Cangzhou Shipyard.

When Wang Jin and his party left from several docks, it was already dusk. Three or five brand-new ships came from afar and anchored in the harbor. Under the hospitality of the person in charge, Lao Liu, the host drank tea and rested to negotiate business.

Wang Jin watched the process of forming thousands of sea ships, basically understood the situation, and knew it in his heart. I decided to make a purchase, but I had an idea.

Although he did not know how to build a ship, he looked at it from his point of view. The Song Dynasty ships were too heavy, the draft was deep, and the carrying capacity was unsatisfactory. For example, a magnolia boat more than 20 zhang long and like a behemoth can only carry 20,000 materials, which is 1,200 tons.

However, during the Ming Dynasty, the carrying capacity of the same type of ship was five or six thousand tons. Zheng Hebao's ship has a carrying capacity of more than 10,000 tons in history, and its displacement is comparable to that of an aircraft carrier.

The reason for this is mainly due to the different ship architectures and technical differences. Ships during the Song Dynasty did not yet use the more advanced mortise and tenon riveting process. In order to cope with the harsh environment at sea, the deck and cabin are generally shaped to be thicker, so the carrying capacity is relatively poor. The space is narrow, the big one can't be put down, and the small one is redundant, which affects the actual carrying capacity.

It is said that the caravan carried a caravan on a long voyage in proportion to the number of people carried at a time, and even if there was enough space, it would not be carried blindly. Avoid encountering too much wind and waves, when the hull cannot withstand it, resulting in cracking and leakage.

Wang Jin knew more about the structure of ships in later generations and learned from them, such as expanding the space to enhance buoyancy, drilling threaded holes, riveting techniques, and even more so knowing the mortise and tenon structure of ships in the Ming Dynasty. Plus Yangsan also has a shipbuilding master.

Self-sufficient, well-fed.

Wang Jin's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he also played

Make up your mind that this lifeblood must be in your hands. After Lao Tzu provided advanced technical ideas, he constantly explored and tried to improve, and built better and more suitable warships by himself.

The more he thought about this, the better, Wang Jin happily took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and looked at the big official Chai Jin: "Brother! Before purchasing a ship, I would like to ask the shipyard to help me purchase a large quantity of timber suitable for the construction of seagoing vessels, or buy it from the shipyard at a higher price, and there is no limit to the quantity. ”

"Brother, what are you?" Chai Jin's face was full of doubts.

Wang Jin patted the shoulder of the big official and explained in the tone of a big brother: "Brother, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." Liangshan has 800 miles of water, there are also small docks, try to build small and medium-sized sea ships, how to maintain, repair sea ships are also necessary, take precautions! ”

Chai Jin frowned and thought for a moment before suddenly realizing it, and a smile appeared on his face: "Well, what my brother said is right, this matter is simple, just go back and say it, and I will transfer some experienced shipwrecks to help." ”

"Ouch, then thank you brother for your help." Wang Jin was overjoyed and thanked again and again: "Brother, I plan to purchase 200 thousand-material seagoing vessels, 50 3600 or 5000 ships, and 10 10,000-material Mulan boats in the cabin. ”

"You and I are brothers... Puff cough cough cough ......" Chai Jin smiled and waved his hand, ready to drink tea, but when he heard Wang Jin's next sentence, he almost choked to death without a mouthful of water.

"Brother, how much do you say?" After a long time, Chai Jin wiped his mouth and asked.

Wang Jin reported the previous data again, and finally added: "In fact, the number can be more, and I Liangshan has this strength, and I can eat it." ”

It is no wonder that the owner of the Wang Zhai has a soft spot for sea ships

It's really hard to buy. Ships of about 2,000 materials can be purchased as long as they have the money to report to the government, but larger ones need to be customized by shipyards. And you have to queue up, five thousand materials in the sky, and it's not so simple to want a big ship!

Ordinary shipyards don't have that capability.

"Hey! Brother! Chai Jin showed a wry smile on his face: "If there are thirty or fifty sea ships, I can still find a way to get together from Deng, Lai and other places." But there are two or three hundred ships at once, which is simply impossible in a short period of time. Especially the Mulan boat, which has been built for more than half a year, is not so easy to buy. ”

"Brother, what do you want so many ships to do?" Chai Jin leaned over and asked.

It's no wonder that Chai Daguan asked this question.

It's really too much for a guy to say, especially the Mulan boat. Not only is the selection of materials exquisite, the cost is expensive, the key is to build a long time. Generally, caravans would rather choose a few more ships than such ships. Shuibo Liangshan is just a lake, and it can't accommodate this kind of giant ship, only long-distance trade, but Liangshan is just a cottage.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? Overseas countries are full of gold, business opportunities, cottages plan to go to sea to do business, to solve the problem of cottages to eat. Wang Jin said matter-of-factly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he told a lie.

"Brother, little brother is not stupid." Chai Jin smiled bitterly, although he knew that Shuibo Liangshan had changed a lot, he would not believe that he was going to sea to do business.

"Xiao Qi, osmanthus." Wang Jin shouted. Ruan Xiaoqi and Shang Guihua understood. Go to the front door and the back door respectively, and the guard partition wall has ears.

Wang Jin deliberately lowered his voice again, and whispered: "Liangshan is just a cottage, but there are only 30,000 or 50,000 people.

Fighting against the imperial court is like a grasshopper shaking a tree. Even food is not self-sufficient, so it can only go down the mountain to grab or buy it everywhere. Now that my strength is weak, I can only look overseas. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Jin patted the shoulder of the Chai official, and didn't say much when he stopped. It's not that I don't believe it, but there are some things that are beneficial and harmless to say too much. Besides, this Chai official is the smartest, and he can see through it at all.

Chai Jin was dumbfounded, clutched the teacup tightly, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He had already vaguely guessed what the man in front of him was trying to do. It is difficult to make a difference on the territory of the Song Dynasty, so go overseas.

"Brother is so ambitious?"

After coming back to his senses, Chai Jin was a little depressed, and he was full of shocked emotion.

"Do you want to do it all together?" Wang Jin didn't answer, and said after a while: "Life is in the world, just dozens of spring and autumn seasons, and it coincides with troubled times. Instead of being aggrieved for a lifetime, it's better to throw off your arms and work with me. ”

"I, I.... May I? Chai Jin's face turned red and his breath was short. It is the ancestors of the Chai family who have been aggrieved all his life, including him Chai Jin. Suddenly hearing a different remark, he was already restless.

"Of course you can! Come on, come and see. ”

Wang Jin showed a gentle smile like a devil and pulled Chai Jin. With a little tea on his fingers, he drew the outline of a world map on the table: "Brother, do you know that you, I and the people of the world are just frogs at the bottom of the well." Look, how big was the territory outside the Song Dynasty? This palm-sized place is the Song Dynasty. To the east is Goryeo, the Wa Kingdom, and to the west is Tibet. To the north is the Liao ......, and there are many continents on the other side of the ocean......"

Wang Jin's

It is as if the water of the Yangtze River came from the sky. Chai Jin's eyes didn't blink, and he watched the map gradually formed on the coffee table. Australia, Europe, the Americas and other vast continents have emerged one after another. Listening to a certain guy's incessant preaching, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

Not to mention this Chai Daguan who has seen the world, others such as Hu Sanniang, Li Qingqing, Shang Guihua, and Ruan Xiaoqi are even more shocked, looking at each other. The more I looked at the man who was talking about it, the more it seemed very familiar.

Wang Jin sketched a rough map of the world, flickering, no, he was kindly admonishing Chai Jin: "Brother, what's the use of you having money?" Walk bare-striped. It's better to do something meaningful while you're still young, rather than doing nothing. If it is an ideal investment.

The ancients said that if you invest a million games, you will become a motorcycle. Do it with me, be bold, dare to risk your life? How bold is man, how fruitful is the earth. When you take root overseas and re-emerge, you can drag as much as you want. ”

Chai Jin's face showed fanaticism, nodded again and again, and suddenly asked a bit of nonsense with some confusion: "Brother, I don't know what this bicycle and motorcycle are?" ”

"That's what you say, you don't have to worry about it." Wang Jin waved his hand domineeringly. In fact, it was also embarrassing, and it came out directly.

Chai Jin let out an "oh" and asked again: "Brother, how do you know that there are several continents on the other side of the ocean, and how do you know about so many countries?" ”

"Well, this one!" Wang Jin really wants to give the other party a big mouth, which pot is not opened. However, he was also in a hurry, and opened his mouth to lie: "Hey, it's not a secret, I like to read the strange book of the Book of Mountains and Seas,

I heard the caravan mention it again, so I drew this sketch, and the point is that this is not the point. The point is that the overseas world is very broad, and you can show your strengths! ”

"I see." Chai Jin was a little crippled.

"Brother, if you go with us, your identity won't be revealed. Your life will not be affected, you just need to be ...... like this" Wang Jin is a warm-hearted person who considers others and negotiates the move-in.

Chai Jin is not stupid, quite assertive.

The two of them asked and answered like a dumb riddle, and the others didn't understand.

Wang Jin knew that this Chai official was both smart and restless, and he also wanted to get involved. It's like this guy funded Wang Lun to occupy Shuibo Liangshan. How can you not seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now?

How tempting it is to restore the former glory of the Chai family!
