Chapter 145: Sweeping Away Treasures
After finishing the reorganization, he settled the more than 1,000 rescued Han people who had not been added to the Huang family's private soldiers, and arranged work for them all according to their needs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of these people are skilled blacksmiths, and many are family heirlooms. In order to dispel the narrow-mindedness of craftsmen with outstanding skills, Huang Sheng gave a generous reward.
Each master of the Huang family successfully brings out an apprentice who has passed the craft, and will receive a lifetime of filial piety from the apprentice, which is embodied by the factory leaders through the Huang family's reward for apprentices, and the standard of two coins of silver per month is implemented by an apprentice.
This means that if the master has ten apprentices, he will have an extra income of two taels of silver every month, and forever, even if the master is dead, as long as the apprentice is still alive and still working for the Huang family, the master's family will receive a monthly reward for the apprentice from the Huang family's factory.
The young musketeers adopted a variety of propaganda methods as quickly as possible, and publicized this policy to everyone's heart, and now the masters on the two islands of the Huang family have changed their concepts, and everyone is vying to choose dexterous apprentices for the record.
Huang Sheng now has money so he has personality, he chooses to treat every skilled worker well, and has launched a series of incentives, such as the reward for proposing effective technological innovation programs, the reward for invention and creation, the reward for putting forward reasonable suggestions to the Huang family, and the ......reward for doing their job well.
In a word, treat outstanding industrial workers well and force them to read and write, so that they will have a loyal and reliable backbone when they take the road of industrial power in the future.
Everyone on the two islands of the Huang family felt unprecedented happiness, and on the premise of not worrying about food and clothing, in a safe environment, in its happy atmosphere, everyone was contributing to the strength of the Huang family.
These people have gone through the chaos of life and death, they no longer want to be displaced, everyone knows that the Huang family must be strong in order to be happy, and the cohesion generated by the common interests is of course unprecedented.
The result of everyone's spontaneous and dedicated work is that 'the Huang family's products must be high-quality'. Whether it's armor, flintlock pistols, or soap gift boxes and four-wheeled carriages, etc., they are all of the highest quality.
The two captured warships remained in the dockyard on Huangjiawan Island, and they were renovated and upgraded under the meticulous craftsmanship of skilled craftsmen who were full of enthusiasm for their work, mainly to strengthen and speed up.
The Huang family has successfully renovated and upgraded six grass skimming boats and ten horse boats, accumulating a lot of valuable experience, and this time it was Zhao Shimin who personally completed it with the technical team.
In the absence of the main battleship of his own construction to enter service, Huang Sheng had high hopes for these two warships.
The design requirements were as follows: a six-pounder copper-core cannon was mounted on the bow and stern of the ship, and the base of the gun could be turned 190 degrees freely on the rails.
The all-steel base is designed to withstand 16 spring shock absorbers of 5,000 catties of recoil, so that the cannon is almost like firing on Simmons, and the damage value to the hull is negligible.
There were a total of six six-pounder copper-core iron cannons and four four-pounder guns supervised by Sun Yuanhua on the port side, and the gun compartment was hidden under the deck, which could be concentrated to one side and fired simultaneously through the rails and the steering of the base with shock absorption.
This modification was to maximize the use of the few artillery pieces, and when covering the landing operation, the balance of the hull was adjusted by ballast stones, and theoretically eight six-pounder guns and four four-pounder guns could be fired at the same time.
Because each gun has a special spring-loaded base, the recoil damage to the hull is much smaller, and the hull shake will be much less when the guns are fired in unison.
After such a transformation, the ship was still very low-key, because only the stern gun and bow gun were arranged on the deck, and the ten guns on both sides were installed in the special gun compartment below the deck, and the gun ports had small gun doors that could be closed, and the gun doors were opened to launch the gun barrel fire when the guns were fired.
After firing the shell, it was pulled back and reloaded, and because of the cooperation with the track, a person was able to pull back the six-pounder gun of nearly 2,000 catties to reload, and then push it out to shoot. Of course, this was only a last resort, and the six-pounder gun was equipped with three gunners.
The Huang family's training of gunners is not just a single gunner, they all have to become all-rounders, each of them must learn to operate a warship as a sailor, and they can carry a gun.
One person must be able to complete the loading of the six-pounder gun independently, push to the firing position, aiming, firing, pulling, clearing, continuing to reload, and so on.
The pirate ship in the renovation was named 'Liaoyang' by Huang Sheng, and the second lucky ship was called 'Haizhou'.
Four six-pounder copper-core iron cannons have been saved, and a 'Guangning' ship has been installed at the bow of the 'Guangning' that Huang Sheng drove to Huangjiashan Island this time. The other three doors are also upgrading the three grass skimming ships 'Gaizhou', 'Jinzhou' and 'Fuzhou' left on Huangjiawan Island.
Huang Sheng specially asked Wang Lianfa to shoot at different angles with the six-pounder gun in the bow at sea, and found that with such a design, the bow gun could completely hit any target of the enemy ship when it was parallel to the enemy ship.
When the gun was fired, there was no earth-shattering feeling that it had before the shock-absorbing base was installed.
After seeing it with his own eyes, Huang Sheng became more confident in the warships of the Huang family in the future, the Ming Dynasty, which has more than 100 million Han people, has so many skilled craftsmen, but there are some creative ideas that they have not thought of or have no money to experiment.
I don't have manufacturing practice myself, but I have a lot of knowledge! As long as these hard-working and intelligent working people are reminded, give them a suggestion, and then give the silver regardless of the cost, they will bring a miracle to the Huang family.
Huang Sheng came to Huangjiashan Island with the 'Guangning' warship. I didn't expect that there were already two people waiting for him on the island, it turned out that Wu Xiang took Li Gongzi to visit the island.
Huangjiashan Island is heavily guarded, and an independent courtyard has been built on the wharf to receive ship owners who come and go to deliver goods and take goods, and no one who comes to the island is allowed to wander around.
Wu Xiang and the others didn't mind at all when they were looked at, they were knowledgeable people, seeing that the soldiers and villagers here were all bright and energetic, and they were so strict with outsiders, they were more at ease with the Huang family.
Li Gongzi said to Wu Xiang: "It's really better to see than to hear, General Wu really has good eyesight, my housekeeper Li Er has said that Lord Huang has been said to be a god, and now he knows that he is worthy of the name when he arrives at the territory of the Huang family." ”
"This is not all of the Huang family, there is a bigger island in Denglai, and in the future, our sea ships can leave from there and bring a lot of supplies."
"Alas! The situation is stronger than people, and I am afraid that Lord Huang's share will have to double next year! ”
"Rao is like this, with Lord Huang's fierce escort, our lucky ship does not need to be armed at all, just pull two more to join the Japanese country, and give Lord Huang half of the increased share, we will have a lot more benefits, what's wrong?"
"What does General Wu mean to ask Lord Huang to pay 50,000 taels? I'm afraid that's a bit of a lot, right? ”
Wu Xiang sneered: "Lord Huang is so shrewd, I'm afraid 50,000 taels is just a matter of the official's assumption, anyway, the official is just the leader, what is the specific result of the negotiation, Li Gongzi will look at it himself!" ”
Li Gongzi is the grandchild of Li Sancai, the old cabinet of the former cabinet, called Li Wenyou, who is not good at reading, and is a good hand at business.
He saw that Wu Xiang's face was not very good, and said with a smile: "General Wu, the Li family has cooperated with you for many years, this time you have to help with a few words of good words no matter what, and it is difficult for students to do it, after all, the partner family is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" ”
