Of course, the risk of a ship as big as the Oriental Beauty is still a bit greater when it comes to the ship model.

It is best to wait for the ratio to be enlarged to half, and make a small verification ship. It is really time to pilot the sea and expose all the problems, and finally build a large ship to be safe.

But it’s just one step further in the middle, and the reason is not bad, and equal proportions of ship models are still the key.

"Then let's get the ship model out as soon as possible." After hearing Yang Fan's words, Mr. Zhao instructed.

"This..." Yang Fan made a mistake: "Just watching it, the officials can't do it."

"Then how can you do it?" Zhao Hao asked looking at him.

"You must dismantle the ship, young master..." Yang Fan also looked at Zhao Hao tentatively and said, "How can you see the structure inside if you don't dismantle it?"

"Then let's dismantle it!" Zhao Hao thought he was going to put forward what conditions, so he waved his hand happily and said, "How can I reverse research if I don't dismantle it?"

"But the Red-haired Ghost Captain said that this is the property of their Folangji Royal Family and will be returned to them in the future." Ma Hu reminded in a low voice.

"It's the year of the monkey and horses until the negotiation is completed." Zhao Hao sneered and said indifferently: "First disassemble and study it first. It's best to pretend for them after all, but if you really can't pretend, you'll knock it down."

As he said that, he sighed and said, "The waves on the sea are dangerous. When encountering a typhoon, there are many people who hit the reefs and sink. At worst, you can pay some money when the time comes, and you will be paid."

"Oh..." Everyone understood, and the young master had no intention of returning the boat.

"Okay, then I'll make a fuss!" Yang Fan subconsciously rolled up his sleeves, obviously he was already hungry and thirsty inside.

He only had one thought left in his mind, that is, to make the Ming Dynasty shipbuilding return to the world's number one!

"So, have you agreed to come to Jiangnan Factory?" Zhao Hao took the opportunity to throw out his olive branch.

"Ah, this..." Yang Fan said embarrassedly: "Please consider it."

"Brother, what else are you thinking about? Longjiang Factory is now having a better life, and anyone who lacks it will change." Yang Mi advised from the side: "In Longjiang Factory, we build ships for the group, and when we come to Jiangnan Factory, we also build ships for the group. But if we want to build the best ship, we can only come here!"

"Yes, Lord Yang, my master has hanged the position of factory director for more than a year. This sincerity is enough to move the world, right?" Jin Xuezeng also beat the side drum.

"Yes, factory director, I'm waiting for you to take charge of the overall situation." Ma Hu also said.

Everyone said one by one, one by one, and then he softened his tone: "But I still have an official position."

"This is simple. I will go back and move you to Chongming as the county magistrate and serve as the shipyard director." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said, "I know you are worried about going to the Longjiang Factory. Let's do this. You can work hard here for ten years. When you build a warship better than Taixi, you will have a standardized production and a successor. I will beat drums and drums to send you back?"

"Oh, I'll work for the young master for ten years." Mr. Zhao said this. If Yang Fan disagreed, he would really not be Rongzi.

"Haha, okay." Zhao Hao laughed with satisfaction, pointed at the Garen ship with great enthusiasm, and said to everyone: "You guys, please, as long as you can build this, I will need at least one hundred ships!"

"Yes!" Everyone suddenly felt blood rushing when they heard this. They all had a clear premonition that they would leave a brilliant mark in the history of China's navigation and even in history!

"Time doesn't wait for anyone! R&D must be fast, don't be afraid of spending money." Zhao Hao said in a deep voice: "I'll give you a year. At this time next year, I will officially build the No. 1 ship!"

"I understand, I will start to do it today!" Yang Fan said with a heavy emphasis: "Strive to draw pictures of various ships before the New Year."

"I want it." Zhao Hao nodded, which was why he insisted on Yang Fan taking charge.

In this era, shipbuilding is a craft, and there are only a few people who master the top craftsmanship, and those who don’t have any elsewhere to find them.

It’s not just a journey of shipbuilding? Almost all walks of life are facing the same problem. This model of traditional craftsmen mastering core technologies seriously restricts the Jiangnan Group’s footsteps. Mr. Zhao spent a huge amount of money to build so many schools in order to turn private crafts into public knowledge, so that they can make comprehensive progress!

After a little distracted, he instructed Yang Fan: "When it comes to drawings, you should learn more from those Folang Ji people. The yardstick drawing techniques they master can make the drawings more accurate."

"Yes." Yang Fan quickly responded: "We will try every means to squeeze them dry, and there is no drop left!"

"That's what it means." Mr. Zhao smiled and nodded.

On the way back, Jin Xuezeng couldn't help but ask Zhao Hao: "Master, does Jiangnan Shipyard really have to build so many large ships?"

"Am I kidding?" Zhao Hao rode on the horse, holding a pergola in his hand and looked into the distance.

"Are you still building a sea ship with a thousand materials?" Jin Xue once asked.

"Of course, keep building." Zhao Hao said lightly: "Think about it. How many years will it take for us to make up for the courses that we have been missing for 150 years?"

He did not tell anyone that it would shock everyone's chins if he said it. According to his own estimate, Jiangnan Group will need to have 3,000 to 5,000 sea ships with thousands of materials in the future, that is, the capacity of one million tons, to be truly considered a big player in the Age of Discovery.

In fact, this number is not an exaggeration, because within a hundred years after the Qing Dynasty liberated the sea ban, the number of sand ships along the south coast increased to 5,000 coastal ships in the south of the Yangtze River increased to 750,000 tons, with a total tonnage of 750,000 tons. During the same period, there were 7,000 registered sea ships in the UK, with a total tonnage of 1.5 million tons...

How could Jiangnan Group be satisfied with doing offshore trade? Mr. Zhao is determined to be a seven-sea sea. It can only be said that the five thousand sea ships under it are just enough.

Others find it incredible, but they can only say that they can't imagine how great the Age of Discovery is...

~~

"Then this Jiangnan shipyard must be expanded." Jin Xuezeng looked in the direction Zhao Hao looked and said, "I have to leave a place for them."

"Yes, in the future, Jiangnan Shipyard covers at least tens of thousands of acres and has tens of thousands of employees." Zhao Hao said slowly: "In addition to the supporting upstream industries, it is no problem to support more than 100,000 households."

"Wow..." Jin Xuezeng's saliva was almost flowing. He worked hard to attract the population back. Chongming County now has only 40,000 households and more than 100,000 people. With this gift from his master, the population of Chongming County will double several times, even exceeding the grand occasion of the Yuan Dynasty!

"Master, you are always so kind to your disciple. I, I really don't know how to repay you..." The golden monkey was so beautiful that he was incoherent.

"Don't be too happy too early." But Zhao Hao turned around and said, "There is another thing, you have to be mentally prepared in advance."

"What's the matter? Master, please tell me." Jin Xuezeng was stunned.

"The anchor port for the sea transportation of grain is only a temporary measure in Chongming and is not conducive to the overall development of Jiangnan." Zhao Hao looked at him and said, "When you look back, you will consider moving to another place."

"Uh..." Jin Xuezeng's heart sank. It was really a blessing and misfortune. He hurriedly begged: "Master, be fine, Chongming's current prosperity depends entirely on shipping!"

"The shipbuilding industry is more suitable for Chongming, and the farm economy is enough to drive the economic takeoff in the whole county." Zhao Hao said unmoved: "Don't be greedy for too much and not be chewed, and you must obey the overall situation."

"Oh." The master said this, and Jin Xuezeng had to respond with grievance.

But he was actually not panicked. He had already thought about it. The entire Jiangnan lacked large ports with convenient transportation. The most recent one was Ningbo outside the Jiangnan integrated area planned by his master.

If setting up the port in Chongming is not conducive to the development of Jiangnan, it would be even more inappropriate to set up it in Ningbo.

So in his opinion, Master’s idea of ​​moving to Hong Kong cannot be implemented in a short period of time.

He pretended to be pitiful, just to take the opportunity to make conditions. "Master, will you do farm management next year?"

"I agree." Zhao Hao nodded.

"That agricultural technician?"

"I'll go coordinate."

"Can you invite Shi Jizhi to take charge..." Jin Xuezeng gained more and more ambitions.

"I think you're arrogant!" Zhao Hao glared at him angrily.

"Master is really not. It's mainly because it's the first time I'm so nervous. Hundreds of thousands of acres of land, if it's messed up, how can I explain to you..." Jin Xuezeng said with a shy face: "Master doesn't want his disciple's career to start, so just fall into a big fuss."

"Believe in your mouth." Zhao Hao sneered: "Okay, I'll ask him for help. No more conditions are allowed!"

"Ah, yes, yes." Jin Xuezeng responded with a tight head and felt happy. Now Chongming takes three steps to get rid of the whole mansion and rank at the bottom of the city, and it is not a luxury to catch up with Wu County, Changzhou.

"Do it well." Mr. Zhao looked at his beloved disciple with great meaning. "You have been a county magistrate for two years, so you must learn to be calm and not be surprised by favors and disgraces."

"Yes, Master." Jin Xuezeng didn't know what Master meant at that time. If he knew, the New Year would definitely not be good...

~~

The next morning, Mr. Zhao and his party left Chongming Island and arrived at Wusongkou at noon.

Affected by the invasion of silt and sand in the Yangtze River Estuary, many sandbags were silted on the Wusong River. The largest one was called Gaoqiao Island, which occupied half of the estuary. There were even more than a hundred families living on the upper floor, which shows the weight of the siltation in the Wusong River.

The shallow silt on the river surface brings considerable difficulties to ship navigation. Only flat-bottomed sand boats can enter and exit without any worries. If replaced with sharp-bottomed blessed boats, they can only be stranded.

Elder Niu took the helm himself and carefully drove the four hundred sand boats that Mr. Zhao rode through Wusongkou. If you accidentally sit on the beach, you will have to wait until the tide rises before you get out.

When I passed by Wusongkou, the river surface in front of me was still wide, a hundred feet wide. At first glance, the water surface was as smooth as a lake.

But upon closer inspection, there were reeds everywhere on the water surface, and there were countless sandbags in it, which were obviously also severely shallow.

These mud and sand were brought by the Wusong River. Because the Wusong mouth was silted by the silt of the Yangtze River, the water flow of the Wusong River slowed down, and the mud and sand accumulated here. As a result, the river channel became shallower and the water flow became slower and slower. No wonder the Taihu Lake flooded and the Wusong River was flooded frequently.
