Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 196, Whale

At Tianjin Shipyard, Liu Jin is inspecting the latest whaling ship in the shipyard.

During this period of time, because of the various shipbuilding technologies provided by Liu Jin, coupled with Liu Jin's emphasis on and preferential treatment of shipbuilders, especially skilled workers, of course the most important thing is that Liu Jin has used the advanced management experience of later generations to make The people in the shipyard are learning while building ships, which has greatly improved the level of skilled workers in the shipyard.

Therefore, Tianjin Shipyard has produced some ships one after another. Of course, due to time constraints, large ships like Fuchuan cannot be produced for the time being, but boats for fishing can still be produced. of.

The reason why Tianjin has been able to persist until now is naturally related to Liu Jin's emphasis on shipbuilding and fishing. The original five Dafu boats have been temporarily remodeled and turned into fishing boats. They go to sea every day and can bring back ten boats each time. More than ten thousand catties of sea fish.

Coupled with the special fishing boats built later, the daily output of sea fish caught here in Tianjin has exceeded one million catties.

A million catties is 500 tons. This number is naturally not worth mentioning in later generations, but in this era, it is definitely a very terrifying number.

The harvest of millions of catties of sea fish every day makes the whole Tianjin full of the taste of sea fish. Everyone eats fish for three meals a day, and eats fish until they vomit. I am already tired of eating this sea fish, and I miss the taste of Wowotou very much.

However, Liu Jin was not satisfied with this, and his eyes were fixed on the whale again.

According to the reports of the sailors who went to sea, the number of whales in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea is extremely large, and groups of whales can often be seen.

Because of their huge size, whales have almost no natural enemies in this era. Humans have always maintained a sense of awe for this giant in the ocean, thinking that this huge whale is a god in the ocean, and cannot No disrespect.

But Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knows that whales are full of treasures, so he hangs around in the shipyard every day, discussing with the people in the shipyard to build a special whaling ship.

"The bow of the whaling ship must be reinforced, because once the whale is injured, it will run away desperately. The whale is huge and powerful. Once the structure of the ship is unstable, it is very likely that the whole ship will be destroyed. fall apart."

In the shipyard, a large ship has not yet been built, it is just a keel. The ship is more than [-] meters long and seven or eight meters wide. .

Beside the ship, many shipbuilders and workers gathered together. Liu Jin stood in front and erected a huge blackboard behind him, on which many things were written and drawn with chalk.

Liu Jin is now teaching the masters and workers of the shipyard, explaining the knowledge of the shipyard.

This shipbuilding is technical work, especially if you want to build a large ship that can go to sea, it is even more technical work. The people who do technology in this era are the people with the least status.

The inheritance of these technologies is often handed down from father to son. It is difficult to promote good technologies, and it is also difficult to make progress and development, because both carpenters and blacksmiths are often uneducated people.

In view of this situation, Liu Jin adopted the same strategy as that of Xishan Coal Industry on the one hand. Workers and masters in the shipyard need to attend classes to study, and there are many things to learn such as reading, literacy, mathematics, astronomy, etc. , work during the day, attend classes at night, and there are regular assessments.

Those who pass the assessment can be promoted in value and salary, and those who fail the assessment will be eliminated.

Under such a system, the workers and shipbuilders here in the shipyard are naturally studying hard and studying hard. Not to mention that it is an era of famine, even if it is not an era of famine, they will never find a better job than here in the shipyard. After doing the work, the salary is high, the treatment is good, and the status is also high. When you come, you don’t want to leave, and the people outside want to come in.

Carpenter Wan listened carefully to Liu Jin's lectures. The time of Liu Jin's lectures is very precious. He can learn a lot every time Liu Jin lectures.

"Okay, that's the end of today's class. Everyone go back to study and study, and strive to perfect this whaling ship as soon as possible."

Liu Jin's lecture lasted for more than an hour, and his mouth was parched, ready to take a rest after class.

"Mr. Liu, is this whale the legendary Kunpeng?"

The atmosphere in class was quite serious, but after Liu Jin announced that the get out of class was over, the atmosphere among everyone became more active. Carpenter Wan also raised his hand to ask Liu Jin.

"This whale is a whale, and Kunpeng is a Kunpeng. Whales are creatures that exist in the ocean in reality. This Kunpeng is something in a fairy tale. How could it be the same?"

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said, then from the corner of his eye, he saw Li Dongyang bringing some people coming, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you about this whale."

"This whale is the largest fish in the ocean. The largest whale can be more than ten feet long and weigh more than [-] catties. It is almost as huge as our largest blessing boat."

Hearing that Liu Jin was going to tell everyone about the whale, everyone immediately regained their spirits. Everyone liked to hear Liu Jin talk about things other than Daming, about things in the ocean.

On the other side, when Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao approached Liu Jin, they also found the shipyard here. When they heard Liu Jin talking about whales, they immediately became interested. They signaled to the people around them to keep quiet and came quietly Beside the crowd, they listened quietly.

"More than ten feet?"

"It weighs [-] catties~"

"It's as big as a big fortune boat~"

When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help opening their mouths. Here in Tianjin, as a large number of sea fish are caught every day, these kinds of big fish are commonplace, and it is not uncommon for a long time. But after hearing Liu Jin's description of the whale, everyone still couldn't help being surprised.

Some people kept looking at the big ship in the dock, and the figure of the whale appeared in their minds, imagining the huge size of the whale.

As for Li Dongyang, Zhou Jing, and Zhang Mao who just came over, they looked at each other in blank disbelief, each other was in disbelief, let alone seeing such a huge fish, this was the first time they had heard of it.

"Of course, only the largest whale can have this size, but this ordinary whale is also several feet long and weighs more than a hundred thousand catties. As for the tens of thousands of catties, it belongs to the small whale."

Seeing everyone's surprise, Liu Jin also smiled happily.

　Many book friends say that the books I write are very white. I admit this, and I also admit that I don’t have much ink in my stomach, but this personal attack is too much. Read it if you like it, delete the book if you don’t like it, and leave.
