"Little Lao'er has seen Master Hou......" As soon as he walked down the embankment, the first person to run over was Father Huang.

This old man understands etiquette more and more, and after respecting and profoundly, he stands aside with his head down and waits for orders, without the slightest sense of vulgarity on his body, and with the same new army training uniform, he thinks he is an old craftsman in the workshop.

In addition to the clothes, what made him have such a big change was mainly the role of the craftsmen in the workshop. The construction of a new type of seaship is the embodiment of comprehensive technology, which cannot be completed by boatsmiths and carpentry alone, and requires the cooperation of craftsmen from all the workshops.

Through these contacts, the Huang family and the shipwrights they brought with them quickly integrated into the system, and the speed was not ordinarily fast. In particular, the younger generations in the family have already started to follow the literacy classes held in the workshop, and it is a great progress to realize the importance of new knowledge so quickly.

These advances really did not come out of thin air, nor did they listen to the words of other craftsmen, but the credit of this sea ship. A ship that has not yet been built made the Huang family realize from top to bottom how difficult it is to not know how to read and write, and not to know how to count geometry.

All processes are equipped with drawings, and at present, the Huang family still can't understand these drawings, and Hong Tao needs to explain them personally. On weekdays, I have to be accompanied by a few children from the children's group, and the children will answer the data that they have forgotten or can't figure out.

Whether it is keel splicing, mast manufacturing, steering wheel transmission, perforated rudder plate, bow and stern structure, or the ribs of the cabin, the joint of the ship's plank, and the installation of stabilizer fins, they are all new technologies that the Song Dynasty shipwrights have never been exposed to.

As a qualified craftsman, the Huang family has to learn with a mind, and it has to become their own stunt. Since it's your own stunt, how can you always rely on others for guidance. Therefore, the enthusiasm for learning is spontaneous, no one forces it, and it is not happy to let you learn.

"The ship that went to sea hasn't come back yet, will there be a problem?" Hong Tao didn't come to see the effect of hot air balloon training, nor did he check the quality of shipbuilding, and when he returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, he learned that the two training ships had not returned, and he immediately panicked.

According to the plan, the two ships will return to the sea between 20 and a month, and the wind direction will be a few days sooner and a few days slower if the wind direction is not suitable. But it's been almost forty days, and they're still nowhere to be seen, and if something goes wrong, the Jewish sailors aren't too distressed, and Chen Niang and the children of those children's groups are really reluctant.

"Hou Ye, don't worry, the ability of the Pu family's sailors has been seen by the old man, they have run in the South Seas, and this little wind and waves are not in the way. Hou Ye's ship is also one top and one firm, and there is no reason for two ships to have problems together. Thinking about it, there is something delayed, the old man is used to running on land and sea, not to mention ten and a half days and a month, three or five months is also a common thing. ”

Daddy Huang is much calmer than Hong Tao in this regard, as the saying goes, care is chaos, he doesn't have much to do with the people on the boat, and he looks at the problem from a more objective perspective.

"Well, that's right, then wait. Let's go, can you accompany me on the ship to see if this ship may be completed before winter? "Hong Tao is not a person whose mother-in-law and mother are too emotional, let alone an adopted daughter and adopted son, even if his own children should be put down on the boat.

Daddy Huang is right, the skills and experience of the Jewish sailors are absolutely fine, the navigation skills of Chen Niang and the nephews of the Wang family are definitely no problem, and the quality of the ships is even better, so don't worry about it, do something serious.

"Wrapped in the old man, Hou Ye rest assured, if the ship is not built well, the old man will be in the ice hole! cough cough cough ...... "Daddy Huang slapped his chest loudly, but after all, he was old, and his heart and lungs were shaken, and he almost didn't catch his breath.

"Don't, people can still build next year, and if people don't have boats, they will be gone. The official saw that this boat didn't need so many manpower, so it was better to lower the keels of the other two boats, and the wood could be tighter after freezing for a winter. ”

The ship is not bad, and some details are not satisfactory, but it doesn't matter, it does not affect normal use, it will only reduce the service life. The first ship can't be too demanding, and it's already very good that this is done.

When the second and third ships were completed, these 100 people were the top shipwrights in the Northern Song Dynasty. They don't have to continue teaching, they can figure out how to build bigger ships on their own.

Technology is as endless as human greed, a mountain looks at a mountain high, always want to turn over to see what lies ahead, even if one generation does not succeed, the next generation will continue to climb.

This is not the behavior of one or two people, more than a hundred people, in the future, it will be dozens of fires, even if you want to extinguish them all, the possibility of success is not great, and the court can't stop it.

"You want to get it, you want to get it, these woods are still short when they dry in the shade, and how cool and cool they are. It's that the sail hasn't landed yet, or the old man will go back to Mingzhou, spend a few more money to find the best workshop, and he can still catch up before the end of the year. ”

Daddy Huang doesn't have to worry about doing more work, now the craftsmen are in high spirits, and they will immediately cut the second and third ships to make the craftsmanship more proficient. But the ship could not be launched after it was built, because it had no sails, sailing sails, and without sails, there was no boat.

"Don't worry, this official has already found a workshop. Our ship is the only No. 1 of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sail is also the only No. 1, and others can't build it. Here you can stare at the official rest assured, but don't be too tired, there is still after the boat, don't be in a hurry, tired body more than worth the loss. ”

Sails do matter, but that's settled. Wang Er wrote to report more than a month ago that the Liangzhou Cotton Mill had made three kinds of legendary canvases, and each of them made three sets first.

Just wait for the exact news to be given here and then continue to produce, if it is not suitable, then there is no problem, just a few hundred words of a letter to describe the finished product, the difficulty can be imagined.

In fact, Wang Er thought too much, and Hong Tao, a substitute for canvas, had already been found. The leather workshop of the Grande is nominally making a second hot air balloon, but in fact he sews a calfskin sail, if the canvas in Liangzhou is not suitable, then the leather sail, the living can still suffocate urine!

Without this certainty, Hong Tao would not have included sea ships in his future war plans, but he could not tell outsiders about this matter, as it would damage his tall image in the eyes of craftsmen.

Prestige is something you can't see or touch, but it's especially useful at times. For example, the current self is the god in the eyes of the craftsmen, and whoever dares to question it is a big rebel.

Without waiting for their own disposal, their fathers, brothers, masters and apprentices will stand up and kill their relatives first. I don't dare to say that I can't stand it if I am killed directly, and I will still be stinky shit in the workshop in the future, no one will be willing to take care of it, and I will not be able to touch a good job.

Hong Tao knows that doing so may affect the creativity of some craftsmen, but for now, their creativity is not as important as stability. After the Northern Expedition is resolved, it's not too late to go back and slowly adjust the rules.

"Wang Xu, can you take this palace to take a look at the hot air balloon you made, just take a look...... It's just that you have to carry it, and this palace doesn't want anyone else! After getting into the car, Princess Terry, who was still lame on one leg, was restless again, and pointed to the big black ball in the distance, her eyes full of anticipation.

"If you don't let it, will you still have to go on a hunger strike?" On Monday, he had already returned to the office of the government, and he did not follow to inspect the shipyard, there were only two people in the carriage, and Hong Tao simply sat next to Terry, and he was very close.

“…… You men are all horned deer, and there are only doe in your eyes. I don't go on a hunger strike, I can come at night if you want, so can I get on a hot air balloon? Princess Terry didn't dodge at all, revealing the essence of the man in a tone of a passerby, and happily agreed to something more essential.

"Your Highness is not afraid that this official will be abandoned in chaos?" originally wanted to tease others, but was countered by the army, and Hong Tao also wanted to save some face.

"Khitan women who are abandoned by men do not cry, they will kill competitors with short knives and take men back. Zhou Signing can't beat me, unless you help her! It's a pity that Hong Tao still lost in the second game, Terry is not a mouthful, he said so naturally and seriously.

"How does Your Highness know that this official likes Zhou to sign the judgment, what she told you?" Hong Tao didn't plan to tease this fierce princess anymore, due to the difference in living habits, she thought it was very simple, and she couldn't take advantage of it at all, even if it was lip service.

"The same is true of the deer, horses, cattle, sheep and wolves of the grasslands, and they know at a glance whether it is time to mate or not. People are the same as them, Zhou is a woman of the Southern Dynasty, she will not speak, she will only wait stupidly. ”

Princess Terry's answer was still so back to basics, it seemed vulgar at first glance, but it was full of philosophy when she pondered it carefully. Different living environments create different modes of thinking, such as Jews, Tibetans, and Han Chinese, and it is difficult to say who is good and who is bad.

"Then His Highness thinks that the official will not stab her with a knife if he takes Lord Zhou by his side!"

Hong Tao really wants to communicate well with this Khitan princess, although he doesn't plan to marry her, but he still has to get along for a while, and the more he understands each other, he can reduce the trouble, especially the misunderstanding that the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out at every turn.

"The goddess has divined for the palace, and she can give birth to four sons in the future, as long as you can give my son the same status as other sons, I won't kill her!" Some people are born strong, and Princess Terry's every word is inseparable from life and death, and she is such a person.

"It's late today, and I'll get in a hot air balloon tomorrow. Now let's talk about what to eat at night, do you want to eat shabu mutton? Hong Tao is convinced, stop this topic, and change the princess likes to see it.

"Okay, there's sweet garlic, I want a jar!" Princess Terry's eating habits are also very unique, she doesn't like to eat rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, and especially hates dumplings, but she has a soft spot for barbecue and shabu-shabu.

The most favorite is mutton with sugar and garlic, a person can eat four or five catties of mutton slices and more than a dozen heads of sugar garlic. But Hong Tao is usually very reluctant to give her sweet garlic, because she doesn't like to brush her teeth, and one mouth is the smell of garlic overnight, Bei'er pure!
