Chapter 767: Huaxia's Craftsman, Amiable Shen An

Pu Jiu has always felt that he is lucky.

His family has been a businessman for generations, and he was originally just eating a big food, but then the big food war was raging, and the foreign enemy invaded, and his life became more and more difficult, so crossing the ocean became the only choice.

Most of those who went to sea became rich. They traveled back and forth between Da Shi and the East, and each round trip was full of rewards.

He remembered the time when his father had sailed home with his fleet......

The ships loaded with Oriental goods slowly approached the port, and the merchants rushed up like crazy, vying for the right to buy the goods.

The silk that seems to come from the clouds, the porcelain that seems to come from heaven, and the tea leaves...... The variety of goods is maddening. You just have to sell it to the west and you can get rich.

It was a crazy time.

Pu Jiu's family happened to join it, so it developed.

People are afraid of death as soon as they have money, and there are few exceptions.

At that time, the civil war between Dashi and the internal division was divided into countless forces.

Messy!

Pu Jiu remembered that period and couldn't help but look pained.

The originally powerful Great Food collapsed because of internal strife, and then the war became the main body, and the people were in chaos.

"That's not wrong at all." Pu Jiu said to his companions: "No matter how powerful an empire is, often the destruction comes from itself, and the external enemy is just a coincidence. ”

This is the periphery of Jinmyeongchi, where the shipbuilding base of the naval army is located.

At this moment, because there is no task, and at the end of the year, those craftsmen are fluctuating and want to go home.

Pu Jiu also wants to go home, but he doesn't know where his home is.

"I'm nostalgic for my hometown." His partner said wistfully: "The Great Song Dynasty is very good, and the prosperous one is not like the world." The people here are also nice and friendly. But I still miss my hometown. I miss the sea breeze and the scorching heat. ”

"Don't think about that." Pu Jiu warned: "That edict is a powerful person in the Great Song Dynasty, he can exert a lot of influence on the government, if he wants to kill us, it is just a small matter." ”

The partner smiled bitterly: "The Song people are all kind, so this is the edict...... He's coming. Won't you build warships in the future? Then we're not free? ”

Pu Jiu greeted him with joy on his face, "It's the best!" We'll be free. ”。 Shen An can't raise him for nothing, so there is hope for freedom.

Freedom, what a good word, listening to it makes me feel my soul flying.

At this moment, Pu Jiu and those big cannibals were overjoyed.

I'm going to be free!

Shen An, Qin Zhen and the others came here after going to the banquet.

"I've seen the edict."

Pu Jiu paid a big salute, Qin Zhen felt a little strange, "Why is this person so respectful?" ”

"I'm scared." Chang Jianren explained Pu Jiu's mentality succinctly.

"Get up!"

Shen An walked to the shore, and when those craftsmen saw that he was coming, they pretended to be diligent.

But now the slipway is empty, and there's nothing to do if you're diligent!

So some people couldn't help but ask: "Waiting for the edict, is the DPRK and China no longer shipbuilding?" ”

"The ships of the navy are all here, are we going to have nothing to do?"

"Yes!"

Shen An smiled and said, "There will be a lot of things in the future, and you can't finish it." ”

Some people don't believe it, "Wait for the edict, the Great Song Dynasty can't have so many ships!" ”

These craftsmen were a little frustrated. Once the work stops here, they will have to find other jobs, but what better job than building warships for the navy?

Successive dynasties have made weapons for the military a lucrative business, and countless people want to come in.

Moreover, building weapons for the military can still get their protection, and competitors dare not reach in no matter how good they are.

Who is willing to leave such a profession with many benefits?

"The future of the Great Song Dynasty needs many ships."

These craftsmen are the backbone of shipbuilding, and Shen An felt the need to strengthen their confidence.

"Just now, the official family just promised to build a warship for the sailor, and it is a bigger warship!"

Shen An looked at Pu Jiu as he spoke, and the craftsmen were all boiling.

"Isn't there enough warship? In the past, it would be good to build a few ships, but this time I built more than 30 ships, and I thought it would be enough in ten years. ”

"I didn't even have one before! The warships in Jinmingchi have become things of play, and they are going to bid...... It's dilapidated, and no one cares about it. Now that a bigger warship is going to be built, what is Da Song going to do? ”

As craftsmen, they know a lot about the warships they build, which is why they find it strange.

A craftsman came out and asked, "Dare to ask the edict, are these big warships going to sea?" ”

Using a big war boat in the river is a brain-dead, because the war ship is large, and it cannot be used on the river that is not wide enough, and eventually becomes the target of various weapons.

When a warship is large, it must go to sea, and it is only on the surface of the sea that they can be used.

But what's on the sea?

What opponents does the Great Song have at sea?

The Liao people had just failed, and Goryeo was not enough to rely on, and the Wa kingdom was now largely self-absorbed......

Pu Jiu's face turned slightly pale, and his partner asked in a low voice, "What does this mean?" No, what does it mean to be a big song? Where can the Great War Ship be used? This sea to the east is not worth ......."

"Don't talk!"

Pu Jiu had heard Shen An's remarks about the ocean one after another, so his face turned pale, and he felt that the Great Food Merchant would soon have multiple opponents.

Let's hope not!

"It's not easy to build a big war ship, you have to brainstorm, dare to think, dare to try, and say a word here......"

Shen An said: "As long as someone can improve the big battle ship, it will prove that it is indeed beneficial, reward!" Reward! ”

At this moment, Shen An felt that he was possessed by the richest man and was full of spirit.

It's a great feeling to be rich!

"Waiting for the edict, there is no money!"

Bao Zheng often ran out of money, and after a long time, even the craftsmen knew that rats could starve to death in the warehouse of the third division.

"No money?"

Shen An said reservedly: "The navy went out to fight this time and captured more than 30 warships and more than 30 merchant ships...... There are also countless goods that are about to be sold...... Who said there was no money? ”

it!

The craftsmen's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to see those things exchanged for countless copper coins.

They saw the sailors parade in the morning and were proud of the ships they had built.

But what to do with those seizures, they didn't even think about it.

According to the urine nature of the court, most of those seizures were attributed to the three divisions, and they had nothing to do with the navy.

But Shen An actually had the ability to snatch these things back from Bao Zheng's hands...... This ability, the cow pen is a big deal!

The craftsmen rejoiced, and someone said, "Wait for the edict, just say, what kind of ship you want to build, we don't have a problem!" ”

"Yes, we can build even the biggest ship."

"Really?" Shen Anxin was overjoyed and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

An old craftsman said proudly: "Don't worry, it's just a warship, I've built it once, and the rest is trivial." ”

Nima!

Shen An suddenly remembered the counterattack of the later generations.

Later generations of Huaxia lagged behind, but it only took a few decades to catch up with the mainstream level, and it had countless new technologies from scratch, what did it rely on?

It's the craftsmen who rely on it!

Huaxia craftsmen have the ability to look at your things, and then figure it out for themselves, you can make a better one.

It is by virtue of this ability that later generations of Huaxia continue to complete counterattacks and constantly achieve corner overtaking.

Now this is just a warship, and it's really relatively simple.

In the future, those warships were full of countless parts, and now they are only wooden structures.

It's not a thing!

An indescribable sense of pride made Shen An feel happy, and he said: "Then think about it, wait until the New Year to start work, think it out first, and then discuss it with the people of the water army, and finally settle down and start building." ”

"Don't worry about not working!"

Shen An said firmly: "In the future, you will have to build countless warships, as well as countless merchant ships, and the ships of the Great Song Dynasty will be spread all over the sea, you are not enough people, far from enough, so rest assured, you can live for the New Year!" ”

The craftsmen thanked happily, and someone shouted: "Don't be lazy, everyone is not on vacation, come and clean the slipway, clean up, and then tidy up all those utensils, and it will be easy to turn around, what is that word called......"

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools."

"Yes, yes, hurry."

The faces of the craftsmen are full of smiles, and there is a taste of happiness when they look at it.

This kind of mastership makes it difficult for Pu Jiu and others to understand, according to the rules of the craftsmen on their side, if you can't work, you won't work, and the lord above will move if you shout, and if you don't shout, we will grind foreign workers.

But the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty opened their eyes.

These craftsmen are not only smart......

Really smart!

Pu Jiu was even a little desperate.

It was only a warship that was built, and these Great Song craftsmen put forward many suggestions for improvement, and they proved correct after implementing them one by one.

The Song people are really ...... It's desperate!

You've learned it only once, and you can improve it, so is there still a way for us to live?

Previously, he felt that Da Song should not build any more warships, so he was about to be free. But he was wrong.

Shen An walked over, Pu Jiu bowed his head, and his companions all lowered their heads, expressing their obedience to this young man who could decide the life and death of himself and others.

"Want to be free?"

Shen An's question made Pu Jiu's heart tighten, and when he saw a few of his partners happy, he regretted it.

He longed for freedom before, but now he didn't dare to hope for it.

The craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty had learned to build warships, and they were useless.

If it's useless, it's free.

But according to his understanding of this edict, once you are useless to him......

No, it should be said that according to the attitude of this edict towards the foreign vassals, once they are useless, for the sake of secrecy......

In an instant, Pu Jiu knelt down and said piously: "The villain is willing to build a warship for the Great Song Dynasty for the rest of his life, and the villain promises to work hard to explore and will definitely be able to build a better warship......"

Those partners all looked at him in surprise, and someone said: "Now that the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty are all gone, wait for the edict, can I go back?" ”

These fools!

Pu Jiu sighed in his heart, and then put his head on the ground.

Shen An's voice sounded very gentle, "Really? So...... Who wants to go back? Register your name. ”
