If shipbuilding was decades ago, when Taizu was there, it was just a matter of ease, especially during the period of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, as the southern princes attacked each other, the shipbuilding technology had made great progress.

However, since then, Emperor Taizu forbidden the sea, and the shipmakers of the past have already made other plans. Only some small-scale shipbuilding in the imperial court have saved some people's jobs.

There are still craftsmanship now, and the manufacturing processes of various ships are also recorded in ancient books.

As for these craftsmen, they all built some ships, but if you really want to talk about how good the craftsmanship is, only God knows.

As soon as they arrived, they were placed down. It was Hao San who placed them.

When Hao San came to Annan in person, he saw the Hao family's emphasis on shipbuilding. However, if you want to build a ship, your current experience is blank, and the only thing you can rely on is silver.

That's right, the Hao family has nothing, it's just that they have money. Since they have money, they naturally spend the best efforts to recruit ship craftsmen, spend a lot of money, and buy ship materials. Now, after spending the silver, you have to hear the sound.

The Hao family never trades at a loss, so they can't see the boat, so it's hard to explain it.

Hao San was very curious about the affairs here, and the most curious thing was the dock.

The dock here is where Annan built sea ships. It was abandoned after the war. It is adjacent to the Haiphong Maritime Warehouse Department and is a little distance from Haiphong City, but it is also quiet. Because there is a river nearby that leads directly to Qinghua and also has tributaries, and it can even reach Teng Long and Lang Son, so the geographical location here is excellent.

The original ship craftsman has long been unknown, so it is impossible to requisition the original Annan ship craftsman.

Fortunately, many people were brought to Lang Son, and these people were all Han people, the Ming army that rebelled in the past. They later became laborers.

Speaking of which, at the beginning, the emotions of these laborers were very unstable, and many people tried to escape, but soon, this situation became less and less, and there was no need to monitor it. Very few people absconded.

The reason for this is that once you abscond, you will be a fugitive, and when you recover, you will be a bone and skin. You cannot survive or die. Even if you really escape, you will not be able to gain a foothold in Annan and starve and freeze. If you escape to the Ming Dynasty, the yellow book system is very strict. Without road guides and household book, you will not be able to gain a foothold at all.

On the other hand, building bridges and roads here, or working in workshops, although it is hard and sweating every day, there is food and accommodation, and the food is pretty good. In fact, it is not much different from being an officer and soldier in the past.

All laborers retain the organization of officers and soldiers, and are divided into more than a hundred thousand households. There are hundreds of households under the hundred households, and there are small flags under each one. Each small flag is eleven people. The small flag manages a production team, and then dispatches work. The small flag serves as supervision. There are also competitions between each flag. For example, in cloth spinning, a small flag is a blast furnace. There are records of qualified steel refined every day. At the end of the month, small flags with high output have bounties. These rewards are directly distributed to each laborer. There are special grocery stores in their labor camps, whether it is books, incense, candles, cooked food, fruits, clothes, etc.

There is even a special redemption system. As long as the laborer saves 100 taels of silver, he can get freedom. From now on, he is no longer a laborer, and he can even work in a workshop. Of course, the wages are much higher than laborer. The biggest attraction after redemption is to take over a family and live, which is very attractive to the laborers.

A hundred taels of silver, even the small flag where a laborer is located, strives to be at the top every year, and they will not be able to receive money every year, and they may not be able to save it without seven or eight years of hard work. But for the laborers, having rewards is motivation. Inside the small flag, those guys who work hard are often despised because such people pull the entire small flag. After all, there are several people who care about their wives and children inside each small flag. The more here, the more intense this emotion is. Their desire to redeem themselves, and they are extremely strong. This kind of person is most motivated. Even for those who are free from worries, who would not expect more rewards? It is better to have rewards than not. Buy yourself a new clothes and occasionally buy some fruits with money. These rely on rewards.

Therefore, anyone who prevents everyone from making money will be excluded by the people of the same banner and is used by the small banner officials. Some people have certainly stole a few times, but in the end they are people rolling their eyes and even bullying them all, which is not worth the loss. After several times, everyone understood the rules and dared not be lazy anymore.

These laborers who were drawn were all strong, with bronze skin and calluses all over their hands. They were obviously someone who could do things.

After they arrived here, Hao San pulled the boatman and started picking people.

Each boatman can collect two apprentices to use to start a fight, which makes the boatman very satisfied. Obviously, their specifications are at the level of a master, and they can be more brisk in their daily work.

After picking up the worker and apprentice, they immediately purchased the ship materials. In fact, they didn’t have to worry about this. Lang Son was prepared for it. However, how to build a ship and what kind of ship is the most concerned issue for everyone at the moment.

As before, in Jinling, Lord Hao sent some sketches and letters, which contained a lot of opinions. No one dared to be slight about Lord Hao's opinions. Even the half-finished ship craftsman knew about the general process of the shipbuilding, so everyone got together and started discussing under Hao San's organization.

Judging from the correspondence between letters and exchanges from all walks of life, the situation in Annan is still generally stable. No one had ever thought that the Hao family would become the main force in stabilizing Annan.

Because of the Hao family's business, Annan has started to have work to go up to the nobles and ordinary people, including those who grow cotton and mine, and the transportation of a large number of goods is inevitable to repair the official roads, and almost everyone is working hard to earn some money.

This is how people are. Since they can earn money through work and support their families, whoever is full has nothing to do, they have to think about the national hatred and family grudges. Even if they are dissatisfied, they think that they will have to work tomorrow, take care of the master's cotton, and go to mine. After working for a day, no matter how much resentment is, they will be declining.

For the nobles and gentry, the most important thing is the current transaction, and the waste of money is the real thing. Such a good opportunity, if you don’t take advantage of this, you will have nothing to do to fight others. Not to mention how great the risks are, even if there is no risk, it will make people not be interested.

People are profit-seeking, and their loftiest ideals cannot withstand human greed.

Hao Fenglou was very satisfied with Annan's current situation. He rested at home for more than a month before starting to go to Jinyiwei to dock.

As the commander, he took the emperor's mission to Annan for public service, so the assistant minister did not have much presence. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei was quite polite to him. At present, no one in the capital knew the energy of Hao Chenshi. Even the two comrades were unwilling to have any disputes with Hao Fenglou. As for Ji Gang, he called Hao Fenglou several times and said some greetings casually.

However, Hao Fenglou estimated that Ji Gang was trying to indirectly and ask about Annan's affairs. Obviously, Annan's situation was still brewing in the capital. His Majesty made Hu Guang. Who knows if there will be any further actions? The Jinyiwei was surprisingly unhappy this year and was passive everywhere, which made Ji Gang very angry. Therefore, he now wants to figure out His Majesty's thoughts, and then create several unjust cases and make several wrong cases to kill a few people, so that His Majesty can favor him.

Hao Fenglou knew this kind of thought in his heart, but he did not reveal it. He just answered carefully without revealing any flaws.

There have been many news in the palace recently, and among these news, the one that attracts particular attention is shipbuilding.

The emperor was a person who was unwilling to be lonely. After pacifying Annan, he seemed to have intentionally gone to the West. There are many different opinions on the purpose of voyage to the West. The most widely circulated among the people was to find Jianwen's whereabouts. However, in Hao Fenglou's opinion, looking for Jianwen was obviously a bit exaggerated. How could such a big fanfare, building ships everywhere and raising the voyage to the West be so difficult to pursue his nephew? Everyone in the world knows that they are going to the West, and most countries have heard of it. Jianwen is not a fool, so would he sit there waiting for you to come and get it? I am afraid that after hearing the news, he would have gone far away long ago.

Doing this can be said to be a great success, but from Hao Fenglou's perspective, this is Zhu Di's ambitious side.

In the eyes of the world, Zhu Di may just be a vassal king who usurped the throne, but Hao Fenglou said that usurping the throne was obviously just Zhu Di's first step. What Zhu Di had to do was obviously not just be an emperor. In a sense, what this person's mind was no longer understandable.

Ping Annan, voyage to the West, is not easy to say, no matter what it is. Without enough courage and ambition, how could such an idea come up?

What Zhu Di wanted was the tribute of all countries and the surrender of all the world. The more ambitious people in their chest and abdomen had one characteristic, that is, they were urgent.

Ten thousand years is too long, so I have to seize the day.

He had to do too many facts, and knew that his time was limited, so naturally, this urgent mood occupied his heart. Annan had decided that his voyage to the West was put on the agenda. Moreover, judging from the signs that Zhu Di repeatedly convened court discussions with ministers, it was obvious that the emperor's last little patience had been wiped out.
