Unable to think of a good name, Liu Xiang gave up on himself and forcibly decided on the ship types as Swordfish Battleship and Sailfish Battleship.
The small one is called swordfish and the big one is called swordfish.
Others looked down upon him for having a bad name, but he also looked down upon their names.
Crab boat, big wing boat, black carp boat, flat building boat, big fighting boat, those are all ridiculous names, they are not as good as the centipede boat he originally thought.
The name of the warship is decided like this!
The shipwright presented another drawing of a shipping cargo ship. This one was simpler, only an idea, and could not be built for the time being. It needed to be tried out and explored in the process to accumulate technology for building larger ships in the future.
Strive to have a length of thirty feet, a width of seven feet, and a side height of five and a half feet, that is, a length of 70 meters, a width of 16 meters, and a side height of 12 meters. With three masts and no oars, the empty ship enters the water two feet, and the fully loaded ship enters the water three and a half feet.
, one floor warehouse, two floors of cargo warehouses, and another layer of cargo warehouses on the deck. It is expected to carry more than 1,500 stone and has a crew of 20 to 50 people.
Liu Xiang imagined a big, wide, fat ship in his mind, and wanted to name it Fathead Fish, which made the shipwrights immediately remonstrate with him.
Then forget it.
The name was not determined, but he put forward new requirements: "Since we are exploring a new ship, we should try to raise the mast to more than twelve feet, and find ways to optimize the rigging for hanging sails so that the sails can catch more wind.
In order to increase the sailing speed.”
Just like this fat boat, if the performance of the sail and rope system is not improved, it will be so slow that you will doubt your life.
After the ship type was decided, the shipyard in Haiyang alone could not meet the needs of the two warships. Considering the supply of wood and materials, Dashi County in the Liaodong Peninsula was a good choice.
Dashi County is located near modern Dalian.
There happens to be Yunfanying's water village there, which can provide protection. It is the starting point of the north-south route and the middle section of the east-west route. It is also connected by a cement avenue that runs through Liaodong. There is also a bay to avoid wind and waves and provide berthing for the fleet.
"Build a new shipyard near the bay in the southeast of Dashi County, and dig twelve dry docks for shipbuilding and ship repair." Liu Xiang ordered.
The shipyard could not be built immediately, so he also ordered: "All shipwrights and their families who migrated from Yangzhou will be entered into the prison yellow list. They will first go to Haiyang Shipyard to work on duty, familiarize themselves with the work of the shipyard, and provide guidance on shipbuilding technology. According to the actual situation,
Evaluate the level of craftsmen, and then assign personnel to take up their posts after the Da's Shipyard is completed."
After the shipwright's arrangements were completed, the sailors and soldiers brought over by Liu Yu were not spared. They were assessed by Yunfan Camp, and those who passed the test were incorporated into the fleet. Those who were eliminated were divided into fields in Jizhou, and their families were helped by the official to settle down.
Liu Yu could not withstand repeated invitations and joined Liu Xiang's camp.
This person cannot be appointed casually. He is one of the two existing state shepherds. Liu Xiang went to the imperial court and Liu Yu was appointed as the shepherd of Jizhou.
As for how to explain the move from Yangzhou to Jizhou? Naturally, he scolded Yuan Shao for a while in the performance, and then Fatty Dong happily approved the appointment of Jizhou Mu, and also added the title of General Zhengdong, the holiday, and the Kaifu Yitong Three Divisions
, Jinjue Tanhou.
This damn fat guy is quite scheming.
The purpose of opening the mansion during the holidays was to build up Liu Yu's power on Liu Xiang's territory. It is self-evident what the purpose was.
General Zhengdong was given the power to recruit troops.
As for Tanhou, he was targeting Yuan Shao.
The governance of Xuzhou is located in Tan County, and Liu Yu's hometown is also in Tan County. This feudal prince is disgusted with Yuan Benchu and wants to provoke antagonism between Jizhou and Xuzhou.
Liu Xiang guessed that this should be Liu Ai's plan.
This strategy has no solution and targets the hearts and minds of everyone in the entire force. Even if Yuan Shao, Liu Yu and themselves see through his sinister intentions, what about the three subordinates? What do they think? No one can tell.
When there are more people, all kinds of thoughts will arise. As time goes by, all kinds of things will happen. People’s hearts are fickle!
This is one of the benefits of Emperor Niao's ordering the princes. The conspiracy cannot be solved.
Those who play politics are so dirty!
Liu Xiang swore that he would look for an opportunity to kill him later.
Then he put Liu Yu's office under his nose.
The Beicheng District of Ye County is still under construction and will have to wait several months to be completed. However, the Nancheng District is already running out of space, mainly because of the lack of government offices.
Liu Xiang's Cavalry General's Mansion, Liu Yu's Jizhou Mufu, Zhao Yun's Wei County Prefect's Mansion, and Yuan Ba's Ye County County Office, plus Si Xuan, Thief Cao, Cang Cao, Bing Cao, and the secretary of the bookstore
The prison's library house.
More than half of the city was occupied.
There were also many students who came south from the Zhuoxian Academy and scholars who came here for their reputation. Nancheng became more and more crowded. This was because Liu Yu had not opened a government, recruited subordinate officials and recruited soldiers, otherwise it would have been even more crowded.
The two new cities, with a population of 160,000 people, are very busy and it is estimated that they will not be able to move in until the end of the year.
Liu Yu began to take over the government affairs of Jizhou. When he saw 200,000 people building embankments, 160,000 people building cities, and 50,000 to 60,000 people building roads, he went crazy.
The daily consumption of 13,000 shi of grain and the monthly wages of more than 2 million yuan would last for several months. This does not include the cost of various materials. Jizhou's taxes are so low that it cannot be afforded.
Every day I owe Youzhou for food and money from the general's mansion.
The food came from Changpingcang in Youzhou, and the money was allocated from Liu Xiang's private treasury. How could he be owed a whole lot of famine as soon as he took office?
But these projects cannot be stopped. Nancheng is not enough and a new city is needed. The bookstore is a major cultural and educational event. Repairing the embankment of the Yellow River is a great merit. Needless to say, building roads is of great use to the army and the people.
Jizhou has a population of more than 4.8 million and more than 500,000 hectares of farmland. The food and beverage tax has been cancelled. One tax per ten for upper fields, one per fifteen for lower fields, thirty per tax for livestock, fishing and hunting, and one per thirty for large transactions.
In the past few years, the production in the north has been reduced. This year's land rent will probably be 6 to 7 million dan. Next year it will be better, and more paddy fields will be replaced.
Commercial taxes are unpredictable and fluctuate too much. There were frequent wars last year, so there is no reference value.
But after several projects are completed, you will owe Youzhou more than 3 million shi in food, more than 10 million in wages from the General's Mansion, and hundreds of millions in materials. This is not easy to handle.
You have to think of ways to make money.
Mining areas, workshops, salt and iron, porcelain, lacquer, etc., are all Liu Xiang's private property. All the money has gone into his private treasury, and Jizhou has no money to make.
Liu Yu thought about it for a long time and finally decided to develop the folk cloth and silk industry and encourage the planting of linen and weaving, raising silkworms, reeling silk, weaving silk, and related embroidery industries.
He has no money, but there are people who have money. There are still some scholars in the territory. Their land has been taken back, but their family wealth is still there.
"When someone comes, write a letter to the heads of each family, telling them that I want to show them a way to make a living for their families."
Liu Yu had a high reputation and was invited by Liu Xiang. Most of the noble family heads came to the meeting. Everyone discussed for several days and made a unanimous decision to develop the silk industry.
They can't compete with the General Hussar's workshop for cloth, and they don't dare to compete.
Therefore, after each family returned home, they went to the government to purchase or lease barren hills and hills to plant mulberry and raise silkworms. They also contacted contacts in the south to purchase excellent silkworm seeds and prepared to hire people to start a new business.
I used to be frightened by the butcher's knife, so I was cautious every day, not daring to do anything for fear of violating taboos. Now with Liu Jizhou's guarantee, my days of sitting on my butt are finally over.
They worked very hard.
There are many smart people. After receiving the guarantee that they would not be liquidated as long as they did not annex grain fields, pay taxes according to the rules, and abide by the law, they immediately became active. In addition to developing the main business of silk, there are various other things
It can be done.
For example, the greenhouses where farmers raise seedlings can also raise silkworms and grow vegetables.
The color of the cloth in the dyeing room is wrong. I have an exclusive secret recipe. Opening a dyeing room will definitely make money.
Now that people have savings, they can open more butcher shops and wine houses.
The jewelry on the market is too rough. If there are craftsmen and patterns at home, this is a great opportunity.
Wait wait wait.
The nobles and wealthy families who have inherited knowledge and once occupied the upper echelons of society have a much higher starting point than the people at the bottom when they want to do something. They are also much more flexible and easier to do.
Since Liu Yu took charge of Jizhou's civil affairs, Jizhou's private economy has become much more active. Looking at the scholars surrounding the Jizhou Mu, Liu Xiang was not sure where these people would go in the end, but Jizhou saw it become more
It became prosperous.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages, it just depends on the choice.
I want to use Liu Yu to govern the place, but I don't want to bear the hidden dangers that arise. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Just wait patiently. With the army at hand, he is qualified to wait for the test of time.
Time drives everything.
As time went by, the situation in Henan began to become complicated again.
Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji under Niu Fu marched eastward, intending to plunder Yanzhou and Yuzhou.
The Kwantung Allied Forces had dispersed, and the governor of Yuzhou, Kong Min, was the first to suffer the unlucky fate. Who made him the closest? The Liangzhou Army rushed into Yingchuan, and Kong Min was defeated and killed. The rebels plundered the place, and the corpses of scholars and Guizhou heads were everywhere.
When a military disaster strikes, where is the distinction between high and low?
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, took the initiative to attack, trying to cut off the enemy's retreat, but was killed by Guo Si in front of the battle, and more than half of the 50,000-strong army was lost.
