At noon, Lin Yaohua and the three of them had a hasty meal, then continued on the road, and traveled more than 30 miles north to Chaodong Port.

The east port is shaped like a chicken coop, the harbor is six or seven miles inland, it is an excellent haven, the largest shipyard in Huashan is located here, and it is only one hundred and fifty miles to detour back to Chaoyang from the sea.

Chaodong Shipyard covers a huge area, and can start the construction of eight 500-ton ships at the same time, which is nearly twice as large as Chaoyang Shipyard, for which Huashan has invested tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Measuring the size of the ship by tonnage was stipulated by Yue Buqun after receiving the report that Dong Yiwen had captured the Portuguese warship.

With three feet square as one side, according to the weight of clear water, it is one ton, and the ship is rated tonnage according to the volume of water discharged by the hull, so now the ships in Huashan are all in tons.

Yue Buqun took the geographical location of Taipei in later generations, as the first foothold of Huashan landing in the Ryukyus, where the terrain is flat, dozens of miles longitudinally and horizontally, the water flow is abundant, it is an excellent place to live, named after the eastern peak of Huashan Chaoyang, and the east port is Keelung port.

As soon as they saw Lin Yaohua coming, they sent someone to inform Liu Changan, the head of Chaodong, and Zhang Sancai, the director of the shipyard, Lin Yaohua and his party of five went to the gate of the shipyard, and Liu Changan and Zhang Sancai all went out to greet him.

Lin Yaohua opened his mouth and asked: "Chang'an, how about the shipyard to prevent flooding?

Liu Changan said with a smile: "The construction of our Chaodong shipyard is the best, plus there is no big river, and it is on the seaside, where there will be waterlogging, you see, there is no water on the road." He pointed outside.

Lin Yaohua looked out carefully, and sure enough, although the muddy water in the ditch was turbulent, the ground had already begun to dry, so he put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "That's good, this shipyard is very expensive, and we can't afford anything to happen." ”

Zhang Sancai stepped forward and said, "I've seen Deputy Hall Master Lin!"

Lin Yaohua came to Ryukyu for four years and showed extraordinary organizational skills, gradually becoming Tong Yiwen's main assistant, and was promoted by Yue Buqun to the deputy head of Nanhai Hall last year.

Lin Yaohua replied: "Director Zhang doesn't need to be polite, let's go, let's go to the shipyard and have a look." ”

Zhang Sancai was busy leading the way, leading Lin Yaohua and others into the shipyard.

Eight huge factories are lined up on the seaside, 25 zhang long and 15 zhang wide, all of which are made of giant trees as pillars, about six zhang high.

Lin Yaohua entered the shipbuilding room, the internal space was huge, and a two-hundred-ton Fu ship was being built, occupying only about half of the length of the workshop.

The shipwrights seemed to be unaffected by the rainstorm, and were concentrating on building the hull, and when they saw someone coming in, they ignored it and buried themselves in their work.

Lin Yaohua looked around the factory, especially at the gate, and found that there was no water seeping in, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Sancai: "Director Zhang has good management. ”

Zhang Sancai joined the Nutao Gang, with a group of Zhoushan children, worked diligently for a few years, won Tong Yiwen's appreciation, and was promoted to the director of Chaodong Shipyard last year, which is also a high authority in Ryukyu.

Hearing Lin Yaohua's praise, he said modestly: "It's the Tong Hall Master and the Deputy Hall Master Lin who are well led, and the three talents are just obedient." ”

Liu Changan said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang doesn't have to be polite, it's because your grades can't run, Deputy Hall Master Lin is a person who understands, if there is any difficulty, just hurry up and mention it, after this village, there will be no store, and I don't know when Deputy Hall Master Lin will be free to come to you." ”

Liu Changan and Zhang Sancai have been colleagues for two years, and they get along very well, knowing that Zhang Sancai and others have something to do, and they also have the intention to fulfill it, so they help to speak.

Lin Yaohua glanced at Liu Changan and said: "Director Zhang has something to say, it is a public matter and self-blame, and if you are in private affairs, you can help and help." ”

Zhang Sancai said embarrassedly: "I don't know whether this matter is a public matter or a private matter, but this is the case, isn't there a lot of shipwrights from Zhoushan and Zhejiang in our shipyard? Now that we are stable, I want to move my family over, in Chaoyang and Yuntai, so that it is convenient to go home and take care of the old and young at home." ”

Lin Yaohua thought about it for a while and said: "This is also a business matter, you go back and give me a list, count the number of people, I will go back and make arrangements, the Nujiao Gang will not treat people who work hard." ”

The implication is that honest and willing shipwrights are fine, and those who are cheating or playing tricks or other relatives and friends should not report it.

Although Huashan is in urgent need of a large number of immigrants, it has always been very cautious about the arrangements for resettlement, and all the neighbors and fellow villagers have been disrupted and dispersed to resettle, so as to avoid the phenomenon of township party grouping and so on, which will cause unnecessary trouble to management.

Zhang Sancai was overjoyed, and said, "Thank you, Deputy Hall Master Lin, you can solve the big trouble for us." ”

Lin Yaohua nodded, continued to inspect other factories and warehouses, and inspected the environment where the shipwrights lived.

That night, Liu Changan and Zhang Sancai hosted a banquet for Lin Yaohua and others, and Lin Yaohua inquired in detail about the progress of the construction of the shipyard's warships.

Early the next morning, Lin Yaohua and others bypassed Taihua Mountain by boat, crossed the mouth of the Hua River that connects Chaoyang, traveled 50 miles by sea, and arrived at Yuntai Town in the afternoon.

Yuntai Town is the second resettlement point opened up by Huashan, the terrain is open, more than three times larger than Chaoyang, has now settled 8,000 households, nearly 50,000 people, has opened up more than 40,000 acres of paddy fields.

These diligent Chinese people, under the command of the disciples of Huashan, happily cut down trees, burned wild forests, filled in swamps, and cultivated these barren lands into neat and uniform fertile fields.

On the second day, Zhu Yixin, the mayor of Yuntai Town, accompanied Lin Yaohua to inspect Yuntai Town, which had just stopped raining, Lin Yaohua found that only three or four hundred acres of paddy fields were flooded, and the rest of the property was lost very little, and he was satisfied: "Mayor Zhu has a good leadership and manages Yuntai in an orderly manner, and this year's evaluation is excellent." ”

Zhu Yixin is in his forties, and he has been staying at the ninth layer of Huashan Mental Method, his potential is exhausted, and he is not able to reach the first-class strength.

And the young man in front of him, only twenty-two or three, has advanced to the peak of the fourth layer, and in a year or two, he will definitely be able to step into the ranks of first-class masters, and he secretly sighed in his heart, and said when he heard it: "Everything has its own regulations, just do things according to the rules." ”

Lin Yaohua nodded and said, "Since it's okay, then I'll go back, and when I have time to go to Chaoyang, we'll drink and chat again." ”

On the Yuntai side, although the population is more than Chaoyang, they are all farmers, and the importance of opening up farmland and planting crops is far less than that of Chaoyang.

All kinds of workshops and factories in Chaoyang have to resume work after the rain, and there are a lot of affairs, and Lin Yaohua does not dare to stay away.

Zhu Yixin knew that Lin Yaohua was busy with affairs, and it was inconvenient to stay longer, so he diligently sent Lin Yaohua out until he arrived at the seaside pier.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw a disciple performing light skills, rushed over, and whispered urgently: "Deputy Hall Master of Yulin, Mayor Zhu, there is a lifetime coming." ”
