Section 20 A ketch that combines ancient and modern Chinese and Western styles
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. Read the full text.
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 none of them dare to reveal their wealth for fear of being robbed by these thieves.
If the older Lin family members bowed to the power-traveling group in Lingao because they had witnessed the tyranny of the government, then the younger ones who grew up in Baitu Village, a no-nonsense area, would have some objections. 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 was not able to 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 only work as laborers every day, doing hard and tiring work. He couldn't stand this alone.
A cousin who usually hangs out with him spoke: "Brother, please tell me something - what on earth did uncle think that our Lin family would break up like this?"
"What else can I do?" said a guy squatting on the ground with a wilting head and brain, "I'm very capable -"
Lin Gonglao's brother Lin Gongxun kicked him fiercely: "You are a scum of the Lin family and a coward. I even doubt whether you are a descendant of the Lin family."
"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 you, don't they just have better weapons and cannons for hand-to-hand combat? I'll beat these bums seven or eight times at a time." The guy who beat him said aggressively, while secretly telling the sentry not far away. glanced at. 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 relies on firearms to win is not a hero."
“You don’t need firearms, you can fight one on one, and you won’t beat them until they are looking for teeth on the ground.”
"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 would be a bastard without a coward like you."
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 with no eggs. A'aozi are all overseas barbarians. I scolded them in front of them, but they couldn't understand." He spoke loudly in southern Fujian. A "True Kun" in the distance said seven or eight swear words. As expected, the other person looked at him without any reaction, and the surrounding Lin family disciples burst into applause.
"Good job, brother is really awesome."
"Aozi is a bad guy and he doesn't dare to let go of anything."
"Aozi doesn't dare to offend our Lin family. We rely on our great uncle for shipbuilding."
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: "What are you doing to seek death?" He looked around carefully, "Why do you think our Lin family didn't wipe out the whole family?"
Lin Gonglao was obviously not convinced and wanted to say something louder.
"Stop talking, everyone dispersed and went 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 got a hard blow on the head: "The imperial court did all the shit to us. Without the imperial court, we can still live a good life guarding our ancestral graves in Fujian." Lin Xianming slowed down his tone as he spoke, "The shorthairs are still alive. We can live well, give us a house to live in, and give us wages, so that we don't have to work in vain. We are ordinary people, whoever becomes the emperor doesn't have to pay taxes, just have food, clothing and shelter. Don't cause trouble for me."
When Lin Xianming saw that his son had finally stopped talking, he said: "How old are you? You don't know what the government is like when the sky is high. Just work for me honestly. When the time comes, I will naturally find a way to get you to work in the shipyard." Short Mao still values 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 Lu family's backlash was much smaller. For one thing, their population was smaller, and Lu Youtian was a person who was very aware of current affairs. He had no doubts about the time traveler's policy and immediately had all the members of the clan dispersed to register, even his son. Lu Shouyong registered a separate household even though he was not married. 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.
Since all the men in the Lu family were 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 the Lu 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 were assigned to shipyards and machinery factories to learn how to work. New Age Fitter and Metallurgist.
Lu 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. There are reinforcement plates in the mast holes, made of strong sandalwood, inserted 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. ,.
