Chapter 289 Donghai Type Sailing Battleship

Zhang Sanmei was thinking about her own affairs, but Guan Zheng, the boss of the Guan family, was worried, and finally sold the goods in his hand, and the previous purchase channels were still there, I believe that as long as he goes to sea a few times, he can bring back a large amount of silver.

But the problem now is that he Guan Boss has no ability to go to sea, the sailors who were recruited last time are basically out of business this time, and his original old crew members have also lost a large number of people, and they can barely make up three boats of people, and when they hear about going to sea, they are all frightened and pale.

Everyone is not stupid, Guan Zheng offended the Zhang family, the Zhang family can rob him for the first time, and he can rob the second time, but the Guan family may not have the ability to have the luck to meet the pirate fire in the second time, not to mention others, Guan Zheng has no bottom in his heart, the Zhang family must know more than Huang Laoer's group of pirates, and without the support of the Guan family, he seems even more lonely.

The next day, Guan Zheng continued to worry about his plans to go to sea, and Zhang San began to look for excellent captains near Hangzhou. Now the ship has not been built, though. But you always have to build a sailor's shelf, and find a boat to practice.

Zhang San's conditions for finding a captain are very simple, as long as he is experienced, has no bad deeds, and has parents or children at home, Zhang San asked the people from the shipyard to invite these people to come for an interview according to the list compiled by Zhou Feng in advance.

Fifty-four invitations were issued, and in the end only twenty-two people arrived, Zhang San met one by one and inquired, and under the temptation of Zhang San to offer more than 20 percent of his peers' wages, 19 people signed a ten-year agreement.

These people are far from enough, six big ships of more than 5,000 stones, each boat needs a captain and a first mate, it needs twelve, and those small boats of 2,000 stones, although some of them are ordered by others, but there are still ten that Guan Zheng prepared for himself.

In this way, Zhang San is at least short of more than three captains, and the position of captain not only needs to know how to manage, but also to be able to handle the sails, rudder, use a compass, and be able to read the stars, know the monsoon, get the route, avoid the reef, and go to many cities.

And Zhang San is not willing to use the minimum configuration, there will be more and more ships, and it can't be recruited one by one, fortunately, it is not only Hangzhou that has a captain who has gone to sea, and a fleet only needs the captain of the pilot ship to be better, and other ships must be able to follow the team.

And such a powerful captain Zhang San recruited three this time, after the high and low matching, it was enough to form three fleets, and Zhang San, who was from other cities, was too lazy to run one by one, and only wrote some new ones to get the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, so that the Dart Bureau could be sent one by one, of course, Zhang San also paid the money, which can be regarded as adding a business to the Dart Bureau.

Zhang San was busy recruiting captains all day long, in order to stabilize people's hearts, each captain first issued a 20 settling-in allowance, and then Zhang San promised to pay the wages first when going to sea, and these captains instantly felt a lot more relieved.

In the evening, Lao Mo finally made the initial sample of the boat type depicted by Zhang San, and Zhang San saw that except for the sail that made people feel awkward, the others had achieved what he wanted, and the sail could only use a Chinese-style hard sail.

The Western sail system is a completely new discipline that will require at least a few years of research and promotion to master. Zhang San also wanted to know whether the Chinese hard sail was better or the Western soft sail was better, but first, there was no time, and second, there was no technical staff to study it.

Zhang San and Lao Mo studied together and improved and optimized some places, and finally until there was no problem, Zhang San instructed Lao Mo to start making ship samples, and the only thing left was to modify while building.

The first batch of three ships of 2,000 stones, the second batch of two ships in addition to three ships of 2,000 stones, to build a 5,000 stone, and then each batch of three ships of 2,000 stones, one of 5,000 stones, after a year or two of navigation experiments to determine that there is no problem, in the decision of the next step, the size of the ships and the final finalization.

A new type of ship naturally has its own name, Zhang San wanted to use a name like a clipper ship at first, and finally chose to use the East China Sea type battleship, Zhang San was very satisfied with this kind of ship, and felt that this kind of ship should be slightly improved until the era of battleships with artillery on ships.

Starting tomorrow, Lao Mo will start to make the final ship sample, and now the people's hearts have not yet been settled, and Zhang San doesn't know how many of those people are other people's spies. Therefore, in addition to making a ship sample of the East China Sea type warship, Lao Mo also has to make a ship sample of the Fu ship.

The ship samples of this era are like the design drawings of later generations, with the ship sample, then others can easily imitate it, without that, it can only be measured according to the actual ship, which is often a thousand miles wrong.

Zhang San certainly doesn't want his latest design to be known to the world before it is hot. Therefore, Zhang San did not dare to let other shipwrights participate, and Lao Mo was also a veteran, patting his chest and promising to do both ship samples within five days.

After one night, the nineteen newly recruited captains arranged all the things at home, but except for chatting and farting together, Zhang San had no ship to arrange for them, and no sailors to arrange for them to use.

Looking at these more than a dozen middle-aged and elderly people, standing in the shipyard and chatting in a daze looking at the ships on the slipway, Zhang Sanyi patted his head and decided to open a sailor school! Recruit sailors! Near the dock of the shipyard, Zhang San temporarily converted the warehouse into classrooms and dormitories, and decided to teach the sailors first, so that there would be a steady stream of sailors to use them in the future.

Fortunately, in order to expand the fleet, the warehouses at this wharf were all newly built and expanded, and dozens of large warehouses were enough to recruit one or two thousand people to eat, live and attend classes here. Zhang San first went to various markets to loot the sailors, and in an instant there were 500 more students in the school.

The first thing at the beginning of the school was to hold a competition, and after Zhang San discussed with the nineteen captains, more than twenty competitions were set up according to the more than twenty techniques to be used on the ship, and the top three in the competition not only had rich rewards, but also had the opportunity to serve as teachers in the school.

Once these sailors are qualified and selected by the captain, they will get the opportunity to get on the ship, and their wages will be increased by at least 20 percent.

For each qualified apprentice brought out, the salary will rise from 100 to 500 wen. At least two qualified apprentices must be brought out every year, and there is no limit to more. The more wages there are, the higher the salary, and the master with more apprentices, when he is too old to get on the ship, will arrange to teach in the school, and receive the salary until he dies.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have the habit of leaving a master in hand, but in the face of tangible interests, you are not moved, some people are moved, you are not willing to teach, and some people are willing to teach. After Zhang San's game ended, some people from other cities heard the news of recruiting sailors from Hangzhou, and rushed here one after another.

Zhang San's requirements are very simple, each person at least mastered the technology of more than three jobs, each increase in the same salary rose by one-third, within the first month to reach the qualification, the first month began to receive wages, three months can not meet the qualified standard, not only can not get a penny, but also be driven away!
