Chapter 19 Shipbuilding

This year is not as bleak as the eldest grandson imagined, and there are still quite a lot of people.

This is because Changsun Tang gathered together all the craftsmen who could not return home, and these were shipbuilders he sent to invite from Hongzhou, Raozhou and other places.

They have been responsible for handling the wood collected by Changsun Tang, so the question is, what does Changsun Tang want so much wood for?

Shipbuilding. Here's the answer.

Shipbuilding in ancient times was far more troublesome than in later generations, and first of all, this material was difficult to get as soon as it was passed.

The logs are peeled and soaked in water for months before they can be made into wood......

It takes years of hard work just to process the wood, but although Gangneung Castle is not a shipbuilding powerhouse, it also has a small shipyard, and although the flood has washed away the equipment and everything, the people are still there.

As for the purpose of shipbuilding, of course, it was to go to sea.

In fact, the meaning of the ocean is something that few people can understand. Britain and Japan are authentic maritime countries, and China's ocean area and coastline are longer than these two countries, but China is an authentic continental country.

These are two very different ways of thinking. Continental countries must go through a third country to establish contact with countries that do not directly border each other, whereas theoretically, as long as there is even one kilometer of coastline, it can be connected to any country with a coastline.

These are still a little early for the current eldest grandson, and his main purpose of shipbuilding is twofold: one is seeds, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn seeds; The second is rubber.

The seeds are a bit far away, but the current grain in Datang is still enough, and it will be enough to get it back within twenty years; But this rubber has a lot to do with it.

These are all the thoughts of the eldest grandson, but these can't be said directly now.

During the Tang Dynasty, the prescribed holiday was seven days, but after all, this was only a rule.

The yamen of the Governor's Mansion and the Yamen of Gangneung County basically started working normally after the second day of February, which is also a relatively important day.

In the fragmented thoughts of the eldest grandson, Wu Yuanqing finally came to the door.

Wu Yuanqing didn't want to come, this eldest grandson is a good person, but he is too capable of tossing, he knows his future, it would be good to be able to downgrade the title of Duke Yingguo to a marquis, those things in the officialdom are not something that he can play with. But under the strict orders of the samurai, under the threat of his two sisters, he had to come to serve with great reluctance.

In fact, this shipbuilding is a technical job, with its own set, and even Changsun Tang wanted to make a few constructive suggestions and was laughed at.

Here's what it looked like.

"Master Huang, I don't know how this ship was built, and I don't care, but I have a few requirements." This eldest grandson originally planned to directly call these craftsmen a certain worker, but he had already begun to implement a hierarchical system, and different craftsmen corresponded to different ranks, and this master craftsman was the chief engineer of shipbuilding. Originally, Changsun Tang wanted to be called "Huang Gong's" directly, but this title was too loud, so he could only be called Master Craftsman.

"Childe, please." This Huang master is a shipbuilding family from Hongzhou, and he knows everything about shipbuilding.

"You can just look at the rest, this ship must be designed in the form of a watertight cabin." Based on the experience of later generations, the eldest grandson knew that the design of the watertight cabin played a crucial role in the safety of the people on board.

"Dare to ask what is a watertight cabin?" This Huang Dajiang looked confused.

"It is to design the ship as an independent cabin, and one or more cabins are flooded, which will not cause any major problems for the ship. Got it? "Proper dressing is good for health, not to mention that this kind of opportunity to pretend in front of professionals is rare.

Huang Dajiang and the others looked at each other, but the eldest grandson did not wait for the imaginary scene of lifting the dark clouds and seeing the sunrise.

"But the bulkhead design? We've always built big ships like this, and the boats we've come here this time are all designed like this. One of Huang Dajiang's apprentices said cautiously.

"Huh?" The eldest grandson was embarrassed this time, and this kind of thing actually put himself in an oolong.

"Then don't take me to see it, a few masters are busy, you can just take me over." The eldest grandson realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't hold on to it, so he found an excuse to leave first.

"This baby is not bad, but this heart is a little insufficient!" As soon as he stepped out of the door, he was stabbed by someone. Alas, this unlucky one is rushing to make people scold for lacking heart!

This apprentice is also surnamed Huang, but he is an orphan taken in by Master Huang, and he changed his surname to Huang without knowing his surname.

After a circle, the eldest grandson patted the bulkhead and looked at the water gate, everything was actually better than he thought. It seems that the day is not far off when this big ship will go to sea.

The eldest grandson walked away in a gloomy manner, without greeting the craftsmen as usual, his cheeks still need to continue to exercise, how should such a thin cheek deal with the next group of officialdom old oilmen whose cheeks are thicker than the length of the Great Wall? We can now observe a moment of silence for the misfortune of the eldest grandson in officialdom in the near future.

When the angry eldest grandson was angry, he met Wu Yuanqing who came over, and it can be regarded as this Wu Yuanqing who didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out (although there was no such thing at this time), and being caught by the eldest grandson was a loss, and the loss almost made Wu Yuanqing begin to doubt his life. The process is as follows:

"It's coming."

"Hmm." Wu Yuanqing picked up the tea that Changsun Tang had just brewed and poured it violently, which was the sound that came out of his nose, and he almost didn't choke.

"Is it interesting for you to be so vocal all day long?"

"Yes, our brothers also hunted a muntjac yesterday and roasted it with the peppers you gave and ate it, that's called a ......" was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"You're wasting your time, you're wasting your life, you're devoting your limited time to infinite play, you are the equivalent of chronic suicide, you know?"

"Is it that serious?" This is already beginning to doubt life.

"Don't you think?" Fooling people depends on a full set, especially this kind of teenager at the level and age of the second grade of junior high school, if he is fooled, it is generally difficult for him to escape by himself.

"Is there really one?" Suspicion plus fifty.

"Poof." The eldest grandson really can't hold it back, there is always a limit to this joke. If you keep staring at someone, you can be nervous, even if there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, this eldest grandson invited Wu Yuanqing to come over not to tease him, but to give him important things to do.
