For the obviously unreliable iron ship, the soft sailing ship drawn by Li Yuanba on paper is obviously more credible.

A group of craftsmen who were proficient in shipbuilding gathered around, and one by one they widened their eyes, carefully looking at the overall picture and details of the sailboat drawn by Li Yuanba, and at the same time, they were not idle, and began to chatter and discuss.

In fact, for them, if they have a ship to do, they should have fun, after all, they are just shipbuilders, and they have to do what their boss says, where is the qualification to pick and choose.

After a while, Li Yuanba saw that everyone's discussion gradually subsided, so he put down the teacup in his hand and stepped forward and said, "Everyone, how is the discussion?" ”

"Lord Wang, although Xia Guan is not familiar with the sailing ship you just designed, through the conversation with the two Chang adults, with Dengzhou's shipbuilding ability at the moment, this kind of ship can still be made!"

Mo Chengfei showed a happy look on his face.

After all, before they came to Dengzhou, they only estimated the manufacturing time of the subway kayak, and with Datang's current shipbuilding capacity, they could build iron boats.

But because of the power problem, it will take a long time.

As for this sailboat, there is no material limit, and it can still be manufactured in terms of Datang's current shipbuilding capacity, but because the manufacturing capacity is different in different places, Mo Chengfei discussed it with the craftsmen of these shipyards, and then made a conclusion.

"Hehe......"

Li Yuanba laughed and said, "This king said before, in terms of our current ability of Datang. You can make this sailboat! ”

Li Yuanba was very happy when he heard Mo Chengfei's affirmative answer.

At present, Datang's navigation technology is only in its infancy. For example, the current voyages are only offshore voyages, and there is no ability to carry out ocean voyages at all.

And the soft sailing ship that Li Yuanba took out today, which is an extremely excellent ocean-going vessel, as long as it is promoted, it will definitely make Datang's ocean-going world a big step forward.

In fact, as far as Li Yuanba is concerned, Li Shimin will sooner or later have to walk out of the Tang Dynasty and out of East Asia. It was only a matter of time before he entered the ocean, and Li Yuanba just advanced this time a little.

Time passed in a hurry, and Li Yuanba chatted happily with a group of craftsmen. When it was almost noon, Li Yuanba directly asked people to go to the city to buy some good wine and food, and ate directly with everyone in the main hall of the shipyard.

While everyone was having their best of eating, a salty aroma of seafood wafted in from outside the main hall.

The smell is huge. It's like cooking a lot of seafood.

"What does it smell like? It smells so good! Li Yuanba shrugged his nose. Said.

Chang Sansheng, who was sitting at the wine table a little stiffly, laughed when he heard this, and said, "Back to the prince's words, it is the kitchen in our shipyard that is cooking!" ”

"Oh? Are the shipbuilders going to eat? Li Yuanba put down the wine cup in his hand when he heard this, and said, "Smelling this aroma, it should be cooking some seafood, right?" ”

Chang Sansheng shook his head slightly, and said, "It's all fresh from the sea, and we are also using local materials, which is not a good thing!" ”

"Isn't that right? There is fresh seafood every meal. Isn't that good? Li Yuanba laughed and put down the chopsticks in his hand. While standing up, he said, "Even this king is a little hungry when he smells this fragrance!" Let's go, take this king to see! ”

The people at the table had no choice but to stand up and walk towards the kitchen next to the main hall with Li Yuanba.

The kitchen, but it's actually a shipyard dining room, with lots of tall wooden tables and stools, which looks like it can feed at least five hundred people at the same time.

……

In the restaurant, Li Yuanba took the lead, and the craftsmen appeared in the restaurant one after another, they didn't know Li Yuanba, and they squeezed in the direction of the kitchen one by one with some nervousness.

Because of what? Hungry!

Li Yuanba walked to the front of the restaurant, but found that inside the window were huge wooden barrels, which contained milky white fish soup and some large dishes made of miscellaneous fish and shrimp.

As for the other wooden barrels, they contained fist-sized dough cakes with some black dough.

"Give me a copy!" Li Yuanba pointed to the steaming aroma of the food in the bucket and said to the cook in charge of distributing the rice.

Chang Sansheng, who was following behind, wanted to stop it, but when he saw that the cook had already handed the food to Li Yuanba, he shook his head and retreated.

Coming to a long table, Li Yuanba grabbed a hot shrimp and threw it into his mouth.

Before he could chew two bites, his brows were wrung up.

There is no other reason, this shrimp is quite big, but it has no taste at all, and it can even be said that there are no basic seasonings and chopped green onions, garlic or something, dry, how to eat this thing? Not the slightest bit of taste!

Shaking his head, Li Yuanba thought that the cook had forgotten to put the seasoning, so he picked up the obviously black dough and took a bite.

Okay!

After chewing a few bites, I didn't feel anything, but when I got to the throat, I got stuck there directly, and it was difficult to swallow, and the feeling was not eating bread, as if I was swallowing sand.

"In the shipyard, the craftsmen eat this every day?" Li Yuanba pointed to what he had just eaten, and there was obviously dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Lord Wang, even if the meal in our shipyard is in Dengzhou, it is the best!"

Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Chang Sansheng and Chang Baisheng's faces became bitter, but they still had to be justified when it was time to justify. Even if Your Royal Highness the Martial King is dissatisfied, you can't hide what you should say.

"Huh?" Li Yuanba's emotions still couldn't be raised, his face sank, and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant on his body naturally emanated, "What do you say?" ”

"Lord Wang!" Chang Sansheng arched his hand to Li Yuanba and said: "It's not that our shipyard is unwilling to raise the dietary standards for the workers, but it's really that the income of our shipyard is just enough to supply the manufacture of military ships.......

"Forget about those staple foods, can't you even afford seasonings, green onions, garlic and so on?" In Li Yuanba's opinion, these things are very cheap, and if you really can't do it, you can still cultivate it yourself, how can it be so difficult?

"Lord Wang, you don't know, the shipyard only provides one meal a day, that is to say, this noon meal is their meal for a day!" After being silent for a long time, Chang Sansheng still confided this fact.

“……”

Li Yuanba was silent because he suddenly found that he had nothing to say.

If you don't integrate into the people and don't know the suffering of the people, now it seems that if you want to improve the living environment of the people and improve their living standards, Datang still has a long way to go! (To be continued......)
