When Wei Dayong sent the first batch of craftsmen recruited from Quanzhou Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Mu ended his leisurely life and began his busy work, which was to carry out a major transformation of the coastline.

Let the craftsmen who came to divide a part and lead the laborers to clean up the cliff heights of the natural deep-water port, so that it can become a real port where ships can dock.

At this time, in order not to delay the transformation of the port, the Muhai had already left the port and anchored in the sea far from the offshore.

At the same time, Li Mu also instructed some of these craftsmen who knew how to build ships to find a suitable place for shipbuilding next to this natural port to be used as a manufacturing base for future sea ships.

In this way, the shipyard and the port are together, and the problem of having no place to dock after the sea ships are launched in the future are also solved.

In addition to these things, Li Mu had to choose a place not far from the coastline where the intensity of sunlight was good enough to accept the longest amount of sunlight for a day.

The soil is tamped by hand, and then the land is leveled.

After leveling, Li Mu had to start personally, because the Datang masons didn't know how to use cement at all, and they didn't know that the most basic ratio of cement and sand was one to three. (What is the specific name of the craftsman, the author Jun does not understand, please forgive.) ）

Not to mention how to calender and smooth the cement.

Fortunately, Li Mu didn't know, but fortunately, when Li Mu came to Datang, he had learned about this aspect and had watched basic teaching videos.

It's probably okay to imitate one.

A small pile of reconciled cement was placed on the rammed ground, and Li Mu took a shovel and bulldozed the pile of cement in front of him.

Then use a large wooden trowel to basically level, and then it is a meticulous work, that is, to level and calender the cement, you need to use an iron trowel.

After demonstrating this series of action specifications to a few masons around him, Li Mu handed the guy in his hand to a mason beside him.

"How? How many masters? There is no learning. Li Mu pointed to this large piece of compacted land and said: "When you get it, in the initial leveling, you can use wood to make a long push board, bulldoze a large area of cement at one time, and then use this trowel in your hand to level and calender little by little." ”

"Back to the lord, we all know it, but this is just getting started, it is inevitable that it is a little too rusty, and I hope the lord will not be surprised."

The mason who took over the iron trowel in Li Mu's hand also knew in the past few days that this lord's temper was an approachable nobleman, so he said what he was worried about.

Otherwise, as a craftsman, he would not have the courage to say so.

The mason seemed to say what all the craftsmen present thought, and they all nodded in agreement.

In the past few days, Li Mu has also met a lot of craftsmen, and the mason in front of him who is talking is the one he is familiar with, otherwise he would not have handed over the tools in his hand.

However, Li Mu is not the kind of strict and unreasonable person, and he understands the worries of these craftsmen, so he smiled and comforted: "Craftsman Zhang, don't worry, as for how you are not familiar with how to use this cement in the early stage, this lord knows, after all, anyone must have a process of accepting new things, which I understand." ”

"Lord Xie is considerate." Hearing Li Mu's words, the craftsmen present said happily.

"Okay, you guys are busy, I won't make trouble for you here." After comforting these craftsmen, Li Mu planned to leave this dusty place.

He came here just because these craftsmen in Datang didn't know how to use cement, and he needed to demonstrate, and Li Mu naturally had to leave after the demonstration.

He is not a craftsman, so there is no need to stay here and teach them to do the work.

As for whether these craftsmen will be lazy after he leaves, Li Mu believes that these craftsmen in Datang will not have the phenomenon of nest workers like modern people.

The ancient craftsman was actually a traditional person who paid the most attention to the rules, the rules were greater than the sky, and he was also the most moral group of people.

At least Li Mu has not found out so far that these craftsmen under him have the imagination of nest workers being idle, and as for the slow work, it is also because they have just come into contact with new things, and they are not suitable for use, and they are not easy to use.

In addition to instructing the craftsmen on how to use cement, Li Mu also told the craftsmen some characteristics of cement, that is, they must use up the reconciled cement in a certain period of time, otherwise it will solidify, and then it will never be used again.

During this time, Li Mu traveled back and forth in the port, shipyard, and sea salt drying site.

After solving the cement problem, he can put down this place for a while, after all, it will take a few days to lay the tamped ground with cement.

In addition, after paving cement, it cannot be used directly, because it is only a flat surface and cannot achieve the role of water storage.

It is also necessary to build a circle of masonry around it, divide this large area of cement into several pools in different functional areas, and then smear cement to make several low cement pools that can hold things.

After the pond is made, it is at least until the cement is dry, and after a few days of maintenance, it can be officially put into use, and seawater is introduced to dry the sea salt.

After solving the problem of Haiyan foundation land, Li Mu began to care about the work of the shipyard.

Shipbuilding base, no need for Li Mu to care, Datang is familiar with how to build a manufacturing sea ship base, he only needs to combine modern concepts, put forward some improvements to Datang's inherent technology.

Li Mu is concerned about how to make the style of the sea ship, as well as the most important structure in it.

The reason is that the shipwrights of the Tang Dynasty did not know about the keel, which Li Mu also knew, and the use of keels in ancient China had to wait until the Song Dynasty.

It was only at the beginning of the nineteenth century that the keel began to be put into practical use in Europe.

This can also be understood why Datang shipping or the Maritime Silk Road is underdeveloped, and sea ships without keels basically can't go out to sea.

It can only be walked around the continental shelf.

The Song Dynasty Maritime Silk Road was so prosperous, in addition to the fact that the Silk Road was cut off on the road, there was also an important reason for the invention of the keel.

Let the sea ships have the ability to sail on the sea for a long time, plus the more goods carried by SH, can bring more benefits to the merchants, under the guidance of money, the Song Dynasty Maritime Silk Road is more and more prosperous.

And Li Musuo wants to pay attention to the purpose of the shipyard, on this keel, he wants to explain the importance of the keel, combined with the ships he needs to let these shipbuilders build, carefully explain.

Li Mu couldn't help but care, because in addition to the merchant ships that transported goods, there were also the warships he needed.

These ships are carrying human lives, although Li Mu doesn't care about human lives, but it is better not to die if he can avoid the dead, plus he needs some of these ships to plunder wealth for him.

We can't let these ships go wrong, otherwise, the built ships will fall apart by themselves not long after they go out, and how embarrassing it will be.
