The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 353 Shipbuilding Talent
The Huang family just started building a granary, which can only store five thousand shi of grain. Now they have successfully built a larger silo that can store seven or eight thousand shi of grain, and it will be even bigger in the future. This is the inevitable development of the times.

Huang Sheng brought back more than 20 stones of rice, and immediately filled the warehouse here.

Don’t panic if you have food at home. Daishan Island has enough food to feed 6 to [-] people for a year. Of course, there will be stability and unity here.

A lot of looms have been shipped from Huangjiawan Island, and the installation and commissioning are in progress. The cotton yarn from the cotton mill can be put into production immediately after leaving the factory.

The direction of development here is marine fishing, textile industry, agriculture and commerce, and heavy industry is not considered for the time being. This is still a matter of making the best use of the situation. First solve the big problem of eating and clothing, and then ask for protein from the sea to increase the food supply chain as much as possible.

Just when Huang Sheng was about to chat with Ye Haowu, Ye Chengjing, who had been busy with Mr. Huang, had already brought him to meet him.

The last time Ye Haowu operated, he had already gained some benefits. Now the Commander of Dinghaiwei is impatient to cross the sea to come to Zhoushan Island. The two thousand households in Zhoushan are under the management of Ye Haowu, Commander of the Guard, and promises to promote him to a higher level by the end of the year.

This is the eternal truth that there are people in the court who are good at being officials.Ye Xianggao has served as the chief assistant of the cabinet for many years, and there are so many old students and old officials. With real achievements, it is easy for an official in the guard to be promoted.

Ye Haowu came here specially today to thank Mr. Huang for his support and support. This kid has already learned from his young master Ye Cheng that Mr. Huang led the combined fleet to beat the Nanyang pirates away from the coast of Daming this time.

His attitude was even more correct, and he regarded himself as a running dog in front of Mr. Huang and kowtowed like garlic.

Of course, Huang Sheng wanted to support him again, and gave him more than [-] gains at once, and they were all middle-aged men. As long as they were experts, they could be seen from the faces of these heads that they were people who often went to sea.

The Zhejiang Navy met the fleeing pirate Zheng Yiguan, and beat them hard, it's okay!The imperial court knew that Zheng Yiguan, who had caused unrest in Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi in the past few months, was beaten and disappeared.

As for who was beaten and how, there are different opinions, but unfortunately no one can say for sure.

It is reasonable and legal for the Zhejiang Navy to also get involved!

Ye Haowu is confident, with the Ye family's network, with Master Huang's support, and with so many achievements, he can be promoted two levels in a row to become the commander of the guard!

He knelt down and kowtowed again and said, "Lord Huang, I will follow your lead after I am dismissed. If you have any orders, just ask. There are many friends in Zhejiang Xiaguan who can help you."

Huang Sheng hurriedly helped him up and said, "Young Master Ye can talk to me. Ye Qian's business is naturally from my own family. I want to buy some land on Zhoushan Island, take down the Zhongzhong Thousand Households, and support several officers under my command. , do you think it will be difficult?"

The land on Zhoushan Island is worthless at all, and many of them are unclaimed lands, which are now under the jurisdiction of Ye Haowu. He stated on the spot that within a few days, he would send the [-] mu of land deeds to Mr. Huang, who dare not ask for a tael of silver.

Of course, Ye Chengjing hoped that Ye Haowu would go further. Seeing that Mr. Huang had made such great contributions, this time not only could Ye Haowu be promoted, but also he could do a lot of favors. He accompanied Ye Haowu to Hangzhou to run an official position to share the benefits.

Mr. Huang asked to promote Jin Jin and Zhou Qiang, the hundred-household officer of Weifu Mountain Beiyu Qianhu Office in Aoshan, Shandong Province, to serve as Qianhu and Qianhu of Zhoushan Zhongzhong Qianhu Office. It is necessary to deal with the adults above in advance.

Huang Sheng saw Lu Chengzu's well-managed Fushan Institute, and decided to carry forward this model. He transferred Jin Jin and Zhou Qiang who had already accumulated experience to become officials in Zhoushan, which was equivalent to promoting them again.

The Spanish missionaries who followed Huang Sheng to Daishan Island were very excited to see that a large city with a population of 10 would be born here. They had already selected the site for the cathedral and asked Mr. Huang for approval before starting construction.

The land used for infrastructure construction did not choose the land, but followed the plan of Daishan Island to level the mountain. Huang Sheng was unhappy after hearing their plan, and asked them to build at least a cathedral that could allow three to five thousand people to worship at the same time.

Criticize these missionaries for not being aggressive. With such a large population, don't you even have the confidence to fool one adult into a religion?Feeling ashamed, these devout Christians immediately revised their plans and hired labor to build the cathedral with full confidence.

Huang Sheng dealt with matters related to Daishan Island and Zhoushan Island, leaving Mr. Ye Jiangong and Mr. Ma Wubai temporarily stationed here, and equipped them with eighteen Hongyi cannons seized from Xiwei Island.

One hundred gunners were selected from the surrendered pirates and handed over to Xiao Changgui, the gunner of the Fuzhou Uprising, to command, leaving six young educated gunners to serve as cultural teachers and town governors.

Another 3 people were brought from Fujian all at once, plus the number of aborigines, Huang family immigrants and the first batch of people who were brought in was over [-]. It is definitely not appropriate to rely solely on Xiangyong as an armed force.

Leaving two hundred gunners and 23 taels of armored chariots with them going out to sea, it is no problem to have 360 ​​coachmen, and there will be more than three to five thousand township warriors trained here soon. Zheng Yiguan's attack is enough to protect himself.

Daishan Island has already been taken into the bag, and most of Zhoushan Island has also been taken. In a few months, the guards of the Zhongsuo will be the Huang family horses again. This place will soon become two unsinkable aircraft carriers. It is a matter of course for the tentacles to reach the South China Sea. .

This time, a small castle was built on Daishan Island to guard the port and at the same time become a beacon lighthouse. In order to save the cost, it does not need to be too large and a circumference of one and a half miles is enough. This fortress was named "Daishan Fort" because of the island.

Don't be so troublesome on Zhoushan Island. There are two ready-made Qianhusuo City and Daishan Fort there to watch and help each other. The telescope deployed by Huang's family can completely communicate with each other.

When Ye Chengjing is successfully operated, with the help of Ye Haowu, the commander of the guard, Zhoushan Island is of course equal to his own territory. Don't worry, let Daishan Island prosper first, and don't worry that Zhoushan Island will fly.

The Huang family has the will of the people in Zhoushan, and they are strong enough to eat the Zhejiang navy, so there will be no accidents.

More than a thousand craftsmen from Fujian who took their families to the Huang family were warmly welcomed by Gu San, and they immediately got housing and jobs respectively.Seeing that the working and living environment on Daishan Island is much better than the government-run shipyards and workshops they used to work for, these people were all elated.

Many shipbuilders tried their best to express themselves, because after only a few days they found that the monthly money of one or two taels of silver was the minimum existence of the craftsmen of the Huang family. Both are more.

The Huang family has already formed rules on how to pass the exam, and the principle of fairness is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as there are really talented craftsmen, they can find a chance to prove themselves.

Fujian is the original research and development place of Fuchuan, and there are too many excellent shipbuilding talents. This time, the Huang family has acquired hundreds of people, and its technical strength has skyrocketed.Gu San has already selected the best among the best, and is going to send 100 people to Huangjiawan Island to be used by Zhao Shimin, the technical director.

Gu San knew that the Huang family was constantly developing new types of warships, and he was always paying attention to doing his part for such a good thing as improving the Huang family's combat effectiveness.
