A few days later.
Yun Chao led his soldiers to Jiaozhou Bay.
Yun Chao didn't come so far just to bask in the cold.
The Laizhou Bay Salt Farm is sufficient for sun-drying salt. After the specific salt-drying process is developed, it will not be too late to promote it to other places.
The reason why Yun Chao came to Jiaozhou Bay in a hurry was to prepare for shipbuilding.
There were shipyards in the Dawu Dynasty, but unfortunately the large shipyards were located in the south. The shipyards along the northern coast, namely in Jiaozhou, were pretty good.
There is a government shipyard and two civilian shipyards in Jiaozhou Bay.
The scale of government shipyards is slightly larger, while the scale of civilian shipyards is average.
Yun Chao doesn't know how to build ships, so he plans to leave professional matters to professionals.
Before arriving, Yun Chao asked his soldiers to notify the Yun Family Army who were working locally, and brought all the officials from the government and private shipyards to the seaside.
Yun Chao was generally very polite to the common people.
Yun Chao was not so polite to the heads of several shipyards.
As a superior person, especially the leader of a force, Yun Chao was not allowed to be casually polite.
If you imitate the politicians of later generations and smile like a chrysanthemum no matter who you meet, you will only be regarded as a fool.
Each era has its own characteristics. In ancient times, when classes were clearly defined, dragging servants to eat together would be as absurd in later generations as dragging housekeepers to take a bath together.
Therefore, Yun Chao only abolished the kneeling ceremony in the military, and did not force his functional departments to become waiters. He still had to speak of dignity, otherwise how could he intimidate those young people!
Several shipyard leaders had already witnessed the Yun Family Army's treatment of local tyrants and evil gentry. When they heard that they were going to meet the leader of the Yun Family Army, they were so scared that they cried out in fear.
Especially the person in charge of the government shipyard could not even stand. When he saw Yun Chao, he fell on the ground and kowtowed desperately.
Yun Chao has obtained specific information on several guys.
Judging from the data, none of the three people are good.
Not to mention the person in charge of the government shipyard, the bosses of the two private shipyards are also tough people.
According to the past practices of the Yun Family Army, even if these three guys survive, they will dig until they die.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find a more suitable man-made ship, so Yun Chao could only make an exception and let them serve their crimes.
The shipyard does have shipbuilding craftsmen, but judging from the previous experience of setting up factories, it is difficult for the craftsmen of the Dawu Dynasty to have any management level.
A shipyard is not a small workshop, it is not as simple as simply manufacturing ships.
Organization and management, purchasing raw materials, and planning and arrangements all require professionals and cannot be done by a group of craftsmen.
If Yun Chao still established a small workshop like he did in Wolong Village and managed it with a few craftsmen, there would be no problem.
If you build a factory, you won't be able to rely on a bunch of uneducated craftsmen, and it will be difficult to manage it well.
Some things really can't be taken for granted, especially shipbuilding.
To build a large ship, both the manpower and material resources required are not a small amount.
Once it was messed up, it would be a huge waste, and Yunchao couldn't afford the time cost alone.
"According to what you have done, even beheading a hundred times will not wash away the sins you have committed. However, God has good intentions. I can give you a chance now. Who is willing to build a ship for me?"
"I!"
"I do!"
"Sir, the shipyards of villains build the best ships!"
"Nonsense, your government shipyard is a joke, it can't even compare to my shipyard!"
"Wang, please stop talking nonsense. It's time you knelt down in front of me and begged me to take your concubine!"
"Guan Guan, you still have the nerve to say that, if it weren't for you..."
"enough!"
Yun Chao swung the riding crop hard, frightening the three guys to the ground again, not even daring to fart.
"I don't care about any grievances you had in the past. If you want to survive, there is only one way, which is to build a good boat! Remember, only two of you three guys will survive in the end. Whoever builds the worst boat will win." If the management level is the worst, I will kill anyone!"
After saying that, Yun Chao stopped talking to the three guys and asked people to take them down.
Yunchao plans to merge several shipyards together to concentrate on big things.
Three guys, Yun Chao is going to let them build three ships respectively.
The shipyard is still generally in charge of Yun Jiajun's own people, but they are only responsible for administration and not business.
The business still has to be left to three professional guys.
Yun Chao has carefully investigated. Whether it is the person in charge of the government shipyard or the two owners of the private shipyard, they are all good at building ships. They are not amateur leaders who are experts. Otherwise, Yun Chao would not be able to keep them.
Building a big ship doesn't happen overnight.
Yun Chao's time is very tight and he plans to leave after making arrangements.
Before leaving, Yun Chao summoned three criminals and some experienced shipwrights together to discuss specific shipbuilding matters with them.
To be on the safe side, Yunchao did not build large warships as soon as he came up.
According to the warships that the original shipyard can produce, we will first prepare to build a few ships on a trial basis.
The first is to get the team together, and the second is to see the shipbuilding capabilities of the shipyard.
If there are quality problems with the ships manufactured under the supervision of Yun Jiajun, Yun Chao will have to find another way.
Having lived in two lifetimes, Yun Chao certainly understands that one cannot rush for quick results.
Yun Chao knows only too well the final results of many blindly launched projects in later generations.
After spending a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and time, Yun Chao didn't want to end up with nothing but loneliness.
What's more, even if Yun Chao wanted to build a large warship now, he couldn't.
Without him, there is no material.
These days, ships are made of wood.
Not to mention whether there is wood for building large ships near Jiaozhou Bay. Even if there is, it will not be used if it is cut temporarily.
The three shipyards have never manufactured such a large ship before, and the wood they prepared was not that large.
Freshly cut trees cannot be used until they are completely dry.
If you build a boat with wood that has not dried thoroughly, the life of the boat will be short.
When drying wood, it is best not to expose it to the sun, but to dry it slowly in the shade.
This drying process alone will take at least one or two years, or even longer.
Only with thoroughly dry wood can ships manufactured withstand the corrosion of sea water for a long time.
Of course, if you are too anxious, Yun Chao is not helpless.
A large drying plant can be built to dry the wood quickly.
However, the price of this is high. First, it requires money, and second, the wood dried by drying is not as good as natural shade drying.
After leaving Jiaozhou Bay, Yun Chao headed north again.
After such a long time, the transformation of the Dengzhou Navy has been completed, and Yun Chao can go review it!
