As soon as I walked out of the workshop, I saw so many people greeting me. I was moved and had a headache. I knew that these people were standing in front of me, not only because of his young master who was in seclusion, but also because of other miscellaneous things...

Lying in the warm bathtub, Cai Huang was closing his eyes and enjoying the peaceful moment before the rare storm. A slight sound came from his ears. He couldn't help but turn to look and saw Lunong walking in with a pile of clean clothes.

"Just let Shiqi do it, why are you annoying?"

Lunong gave him a blank look, put his clothes on the chair bench beside him, and walked behind with a towel...

"Do you think I'm willing to scrub your little brat?"

"I don't want you to come in? Are you women both verbal?

Cai Yan felt the momentum behind him suddenly increased by two points, and said dissatisfiedly: "You have rubbed her skin!"

"You deserve it! Who made you a little brat mess with women everywhere?" Lunon said dissatisfied, but his hand was a little lighter.

Cai Yan sighed in his heart and said with a wry smile: "You are looking for trouble for nothing. You are a wife, much older than them. Even if you have children in the future, you will have them first. Everything on Zhennan Island will only be inherited by your children. Don't you know your husband's helplessness, and you are still jealous of them?"

Lunong raised one palm and pretended to slap Cai Hua's little head. Finally, he picked up the wooden spoon in the bathtub, poured it on a scoop of water, and rubbed it randomly on his head with soap, as if he was venting something.

"You're so embarrassed to say to me... why don't you tell me how you cheated people? First, I lied to my grandma, then I cheated Xiao Fujin, and then Niu Niu... Are you just cheating women and working hard for you, and forced others to say your good things?"

“…”

Cai Yan was speechless, his body slid into the water, and his hands scratched his head, making Lu Nong laugh...

"Wow..."

"well……"

Cai Yanren was stingy and lay in the bathtub and sighed: "One thing can probably make you talk about for the rest of your life. I'm too lazy to explain what the situation in the shipyard is. The two town-class battleships need to speed up."

Lunon knew that there were some things that he couldn't blame him. He wanted to continue to talk about the matter of Tsui Liuqiu Island, but he still didn't continue to say words he didn't like. After a while, he said, "The two ships are too big. They will probably not be launched at the end of the year and will be used in May and June next year."

Listening to her words, Cai Yan knew that this was the fastest construction speed? Or he said helplessly: "Two thousand people built two large ships? It has been prepared for seven years in self-government, and many such cables and canvas are done by Hangzhou merchants... Three years has been too long..."

Lunon said dissatisfiedly: "The town-level ship is an eight thousand-material ship? The shipmakers have built at most five thousand-material ships in the past? It would be good to build such a large ship in three years. I heard from the craftsmen that it was like this for the first time, and it won't take so long in the future."

Cai Yan knew that the "Town" class heavy warship was a battleship? It was sixty-six meters long, eighteen meters wide, five masts, fifty meters high? Four layers above and below? Eighty-six gun positions... It was not surprising that this large ship was built for three years. According to traditional dry wood, it took a year to experiment with it. It took only half a year for one "burial and baking" technology. It was successful after several failures, not to mention that it was a super warship built with a load of 8,000 materials.

The 8,000-foot warship is loaded with 8,000 stones, because it is an ocean-going heavy warship? The hull is even larger than the same-class grain transport flatbed. Calculated by one person's weight of 140 kilograms, after removing the weight of one thousand people, there is about 800,000 kilograms of load left, which is calculated as 86 kilograms of 1,000 kilograms of grain per door? Based on one person's monthly grain and 100 kilograms of fresh water? A large ship can only float on the sea for three to four months unless it can supply grain and fresh water along the way.

The Qianjin cannon is quite heavy, but it is not actually very big. Of course, it is impossible for them to be all Qianjin cannons, but the total weight of the designed cannon is fixed, and it is impossible for sea navigation to carry only food and fresh water. The voyage to sea alone must be shortened again unless there are corresponding accompanying supply ships and there are enough supply points along the way.

Lunon presided over the construction, but she didn't understand much about this. Launching the water and testing voyage does not mean that she has much combat power. She needs frigates, wanting supply ships similar to merchant ships, and also ocean-going ships of the same level as town-level, otherwise she would not be able to form an ocean-going fleet together.

Cai Li was so worried that two thousand craftsmen, although they could provide free food, clothing, housing and transportation on the island, and the cost of living was many times lower than that of Song State, in order to attract more ship craftsmen from Song State to come to work, or to resist less when they seize people again in the turmoil of Song State in the future, the craftsmen's wages were still paid according to the wages of Song State, and they would send their money to their relatives in Song State every year. The only requirement was to serve him for ten years before they could allow them to return to Song State.

Ten years, what will Song Guohui become in ten years? Who can know that Cai Yan believes that in ten years, there will never be many people leaving the two thousand shipwrecks, but the financial pressure of the two thousand shipwrecks is still unbearable.

Thinking about the price of hundreds of thousands of pounds per ship, Cai Yan felt helpless and bitter, but this is reality.

"well……"

Cai Yan sighed deeply. Lunong seemed to know what he was worried about. After receiving the affirmative answer he wanted, he was unwilling to bother him about Zhao Fujin and Yu Liyan's questions, but just talked about the shipyard.

Cai Yan thought about it for a long time, but hesitated for a long time and said, "The construction speed of the ship is still a little slower, and two more shipyards need to be built. The Longjiang Shipyard will not move for the time being, but you have to prepare. Regardless of whether the shipmaker wants to, he must accept another 5,000 people as apprentices and build three more shipyards in the next three years!"

Lunon hesitated and said, "If there are additional boatmen, will the village be dissatisfied?"

Cai Yan knew what she was worried about, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel bitter. Even the boatman was the lowest-level small workers, and the master craftsman had a consistent amount of money every month, and the wages were ten times or even more. Except for the craftsmen under the Longjiang Shipyard, the rest of the craftsmen were prisoners. Logically speaking, the prisoners did not need any wages, and even if there were, they were far lower than the boatman in the Song Dynasty. After all, there was not much commercial behavior in Zhennan Island, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation were provided for free in the old village.

However, in order to attract more craftsmen in the Song State, they could only give the same benefits as those in the Song State. It seems that the benefits were the same, but in fact, the Longjiang Shipyard earned much more than the ship craftsmen of the same level in the Song State. In addition to being unable to return to Song State, the ship craftsmen were actually quite satisfied with the treatment paid by Cai Yan, but this high treatment made the entire Nanyang Protectorate dissatisfied, thinking that he treated the craftsmen too much.

Cai Yan was worried, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, putting Longjiang Shipyard into Suhe Trading is our own industry. In the future, the grain, cloth and other products produced by the old village will be purchased by Suhe Trading. In this way, there should be no reason for others to be dissatisfied, right?"

Just as Lunon was about to speak, "Is it cost too much?", Cai Yan said again: "The people sent by Xiaoqi this time are all slaves from our family in Liao Kingdom. Two thousand years old were drawn from them to join the shipyard. The teachers should also be equipped with corresponding staff. Apprentices are not allowed to not study. Remember, the craftsmen in Longjiang Shipyard are not important. What is important is that the apprentices we train are the future of Zhennan Island, and we should pay special attention to them."

Lunon knew that he attached great importance to his apprentices, so Zheng Xintou said: "Don't worry, the Water Primary School will arrange everything."

"Um."

Cai Yan nodded slightly, and felt a headache. One hole after another. He thrust into the water, and he didn't care whether he had exposed his butt in front of her. He looked at her with a little dodging eyes and couldn't help but make a joke.

"Why don't we get the house done tonight?"

"Repay the house... If you want to complete the house, you will complete the house! Are you still afraid that you will be a little brat?"

"Well……"

Looking at the woman with her chest raised and stared at her, Cai Hua became a frustrated general who bowed his head and his head...
Chapter completed!
