Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Songhu Shipyard is located at the intersection of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River. The entire large area is filled with shipyards of various sizes.

    Songhu Shipyard, Sangong Shipyard, Zhang's Shipyard, Sihai Captain, Jiangnan Shipyard, etc., there are hundreds of shipyards located in Songhu, and almost all of them are at the intersection of the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River.  .

    This is the most prosperous and lively shipbuilding industrial area in Songhu, and it is also the area with the highest income in Songhu.

    Shipbuilding is a technical job, and a qualified shipbuilding technician or master requires a long time of training. He is someone who absolutely relies on craftsmanship and ability to make a living.

    Since Liu Jin founded the Tianjin Shipyard, all craftsmen have been graded and given preferential treatment. Even ten years ago, the wages of workers in the Tianjin Shipyard were very high, reaching several taels of silver a month. As for shipbuilding,  Master, I already had six or seven taels of silver a month at that time.

    Now, their remuneration is even higher. A casual worker¡¯s annual income is more than a hundred taels of silver, which is one or two times higher than the income of ordinary workers outside.

    As for the masters, technicians and the like in the shipyard, their income is even higher. They can generally reach an annual salary of several hundred taels of silver, which can be said to be a high-income class.

    The reason why such a high salary can be given is because the Ming Dynasty's ocean trade, ocean fishing and other industries are developing extremely rapidly, and the demand for ships is very large. No matter how many ships there are, they are not enough to sell, and every shipyard has already placed orders.  Surprisingly, for large shipyards like Songhu Shipyard, orders have already been dispatched several years later.

    The Ming Dynasty¡¯s own orders, orders from overseas, and a large number of overseas warship orders all stimulated the Ming Dynasty¡¯s shipbuilding industry.

    The five places of Tianjin, Songhu, Ryukyu, Nanyang Crescent City and Qiongzhou have formed the five most important shipbuilding centers in the Ming Dynasty.

    The strongest ones are Tianjin and Songhu. There are hundreds of large and small shipyards in Tianjin and hundreds of shipyards in Songhu, and they are all large and powerful shipyards.

    Like the Songhu Shipyard in front of you, it is a branch of Tianjin Shipyard.

    ¡°Well, naturally it is also an industry under Liu Jin¡¯s command.

    Songhu Shipyard covers a huge area, has more than 20,000 workers, shipbuilders, and technicians, has hundreds of large and small workshops, and can start construction of more than a hundred ocean-going ships at the same time.

    ¡° Moreover, Songhu Shipyard and Tianjin Shipyard are the only two shipyards in Ming Dynasty that can manufacture large steam ships. The orders accepted by these two shipyards are all orders, and all of them are large ships.

    For example, all the ships of the Ming Dynasty were built by these two shipyards, and foreign orders for military warships were also built by these two shipyards.

    The two shipyards have the largest scale, the strongest technology, and the strongest shipbuilding capabilities. Moreover, the two shipyards have each established professional shipbuilding academies to systematically and standardizedly cultivate shipbuilding talents and research new shipbuilding technologies and ship types.

    In the shipyard, Liu Jin was walking around casually. Chen Jie, the director of Songhu Shipyard, and many other managers of the shipyard were also following him.

    Liu Jin is their boss, and Liu Jin¡¯s identity is also displayed here. He is a cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty and a celebrity around the emperor. He holds power. This is the first time Liu Jin has come here since the Songhu Shipyard was built.  Make them excited.

    ¡°How many ships are under construction in the factory now?¡±

    Liu Jin looked at the shipbuilding docks in front of him. The docks were busy all the time.

    The shipyard implements a team system. A shipbuilding dock is a team, with supporting shipbuilders, technicians and workers. A team is responsible for the construction of a ship.

    So to see the shipbuilding capacity of a shipyard, just look at how many ships are under construction in its dock.

    "A total of 121 ships are currently under construction~"

    ¡°Among them, 120 are traditional treasure ships and sailing ships, and the remaining 11 are steam ships.¡±

    Chen Jie quickly replied: "All our ships are built using standardized construction methods."

    ¡°In addition to the shipbuilding dock in front of us, we also have a large number of parts processing workshops. We require all parts to be processed to a standard and implement an assembly line production method.¡±

    "So our shipbuilding efficiency is very high. A shipbuilding dock here can build a ship in about a month."

    ¡°We can launch a large number of boats in a single dock a year??Boldly use a variety of machinery, boldly use new technologies and new methods.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#120&#105&#110&#100&#105&#110&#103&#100&#105&#97&#110&#120&#115&#119&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#35835&#2930 6 this  Hou xind*ing d*ianxsw.com Zhang Si

    Therefore, the major industries under his command are definitely world leaders in terms of mechanization and technology.

    "Yes, we understand and we have been working hard."

    Chen Jie nodded quickly and said.  Zhida z.com Zhixiao

    Liu Jin nodded slightly, and then looked at the entire shipyard. He could see a large number of new machines being used. Punching machines, milling machines, drilling machines, etc. driven by steam power could be seen everywhere.

    The workers here are also proficient in using these machines. Looking at their faces, they are basically young. They are all graduates of new schools. They were not admitted to colleges and universities, and finally entered the shipyard, and then worked in shipbuilding.  He continued his studies at the factory and eventually became a shipbuilding technician and master.

    "It's time to return to the capital. Another year has passed. It will soon be the twenty-fifth year of Hongzhi. Time flies so fast!"

    Looking at the young face, Liu Jin lamented how time flies. It will soon be the 25th year of Hongzhi
