Villager of Daming

Chapter 613 A joint paper reveals corruption
A large wooden sea-going boat was left behind, and the captain took the children on board. They said they were visiting, but in fact they were taking measurements.

So far, the Ming Dynasty Navy does not have a real steam engine ship, which refers to sea-going ships. There are already on inland rivers, and inland river ships cannot compare with the transport capacity of sea-going ships.

The river boats on the Yangtze River can actually be very large, but trackers cannot pull them, and the power system limits the size of the boats.

Now that sea ships are coming, let’s keep one to see if it can be refitted.

Zhu Wentian was studying the craft of shipbuilding. By that time, there was very little about the Ming Dynasty, especially when it came to specific matters.

It was difficult to salvage one ship, but the specific age cannot be determined. The general information is mostly from the period of Zheng He's voyages to the West.

At this time, in the early Ming Dynasty, the ship technology of the Yuan Dynasty was basically still used, and the Yuan Dynasty had better foreign trade.

A two-thousand-stone sea-going ship like this is a relatively large warship. No matter how big it is, it will not be conducive to steering, and the manufacturing period will be long.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty requested to form an army quickly and build a ship of six to seven thousand stones, but apparently it has not been completed yet.

The two thousand stone ship has oars and sails. If it is converted into a steam engine ship, the oars must be removed because it is not a paddle wheel ship with wheels on the back.

It needs to be added to the left and right, so that it can turn flexibly. At the critical moment, the bearing can withstand it, and one wheel will turn forward and the other wheel will turn backward.

Otherwise, you can only adjust it with the rudder, which is very slow!Boats with left and right wheels can complete the motion of turning in circles.

After removing the paddles, the next step is how to install the steam engine, where the shaft is, waterproofing measures, etc.

The sail does not move. When the sea is windy, coal and fresh water are saved and the sail is used to run. The steam engine rotates slowly at this time to provide some hot water and other services.

The steam engine cannot be stopped, otherwise it will take a long time to restart. The larger the steam engine, the longer it will take.

After the measurements, the craftsmen gave ideas for modifications, which were converted into words, which Zhu Wentian took home to read and analyze.

Three days later, Zhu Wentian gave the plan, and everyone began to modify the ship according to the drawings.

The ship was towed ashore first, and the price was set up. The steam engine was used to connect the steel cables and pull the ship up. Below it was a pile of rolling logs.

Then began to dismantle part of the area. The sails were lowered and the mast could not be moved. The mast of a seagoing ship was the most important, connected to the keel.

If there is a strong wind and the mast needs to be cut, it means that the ship is finished. If people can survive, the ship must be rebuilt.

There are craftsmen unloading things, and there are craftsmen digging out the seafood clinging to the bottom of the boat, such as oysters and conches...

They are mainly barnacles. They stick to them. You can pick them out to see the varieties. Throw the edible ones into a special large pot. You can raise them later, spit out the sediment, kill the parasites, and cook them.

The two thousand shi of the ship's carrying capacity is not the displacement. The ship has its own weight. The two thousand shi is calculated based on the grain transported. It is also calculated based on the material, depending on the size of the wood.

It has a carrying capacity of more than 130 tons, which is not too small. After excluding the weight of the oars, plus the weight of the steam engine, it also contains coal and fresh water.

Part of the two paddle wheels has buoyancy, and part has no buoyancy. The buoyancy is relatively small because it is made of steel sheets.

According to Zhu Wentian's design, one hundred tons of carrying capacity can be left, and the normal voyage lasts for 30 days. If the carrying capacity is fifty tons, then the fifty tons deducted will be used for coal and fresh water.

The craftsmen ignore the data and make modifications according to the drawings. They are not afraid if the modifications are damaged. Without their responsibility, the prince's team can afford it.

The sergeant on the ship came down and took a small boat to help trawl the fish. It was still a polyethylene net from the laboratory. This one is not afraid of blisters.

In fact, I am afraid that over time, it will still get damaged, especially due to seawater corrosion and sun exposure.

I took it out in the laboratory to see the service life. If there are more of these things, we can engage in marine farming and catch them faster.Large boat trawls, especially bottom-mounted trawl nets, can also be used to fish for corals around Japan!
……

The people who were close to the river came over to take a look. This was not kept secret, and they didn't care if the news spread to other people's ears. They would just stare blankly after hearing it.

The sailors on the boat caught the fish and sold it on the spot. As agreed, the money from the sale was given to themselves.

They used to earn income by fishing in the sea, otherwise who would be willing to work as a sailor on a ship?Just take it if there are benefits.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are unwilling to do anything that is not beneficial anyway, and no emotion will do.

The key is that a group of corrupt officials have been arrested in the past two days. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one to manage the province, they can be corrupt and make money wherever they can.

Therefore, a group of officials in Anqing knelt beside this temporary dock, waiting for the prince to convict him.

Zhu Biao stood there with his hands behind his back and watched the craftsmen working, without even looking at people like Anqing.

"We thought only the prefect and supervisors there had problems, but we didn't expect it! Just five years after the war started, the people's sentiments are unstable, and so are the official sentiments!"

Zhu Xi felt uncomfortable looking at the people kneeling there.

Because the team has been here for so long, the people never talk about the officials' problems, obviously they are afraid!Been silenced.

During the investigation, I asked the people who were bullied, and the people said that someone had complained before and was arrested.

According to the words of the director, I know that I am corrupt, and you also know that I am corrupt. I know that you know that I am corrupt, but I am corrupt. If you dare to say it, I will kill you.

If you don't accept it, go to the higher authorities and see if it helps?The complaint is over, hey!The honest official above you asked told me who made the complaint. Look, you were taken away by me, right?Hey Hey!

It wasn't until 130 officials from the former dynasty 'secretly' signed a 'letter', and after an investigation, the people jumped out.

For such a long time, officials from the northern parallel province have not mentioned a single word.

"Your Highness, the subordinates are negligent in their management. The subordinates must immediately rectify the situation, reflect deeply, draw inferences from one example, and pay close attention to implementation..."

"No, retreat, hey, kneel down, eh! Hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian carried Anqing back, who was trying to crawl over on his knees, so he was not so close.

The key point is that your statement is incomplete. You should also say: We require the people not to believe, create, or spread rumors, otherwise they will face sanctions under the Ming Dynasty's laws and will never tolerate it!

It's not good to say that, kneel down, kneel down firmly.

"Chief, do the people in our village get benefits when they work outside?" Zhu Biao never looked at An Qing and others.

"They don't dare, they have faith. The faith of our Xiaqiu Village is not about money, nor does it promote making more money, but to take good care of the villagers.

Self-restraint is better now, because if our village wants money, we can have money, and if we want to see His Highness, we can see His Highness.

What the villagers pursue is self-worth. How many people can I help and how many people can I change the fate of poverty.

This idea must be spread, otherwise all dreams will be false and deceive others. "

The head of the village shook his head beside him. Xiaqiu Village generally manages affairs and shops in the original village. No one has the idea of ​​​​earning benefits for themselves alone.

This is faith, and this faith is definitely not money.
