The result of the assessment was that fifteen or sixteen men, including the clan leader, who had shipbuilding skills stayed in Bopu as shipyard employees and moved with their families into the newly built Baitu Village. This group of shipyard employees could not live together in the name of a big family. Together, Wu De rejected their request to live together: all adult married men must register their own household registration.
Wu De also further improved the regulations. Only three generations are allowed to exist in each household registration. The first two generations are allowed to have one couple each. If the third generation gets married, they will establish a separate family. Married brothers are prohibited from remaining in the same household.
The dismantled small households are then mixed into each standard house respectively. Each standard house is only allowed to have a maximum of two families from the same family.
The remaining Lin family members were all moved to Bopu, dispersed according to the same method, and then lived separately in the residential area of Bairen Commune to be used as basic labor force. In this way, the Lin family, one of the two ruling families in Baitu Village, was completely dismantled. The patriarch Lin Xianming also lost his original prestige. Now he can only go to work in the shipyard - each of their families owes money to the Cross Travel Group. The purchase price of sixty taels of silver. In fact, many members of the Lin family can afford this money, but no one of them dares to get rich for fear of being robbed by these thieves.
If the older Lin family members are deference to Lingao's power-traveling group because they have witnessed the tyranny of the government, then the younger ones who grew up in Baitu Village, a no-nonsense area, are quite dissatisfied. Especially those children from the nearby branch, who have been in the upper echelons of the village since childhood, are even more worried about the loss of prestige. The most unacceptable thing is that a low-ranking member of the family, who usually has a low status in the clan, becomes a shipyard employee because he is skilled in the work.
Naturally, Lin Gonglao did not join the ranks of employees, but he was not married yet and could continue to stay under his father's household registration, but his status became a "community member" who had to work every day to earn work points.
Employees receive a monthly salary and their income is high; members of the commune only work as laborers every day, doing hard and tiring work. He couldn't stand this alone.
A cousin who had been hanging out with him spoke: "Brother, please tell me something - what did uncle think? Our Lin family just broke up like this?!"
"What else can I do?" said a guy squatting on the ground with a wilted head and brain, "This guy is very capable -"
Lin Gonglao's brother Lin Gongxun kicked him fiercely: "You are a scum of the Lin family! You are a coward! I even doubt whether you are a descendant of the Lin family! Can you even say this?"
"But-" The guy who got beaten seemed to be a doormat and didn't dare to resist. He just muttered, "I can't beat them."
"Fuck your mother's balls, don't they just have better weapons and blunderbuss? If they want to play hand-to-hand combat, I'll beat him seven or eight times!" The guy who beat him said aggressively, while facing someone not far away. The sentry at the counter glanced furtively. Everyone seemed particularly displeased. Seeing that the surrounding sentries and short-haired "cadres" did not interfere, they became even more angry.
"It's just that the eldest brother and second brother's skills are not enough."
"Anyone who wins with a firearm is not a hero!"
“You don’t need firearms, you can fight them one on one, and you won’t beat them until they are all strewn with teeth!”
"I don't think I'm bullying them when they're one against one. There are so many that I dare not say. One against three."
"Look at how shabby they are, the clothes they wear can't even cover their buttocks."
"All the heroes in our Lin family are bloody!"
"The Lin family doesn't have a coward like you! He must be a bastard!"
…
It was quiet at first, then became louder and louder. It seemed that everyone's anger was vented on this unlucky guy, with dirty words mixed with fists and kicks falling on him, and this person quickly rolled around and "get out".
At this time, a nephew of Lin Gonglao named Lin Guangding squeezed over and whispered: "Uncle Gonglao, please stop scolding everyone, be careful that the walls have ears."
This was a well-intentioned remark, but Lin Gonglao scolded: "You are also a loser! You are a piece of shit with no eggs. A'aozi are all overseas barbarians. I scolded them in front of them, but they couldn't understand." He said loudly in southern Fujian. He said seven or eight swear words to a "True Kun" in the distance. Sure enough, the other person looked at him without any reaction, and the surrounding Lin family disciples burst into applause.
"Okay! Brother Kung Lao is really awesome!"
"Aozi are all bad guys! I don't even dare to let out a fart."
"Aozi doesn't dare to offend our Lin family, our great uncle is a shipbuilder!"
Lin Guangding also wanted to admonish: "Well, Uncle Kudos, some of the long-term workers working for them are from our place -"
"Hmph, what are these traitors afraid of?" Lin Gonglao suddenly felt that he was very powerful and was not afraid of anything. "I would crush them to death with just one finger."
While he was bragging, Lin Xianming rushed over and scolded in a low voice: "You are seeking death! What are you farting on?" He looked around carefully, "Why do you think our Lin family has not wiped out the whole family?"
Lin Gonglao was obviously not convinced and wanted to say something louder.
"Stop talking, let's all disperse and go back!" He said, dragging his son to a remote place.
"Don't say such nonsense in the future!" Lin Xianming whispered, "This group of thieves is incredible."
"Dad, sooner or later they will be destroyed by the surrounding sea lords. Even if the sea lords cannot destroy them, we will send people to report to the government, and the court will also destroy them. Once the soldiers arrive-"
As he spoke, he received a hard blow on the head: "The imperial court? The imperial court has done nothing to us! Without the imperial court, we can still live happily guarding our ancestral graves in Fujian!" Lin Xianming slowed down his tone as he spoke, "Kun... Short-haired people can still live well, they are given a house to live in and wages, so that we don't have to work in vain. We, ordinary people, whoever becomes the emperor have to pay taxes and have food, clothing and shelter. Don't give it to me. Call for trouble!"
When Lin Xianming saw that his son finally stopped talking, he said: "How old are you? I don't know how high the sky is! What's the point of the government? Just work for me honestly, and I will naturally think of getting you to work in the shipyard." Employee. Short-haired, I still value your father very much."
Lin Gonglao muttered something. He and his father had different ideas. Lin Xianming just wants to lead his people to live peacefully in troubled times. Lin Gonglao still has the lust for power of a young man, and he never forgets the good days when the Lin family was a toubob in Baitu for many years, and he was the son of the village chief, Huyaoheliu.
In comparison, the Liu family's backlash was much smaller. Firstly, they had a smaller population, and Lu Youtian was a person who was very aware of current affairs. He had no doubts about the traveler's policy, and immediately had all the tribesmen spread out to register, and even His son Lu Shouyong was not married and registered a separate household. His request was simple, to keep his son, a blacksmith who was not yet a master, by his side so that he could continue to teach his craftsmanship - he saw the fate of the Lin family, and all the children of the Lin family who were not skilled in craftsmanship were counted as basic labor force. It seems that if you don’t have skills in short-haired people, you will definitely suffer.
Because the men in the 6 families were all blacksmiths, after the evaluation and assessment, they were divided into two batches according to their technical level. Most of them were sent to Bairen City to become employees of the machinery factory, while a few stayed in Bopu to work as ironworkers in the shipyard. . Because of Lu Youtian's knowledge and the relatively small number of people in Lu's family, no children were included in the basic labor force to earn work points. Those whose skills were too poor to be employees were all enrolled in the apprenticeship team and divided into shipyards and machinery factories to learn. Become the fitters and metallurgists of the new era.
6 Youtian stayed in Bopu and became the foreman of the ironworks workshop of the shipyard. Shipbuilding requires a large amount of iron parts, because Wen Desi was still unable to figure out all the specific techniques of European shipbuilding, and still continued many of the techniques and techniques of Chinese shipbuilding when building ships.
Years ago, Wen Desi led several mechanical professionals to draw a complete line diagram and structural drawings of various parts of the ship. Although it was very rough, it at least provided a basis for shipbuilding.
Shortly after the first day of the new year, the shipyard laid the keel under the guidance of Wen Desi. The keel was placed on the keel pier of the dock, and the bow and stern posts were inlaid at both ends of the keel. This was a very arduous task and was completed with the help of the construction company's steam crane. At this time, Wen Desi Only then did he realize that he had not installed lifting equipment for the dock, so he unexpectedly built several homemade poles.
Then the bottom ribs are placed transversely on the keel, and the inner keel is placed on the bottom ribs along the keel. The inner keel, bottom ribs and keel are connected to each other with bolts. The bottom ribs are straight except at both ends. The wood at both ends begins to bend, that is, lift upwards. The composite ribs are closely connected to the bottom ribs. These are curved or curved ribs that form the curved edge of a sailboat. It took Wu Kuangming a lot of brain cells to bend the ship material at the angle required by the design without damaging its strength. Thanks to the boiler, this process became fast and effective.
All the ribs are installed very compactly and are double-layered in the middle part of the ship and near the mast - where huge strain forces are exerted. Heavy, thick platens line the inside of the ribs horizontally, supporting the ends of the deck beams. The mast hole has a reinforcing plate made of strong sandalwood, which is passed vertically between the deck beams and fastened with bolts to support the mast, while the root of the mast stands on the inner keel. This frame is further clamped to the upright ribs behind the girder beams, the through-beam ribs and the horizontal ribs behind the beams.
During the construction process, scaffolding was set up around the hull to facilitate shipwrights' construction. The outer shell plates were fixed to the ship's ribs with bolts. In order to prevent water leakage, a large amount of kapok was used as filler - this natural fiber hardly allows water to enter. Very buoyant. All joints are caulked according to the Chinese style and sealed with a mixture of tung oil, hemp silk and oyster shell ash. A layer of wood tar was also applied to the inner and outer hulls of the boats.
The internal structure of the ship is based on the structure of Chinese ships, with watertight compartments installed. Since this ship is not built as a warship, it is not planned to be equipped with many artillery, so a fully-passed lower deck is unnecessary. ! ~!
