If shipbuilding was placed a few decades ago, when Taizu was there, it was just a handicap, especially during the period of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, because the southern princes attacked each other, so the shipbuilding technology has made great progress.

It's just that since then, Emperor Taizu has forbidden the sea, and those former shipwrights have already found other ways to go in and out, and only some small-scale shipbuilding in the imperial court has saved some people's jobs.

At present, there is still craftsmanship, and the manufacturing process of various ships is also recorded in ancient books.

As for these craftsmen, they have also built some boats, but if you really want to say how good the craftsmanship is, only God knows.

As soon as they arrived, they were settled, and it was no one else who placed them, but Hao San.

Hao San's personal visit to Annan showed that the Hao family attached great importance to shipbuilding. However, when it comes to shipbuilding, the current experience is blank, and the only thing that can be relied on is silver.

That's right, the Hao family doesn't have anything, but they have money, since they have money, they naturally spend the greatest effort to recruit shipwrights, spend a lot of money, and buy ship materials, and now, the silver has been spent, and it has to be heard.

The Hao family has never traded at a loss, so if they can't see the ship, it's hard to explain up and down.

Hao San is very curious about the affairs here, and the most curious thing is the dock.

The dock here is the place where Annam built sea boats, but after the war, it was abandoned, and it is close to Hai Phong City, some distance from Hai Phong City, but it is also quiet, because there is a river directly to Thanh Hoa, and there are also tributaries, and even to Thang Long and Lang Son, so the geographical location here can be described as excellent.

The original shipwright is long gone. Therefore, it is impossible to requisition the original Annam shipwrights.

Fortunately, a lot of people came to Langshan, and these people were all Han Chinese, all of whom were rebellious Ming soldiers in the past. Since then, he has become a laborer.

Speaking of which, at first, the mood of these laborers was very unstable, and many of them tried to escape, but soon, this situation became less and less common, and they did not even need to be monitored. Very few people have absconded.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, once you abscond, you are a fugitive, and if you chase it back, you will knock your bones and peel your skin. You can't survive and you can't die. Even if he really escaped, he couldn't gain a foothold in Annan, starved and frozen, if he fled to Daming. There is a strict system of yellow books. Without guidance and registers, it is impossible to gain a foothold.

On the other hand, building bridges and paving roads, or working in the workshop, although it is hard and sweats every day, there is food and shelter, and the food is not bad, in fact, it is not much different from being an officer and soldier in the past.

All the labor. All the establishments of officers and soldiers were retained, and they were divided into hundreds or thousands of households. There are 100 households under 100 households, and under 100 households are small flags, each small flag is eleven people, and the small flag manages a production team, and then dispatches the workmanship, and the small flag comes as a supervision, and there is competition between the flags, for example, in the cloth spinning, a small flag is a blast furnace, and the qualified steel smelted every day is recorded, and the settlement is made at the end of the month, and the small flag with high output has a bounty, which is directly distributed to each laborer, and there are special grocery stores in their labor camp, whether it is books, incense and candles, cooked food, fruits, clothes, etcThe whole nine yards.

There is even a special redemption system, as long as the laborer saves a hundred taels of silver can be free, and since then it is no longer a laborer, and even can work in the workshop, of course, the salary is much higher than the labor, and the biggest attraction after the redemption is to take over the family to live, which is very attractive to the laborers.

One hundred taels of silver, even if it is a small flag where the labor is located, he strives to be upstream, and he does not pull the reward every year, and he is afraid that he will not be able to save it without seven or eight years of hard work. But for the laborers, there is a reward, but it is the motivation. In the interior of the small flag, those who grind foreign workers are often despised, because this kind of person pulls the hind legs of the entire small flag, after all, there will be a few people with wives and children in each small flag, the more here they are, the more intense this emotion is, their desire to redeem themselves is extremely strong, and this kind of person is the most energetic. Even if you are an unconcerned person, who doesn't expect a little more reward? It's better to have a reward than nothing, buy yourself a new dress, and have money in your hand to buy some fruit occasionally, all of which depend on the reward.

Therefore, anyone who prevents everyone from earning money will be squeezed out by the same flag people, and will be cleaned up by the small flag officials, some people are certainly lazy after stealing a few times, but what they suffer the most is the white eyes of everyone, and even all kinds of bullying, and the gains outweigh the losses. After a few times, everyone understood the rules and didn't dare to be lazy anymore.

These drawn laborers, all of them are strong, all of them are bronze-skinned, and their hands are full of calluses, and at first glance they are people who can do things.

After they arrived here, Hao San pulled the boatman and began to pick people.

Each shipwright can take two apprentices and use them to lay hands, which makes the shipwrights very satisfied, obviously, their specifications are the level of the master, and they can usually work briskly.

After picking the apprentices, the next step is to buy ship materials, in fact, they don't have to worry, Lang Son has already prepared. However, how to build a ship and what kind of ship to build is the most concerned issue for everyone at this time.

As before, on the Jinling side, Lord Hao sent some sketches and some letters, which contained a lot of opinions. No one dares to take Hao Daren's opinion lightly, even if it is a half-pulled boatsmith, at least the general process of this shipbuilding is known, so everyone got together and began to discuss it under the organization of Hao San.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Judging from the correspondence between various channels, the situation in Annan is still generally stable, and no one would have thought that the Hao family would become the main force in stabilizing Annan.

Because of the Hao family's business, Annan went up to the nobles and down to the ordinary people, and at this time they all began to have work, some people planted cotton, some people opened mines, and the transportation of a large number of goods inevitably repaired the official roads, and almost everyone was working hard to earn some money.

People are like this, since they can earn food and support their families by working, who has nothing to do when they are full, they have to ponder those national hatreds and family hatreds, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, but they think that they will have to work tomorrow, take care of the master's cotton, and go to the mines, and after a day of work, no matter how big the resentment is, their hearts have faded.

And for the nobles and gentry, the most important thing is the current business, the silver is real, such a good opportunity, do not take advantage of this to make a fortune, but do not go against others, not to mention how big the risk is, even if there is no risk, it makes people not interested.

Human beings are profit-seeking, and even the noblest ideals cannot resist the greed of human beings.

Hao Fenglou was very satisfied with Annan's current situation, and he rested at home for more than a month, and then began to go to Jinyiwei.

As a commander, but because he took the emperor's mission to Annan on business, this servant does not have much sense of existence, fortunately, Jinyiwei is quite polite to him, and at present, in the Beijing Division, who does not know the energy of Hao Yanshi, even if it is two fellow acquaintances, they do not want to have any disputes with Hao Fenglou, as for Ji Gang, he called Hao Fenglou a few times, and said some greetings casually.

However, Hao Fenglou estimates that Ji Gang wants to knock on the side and ask about some things about Annan, obviously the situation of Annan, the aftermath is still brewing in Beijing, and His Majesty has made a Hu Guang, who knows if Lu Dao will do anything next, Jin Yiwei is surprisingly unsmooth this year, and he is passive everywhere, which makes Ji Gang very annoyed, so now he wants to figure out what His Majesty is thinking, and then create a few unjust cases and wrong cases, and kill a few people, so as to teach His Majesty to favor him.

Hao Fenglou knew this kind of thought, but he didn't show it, he just answered carefully, and didn't show any flaws.

There has been a lot of news in the palace recently, and among these news, the shipbuilding is particularly interesting.

The Son of Heaven is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, and after pacifying Annan, it seems that he intends to go to the West. The purpose of going to the West is a matter of opinion, and it is widely circulated in the market to find Jianwen's whereabouts, but in Hao Fenglou's view, looking for Jianwen is obviously a bit exaggerated. Everyone in the world knows that Lu Dao wants to go to the Western Ocean, and most countries have heard of it, and Jianwen is not a fool, will he sit there and wait for you to get it? I'm afraid that after hearing the news, I would have already gone away.

Doing so can be said to be a great achievement, but from Hao Fenglou's point of view, this is Zhu Di's ambitious side.

In the eyes of the world, Zhu Di may just be a usurper vassal king, but in Hao Fenglou's view, usurping the throne is obviously only the first step of Zhu Di, what Zhu Di wants to do is obviously not just as simple as being an emperor, what this person thinks in his head, in a sense, is no longer understandable to ordinary people.

Ping'an South, go to the West, no matter what it is, it is not easy to say, there is not enough courage, not enough ambition, how can such an idea come up?

What Zhu Di wants is for all countries to come to the court, and what he wants is for the four seas to submit, and the more ambitious people in their chests and abdomen have one characteristic, that is, urgency.

10,000 years is too long.

There are too many facts to do, and he knows that his time is limited, so naturally, this urgent mood occupies his heart, and Annan has made a decision, and the matter of going to the West is on the agenda. And judging from the signs that Zhu Di has repeatedly convened court meetings and discussed with ministers, it is obvious that the emperor's last little patience has been exhausted.
