Zhu Jie traveled all the way south, and the intelligence from all over the country was continuously gathered into his hands through the Ministry of Intelligence.

Zhu Jie's face was gloomy to the extreme, if it weren't for the fact that patrolling the two shipyards was also a top priority, for the future development of the Ming Empire, he would have gone straight back to Beijing and personally dealt with the matter.

Especially when Xu Yifan and others' concerto was handed to him, the concerto was torn to pieces by Zhu Jie! Outrageous!

No matter what, the generals of the world are still far away from Zhu Jie, Zhu Jie can trust Xu Yifan, Qin Mufeng and others without reservation, even at any time, he can rest assured and boldly put his back in the hands of these people, but the trust in Li Dingguo is far from this level, even if Zhu Jie admires Li Dingguo, it is impossible to trust them unreservedly!

This matter has already involved Li Dingguo's most vital interests, and sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound that Li Dingguo is most unwilling to touch, who knows how radical Li Dingguo's reaction will be? It can't be said that Qin Mufeng did bad things with good intentions, and he hit the right thing, and exposed the thunder just right, if it is delayed, when these people pour Sheng Jing by themselves and show it to Li Dingguo, at that time, it will be too difficult to recover the impact, after all, Li Dingguo is not a dough that can be kneaded at will, it is a tiger general in a hundred battles, and he was bullied like this by others, who can stand it?

"Someone, the purpose! Jin Feng Li Dingguo was the Marquis of Jinyang, with 3,000 stones; Luoyang Prefect, Henan Prefect, Mengjin County Order, all asked for beheading, Henan political envoy Guo Mingyi dismissed the people, exiled to Yunnan, never used, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Supervision were not effective, and the four Shangshu were fined for three months to set an example!! ”

Zhu Jie's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he made a will, ordered someone to send him back to the capital, and he took a boat to go south along the canal, all the way to Nanjing.

When I arrived in Nanjing, it was already a month later.

Huang Zongxi and others had already gotten the news and greeted Zhu Jie at the wharf of Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Huang Zongxi, Mao Yuanyi, Yuan Jixian, Bi Denghan, Hu Yanlei and others knelt on the ground to greet Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie waved his hand, his face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice: "No need to be polite, Jiangnan Province has handled the government affairs well, Yuan Gong has worked hard, I won't go to the palace, go directly to Longjiang Bao Shipyard!" ”

Entered the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, inspected the dock first, the warships are under intense construction, thousands of shipwrights continue to work intensively, Zhu Jie keeps nodding, the current Longjiang Bao Shipyard, compared with a few years ago, a sky, an underground, Hu Yanlei has really spent a lot of effort in recent years, and his contribution is indispensable.

"Huyan, tell me, what is most lacking in Longjiang Bao Shipyard now? What do you think and what suggestions do you have for the imperial court to make every effort to build the Ming naval fleet? ”

Returning to the yamen of the treasure shipyard, Zhu Jie just sat down and gave Hu Yanlei the exam questions.

Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, now Longjiang Bao Shipyard can be said to have reached its peak, and it is almost impossible to expand the production capacity of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, even if we can increase the number of workers, or improve the operation level of workers, but the scale of this Longjiang Bao Shipyard really cannot be expanded, you have also seen, our dock has expanded several times more than the original, and it cannot be expanded in the ......."

Zhu Jie frowned, this is indeed a problem, after all, the width of the Yangtze River and the Longjiang River is so much, and now the construction of a warship of 2,500 materials is already at the top, and it is not difficult to build a battleship of 3,000 materials, even if the production capacity can be increased again, but it will not be very big, and it has reached the limit.

"So what do you mean? Preparing for the construction of the navy, we can't wait, just rely on the current production capacity of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, but we can't do it......"

Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, want to greatly expand production capacity, can only expand a treasure shipyard in accordance with the expansion of Quanzhou Bao Shipyard, and now we have no shortage of mature workers, over the years, Longjiang Bao Shipyard has trained a large number of workers, the minister thought that he could build a treasure shipyard again, and Longjiang, Quanzhou to form a three-legged situation, however, the location must be selected on the coast, so that we can not be limited by geography, the dock can be built as best we can, if we can have three first-class treasure shipyards, Then in the shortest possible time, a strong production capacity can be formed, more than 2,000 warships can be built every year, more than 20, more than 40 warships between 1,000 and 2,000 materials, it only takes five years, you can have more than 100 new main warships, more than 200 secondary main warships, five years later, the strength of the Ming fleet can be directly doubled! ”

"Preparing for the third treasure shipyard again?"

Zhu Jie asked, "Then what is your opinion, where to choose as the location of the third treasure shipyard?" ”

"Matsue Mansion!"

Hu Yanlei replied without thinking: "Your Majesty, Songjiang Mansion has a natural excellent port in Shanghai County, and as the mouth of the Yangtze River, the waters are vast, the trade is developed, and now the shipbuilding industry has a very good foundation, transfer some craftsmen from the treasure shipyard to the past, and then absorb some craftsmen in the local area, in two years, the treasure shipyard can be fully completed and put into use, and the same as Quanzhou, such a treasure shipyard, not limited by geography, can fully meet the emperor's wishes!" ”

"Well, two years......"

Zhu Jie was a little helpless, he had to wait for two years, and when the third treasure shipyard was built and put into production, it would be two years later, and time waited for no one......

"Aiqing, you should tell me, in addition to preparing for the construction of the third treasure shipyard, is there any other way to speed up the construction of warships again?"

Hu Yanlei pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there are two more ways......

"Say!"

Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice: "The first way, that is, to divide the construction of the warship into standard components, according to the size, from the private procurement, in this way, will save a lot of time, Bao Shipyard, is mainly responsible for the assembly of it, once this method is feasible, then we can build the speed of the warship can be doubled, after all, the preliminary process of building the battleship is all handed over to the civilian, we can concentrate on dealing with the later assembly and construction projects, twice the result with half the effort, however, there is a problem here, that is, It is impossible to control the mass ...... of the battleship"

Zhu Jie's heart lit up, wonderful, let the power of the people intervene, the people are the real hidden dragon and crouching tiger! As for the quality, do you need to worry about this?

"Haha, yes, Huyan, this idea is good, don't worry about the quality, all the civil forces that undertake the project must be responsible for the construction of the ship's board and other components, mark the name, except for the mistake, according to the map, and severely punish the crime!"
