After sending the military lord away, Su Fan came to the dock. Looking at the busy craftsmen and some apprentices inside, Su Fan was still very satisfied. Within the scope under his control, especially around his military camp, there were many
Although many of the workshops are manual workshops, the factories that rely on assembly lines can produce various materials at a much higher speed and efficiency than other places.
In particular, his emphasis on craftsmen is more active here than in other areas, especially compared with the government.
People at the bottom don't have any numb expressions, they are all full of passion, because they know that if they do more, they will get more.
Su Fanna didn't know anything about ships. Even though he traveled through two lives and had warships under his command in Xiaoao, he still didn't understand the principles of shipbuilding.
After all, if he wants a warship or something, he just needs to send people to build it. If he doesn't know how, as long as there are people who can, he will manage the people who can build ships.
The same is true in this life. He provided some images of the ships he saw in later generations. As for how to make them specifically and whether they can be made, it depends on these craftsmen.
Fortunately, during the Han Dynasty, the Mohists were much more powerful than the Mohists in history. Although they were suppressed by the Confucians, they did not completely disappear.
Craftsmen, some great craftsmen, still have a lot of Mohist heritage.
Bai Lao is a great craftsman. Of course, he himself has no practice, he is just a simple Mohist craftsman.
However, when it comes to the craftsmanship of the Mo family, even those Mo craftsmen in the middle and late stages of raising souls cannot compare to him.
Su Fan invited this person to the shipyard as the chief engineer, and his status was very high.
The former was also very grateful to Su Fan. He was a disciple of the Mohist family. He could not change the current situation of the Mohist family. But since he was invited to Donghai County by Su Fan and saw everything here by Su Fan, he fell in love with it all of a sudden.
.
Even though he is sixty years old, he is still on the front line every day.
When Su Fan found this person, the former was still instructing some apprentices on how to insert rivets, and even demonstrated in person.
Fortunately, after several months of conditioning by Su Fan, the former's body is not bad, and he has now begun to practice the Soul Dao. He is much older, but with the resources provided by Su Fan, I think he will be able to practice some Dao.
Not to mention reaching the soul refining stage, but also cultivating to the middle stage of soul nourishing, increasing energy is also a good thing.
"Lao Bai, how is the research on new sea vessels going now?"
After the former finished giving instructions, Su Fan stepped forward and said with laughter.
"Sir, you are here"
Bai Lao did not call Su Fan Qu Shuai, nor did he call him lord. Instead, like Gao Hu and the others, he called Su Fan son. The meaning was very obvious. He had joined the Gao family and became a retainer of the Gao family.
"The new sea-going ship has almost been drawn out. Construction can start in a few days. This time the hull is larger than the previous one. According to the measurement unit you gave me, it will be almost more than 500 tons."
“More than five hundred tons! Not bad”
When Su Fan heard this, he was also a little surprised. This number was almost equivalent to the "Thousand Materials" ship from the Ming Dynasty on earth.
The pinnacle treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was almost as big as the "Five Thousand Materials", 60 meters long and 13 meters wide, and could carry hundreds of soldiers and guards.
Of course, in the Chaowu world, such ships are indeed not that big. In the rivers, there are many warships larger than 500 tons.
But Su Fan is very satisfied. Isn't this just the second generation?
The shipyard under his command has just begun. When there are more craftsmen, we can study the construction of larger warships in the future, and even the emergence of invincible aircraft carriers in later generations is not impossible.
In a fantasy world, everything is possible.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Su Fan was sincerely grateful. It can be said that the shipyard was built by Mr. Bai. He only provided the logistics, and Mr. Bai was responsible for everything else. It can be said that it took a lot of energy and hard work.
"Haha! I would also like to thank you, Master, for your continued support." Bai Lao's face beamed with joy, because here, he saw an opportunity for the Mohist family to flourish.
As an orthodox Mohist disciple, of course he is willing to see everything here, especially under the Young Master's rule, which is far better than the government.
The people at the bottom who live close to the young master, not to mention how good their quality of life is, but at least they can have enough to eat and survive, which is a very happy thing.
In the past, he traveled to many places. Once he encountered a natural disaster, countless people would die miserably.
It is impossible for you to starve and freeze to death here.
"Lao Bai, are there enough manpower here?"
"If it's not enough, I'll send another group of dexterous ones, but they still need you, Mr. Bai, to teach them."
“It’s really okay, that’s great”
When Bai Lao heard this, his face was filled with joy and he said: "Master, just send people here, we will teach them craftsmanship even at night."
"Sir, as long as you can send more people, we will definitely speed up the research on the third generation of sea ships."
The people who can be sent here must at least be literate and have learned a little arithmetic, which is very important. At least they are much better than many old farmers who can't even count.
Craftsmen not only know how to work, but also need certain knowledge, especially arithmetic, which must have a certain foundation.
Of course Mr. Bai doesn't like those elm-headed ones, but those who are clever and good at arithmetic are another matter. If they come to him, he will definitely treat them as treasures.
Not only here, anyone who can do arithmetic is needed no matter which workshop.
"Haha! I'll try to get some sent over."
Su Fan looked at Lao Bai helplessly, as the other party was playing tricks on him, but he was not angry at all.
Talents are rare, and those who are literate and arithmetic are even rarer. Even among the powerful, they are still considered useful talents.
Su Fan has worked very hard to train him in the past six months, but due to the scarcity of teachers, there are only a few hundred.
This is also thanks to the fact that there are some Taoist masters in Taiping Dao in Zhangjiao. These people are all well-read and literate.
Otherwise, how can we spread the teachings of Taiping Dao?
But it's still not enough. After all, they are not Su Fan's direct descendants. Most of the time, they have their own business, which is cultivation.
These Taoist masters can practice the basic soul-nurturing methods passed down by Zhang Jiao, as well as the life-saving talisman water magic.
They are also considered technical talents.
In fact, from Su Fan's point of view, if Zhang Jiao had developed in a low-key manner, focused on Taoist masters like Taiping Dao, developed productivity, and improved the combat effectiveness of his army, he might have had a great chance of overthrowing the Shenhan Dynasty in the future.
It's a pity that he regarded these Taoist masters as thugs.
A group of Taoist masters can indeed cast spells and are not weak at all, but in a large-scale battle, how can a general be as powerful as a general? Commanding troops to fight has been a matter for military strategists since ancient times.
Taoist arts and Mohist craftsmanship are high-quality talents who can improve technology and increase productivity. If used well, that is the best use to improve one's own strength.
For example, Su Fan has begun to train soul magicians and Mohist technicians in order to improve productivity.
Food and military industry are the biggest guarantees for logistics. As long as there are advantages in these two items, it is difficult to lose.
Even if you are defeated for a while, you will eventually recover quickly, and then come again, sooner or later you will drag the enemy to death.
