Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 75 Building a Fleet

There was a slight noise and sawdust flying. In about 1 minute, the 20-meter-long big red pine tree had been sawn open, and the first plank came out. Following the machine, the flat car brought the big tree back quickly. When I came back, I saw it a second time, at the same speed, and the second large plank came out.

When Chai Lin turned off the machine, he saw Yu Hao holding his chin with one hand, and he heard Chai Lin shout, "Master, I'm so surprised, I'm afraid my chin will fall off, so I dare not let go."

Chailin said, "Relax, I've turned off the machine."

Only then did Yu Hao open his chin, Natou bowed and said, "The owner of the village is probably the carpenter's patriarch, Lu Ban, reborn. Otherwise, how could there be such a carpentry artifact."

Chai Lin hurriedly helped Yu Hao up. In fact, it was a mysterious copper bag gift opened by Chai Lin yesterday. It is called a fully automatic hydraulic band saw machine, which can saw and plan.

Chai Lin said: "Get up quickly, Master Yu is not in a hurry, you can take a look."

Chai Lin operated the machine, and the boom lifted the rest of the giant wood, leaving only one plank on it. The tool was changed at the nose of the machine, and there was a whining sound. I pushed it back, and the surface of the 5-meter-long plank slipped smoothly.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really a magic machine, owner, there are only four guards for protection, at least twenty are needed, this machine alone is worth at least one hundred thousand officials." Yu Hao said in surprise.

Chai Lin said: "Excuse me, Master Yu, tell me how much labor can be saved if this machine is used for sawing boards and planing boards for the shipyard?"

"This artifact can support at least a hundred skilled craftsmen. With this artifact, I estimate that the cost of the lucky boat mentioned by the owner just now will not exceed 2000 taels. If it is equipped with the big saws, hand saws, etc. that were displayed in the living room just now, it will cost a lot. Qianqi 800 taels should be able to come down, of course, it depends on the price of the purchased wood, if the price of wood is lower, the cost will be lower.” Yu Hao said.

Chai Lin said: "I don't have time to wait. Tomorrow you will make a list of the wood you need. I will arrange to buy according to the order and build ten ships next year."

Yu Hao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, building a big boat is not just a bench, just make dozens of them casually.However, the owner of Chai Zhuang has firepower, courage, and magical weapons. He has the right time, place, people, and harmony. It is not unusual to build ten lucky boats.

Yu Hao asked: "The landlord is planning to go to sea merchants?"

"Although we also have canals from Cangzhou to Dongpingfu, the canals are silted up and have been abandoned for hundreds of years. The land transportation volume is small and slow, but our transportation is much more convenient when we look at the sea. We sail to the sea and go all the way south to many coastal small towns in Shandong. Let’s not talk about the port, just talk about the big ports, Mingzhou Port, Hangzhou Port, Fuzhou Port, Quanzhou Port, Guangzhou Port, May Day is not a place where merchants gather. At that time, our products in Cangzhou can be sold, and the things we need can be sold. Buying it in will immediately improve the living standards of the people," said Chai Lin.

"Fu Chuan is the best way to run along the coast. It has a large cargo capacity and strong ability to withstand wind and waves." Yu Hao said.

"Of course, domestic trade is just a small beginning. After you craftsmen accumulate some experience, we will build a large ship more than 100 meters long and three or four stories high. Inside are all our merchants, exchanging supplies with each other. Master Yu, I will rely on you from now on. I hope that one day, the sea will be full of large ships that you supervised. By then, you will be immortal." Lin said happily.

Yu Hao could only feel his blood burning, and his whole body was full of strength and vigor. In one's life, Cao Mu must do something in his life.

When Yu Hao returned to Chaijiazhuang's residence, his wife said, "I came back so late, I'll prepare bath water for you."

"Don't be busy, go to sleep first, I can't sleep, I still have things to do." Yu Hao sat down at the desk, took the abacus, found a pen and paper, and started counting. The ship's wood fell, and the abacus was flying up and down.

Old Yu's daughter-in-law hid on the kang by herself, and said strangely: "Hey, this old Yu took the wrong medicine today, and he is always in a hurry."

"Old Yu, Old Yu, come on. Come and rest quickly," the daughter-in-law shouted.

Yu Hao didn't hear it at all, and wrote the required wood on the paper, red pine, fir, elm, nanmu, cypress, jujube, and paulownia.

The aniseed and miscellaneous materials are counted separately. Although a 62-meter Fuchuan uses a lot of wood, there are local elm, paulownia, cypress, and jujube in Cangzhou.

Moreover, due to the rapid economic downturn and the hardships of the people in recent years, the prices of elm and paulownia have been greatly reduced. If a large number of large trees are purchased directly from the countryside, the cost will be even lower.Now only red pine and Chinese fir need to be purchased from outsiders. The large quantity is used, and the price can be lowered by [-]%.

There are a lot of red pine aniseed and fir aniseed in Dengzhou, the price is not expensive, and they can be shipped directly from the sea, the freight is not expensive, perfect.It is not the same as playing with the artifact that specializes in dealing with aniseed materials. It is not a problem to recruit a hundred craftsmen and hundreds of apprentices to build ten ships at a time.

The more he thought about it, the more energetic he became, Yu Hao recorded the relevant matters in his notebook, and arranged to purchase some local wood in Cangzhou tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the weather was clear and the sky was full of white clouds. The folks used straw to cook and did not affect the sweetness of the air at all.

In the wilderness of the East Village of Chaijiazhuang, the 50 township soldiers were divided into [-] capitals, each with [-] soldiers. They first raised a big banner and wrote to the Cangzhou regiment for training.

"One, two, three, four." Shouting neat slogans, walking in the morning running training with neat steps.

The mule grazing saw it, stopped grazing, and said to himself, these people are so boring, they don't know how to rest and run.

Chailin ran at the back of the team to prevent anyone from falling behind, but fortunately, these selected recruits had good physical fitness, so running was no longer a problem.

Morning jogging is just to warm up, but it's only three kilometers, and I don't even carry my equipment.

Back on the playground, there is an hour of free time. The recruits practice push-ups, sit-ups, dumbbells, barbells, horizontal bars, etc. on the school grounds. The recruits practice there by themselves. No one dares to be lazy. They are still waiting for them at home. Take the donkey back. If you can't get the donkey and you are kicked back, you will probably be laughed to death.

Chai Lin was practicing barbells. At this time, Wang Damao came, wearing a brand-new leather armor with a mark on the sleeve, sending an order.

"My lord, Battalion Commander Chai asked me to inform you that the Hujiazhuang caravan has arrived, and Ruan Xiaoqi has also arrived. Please go and receive me, Your Excellency," Wang Damao said.

Chai Lin said: "Understood, you go back first, I will go right away."

The Hujiazhuang caravan arrived yesterday and took away 10 yuan of soap.The caravan that was supposed to transport rapeseed oil arrived today. Coach Lin followed the caravan, and the leopard head came.
