Kang over.

Seeing that people were coming, Shi Jin looked at Meng Kang, the jade banner pole, "Brother Meng, I heard that you have first-hand shipbuilding skills. What kind of ships do you mainly build? ”

Meng Kang hurriedly replied, "The main thing is to build a sand-proof flat-bottomed boat to transport rain flower stones!" ”

The sand control flat bottom boat is suitable for sailing on shallow and sandy waterways. However, the draft is too shallow for long-sea navigation.

Once you encounter a hurricane with waves, you can only hit a big wave, and you are afraid that the boat will capsize directly.

Shi Jin thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Meng can build a ship?" ”

Meng Kang hurriedly replied, "I have also built sea ships, but I don't dare to hide it from the big leader, but there is little construction land!" ”

Shi Jin thought for a while, took a piece of rice paper, and then used the burned charcoal strip to draw a simple image of the ship in "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he had seen, and asked, "Brother Meng, can you build such a sea ship?" This is just a rough appearance, and the specific details need to be controlled by you shipbuilders! ”

Meng Kang took the drawing and looked at it, and asked, "Pointed bottom, flat hull, pointed head and tail, oh, soft sails." How big is this ship! ”

Shi Jin said, "Can it be built 45 zhang (100 meters) long, 15 zhang (50 meters) wide, and 9 zhang (30 meters) high?" ”

Meng Kang said in surprise when he heard this, "Big Chief, the kind of big ship you are talking about, even if you find the best shipbuilders, you can't build it. Meng Kang knows that the current sea ships are generally about 11 zhang (about 34 meters) long and 1 zhang 8 feet (about 5.53 meters) wide. ”

Shi Jin saw Meng Kang's surprised expression and knew that he was taking it for granted, so he said, "Then spend a little more money and a little more manpower, can such a sea ship be built with a length of 15 zhang and a width of 3 zhang?" ”

Meng Kang thought for a moment and said, "This time it definitely can't be built, so you can only try it slowly." From the construction of the length of 11 zhang, the length of 12 zhang, to the final length of 15 zhang. But that's not the point, the point is on the keel. Whether this kind of pointed bottom ship can be built depends on whether it is strong enough with the keel. If you want to build a keel 15 zhang long, you must use camphor wood or masson pine. And the wood must be dried for at least 2 years before it can be used. At the same time, the construction of such a sea ship, without hundreds of people, and more than half a year of effort, will definitely not be able to build! ”

Shi Jin was stunned when he heard it: "It takes more than two years to dry, so long?" ”

Meng Kang nodded and said, "2 years is the shortest. No matter how short it is, the wood does not dry out. As soon as a dozen wet wood absorbs water and expands, the keel breaks, and the ship is destroyed! ”

Shi Jin asked, "If you roast it over fire, it should be able to speed up drying!" ”

Meng Kang shook his head and said, "The predecessors have tried it a few times, but if the fire is fierce, the wood will burn directly. The most important thing is that the heat is difficult to control, and if it is too big or small, the wood is easy to burst, and such wood cannot be used. After trying and failing a few times, I finally felt that it was more cost-effective to dry naturally! ”

Shi Jin frowned and said, "Is it true that it will take two years to build a ship to go to sea?" ”

Meng Kang heard it and said suspiciously, "Big Chief, if you are in a hurry to build a sea ship, you can go and buy it directly!" There are many timber merchants in Liangzhejiang Southwest Road and Guangnan East Road who have hoarded suitable timber. Many shipbuilders buy from them! ”

Shi Jin almost slapped himself, during this period of time, he thought about self-reliance, but he forgot that during the Great Song Dynasty, maritime trade was developed, and there were many workshops that built sea ships and merchants who sold timber in Fujian and Guangdong. You can buy it for all the money!

Shi Jin asked anxiously, "How much silver is the wood now?" ”

Meng Kang thought for a moment and said, "The price of each type of wood is different, and a big wood costs 2-6 taels. However, according to the requirements of the big boss, that kind of sea ship requires at least a few thousand pieces of wood to build. Meng Kang guessed that the construction price would not be less than six thousand taels, and if you count labor and the like, it would probably cost ten thousand taels of silver! ”

When Shi Jin heard that a ship would cost 10,000 taels of silver, he immediately took a breath of cold air.

It takes several years for the wood to be used to build a large sea ship, and then the timber is left for a few years before it can be used.

After drying, it took another year and a half to build, and then went into the water.

It takes almost a decade to go from a tree to a ship.

And that's not even counting the time spent on the training of sailors on board, as well as the amount of money spent on building seagoing ships.

No wonder the century-old navy!

Without the support of a strong national force, I really can't afford to play the gold-swallowing monster of the navy.

Shi Jin groaned, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Meng, I now appoint you as the director of the shipbuilding. Go to Liangzhejiang Southwest Road and Guangnan East Road to buy two 11-zhang long sea boats, and at the same time buy three timber suitable for building ships. Bring it back, and build this kind of sea ship on my drawings from 11 zhang according to what you said. Can it be done? ”

Meng Kang said, "Meng Kang can't do it alone, it needs the cooperation of people to build it!" ”

Shi Jin asked anxiously, "Then Brother Meng doesn't know the shipwright who knows how to build sea ships!" ”

Meng Kang nodded and replied, "The construction of sea ships is mainly built in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and Wenzhou. In addition to these four places, there are also many in Hangzhou. Meng Kang knew a lot of shipwrights when he built Huashigang, and Zhu Mian treated them harshly, and many of them were dissatisfied. It's just that Meng Kang doesn't dare to guarantee that they will go to Liangshan! ”

Shi Jin said happily, "Brother Meng, Shi Jin is going to build a sea ship. I also asked Brother Meng to come forward and invite all the shipwrights who know how to build ships. The wages will not be disadvantaged to them. If they don't want to go up to Yangshan, don't worry, tell them I'll find another place by the sea to house them and keep them safe! ”

When Meng Kang heard this, he hurriedly said: "If this is the case, Meng Kang dares to guarantee that he will recruit many shipwrights!" ”

Shi Jin heard the arch and said, "Then I'm tired of Brother Meng!" Later, I will arrange for Zhu Gui to assist you together, if you need anything, just tell Zhu Gui directly! ”

Meng Kang hurriedly shouted, "Yes, big boss! ”
