There is no hurry to sail, there is not enough ships, and there is no way to start without experiencing the test of wind and waves.

It’s nothing to carry troops around when sailing near the sea, but there is no way to stay five miles away from the shore. There is still a compass and a telescope, otherwise it is possible that the land will not be visible for more than five miles.

We also want to not encounter wind and waves, otherwise we cannot dock before the wind and waves arrive, and we may capsize...

Fortunately, Liu Tao probably remembered that the structure of the keel was drawn for the craftsmen. He used the riveting technology of construction to design a reasonable keel, and then built the ship on this basis.

When Liu Tao arrived at the dock, the first large ocean-going ship was over.

The inspection and final decoration can be considered for trial sailing at the end of the year. After all, it has not been built before. Only after three months will there be no problems, and large-scale construction will be officially used as the standard. At the same time, the ship will also begin to be put into service.

"I didn't expect you to fully understand the skills. I was very surprised." Liu Tao met with several craftsmen.

"It is also the drawings and structures given by Your Majesty that are very reasonable. We can only build such a big ship." The master said excitedly. He was an old ship craftsman. He had built a ship for twenty years and had never built such a big ship.

This shipbuilding is not only a mission, but also a challenge and breakthrough. If you really build this ship, then the old ship craftsman can probably brag for the rest of his life!

When the court sent someone to find him and took out the drawings drawn by the Emperor of Han, he didn't even need a salary and had to join in.

"This kind of ship is just average..." Liu Tao looked at the ship. As an ocean-going ship, he was only a basic one. He probably had an impression of it, but he only had an impression.

No one would look at a lot of navigation knowledge specifically. The understanding of ships is roughly the appearance, the internal situation, and the composition of the keel. Not to mention that most modern ships were steel ships.

Forget this era? For example, corrosion-resistant coatings are the biggest problem. Besides, there is not so much steel that can be squandered like this? Let’s take a step back? There is no attack, and steel ships have to be used to defend.

"I'm sorry? With my old ability, I can only do this for the time being." The craftsman was not dissatisfied when he heard this. It's not surprising that His Majesty could come up with such drawings.

It’s just that he has a lot of effort to achieve this with his understanding of shipbuilding technology.

After all, these days, most shipwrecks are not in the culture themselves... Being able to understand drawings is not so much about understanding data, but also about understanding ships.

Liu Tao found more than 30 old shipwrecks, and the only one who could understand this sixty-year-old old shipwreck. At his age, he could not even participate in the construction himself? He could only use his rich experience to guide other craftsmen to build.

Even, does he have more lifespan? He was unsure of his heart to persevere until he built the next larger ship.

"After building this ship? Other craftsmen also gained experience..." Liu Tao looked at the old craftsmen, "Will you become the dean of the Royal Shipbuilding Academy of the Han Dynasty? Will you teach your skills?"

The rich shipbuilding experience of old craftsmen is very valuable? They cannot be thrown away just like this. Combined with Chinese mathematics, can the new generation of shipbuilders go further, Liu Tao is looking forward to whether the technology of the new generation of shipbuilders can go further.

"This..." The old ship craftsman didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Your son can also teach in the college. I think his skills should not be worse than you." Liu Tao looked at the old boatman.

"I don't have a son..." The old ship craftsman looked sad and gave birth to three daughters, none of whom inherited his skills. In other words, he just had no son, so he devoted all his thoughts to shipbuilding.

Sure enough, it was the same thing as saying that the man was not the woman... Liu Tao sighed, because this excellent technology was lost. Of course, there were also the confucian magical and lewd remarks, and industry could not develop.

After all, with the improvement of production technology, grain output will inevitably increase and grain prices will drop. Why can't the well-field system be restored? Because the production model has changed, there have been great changes in both agricultural tools and farming models.

If we can restore the production technology of the Spring and Autumn Period and the planting model of that era, the output of less than half a stone for one acre of land, then the well-field system will definitely be implemented.

If the grain cannot be sold at a price, then you can only start to consider operating other things. Doing business or producing some complex commodities is not only costly, but also at the possibility of losing money.

Moreover, you have to invest manpower and financial resources and spend a lot of energy to understand the market conditions. In this way, the children of the family will not have extra time to study. How can they take the exam without studying? How can they become officials without exam? How can the family grow and grow?!

So after the Song Dynasty, even if the landlords could no longer simply control the price of food, they had other means.

For example, vigorously develop the textile industry, plant a large number of mulberry trees, and convert a large number of farmland in Jiangsu and Zhejiang into mulberry forests. After all, food is not valuable, but silk is definitely valuable.

Not to mention the strange skills and tricks, Liu Tao seems to be increasingly disgusted with the word "Growing and Reading" and passing on family history recently.

If you talk about poor children, you basically don’t make a fortune by farming. For example, Jian Yong and Kan Ze don’t have any land, so how to farm. Those with some land are basically worried about life and have no extra effort to study. Those who can eventually farm and study are basically rich landlords and wealthy families.

Farming is not about farming by yourself, but about a lot of fields at home, and people can be invited to farm. Relying on farming produces grain and selling money to earn income, and then supplying the children with their own studies and study. The purpose is to obtain fame and fortune, which is the "farming and reading to pass on family members".

"Teaching a few disciples... The loss of excellent craftsmanship is the loss of the country." Liu Tao said solemnly.

The old ship craftsman didn't know how his craftsmanship had risen to the loss of the country. However, he could also feel that His Majesty the Emperor really valued his craftsmanship. He was immediately very excited and immediately expressed his efforts to cultivate it.

"Xianhe... what do you think so that those who have excellent craftsmanship can pass on their craftsmanship with peace of mind?" Liu Tao couldn't help but ask Jian Yong on the way back.

"The reason why he is so precious about his skills is that he will not pass on even if he is actually behind. After all, he is worried that his descendants will not be able to eat enough without this craft." Jian Yong didn't know how to answer, so he could only explain from the root.

Even if it is taught to the disciple, it is incomplete, because the complete one can only be one's own children. But as a result, there is no inheritance from the son, or the son is unwilling to inherit it, then it is hard to say whether it is brought to the coffin with resentment or helplessness.

It may also be embarrassing and unable to explain to the disciple that he has taught incompletely and plans to teach again. As a teacher, such things are not allowed to happen. In addition, the disciples usually leave each other, and it is not easy to find them back.
