Chapter 476 You still ask Brother Su Shi for advice!
The top hardwood is ironwood.
And at the beginning of the launch of the ship, Li Sheng had already ordered the carpenters in the shipyard to process some scraps of mast wood into a batch of small things and distributed them to the people who came to watch. This was all part of the plan to generate income from wood.
.
But that being said, Li Sheng does not intend to take action on hardwood first.
After all, ironwood is rare, difficult to grow but has excellent performance, all of which determine that this thing must be protected.
In fact, in previous lives, ironwood was once the best wood for shipbuilding. However, precisely because of lack of protection, this species had gradually become extinct by the end of the Ming Dynasty. The ironwood seen in later generations was basically from India.
of ironwood.
Of course, Li Sheng would not make a second mistake. After all, Datang's navy had not yet been built.
The navy has not said whether to use hardwood or not. How can ordinary maritime merchants touch such strategic materials?
But then again...
Li Sheng couldn't help but worry that there was something special about China...
If this ironwood can be seen everywhere, although there is a risk of being logged out, and it is not small, it may not be so popular.
On the contrary, I now strictly control the sales and harvesting channels of ironwood, which is more likely to attract bees and butterflies. When the wealthy gentry saw that I wiped this thing so rare, they all spent their money to buy it...
Li Sheng may not sell it at that time, but who knows? If other people see how valuable this thing is and start illegally logging it, then things will be bad.
So Li Sheng is still a little worried...
Increase prices and reduce inventory, but the characteristics of the national server are so...
But worries are worries.
After some time, Li Sheng started the timber business.
Because he had many things to do, he did not go into the timber business himself. Instead, he mobilized reliable people from Zicheng Zhai, trained him in timber knowledge for a period of time, and then went to Shiwan Mountain to purchase.
after a while……
Li Sheng still did not move the ships in the port.
It's not that he doesn't want to try sailing the newly built big ship right away - just kidding, what man can resist a beautiful, gorgeous and curvaceous big ship.
But Li Sheng is really worried. After all, wood has great potential in future generations.
If someone fails to see the difference in quality and is fooled, the price difference of tens or even millions may be pocketed by others, which is very evil.
Of course Li Sheng didn't distrust the character of the clerk, otherwise he wouldn't have specially transferred him from Chang'an.
The key is that these woods have a sign-in reward... Of course, you can clearly distinguish them, but even though Ying'er has selected a capable guy to deliver them, his learning ability is definitely not bad, but...
After all, it is an unfamiliar species, so what if there is something wrong with the training during my own training?
When the time came, I brought the wood back and saw that Mud had made a mistake. It was not ironwood at all, not even hardwood...
This huge amount of transshipment fees is equivalent to wasting everything.
And at the same time, if they are sent out to collect wood again, the advertising effect of the small iron and wood furniture that they gave away for free will gradually disappear after that period of time passes.
There is a more dangerous risk.
That is, Li Sheng went to sea in a big ship, and then the clerk came back.
When everyone saw that the wood they brought seemed similar to iron wood, they started selling it.
If it is true, then the matter will be shut down directly, and the good guy will directly commit fraud.
Since ancient times, China has valued promises over life and death. It is absolutely unacceptable to advertise ironwood and sell ordinary wood for money.
So Li Sheng really didn't dare to rest assured, so he kept doing various jobs in the shipyard.
By the way... the installation of a steam engine is not an easy task.
This thing must not have been installed in the cabin, so it was piled into the canal with the big ship. It must have been installed together with other sails, daily necessities, repair parts, small life rafts... and the like.
time, install it together.
There is a link to install the steam turbine in this habitat. As you can imagine, it is not quick and will naturally take a lot of time.
As a result, the big ship "Unit No. 1" gradually stopped in the harbor bay and became a piece of scenery, as if it would never move. It was watched and discussed by the people and tourists passing by, imagining the appearance of this big ship sailing out to sea.
But of course, since this ship will attract onlookers, of course... it will also arouse topics.
While Li Sheng was busy with the shipyard, lumber, sailor training, steam engine installation issues...
While waiting for a lot of things.
the other side.
In the Su family's mansion, there is a quiet flower hall.
Several old men were drinking and chatting with laughter.
The dead men who were investigating the information had just left the mansion, and the smiles on the faces of the old men became more and more complacent.
I saw Wang Jing laughing,
"Can you hear me? Li Sheng's ship... hahahahahaha!"
…
Wang Jing laughed as he talked, and then several old men around him also laughed.
The sound of silk and bamboo is overwhelming, and the dancers are dancing in and out.
There was a lot of laughter!
Zheng Taishan, Li Tiancheng, Lu Changgeng, Cui Baihe, Li Chengqian...this group of people would laugh to death.
Not only are you laughing at Li Sheng, but you are also laughing at yourself!
After bursting into laughter, Cui Baihe held his chest and calmed down his breath, and said with a smile, "Looking at how majestic the big ship was back then, I thought how amazing Li Sheng's ship was."
"The result...is this? Hahahahaha!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Tiancheng also burst out laughing.
"This big ship has been parked in the bay for more than half a month, and it has not been able to sail out yet. This big ship is built like a small city, and it is indeed better than the ship we are waiting for. It's a pity... hahaha
Ha ha ha ha!"
While laughing, Pei Ji looked at Wang Jing with a smile on his face,
"Senior Brother Wang, I don't know what is the condition of our big ship now? I don't know much about sea affairs, so I still need to ask for advice!"
Wang Jing waved his hand with a smile on his face, "Brother Pei, you don't understand this matter. How can I, Wang, who was born in Taiyuan, understand it? We have to ask our Brother Li and Brother Su about this matter!"
As he said this, Wang Jing looked at Li Tiancheng and Su Dashou standing aside.
The eyes of the rest of the people also focused on it.
I saw Li Tiancheng and Su Dashou showing slightly satisfied smiles at the same time,
"It's not like you don't know me, Lao Li. I know how to paint boats, but I don't understand this big boat. You'd better ask Brother Su for advice!"
"Brothers, Su has made a fool of himself now, haha!"
Su Dashou knew that he was the main person in this shipbuilding project and the most knowledgeable about maritime affairs among them all. Naturally, he was responsible for the recent situation of this big ship.
"The ship has been installed recently and is almost completed."
"The ship can carry three hundred soldiers and two hundred sailors. Once it goes to sea, it will be invincible!"
