Several wealthy businessmen fled in disgrace, and Li Ziyin, who was holding her stomach, finally let out a bad breath.

"Lord Wang, it turns out that you knew early on that they wanted to make trouble on your territory, and at the beginning of the fight, it was already counted to this point!"

Li Hao was dumbfounded: "I can't say that, I'm just guessing, after all, they didn't eat such a big piece of fat as locals, but they were eaten by me, a foreigner, how could they not be angry, if it were me, I would have to make a stumbling block!" ”

Li Hao said it easily, but whether it was Li Mingda or Li Ziyin, they were very aware of how deep he was in this bureau.

The plan to build a shipyard in Suzhou Binhai was already set by Li Hao as early as half a year ago, when the Linghui Army had not yet expeditioned to Tuyuhun. Now that he is fighting the Japanese and catching the traitors, which thing is not done by him? If it hadn't been planned from the beginning, then his ability to adapt to the situation would have been a little too powerful.

Li Hao was a little uncomfortable by them, and touched his nose in embarrassment: "The matter is over, and it's not interesting to talk about it anymore." Let's talk about what's happening now! Now that several wealthy businessmen in Suzhou have been cheated by us, with their financial support, I believe that the funds for the construction of the first batch of warships do not need to be bothered by our families. ”

"That's right, yours is too big, the amount of investment in this shipyard far exceeds my and Mr. Lu Yuchang's expectations, it's only been a few months, and the finances of both of us are about to be emptied of you. Now that we have money in our accounts, it can be regarded as helping us relieve our stress! ”

Li Ziyin said with a wry smile.

Although Li Mingda did not speak, it could be seen from her expression that even if Li Shimin was the king of a country, if he wanted to keep up with Li Hao's pace, the treasury was a little stretched.

"So, Lord Wang, the top of your smelting department has already determined the manufacturing pattern of the first batch of warships?"

Li Hao spread his hands: "Where is it so fast, all kinds of warship patterns have been drawn by countless ancestors with excellence, and there is almost no place that can be deleted and added, and now it is necessary to gather a little bit of more than a dozen warships in one place, even if it is the smelting department of Lijiazhuang, it is not so fast." ”

"But fortunately, with the help of the son of Jiangnan Shipyard, I believe that the pattern will come out soon!"

"Then I'll go and prepare the materials for shipbuilding!"

Li Ziyin's personality type is popular, and when she heard that the pattern was about to appear, she immediately couldn't sit still.

In order to keep up with Li Hao's pace, the Li family in Longxi can be regarded as open this time. In the past few months, she has been frantically throwing money into the bottomless pit of Li Hao, if she can't see the results, it is estimated that the Li family is trusting her and will have to rebel.

"Please, I'll let the management of the smelting department discuss the matter of materials with you!"

——

After three days, Jiang Beicheng, the young son of Jiangnan Shipyard, stared at a pair of dark panda eyes, and Liang Yizhou came to Li Hao with each other's hands, their hands trembled slightly because of excitement, and put a crumpled pattern in Li Hao's hand.

For seven consecutive days, the craftsmen of the smelting department of Lijiazhuang and the workers of the Jiangnan Shipyard gathered in a secret room, and worked diligently for seven consecutive days, almost like crazy, and finally made this pattern and sent it to Li Hao.

"Owner! This is the pattern of the ship that we painstakingly drawn, and then I'll leave it to you! ”

Liang Yizhou held Li Hao's hands and handed the pattern to Li Hao like a Gu. Then they were helped to leave, and it would definitely take a long time for them to regain their energy compared to this time.

Seeing off the two, Li Hao was also very excited, and immediately summoned all the core employees of the shipyard, handed over the drawings to them, and ordered the shipyard to build a warship within half a month.

The workers of the forging department of Lijiazhuang have long been accustomed to this kind of work mode with tight time and heavy tasks, and when they heard that Li Hao asked them to build a war weapon that will be famous all over the world, they were as excited as if they were going to fight.

Their enthusiasm, along with the other workers, was also infected, and they joined the shipbuilding movement.

In the shipyard, more than 1,000 workers work diligently in black and white, like ants.

In just two days, the main keel of the warship has been built.

Every day, the deputy minister of the smelting department will personally report to Li Hao on the shipbuilding work. The speed of shipbuilding can be described as a day.

Every time he heard the report, Li Hao couldn't help but be excited for a long time.

Li Hao can be said to know nothing about the construction of warships, so he did not pretend to inspect the work, and handed over the responsibility to several ministers.

On this day, Ke Bairen, the guard of Suzhou New County, suddenly came to Li Hao in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.

"Master Ke, what's the matter?"

Although Li Hao and Ke Bairen are not very familiar with each other, they know that this person is quite capable, and if it weren't for something really wrong, it would be impossible to be in a hurry like this.

Ke Bairen's face changed several times, walked to Li Hao's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"What!" Li Hao was taken aback and stood up from his chair: "The road on the sea is blocked!" ”

Ke Boren nodded vigorously: "These pirates came at night, and they were extremely fast, and the survivors of the merchant ships who were robbed said that they were like ghosts. ”

"Where's the Sailor Guard!"

"The ships of the Navy Guards are old, and they can't keep up with the speed of the pirates, and after receiving the news, the guards went out to sea to patrol, but they couldn't catch up with these pirates several times. Now no merchant ships dare to go to sea! Lord Wang, you must help the officials think of a way! ”

In the early years of Zhenguan, Li Shimin was busy dealing with the five surnames and Qiwang, fighting against the Tibetan Khitan, and did not experience strengthening the strength of the water division. Therefore, the coastal sailors are old and weak, so they will be harassed by the bandits all the year round.

Now that Li Hao has finally expelled a wave of pirates, and a group of pirates has emerged, it is really annoying.

"Master Ke, please help me give me an order, within half a month, all merchant ships will be suspended, don't go to sea, and all losses will be borne by this king! Hoard all the goods and materials to be transported, and listen to my command in half a month! ”

"Understood, thank you prince, I'll do it!"

Ke Bairen didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, so he hurried out. It can be seen that he is a good official who sincerely wants to do things for the people.

"Brother Li!" Li Mingda hurriedly walked to Li Hao's side and shouted worriedly.

Suzhou, as a port city, maritime trade is prosperous, Li Hao ordered all merchant ships to be suspended, and the loss can be borne by one force, no matter how big Lijiazhuang's family business is, it can't withstand such consumption.

Li Hao patted Li Mingda on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I have my own measure!" Since we are going to gradually build a new sailor, we must make a name for ourselves as soon as possible. This pirate incident has given us just the opportunity! Fame, if you can buy it with money, no matter how you calculate it, we earn it! ”

"Okay!" Li Mingda sighed helplessly, if she wanted to talk about business, she couldn't catch up with Li Hao's head. Now that the enemy is present, he can only choose to believe him.

"Black Hawk!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Inform the family and ask them to get what I need as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Black Hawk responded and walked out of the room quickly.
