"The soil on the river bank is too loose, and the wooden piles are easy to be washed away by the waves, and if the stone bank is masonry, the river will wash away, and it will still leak for a long time, and it will still collapse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Lin Yizhe quietly rejected the plan he proposed, and once again put forward his own proposal to change the location, "The soil on the northwest bank of the Majie Mountain is compact, and there is the Majie Mountain to block the typhoon, which is a good site for shipbuilding, and it is a long-term plan to move the factory here." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhou Kaixi's face was a little unbearable, and he glared at Lin Yizhe and said, "Today's factory site is the place where Zuo Gong was selected by thousands of choices. Dare to say such big things! It's just a storm, and the current factory is regarded as a dangerous place, and if you want to relocate it all, do you know how much financial resources and labor will be spent in it? ”

Seeing that Zhou Kaixi, who was promoted by the harbour master and was also the governor of Fujian, was angry and scolded Lin Yizhe, Xia Xianlun and Wu Zhongxiang and other shipmaster officials were all surprised.

"The new site has a big mountain to block the typhoon, isn't it stronger than a rock wall? And there is no need to spend labor, now the old site has been destroyed, if the rammed earth piling is rebuilt, it is not only a waste of manpower and material resources, and may not be solid, if the typhoon strikes again, is it not a useless work? Lin Yizhe still talked calmly, but his voice was slightly higher. He heard Zhou Kaixi say that the change of location consumes financial resources and labor, so he took the opportunity to calculate the economic account for him, "Do we have to experience another typhoon disaster and waste countless money and food lives in a useless place?" ”

Hearing Lin Yizhe's analysis, although Wu Zhongxiang and other shipping officials around him did not speak, they could see from their expressions that they agreed with Lin Yizhe's opinion in their hearts.

"Lin Kunyu! What is your intention to change the factory site so much? Zhou Kaixi was anxious, and when he saw that the economic account could not be calculated, he simply played the moral card, "This place was decided by Zuo Gong's thousands of selections and careful considerations, and Zuo Gong's thoughts are far-reaching, how can you compare?" You sell your reputation, make reckless discussions, and want to put Zuo Gong in a place? ”

Hearing that Zhou Kaixi's opposition to the change of address was actually for the sake of Zuo Zongtang's face, Lin Yizhe's anger rose in his heart, but between his words, he still looked calm and relaxed.

"Dare to ask Lord Zhou, is it the face of Duke Zuo that matters, or the net worth and lives of more than 1,000 people in this shipyard?" Lin Yizhe smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Lord Zhou insisted that the old site was selected by Zuo Gong and could not be replaced. Lord Zhou, where does this want to put Zuo Gong? ”

Hearing Lin Yizhe's words as sharp as a knife blade, to the point, but his words were calm and calm, and he looked like a "saint who can't make a face when he is angry", Shen Baozhen and the others were shocked, but they couldn't help but secretly admire.

Zhou Kaixi made Lin Yizhe speechless, but sat there with a red face, glaring at Lin Yizhe.

"And this 'No. 1 steamship', does Lord Zhou also want to say that it is the type of ship ordered by Zuo Gong?" Lin Yizhe saw Zhou Kaixi's embarrassed appearance, and simply began to complain about the defects of the "No. 1 steamer".

"This ship looks like a gunboat, but the engine room and cargo hold occupy almost two-thirds of the ship's interior space, and the bomb-bearing area has been greatly increased. Compared with merchant ships, the volume of cargo transported is small, and it is unable to compete with merchant ships. What is the use of such ships that are not donkeys or horses? ”

"You are presumptuous!" Zhou Kaixi was furious, slapped the table, pointed at Lin Yizhe with a halberd, and shouted, "Lin Kunyu! Do you still have Zuo Gong in your eyes? ”

"In the eyes, there is only the shipmaster of the Qing Dynasty, as for the other ......" Lin Yizhe met his gaze and replied coldly, "But I don't dare to have it." ”

"You...... It's just hubris! Zhou Kaixi's face almost became the color of pig liver, and he jumped up from the chair suddenly, but he held back for a long time, but he only said such a sentence.

"The word arrogance is also undeserved." Lin Yizhe replied unceremoniously, "If you talk about arrogance, who can compare to Zuo Gong?" ”

"You! ……”

At this time, Zhou Kaixi was panting, and he was extremely angry with Lin Yizhe, but he couldn't have an attack.

The young man in front of him is not only Shen Baozhen's nephew, but also Lin Wenzhong's grandson, and Zuo Zongtang once worshipped Lin Zexu as his teacher.

"Okay, Kunyu, don't say anything more." Shen Baozhen saw that the two of them were talking more and more stiffly, and didn't want to embarrass Zhou Kaixi too much, so he said to Lin Yizhe.

"Yes." Lin Yizhe bowed and returned to Shen Baozhen's side to serve.

What Kunyu said was for the long-term plan of the ship. At the time of the establishment of the shipyard, there was no precedent to follow, and it was common for Zuo Gong to be extremely wise and thoughtful. Shen Baozhen said warmly to Zhou Kaixi, "Zuo Gong is still like this, let alone us." It is a matter of the size of the ship, and we must be cautious and cautious. ”

Listening to Shen Baozhen's words, Zhou Kaixi sighed and stopped talking.

"Xiaotao, what do you think?" Shen Baozhen turned to Xia Xianlun and asked.

"The damage caused by this typhoon is very serious, and it is imperative to change the location." Xia Xianlun got up and replied, "As Kunyu Shicai said, the old site has been completely destroyed, and it is inevitable that it will be destroyed again if it is rebuilt. ”

"Wei Yun, what do you think?" Shen Baozhen turned to Wu Zhongxiang and asked.

"Typhoons in Fujian Province are harmful, mostly in summer and autumn, and less in winter, yesterday's typhoon is not too strong than summer typhoons, and the damage is already extremely serious, if typhoons occur frequently, the damage is bound to be more severe." Wu Zhongxiang said, "It is better to change the location as soon as possible according to Kunyu's proposal, so as not to delay the construction period." ”

Hearing that Xia Xianlun and Wu Zhongxiang all agreed with Lin Yizhe's opinion, Zhou Kaixi's face became even more ugly.

"What Wei Yun said is very true, we can't withstand the ravages of another typhoon." Shen Baozhen saw that Zhou Kaixi was about to speak out against it, waved his hand, and said in an irrefutable tone, "I have made up my mind about the change of location, and I have chosen the new site, and I can start construction after careful investigation with the French craftsmen." At Zuo Gong's place, I should repair a letter to explain the details. ”

Lin Yizhe heard that Shen Baozhen had made up his mind to change the location, but he kept silent about the pros and cons of the ship type of the "No. 1 steamship", knowing that Shen Baozhen still cared about Zuo Zongtang's face. He didn't say anything more, for him, it was not easy to move Shen Baozhen and others to move the shipyard site.

As for the "No. 1 steamship," it is not too late to correct it when its shortcomings are exposed after it is completed. Because there is a lot of leeway for the modification of the ship. Of course, he still has to do it well in advance when it comes to the preparation for the transformation. Now he has a certain draft of this, and he still needs to consult Dashbo for specific matters.

A few days later, after the foreigners completed the survey of the new site selected by Lin Yizhe and determined that it was suitable for the construction of the factory, the new factory of the shipyard broke ground.

In the suburbs, a horse rode away under the scorching sun. Judging by the attire of the rider on the horse, this is a messenger who delivers letters.

A short time later, another messenger rode away in the same direction.

Soon, after reading Zhou Kaixi's letter, Zuo Zongtang slapped the table, stood up, and kept pacing back and forth in the room.

“…… Recently, the typhoon damaged the site of the shipyard, and the Lin family had a lot of grievances, and Shen Youdan was bent on protecting him, and he was affected by the wind and cold during the disaster relief, and he was bedridden for six days. …… This son is so rebellious, he makes reckless discussions, and denigrates the voice of Zuo Gongzheng in order to seek a straight name. Thinking about it in hindsight, this son wants to make trouble by changing the address, and the planner has been for a long time, and the person who has said the sand is still unashamed, and the snares are all over the place, which can be chilling. Fortunately, what he did was easy to understand, and when the Axis Princes still had someone who could know Zuo Gong and Tin, it might be safe, but it was also dangerous. …… Tin is blunt and clumsy, the shipmaster is not the director, and the things that he has experienced in Fujian have to be unfounded worries, sideways to the world, looking around, not only the road ahead is steep, but the horse head has been trusted. Neither is it tolerated by Fujian, so he does not dare to return to his hometown, so he can only ask to temporarily enter the Zuo Gong military camp and talk about avoiding the usurpation of the Yi people......"

Zuo Zongtang turned around indignantly a few times, and gradually calmed down, he returned to the table, picked up Zhou Kaixi's letter and read it again, and groaned.

After a long time, a relative hurriedly came in and presented another letter to Zuo Zongtang.

Zuo Zongtang took the envelope and looked at it, and when he saw Shen Baozhen's name on it, he waved his hand, and then bowed down and withdrew.

Zuo Zongtang sat down, took a deep breath, opened the envelope, took out Shen Baozhen's handwritten book inside, and read it.

“…… Since his younger brother took charge of the shipyard, he has set an example and prepared carefully day and night, and the people involved did not dare to be lazy and careless. Brother Su did not like to invoke private individuals, but the shipbuilding project was very important, and he did not dare to rashly entrust it to outsiders. Shou Shan is cautious and hard-working, shouldering this heavy responsibility, and her brother is very virtuous. However, when the shipyard was first established, the river bank was sparse, and it was difficult to be prepared. Shoushan once measured the embankment of the river bank and inspected the project carefully, which was divided into three aspects: the most dangerous, the second risk, and the stability. Where the top of the slip rushes, the tender beach in front of the embankment collapses, or there is a sand spit sticking out on the opposite side, as well as the soil sand pine, and the place where it has been repeatedly built and collapsed, it is listed as the most dangerous. If the beach is narrow and close, and the river shape is still smooth, although the embankment is thin, and the soil is still strong, it is listed as the second risk. To the river beach is wide and the embankment is high and thick, it is listed as stable. Regardless of the rank, the preparation is more certain. However, this is only the current situation. …… It is the winter moon when the typhoon hits, the heavy rain is forced to harm, there are three major collapses on the riverbank, and there are many small collapses, and the severity of the damage is different. The cover is light in the upstream, heavy in the downstream, light in the branch embankment, and heavy in the main embankment. At that time, the water rose so suddenly that it was almost overflowing. Brother Tong Shoushan had previously inspected the river embankment, and the upstream embankment workers had thickened the nail piles, but they were not preserved, because the soil was too loose. ”
