Jiangning County, the gate of the Lu family.

Tang Tingbai and his party of ten people stood here.

Jin Yiwei was sent to the gate by Shen Quan, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, and took out the waist card from his waist and handed it to the family at the door: "Give this waist card to the head of your Lu family, and say that Emperor Dayan is here." ”

Emperor Dayan?

The family was stunned for a moment, and looked at Tang Tingbai and the others vigilantly.

He didn't see who looked like the emperor.

Jia Ding looked at Tang Tingbai, and it could be judged from the positions of these people that this handsome young man in a green shirt was the son of this group of people.

But is he really the emperor?

How is it different from what is rumored?

It is rumored that the tyrant Tang Tingbai kills people like hemp, and he can't sleep without killing thousands of people every day, and his green-faced fangs are like hellish ghosts.

But the young man in front of him gave Jia Ding a strange feeling, except for being handsome.

After receiving the token handed over by Shen Quan, the family did not dare to hesitate, said a little wait, and immediately turned around and entered the Lu Mansion.

Although he didn't know whether the other party's identity was true or false, he didn't dare to slack off as a small family.

About a few minutes later, a middle-aged man rushed out murderously with hundreds of men dressed in the Lu family's service.

This group of people has a characteristic, that is, both hands are iron arms, and even the traces of machinery can be clearly seen.

"Master, it is he who calls himself the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town." The guy just now pointed to Shen Quandao.

The middle-aged man walked to Shen Quan's side with a gloomy face, and handed Shen Quan the waist card representing the Beizhen Fusi Zhen Fu Envoy, and his voice was cold: "Boy, the waist card is real, but who knows if you stole or robbed it?" And whether you are real or fake, my Lu family is not welcome, please leave! ”

You—

Shen Quan's face changed.

He didn't expect that the other party would dare to talk to Jinyiwei like this, especially in front of the emperor.

This made Shen Quan very faceless.

And Tang Tingbai narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him carefully.

He looks like he is about forty years old, with gray hair, and he looks like he has good facial features and sharp edges while wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and he was definitely a handsome guy when he was young.

However, these are not Tang Tingbai's concerns.

Tang Tingbai was concerned about the pair of mechanical arms of the middle-aged man in front of him.

Made of pure steel, it shimmers in the sun.

Tang Tingbai walked in front of the middle-aged man with a smile and arched his hand: "This gentleman, in the lower Tang Tingbai, if you have something important to find the head of the Lu family, please make it convenient." ”

At this moment, Tang Tingbai put his attitude very low.

Well?

Don Tingbai?

The middle-aged man was stunned, although he didn't hate the young man in front of him, but he didn't have a good impression either.

And the other party claimed to be the Emperor of Dayan.

True or not, he didn't want anything to happen to that tyrant Tang Tingbai.

Master Lu Ban snorted coldly: "If you don't roll again, don't blame our Lu family disciples for doing it." ”

As he spoke, Master Lu Ban directly raised the mechanical arm in his right hand.

At the same time, hundreds of Lu family disciples took a step forward in unison, and their bodies were filled with murderous aura.

"Bold!"

Shen Quan roared angrily, and had already pulled out the embroidered spring knife and slashed at Master Lu Ban.

Shen Quan's strength is also in the heavenly rank, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand has already stabbed out more than a dozen sword flowers in the air in a row.

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

Ping Pong –

At the critical moment, Master Lu Ban directly blocked his arms in front of his face.

The embroidered spring knife and the mechanical arm collided together, and sparks flew everywhere.

Master Lu Ban stood still and did not move.

And Shen Quan took a dozen steps back before he could be regarded as standing firm.

"It's so strong!" Shen Quan exclaimed, his face a little ugly.

And Master Lu Ban sneered: "The dignified Jinyi Wei Zhenfu envoy has this strength? ”

You—

Shen Quan's face changed, since the other party knew that he was the pacification envoy of Jinyiwei, he still dared to resist, and dared to give him face like this, looking for death!

Not far away, Tang Tingbai smiled.

He had already heard it from Master Luban's words.

This Master Luban has already confirmed Shen Quan's identity.

And it is very likely that he has also determined his identity.

The reason why I pretend not to recognize is because I don't want to have too much intersection with myself.

This is also understandable, after all, Tang Tingbai's reputation is that he is a tyrant and kills people like hemp.

And what family is willing to get involved with the tyrant Tang Tingbai?

Tang Tingbai walked towards Master Lu Ban with his hands behind his back: "Master of the Lu family, since you have recognized my identity, don't pretend, besides, it is impossible for your Lu family to not have much intersection with me, because this time I came to deliver orders to your Lu family on behalf of the Ministry of Industry." ”

What?

Hearing this, Master Lu Ban's face was a little ugly.

can be the head of the family, and he is naturally a smart person.

He heard the threat from the words of the tyrant Tang Tingbai.

Obviously, if he continued to pretend not to know Tang Tingbai, with the temper of this tyrant, it was very likely that the Ministry of Industry would directly cancel the cooperation with their Lu family.

You must know that although the Lu family has a lot of business, there are not many real big customers.

The Ministry of Industry is one of them.

If Tang Tingbai really asked the Ministry of Industry to cancel the shipbuilding cooperation with the Lu family, the Lu family would lose at least millions of taels of silver every year.

Thinking of this, Master Lu Ban stared at Tang Tingbai coldly, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"The head of the Lu family, Master Lu Ban meets the emperor!"

After speaking, Master Lu Ban bowed directly.

And those people of the Lu family also bowed down in unison.

Tang Tingbai smiled, did not speak, and did not have the slightest intention of letting the other party get up.

Just now, this Master Luban gave him a dismount, and now Tang Tingbai naturally wants to return it.

After a full stick of incense.

Everyone in the Lu family also bowed down with a stick of incense.

Although this action does not seem like much, if it takes a long time, it will cause back pain.

Tang Tingbai took a deep breath, with a hint of a smile on his face: "Hehe, get up!"

Everyone stood up in unison, and Tang Tingbai looked at Master Lu Ban with a smile on his face: "Master Lu, I heard that you have a drawing for making an ironclad ship in your hand, right?" ”

This one......

Hearing this, Master Lu Ban's face changed.

How did this tyrant know about the drawings?

You must know that the blueprint of this ironclad ship is a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by their Lu family, and only the head of the family is qualified to know.

But Tang Tingbai, the tyrant, knew, could it be that Jinyiwei arranged spies in the Lu family?

Master Lu Ban wanted to deny it immediately, but he thought about it.

Since this tyrant came to the Lu family from Lingling County, he must have conclusive evidence.

If this was the case, he would never believe it even if he denied Tang Tingbai.

Thinking of this, Master Lu Ban smiled bitterly twice, and he nodded: "Back to the emperor, that's right, I do have a drawing for the manufacture of an ironclad ship in my hand, but it is just a drawing, there are too many materials and too many manpower to make an ironclad ship, and it is almost impossible to achieve!" ”

Oh?

Tang Tingbai smiled: "Will the head of the Lu family let me talk at the gate of your house?" ”

Hearing this, Master Lu Ban hurriedly bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, please!" ”

Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Master Lu Ban also knew in his heart that since the emperor of Dayan had arrived at the door, he must not turn people away.

He didn't want the people of the world to say that his Lu family was impolite and unqualified.

The living room of the Lu family.

Tang Tingbai unceremoniously sat in the position of the head of the Lu family.

He is the emperor of Dayan, and the first person in Dayan today is qualified to sit in this position.

And Master Lu Ban sat on Tang Tingbai's right hand.

"Master Lu, you just said that there are too many materials needed to build an ironclad ship, can you tell me what materials are needed?" Tang Tingbai said curiously.

He had now made up his mind to destroy the Ryukyus.

And at all costs.

Of course, there is another purpose for building the ironclad ship Tang Tingbai.

That is to develop the navy, after all, his goal is to conquer the world, and the enemy on land can naturally be solved with infantry and cavalry.

And the enemy, who faces each other across the sea, naturally needs a navy.

"Emperor Qi, the total length of the ironclad ship is more than five hundred meters, and the width is also more than one hundred and fifty meters, it is made of pure iron, and tens of thousands of iron essences are required to consume alone, plus weapons and the training of craftsmen."

"I'll tell you the truth, although my Lu family has a lot of craftsmen, it will take at least half a year to make an ironclad ship, and even if it is made, it is useless, after all, the court is now banned from the sea, even if there is an ironclad ship, it is impossible for the court to buy it."

Oh?

Listening to Master Lu Ban's words, Tang Tingbai's eyes lit up.

He is also a smart man, and he can clearly hear it from the other party's words.

The Lu family has quietly built some ironclad ships, but no one has bought them.

Thinking of this, Tang Tingbai's breathing became a little solemn.

"Master of the Lu family, you should know that I have not been short of money since I destroyed several vassal countries, how many ironclad ships does your Lu family have now, and how much do you plan to sell them?" Tang Tingbai said seriously.

Master Lu Ban smiled with satisfaction, he couldn't help but look at Tang Tingbai, the rumored impulsive and brainless tyrant.

He just deliberately showed a flaw in his words, and Tang Tingbai was able to keenly grasp this flaw.

Sure enough, the people who can become the Emperor of Dayan are not ordinary characters.

Moreover, Master Luban also changed his mind.

Just now, he really didn't want to have anything to do with Tang Tingbai, a tyrant.

But now it's different, if Tang Tingbai really takes the lead and buys all the ironclad ships made by their Lu family for generations, it will be their Lu family's great benefactor.

After all, the ironclad ship can only eat ash in the warehouse, and only when it is sold can it bring value to the Lu family.

After all, over the years, in order to manufacture and develop ironclad ships, the Lu family has invested countless manpower and material resources.

After pondering for a moment, Master Lu Ban raised his head and looked at Tang Tingbai Zhengse and said: "Your Majesty, I won't talk nonsense, and I won't tell you what my Lu family has paid to build an ironclad ship, so let's do it, I won't ink either, an ironclad ship, one million taels of silver, how about it?" ”
