"Brother Ping, let me ask you about Lao Qian, how is it?" This was five or six days later, Gao Buer took Zhang Zhongping on the way to Gaojiazhuang. Gao Buer hadn't been out before, because the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon, and he was at home with Su Xiaoxiao to practice songs.

"There are one or two in Langzhong, and there is an old man who can be a fishing boat, I don't know if it is suitable or not, there are many handicraft craftsmen."

"Let's go check it out."

When he came to the Zhuangzi, the money steward from afar greeted him: "The owner of the village is here." ”

"How's it going, Uncle Qian, how are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, my body is tough, and now the local government has begun to make a register of the level of displaced people, and the number of people who come to settle in Zhuangzi is slowly decreasing, and now the capital is stable at about 800 households, with a population of 3,000 people."

"Oh, it's a big Zhuangzi, it's not enough to just farm the land if there are more people, do you have any good suggestions?"

"I counted that there are about 700 households that can support their families by handicraft, and other 100 households can go to the aloe vera planting base to help." The aloe vera planting base is the new name that Gao Fuji gave to the aloe vera plantation in Gaojiazhuang.

"Well, this arrangement is also appropriate, but yes, in order for us to have a better life, I am going to build a shipyard on the edge of the Qiantang River, specializing in the production of that kind of tall sea boats, and I find that there is a lot of room for improvement in the big ships that come and go on the river."

"The owner still knows the craft of building a giant boat?"

What are you talking about, buddy is also a great science and engineering man in the 21st century. Gao Buer gave him a mysterious smile and arranged: "You go back to the local government, buy a private wharf on the edge of the Qiantang River, and then buy a vacant land near the wharf, and you call the Lu carpenter, other carpenters, blacksmiths, boatwives, and weavers to the Zhuangzi Central Square, I have something to arrange." ”

Steward Qian took the order and hurried away.

Gao Buer took Zhang Zhongping to the square first to wait, this square was specially built by Gao Buer, there are more than 2,000 square meters, all the houses on the Zhuangzi are built around the square, and the sound wave spreads out in a circle.

Zhuangzi on the road like a spider web, all paved with bluestone slabs, in the north of the square there is a sitting north facing south covers an area of more than 10 acres of three into the house, this is Gao Buer for his own built Zhuangyuan, has been completed, Gao Buer and Su Xiaoxiao discussed the plan to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival officially occupied.

After waiting for a stick of incense time, I saw the villagers coming from all directions, waiting for everyone to arrive, Gao Buer took a stack of paper from Zhang Zhongping, and sent it to everyone according to different categories such as carpentry, casting, and weaving, so that everyone could take a look at it first, and then he would explain.

Carpenter Lu looked at it for a long time, and said in an uncertain tone: "Owner, this seems to be the structure of a ship, but this ship is so weird." ”

Of course, it is weird, this is the famous three-masted sailing ship in the future, this kind of ship is a shuttle streamlined, has three masts, can use the wind within a 65-degree angle to travel quickly, can carry a large number of necessities of life, can stay at sea for months in a row, and can even sail around the earth, not the current kind of bulky barge can be compared, equipped with weapons that is a warship, in the case of steel giants, who competes.

Gao Buer smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is a sea boat, we are near the river, not far from the sea, after my visit these days, I found that the sea ship on the river is not strong, it is really difficult to load a lot of goods to travel far, so I thought about seeing if I could improve it, so I made these pictures, today I called everyone to come, is to tell you that now our big family has a large population, only rely on aloe vera to get rich, it seems to be insufficient." ”

After a pause, Gao Buer continued: "I plan to build a shipyard by the river to produce this kind of ship, with such a shipyard, it will not be a problem for all of us to live in the future, I will not only pay you monthly wages, but also give you dividends in proportion, how about it?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were excited, they were craftsmen, and they could naturally roughly estimate how objective the profit of such a ship would be once it was successfully built, and they all disagreed.

Gao Buer called Carpenter Lu and Steward Qian to him and said: "Master Lu, you will be responsible for the shipbuilding, you will first make a model according to the drawings, and if there is any problem, we will modify it, can you?" ”

"Thank you for your trust, wrap it up on me."

"Okay, pay attention to confidentiality, you organize everyone to manage the same according to the division of labor, and then select a team leader to be responsible for each division of labor, and set up a complete assembly line to prepare for the official construction later.

"Please rest assured."

"Okay, I hope we succeed right away." After that, he encouraged everyone a few words, and asked Carpenter Lu to take everyone to prepare for themselves.

Everyone dispersed, and Gao Buer handed Steward Qian a drawing, which was a structural diagram of a small Hongyi cannon, which was used with the sea boat, and instructed: "Uncle Qian, you take this picture to the blacksmith, let them use copper and iron alloys, and cast one or two of this thing first, don't be stingy with money, I have a lot of use, remember to keep it secret." ”

Steward Qian said: "Please rest assured." ”

After everyone left, Gao Buer stood in the square and looked at the Qiantang River, and then thought of the sea full of wealth like stars.

Since the development of the ocean in this era is still in its infancy, and people's understanding of the ocean is still in the awe period, Gao Fuji is convinced that after the three-masted sailing ship and the Hongyi cannon are manufactured, the development of the ocean will enter a blowout period, and maybe he will have the absolute right to speak in the ocean in 30 years.
