Plane red envelope

Chapter 416 Shipyard Expansion Plan

Zhao Dashuan excitedly went to announce the holiday news to the boatmen, and his son Zhao Ergou continued to chat with Fang Qiang.

This simple young man inherited his father's shipbuilding skills. After this period of experience, he has become quite calm, far from the little brother who hid behind Huzi and Feiyu back then.

"Stinky boy!" Fang Qiang stretched out his hand to pat the back of his head, Er Gou grinned and avoided it.

Fang Qiang took out a silk package from his bosom, handed it to Er Gou and said, "I heard that you got married? I was busy a while ago, and I didn't bother to have a glass of wedding wine. I got this pair of bracelets from my wife." Take it, bring it to your daughter-in-law when you go back, and treat it as a congratulatory gift from your sister-in-law!"

"Brother Qiang..."

Hearing this, Er Gou's eyes turned red. He knew Fang Qiang's identity, the Duke of Wu in the territory, was going to be the emperor in the future!And he himself is just an ordinary boatman, and his wife is also a country girl from the village chief's family.He never expected that Fang Qiang could attend the wedding, let alone that Fang Qiang could give a gift.

But he didn't know that Fang Qiang had always remembered it!
"Such a big man is still crying, go home! I'm upset!"

"Brother Qiang, I... Hey!"

Er Gou agreed and left, the pair of jade bracelets in his arms seemed to weigh a thousand catties.In fact, now he is also eager to return home, because on the day of his wedding, he just returned to the shipyard after a hasty obeisance to heaven and earth, especially his father Zhao Dashuan...

Now that I think about it, I really owe this childhood sweetheart's daughter-in-law.

Ergou came to the gate of the shipyard. At this time, a large number of shipwrights gathered here. Each of their faces was filled with happy smiles. The condolences brought by Wu Guogong were quite practical!

Not only canned food and cloth, but also salt and meat, things that the common people will use in their daily lives.Mr. Wu Guogong was so kind as rain, he had thought of all the small details like this!
In fact, the reason why the boatmen worked so hard was not entirely to repay Fang Qiang's kindness, but largely because it was a decent job.

Shipbuilding is a technical job, and the wages are relatively high. The boatmen are quite respected in the local area.Men from ten miles and eight villages will give a thumbs up when they mention it.

Especially this time, Wu Guogong distributed a lot of benefits. For these hard-working boatmen, this is simply a great honor. Just taking it home, looking at the envious eyes of the neighbors, a feeling of returning home Spontaneously...

There are 2 boatmen in Jinling Shipyard, and the condolences brought by Fang Qiang shone within half an hour. Seeing the workers rushing home, talking and laughing, Zhao Dashuan's face was full of joy.

Once upon a time, the Jinling Shipyard was still under the rule of the Tartars. Life at that time was simply dark, with heavy work and whips from the supervisors every day. In the eyes of those Mongolian nobles, these Han people were not human at all. They are slaves, cattle and sheep, the objects of their exploitation!
It’s better to be Mr. Wu. Although the boatmen are still working day and night, everyone’s mood is very different from before. In addition, the shipyard has never defaulted on wages. As long as you work hard, you will definitely have a good meal. It is important that the boatmen have dignity here!

So everyone works hard without feeling tired!
"Old man, what do you think?"

At some point, Fang Qiang came to Zhao Dashuan. He found that the old man was quietly watching the distance, lost in thought, so he asked a question.

"Master... the workers asked me to thank you..."

"No thanks, this is what I should do..."

Fang Qiang's words were not pretentious, but truly from the heart. He did pay some to these workers, but they also gave him the greatest return!

Fang Qiang said: "Old man, you should go home and have a rest. The work in the shipyard is heavy and you can't finish it in a short time!"

"Commander... I'm old, but I'm content to be able to live such a life in my old age! I just want to do more while my arms and legs are still functioning, so that I won't have any regrets when I can't work anymore in the future... Commander, you may have other things to do here this time... This old man will not do anything else in his life, he only knows how to build ships and likes shipbuilding, so if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Fang Qiang saw the heart of this old man. This is a very pure person. He put all his enthusiasm into his work. As long as he works, he is happy and he is down-to-earth!

Fang Qiang said: "Old man, this time I came here to build ships! I want to build the most powerful fleet in the world, so I also need the most powerful warships, so our Jinling Shipyard needs to be expanded!"

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, Zhao Dashuan smiled happily. He took Fang Qiang's hand to his office involuntarily, and followed by rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find a blueprint.

"Commander, look at this..."

This should be something like a map, with many places marked with red pens. Fang Qiang knows the big winding river, which is the mother river of China, the Yangtze River!
As for those dots in the Yangtze River valley, he doesn't know what they are!

"This is……"

Zhao Dashuan said: "Marshal, the old man knows how to build ships, so when he was free, he surveyed the terrain of the entire lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Any place marked with the origin is suitable for building a shipyard. In addition, I have a list here. They are all from Jinling Shipbuilding. The more capable managers in the factory will become qualified shipyard directors when they are released now. I have recorded their respective personalities and work experiences in this book, and you can choose for yourself..."

"This……"

When Fang Qiang took the map and the notebook, his chest felt as if he had been hit hard. He didn't expect the old man to think about such a long-term matter, let alone that he had already prepared everything!This is a man truly worthy of respect...

Fang Qiang is not a hypocritical person, so he didn't say any words of gratitude. It's good to keep some things in mind, but it's useless to talk about them all day long!
"Commander, my shipwrights and I have been designing a new type of warship recently, but none of us have ever fought in a naval battle. After all, it is just a war on paper. So I want to send some young shipwrights to serve in the navy. Can you give me some help? Make arrangements!”

"Okay! No problem! The old man is very thoughtful!" Zhao Dashuan's idea is quite good. Fang Qiang of course agreed. He said: "Feiyu and Heitou are your juniors, just tell them about this! In addition, it's okay!" , The boatmen who participated in the navy are given two salaries! One in the shipyard and one in the navy, this matter is set as a permanent rule, just say I said it!"
