Chapter 140 Jiangnan Shipyard

Days in Shanghai? No, Shanghai at this time was just a small fishing village, the total population of the village was only three or four hundred, there was no traffic, no lights, no roads, not even a horse-drawn carriage, the whole village people relied on fishing for a living, if it were not for the construction of a "Jiangnan shipyard" outside the village a few years ago, this small village would not even have a private school.

Since the opening of the shipyard, the tranquility of this small village has been broken, with the increase in the population of the shipyard, the beginning of the construction of the wharf, the small fishing village has gradually become a small town, the shipyard has set up a private school, no matter whose children can go to school for free, the village finally has some literate people, and the sound of reading really adds a lot of vitality to the town.

Today is June 18, and early in the morning, the gate of the shipyard is crowded with the officials and foremen in charge of the shipyard and the wharf, and there are also incense tables, gongs and drums and other things, which are festive. The men, women, and children of the town did not know what was happening, but they also estimated that a big man was coming, and they all stopped their business and crowded at the gate of the shipyard to watch the excitement.

At the moment, the sun has risen high, although it is morning, but the sun in the summer is also very hot, the onlookers have already been a little impatient, each looking for a shade to hide, those officials are dressed in neat court clothes by the sun, all are sweating, but no one dares to run to hide without authorization, can only keep wiping the sweat rolling down with Bai Juan, without him, just because it is the prince Yinzuo of Qincha.

At two o'clock, a large group of people and horses in the distance surrounded more than ten sedan chairs towards the shipyard, and the officials who had been waiting for a long time were in a commotion, but they did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more solemn, each dressed in official clothes, and watched with bated breath. Qingsong, who was riding on a tall horse, saw the tall flagpole at the gate of the shipyard from a distance, and came to Yinzuo's sedan chair with a longitudinal horse, and said loudly: "Lord, it's almost to the ground." ”

Yinzuo in the sedan chair retracted his thoughts and replied in a deep voice: "Got it." ”

The mission went smoothly, but Yinzuo's mood was not very good, whether it was to meet with local officials, or to discuss affairs with Guo Xiu, he was always a little absent-minded, and his eyes were full of Wang Xifeng's crying eyes - after Yinzuo revealed his identity, he did not get Feng'er's understanding as he imagined, the little girl cried and ran, and even Yinzuo didn't come to see him off, which made Yinzuo feel so distressed that he couldn't do it, and he had the heart to find Feng'er, but he didn't know how to explain to Wang Xifeng, so he had no choice but to leave first.

The big guy understands the root cause of Yinzuo's unhappiness in his heart, but the love is originally a difficult mystery to solve, outsiders can't help, even if he wants to help come up with an idea, he doesn't have the guts, after all, Yinzuo's identity is there, and the affairs of the heavenly family are not something that others can peck at will. Although there is nothing important at this time, seeing Yinzuo's troubled look is not a solution, no, Lin Xuanyi thought of a way, and proposed to go to the Shanghai shipyard and wharf to go around, firstly, to inspect the progress of the project, and secondly, to take a break by the way. Yinzuo doesn't care, there is an old man Guo Xiu guarding the gate in Shanghai, and there is a Qing official like Fan Shijie staring at it, and there is nothing big about it, it really makes no difference whether you look at it or not, but since it is Lin Xuanyi's proposal, it is not easy to dismiss it, right? In this way, he led Guo Xiu, Zhejiang Governor Qi Shan, Fan Tai Song Shiming, Zhentai Yao Jie and other officials, and went to Shanghai lively.

Placing incense cases and announcing holy decrees are some common practice, and there is nothing surprising about it, Yinzuo announced the will, so that officials at all levels and foremen can go back to their own affairs, not to miss the construction period because of waiting for themselves, and he led the officials who came with him to be accompanied by Fan Shijie from the dock to the shipyard to look all the way.

Shanghai's wharves are all from scratch to start construction, at this time, thousands of recruited people are in full swing, Yinzuo in the busy construction site turned around, the progress and quality of the project are quite satisfied, especially seeing that Shanghai's wharf has begun to use their own cement, is a little proud, called Fan Shijie behind him to the side, and asked with an amiable face: "Ziming (Fan Shijie's words), is the cement on this wharf enough?" Is there anything wrong with the technicians who are sent? ”

Fan Shijie was born with a pair of big ears, once excited, the tips of the ears still shook non-stop, and was jokingly called Fan Donkey by his colleagues, of course, this person's temper is also as strong as a donkey, he admits death in his life, and has never been very convincing, but he admires Yinzuo very much, and when he heard Yinzuo's call, he hurriedly ran over, grinned with a big mouth, and said with light in his eyes: "Okay, this thing dries quickly, unlike the cement that has to wait for several days to dry out, and those sub-foremen are also dedicated." The amount of plaster is also sufficient, enough to make. ”

"Okay, that's good, Ziming has worked hard this time, as soon as the project is completed, this king will definitely go to this book, and he won't be able to treat you." Yinzuo's words had a hint of temptation, and those words revealed the meaning of wanting to accept Fan Shijie as his subordinate. Although Fan Shijie is strong, but he is not a fool, he naturally heard the subtext in Yinzuo's words, although he also admires Yinzuo's talent, but Comrade Fan does not want to fall into the cruel struggle of his brothers. ”

Hey, this old guy is really slippery, and he started an ambush with us, but Comrade Fan is a talent, so he can use it first. Yinzuo's mind turned quickly, and seeing that Comrade Fan didn't want to fall into the battle of his brothers, and he didn't force him, he laughed and said: "You Fan donkey is really good at talking, okay, go back to the shipyard and walk." ”

Yinzuo's Jiangnan Shipyard has been established for four years since Kangxi was established in the 32nd year, and it was originally a research and development center, doing all the small business of building small fishing boats, small merchant ships, or repairing ships for naval warships, but the shipyard originally had as many as six or seven large docks, and the research on large sea ships in the factory has never stopped, and it can't make money at all, Yinzuo has to take out two or three hundred thousand taels of silver every year to paste it upside down, just to catch up with the express train of sea transportation.

Since the passage of the first month of the 36th year of Kangxi, Jiangnan Shipyard has been busy, recruiting troops and horses, and building additional docks, and the money is spent like flowing water, that is, Yinzuo, such a big god of wealth, can hold on, and others have long been dragged down by the big burden of the shipyard.

At this moment, ten docks in the shipyard are lined up, and ten large sea ships are being built at the same time. Looking at the busy workers on the slipway, Yinzuo's heart was beautiful, the hammer sounded like the impact of ingots, and the "dollar" floating around in his eyes was what was a cool word. Yinzuo was happy for a long time before turning around and asking Fan Shijie: "Ziming, is there a completed sea boat?" Seeing that this king was moved, he also wanted to get off the boat and try it. ”

"Master, there is no new ship that has been completed, but there is an old ship, which is a sample ship completed two years ago, if the master doesn't mind, he can use it." Before Fan Shijie could answer, Liu Hecheng, the director of the shipyard who had been following Yinzuo, hurriedly replied.

Liu Hecheng, whose name is Wang, is Liu Mingchuan's cousin, who is honest and kind, not a material for doing business, but he is serious and meticulous in his work, and he is a good hand at managing the shipyard. When the shipyard was first built, Yinzuo also met with him, took him under his door, and handed over some assembly line operations, departmental responsibility systems, production planning and other theories to Liu Hecheng in later generations, so that he could ponder one or two. Don't look at Liu Hecheng's business, but it's really good to study management theory, and the huge shipyard is managed in an orderly manner, which saves Fan Shijie a lot of worry in charge.

Mind? Hey, our own boat, what do you have to mind, the old point is the old point, and it can be used. Yinzuo did not take a boat in his previous life, and these few times he went to the south of the Yangtze River by boat, but he was not his own ship, and when he heard that he had a big ship, how could he miss it, and he led a group of officials of all sizes to board the big ship docked at a small pier in the shipyard, and with an order, the big ship set sail and sailed to the sea.

This ship is based on the sample drawing of Zheng He's treasure ship, after many demonstrations and modifications by the technicians of Jiangnan Shipyard, the ship is 18 zhang 8 feet, the bottom of the ship is 12 zhang 03 feet 6 inches, the imaginary tip of the board is 3 zhang 3 feet 4 inches, the head width is 2 zhang 3 feet 5 inches, the head depth is 7 feet 8 inches, the middle width is 3 zhang 4 feet 3 inches, the middle depth is 9 feet 1 inch, it is three points larger than Zheng He's treasure ship, the middle mast is as high as more than 30 zhang, and the two auxiliary masts in front and one back also have 20 battles up and down.

At the same time, the big ship sailed with full sails, and the speed of the boat was extremely fast, plowing the waterline on the blue sea, which was a spectacular sight, and the seagulls flying around the ship chased each other, and the crisp chirping echoed on the sea. Yinzuo stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, his heart fluctuated, and he couldn't restrain himself for a long time - my ship, my ocean, one day, I want my fleet to sweep the ocean, let the sea become the ocean of China, this day will never be too long, I swear......
