The shipyard construction plan was quickly put on Li Sheng's agenda.
That's right, this time... it wasn't Li Er who came forward to do it, but Li Sheng who built the shipyard himself.
Originally, Li Sheng had no intention of coming here. His original purpose was just to give himself a whole fishing boat.
You can treat yourself as a cruise ship, after all, the conditions are good now.
But what disappointed Li Sheng was that he learned something after meeting with Lao Du and Lao Wei.
Ma De, because he went to Mobei before and later ran Lingzhou.
Then Lao Wei, a shameless old man, got the inside information and ran back to tell Lao Li and the others on the spot.
So Lao Li directly... directly sold out his family's shipbuilding business!
He said he plans to move his business to Mobei in the future.
Li Sheng was also speechless. These people were worried about the country and the people day by day, but when they saw business opportunities, they ran faster than dogs.
But in this case, Li Sheng's second alternative idea is of course to submit a letter to ask Li Er to pay.
The treasury has a budget, so why not use the treasury?
As a result, after communicating with Lao Wei, Li Sheng learned that the public account—that is, the treasury—had no money recently.
Li Er is spending a lot of money to buy back potatoes and sweet potatoes grown by ordinary people for further promotion.
Li Sheng knew about this, but he really didn't expect to spend so much money.
then……
In the end, it became Li Sheng's decision to open a shipyard first and wait for Li Er to continue to increase investment...
Otherwise, it would be impossible to accomplish this matter if I was the only one who contributed the capital.
You have to know this...
However, if you take a look at a corner of the World Island, the southern border of Eurasia, it is a place that is almost the same size as the European continent.
This does not involve the efforts of the whole country, it is basically just a small fight.
Of course, there is another route, that is, Li Sheng goes out this time and directly alerts all parties.
When he returned with the goods, he would make a fortune in front of the people of the world and with the attention of the entire Tang Dynasty.
In this way, a large number of gentry will find that the income from overseas trade is much higher than the land rent they collect. Next...
By then, no one will doubt the huge benefits of overseas trade.
The first clause of this plan has attracted the attention of all parties...
Li Sheng has no doubt about this.
Li Sheng is now on the outskirts of Hangzhou, in a very desolate hill.
Beyond this hill is the Pacific Ocean.
At the foot of this small hill, there is actually a natural harbor, and it is two sizes smaller than the previous port in the city, with almost half the area.
This is enough for Li Sheng, but rationally speaking, for the Chinese people who are keen on involution, the second means nothing.
In fact, the contrast between the desolation of this small port and the large port before, with fishermen and tourists coming and going, also illustrates this point.
However...
Li Sheng has been observing the port here some time ago and recruiting shipwrights...
After the news spread, crowds of people immediately began to gather near the small port...
There are tourists visiting Hangzhou and farmers living in nearby villages...
In short, idle people from all walks of life suddenly found a new classic and rushed to the area to watch it.
At this time, Li Sheng had not even started building the shipyard, and had not even recruited a few registered craftsmen...
Of course the first one is satisfied, the second one...
Li Sheng is not completely sure now, but at least he has nine legs.
Southeast Asia is located in the tropical subtropics, with a warm climate and high humidity, and extremely rich biosphere populations.
Not to mention that there are a lot of coal, iron ore and various mines in that place. It is really not difficult to make a fortune.
but……
Even if you can do both of these two things, even do them well.
In fact, in the end, it is still difficult to say whether it will induce the landowners and gentry in China to follow suit and jointly explore the overseas world for China.
After all... many conceptual things have become deeply ingrained.
Why go to the windy and rough sea when you can just lie down and collect the land rent?
This day Li Sheng was thinking about how to start building this shipyard.
This matter was originally simple, but something happened recently.
The place is Hangzhou, which is close to the sea and has a good natural harbor. It is the land of plenty and plenty of fish.
It stands to reason that a place like this...
The demand for ships should be huge, and correspondingly, shipbuilders should be everywhere, right?
However, it took a while.
Li Sheng could never recruit shipwrights who knew traditional craftsmanship.
Even the tourists who came here to watch the novelty gradually subsided.
Still, surprisingly there is not one!
Can't find it at all.
This made Li Sheng a little angry. What's going on with Mader recently...
The wood of the mad wood was cut off, and the shipwright could not find it.
Is it so troublesome to do something?
But Li Sheng was also in the same situation. Fortunately, he was a time traveler.
If this were an indigenous businessman in this time and space, you would be like Lao Li and others from before.
I'm afraid it would be really difficult if he didn't have so many old shipwrights who had worked with him over the years and developed a relationship with him.
then……
In the past few days, Li Sheng ordered Ying'er to go to Hangzhou to help him search for shipwrights and people who knew something about the shipbuilding industry.
On the one hand, he also began to trial-produce ships on his own.
actually……
It seems that although Li Sheng has been suffering from not finding a shipwright,...
But it's not because I really have to have a shipwright in this time and space to work for me.
Li Sheng can even say that.
In this time and space, except for some works of art, all craftsmanship, etc., are in front of me...
There is no secret at all!
If nothing else, there is no need for any fancy modern ship theory.
Li Sheng directly used the skills he had used to play with ship models, and he was able to design a large ship easily.
After all, it is just a wooden ship, not a battleship with high-end electric welding or precision machining, or a high-end freighter.
The most important thing is that no one uses this tonnage in modern times... How difficult can it be?
So three days passed and Li Sheng did not leave the house.
Ying'er hasn't been able to contact the shipwright yet, but Li Sheng has already completed the design work...
The remaining part is naturally not difficult.
So Li Sheng recalled Ying'er.
"That's right, you don't need to find a shipwright, an ordinary carpenter will do."
"Just an ordinary carpenter master?"
Ying'er opened her eyes wide in surprise, "How can this be done? Sailing on the sea is a matter of life and death, how can...how can we be so careless?"
"It's really not necessary, just do as I'm told!"
Li Sheng's idea is very simple, it is still industrialization.
The craftsmen of the final assembly... No, now it's time to call them deputy junior engineers. They can be trained slowly, but in general...
Most of the processes, with the design drawings based on three views, no longer require special shipwrights, but only skilled carpenters!
