Chapter 376: The Art of Shipbuilding
"Pudutu, this speed is not good, only ten ships are launched in a month, so it will take at least two years to completely replace the new warship this time? No, all new warships must be built within a year! Sun Yang was very dissatisfied with the speed of this new warship, he didn't want to wait for two years!
Hearing that Sun Yang was questioning the speed of shipbuilding, Plandon had a bitter face, he was also anxious about shipbuilding, but even if he was in a hurry, it was useless, he couldn't build a ship!
"Lord, the last general doesn't want to wait for two years, but there is no way for the last general to build this shipbuilding matter, this is still skilled craftsmen working overtime to build ten ships a month!" Plandon explained that he had been concerned about the situation of shipbuilding, and he knew that the craftsmen who had done their best to build the ship.
"Do you mean that the slow progress of shipbuilding is due to the lack of craftsmen? That's easy, I can send another batch of craftsmen, as long as I can increase the speed of shipbuilding! "Sun Yang didn't think about it so much, the new warship is now his treasure, whether it is short of money or people, Sun Yang doesn't blink an eye!
Hearing this, Plandon smiled bitterly again: "Lord, it's not a matter of the number of craftsmen but the proficiency of the craftsmen. ”
"Then cultivate it as soon as possible, no one is born to build ships, we can train more skilled craftsmen, isn't that okay?" Sun Yang thought very simply, since Plandon said that there are not many skilled craftsmen, then it is not enough to cultivate more, he believes in the comprehension ability of those ordinary craftsmen!
"My lord, you said that these generals understand, but this shipbuilding matter is completely in the hands of the Xu family, and the craftsmen who are skilled and master the key parts are all from the Xu family, may they hand over these things to the craftsmen we brought over?" Plandon is also very helpless, this method of shipbuilding is unique to the Xu family, even if he has the heart, he can't force the Xu family to hand over this technology, right?
The Xu family? It's the Xu family again! This is not the first time that Sun Yang has suffered the loss of the Xu family, as early as in the previous swords and other weapons, the people of the Xu family have been hiding their own skills, but fortunately, after Sun Yang transferred the two brothers of the great inventor, it didn't take long for them to master that technology, is it necessary to transfer the brothers of the great inventor again this time?
But Sun Yang himself gave up this idea first, and now the great inventor brothers are still studying another thing in Wu County, which is equally important, and it is too late to transfer them to figure out this method of shipbuilding.
After thinking about it for a while, Sun Yang made a decision in his heart, it was time for him to talk to Xu Zhuang, the head of the Xu family.
"Pududu, this way, you don't have to worry about this matter, just train the sailors well, and I'll personally go to negotiate with the people of the Xu family!"
"No! If the lord goes out, we will have a chance to get the Xu family's shipbuilding method! "Plandon is also appropriate, and he patted Sun Yang's ass! In fact, Plandon had long wanted to write a letter to ask Sun Yang to ask the Xu family to hand over the method of shipbuilding, but for various reasons, he had never mentioned it to Sun Yang, and since Sun Yang took the initiative to mention it this time, Plandon was also very excited!
"Senior brother, have you thought about how to make the Xu family submit? This Xu family is troublesome enough, we have been checking them for so long, and we haven't investigated anything practical, I'm afraid that this time if we want them to obediently hand over the method of shipbuilding, we will have to pay a lot of price! When rushing to the shipyard, Guo Jia also spoke, he knew that they would not do anything to the Xu family before they figured out the true details of the Xu family, and the method of shipbuilding could only be exchanged through other interests!
"Senior brother, this is easy to do, didn't the secret guard investigate the two iron mines that the Xu family has always been concerned about in Huiji? As long as they hand over the method of shipbuilding, the iron ore can give them a choice! "Sun Yang has made a lot of money, you must know that the Xu family has been operating private weapons behind the scenes, but they don't have iron ore in their hands, so they can't make any big waves, as long as they don't do anything that endangers Jiangdong, Sun Yang will turn a blind eye.
But now if they have iron ore, then they will have the opportunity to make a large number of weapons and armor, whether they have two hearts or not, Sun Yang will inevitably have a jealous heart, because the threat of the Xu family is too great! First, the Xu family itself is very mysterious, which makes people feel at the bottom, and secondly, the Xu family has firmly sat on the first family hidden in Jiangdong according to the current point of view, and almost all walks of life, the Xu family has intervened!
However, if there is a loss, there will be gain, although the strength of the Xu family is very strong now, it cannot threaten Sun Yang's dominance in Jiangdong, and it is precisely because of the help of the Xu family that Jiangdong's business and economy have grown greatly in recent years, it can be said that Sun Yang will not have any thoughts about the Xu family until the last resort, because at least for now, the advantages of the Xu family's existence to Jiangdong far outweigh the disadvantages!
"Senior brother, I hope you think about it clearly, if the right to operate the iron mine is given to the Xu family, I'm afraid that the Xu family will not be able to lose it in the future!" Guo Jia is a little worried, the biggest opponent on his blacklist is the mysterious organization in Jingzhou, followed by the Xu family, in terms of headaches, this Xu family is not much worse than the mysterious organization!
"Don't worry, since I dare to hand over the iron ore to the Xu family, I naturally have a bottom in my heart." Sun Yang replied to Guo Jia very confidently, he already had a countermeasure in his heart, even if the Xu family had iron ore, they wouldn't be able to make any big waves!
Guo Jia nodded, didn't say anything more, followed Sun Yang into the dock of the shipbuilding, and went to check it alone, and Sun Yang directly found Xu Zhuang, the head of the Xu family who had been in charge here.
"Meet Wu Hou!"
"The head of the Xu family doesn't have to be polite, I came to Benhou today to discuss some things with you, let's go to a secluded place and talk about it." Sun Yang said directly to Xu Zhuang.
"No." Xu Zhuang didn't have any special performance.
After Sun Yang took Xu Zhuang to a secluded place, after waving away all the guards around him, he looked at Xu Zhuang and said, "Master Xu, Ben Hou came today to talk to you about this shipbuilding, ten ships a month, is the Xu family master satisfied with this speed?" ”
After listening to Sun Yang's words, Xu Zhuang pondered for a while, as if he was guessing what Sun Yang meant, and then smiled again: "Hehe, Wu Hou, then how many ships a month do you think can be called satisfied?" ”
"Old fox!" Sun Yang scolded secretly in his heart, this Xu Zhuang is really not easy to deal with, he just said a word, Xu Zhuang had already guessed what he meant, but since Xu Zhuang already knew, Sun Yang didn't need to knock on the side.
"Master Xu, that's the case, Ben Hou thinks that your shipbuilding speed is really difficult to compliment, so Ben Hou plans to send a group of craftsmen to learn from those craftsmen under you, and master the art of shipbuilding, won't this speed rise?"
