"Ming Sheng, you have done a great job this time, I respect you with this cup!"

Lei Mingsheng never dreamed that in his lifetime, he would sit and drink with Master Li in the study of the General's Mansion.If someone had told him half a year ago, he would have thought that person was a charlatan, or lost his mind.

However, today is different!

He has reasons and qualifications to sit in front of the general frankly, drink and chat with him.Because, he is now the major shareholder of Hanyuan Company after Li Shouhan.

After developing the unearthed cement, Lei Mingsheng came into contact with Li Shouhan's most core business secret, salt production.

In the fine salt processing workshop in Taipingdong, he was going to build a new processing workshop there that day.Lei Mingsheng pondered over several cauldrons, and then told his apprentices not to build houses for the time being.

That night, a new workshop construction drawing, or a new process flow, was placed in front of Li Shouhan.

Choose a place to dig and build a pool, build it with bricks, smear it with cement, and lay an underground ditch with ceramics at the bottom of the pool.In the lower position, a huge shallow water pool is also dug and built, which is connected with the upper pool with a ceramic culvert.Cotton filter plates and charcoal filter pipes are set up at the water outlet of the dark ditch.Put the coarse salt in the pool at a high place, and then put it into the clear water from the deep well. Use a wooden shovel to stir vigorously in the pool to dissolve the coarse salt, and then open the drain pipe, and the salt water will flow down the drain. The pipes flow down, and the water pressure caused by the drop will automatically filter the salt water. Then, the salt water in the shallow pool below is filter salt, and after a little cooking or drying, it becomes fine salt.

"According to your craftsmanship, the output can be sent and received. Youxin, Yuhetai Salt, can accept orders from those salt dealers in the future, and determine the output according to demand. Conservative calculations, a group of salt ponds, after a month, can process coarse salt Fifty thousand stones, how much fine salt or filtered salt can be obtained with this number, I don’t need to say?!”

"Congratulations, sir!"

"Hey! It should be us congratulating each other! According to your request, I asked Uncle Fu and Lin Huofeng to do the math. In the future, you will have [-]/[-] shares in Han Yuan Company, which can be inherited, which is different from other people's shares. In addition , You have a ten-thousandth share of the income of the salt company. However, in order to keep the fine salt processing technology secret, I can't announce why I gave you so many shares, I can only say that it is the contribution of cement."

Lei Mingsheng was drunk that day.

After waking up, Lei Mingsheng rubbed his drowsy head, pinched his thigh fiercely, um, it hurts, I'm not in a dream.But why do I still remember that I drank with the general last night?

His wife brought a bowl of hot and sour hangover soup, "When you and the general were drinking in the evening, Manager Fu brought people here, as well as several shopkeepers of the Hanyuan Company, who left some contract documents, saying that you There are also signatures and deposits." The wife looked around alertly, "There are dozens of ingots of big ingots, and they are said to be our bonuses."

Staring at the 50 taels of filament official treasure, Lei Mingsheng confirmed that what happened last night was true.

At the same moment, Shou Han was looking at another blueprint in his hand.

Today, thanks to the nodular cast iron aliased as Jiuzhuangang, the construction of waterwheels has also been greatly accelerated. Many workshops have begun to use waterpower as a new power to replace animal and human power.

The blueprint in front of me is another masterpiece of Shou Han, a sugar extraction process based on the salt processing technology proposed by Lei Mingsheng.

"With fine salt and white sugar, I don't believe that I will still be short of money!" Shou Han said secretly, looking at the expense ledger, gnashing his teeth.

On Shouhan's territory, as well as the nearby areas of several major powers, as well as the Leizhou Peninsula across the sea, they are all rich in sugar cane.However, in this era, most of the sugarcane is made by Song Yingxing's so-called yellow mud and water drench method, and some of them even use the four-fold Kongming tripod boiling method.

That is to say, the harvested sugarcane is chopped and rolled, and the pressed juice first removes impurities such as soil, bacteria, and fibers, and then boiled on a low heat for 5-6 hours, stirring constantly, so that the water slowly evaporates. The concentration of sugar gradually increases, and the high-concentration syrup will solidify into a solid lump of rough sugar after cooling. Although this kind of sugar preserves the nutritional content of sucrose itself from a nutritional point of view, its quality is extremely poor .

Even such sugar can be sold for a few taels of silver per pack (20 kg) at various treaty ports.Moreover, if it is sold to the capital, the price will be more than doubled.Moreover, sugar is popular all over the world. Taking the British as an example, the annual per capita consumption of sucrose has also increased from one teaspoon to pounds.The market prospect is very broad!

Shouhan decided to replace the yellow mud water drench method with the activated carbon adsorption method, and changed the operation process that originally required "pulling the wooden reel to squeeze the sugarcane, boiling the sugar in the pot and stove, and separating the honey from the pottery" to using the water wheel as the driving force. source of craftsmanship.

The Leizhou Peninsula on the opposite bank adopts the yellow mud water spraying method, and the output volume is more than 10 bales in good years, and more than 7 bales in normal years.

However, right now there are more important things than making money from sugar.

"Young master, no, general. My lord," Zuo Tianpeng said excitedly. "Is this a ship for our navy?" As he spoke, the blueprint in his hand kept shaking.

"My lord," Xu Huanshan was calmer in comparison, "I don't know how much material this ship needs? How big is the drainage? How many cannons can it carry?"

In the past few months, when the two of them formed the navy, the happiness and excitement at the beginning turned into helplessness and dejection.

Several sand boats launched in the early years of Wanli, the copper cannons on them are full of rust.When you get on a boat, you need sails, ropes, and anchors.According to the ideas in their minds, five or six ships may not be able to piece together four decent warships.

Soon, strange rumors spread among the sailors, "Xuanwu Camp, it's not bad! The grass snake coiled around Wang Bagai!"

listen!listen!Originally, the adults used Xuanwu, a northern mythical beast that belongs to water among the five elements, as the battalion name of the navy, but he didn't expect to be seen by these boys as a grass snake coiled on the back of a turtle? !

Li Shouhan stretched his waist, am I easy? !I communicated with several masters in the shipyard about the design concept and plan of the ship several times, and they took out the drawings again, and I resumed my old job as the design director and technical director.

Looking at the drawing boards, T-squares, set squares, and compasses piled up everywhere in the study, Li Shouhan seemed to have returned to the era before time travel, when there was no drawing software.Well, at that time, it seemed that everyone used these things for design!

Fortunately, these craftsmen now have a good technical level, and here in Annan, you can often see Spanish, Portuguese and other red-haired barbarians, so everyone has seen more strange-shaped ships.Shouhan talked about his requirements for the ship, and Wang Quan, the head of the shipyard, took out the drawings a few days later and asked Li Shouhan to review them.

"The blueprint in your hand is called a schooner. It's not for you. It's not a warship. It's a civilian ship. It can be used to transport people, goods, and fish. Of course, it can also be used as a reserve."

Zuo Tianpeng looked at the blueprint in his hand. If this is a civilian ship, what kind of warship should it be? !From the design point of view, the longer aspect ratio and the lowered stern make it have a larger stern draft, which not only improves the longitudinal stability and speed of the ship, but also greatly reduces the transverse hydrodynamic center of the underwater hull. It can be better balanced with the pressure center of the sail, which is conducive to tackling sailing and reducing lateral drift. It must be amazingly fast and flexible at sea.The sails are the gaff sails commonly used by the Red Maoyi, rather than the square sails commonly used by oriental ships. Therefore, there will not be a large number of sails like the square sails, requiring a large number of sailors.

The gaff schooner mainly relies on rapidly rotating the direction of the sail to change the angle and area of ​​the wind, and then change the thrust. Since two trusses are used to fix the sail, there are very few sails required for the operation of turning the sail, and the operation is particularly convenient. And simple, and can greatly save the number and physical strength of sailors.

Xu Huanshan carefully looked at the blueprint of the ship in his hand. Like the so-called schooner, this ship has a large aspect ratio, which makes the hull lines extremely beautiful. It is equipped with three super high masts; the bow is sharp. , like a fierce shark in the sea.The waterline surface is slightly concave, and it can be lifted up during sailing to split the waves; the gradually thinner and inclined waterline at the rear transitions to the narrow round stern in a harmonious manner, forming together with the bow and the middle of the hull. a body of least resistance.Along the protruding bow, a mast is stretched out in the direction of the front of the ship. Four sails are drawn between the mast and the front mast, and a triangle sail is hung; The mast is hung with full sails, the width of the sail surface greatly exceeds the width of the hull, and the cross-mast extends beyond the hull. In addition to the mainsail, topsail and other large and small square sails, each mast also has stay sails and wing sails. Wait for jib.The complete set of sails can withstand the wind blowing from all directions, and, like the schooner, the sail rigging is optimized, and it can be operated very well by up to twenty sailors.

At a glance, it seems to be somewhat similar to the Hongmaoyi boat, but from some technical configurations of the boat, Xu Huanshan can confirm that this is not a bari boat.

The unique watertight compartments of Chinese ships can improve the safety factor of ships during navigation; the retractable and retractable balance rudder can not only adapt to oceangoing navigation, but also be flexible in the complex sea conditions of the strait where there are strong winds, high waves and many dangerous shoals.The ropes and pulleys threaded in the big moso bamboo tube allow the captain to stand at the bow of the ship with a wide view and turn the steering wheel to control the rudder plate at the stern.

Yes, this is the pinnacle in the history of human use of sailboats - scissor sailboats.

However, this should be the Chinese money-added version of the scissor sailboat.That's right!It’s not that I made a mistake, it’s the version with extra money, because, in some key positions such as the deck and keel, the cost is one yuan higher than that of the so-called pure scissor sailboat.why?The keel is to be reinforced with steel nails, as is the deck.Also, judging from the design drawing, it is a double-layer gun deck!

"The schooner is made into a [-]-ton ship, and the scissor ship is made into a [-]-ton ship first, and then a bigger one will be built when there is a large dock!"

After drawing a beautiful perspective effect picture for the two ambitious guys, Shou Han lowered his face.

"If, in the future, there are fishermen who say that they were harassed by the small broken boats of the Zheng family in the north and the Ruan family in the south, you naval camp should stop talking nonsense! Go directly to the toilet in the backyard and soak to death! "

The entire territory of Annan is close to the sea. To the east of Hejing is the Beibu Gulf, which is extremely rich in fishery resources, which is now called Tokyo Bay.Dozens of boats, large and small, from the General's Mansion are here to catch fish and shrimp.

The Zheng family in the north is no good, because they still have the remnants of the Mo family behind them who are about to be sent away, while the Ruan family in the south on the Hue Quang Binh line are as annoying as flies.

Relying on the help of the Portuguese, the Ruan family's army was also equipped with a large number of artillery pieces. Specifically, in the water army, it claimed to have more than 200 warships. Each warship was equipped with 64 people of various types, and each ship was equipped with at least 4 to 8 pounds of guns. The firing device and 2 cannons.There are as many as six cannons on the big ship.

In order to deal with these guys who kept disturbing the fishermen's normal work and earning a living at sea, Li Shouhan had to equip the fishermen with cloud piercing crossbows and extinct knives on the fishing boats, so that the fishermen could protect themselves.Moreover, let the navy patrol the sea around the clock to prevent the southern navy from doing that kind of robbery, just like they did hundreds of years later.

"Master! Don't worry! As long as we have such a boat, those small broken boats in Nanruan, we will send them to the Dragon Palace to meet the Dragon King one by one!"

"My lord, how many cannons does this ship have?" It was still Xu Huanshan.

"Initial equipment, the upper and lower gun decks will be equipped with [-] guns! We will install more guns later!"

"Ah!" Although Xu Huanshan was more mature and prudent, he was speechless after hearing these words.

Thirty doors!It is still because the production capacity of the arsenal is insufficient, if there are in the future, there will be more!

Looking at the keel and mast gradually taking shape in the dock, the two guys grinned.

In order to let the sailors under him get familiar with the new ship as soon as possible, the two guys unreasonably transferred the sailors to the shipyard in the twelfth lunar month, in the name of getting familiar with the new ship as soon as possible. In fact, according to the private discussions of the sailors, "Just let us do part-time work for the shipyard so that the ship can be built faster!"

However, having said that, any sailor can laugh out loud in his dreams when he sees a giant warship of his own, gradually taking shape, showing a domineering outline across the world.

"This is our sail?" Several sailors were curious about holding a bundle of cloth. "There is no bamboo frame, no keel, just brushed tung oil on the cloth surface?!"

Chen Lian'an, a seamstress with both feet on the pedals, was a little unhappy, "This is the request from the lord. If you have any questions, just ask the lord. Don't stay with me!"

Several sailors closed their mouths and began to carefully look at the machine Chen Lian'an was using.With the ups and downs of the feet, a crankshaft connected to the pedal is driven by the pedal to drive the wheel to fly continuously. The wheel is transmitted to a thick pillow on the panel through the buffalo belt, and a big needle on the pillow keeps moving. with.

"Are you stupid?! This is a sewing machine invented by Huang Quangui under the guidance of the young master! The young master said that from now on, all the tailors in the town will use this sewing machine to make clothes!"

Bronze gears appeared in China very early, and during the Tang Dynasty, workers could make iron bearings down to the millimeter.Li Shouhan's vernier caliper increased the precision by a hundred times.Not long ago a blacksmith had successfully copied a vernier caliper and obtained a patent.With these, it is not a problem for Li Shouhan to build a sewing machine.

Several sailors looked at the huge sails that were about to be completed, and they were fascinated. They wondered when our cannons would be completed?
