Chapter 221: Can a Man Do Without a King?
Director Zhang Laoshi is very familiar with the manufacture of marine ropes, because the shipyards in this time and space are basically small and complete, and most of the things related to ships have to be processed by themselves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He said to Zhang Guoan: "Bow Zhang, coconut rope is very useful on sea boats, and it must be processed more...... I just don't understand how it compares to that sisal? ”
Director Zhang Laoshi has always been interested in the sisal that surrounds the bamboo building...... He once peeled off a hard leaf and pulled out a whole silk of hemp directly from it!
He went to Zhang Guoan at that time and asked about it.
After Zhang Guoan took it, he pulled it lightly and tore off the sixty-centimeter-long sisal fiber.
At that time, Director Zhang Laoshi also showed a disappointed look.
Zhang Guoan told him, don't worry, sisal is still just a child, and you will see it at this time next year.
So Director Zhang Laoshi has been thinking about this object......
Zhang Guoan said with a smile: "Don't worry, my factory director Zhang, not to mention the length of its fiber after the sisal is mature, the texture is still tough, with thirty percent of cotton yarn, it is the lightest and best sail cloth and water pipe belt, or made of rope or fishing net alone, I promise that it will be better than coconut hemp, at least not three days of fishing and two days of drying nets...... Don't worry, let's wait until next year......"
“……”
In fact, Zhang Guoan said this to himself, don't worry...... It will be two years before the Tatar bandit group will go on the offensive......
But now, the director of Zhang Laoshi is thinking about his own affairs, he is holding the high salary of Zhang's ship, which is already twice that of a normal shipbuilder!
But he didn't think that he had paid twice as much as a normal craftsman, so he had to take the craftsmen to do it well and do his best.
When the caravan of small seagoing ships was ready, they were to leave the mouth of the Badao River in the first month of the first month of 1266 by taking advantage of the prevailing northeast monsoon.
During the preparatory period, they also exchanged sea salt and refined salt from the Great Song Dynasty for some necessary silk products and more exquisite porcelain.
Jacob's hired ship from the Arabs was also full of goods.
It's a pity. The Liuqiu area can only fire pottery and general porcelain for daily use, Zhang Guoan also wants to process products at the level of the Great Song Dynasty, but he can't invite great craftsmen, this time and space, those porcelain craftsmen are too awesome to invite.
In the end, all that can be invited is an average level. Burning daily necessities can still be used, but there is still a considerable gap in the level of the Great Song Dynasty.
But those craftsmen are still hiding at this broken level, for fear that others will learn their skills!
Zhang Guoan has a lot of electronic information produced by the porcelain industry, but it is all specious, there is no time now, he can only have time in the future, he will slowly explore, sooner or later the porcelain of Liuqiu Island will be famous in the porcelain shop of the Great Song Dynasty.
When the voyage caravan was about to depart, Zhang Guoan personally went to the dock to see them off.
These people are going to spend New Year's Eve at sea...... But Captain Cai Erlang said, "Captain Zhang." I've spent more than ten New Year's Eves on the sea, and this time it's normal......"
Zhang Guoan also sighed, maybe only he and Jing Jing knew that they were racing against time, so everyone should work harder.
Fortunately, the half-eldest sons Wang Zheng and Xiao Er didn't care at all, but they were looking forward to the upcoming new journey, and they went to sea for the first time.
Zhang Guoan also asked Captain Bao Wei to lead all the Liuqiu guards here to see them off at the dock and stand straight on the pier. He held a gun in his left hand and gave a military salute in his right hand.
These military etiquettes were all added by Zhang Guoan later. He may not be able to do the standard action himself, but he can let others do the standard.
It can be said that this is one of Zhang Guoan's plans to go to the Great Song Dynasty, at least in terms of military etiquette, it will be very different.
Wang Chao and Xiao Er saw the team members lined up in a neat line and solemnly saluted themselves, and their hearts suddenly boiled. These people are my brothers and comrades-in-arms, and when I leave, they will definitely worry about me!
Wang Chao shouted excitedly: "All of them are here, return the salute to the brothers and comrades-in-arms!" ”
The members of the Liuqiu Guards on the ship also solemnly saluted...... Zhang Guoan looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, this is exactly what he needs to be in a state...... At least he's been successful in raising the half-grown children. Judging from their attitude towards their inadvertent expressions, the feelings are still real.
At this time, his confidence was even stronger.
At least for now, he doesn't have to worry about eating.
Even many small owners who come here to open workshops are willing to pay a share of the money to eat their canteen, which shows how popular their canteen is.
As for the military canteen run by the Liuqiu Guards themselves, the food is better and not to the outside world, this is Zhang Guoan's request, he must make his guards different from the people, and have their own dignity and pride!
The respect that the Great Song Dynasty refused to give them, Zhang Guoan must give, and he must show it in practice, which is currently mainly reflected in food, housing, clothing and wages, and there will be more in the future.
Now, Zhang Guoan and many people who saw him off watched the fleet leave, and Captain Huang Zu put his mind on Zhang Guoan's bow of the ship.
Captain Huang Zu is now mainly training cold weapons, in cold weapons, he is indeed the best among the half-sized sons, in the previous training, four and a half sons used the head of the gun, wrapped cotton, and plastered with a spear to kill him alone, the final result is that all four people were sentenced to death, and Huang Zu was only shot in the thigh and arm, and was sentenced to serious injury.
Therefore, everyone is still convinced of him as the team leader.
Captain Huang Zu also served as a training tiger squat artillery team, and even learned from the experience of the last actual battle, and made certain improvements to the tiger squat gun, changing it to a gun truck support type, which can facilitate the adjustment of the muzzle.
War is the best teacher!
Zhang Guoan smiled and saw that he was busy discussing improvements with craftsmen, and thought to himself, if he could invent a retreat cannon by himself, it would really be worth making a note in history, but it was something that he took out every minute and every second, so he was not in a hurry, and he first looked at their own thinking of the Great Song people.
The reason why Captain Huang Zu paid extra attention to Zhang Guoan's bow was very simple, it was not an unfathomable scientific formation, he was numb sometimes, and if he didn't come up with something that scared him or couldn't figure it out for a long time, he wouldn't be used to it.
Captain Huang Zu felt more and more that Zhang Guoan's bow seemed to be deliberately distinguishing himself from his other Liuqiu Guards and my Great Song Dynasty...... At this point, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Can people still be without kings and states?
Captain Huang Zu is not a person who hides his words in his heart, he really wants to talk to Zhang Guoan's captain, at least, this position of captaincy is still named after my Great Song Dynasty!
However, the training mission has been very busy, not only his own team members, but also the soldiers of the Sulfur Ball Mountain Country.
As long as he trained, he couldn't see the bow of Zhang Guoan, and he always forgot the idea of talking to the bow of Zhang Guoan. (To be continued.) )
