Hearing this, Tang Tingbai pursed his lips.

That's not ink?

Obviously, an ironclad ship is one million taels of silver, and it has to be inked.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin, one million taels of silver is not cheap.

You know, a million taels of silver can do a lot of things.

One tael of silver can buy two hundred catties of rice in Dayan.

One million taels of silver can buy 200 million catties of rice.

And 200 million catties of rice are enough for the people of Guiyang County and Jianghua County in Jiangnan Prefecture to eat for a while.

"Money is not an issue, but shouldn't the head of the Lu family take me to visit the ironclad ship? Or let me think about how much I should buy? ”

"Of course, if your ironclad ship is really so good, I don't mind letting the Ministry of Industry and your Lu family cooperate for a long time on the ironclad project."

Hiss –

Master Lu Ban's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see the opportunity for the Lu family to make a fortune.

Although the Lu family is also a family, it has been suppressed by the other two major shipbuilding families.

Therefore, the comprehensive strength of the Lu family in recent years is not as good as before.

"Your Majesty, please come with me, I promise to satisfy you." Master Lu Ban laughed: "Your Majesty, the warehouse is the inside of the Lu family, and a stick of incense will arrive." ”

After a stick of incense, the Lu family Ding warehouse.

At this moment, the pure steel door slowly opened.

What catches your eye is a black-black ironclad ship.

Just by glancing at it, Tang Tingbai gasped.

Because the deterrent power of this big guy is too strong, even a heaven-level master like Tang Tingbai has a feeling of fear.

"Hehe, the emperor's ironclad ship can accommodate three thousand soldiers."

"The warships of the Ryukyu vassal countries are basically wooden ships, and at most they are just wrapped with a layer of iron sheet on the bow of the wooden ship."

"Think about it, once we start a war with the Ryukyus and directly drive the ironclad ship to ram it, the enemy's warship will inevitably shatter, and there will be no strength to fight at all."

Tang Tingbai nodded, as the king of special warfare in his previous life, he could better understand the meaning of the existence of this kind of ironclad ship.

Although in his time, the so-called ironclad ships had long been eliminated.

But in this parallel family.

If it is a naval battle, the ironclad is absolutely invincible.

At the very least, it is not a problem to hold the little Ryukyu.

Tang Tingbai went directly to the ironclad ship.

On the entire ironclad ship, even the deck is made of steel, and on both sides are two hundred catapults.

In these years, there were no explosives and artillery.

So even in naval warfare, the only long-range and lethal weapon is a catapult.

After looking at the entire ironclad ship, Tang Tingbai smiled with satisfaction.

Although this big guy's one million taels of silver is indeed a little expensive, it is still within the affordability.

After all, he destroyed so many small countries, and the money he robbed was enough for the Great Yan Imperial Court to squander for more than ten years.

"Master of the Lu family, I want to know how many of these ironclad ships there are in your Lu family?" Tang Tingbai said seriously.

This......

Listening to Tang Tingbai's words, Master Lu Ban looked overjoyed.

He knew that big business was coming.

Master Lu Ban immediately cleared his throat: "Back to the emperor, our Lu family has built a total of ten ironclad ships over the years, if the emperor can buy them all at once, I can give you a discount, nine million taels of silver is enough." ”

Tang Tingbai nodded: "Okay, then nine million taels, I have bought all ten ironclad ships." ”

"The emperor is magnificent, the Lu family meets the emperor, it is the ancestors of the Lu family who accumulate virtue and do good." Master Lu Ban gave a rare compliment.

Tang Tingbai smiled and did not speak.

He directly ordered Shen Quan to write the holy decree.

Ordered the household department and Jinyiwei to unite and escort nine million taels of silver to the Lu family in Jiangnan.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry sent 30,000 craftsmen to the Lu family to learn shipbuilding technology and assist the Lu family in building more ironclad ships.

Tang Tingbai roughly calculated that if he wanted to form a navy, he would need at least 100,000 people.

And an ironclad ship can only be built with 3,000 people, which means that at least more than 20 ironclad ships are needed.

The task is heavy, and it is difficult to complete it only by relying on the Lu family.

Of course, even if it can be completed, it will take a lot of time.

Tang Tingbai is most lacking time now, he doesn't want to wait, so he directly ordered the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with the Lu family.

Tang Tingbai touched his chin, a little embarrassed.

Because now Dayan doesn't have a navy at all, let alone a navy, even a navy.

Shen Quan, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, was a smart person, and he immediately saw Tang Tingbai's thoughts: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that the Qilin Army was originally a naval army, but because the naval army is useless in Dayan, it has no choice but to turn into infantry." ”

Oh?

Tang Tingbai's eyes lit up.

"Shen Quan, order Lu Bu's First Army to take over the defense of the Qilin Army Shandong Mansion."

"At the same time, order the Kirin Army to immediately move south and prepare to attack the Ryukyus."

Shen Quan nodded: "My subordinates will go." ”

After arranging everything, Tang Tingbai breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything is arranged, and now when the Kirin Army arrives, the ironclad ship can be launched.

After half a month of training, you can destroy the Ryukyus.

Tang Tingbai stared at Master Lu Ban's mechanical arm, and asked curiously: "Master of the Lu family, I am a little curious, how come your Lu family's family members, including you, the head of the Lu family, are all robotic arms?" Did you have an accident with your original arm? ”

Master Lu Ban smiled helplessly, he looked at his pair of mechanical arms, his eyes were a little complicated.

"Don't hide it from the emperor, my Lu family's family members have all been cultivated since childhood."

"Each generation of the head of the Lu family will adopt a group of orphans twenty years in advance, cut off the arms of these orphans, and install mechanical arms."

"In this way, more than ten years later, the robotic arm can be used as freely as a real human arm, and it is also a combat weapon."

"As for my pair of robotic arms, I'm ashamed, when I was six years old, my father personally cut it down, and personally installed this pair of robotic arms for me, after all these years of fusion and ten rebuilds, relying on this pair of robotic arms, my strength is comparable to the Heavenly Rank Nine Pins."

In the end, there was a hint of pride in Master Luban's voice, but more of a sadness.

Who wants to be a weirdo?

Who wants to be pointed at when walking down the street?

Tang Tingbai sighed, he didn't speak.

In fact, who doesn't have a little helplessness in their life?

People like Tang Tingbai and Master Lu Ban are already okay, at least their names will be on the history books in the future.

Thousands of years later, future generations will also know through history books that there were such two people in history.

But what about the people at the bottom of Dayan?

A hundred years from now, no one remembers their names.

They are just lowly and numbered among the world.

Just like most people in reality.

Thinking of this, Tang Tingbai sighed, he was just about to speak.

But his face changed.

In his previous life, as a special warfare king, he was very sensitive to murderous aura.

Coupled with his already not weak strength, Tang Tingbai felt that he was in danger at the gate of the Lu family.

At the same time, Master Lu Ban's face was also ugly: "Who dares to come to my Lu family to make trouble and look for death?" ”

Master Lu Ban's strength of the Heavenly Rank Nine Grades naturally felt the monstrous killing intent.

"Gather the Lu family, follow the head of the family to the door to see, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and wants to be unfavorable to my Lu family!"

As soon as the words fell, all the two hundred members of the Lu family walked behind Master Lu Ban.

Most of these people are the existence of the peak of the ninth rank of the earth rank, and a considerable number of them are already heaven level masters.

Tang Tingbai walked to Master Lu Ban's side, his face calm: "The head of the Lu family is angry, maybe they are here to find me, the Emperor of Dayan." ”

What?

Master Luban's face changed.

He's not a fool.

If the other party comes to trouble the Lu family, it should be another family.

And if you are looking for trouble with Tang Tingbai, a tyrant, who still exudes a killing intent, it is likely that he came to assassinate Tang Tingbai.

Master Lu Ban snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, you are in the Lu family, and the Lu family has the obligation to protect your safety, not to mention that you are still the biggest customer of our Lu family, if you die, who do we care about the money?" ”

After speaking, Master Lu Ban turned his head with a cold face and looked at the two hundred Lu family members: "Listen to the head of the family, face the assassins in a while, fight to the death, you can die, the head of the family can also die, but the emperor of my Dayan must not die, do you understand?" ”
