When Zhang Shun took people to visit Chen Lan, Shi Jin took people to inspect the shipbuilding workshop.
In a coastal fishing village fifty miles away from the temporary water village in Laizhou, Shi Jin sent people to bribe the officials of the Laizhou government office.
Meng Kang changed his name to Meng San and safely set up a shipbuilding workshop here with nearly two hundred carpenters and craftsmen to build sea ships.
The boat production process is quite complex and uses fixed technological processes.
The manufacture of a ship, from preparing materials, erecting the keel to painting, is all done manually.
Shipbuilding materials need to be light, strong, and water-resistant.
In China, trees such as camphor, fir, pine, and ironwood are mostly used.
Choose the wood and let it dry for a few years.
The first step is to erect the keel, and then nail "flat bottoms" on both sides of the keel to increase the area and prevent the ship from shaking during navigation, making it easier to operate; Next, the ribs are matched and fixed with beams.
Low seats are installed in between, divided into parallel compartments, and the bulkheads are bound to complete the frame of the ship; Then nail the longitudinal member side plates, first nail the belly side plate, and then bind the side plates upward from the bottom of the ship.
After the side plates are bound, the deck and deck edges are covered to complete the hull; Then there is the building of the house, that is, the boss's platform and bedroom, making the rudder, mast, sail car, anchor car, etc.; Finally, the putty workers caulked the seams, repaired the plaster, and applied paint to complete the entire ship.
More than a dozen people including Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Li Kui were walking in the shipbuilding workshop.
While listening to Meng Kang's explanation of ship construction, they watched the keels in front of them being spliced.
The "flat bottom" is nailed on both sides of the keel.
This ship was the first sea-going ship built by Liangshan.
For safety reasons, Shi Jin did not dare to ask Meng Kang to improve it.
It was built according to the traditional two-thousand-stone sea-going ship of the Song Dynasty.
The traditional two-thousand-stone sea-going ships of the Song Dynasty were generally more than ten feet long, three feet high, and twenty-five feet wide, and could carry two thousand stones.
There is a unique watertight cabin structure at the bottom of the seagoing ship.
The ship is divided into three cabins: the front bilge is used for the stove and water tank.
The middle cabin is divided into four rooms.
The back cabin is more than ten feet high and has windows on all four walls.
Shi Jin took a look and asked: "Brother Meng Kang, how long will it take to build such a ship?"
Meng Kang thought for a while and said, "It takes about 250 days to build a sea-going ship with a load of two thousand stones {about 120 tons}."
Shi Jin heard this and said, "If it takes 250 days, can it be faster?"
Meng Kang shook his head and said: "Brother, sea-going ships are different from others and cannot seek speed.
If in the vast sea, once the ship is damaged due to construction errors, it will lead to the death of the entire ship."
"I was confused, safety comes first in construction" Shi Jin pondered for a while and said, "If we use division of labor, each carpenter is only responsible for one task, that is, those who plan wood will only plan wood, and those who nail boards will only nail boards.
Will this be faster?"
Meng Kang thought for a while and said: "If several ships are built at the same time, it may shorten the overall construction time, but it may take a little longer than building just one ship.
After all, we only have so many people."
Shi Jin heard and said: "You mean, if we adopt the division of labor, it will take about three to four hundred days to build several ships at the same time."
Meng Kang nodded and said, "Well, that's roughly it."
Sure enough, streamlined production is not a panacea.
It is only suitable for large-scale, standardized production to reduce overall costs and time.
Otherwise, with modern technology, small batch production and construction of large ships and aircraft would still be very time-consuming, even as long as one or two years.
Shi Jin said: "If that's the case, you'll have to wait anyway.
Two or three hundred days are almost the same.
Brother Meng Kang, we bought the wood for five sea ships, so you can build them at the same time."
Meng Kang said: "If we build it at the same time, the water village needs to be expanded, and it is best to recruit more carpenters and craftsmen."
Shi Jin said: "I will let Zhu Gui assist you in the carpentry and craftsmanship matters.
You just need to build the sea ship with peace of mind."
After an inspection, Shi Jin told Meng Kang to build sea ships carefully, and he took Li Kui and others and hurried back to the water village.
Zhang Shun has returned and is waiting for Shi Jin in the camp.
As soon as he saw Shi Jin walking into the handsome tent, Zhang Shun stood up and shouted: "Brother, I didn't do what you asked me to do.

Please punish me."
Shi Jin sat down and said, "Brother Zhang Shun, please explain the matter in detail."
Hearing Zhang Shun's description, Shi Jin smiled without a smile.
Dozens of taels of silver This is sending beggars away.
Shi Jin also thought about persuading them to surrender, but the three of them together had more than 300 bandits, 2 medium-sized ships, and more than 80 fishing boats.
Liangshan's newly established navy only had more than 400 people, 4 large ships and 20 small ships.
It did not have an advantage in strength.
They surrendered, and Shi Jin didn't know how to deal with them.
If your status is low, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied.
If his status is high, I'm afraid Zhang Heng and Li Jun will be dissatisfied.
What's more important is that these three pirates are all ruthless people, as long as the ships they rob are never left alive.
This made Shi Jin very dissatisfied with their cruel and unkind style.
Shi Jin planned to forcibly recruit the three of them after establishing a foothold in Liu Dao.
After all, the three of them are familiar with this sea area and can help Liu Jun, Zhang Heng and the others adapt to HNA faster.
When they are willing to change their ways, let them go.
If he refuses to repent, he will have no choice but to be dealt with by military law.
But now it seems that these three guys really treat me as a dish.
If I don't show my true intentions, I'm afraid I will be looked down upon by them.
Shi Jin said with a cold face: "It's not your fault.
It's because Chen Lan was too arrogant.
Brothers, Chen Lan on Liudao rejected our proposal.
What should we do?"
Li Kui immediately shouted: "Brother, what else is there to say?
Since those pirates don't give you face, Tieniu will lead people to the island and destroy those birdmen."
Zhu Wu said: "Those pirates must be wiped out, but if they don't do it cleanly.
If they escape, I'm afraid it will bring us a lot of trouble.
After all, we have lived here for many years and the sea is more familiar to us.
Zhang Heng Their training time is short, and there are not enough ships at sea.
It will be more difficult to destroy them in one fell swoop.
It would be safer if we could mobilize another 200 sailors and more than 50 ships from Liangshan."
Shi Jin said: "No, there are only 600 sailors in Liangshan now.
They still want to defend Liangshan, and they are already stretched thin.
Now if we deploy more than 200 people and more than 50 ships, it will definitely not work.
Is there any good plan?"
When Zhu Wu heard this, he thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, brother, we can only divide them.
If we defeat the three groups of thieves individually, there are only more than 300 people in total to fight against us.
We only need to find a way to divide them and win."
They are not difficult” Shi Jin said: "Brother, please tell me your strategy."
Zhu Wu said: "I heard that when the three men worked together to rob the ships in the sea, Chen Lan relied on his own strength.
Every time he sent out troops to rob, he always took 60 to 70 percent, leaving only a little for Wanbao and Wang Gang.
Wang Gang and the others were against Chen Landuo has complaints.
The eldest brother has a good reputation for being generous and generous.
If he sends someone to lobby the other two, he will say that he is the only one.
If they submit, let them sit in a high position, or agree that after Chen Lan's death, Liu Island will be under their control, and then let Chen Lan hear the news.
It doesn't matter whether Wang Gang and the others will submit, as long as they rise up.

If we are suspicious and unwilling to cooperate together, we can attack Chen Lan with all our strength.
Once Chen Lan is dead, we will not be afraid of the Diaoerhu Wang Gang and Huan Tianlang Wanbao."
When Shi Jin heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right, just do as my wise brother wishes."
Zhu Wu said: "Tomorrow Zhu Wu will go visit the Diaoer Tiger Wang Gang and Fan Tian Lang Wan Bao."
Everyone should pay attention to their health and eat regularly.
Otherwise, you will be like a fat person who has to spend money to see a doctor and take medicine.
Get enough sleep and have regular meals:
