Chapter 80: The Little Leap Forward

"I have long heard that Wei is rich, but now it seems that we still seriously underestimate the King of Wei. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Pang Yukun stood beside Xiao Ming, the shadow of the sail warship flashed in his eyes, revealing a faint layer of worry.

"Not to mention King Wei, no vassal king will be as downtrodden as this king, but we don't have to be arrogant, as long as we are down-to-earth, it is only a matter of time before we surpass them." Xiao Ming said confidently.

One hundred thousand slaves, three million stone of food, this is another catalyst for him, enough to make his plan move forward quickly.

Pang Yukun opened his mouth, he wanted to say that the most lacking thing now is time, but the words stopped when he reached his mouth, the future is unpredictable, who can say anything.

If God blesses King Qi, it will naturally be smooth sailing in the future.

This time Chen Qi and Chen Wenlong both came over, and at the same time there was Zhang Liang, at this time Zhang Liang said: "These warships are all warships built by the Ding family shipyard in Jinling City, when my father was reincarnated in the past, we went there to see it, it is indeed larger than our shipyard, and there are many craftsmen who are proficient in the construction of warships." ”

"Don't be ambitious and destroy your own prestige, the warship drawings given to you by this king are not weak." Xiao Ming said.

"Your Highness is right." Zhang Liang was still amazed by Xiao Ming's warship drawings, "This time, His Highness allocated 10,000 slaves to the shipyard, our manpower is really enough, and I promise that we can launch five Galen ships this year." “

Xiao Ming nodded, "That's fine." ”

When the shipyard was restored, Xiao Ming did not provide too much labor for the shipyard, but gave a large number of slaves to the workshop area, in his opinion, only when the production capacity of the workshop area was improved, this could provide sufficient spare parts for the shipyard in the future.

Now 100,000 slaves have entered Qingzhou, and the labor in his hands is sufficient, and he allocated it to the shipyard for the first time.

10,000 people build five Galen ships a year, and the cooperation of the workshop area is basically no problem.

After receiving the first batch of supplies and slaves, Xiao Ming and Zhang Liang went to the shipyard, for so long, Zhang Liang and others have been restoring the facilities in the shipyard, and now they have been restored.

Arriving at the shipyard in the lower reaches of the Tuojiang River, Xiao Ming saw some craftsmen making the keel of the Galen ship, which was the main supporting structure of the Galen ship, similar to the beams of the house.

Seeing the craftsmen busy running on the riverbank, Xiao Ming suddenly remembered something, he said: "There is one thing that this king has forgotten, our shipyard still lacks one thing?" ”

"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." Zhang Liang was puzzled.

Xiao Ming said slowly: "Dry dock." ”

"Dry dock?" Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment.

Xiao Ming didn't expect Zhang Liang to understand, so he explained that this dry dock was actually a building structure similar to a production workshop.

It's just that this structure is used to produce sail ships, closed on three sides and adjacent to the water, and the ships are built in dry docks, which can also be used for future repairs.

The installation of various construction equipment on both sides of the dry dock can be easily constructed, and even in modern times, the dry dock is still an indispensable facility for the construction of ships.

Xiao Ming naturally did not expect to be able to build a modern level of dry docks, but it was simple that he could, and he also did this to regulate the shipbuilding industry of the Great Yu Kingdom, which could greatly speed up the production of Galen ships.

Zhang Liang's family has been building ships for generations, and when this concept came out, he immediately understood, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, if this kind of dry dock is built, it can be standardized and mass-produced Galen ships." ”

"That's right, each tonnage of sail warships needs different dry docks, so let's do it, you come to me when you're free, and I'll teach you some shipbuilding knowledge." Xiao Ming said.

Zhang Liang nodded, looking excited, Xiao Ming showed him unprecedented shipbuilding technology, which was a new page in the history of shipbuilding for him.

The shipyard in Dayu is actually a simple shed, with some carpentry equipment inside, and Xiao Ming is really not interested in such a shipyard.

After a brief look, he left, and asked Zhang Liang to go to the Bowen Hall to study, now that he has enough manpower, his plans can be implemented, otherwise like the Galen ship, he will have to delay.

When he arrived at the palace, Xiao Ming was not idle, but wrote down the knowledge in his mind and turned it into one textbook after another.

These textbooks include mathematics, chemistry, physics, and a variety of technical materials.

He wants to use these technical materials to build the Bowen Hall into the first modern comprehensive university in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and provide a steady stream of talents for Qingzhou.

In fact, as long as you can understand vernacular characters, traditional Chinese characters are naturally not a problem, so Xiao Ming mainly teaches vernacular characters.

In the next few days, the slaves that the King of Wei promised to Xiao Ming arrived one after another, and Xiao Ming distributed 70,000 of these slaves to the workshop area, and the remaining 20,000 to the mines.

With the arrival of 100,000 slaves, coupled with the slaves that Liang Dahai continued to sell, the workshop area, which had received a large amount of labor, began to expand under Xiao Ming's instructions.

First of all, the steel mill expanded its production scale, Xiao Ming increased the number of workers in the steel mill to 30,000, which is already the number of workers in a large steel mill in modern times.

But here, the production capacity formed by these 30,000 people is only equivalent to a small steel mill, but for Xiao Ming, this is enough for the time being.

Of the remaining 40,000 people, most of them were given to lathe workshops, and the rest were given to breweries, perfume workshops, cement workshops and other workshops.

After the distribution of 100,000 people, the industrial park was immediately expanded under the leadership of Chen Wenlong, and a large industrial zone will slowly stand up in the north of Qingzhou.

"Your Highness, these slaves are mixed, and they were sent by King Wei, I am afraid that there will inevitably be restless people mixed in with them." The grand occasion of 100,000 people building the workshop area is very rare.

This time there was a lot of movement, and Pang Yukun, who had never been interested in the workshop area, also came over.

"Of course I know that." Xiao Ming looked at the slaves who were pushing the sand and building the cement factory and said: "The people on the left and right guards have arranged for people to monitor these slaves, and anyone who is restless will be killed, so as to ensure that he cannot leave the workshop area." ”

Pang Yukun nodded, Xiao Ming's methods became more and more ruthless, but this is the quality that a hero should have, be generous to his own people and cruel to his enemies.

"By the way, Your Highness, I have already thought of the location of the Bowen Hall, the only place in Qingzhou City that is suitable for building the Bowen Hall is Liuyunfang in the west of the city, there are only a few ordinary families in that place, just resettle it with some silver."
