Zhang Guoan discussed with Jing Jing and clarified the main tasks at present. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Grain, vegetables, fish and meat, they can basically guarantee the supply now, and the habit of at least three meals a day has been cultivated by the Great Song people in the Badaohe area.

The big cafeteria system is good for now, and it will continue to be maintained.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty military system was also like this, and the Great Song Dynasty government also considered the matter of maintaining stability, so they kept idlers in captivity and sought stability by centralized public investment for food.

Of course, the box soldiers also have to work or act as auxiliaries, and those who perform well can also be transferred to the forbidden soldiers.

After doing so, the soldiers have basic living security and room for growth, so they are quite stable.

Therefore, throughout the entire history of the Great Song Dynasty, there has been basically no large-scale and long-term mob rebellion, and there is a real reason for this.

This is also the reason why the military expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty often accounts for more than 50 percent of the total income, and even reaches more than 80 percent, and the country can continue to maintain development.

When it comes to the fundamentals, this is a disguised dividend of the Great Song Dynasty government, and not all the money is left in the hands of the government or the elites.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are a very small number of officials who ruthlessly trap the soldiers, and there are also mobs who take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, but they are definitely non-mainstream.

Zhang Guoan and Jing Jing also decided to give the soldiers a way out, and they started with two clubs first.

Anyone who gets a place in the arquebus club or the bow and arrow club competition can also enter the Liuqiu Guard, enjoy the treatment of guards------ and the two officially name the army they formed, which is not offensive at all, that is, the Liuqiu Guard, to defend their own army.

This guard has its own canteen and its own other logistics. It can be said that after the castle was built, they had their own place to live, and they were basically not the same as the van soldiers.

Their monthly income is also high.

Therefore, being able to be selected there is a good way out.

As a result, more people have signed up for the two clubs. They started training themselves in their spare time, and the competition was fierce.

Zhang Guoan appropriately increased his investment in the community, at least increasing the number of arquebuses and bows and arrows.

As mentioned earlier, the Great Song people of this time and space are particularly fond of organizing clubs, and they themselves have organized Keju clubs, or several------- the most interesting thing is that sailors also have them, called the Flying Fork Club, which is related to whaling and shark hunting. In their free time, they compete to throw harpoons, and those who hit them have a jackpot.

Speaking of the Keju Club, this has something to do with Zhang Guoan.

The way they had previously developed a kemari competition was popularized by the twenty and a half children, and it soon became popular here.

Because the rules are clear, the winner is easy to judge, and every holiday, such a net game. It soon became an important item for legal gambling.

At this point, the two teams have different bettors. Cheering for the team you bet on, even more excited than the players on the field.

The point is, there are also women who also participate in the gambling, and their cries certainly stimulate the game even more.

Zhang Guoan mentioned Hu Zhenbei's blacksmith's request to Jingjing, saying: "It is not necessary to control the defense of men and women like that, right? ”

Quiet smiled and said, "Actually, you men don't understand. There is a distance between men and women, but it is easier for both parties to have a good feeling. Besides, they have a break every ten days and can move freely, so we don't care about their love ------"

Zhang Guoan suddenly found out at this time. He fell into the blacksmith of Hu Zhenbei, it was not that he had no opportunity to express it, but he didn't seem to dare to express it, and in turn borrowed himself to do his good thing!

This kid is very cunning, and he doesn't care about his business!

Hu Zhenbei's blacksmith said aggrievedly: "Master Zhang, you see, the speed at which we are waiting to build an arquebus has accelerated!" ”

Zhang Guoan said: "This is because some good blacksmiths have been recruited!" What does this have to do with proposing marriage to you? ”

“------”

Zhang Guoan was pleased to see that the blacksmiths recruited this time were of a very high level, especially the blacksmiths of the small ship repair yard.

Zhang Laoshi, the director of the factory, said to Zhang Guoan: "In the shipyard, whether it is a carpenter or a blacksmith, there must be some means------ the small people who are looking for this time are people who have known each other for more than 20 years, and they are worthy of the wages of the master's family." ”

Zhang Guoan said: "There is no need to talk about wages, it is good to leave the ship as soon as possible, you have also seen that it is inconvenient to always hire other people's sea ships------

The factory director Zhang honestly said: "The small one understands, when the shipyard is built, a certain person will go to the mountains to find big materials!" ”

Zhang Guoan said: "What do you think of my wood drying room? ”

The factory director Zhang was honest and happy, and said: "When I was in Lin'an City, the main family did not buy wood, and I thought that I would have to wait until a year or two later to get out of the ship, but I didn't expect that I could use this method to dry wood." If all goes well, we will be able to go out by the end of this year! ”

Zhang Guoan understood in his heart that their so-called drying wood was to kill plant cells.

Freshly cut down trees can't be used for shipbuilding, temporary ones can, but they can't be used for long periods of time, because the cells are still growing and will break the hull.

Of course, the ancients didn't know about plant cells, but they knew this, so they generally had to dry the wood for a year or two, and then use it after the plant cells died and no longer grew.

The wood drying room built by Zhang Guoan and his team directly dried and killed plant cells, so that the wood could be used directly in a short time.

The factory director, Zhang Laoshi, didn't understand the reason, but he knew at a glance what wood was available and what was not.

On top of that, he was very interested in the woodworking machines, especially the windmill circular saw, which was simply the best tool for breaking large logs and sawing all kinds of boards!

This seemingly simple sawn wood, the knowledge in the middle should not be underestimated.

The logs of shipbuilding are particularly thick and long, which requires the sawmills to be skilled, sawed down one by one, and the error of a few centimeters cannot be tolerated, otherwise a long log will be sawn off.

Once the wood is sawn, it also needs to be well dried and corroded, so that the boat is strong and durable.

But when Zhang Laoshi and the others learned to use that windmill-type circular saw, they suddenly felt much easier, and with the so-called drying room, everything became convenient.

They used to pull a big saw with two people, one on the left and one on the right, but now they have become two people on one side to manipulate together, which is simply saving a lot of effort!

Shipbuilding is like building a building, building a skeleton, making a watertight compartment, and then building it layer by layer, and then laying the deck and building the cabin...... It is a very technical work, but it is more demanding on each component, with these woodworking equipment, it is like a tiger with wings.

Therefore, Director Zhang Laoshi now said that he can leave the ship at the end of the year, which is a lot of relaxation for himself.

Director Zhang Laoshi's shipyard, like the salt works, is on the left bank of the Badao River, so the space for them to expand in the future can be said to be infinite if needed.

Now, they are digging a dry dock 50 meters long, 30 meters wide and 7 meters deep by the sea, plus a channel leading to the sea, which is still a big project.

Right now, the more than 1,000 soldiers who brought in the fried salt are excavating. (To be continued.) )
