Early the next morning, Yuan Yao began to gather everyone to start shipbuilding.

Since the people in charge of shipbuilding are all clones, Yuan Yao must be present. It's not that they need to be commanded, but to prevent others from being curious about clones, because they are a little strange compared to normal people, dull, silent, and can do a good job without much communication, which is simply impossible in the eyes of others.

So Yuan Yao decided to be present and pretend to be in command to avoid any unnecessary accidents.

This day is the fourth day that Yuan Yao has taken over the power of Lujiang, and in these four days alone, 56 clones have been produced, plus the previous 48 people, a total of 104 people.

The output in these four days is more than the past month and a half, which not only makes Yuan Yao feel more confident.

Lujiang County has a population of more than 400,000, and the upper limit of the number of clones is one hundred percent of the ordinary population, so now the upper limit of Yuan Yao's clones is more than 4,000 people, and this number makes him not need to think about this problem for a long time.

He began to order the existing 104 clones to build a building ship, although the system stipulates that 200 people are needed to build a building ship, but 104 can also start construction at a semi-productive capacity, but the progress is a little slower, and in the future, people will be replenished every day, and the normal construction speed will be reached when it reaches 200.

Liu Xun is responsible for raising supplies, no matter what his ability is, after all, he is the one who is most familiar with Lujiang. Besides, Yuan Yao's subordinates only have Liu Ye and Buqi, Liu Ye has already sent an envoy to Jingzhou, Buqi's main job is to recruit talents, he has to do his own work before he can come to help.

At this time, in addition to the fact that Buqi had already begun to cast a net to catch people according to the information of the famous generals provided by Yuan Yao, there were several people in Lujiang County who needed to be recruited, one was Lu Su, the second was Chen Wu, and the other was Zhou Yu, but for Zhou Yu, Yuan Yao always felt that it was unlikely. But fortunately, he handed over all these to Buqi, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore.

I am very curious about Lu Su and his people, because on Yuan Yao's bamboo slips, Lu Su's evaluation is higher than that of Buqi, and his intelligence and political ability are 90+ evaluations, so Buqi is very much looking forward to meeting Lu Su.

There is also a "Jinfan thief" on the Yangtze River who makes Yuan Yao drool, and Gan Ning needs to focus on looking for it, so there are still a lot of things to do at this stage. But despite this, he was still able to spare time to help Liu Xun prepare supplies and familiarize himself with the situation in Lujiang by the way.

Sun Ce and Zhang Xun began to use the existing ships to train sailors, and were responsible for the secrecy of shipbuilding. Although such a large-scale material transfer must not be hidden, at least it cannot be easily checked by others to determine Yuan Yao's production capacity.

At the beginning of the clone's shipbuilding, the wood was processed first, and when a certain amount of finished wood was accumulated, some people began to build ships, and some people continued to process, while Yuan Yao led 14 clones to join the production every day.

After a few days, the number of clones had accumulated to 200, and Yuan Yao began to prepare for another fighting ship.

At this time, Yuan Yao suddenly found that nearly half of the people were constantly processing wood, and these woods could be done by ordinary carpenters, so there was no need to clone people. So Yuan Yao asked Bu Qiu to recruit carpenters to give a hand to the clones, because the pre-work arrangements for Bu Qi's recruitment were almost complete, and most of the rest were waiting for news, so the time was getting more and more abundant, and after a few days of help, Bu Qi was already familiar with Lujiang government affairs and had the ability to be responsible for some things alone.

On the same day, the carpenter near Shu County, Lujiang Zhisuo, was brought to Yuan Yao by Buqi, looking at the more than 50 carpenters who suddenly appeared, Yuan Yao couldn't help but praise Buqi a few words, capable people are comfortable to use.

Yuan Yao began to take the wood processed by the clones as a prototype and handed it over to the carpenters for processing, and the carpenters also said that there was no problem after reading it, but their abilities were uneven, and they needed a lot of time for language communication when they cooperated with each other, and the overall work efficiency was nearly one-third lower than that of the clones, but their addition did increase the production capacity, because the next day, 37 clones stopped working, which means that they are already redundant labor here.

Yuan Yao was very happy to see it, and hurriedly led 37 people to transfer to the construction of the fighting ship, and as Bu Qi sent more and more carpenters, more and more clones were liberated, so the time to build the expected fleet in the end would be shortened a lot, which was good news anyway.

However, Yuan Yao's job will not be to pretend there, but to really start coordinating the cooperation between clones and carpenters, and this work is only done by him, and as the number of warships starts working, Yuan Yao's work will become busier and busier.

After ten days of running-in, the carpenter was also constantly recruited by Buqi, and Yuan Yao finally confirmed the number of clones reduced by joining the carpenter-

The building ship has changed from 200 people to only 120 clones to build; The number of fighting ships was reduced from 100 to 60; The construction of the ship has not yet begun, but it is estimated that it can be built by reducing the number of people from 60 to 40 based on the change in data.

As for the number of carpenters, it is impossible to calculate precisely because of their different abilities and unstable efficiency, but it is certain that it is quite a bit more than the reduced number of clones. The higher the number of carpenters, the lower the work efficiency, and the higher the proportion of extra people.

Based on these data, Yuan Yao calculated that in 100 days, that is, the moment when the longest building ship was completed, the navy would have 1 building ship, 6 fighting ships, 6 three-oar war ships, and 14 ships. Coupled with the original shipbuilding capacity of Lujiang and the original shipbuilding capacity of Lujiang during this time, the number of ships should be about 30, not counting other small boats, most of them are manned landing, or fireboats that set fire.

According to the number of ships alone, he already has the ability to fight with Liu Xuan, but there must be two prerequisites, one is that Liu Xuan did not increase the number of warships during this time; The second is that Yuan Yao's naval army can control the newly produced warships without training.

This is obviously impossible, and it is easy to say that the fighting ship and the ship are relatively short, because the construction time is short, and it will have about 50 to 100 days more training time than the building ship, but the building ship does need to start training from scratch. In other words, when Yuan Yao can start a war with Liu Xuan depends entirely on when Lou Chuan can form combat effectiveness.

But the more the training of the building ship is delayed, the more Yuan Yao will produce the number of ships. After the completion of the ship, all the clones will gradually be transferred to the construction of ships with a short production cycle, and another 21 ships can be built for Yuan Yao in the first month, and the number will soar to 45 in the second month, and then increase by 10 ships per month, 55, 65, and 75 ships......

Of course, Yuan Yao would not have built so many warships, because there were not so many troops to manipulate them.

Just when Yuan Yao rolled up his arms and was working hard, Liu Xun Zhan Keke's report: The wood for shipbuilding is gone, the collected wood is still on the way, and I don't know how long it will take, so I have sent someone to urge it......

In other words, Yuan Yao has to stop work, and the start time is still uncertain.

Yuan Yao looked at Liu Xun in front of him, endured his anger and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier that there was not enough wood?" I can also guarantee the materials for the building ship first, but now it's all stopped, what do you think you should be guilty of? ”

Liu Xun hurriedly bowed to the ground and said, "The general forgives the sin!" Xia Guan really didn't expect the general to have so many shipwrights! Xia Guan really didn't expect to build so many ships! Ask the general for forgiveness......"

“……”

Yuan Yao listened to Liu Xun's reason and found that he really couldn't be blamed entirely, who would know that he had a system, a clone, and an almost infinite number of mature craftsmen!

After figuring it out, Yuan Yao's anger disappeared for the most part: "Okay, it's also to blame me for not communicating with you well, I won't blame you this time, but I won't take it as an example." I hope you will be more eye-catching in the future, pay more attention to the reality of the situation, don't always take it for granted, get up. ”

"General Xie! General Xie's grace of innocence! Liu Xun kowtowed again and again before daring to get up and wait aside.

……

After an hour, all the clones stopped working because they ran out of raw materials. Yuan Yao had no choice but to look at them blankly, and then prepared to go back to Shu County to rest, but the guards suddenly reported urgently:

"Hundreds of warships have appeared in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which are approaching the waters of the Lujiang River, suspected to be the Jingzhou Navy Army, and Sun Ce has led the Navy warships to confront them."

"Hundreds??" Yuan Yao was taken aback when he heard this......
