Chapter 165: Old Man Zu (Ask for Subscription!) Kneel and beg! )
Soon Lin Fan met this shipbuilder, this is a spirited old man, his hair and beard are all gray, and his age is estimated to be more than sixty, which is already considered a high life in this era, after all, people are rare in their seventies, sixty is already called Huajia, and seventy has to be called Gu Xi, this is an old craftsman who is close to ancient times.
For the old man's technique, Lin Fan has personally tested it, that is called Gao Ming, whether the material is suitable for building a ship, and what kind of ship is more suitable for building, go up directly to take a look, and then knock and knock for a while, you can make a very accurate judgment.
And just by hearing the sound from a distance, you can judge whether the parts processed by others are qualified or not, even if the plank is only less than a millimeter deviation, the old man can judge it with experience, this technical level is really high.
The old man's surname is Zu, and it is said that the ancestor is Zu Chongzhi, who is really a mathematician at the level of a big man.
And it is said that when Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Kingdom mobilized the power of the whole country to build treasure ships, and their family served as the chief designer, and they made great efforts back then.
It's just a pity that the ancient craftsmen didn't have any social status at all, and their lives were too hard, so they were often used when they were useful, and they were still refrigerated there when they were useless, which was still a better situation.
For example, in ancient times, craftsmen who built mausoleums for emperors and nobles, the first thing to do after the mausoleum was built was to first kill all the craftsmen involved in the construction, so the craftsmen had almost no human rights, and even the most ordinary farmers could not compare.
Although when people mention the ancient classes, most of them say that they are arranged according to the scholars, farmers, and industrialists, but in reality, the merchants have money, and most of them also collude with government officials, so the actual social status is very high, and the correct statement should be that the scholars, merchants, farmers, and workers are more appropriate.
As long as you are a craftsman, not to mention that your ancestors have made meritorious contributions to the country and built treasure ships for the country, this is all due in the eyes of the ruler, and it is not a great merit at all.
Don't say what kind of ancestor your ancestor was, after all, in the ancient dynasties of China, mathematics or something can only be regarded as unpopular, only Confucianism is the right way, so unless your ancestor is Confucius, Mencius or the like, otherwise it is really useless.
It can be seen that no matter what the situation is, any power that is dominant will have all kinds of drawbacks, and the speed of corruption will be faster than imagined, for example, the original scholars, who did not come out of the poor step by step, did not become a moth of the country in the end.
Don't talk about these, let's talk about the current situation of the ancestral family, now the basic national policy of the Ming Kingdom, that is a closed country, the blow to the ship manufacturing industry can be imagined, the old man's family is about to be unable to open the pot, the whole family is hundreds, at this time all are waiting to be fed, no wonder the old man is close to seventy years old, he still has to come to see Lin Fan in person, it is really too important to Lin Fan's solicitation.
Of course, Lin Fan is also playing the Li family's signboard, which has such a good solicitation effect, after all, the reputation of the Li family for more than a hundred years is more effective than the golden signboard, otherwise if you come to the random person and want to solicit, you see if the old man will let you into the house, and it is already very polite not to drive you out.
Of course, Lin Fan still appreciates and welcomes a treasure like the old man, not to mention that the ancestral family is up and down, there are hundreds of skilled shipbuilders, this is a good thing that Lin Fan dreams of, and suddenly there is a happy feeling of being hit by a pie.
Now Lin Fan, as the head of the Li family, is called the old man Bi Gong Bijing, especially when he heard that Lin Fan intends to vigorously support and develop the shipbuilding industry, and intends to promote and reuse their family, the old man who was in tears on the spot knelt down there directly, and Lin Fan was so frightened that he quickly helped the old man up.
Even if Lin Fan is now a self-proclaimed god, he can't let such a young man kneel, if he kneels well, it will be his sin.
After arranging the grandfather, it was quickly decided to add the ancestral family to the next batch of migration lists.
This time, the ancestral family will be split into two parts, in which the main descendants will follow Lin Fan to the new world and build a beautiful new home together.
And the rest of the people, especially those old people in the family, who can't afford to travel long distances, let them stay on the Li family's territory, and they can secretly build a small shipyard to repair the Li family's private fleet.
For Lin Fan's planning, the old man Zu did not have any opinions, the only thing that disagreed was that he stubbornly insisted on going with the descendants, after all, he was the current head of the family, and he was the person with the highest shipbuilding technology in the family, he was afraid that those little rabbit cubs were not skilled enough and lived up to Lin Fan's ardent expectations.
What can Lin Fan do about this, the old man is too stubborn, no matter how much Lin Fan persuades, it is useless, in the end he can only agree to take him with him, but give him a preventive shot in advance, no matter how shocking things you see at that time, don't be too surprised.
To tell the truth, every time he moves the population, Lin Fan will definitely show some miracles, which is the standard process he has set for himself, and it is also to strengthen his rule.
It's just that because the scene is too grand, Lin Fan is worried about frightening the elderly, so he basically never takes the elderly with him, for fear that if he doesn't take care of him, it won't be good if there is any mess.
However, since Old Man Zu had to go, and he also had enough value and reason, Lin Fan didn't mind making an exception for him.
After all, the old man is a treasure, Lin Fan wants to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry and the navigation industry, which is inseparable from his full support, as long as the old man does his best to do research, at least he can save Lin Fan a full ten years of exploration and development time.
I'm afraid that there will be an accident with the elderly, which actually means that there are too many old people, and we can't keep busy with eight hundred children, and we can't watch three or five?
Since the old man has to leave by himself, then let's not say much, help him prepare the quick-acting heart pill in advance, and then send his right-hand men to follow and take care of him 24 hours a day, so as to ensure that no problems will happen, even if he is too emotional and someone has a sudden heart attack, he can also ensure that he will be rescued in time, and maybe he can brush up another wave of prestige for Lin Fan by the way!
………………………………
In this way, another seven days have passed, and the second batch of migrated population has been completely prepared, and the old man Zu took the descendants of his family to board the best main flagship of the Li family in high spirits, quite a bit of an old man chatting about the posture of a teenager.
This time, in order to repay Lin Fan's kindness, even if the journey was tiring and the sea was bumpy for several months, the old man did not hesitate, and even he was ready for the worst plan to die on the way.
It's just that the old man didn't expect that it was only less than four or five hours later, and the fleet was moored in the vast sea, and then Lin Fan made his debut again, and the amiable Lin Fan family master at the beginning has now become a living immortal!
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately knelt on the ground excitedly, and said with emotion on his face: "Great! O living immortals! Ancestors bless! It turned out that it was really a god descending from heaven! No wonder they will take such care of us, it turns out that the gods are really blessing us, now the ancestral family can be regarded as having a way out, this time the old man I can be regarded as betting right, and in the future, I will finally have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors at home. ”
