Plane red envelope

Chapter 337 Industry
Now that he has made his own shipbuilding plan, he can put the matter of Yu Tonghai aside for now.The most important thing at the moment is to find Zhao Ergou's father and build the framework of the shipyard first!

"Ergou, let's go back now, can this boat go away?"

Ergou said: "Commander, this boat is too damaged and cannot withstand strong winds and waves. It needs to be repaired if we want to sail it back, but we don't have any wood!"

"That's it..." Fang Qiang thought to himself, the lack of wood is a problem, but this ship is not bad, it's a pity that it is still here.

"Ergou, there are reeds all over here, where can I find wood for you? Think about it, as long as I drive the boat to the quarry, I can bring you a large amount of wood!"

Fighting Fang Qiang is not nonsense. Chuzhou and Dingzhou have virgin forests, but wood is not there!

Ergou didn't reply right away, but checked on the boat before saying: "Marshal, we will go back with the wind, so we don't have to repair it, but at least there must be a sail, otherwise we won't be able to get out of Poyang Lake at all!"

"Sail?" Fang Qiang blinked, and asked tentatively after a while: "The sail you mentioned is cloth, right?"

Ergou also blinked, and said firmly, "Yes! Sail is cloth!"

"Then there's no problem! Bu I have plenty! You wait..."

After half a day, the boat was repaired, but it was not repaired, it was just a sail added.Ergou's ability is really not built, the boat has been repaired casually by him, and it has regained its vitality.After another half day, everyone finally returned to the quarry.

The first thing Fang Qiang did when he returned to Caishi was to meet Zhao Ergou's father, Zhao Dashuan. This man is a talent and must be reused!And before that, you must show due respect!

Zhao Dashuan was also very excited when he saw Fang Qiang, and he was even more excited when he learned that Fang Qiang was going to build a shipyard.In this way, his shipbuilding skills will not be buried!
Zhao Dashuan and his family have made a living from shipbuilding for generations, and his generation is the most brilliant.At his peak, Zhao Dashuan was the second in command of Jinling Shipyard!However, he offended Shangfeng because he did not want to deduct the hard-earned money of the workers.In the end, he was exiled because of this incident.

The head of the Jinling Shipyard is a Mongolian nobleman, who is used to domineering and domineering, and feels that it is only right and proper to withhold money from workers.Zhao Dashuan is very principled, so he offended the nobleman in this matter, and the later things became obvious. Even if Zhao Dashuan came from a shipbuilding family, he was only a craftsman, and his social status was not high. The Mongolian nobles just used this small trick Put him in a dilemma of life and death!

Later, Zhao Dashuan took his son and ran away with the help of his workers!He has been away for three years. He has tasted the warmth and coldness of people outside, and finally became a quarryer as a refugee. There are many fishermen here. The father and son did not make a living by helping others repair boats, but later caught up Famine years, coupled with military disasters, almost starved to death. Fortunately, Fang Qiang ordered the opening of a warehouse to release food, which saved his life.

"Old man, I won't say any more polite words. The matter of the shipyard is already imperative. Please help me!"

"Don't worry, Marshal, the little old man will definitely do his best to repay the Marshal for saving his life!"

The matter was settled in this way. This Zhao Dashuan turned out to be an all-around talent. He knew everything about shipbuilding, from site selection to construction. Fang Qiang just explained other things and it had nothing to do with him. !

If you want to build a ship, you must have a dock. This is a big project, and it requires at least [-] laborers to work day and night. The most important thing Fang Qiang lacks now is people. In fact, a large number of refugees gather in his territory every day. They are assigned to various positions, some are farming, some are working, and some are soldiers...

Fang Qiang's most important thing is industry and military, these two are the most important things for the territory to discover and grow!

As for agriculture, Fang Qiang is not too worried. He has already introduced potatoes and corn. These two are really high-yield crops. As long as they are planted in large quantities in the territory, no matter how many refugees come, Fang Qiang will not worry about having nothing to eat. !

Industry is a very powerful word because it can form a system. How important is the industrial system?To give a simple example, the reason why the empire on which the sun never sets was able to establish colonies everywhere was because he first established a relatively complete industrial system.

This is what Fang Qiang is doing. He is committed to turning his territory into a modern industrial power!Of course, it's too early to talk about Jianguo, but sooner or later he will take this step!

What is industry?

Industry refers to the work and process of collecting raw materials and processing them into finished products. Industry is the product of social division of labor and has gone through several stages of development: handicraft industry, large-scale machinery industry, and modern industry.

There are not many machines in Fang Qiang's territory, and even if there are, they are very rudimentary, so its industrialization is still at the handicraft stage.However, his territory is fully equipped with the conditions for industrial development and growth - rich in coal and steel!
It has even formed a primary industrial sector: first of all, coal and steel, these two are almost inseparable. Steelmaking requires coal, and coal mining requires various tools. Fang Qiang is even trying to burn coke, but now It seems that the effect is not good, but he is not discouraged, as long as he perseveres, he will always succeed.

The second is machinery and chemical industry, which are two very advanced words, but Fang Qiang has already touched on them initially.In terms of machinery, Fang Qiang has already made a simple lathe, which is the kind with a gear and a drive shaft. The power system is not stable, and the precision of the parts is not high, so it can't do precise work, but he can make some long lathes. There is still no problem with the wooden poles. These round poles can be used as shells for eight-ox crossbows after they are glued with feathers, fitted with arrowheads, and tied with explosives.There are fifty such lathes in Du Lu's general camp, which can produce 1000 "cannonballs" a day.

In addition to the lathe, Fang Qiang also made a simple grinder. Its structure is also simple, but its function is very powerful. It is very efficient to use it to sharpen weapons!

Chemical industry is the chemical industry, and Fang Qiang's development in this field is the broadest. Gunpowder, cement, matches, perfume, and alkali production can all be included in it.

Especially worth mentioning is the soda production industry. Fang Qiang adopts Hou's soda production method, which not only has high purity, but also has guaranteed efficiency.

Alkali is a good thing, it can be used to produce paper, soap, dyes, smelt metals, etc...

In short, this thing is inseparable in modern industry.
