Daming One Piece

Chapter 45 I am the rule (first update, please recommend, please collect)
"The apprentice has met the master!"

As soon as he saw Shi Yiwen, Fang Dayang saluted respectfully, his eyes full of eagerness.Although he is already 50 years old, he also has a desire to build a big ship in his heart, not just because of curiosity, but because building a sea-going ship really makes money.

Learned to build sea-going ships, generations to come have no worries about eating and drinking!
Ancient crafts are passed down from generation to generation. Among the artisans in Zhangzhou, there are naturally shipbuilding and repairing ships for a living. But don’t look at the fact that shipbuilding and ship repairing are nothing, but ordinary people can’t do it.In the entire Zhangzhou, there are only five or six families who can build ships and repair ships, all of which are handed down from the ancestors, but only two families can build large ships that can go overseas.

Even if the boat built by Fang Dayang is strong, stable, and watertight, but his boat cannot go out to sea.Because when a ship sails on the sea, it will encounter turbulent waves and roll to the bottom of the sea. If the hull is not strong, both people and the ship will be buried in the belly of the fish on the bottom of the sea.

But how can the hull of a sea-going ship be strengthened, and how can it withstand strong winds and waves?
Even if Fang Dayang has spent half his life repairing ships, he still doesn't know how to do it.But now, Mr. Shi's pattern made him seem to understand the key point.

But if you understand it, you have to understand it. After all, you have to build the boat yourself before you know if it will work.

But Mr. Shi was so busy these days that he didn't care about him at all. He waited and waited for Fang Dayang, who couldn't see anyone, to come to the door by himself.

"Old Fang!"

"Master" made Shi Yiwen remember who this person is, isn't this his apprentice.

Shipwright.

A while ago, I asked them to go back and study the blueprints first, and they should have almost understood the blueprints by now.

"How is it, how is the blueprint research going?"

Shi Yiwen asked.

In fact, when Fang Dayang and the others left that day, he gave the blueprints to Fang Dayang and Li Fuxing. Although they are shipwrights, their status in the village is not low. The word "sea" cannot be separated from the boat.What's even more rare is that the two of them are quite simple and honest. Although their skills are mediocre, the important thing is that they don't have any ambiguity towards sister Yan Ruyu. Shi Yiwen likes such simple and honest people the most.

And as simple as they are, there are still a dozen in the village.

If it weren't for the existence of these people, I'm afraid that once Yan Siqi died, the two sisters Yan Ruyu would have been devoured by those covetous uncles.

Even Zheng Yiguan's forced marriage is scruples about the existence of these people, even if they are small people, but small people... that is also the human heart!
People like this don't win over, who do they win over?

Could it be those pirates who have milk and are mothers?
"Master, brother Fuxing and I have been studying the drawings given by the master these days. We made blueprints and made some shapes. If the master is free, the apprentice will take the master to see those shapes?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Shi Yiwen agreed.

Soon, they arrived at a shed by the river. It was a simple wooden shed. There were many tools piled up on the walls and on the floor. It should be a work shed. On the river beach in front of the work shed, there was a boat that was about to be completed. , a few people are busy over there.

This is the shipyard in Beigang. It is said to be a shipyard, but it is actually just a small workshop by the river, which is to build some small boats and maintain the ships.

"Master, look at these things I did with Fuxing these days!"

Fang Dayang lifted a rag, revealing what he said.

"Ah! Is it a model?"

Shi Yiwen glanced at it, and then understood that shipbuilders in this era don't have blueprints when building ships, and they use models instead.These models are all reduced by them according to a certain ratio, and the data in them are only understood in their minds. It is useless for others to take this model away, because those key data, such as the thickness of the ship's plank, the position of the compartment, and even The location of the nails, these issues are the key.

The reason why Lao Fang and Lao Li couldn’t build a big ship is because they don’t know these details. Even if they often repair ships, they still can’t figure out the key points and follow the gourd?Maybe it fell apart before the ship reached the sea.

"Are these models made by you?"

Picking up a small model, Shi Yiwen inspected it carefully, and there was indeed a bit of similarity. After all, the blueprints were with them. It was really not easy to make such a model with those simple blueprints alone.

"Master, this disciple is really a bit stupid. Although I copied the drawing, I always felt that there was something wrong, so I made more, but although the appearance was not accurate, after doing these, the disciple was considered I figured it out, Master's boat is different from our boat, it is made of ribs to prop up the hull, as long as the ribs are thick and tight, no matter how big the wind and waves are, the key lies in the keel and the ribs superior……"

Fang Dayang seemed very excited. For these generations of shipbuilders, some things are easy to understand. Maybe the Eastern and Western sailboats are completely different, but they always have something in common.Finally, he turned his head to look at Shi Yiwen, and said:

"Master, do you think what I said is right? I think we can definitely build this boat. Not only can we build such a boat, but we can also build a bigger boat."

When he said this, his face was full of anticipation. At this moment, Shi Yiwen actually saw some kind of expectation in his eyes, and it could even be said to be thinking.

"Now let's build such an eight-foot-high ship first, and then we can build a ten-foot ship in the future, and even a fifteen-foot, twenty-foot ship can be built."

Looking at Fang Dayang with some surprise, if he understood correctly, Lao Fang was talking to him about his ideals in life?

What is his ideal?
It is to build a big ship!
Counting it, he had been in Beigangzhai for a long time, but most of the people he came into contact with had no dreams.Most people in the village have very clear ideas, nothing more than having a home that can shelter from wind and rain, and their wives and children are warm on the kang, and they are satisfied.

But now, Lao Fang's ideals have overturned his cognition.

Although he knew before that he had the idea of ​​building a big ship, he never thought that his idea was not just to build a big ship!
"...When the time comes, the big ship we build will be able to sail to the end of the sea just like those red-haired ones..."

Looking at Lao Fang in surprise, Shi Yiwen couldn't help feeling a little dazed. Is this the old Fang he knew?
He is clearly a man with lofty ideals.

Lao Fang has ideas and ideals, which is a good thing!

"However, master, I have never been able to understand the size of this boat, so the shape and size of the boat are always a bit wrong, and this disciple can't figure it out..."

Looking at Mr. Shi, Lao Fang felt nervous in his heart. When he made up the shape, he made it up and down, and always felt that something was missing. What was the difference?
Size!
"Oh, you mean the size..."

Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Well, prepare here, and we will start building the ship tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Old Fang was taken aback for a moment, then said.

"Yes, but Master, tomorrow is not an auspicious day!"

It's not an auspicious day, how can I start work?There is no such rule.

"Auspicious day!"

Shi Yiwen laughed loudly.

"With me here, why do we need auspicious days!"
