Nanjing, Longjiang Pass.

It was still the same time, and the Longjiang Bao Shipyard was already bustling with people and bustling.

The heads of the wings were eager to order people to drain the accumulated water in the dock, and at the same time, they allocated the re-summoned craftsmen to various workshops. Wooden workshops, paint workshops, twist workshops, iron workshops, tent workshops, rope workshops, and cable workshops are all okay, but the tent factory that built sea boat wind tents resumed production slower. According to preliminary estimates, at least half a month, they could only start building wind tents after all the craftsmen were in place.

Yuan Tai, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry and Construction Department, who was responsible for the supervision of the shipyard, looked worried. The Shangfeng had issued strict orders and the scale of the shipyard from the Yongle period must be restored within one month, but this is not easy!

As the oldest official shipyard of the Ming Dynasty, the Longjiang Bao Shipyard was connected to the Yangtze River in its prime and the Qinhuai River in the east. It was 138 meters wide from east to west and 354 meters long from north to south. When Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, went to the West, except for some of the ships built in Fujian, most of the ships were built at the Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

The large ship built during this period was forty-four feet long and 18 feet wide; the middle ship was thirty-seven feet long and 15 feet wide.

However, because of the long-term peace, Longjiang Bao Shipyard has become increasingly abandoned and there are few shipbuilding craftsmen left.

But all this changed suddenly not long ago.

The Holy Emperor issued an edict, ordering the Ministry of Works to summon ship workers to repair the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard and restore the manufacturing of river and sea ships in as short as possible.

After the imperial edict was issued, Gao Hongtu, the Minister of Works, immediately responded actively and dispatched personnel from the department to Longjiangkou to take charge of the shipyard supervision.

As the saying goes, the master is worried about the humiliation of the ministers. What Your Majesty cares about is that the ministers need to do their best.

Gao Shangshu also issued a strict order to Yuan Tai, and the scale of the treasure shipyard during the Yongle period must be restored within one month.

Of course, Yuan Tai would not object to the order of the Minister of the Ministry of Education, but he also knew the difficulty of this matter, so he was worried about food and food.

What made him a little relieved was that the craftsmen he re-summoned were all old craftsmen and could quickly devote themselves to the manufacturing of ships without having to pass the apprenticeship stage again.

This is also thanks to the Ming Dynasty's craftsmanship system. Craftsmen have relied on craftsmanship for generations, and without craftsmanship, they can naturally do nothing.

Most of the ancestors of these craftsmen were ship workers at Longjiang Shipyard. Later, because the shipyard was abandoned, they each left to make a living by making a fortune by making money. Now that the court has recalled them again, it is just a different place to build ships, and there is no difference.

Since Hongzhi, Longjiang Shipyard is divided into front and rear factories, each with a stream leading to Longjiang and a stone gate. During shipbuilding, the water is drained and the stone gate is closed. After building the hull, the stone gate is opened, the water is diverted into the dock, and the floating boat is floating into the river.

For Yuan Tai, the first thing he needs to do now is to empty the accumulated water in the dock so that the craftsmen can construct the construction in the dock.

No, I still have to go to the tent factory to check it out!

Yuan Tai was also a decisive and decided to leave the Tijuan and go to the tent factory immediately.

A group of officials and mentors, in charge of the affairs, and helped them gather Yuan Tai in the middle, like stars holding the moon.

Before coming to Longjiang Shipyard, Yuan Tai had a basic understanding of the personnel structure of the shipyard in the Ministry of Industry. The craftsmen at Longjiang Shipyard were woven into four chassis, each chassis was divided into ten armors, each chassis was set up, and each chassis was managed by ten households. One chassis was divided into boat wood, shuttle, oar, and rope craftsman; the second chassis was divided into boat wood, iron, and cable craftsman; the third chassis was used as chassis; the fourth chassis was divided into brown and tent craftsman. In addition, there were also internal officials, horse craftsmen, material craftsman, updater, bridge craftsman, etc.

These craftsmen have a total of 400 households. Although they are affiliated with the Ministry of Works, they are craftsmen themselves, and have been classified as craftsmen and live in Nanjing for generations. This is why after an imperial edict, officials of the Ministry of Works were able to recall the fleeing craftsmen within ten days.

Originally, according to this model, Chief A was responsible for the assignment of tasks in this wing, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner, so Shangguan didn't need to worry too much.

But when Doctor Yuan came to the tent factory, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw hundreds of craftsmen making noises in the tent factory, and the chaos was like a market.

"Rareless! Rareless!"

Yuan Tai roared hysterically. This reaction also scared the ship workers in the tent factory. They turned their heads and stared at Yuan Tai foolishly.

"Where is the chief A? Come out to me!"

After a while, ten people walked out of the crowd reluctantly.

"I would like to ask you, since you are the Chief A, why don't you strictly restrict your disembark? What's the norm of this? How many of your heads are you enough to cut off the shipbuilding period?"

Yuan Tai was furious and red in his eyes at this time.

It seems easier to do military ship supervision and construction matters. Especially now that Longjiang Shipyard is in a mess, even if you try your best, you may not be able to restore the scale and manufacturing capabilities of the shipyard within one month according to Gao Shangshu's requirements. At present, these ship workers are so lazy and negligent, so how can they not be angry!

It took him half a lifetime to climb to the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Works. Wouldn't it be too much of a loss if he was questioned by Shangguan for his poor supervision of the construction of warships in Longjiang Shipyard?

Now Yuan Tai dares not covet the position of Minister of the Secretariat, and only wants to live the rest of his life safely. Therefore, he will never allow mistakes in this matter!

The ten armored soldiers fell to their knees and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"Sir, please forgive me. It's not that villains are willing to be negligent, but that the boatmen do not listen to the orders."

One of the young men with dark skin and short figure complained: "The villain was temporarily assigned to be a armored man after he arrived at the shipyard, and the rest were the same. The ship workers of this armored man would not listen to the villain's orders, and the villain would have no choice."

"It's outrageous. You are such a tough guy who can't stand the wall!"

Yuan Tai waved his hand and shouted, "Come on, drag him and my official down, and he will be responsible for the twenty-pronged slaughter."

Immediately, two assistants from the tutoring department stepped forward and dragged the chief a down.

A moment later, the howling of the armored armor came. The armored armored soldiers kneeling on the ground looked at each other, not even daring to show their anger.

In fact, Yuan Tai also knew that what Chief A said made sense. The Longjiang Shipyard was abandoned for too long. The Ministry of Works hurriedly recalled the ship workers, but it was impossible to restore the internal unity of the ship workers in a short period of time.

In desperation, the Shangguans could only slap their heads and artificially specify the length of armor, but such a designated length of armor has no prestige and convincing power, so it is naturally impossible to restrain the craftsmen of the original armor.

But Yuan Tai cannot express this idea. If he sympathizes with this Chief A, who will sympathize with him?

Since the pressure was given to him by the top of the mountain, Yuan Tai would naturally pass on the pressure.

This is the default principle in the officialdom. Whether it is reasonable or not, subordinates must do their best to get things done.

"I don't care what method you use. Within five days... no, within three days I will see at least one complete wind tent!"
