That night, the county seat of Jin'an became a 'city that never sleeps', but fortunately, everyone sent the mother-in-law to Shuiliu on time the next day.

No one chooses to be late to be the chicken that kills the monkey.

Wen Yi is very pleased, he has been emphasizing discipline since the day the team was first established, and it seems that this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Considering that leaving so many people in Jin'an County is a waste of food and manpower, and it is easy to bring chaos in management,

The key is that it will slow down the construction of Langhu Lake, and Wenyi decided to send some of it back to Langhu Lake first.

After consulting with Mo Jun and others, it was decided to leave only 1,000 regular troops, and the rest, including those slang women, were taken back to Langhu by Chai Ben and his wife.

They also brought back an order to transfer Xue Dayuan to Jin'an County.

Xue Dayuan is Wenyi's most trusted confidant, Jin'an County will be the bridgehead, and only when he presides over the overall situation can Wenyi rest assured.

After they set off to leave, Wen Yi went to the residence of the slang captives to take a look.

They are working hard to build huts, which are for their own living, so they work very hard.

He went around here for a while and left, and had just walked a short distance when he suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"By the way, Ning Huai and Tan are really alive, right?"

Daniel Zhang said: "Yes, he and their cronies are still in prison." ”

Wen Yi said: "Let Wu Yi inform all the slang tribe leaders in Jin'an County that they will be punished in seven days, and the rebellious thief Ning Huai and Tan Zhen will let them come to watch the punishment, and if they don't come, they will be regarded as rebellion." ”

"Yes."

Next, Wen Yi went to the shipyard again and found He Fang.

"This shipyard has been built for 100 years, and now there are 17 craftsmen and 50 helpers, who usually mainly build fishing boats."

Wen Yi looked at this shipyard, which was more like a small workshop, and felt that he had a long way to go: "Can you build big ships and warships?" ”

He Fang said: "There is an old craftsman in the shipyard who once participated in the construction of the ten-zhang warship. ”

Ten zhang is more than 30 meters, which can already be regarded as a big ship. Or a warship with a stricter and more complex craft, talent.

"People, please come and see me."

Soon an old man was brought to him, looking to be fifty or sixty years old, and he could tell from his face how much suffering he had experienced.

After seeing Wen Yi, the old man was very excited, and he knelt down and said, "Little Lao'er kowtowed to Wen Langjun, thank you Wen Langjun for avenging my daughter." ”

He Fang explained on the side: "His name is Mei Laoshi, his daughter was ruined by Cai Qun and jumped into the river and died, the eldest son was also killed when he went to take revenge, and his mother-in-law died within a few years after crying blind." ”

He survived by hiding with his youngest son...... When Cai Qun was tried in public, he was the first to complain. ”

Wen Yi was very surprised, he remembered very well that the old man who was the first to go up to sue that day bit off a piece of meat from Cai Qun's face alive and ate it on the spot.

It was because of his stimulus that the people went crazy and ate Cai Qun alive.

At that time, he also said that this old man had blood and bravery, but he didn't expect it to be the rickety old man in front of him, who was really unseemly.

Hurriedly helped him up: "Mei Lao, please get up, this is what I should do." I only hate that I came too late and didn't kill Cai Qun's dog thieves earlier. ”

Mei honestly cried and said: "Wen Langjun, don't say that, if it weren't for your old man, I wouldn't be able to take revenge in my life." A few days ago, my poor daughter gave me a dream to repay you for your kindness. ”

He Fang said on the side: "Now there is an opportunity to repay the favor, the lord wants to expand the shipyard to build a big ship, and you need to teach everyone the skills of shipbuilding." ”

Mei honestly said without hesitation: "Okay, isn't it just a little shipbuilding skills, even if it costs my life." ”

Wen Yi was also very happy, but he was not willing to blackmail Entu, and said: "You are the person with the best craftsmanship in the shipyard, and you will be the technical director from today on." ”

"The technical director is that all the craftsmen are in charge of you, and all the ships are built up to you...... By the way, how much is your salary? ”

He Fang said embarrassedly: "They work here, and they only take care of food, but they don't have money." ”

Wen Yi sighed in his heart, the status of ancient craftsmen is really low. This must be done, starting now:

"How can there be any reason to let the horses run and not let the horses eat grass? Starting today, we will give you a stipend. ”

"The technical director gives five grains per month, ordinary craftsmen give three grains, and helpers give one per month. Tell all the craftsmen that they will reward five hundred rice for each qualified craftsman they have trained. ”

Mei Laoshi knelt on the ground again: "Xie Wenlangjun...... No, thank you, thank you. ”

The craftsmen and helpers around who were still envious of Mei Honest were also overjoyed, and knelt down together and said, "Thank you, thank you, lord." ”

Wen Yi said: "Everyone get up, building a good ship in the future is the best reward for me." ”

To appease everyone, Wen Yi called Mei Laoshi and the other sixteen craftsmen together and asked them to talk about the types of ships that could be built.

He had a general idea of the skills of these people and where to improve.

In his previous life, he had also read some historical materials on the development of shipbuilding and had a general understanding of China's shipbuilding development.

At present, the largest boats that this group of craftsmen can build are about ten zhang, but they are all flat-bottomed boats, which are suitable for sailing inland rivers and lakes.

What Wen Yi needed was a ship that could go to sea, so he put forward the concept of a 'curved bottom' sea ship in later generations and let them try to build it.

The sails have also been renovated, and the sails can only go with the wind, and the wind from other directions cannot be borrowed.

In the Song Dynasty, a new type of sail was invented, which could achieve 'the wind from all directions, but the head was not feasible'.

As the name suggests, it is an epoch-making invention that can borrow winds from other directions except for headwinds.

There are also pulleys and gantry cranes that seem to have little to do with shipbuilding......

As the so-called layman looks at the lively insider's doorway, those present are all knowledgeable, how can they not see the subtlety of these improvements.

All regard the text as easy as a heavenly person.

Originally, some craftsmen were dissatisfied with Wenyi for letting them teach their skills to others.

Now they have put away this kind of thought, and their skills are not worth mentioning compared to Wen Yi's guidance.

After spitting out all the knowledge about shipbuilding in his stomach, Wen Yi left the craftsman to ponder how to achieve it, and he called He Fang aside and said:

"We have to expand the shipyard as much as we can. We did our best to train craftsmen and stockpiled a large number of shipbuilding materials......"

"The navy army should also be formed as soon as possible, and the scale of the tentative battalion will be one battalion, and you will be personally responsible for it."

"Train more naval generals, I know that the art of naval warfare is your family heirloom, and it is not in vain to ask for you. Thirty-six tricks you should have heard, I used it in exchange. ”

"Yes, Moubi will do his best not to let you down." He Fang said solemnly.

He had naturally heard of the thirty-six strategies, although he didn't know the specific content, but it was definitely more advanced than the art of naval warfare he mastered, and he made a lot of money in this exchange.

Wen Yi asked again, "Do you know Yizhou Island?" ”
