Chapter 10 Classic Ship Types

Hearing Li Su's words, not only those shipwrights, but even Yan Bei and Zhao Fu looked into the box curiously, and when they saw the contents clearly, they were immediately surprised, only to see that the box was actually two extremely delicate miniature sailboats.

I saw that these two ships were no longer more than a few feet long, but the workmanship was extremely fine, and the masts, sails, ropes, etc. on them were all complete, and they looked like real big ships, and the shape of these two ships was very peculiar. Among them, Yanbei is just that, he has never seen many ships when he is so big, but Zhao Fu has been an official in Dengzhou for many years, and he has seen countless ships, but he has never seen such a strange sailing ship.

And the shipwrights who came except for Gu and Xu, after seeing the two ships, their eyes were round, and they carefully looked up and down the classic ship type in Chapter 10 several times, and then frowned and thought about something, even the two stewards of Gu and Xu were no exception, in fact, the two of them were not only the stewards of the shipyard, but also the most proficient shipbuilders in the two shipyards.

With Li Su's gesture, Wei Heizi stepped forward and took out the two ship models with both hands, and fixed them on the bookcase in front of Li Su, then turned to the peers behind him and introduced: "Everyone, please see, this is a new invention of His Royal Highness's process, first make this kind of ship model for the ship we want to build, the structure inside is the same as the real ship, and any mistakes can be modified at any time, until the ship is finalized, and then enlarged according to the proportion of the ship model, so that the ship will definitely not have a big mistake." ”

"Wonderful...... Wonderful! After listening to Wei Heizi's introduction, the ancient chief took the lead in stroking his hands and praised, he had built a ship all his life, but he never thought of this idea, although it seemed to make the shipbuilding more program, but it reduced the probability of mistakes in the future, so that it actually saved a lot of time than the original.

"Well, it's a good way, if you make the ship into a ship model in the future. Not only does it reduce the chance of mistakes, but even an ordinary shipwright can build a ship in the same way as he gets it, so that as long as there are enough people, our ship Chapter 10 classic shipyard can build more ships at the same time, instead of being like now, each ship must have a shipbuilder to guide him. "Director Xu is younger, and his brain is turning faster. An even more important benefit immediately comes to mind.

When the surrounding shipwrights heard the words of the two principals, they immediately nodded their heads, and you discussed the advantages of this ship model word by word, don't look at the fact that they were afraid in front of Li Su just now. But as soon as it came to professional knowledge, these people immediately let go, and one by one they were blushing and arguing, and threw Li Su, Yanbei, and Zhao Fu, the three high-ranking officials, aside.

Seeing the lively scene in front of him, Li Su smiled slightly, said hello to Yanbei and Zhao Fu, and the three of them quietly walked out of the room. Naturally, they are insiders to take care of it. Li Su, a layman, will not be mixed.

"Your Highness, what kind of ships are those two kinds of sailing ships, and why are they so weird?" As soon as he left the room, Zhao Fu asked a little impatiently, in fact, he was not interested in shipbuilding, but he knew a person who was dedicated to shipbuilding. That man liked the novelty of the ship the most, so he wanted to ask for it.

"Oh, those two kinds of sailing ships are called fortune ships and the other are called galen ships, and the fortune ships are hard sailing ships. The Galen, on the other hand, is a type of soft sailing ship, and both boats have their own advantages and disadvantages. It's really unclear for a while. Li Su explained with a smile that the Fu ship and the Galen ship are the two most classic types of sailing ships, one of which is the pinnacle of Chinese shipbuilding, while the other is the pinnacle of European shipbuilding.

And the reason why Li Su knows the structure of these two kinds of ships, this is thanks to the wood carving shop he opened in his previous life, he has two ship models made according to the proportion of real ships in his shop, and they can be disassembled into parts, Li Su When he is idle, he likes to disassemble the two ships, and then assemble them little by little, in order to kill time, and after he crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, he immediately realized the importance of these two ship models, so he had already made them, and let Wei Heizi eat the two ship models thoroughly.

Hearing Li Su's explanation, although Zhao Fu didn't understand it very well, he still silently remembered it in his heart. Yan Bei was very interested in shipbuilding, and took Li Su around the shipyard a few times at will, and at the same time calculated in his heart, if he also built one according to the scale of the shipyard in front of him, how much money would it cost to do it?

The reason why the discussion lasted so long was because Wei Heizi dismantled the two ship models, and at the same time introduced the characteristics and advantages of the two types of ships to everyone, and then everyone discussed, if you want to build these two new types of ships, what difficulties will there be?

"Wei Gong, how are you discussing?" Li Yu and the three of them returned to the house, sat down and asked Wei Heizi with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness Qiqi, it's similar to what the villain guessed in Chang'an, with Dengzhou's shipbuilding capacity, it is completely possible to build two ships!" Wei Heizi replied with a happy face. He estimated in Chang'an that these two new types of ships would definitely be built with the shipbuilding capacity of Datang, but because the shipbuilding capacity of various places was high and low, he was not sure whether the shipbuilding strength of Dengzhou could be built before he came to Dengzhou, so he had to discuss with the local craftsmen of the ancient master to be sure.

"Hahaha~, well, it really deserves to be my skilled craftsman in Datang!" Li Su heard the good news, laughed happily, Datang's navigation technology is still in its infancy, for example, the current navigation is only offshore sailing, and they dare not stay away from the coast at all, one of the big reasons for this is because the sea ships cannot adapt to the open sea navigation, and Li Su took out the Galen ship Fu Ship today, no matter which one is an extremely excellent ocean-going vessel, as long as it is promoted, it will definitely make Datang's development of the ocean a big step forward.

Hearing Li Su's praise, not only Wei Heizi was happy, but the ancient directors and Dengzhou shipwrights were even more excited, and they said that they would do their best to build the two kinds of ships. It happened to be almost noon, and Li Su became interested, and simply asked people to go to the city to buy some wine and food, and planned to invite these shipwrights to have a meal together, which flattered everyone even more.

When the wine and food were not bought, it happened that the workers in the shipyard outside were also eating, Li Su was curious, walked over to take a look, but found that the lunch of ordinary workers was only two black and slimy nests, the soup had meat, but it was also the cheapest sea fish in Dengzhou City, the cook chopped it and added a little salt to boil it in the pot, and the fish soup smelled even a fishy smell unique to seafood.

"The workers eat this every day?" Li Su pointed to the wooden barrel containing the fish soup and the nest of the small mountain boat next to him, and asked the two principals Gu and Xu with some dissatisfaction.

"Your Royal Highness, this kind of food is already good, the factory only cares about this meal at noon, and the usual drinks are porridge, today because Your Highness is here, so I have improved the food for the workers. In the surrounding private shipyards, the workers could not even afford to drink porridge, and were only given two nests and a bowl of white water at noon every day. Gu Chief boldly argued, although he could see that His Royal Highness King Qi was dissatisfied, but what he said was also true, in this shipyard, it was indeed their government-run shipyard that was treated the best.

"Hmm~" After listening to the words of the ancient chief, Li Su's face sank, and he looked at the workers in front of him who were lined up with a long line to lead the nest head and fish soup, and he didn't speak for a long time.

He had seen the work of these workers with his own eyes today, carrying wood, carrying heavy objects, climbing high and low, anyway, none of them were easy, such high-intensity work, but they only ate two fist-sized nests and a bowl of porridge, drinking this kind of fish soup that has no taste is considered to improve their food? This is simply impossible for an adult who does heavy work to be fed. Even Li Su saw with his own eyes that some older workers only ate one nest head, and the rest was stuffed into his arms, probably because he wanted to take it home to his children and grandchildren, which made people feel sad to think about.

Looking at the dark and thin workers in front of him, Li Su suddenly found that their complexions were even stronger than the faces of the farmers and fishermen outside Dengzhou City that he had seen last time. This discovery made Li Su's face even worse, which means that the farmers and fishermen outside the city usually eat worse than these workers.

Thinking of this, Li Su suddenly woke up, under the strong appearance of Datang, in fact, many ordinary people have not even solved the problem of eating. In fact, it is not surprising that Li Su is so hindsighted, he is the identity of the prince as soon as he crosses, and he usually comes into contact with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and occasionally he can see some poor people in Chang'an, but he has never observed it up close, so he is not deeply touched, until today he saw the food of these workers in the shipyard with his own eyes, so that he, whether in his previous life or now, has never been hungry and shocked that the original feudal society is not as beautiful as he looks.

Seeing the food of these workers, and when they invited these shipwrights to eat, and saw them gobbling up, it is estimated that even if their status is higher than that of ordinary workers, they will definitely not be much better than the workers on weekdays, otherwise they would not be so out of shape in front of him, the king of Qi.

"It seems that my plan should be hurried, if this plan is completed, not only can we solve the problem of food and clothing, but also make the people of Dengzhou richer and stronger in one fell swoop, and the follow-up plan can be better completed." Li Su said softly to himself, and at the same time looked at the civilian shipyard next to the military shipyard.

At the same time, Wang Xijun has asked people to set up a recruitment booth in Dengzhou City, and began to recruit qualified workers, this matter was also ordered by Li Su, although there was no beginning or end, and he did not tell himself what he was going to do, but since the night in the study, Xijun has a kind of blind trust in Li Su, as long as it is what he ordered, she will do it without asking the reason.
