The children's living conditions can basically be known through the intelligence system of the Shanchuan Inspectorate after the fact, but it is only known and cannot interfere at all.

Why is the forbidden army of the imperial court always very rigid in fighting, and the battles that can be won are sometimes lost in vain? One of the important reasons is that the generals in the front have to arrange their troops according to the intentions of the emperor and the Privy Council, and even arrange their troops with the holy decree prepared in advance, and they dare not change it at all.

This method cannot be said to be completely wrong, and it is even quite advanced, and it has a fight with the information warfare model of later generations. But it needs strong communication technology to support it to be easy to use, in ancient times when there was no network, satellite, and drone, it was strange to be able to win.

In the same way, I don't know what the local situation is, and since I have scattered the children, I should stop trying to control them in all aspects, and let them develop on their own is more reasonable. All you need to do is allocate system resources and manage system risks according to the actual situation.

The spring of Yuanfeng ten years came relatively early, the temperature suddenly rose in March, and the people who had been dormant for a winter also drilled out like small insects, and the rich and noble people went to the river to see the willows, and the farmers were ploughing cattle everywhere.

The first place to be lively is still the shipyard by the river, and as the ice on the river clears, the shipwrights remove the straw and rainproof cloth that has covered the ship from the hull and let the direct sunlight warm and dispel the moisture of the wood.

The second and third state-class armed cargo ships had already finished keeling, and the ribs and planks had been made in carpentry for the winter, and now all that needed to be done was to transport them over and load them on the hull.

Since each workpiece has a standard size, there is no need to keep the keel to be processed one by one and then installed one by one, but simply built in the shed and then installed in a centralized manner, which can save at least three months of construction period.

What should I do if the size is wrong? As long as the keel size is determined to be correct, the size of any part is wrong, indicating that someone has done something wrong, and there is no second possibility. Then check it according to the work number on the part, who did it, who audited it at a glance, and who should be responsible for who is responsible.

This set of management methods was proposed by Hong Tao, which can be regarded as filling in the gaps in the Wen family's shipbuilding assembly line. When these two new ways of thinking are combined, the speed of shipbuilding can be accelerated in the future, and more ships can be built at the same time without increasing the number of manpower.

"Old man, is your body still strong?" Watching the two ships grow muscles and skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, Hong Tao was no longer worried about the construction schedule, and instead began to worry about the future of the Wen family and the hundred and ten shipwrights.

It is unlikely that they could be scattered and continue to build new sea-going ships for the seamen, and no one except the sailors on the Huangzhou would sail such a Western-style mixed sailing ship, so no one would want to build it.

Let them follow Wang Hao back to Zhangzhou to develop, only a small number of these shipwrights are from Zhangzhou, and the rest are all drawn from the van service and engineering soldiers.

If they all disperse and get together again, it will be difficult to ask Wang Hao what he means, but also to listen to the thoughts of the Wen family and the shipwrights, and it is useless to think that it is reasonable.

"Let the Hou Ye bother, I can eat three bowls of white rice in one meal, except for some wind chill on my legs, it's no problem to work for a few more years! Hou Ye rest assured, even if the old man can't do it, there are still three brothers here, they are all Hou Ye's apprentices, just like his son, whoever dares to say a word will not want to enter the ancestral grave. When the weather can make the boat, there are still a few little grandchildren in the family who want to come up to learn the craft, and there will be no shortage of manpower! ”

Father Wen's body is indeed not bad, and he is full of anger when he speaks, an old man like him who has not been idle all his life, as long as he can eat, there will be no problems. Once something is not fragrant one day, the children should also prepare to wait for the old man to die.

"It's a pity, the imperial court doesn't plan to build these three ships after it is completed, and the official will have to leave this place in a few months, so I want to ask the old man if he has any plans in the future."

The more energetic Father Wen was, the more bitter Hong Tao felt in his heart, and finally got the shipyard up, just on the right track, he had to dismantle it with his own hands, this kind of thing of taking three steps and taking two steps back is the most annoying.

"Master Hou is leaving? …… Can you ask where you plan to take office? As long as there is a river in that place, our family will follow the adults, and our craft will not be in vain without the workshop! ”

One sentence made Father Wen fall from the scorching sun into the ice cave, and he knew better than anyone else the process and raw material supply of the new sea-going ship, which could not be built by the shipwrights alone.

A series of parts such as waterproof and anti-corrosion asphalt oil, steel bolts that fasten the hull, copper hoops that splice masts, copper pulleys for lifting sails, and gearboxes for steering wheels are all made by other workshops, and those canvases, without which no one can do anything.

"This is what this official wants to discuss with you today, and it is still uncertain where he will take office, and it is not even certain whether he can take office. You've been here for two years, haven't you? I should also know that this official has a deep contradiction with his colleagues in the DPRK and China, and once he leaves office, he is afraid that there will be earth-shaking changes here, and it is difficult to say whether the workshops can survive. It is true that Da Niu, Erhu, and Sanbao are the apprentices of this official, and it is precisely because of this that they don't want the Wen family to suffer together. Instead of having to leave at that time, it is better to think about a way out now, can the old man understand this? ”

The matter of the Northern Expedition is not too much of a secret in the imperial court, but no one knows about it among the people, and Hong Tao does not want to reveal it from his mouth, so that the Liao people are vigilant is equivalent to adding difficulties to the new army.

“…… Then the officials don't care about them? Alas, the old man understands, the major affairs of the court are not something that we can talk about, I don't know if the Hou Ye has a plan, I just listen to the old man. "Daddy Wen is not a fool, he understands and understands, in addition to stomping his feet and regretting, he also wants to hear the meaning of the founding marquis.

"I don't have any good ways to deal with it, but I think it's a pity that these craftsmen are all scattered. In the future, it will take a year or two to bring the apprentice again, and the most troublesome thing is that you have to have a boat to practice, and you can't learn it just by following it for four or five years. See if you can persuade them all to go back to Zhangzhou, Wang Daguan and I will go to Xiang, it shouldn't be a problem to help the Wen family get a shipyard. ”

Hong Tao had no choice but to push people to Wang Hao first. He didn't want to go to Japan, there must be a demand for new sea vessels. As long as there is a demand, it is easy to do, and they will pay for a shipyard with the Wen family, and their craft will not be wasted, and they can slowly cultivate the market for new seagoing ships.

“…… Just do what Hou Ye said, and the old man will go to them one by one and say, if you can take one more, you will have one more. It's just that Master Hou, you ......" Father Wen lowered his head and thought about it, this method is feasible, and he doesn't want his craftsmen to disperse.

"Don't worry about the official, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. But don't mention to anyone about going to Zhangzhou to open a shipyard, and don't talk about the big bull, the second tiger, and the third leopard for the time being, and someone will come forward to help handle it when the time comes. ”

Now that Father Wen agreed, Hong Tao was relieved, how many craftsmen could be willing to follow the Wen family to Zhangzhou to make a living, that was their choice, and they couldn't do ideological work one by one.

"Alas...... The traitor is in charge, God doesn't open his eyes! Seeing the founding marquis walking up the river embankment with his hands behind his back, Father Wen slapped his thigh and simply squatted on the ground and cursed quietly.

He didn't understand the affairs of the imperial court, but it was certainly right that the big ships built in the shipyard were good things. The founding marquis has done a lot of good things in the past two or three years in the Daimyo's Mansion, which is also true. But why can't a good official last long, is there really no good person to live in this world?

"Daddy, daddy......" Before he could scold, the shouts of his son came from the scaffolding.

"What a howl, your father is not dead yet, let go of a fart!" Father Wen was aggrieved, and he couldn't lie to others, so he just gave his son a part.

"Dad, the Huangzhou is back...... "Split his head and cover his face and was scolded, Wen Daniu stood on the scaffolding and was a little confused. But I have to continue to talk about the scolding, not only to say, but also to point to that the white sail shadow in the west is too familiar.
