Chapter 425: The Craftsman Arrives

Half a month of busy time passed in a flash. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Taking advantage of the fact that there was not much government affairs during this time, he concentrated on basically refining Qingzhou's industry with Chen Wenlong.

For Xiao Ming, his goal is to build an entire industrial system that will provide all the basic materials to continuously turn technological items into reality.

Because of this, in view of Qingzhou's current weak industrial base, it has begun to refine and upgrade, so that this step will be formalized.

After he and Chen Wenlong had completed this work, Li Kaiyuan returned smoothly from Chudi, arriving at the Tuojiang Wharf with 300 large merchant ships and 200 medium-sized merchant ships, as well as 20,000 craftsmen.

In addition, 13,000 craftsmen from the imperial court also arrived in Qingzhou the next day under the supervision of Qin Chengming.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, today is really a double happiness."

Qin Rui got off the boat and kept arching his hand to Xiao Ming, this time he arrived in Qingzhou with Qin Chengming.

Xiao Ming was a little stunned when he saw Qin Rui's cheap smile on his face, he didn't expect this guy to appear here, he couldn't help but say, "Qin Rui, why are you here." ”

Qin Chengming also got off the boat at this time and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, this time it is the lower official who came with a dog, I hope His Highness can bring him to teach by his side." ”

"The words of the young eunuch are outside, this king and Qin Rui have known each other since childhood, and this teaching is not daring." Xiao Ming said.

Qin Chengming continued: "Your Highness is modest, now His Highness is famous, and the dog is still unknown, the lower official knows that His Royal Highness attaches great importance to craftsmanship and skills, so he let the dog come to Qingzhou, after all, he continues to stay in Chang'an, he can only stay in this Qingshui Yamen and do nothing, it is better to let him learn something from His Royal Highness, and share his worries and work for His Highness." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, this Qin Chengming, like Luo Quan, clearly wanted to push his son to himself, maybe in their opinion, their son would have a better future in Qingzhou.

Qin Rui is his best friend, loyalty is no problem, and the investigation of the secret guard also proves that this is the case, and the Qin family is also doing their best in the shipyard this time.

Moreover, Qin Chengming is in charge of the handicraft industry of Dayu State, which is equivalent to the Minister of Industry in modern terms, and has rich experience in the management of handicraft industry in Dayu State.

This Qin Rui naturally understands something, and now he is refining the industry and forming his own Shaofu Supervisor to govern the industry, and Qin Rui may be a good candidate to cultivate it a little.

After all, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for formulating industry plans and standards, monitoring the daily operation of the industrial industry, and promoting technological development.

So he said: "The young eunuch is polite, Qin Rui and this king have always been good, and this king is asking for it." ”

Qin Chengming and Qin Rui glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both smiled, Qin Rui said: "Dad, I said that His Royal Highness will definitely not refuse, I must still be of some use in Qingzhou." ”

"Don't be complacent, in the future, you should try your best to be loyal to His Highness in Qingzhou, and don't be confused." Qin Chengming lectured.

Qin Rui nodded heavily when he heard this.

Xiao Ming smiled silently, this Qin Chengming sent Qin Rui to Qingzhou, which is equivalent to tying himself up with Qingzhou, this time it is a shipyard, next time he may need Qin Chengming to transfer other handicrafts to Qingzhou.

He has already received news from Fiji, Xiao Wenxuan supports himself everywhere just like he supported the original King of Wei, so he has to find a way to drag all the royal industrial resources to his fiefdom.

After all, his fiefdom was at this time, like the modern special economic zone, and it was a key object of care.

After saying hello, Xiao Ming looked at the fleet that had blocked the dock and was still stretching far away, and at this time, the shipyard craftsmen from the ship were constantly coming down.

"Your Highness, in addition to sending craftsmen this time, the lower officials also sent some of the tools of the shipyard, lest Your Highness rebuild the tools, and these craftsmen are the core craftsmen of the shipyard, and they have the skills to build merchant ships independently, as long as Your Highness gives them the drawings, they can start construction immediately." Qin Chengming said.

Xiao Ming nodded, in the end, there are people in the court who are easy to do, this Qin Chengming has done things quite beautifully.

"Thank you Shaofu Supervisor, so with the 20,000 people of the King of Chu, this king can set up three large-scale shipyards this time." Xiao Ming said.

Now there are more than 10,000 people under Zhang Liang's command, and now there are more than 30,000 people, which is equivalent to instantly increasing Qingzhou's shipbuilding capacity by three times, so that he can launch more than 60 warships in a year, after all, the shipyard is now because of the construction of first-class sail and second-class sail warships.

If it were to build a three-class warship, the shipyard would have been able to launch twenty Galen ships.

The three of them talked all the way to a large merchant ship from Chudi, because the merchant ships from Chudi this time are too much, and the merchant ships will arrive in several batches one after another, and the first batch has already come yesterday, and this is the second batch.

"Your Highness, this boat is really long enough, at least seventy paces." Qin Rui got on the boat and sighed.

In Chang'an, large merchant ships are often berthed, but these merchant ships are generally only 50 paces long.

Xiao Ming said: "Because these merchant ships are sea ships, they are larger in size and can resist wind and waves at sea. ”

This time, Xiao Ming asked Li Kaiyuan to go to Chudi and specially instructed him to choose a sea boat, because what he needed was a ship to cross the ocean, and a medium-sized ship would be enough for a freshwater ship.

"Sea vessels? No wonder His Royal Highness wants so many shipbuilders, could it be that His Royal Highness wants to drive the Dutch away, hehe, if His Royal Highness defeats the Dutch, the face of the King of Chu does not know where to put it. Qin Rui sneered.

Xiao Ming did not deny that since Qin Rui was going to live in Qingzhou, sooner or later he would know about it.

While the three of them were talking, Li Kaiyuan walked over from the bow of the ship at this time, and he said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, the first batch of craftsmen have boarded the ship, do you want to set off for Dengzhou now." ”

"Let's go." Xiao Ming said.

Now, many craftsmen got off the ship and boarded another ship to Dengzhou, the reason why Xiao Ming was like this was to disrupt and regroup all these craftsmen, so as to avoid too many craftsmen in the same place in one shipyard, which was also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After receiving Xiao Ming's order, Li Kaiyuan ordered fifty large merchant ships docked on the shore to set off.

In Dengzhou, Zhang Liang would be responsible for arranging these craftsmen and leading them to form the second, third, and fourth shipyards in Dengzhou.

Looking at the merchant ship slowly sailing away from the dock, Xiao Ming nodded him with satisfaction, and he said to Qin Chengming and Qin Rui: "Shaofu Supervisor, it is better to visit Qingzhou for a few more days after this long-distance trip to Qingzhou and see the face of Qingzhou. ”

Qin Rui's settlement in Qingzhou this time was a good start for Xiao Ming, which showed that the magnates of the Great Chongqing Kingdom had the willingness to settle in Qingzhou, and he naturally hoped that Qingzhou would become more and more prosperous.
