Chapter 367: Shipbuilding

The population of Hai Phong Port is now dominated by artisans. Thousands of shipwrights, as well as thousands of carpenters and blacksmiths who had been transferred, plus tens of thousands of laborers, all of whom were temporarily confined to the shantytowns near the docks.

The shantytowns are makeshift and somewhat like military camps, with countless truckloads carrying fresh fruits, vegetables, meat and drinking water from Haiphong every day.

At this time, because the people of Nanjing Shipyard have arrived, with their 'advanced experience', the dock is in full swing near the dock, the blast furnace has been built, the huge chimney goes straight to the sky, in addition, there are warehouses for piling up ship materials, there are iron mills, cable workshops, canvas workshops and so on.

At the dawn of dawn, everyone came out of Penghu, took the wooden sign to prove their identity, went to get breakfast, and after using it, they went to their respective craftsmen's workshops, or went directly to the dock to order, and then began to divide labor.

Since Hao San came here, he felt that the sky was dark, and his feet did not touch the ground every day.

He did have some management experience in the Purple Mountain, but soon he was now compared to this coastal defense, the experience of the Purple Mountain is really not worth mentioning, shipbuilding needs a systematic project, no link can be lost, carpenters divide the ship's wood, blacksmiths want to make rivets, iron anchors and many metal components, sail mills to make zuò canvas, cable mills to make cables, and even someone has to make lacquer and so on.

What Hao San has to do is to gather all kinds of clueless workshops, and finally twist them together to build a real sea boat.

In fact, at the beginning, in order to build a ship, a lot of useless work was done. And at the bottom, the various workshops quarrel and pass the buck to each other. It really made Hao San sweat.

The dock side was in a hurry to ask for the cable, but the cable workshop was not prepared, so the dock side was scolding, and the cable workshop was naturally full of excuses, saying that it was supposed to be made urgently, but the cable still needed to be improved, so the effort was delayed.

As for those iron mills, Hao San was speechless.

The atmosphere of this iron workshop is very similar to that of Shenwuwei. In fact, most of the craftsmen were originally transferred by the Shenwuwei Creation Bureau, and these people have a characteristic, that is, they all have a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Obviously it's just a rivet, people let you make it, you are so good to make it, but they don't, they have to think about it. How to improve this rivet, this pondering, everyone has different opinions, and they can't help but quarrel, these craftsmen reflect and ponder too much, are more real masters. Immediately divided into several factions, attacked each other, and finally the most stunned thing, a group of craftsmen with all kinds of rivets went directly to the dock, and the craftsmen of the dock were still waiting for the blacksmiths to send the rivets. Who knew they had sent four or five samples in total. Say to be real.

The shipyard craftsmen are on fire, and they let you take rivets according to the drawings, and you make all kinds of weird styles, what does this mean?

It's a pity that these craftsmen are all 'famous craftsmen', they don't make a decision, and the ordinary blacksmiths in the ironworks below don't dare to open the furnace lightly, these people tossed around in the dock, and inevitably they were noisy again, and finally reached a consensus on improvement, so they went back to ponder and made a drawing, and the ironshop began to work.

Even the little rivets are like this, not to mention the iron anchors and other more complex structures, and the shipyard craftsmen can't help but laugh and cry, and if they toss like this, when will it be the head?

In fact, they also had difficulties, and the Marquis of Haiphong also sent drawings, all kinds of ship sketches, and asked them to first shrink the ship by ten times, make a model, and then improve it according to the model.

It can be said that the entire Haiphong dockyard is extremely chaotic; on the one hand, it is not well run-in, and it is difficult to cooperate with each other, and on the other hand, there is a lack of internal opinions.

Even if it is a carpenter, originally a carpenter is only sawing wood, logically speaking, there is really no skill to speak of, but some carpenters of Shenwuwei are different, they have to study the process of various wood corroded by seawater, and even change the system of wooden planks without authorization.

Hao San has a headache, a terrible headache, in Shenwuwei, this is nothing, after all, everyone is busy with their own work, you have to quarrel, it is your internal matter, but now it is involved in the whole body, and if there is a problem in one link, every step is wrong.

Although he, the shipbuilding manager, strictly ordered his head not to discuss, but all the heads and brains of craftsmen have been imprinted with the imprint of Hao Fenglou, these people can stand out, the most important feature is that they like to drill the tip of the horns, once they feel that it is inappropriate, the nine cows can't pull back, no one can stop it, don't say it's him Hao San, even if the Marquis of Haiphong comes in person, and does not propose a plan to convince them, they will never give in.

And the craftsmen below are very convinced of these people, this blind belief comes from the usual exquisite skills of these people, as well as all kinds of whimsical ideas, these people are Luban-like storage in the eyes of ordinary craftsmen, naturally they have blind obedience, Hao San's words are not useful here. In their eyes, Hao San is the one who manages their housing and transportation and provides them with food.

But though the whole camp was chaotic, there was still a little benefit, whether it was the best of the craftsmen, or ordinary craftsmen or even apprentices, they lived here very steadily, not only did they have no worries about food and clothing, but also there was no overseer to whip them at will, in addition to consciously ordering them, they also paid for the work every day, and even allowed you to rest for two days a month.

This kind of treatment is a paradise for those who used to be craftsmen.

Besides, the atmosphere is always contagious, the old craftsmen are serious, ordinary craftsmen naturally dare not slack off, and the apprentices naturally scramble to get up, and everyone rarely sees lazy people in this atmosphere.

Hao San is now looking forward to Hao Fenglou coming over quickly, he feels that he can't hold on, there is no reason, it's strange if he is not crazy.

And at this time, Hao San's wish finally came true, and the young master came.

When the young master came, he looked dirty, the whole person was full of tiredness, as soon as he entered the camp, he slept directly all night, and got up early the next morning, Hao San came to the door to complain, and poured a lot of bitter water, which was nothing more than to reprimand those craftsmen who relied on the old and sold the old, and had to add those ordinary craftsmen who looked at the old craftsmen and horses, Hao San was not satisfied with these people, and finally said with grievances: "Young master, it can't go on like this, this shipbuilding is not iron, but it is not for them to mess around." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "They are indeed excessive, but ...... Then again, it's good to let them ponder, but you can't let them ponder, in fact, it's also a simple matter, you can separate some skilled craftsmen and old craftsmen from the ordinary workshop, and since they want to ponder, let them ponder, set up a craftsman's workshop, and invite good shipwrights, carpenters, blacksmiths, and lacquer craftsmen to go in. ”

Hao San seemed to feel a little eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Young Master is smart." ”

Gao Ming, Hao Fenglou doesn't dare to be it, this sentence is purely a slap in the face.

Immediately, Hao San remembered one thing again, and hurriedly said: "Young master, there is one more thing that has to be done quickly, we have collected the ship materials, but the problem is that this wood is mined from the mountain, and it cannot be used to build ships directly after being processed by carpenters, and the people who listen to the dock will use the wood directly for shipbuilding, and when it comes to the water, this wood will be rotten, if it is exposed to the ship materials and dehydrated, it will not be possible without two or three years of hard work, and there are still some ship materials in reserve, but it will not last long, young master......"

In fact, it is not only Haiphong that has encountered this problem, but even the shipyards of the Ministry of Industry have also encountered the problem of ship materials.

After all, the shipbuilding of the imperial court in all dynasties will not encounter this problem, after all, the shipbuilding is planned, so the shipyard will store the ship materials in advance, transport the wood from all over the place, process it, and then order people to be exposed to the sun, and then move it into a dry warehouse for storage after dehydration.

But the problem is that after Emperor Taizu ascended the throne, he claimed that the pieces of the board were not allowed to go to sea, and even the shipbuilding needs of the imperial court were greatly reduced, so the shipbuilding industry was naturally abandoned. There is no reserve, then you have to start again, the Son of Heaven has repeatedly issued orders to urge the shipyard to build ships, and the shipyard has been perfunctory again and again, it is not that these people are bold, dare to resist the will and disrespect, it is really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, to reserve ship materials, it takes at least two or three years of effort, no ship materials, is it to take the newly cut wood to build ships? If this is the case, I am afraid that the wood will rot in a few days after the boat gets out of the water.

And Hao Fenglou is facing this problem now, promising to build a ship within a year, if the matter of the ship's materials cannot be solved, then any promise is false.

Fortunately, after a moment of silence, Hao Fenglou said: "Go and call the skilled blacksmith and carpenter, I have a little way, but whether it can be done or not, I have to take one step at a time to see one step at a time." ”

Hao San didn't dare to slack off, and his steps flew away.

After a while, a group of carpenters and blacksmiths came in a hurry, Hao Fenglou invited them to sit down, ordered someone to serve tea, and did not greet them politely, but drew a sketch with a pen to show everyone, and after everyone saw it, they couldn't help but discuss.

"It's easy to put things together if you follow a sketch, but the question is whether it's useful? In fact, the villain turned over the ship, and indeed some people have used such a method, and it doesn't seem to work......"
