Leng Feng also frowned, although iron ore had been discovered in Anshan and a steel plant had been established, but for more than three months, no one knew if it would be able to supply shipbuilding.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Huo Xingyun reported that he wanted to see Leng Feng.

Leng Feng is very strange, since the Dragon Scale Army expanded into the Dragon Scale Guard, he has not seen Huo Xingyun and Qiu Yuze again, why did this guy come here today to ask for a meeting?

While comforting Sun Xiaoquan, Leng Feng met with Huo Xingyun.

After Huo Xingyun saw Leng Feng, he knelt down on one knee, "The last general, Huo Xingyun, has seen the Lord Protector!" ”

Leng Feng asked Li Erniu to help him up and asked, "Aren't you serving in the Dragon Scale Guard, Gongwei Jingshi?" Why did you get to Dengzhou? ”

Huo Xingyun said with a smile, "Serving in the capital, every day except patrolling is patrolling, it is not interesting at all." You asked the Thunderbolt to help the miners find the mine, and the Thunderbolt was working on a weapon, and no one could adjust it, so you told Your Majesty.

In the end, His Majesty sent us out. After all, when it comes to gunpowder weapons, the Dragonscale Army and the Dragontooth Army are experts. ”

Leng Feng nodded, "I see, then you come over at this time?" ”

Huo Xingyun took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Leng Feng, "Protect the country, Anshan Iron and Steel Plant is now operating normally, and the first batch of iron plates totaling 43,523,766 catties has been transported to Dengzhou!" ”

"So little?"

Leng Feng frowned, the number looks huge, but if it is used for shipbuilding, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Huo Xingyun said helplessly, "The manpower is limited, so I can only make these, and with the expansion of the steel plant, the output will be higher and higher in the future." ”

Sun Xiaoquan, who had been listening, couldn't help but interject and said, "Lord Protector, this output is enough, after all, we have to smelt it again and make it into a suitable iron plate before it can be used to make ironclad ships." ”

In this era, ironclad ships rely on manpower. In a situation where manpower is not unlimited, the speed at which a shipyard can build a ship is limited.

The Pioneer is stained with the light of the shipyard's inventory, otherwise, such a big guy would have to be built in the Year of the Monkey.

Leng Feng waved his hand and said to Huo Xingyun, "If the output is low, it will be low, you go back and tell the manager of the steel plant, try to recruit people in the surrounding state capitals, and teach more apprentices." ”

The manpower of the steel plant cannot be transferred all the time, and the emergence of a large factory can drive the prosperity of the local economy.

In the past, Liaodong was a place where birds didn't poop, and even if there were residents, there was no rooster crowing for ten miles.

In such a place, the population can only be driven by large factories.

Huo Xingyun nodded: "The last general knows!" ”

Leng Feng patted Huo Xingyun on the shoulder, "Being a blaster in Liaodong is not suitable for you, you promote someone to replace you as soon as possible, and you go back to Chang'an." ”

Huo Xingyun and Qiu Yuze were selected through layers of selection before they could join the Dragon Scale Army and serve as captains. And among these two people, Leng Feng admires Huo Xingyun more.

Because compared with Qiu Yuze, Huo Xingyun is more calm and has the style of a general.

Huo Xingyun knew that Leng Feng was mentioning him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The last general has this intention." ”

After sending Huo Xingyun away, Leng Feng went to the side of the road to see the iron plate sent by the steel factory.

The smelting of the steel plant is only the first step, and after the iron plate leaves the factory to the Dengzhou shipyard, it will go through a second smelting to reduce the carbon content in it.

After being made into an iron plate suitable for shipbuilding, the bottom part of the ship is passivated.

There is no way, in this era when there is no effective means of embalming metal products, the appearance of ironclad ships is itself a kind of advancement. Passivation can only be simply embalmed, and Datang's ironclad ships are still consumables in the end.

It is estimated that he will be able to serve for more than ten years.

Back at the residence, Leng Feng saw Leng Jing standing at the door, so he asked, "Waiting for Daddy?" ”

Leng Jing nodded, "Dad, can you take me to play on the Pioneer?" From a distance, you can't see clearly! ”

The trial voyage of the Pioneer, unrelated personnel could not get close to within ten miles at all, although Leng Jing secretly looked at it with a telescope, but the sea fog made him only see a vague shadow.

Leng Feng patted Leng Jing's head, "It's not impossible to take you up to play, but before the second trial voyage of the Pioneer, you must master pinyin, how about it?" ”

As Leng Feng's exclusive ciphertext, pinyin is a compulsory course for Leng Jing, but since Leng Feng came back safely, Leng Jing has lost the momentum to learn pinyin, and there is a feeling of hiding under the protection of his father with peace of mind.

This is not good, Leng Feng doesn't want his children to become gnawing old people.

Although Leng Jing is young, he must learn to live independently.

With the Pioneer as a temptation, Leng Jing immediately patted his chest and said, "Dad, don't worry, I can definitely learn!" ”

Watching Leng Jing run back to the study, Leng Feng smiled helplessly and went into the bedroom to change clothes.

Liu Shuwen is embroidering in the bedroom, although it is not suitable for this craft, but she has never given up.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and now the shield embroidered by Liu Shuwen actually looks good.

Leng Feng approached Liu Shuwen and asked, "Why do you want to embroider a shield?" ”

Liu Shuwenjiao smiled and said, "This is still learned from the princess of Hejian, the princess said, you general-level troops to fight, generally do not bring their own shields, there are embroidered shields on the body, which can protect you to a certain extent." ”

Leng Feng patted Liu Shuwen on the shoulder.

has been married for many years, although he generally does not show his thoughts on his face, Liu Shuwen still noticed his thoughts.

Watching the Pioneer split the waves, Leng Feng couldn't help but become interested in Fuyu's Yuangai Suwen.

Now that Goryeo itself has completely fallen, keeping this careerist can only be a disaster. Zhang Zhongjian is not a rough man, on the contrary, he has been with Li Jing for many years, and he is also good at the art of war.

The island he picked must be a good place.

In such a place, Yuan Gai Suwen will inevitably have the idea of turning the tables.

Since Zhang Zhongjian intends to regain the territory, it is not impossible for the Tang Navy to help him.

Picking up Liu Shuwen's embroidered handkerchief, Leng Feng smiled and said, "Even if there is a war this time, I will take you with me." Yuangai Suwen is vulnerable, and he will take you to take a look at the scenery on the sea. ”

Liu Shuwen also smiled and said, "Don't forget, you also have a daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, and the wedding is just held at sea, how about it?" ”

Leng Feng thought for a moment and nodded.

With the advent of midsummer, the first batch of ironclad ships, the Pioneer and Chengke, have been established, and the construction of the Chengtai has also come to an end.

Leng Jing successfully mastered pinyin, and was taken by Leng Feng to the Pioneer for sea trials as he wished.

Today the wind and sun are beautiful, and the vision is open.

Leng Jing, who was holding the binoculars, suddenly shouted: "There is a ship!" It's the East China Sea Fleet! ”

Leng Feng took the binoculars and looked south.

Sure enough, a mast appeared at the distant sea level, and the flag of the East China Sea Army was floating on it.

"Raise the flag, let them practice with us!"

After listening to Qing Leng Feng's words, the standard-bearer waved the banner of "Defending the Nation and Requiring the Exercise" at the East China Sea Army in the distance.

When the lookout on the side of the East China Sea Army saw the flag, he immediately ran to Zhang Liang to report the situation.

Zhang Liang was holding a telescope to admire the Pioneer, when he heard the lookout's report, he was dissatisfied, "What kind of drill is the exercise, reply to the letter, just say a poop!" ”

The standard-bearer wondered, "General, what is Baba?" ”

Zhang Liang glanced at him, "It's dung!" ”

The word baba is still the word Leng Feng said when Leng Jing was less than a month
