Chapter 108: Can This Broken Shipyard Build a Big Ship in Ten Days?
Under the guidance of passers-by, Zhu Yuanzhang and the three came to another wharf.
The dock was noticeably smaller than the one before, and it was filled with brand-new ships that looked as if they had just been built.
This brand-new ship has a very peculiar shape, like a turtle, far from the unique fortune boat of the Ming Dynasty, and it looks tall.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled, he heard Zhu Biao pointing to a tall fence not far from the pier and said:
"Father, look at the words on it, it seems to say Royal Longjiang Treasure Shipyard."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked in the direction, and it turned out that these words were really written on the tall wall.
"Royal?"
Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his bewilderment, when did he Zhu Yuanzhang open another shipyard?
Queen Ma didn't care what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, she walked over there quickly.
After Zhu Yuanzhang got closer, he saw the building in front of him more clearly.
It's a building surrounded on all sides by tall walls, and it's impossible to see what's inside or what it's doing.
But judging from the area enclosed by this wall, the shipyard here should be huge, twice as large as the Longjiang shipyard in Yingtian.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around, but didn't find any clues, so he planned to ask Zhu Biao and others where the entrance to this shipyard was.
As a result, before anyone could be found, I saw Li Jin with a few people dressed as craftsmen, smiling out of a side door of the Longjiang Shipyard.
After Li Jin saw Queen Ma, he was suddenly stunned, and then said with a smile:
"Madam, you're finally here, our shipyard is waiting for you to cut the ribbon!"
Queen Ma was full of doubts and said:
"We only have a fence here, not even a signboard, who are we going to show the ribbon cutting?"
"Madame doesn't know, now the imperial court is strictly controlled, and the matter of not letting us build ships and go to sea is spread."
Li Jin explained in a whisper, and said with a mysterious face:
"Our ribbon cutting is just an internal ribbon cutting, we just need our insiders to know."
"I called Mrs. here this time, just to tell Mrs. that our port and shipyard have opened and are ready to make money."
Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Li Jin's confidential work was okay next to him, and he immediately said with some joy:
"You kid is finally smart, the last time something in Yingtian City was leaked, it almost killed you."
Li Jin laughed twice and said:
"Eat a trench and grow a wisdom!"
"Let's go in with the official and have a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took the lead and walked into the so-called treasure shipyard.
As a result, when I entered, I saw a small gate with two guards at the door.
Li Jin led a few people through the four gates, and Zhu Yuanzhang could only hear movement inside.
When the fifth gate opened, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his eyes suddenly became clear.
What appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at this moment was a huge shipyard, and the reason why he was big was because there were eighteen shipbuilding tanks in it.
Compared with the Longjiang Shipyard in Yingtian, it is fully doubled.
Correspondingly, the size of the shipyard will naturally be doubled.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the whole picture of the entire shipyard, he found that there were no less than 10,000 craftsmen here.
In other words, all the craftsmen that Li Jin borrowed from the Ministry of Industry were stuffed into this place.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became a little angry.
The craftsman who built the mausoleum for himself was actually used by this dog thing to build ships.
Just to break the ship in a few days, and even took over the craftsmen of the entire Ministry of Industry, which is simply a knife for killing chickens.
You must know that the craftsmen used by Zhu Yuanzhang are all the top people in the country.
Originally, I wanted to build the mausoleum of myself and Queen Ma majestic, so that I could enjoy glory and wealth after death.
As a result, it seems that it is all cheap now.
Li Jin didn't care whether Zhu Yuanzhang was angry or not, he diligently took Queen Ma and began to walk around the shipyard and began to introduce.
"This is the test tank, in order to avoid the ship being built and capsizing, and the time is delayed."
"Our shipyard has designed a small tank like this, and after the design of the boat is completed, the model must be built to scale."
"After the model has been successfully piloted in the test tank, it will be put into the production line for production."
"This is our production line, also known as the assembly line."
"Our boats are manufactured in strict accordance with the specifications, whether it is the keel or the sail, there are precise requirements, in order to be able to achieve assembly line production."
"There are tens of thousands of craftsmen here, with a total of nine full-chain production lines, and the production line can complete the manufacture of all the parts and components of a ship every ten days."
"In other words, at the fastest speed of production, we can produce a ship in ten days."
Li Jin was talking eloquently in front, although Queen Ma didn't understand, but the matter was unclear.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Jin's more and more outrageous it became, and even Zhu Yuanzhang felt that producing a big boat in ten days was pure nonsense.
When he Zhu Yuanzhang never built a ship? Presumably, this Li Jin fooled Queen Ma like this, and willingly took out five million taels of silver.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had to stand up and say something, otherwise Queen Ma and the others would definitely be fooled again.
"Li Jin, you just said the assembly line, what is that? How come we've never heard of it? ”
"Are you here again, thinking that we haven't built a ship, and you don't understand this, so you want to lie to us?"
After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang also deliberately looked at Queen Ma, but in exchange for Queen Ma's eyes.
Li Jin heard the words and said:
"I don't understand the assembly line, I can take you in to have a look, and when you see it, you will understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind Li Jin, arrogant, this time, he had to expose Li Jin's deception and let Li Jin return the silver.
Seeing that Queen Ma was still a little dissatisfied, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.
He did this for Queen Ma, and he didn't want to see him deceived.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was about to open his mouth to say a few words to Queen Ma, he heard Li Jin say:
"It's here!"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that he would arrive so soon, and he thought that Li Jin would choose to delay time.
But now that he has arrived, then he has to stab Li Jin hard and save the dignity of a man.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was full of confidence, strode into the workshop with his head held high, but the moment he entered the workshop, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent in an instant!
