From the world of martial arts

Chapter 177
After dismissing the military lord, Su Fan came to the dock.Looking at the busy craftsmen and some apprentices inside, Su Fan was still very satisfied. Within the scope of his control, especially around his barracks, many workshops had been established. Although many of them were manual workshops, they relied on the assembly line In Fangshi, the production of various materials is much faster and more efficient than other places.

In particular, his emphasis on craftsmen is more active here than in other regions, especially compared with the government.

The people at the bottom didn't have any numb expressions, and they were all full of passion, because they knew that they had done a lot and got a lot.

Su Fan didn't know anything about sea ships. Even though he had traveled through two lifetimes, he was smiling proudly and had warships under his command in Datang, but he still didn't understand the principles of shipbuilding.

After all, if he wants warships or something, he just needs to send people to build them. He doesn't know how, as long as there are people who can, he will manage people who can build ships.

The same is true in this life. He provided some appearances of sea ships that he saw in later generations. As for how to do it and whether it can be made, it depends on these craftsmen.

Fortunately, in the Shenhan era, Mohism was much stronger than the Mohism in history. Although it was suppressed by Confucianism, it did not completely disappear.

Craftsmen, some great craftsmen, still got a lot of Mohist inheritance.

Bai Lao is a master craftsman. Of course, he has not practiced it himself, but is just a simple Mohist craft.

But in terms of Mohist craftsmanship, even the few Mohists in the middle and late stages of cultivating souls can't compare with him.

Su Fan invited this person to the shipyard as the chief engineer, with a very high status.

The former is also very grateful to Su Fan. He is a Mohist disciple, and he can't change the current situation of the Mohism. But since he was invited to Donghai County by Su Fan, he fell in love with Su Fan immediately after seeing everything here. .

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 embed rivets, and even showed off himself.

Fortunately, after several months of recuperation by Su Fan, the former's body is not bad, and now he has started to practice the soul way, and he is much older. However, with the resources provided by Su Fan, he thinks he can cultivate some Taoism.

Not to mention attaining soul refining, even cultivating to the middle stage of soul cultivation, increasing energy is also a good thing.

"Bai Lao, how is the research on new sea ships going?"

After the former finished pointing, Su Fan stepped forward and said with a lot of laughter.

"Sir, you are here"

Bai Lao didn't call Su Fan Qu Shuai, nor did he call him the Lord, but just like Gao Hu and the others, he called Su Fan the Young Master, which obviously meant that he had already joined the Gao family and became a retainer of the Gao family.

"The new type of sea-going ship is almost finished, and it will start construction in a few days. This time, the hull will be larger than the previous one. According to the measurement unit you gave, my son, it can be more than [-] tons."

"More than 500 tons! Not bad"

Su Fan was also a little surprised when he heard that, this number is almost equivalent to the "Thousand Materials" ship of the Ming Dynasty on Earth.

The peak 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 a ship is really not that big. In the rivers and rivers, there are many warships larger than 500 tons.

But Su Fan is quite satisfied, is this only the second generation?
The shipyard under his command has just started. When there are more craftsmen, he can study and build larger warships in the future, and even the invincible aircraft carrier of later generations is not impossible.

In the fantasy world, everything is possible.

"You have worked so hard to get old"

Su Fan sincerely thanked him. It can be said that the shipyard was built by Bai Lao. He just provided the logistics, and Bai Lao was responsible for the rest. It can be said that it was quite a waste of energy and effort.

"Haha! I would like to thank you, Young Master, for your continued support." Bai Lao's face was full of joy, because here, he saw an opportunity for the Mo family to flourish.

As an orthodox Mohist disciple, he is of course willing to watch everything here, especially under the rule of the young master, which is far better than the government.

Those low-level people who are close to the son, not to mention how good the quality of life is, but at least they can have enough food and survive. This is a very happy thing.

In the past, he traveled to many places, and once encountered a natural disaster, countless people could only die miserably.

Here, Young Master, it is impossible to starve to death or freeze to death.

"Bai Lao, is there enough manpower here?"

"If it's not enough, I'll send another batch of dexterous ones over, but they still need to be taught by Mr. Bai."

"Really, that's great"

When Bai Lao heard this, his face was full of joy and he said: "My lord, just send someone over, we will teach them crafts even at night."

"Young master, as long as you can send more people, we will definitely speed up the research on the third generation of sea ships."

Those who can be sent here must at least be literate and have learned a little arithmetic knowledge, which is very important, at least much better than many old farmers who can't even count.

A craftsman is not only good at work, but also needs certain knowledge, especially arithmetic, which must have a certain foundation.

Of course Bai Lao doesn't like those elm heads, but those who are dexterous and able to do arithmetic are another matter. Come to him, he will definitely treat them as treasures.

Not only his here, anyone who can do arithmetic, no matter which workshop needs it.

"Hehe! I'll try my best to send some over."

Su Fan looked helplessly at Elder Bai, who was playing tricks on him, but he was not angry at all.

Talents are rare, and there are even fewer people who can read and write. Even if they are placed among those powerful people, they are considered useful talents.

Su Fan has worked hard to train them in the past six months, but because of the scarcity of teachers, there are only a few hundred.

This is also thanks to Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao, there are some Taoist masters, and these people are all educated and literate.

Otherwise, how to spread the meaning of Taipingdao.

But it was still not enough. After all, they were not Su Fan's direct descendants. Most of the time, they had their own business, which was cultivation.

These Taoist masters can practice, they are the basic soul cultivation method passed down by Zhang Jiao, and they also have the life-saving talisman water spell.

It can also be regarded as a technical talent.

In fact, from Su Fan's point of view, if Zhang Jiao developed in a low-key manner, focusing on Taoists like Taiping Dao, developing productivity, and improving the combat power of his army, there might still be a great chance to overthrow the Shenhan Dynasty in the future.

Unfortunately, he regarded these Taoist masters as thugs.

It is true that a group of Taoist masters are not weak in performing spells, but in large-scale battles, there is no general who is powerful. Commanding troops in battles has been a matter of military strategists since ancient times.

Taoist art and Mohist art are high-quality talents who can improve technology and productivity. If used well, that is the best use to improve one's own strength.

Just like here with Su Fan, he has already started to train Soul Dao Warlocks and Mohist technicians, in order to improve various productivity.

Food and military industry are the biggest guarantee for logistics. As long as there are advantages in these two items, it is difficult to have any disadvantages.

Even if you are defeated for a while, you will recover soon after all, and then come back, sooner or later, you will drag the enemy to death alive.
