But considering the recent form, and the power in his hands has not been fully integrated, Zhang San gritted his teeth and sighed, he still has to wait, at least when he comes back from the capital, the capital must go back, such an important moment, although Zhang San has no ability to change anything, but the business in the capital must be arranged.

Uncle Hei brought the news of the safe delivery of the shipwright, and Zhang San began to raise timber materials, fortunately, Zhang San now has a large shipyard in his hands, and the shipbuilding materials of three two-thousand-stone ships, not to mention attracting the attention of others, even the insiders of the shipyard can't see anything abnormal.

The wood is tied into a wooden row, the upper part is wrapped tightly with a reed mat and can be used on the island, and the lower part is soaked in seawater and needs to be dried on the island for a period of time.

In the past few days, two more ships of 2,000 stone have been launched, and Zhang San has enough boats, and he began to let the students of the sailors' school go on board in batches to practice, and these captains also took the opportunity to select their favorite crews.

Zhang San also arranged for the dart bureau to put the recruited bodyguard sailors into the sailor school to train together, after all, there was only one river boat eliminated by Zhang San on the side of the dart bureau, and the river was not as good as the sea, so it could not practice the feeling of the navy.

After discussing with everyone, Zhang San decided to row a special warship in the fleet, after all, even if the cargo ship is arranged with elite escorts, it is always a cargo ship, and the cargo full of cargo has a heavy draft, and it is inconvenient to turn around, that is, it is easy to be surrounded, and it will not be able to catch up if it wins.

Zhang San planned to build two or three warships in the fleet, strengthen the hull and expand the sails on the basis of the sand boats, protect the important positions on the ship, and increase the gun positions of the crossbow and ballista.

Such ships were used for battle, and for carrying valuable cargo, or gold and silver. Therefore, it will always be in a light load state, and with two or three heavily armed warships, I believe that pirates with three or five ships can easily resist or even eliminate.

Everything else is okay, the key is that the god arm crossbow on the warship is a prohibited item, so Zhang San is eager to develop a practical ballista, this kind of fresh thing is not prohibited by the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as it is operated properly and not used in the offshore sea, it can be fooled for a long time.

But the idea is very good, Zhang San does know little about this kind of thing, Zhang San only knows from some historical novels that the ballista is the principle of using torsion springs, and there is a device that can fire both crossbow arrows and stones, but it is really dark to make it.

However, fortunately, the ballista is not a high-tech weapon, this kind of war weapon popularized in the West, Zhang San believes that some people will definitely understand among these Westerners along the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhang San arranged for Wen Zhonglai to inquire carefully.

The hard work paid off, and after these days of hard work, he finally found a blacksmith on the ship of a Great Qin merchant who understood this technique, and Zhang San bought the blacksmith from the merchant at the price of ten taels of gold.

This blacksmith was not a pure European, but an Arab near Mecca on the Red Sea coast, whose name was Faisal ibn Abdul Aziz ibn Abd al-Rahman Basar, and Zhang San decided to call him Lao Fei in the future.

Lao Fei was originally a slave on the ships of the Great Qin fleet, and after Zhang San bought him back, he promised that as long as he could teach more than ten apprentices who could make ballistas, Zhang San would restore his status as a free man, and give him a piece of land and property to allow him to marry and have children on the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now the household registration status of the Great Song Dynasty is like the green card of the old United States in later generations, in the eyes of these Western countries, the prosperous Great Song Dynasty is simply a paradise, so Lao Fei said without discipline that he can start work immediately, and he can teach enough apprentices in just three months.

Zhang San rolled his eyes, even if he wanted to start work immediately, Zhang San didn't have enough of his own people to use it, but Zhang San asked him to make a sample first, and then select a group of young and middle-aged people from the shipyard blacksmiths and carpenters, and the only requirement for these people to choose Zhang San was to send their children to Tokyo to study!

Of course, this use of hostage threats is a reward, in other words! Because they talk about important jobs, Zhang San rewarded their sons with the opportunity to study in Tokyo! If you don't feel at ease, you can go with a family member, not only will your child's education be free, but your family will also arrange a well-paid job in Tokyo.

So the selected people, with a grateful heart, were brought into a special workshop opened in the shipyard, with Lao Fei to learn to make ballistas, after three days of selection, Zhang San finally got together 20 people, with these people to start, Lao Fei's speed was greatly accelerated.

Just when Zhang San felt that everything was developing step by step according to his plan, the Weiyuan Dart Bureau sent information from the capital, and Zhang San opened it and saw that it read:

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the third year of Yuanfu, the emperor died, and the prime minister Zhang Dian advocated according to the rites and laws, and should be the same mother and brother of Zhezong as King Jian Zhao, otherwise he should be the eldest brother of Shen Wang Zhao Tong, but the Empress Dowager thought that she had no children, and all the sons of Shenzong were concubines, and after excluding Zhao Tong who suffered from eye disease, she advocated that Zhao Ji, the second brother of Li Zhezong, Duan Wang Zhao Ji, Zhang Dian pointed out that Zhao Ji "can not rule the world lightly", and refuted the opposition with the language of Song Shenzong: "The first emperor tasted the words: Duan Wang has a blessed life, and benevolence and filial piety, should stand." But Empress Dowager Xiang, with the support of Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Xu Jiang and other rulers, made Zhao Ji the emperor.

Zhang Sanyi was dumbfounded, this death was too fast, and the last time the information happened to be brought by the Weiyuan Dart Bureau from Tokyo on the 20th, and this time the information was sent by the end of the month. It's been a month since it was in Zhang San's hands.

Zhang San sighed, it seems that the construction of Weiyuan Dart Bureau will be increased in the future, Zhang San immediately asked the Hangzhou Branch to expand the scale of pigeon breeding, and then sent a message back to Tokyo, asking Liu Ge in Tokyo to also expand.

Now that the matter has been settled, Zhang San is not in a hurry, Uncle Hei's ship is back again, Zhangjia Shipyard finally has a 5,000 stone ship to complete the launch, in this way, Zhang San's original ship personnel are finally not enough, after Lao Hei and the captain's calculations to start this 5,000 stone ship, there must be at least 300 sailors on board.

And Zhang San's ship was indeed less than a hundred people, in desperation, Zhang San had to hold a recruitment at the sailor school, although these people only studied for more than ten days, but not all students in the school are novices.

Zhang San's conditions are very generous, as long as they get on Zhang San's ship, these sailors' families will be supported by the shipyard, and their sons and brothers will also be sent to Tokyo to go to school for free, not only the salary is 50% more than that of other ships, but also the casualty pension is twice that of other ships, of course, this is a reward and a requirement!

Anyway, they are all sailors, Zhang San's treatment on the boat is so good, everyone naturally rushes to be the first, Zhang San first selected four hundred, and then eliminated some who are not eligible, such as those who have no relatives or are unwilling to take their relatives to live, and secretly also eliminated those who have people in the official mansion at home, as well as those who are cunning.

After some selection, the number of qualified people was reduced to 300, and Zhang San asked these people to train on the ship, and at the same time wrote to pick up their families, and large-scale construction of houses near the shipyard began. Zhang San deliberately designed a sailor's village, which not only has residential courtyards, but also a small commercial street.
