My life skills in Daming Liver

differentiation skills?

Su Ze didn't expect that after traveling for so long, this system would have functions that he hadn't figured out yet.

Before, Su Ze encountered upgrading skills.

[Chemical] skills have been upgraded to [Chemistry] skills, which is equivalent to changing from a basic branch skill to a skill with a larger conceptual scope.

But what is skill differentiation?

After Su Ze chose "Yes", he quickly understood the meaning of this skill.

[Carpenter] Skill is a very broad concept. From the income of ordinary carpenters such as making tables, chairs and benches, to building wooden houses, to building ships and cars, and building hydraulic mills, these can all be classified as carpenters.

The so-called differentiation is actually to divide the broad classification belonging to [carpenter] into more detailed branches.

This is also in line with the development of social production.

From the broader "carpenter" profession in ancient times, it began to be divided into "carpenter", "boatman", and "builder". Only the [carpenter], which was originally Lv6, has become several other skills.

[The skill "carpenter" is divided into three skills "carpentry", "shipbuilding" and "construction" according to the existing experience value, and the experience value is allocated according to the mastery of the existing skills. 】

[Differentiated skill "Carpentry", skill experience Lv5, 1/1000]

[Divided into the skill "Shipbuilding", skill experience Lv2, 1/200]

[Differentiate the skill "Creation", have mastered the construction skill, increase the experience value of the construction skill, the skill experience is Lv3, 20/300]

So smart?

Su Ze originally had construction skills, but now the construction skills have been merged into Lv3.

The original [Carpenter] skill has been changed to [Carpenter], which is still Lv5. Su Ze saw that the passive skill can still be used.

And the [Shipbuilding] skill is rated as Lv2, which is reasonable. Su Ze has never built any boats by himself since crossing.

With [Shipbuilding] skills, Su Ze has more confidence in shipbuilding.

This time Su Ze is going to build a Galen ship. This kind of sailing ship has been a classic ship for maritime hegemony since the 16th century until the steam-powered warships of the 19th century came onto the stage of history.

What left Su Ze speechless was that the full set of drawings for the Galen ship came from a shipbuilding manual that Lin Mojun bought in Macau.

This shipbuilding manual published by the British actually clearly recorded all the technical details of shipbuilding. What kind of selfless internationalism is this!

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem so strange, because there is no sense of secrecy in this era. In the century of the Enlightenment, the rapid development of the West is also related to the cultural atmosphere at that time.

The funniest thing to say is that all Europeans know the huge profits of going to the New World. Navigators of this era are looking for routes to America one after another.

Under such circumstances, Spain and the United Kingdom actually published books directly, printing out nautical charts for the New World, and even the island ports along the way were recorded and published by these navigators.

At that time, European countries did not have any sense of secrecy, allowing this type of books to be published, and some people even specially translated them into other languages ​​and published them in other countries.

This is equivalent to writing a book about the technology of manufacturing lithography machines in modern European countries, and then translating it into Chinese and publishing it to China.

Outrageous, outrageous.

The Galenic Shipbuilding Manual, is one such outrageous book.

Today's nautical overlord in the world, the main ship of the Spaniards is the Karak ship.

The structure of the Galen ship is not much different from that of the Clark ship, and it is itself modified on the basis of the Karak ship.

Su Ze also has a certain understanding of the development of Western ships through the [Shipbuilding] skills.

The forecastle and poop of the old-fashioned "Karak" type sailboat and other ships at that time were too high, which was very easy to catch the wind, making it difficult for the ship to maneuver in a headwind.

The British saw this. The height of the forecastle, especially the forecastle, was reduced, while the original round stern was replaced by a square one. Such a new design ship is relatively narrow and long, with a fast speed and excellent maneuverability in headwinds.

It’s just that European countries still think that Karak ships are better sailing ships. In order to promote their own ships, the British are not stingy in printing their own shipbuilding technology into books. Even in the Far East, Lin Mojun’s shipbuilding manual is Bought it from an old shipwright.

In 1559 AD, which is the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, two years ago, the former queen "Bloody Mary" passed away, and the British throne returned to Elizabeth I, the Puritan queen.

Under the rule of Elizabeth I, Britain entered a period of rising national power, and under her rule, the British fleet defeated the Spanish Armada, laying the foundation for British sea power.

In Culture 6 terms, Britain is about to enter a "Golden Age".

However, in Su Ze's view, the so-called European Golden Age was also infused with the blood and tears of countless hungry and cold child laborers on the streets of London and the blood and tears of countless colonial people.

She started the sheep cannibalism movement, promulgated the Homeless Act, prohibiting beggars from begging in the city, and must enter the factory to work.

However, Su Ze did not hesitate to praise the queen, because it was precisely because of Elizabeth I's love of black tea that the tea farmers in Wuyishan began to make black tea. Half of the black tea exported by Fuzhou Bosi every year was distributed by Portuguese and Spanish merchants. sold to the British.

In other words, Queen Elizabeth is the largest customer of Suze's tea export trade.

But drinking black tea is still a thing for British nobles now, and ordinary people can't afford it at all.

Su Ze is also promoting black tea manufacturing technology in several other tea producing areas. Europe is a big market for tea consumption.

Putting away his messy thoughts, Su Ze checked the [Shipbuilding] skill again.

With this, Su Ze also has a corresponding understanding of the construction of sailing ships.

The galleon is a style of sailing ship, and the galleon is built in three representative sizes: small (100-400 tons), medium (500-800 tons), and large (900-1200 tons).

Among them, European countries also have their own characteristics.

The British preferred small galleons, that is, small galleons of about 300 tons.

The British took the lead in using the overall lower deck, which is more stable and can withstand the recoil of the artillery, because the British small Galen ship can also install less than 40 artillery pieces, and the deck can withstand the recoil of the artillery salvo.

The Spaniards, on the other hand, are more eager to like the large Galen ship of 1,200 tons.

A large Galen ship can install up to a hundred cannons, requiring hundreds of sailors to drive them. It is a proper sea monster.

However, large ships and small ships are not selected according to the needs of combat effectiveness, but the needs of different countries are different.

Even though the British had defeated the Spanish Armada during the Elizabeth I period, the Spaniards quickly built a new fleet, and Britain and Spain entered a naval readiness race.

In addition, the rise of the Dutch coachman on the sea is also provoking the two countries.

In today's situation, the Spaniards are still the overlord, controlling the vast land of South America, holding the gold and silver of the Inca Empire in their hands.

The Spaniards needed to travel between the New World and the mainland, and ocean trade required larger ships to transport goods.

Of course, the British also want to build big ships, but at this time the British national strength is limited, and the competition with the Spaniards also cost too much money.

That's why there was a plunder order during Elizabeth's reign. The famous pirate Captain Drake is the pirate king of Queen Elizabeth Zhao'an.

The British fleet also played pirates, using small, more maneuverable galleons to plunder the large Spanish ships.

However, in East Asia, a ship of 300 tons is no longer a small ship. Converted to a Ming unit, it is a large ship with a thousand materials.

Su Ze plans to use this Galen ship to accumulate experience in [Shipbuilding] skills, and build larger ships in the future.

As for the shipbuilders who went to Chuanshi Island, Su Ze was not going to let them go. He sent people to take over the families of these craftsmen, and paid these craftsmen a salary so that they could build ships with peace of mind.

Chuanshidao trained troops, built large ships, and marched vigorously towards the 41st year of Jiajing.

On New Year's Eve, Fang Wanghai asked for leave, and took Mrs. Li and his daughter, grandson, and returned to Fujian to spend the New Year with Su Ze.

The sea area has calmed down recently, so Su Ze personally took the clipper boat to meet Yue Zhang's family at the Shanghai pier.

When he saw his long-lost wife, Su Ze was naturally happy, and picked up his babbling son again, giving Su Ze the motivation to cheer again.

However, looking at the sea above the pier still looked gloomy. After waiting in the cabin, Su Ze asked his wife:

"What happened to father-in-law?"

Fang Ruolan pushed away Su Ze's frizzy hand and said, "Father wants to resign."

"Resign?"

Su Ze said suspiciously: "Father-in-law is not yet fifty years old, is it because he is not feeling well, let me show him?"

Fang Ruolan shook her head and said, "It's not because of physical discomfort, but because of heart disease."

Fang Ruolan sighed and said, "Since Zhao Zhenji took office, my father's mood has changed a lot. Some time ago, he even lost his errand in the Chaoguan Office, leaving only a vacant position in charge of Nanjing's household department in name. Basically, everything fell on the into the hands of Zhao Zhenji."

"Especially a few years ago, Hu Zongxian from Zhejiang wrote a letter asking for food from the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing. This year, nine counties in Zhejiang were flooded, and they were implementing the reform of rice into mulberry. My father wanted to support Zhejiang with a little money. Who knew that Zhao Zhenji strongly opposed it and insisted on carrying it." He refuses to give food."

"Father was so angry that he wrote a letter to beg for sick leave, but the court refused. After a few years, father will not return to Nanjing, so he will directly write a letter to Fujian to beg for leave."

Su Ze was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Fang Wanghai to be so determined to go.

But thinking about it carefully, it's normal for Fang Wanghai not to want to do it.

In Su Ze's opinion, Fang Wanghai, the father-in-law, is still a capable official.

If Fang Wanghai's [Administration] ability is Lv15, then his [Politics] is only Lv10.

Fang Wanghai would not stand in line, and did not seek refuge in the strict party and Qingliu.

In fact, it wasn't that Fang Wanghai was unwilling to join Qingliu, but that it was difficult for him, a technical bureaucrat, to agree with Qingliu's ideas.

Fang Wanghai is a person who does things, and Fang Wanghai can do a good job in practical matters such as preparing for the establishment of the Banknote Office.

But in political struggle, Fang Wanghai is even worse than Su Ze.

At the level of Nanjing Hubu's servant, he is naturally no match for Zhao Zhenji, a veteran official.

When it comes to office politics, Zhao Zhenji is as good as several Fang Wanghai.

In terms of friendship, Zhao Zhenji and Hu Zongxian are old friends and good friends. When Zhao Zhenji was at home with Ding You, Hu Zongxian kept communicating with him.

However, after Zhao Zhenji was recommended by Qingliu and became the Minister of Nanjing's household department, Zhao Zhenji tried his best to refuse Hu Zongxian's request for help, and prohibited Jiangnan's grain from entering Zhejiang.

In comparison, the relationship between my father-in-law Fang Wanghai and Hu Zongxian is much shallower.

They only had some cooperation on Zhejiang banknote tariffs. Later, Hu Zongxian also usurped the authority of Zhejiang Banknote Customs Office, and the cooperation between the two broke up unhappy.

But that's it, after the disaster in Zhejiang, Fang Wanghai is still willing to support Zhejiang's food, regardless of the past.

Su Ze was in awe of Fang Wanghai, and there were not many officials like Fang Wanghai in the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Ruolan said: "Since this year, what Dad wants to do has been hindered by many obstacles, and in the end nothing can be achieved."

"The banknote bureau that you helped father organize has also been abolished, and the officials from the Nanjing household department have all turned to Zhao Zhenji."

"Mother also thinks that Dad's job as an official is meaningless, so I advise him to go back to Fujian first, and if he can't do it, he should resign and go back to his hometown."

It's hard to be a good official. Fang Wanghai is a man of affairs, and he is good to his subordinates, but in the official system of Daming, the man who does things is not the one who gets promoted.

Officials are promoted and promoted, all relying on their superiors.

Ministers want to enter the cabinet, depending on the emperor's preferences.

The appointment of ministers in important positions depends on the recommendation of the cabinet.

Even the most low-level positions depend on the recommendation and examination results of the superiors.

Fang Wanghai has no backer, and compared with Qingliu's rising star, Xu Ge's disciple Zhao Zhenji, it goes without saying who he will turn to.

It is also expected that the officials of the Nanjing household department fell to Zhao Zhenji.

Su Ze gave a wry smile. The reforms in the middle and late Ming Dynasty basically ended with the death of the people and the end of the government.

Su Ze helped Fang Wanghai organize the Chaoguan Office in Jiangnan, reform the Nanjing Salt Law, and put down the Zhenwuying rebellion. After doing such things, in the end, in the Jiangnan officialdom, there was no result left.

Official contacts and prestige are like floating clouds, which can be blown away at any time.

Looking back, Su Ze's achievements in Nanzhili have nothing to do with officialdom.

One is Tiangong Academy. Although Su Ze has already gone to Fujian, the students trained by Tiangong Academy have been integrated into all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River.

The various methods of making money in the book "Heavenly Craftsmanship" now have workshops in the south of the Yangtze River. In the eyes of these workshop owners and craftsmen, Su Ze is almost like a patriarch.

The other ones are "Warning News" and "Tong Yan Shuo". These newspapers and magazines have covered the whole of Nanzhili, and even the two lakes near Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Shandong and other provinces have printing workshops.

In the end, there was the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Anti-Smuggling Corps. A smile appeared on the corner of Su Ze's mouth. In order to keep this stronghold, Su Ze took great pains.
