Lu Yuan's expression was slightly complicated, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, the mixed river dragon slowly released his clenched fist, and he also looked strange.

Lu Qing didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two at all, and patted Lu Yuan's shoulder excitedly.

"You don't know, when Lu Ji came that day, it really scared me."

"I thought my dad knew about me being a county magistrate in Liaocheng and sent him to arrest me back."

"Unexpectedly, after that kid came, he didn't say a word and asked me where the dock was."

"I pressed it again and again before he finally said it."

"Dare to love him, he lost to your brother in riding, and was punished to Liaocheng as a coolie!"

"Hahahaha, it just relieved my brother's hatred!"

Lu Yuan smiled awkwardly, "This is what I should do." ”

"He bullied his brother so badly, I have long wanted to fix him for my brother."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan didn't forget to remind, "But brother, don't get too carried away." ”

"Although he lost to me on land, he only worked hard at the dock for a month."

"A month later, he is still the most beautiful prince and eldest grandson of Lieqian."

"You have to hurry up and grow up in Liaocheng, and you must not slack off."

"Hehe, brother, don't worry, brother knows it!"

Lu Qing didn't say more, and continued to pout his butt and lie on the ground, concentrating on studying the two dead grasses.

Lu Yuan's face was full of disgust, he no longer paid attention to his embarrassed brother, and pulled Chaojianglong away.

"Lord Shizi, who is that guy?"

Mixed Jianglong asked curiously, "Why does he call you brother, you call him brother." ”

"Could it be that he is also the prince of the Lieqian Dynasty??"

"It's not."

Lu Yuan shook his head and said firmly, "I don't know my brothers externally, but I don't know them internally." ”

Immediately, he took the mixed river dragon and went straight to the dock port.

At this moment, it is dawn, and the sky is not completely bright.

Wu Yue had already brought a group of craftsmen and was busy at the dock.

After all, the previous prince had given them a target to build ten warships.

In order to return to the imperial city as soon as possible, Wu Yue could only divide the officials of the Ministry of Works and the temporarily recruited pyrotechnics into two shifts.

One shift does daytime, one shift does night, day and night to catch up with work.

"Huh, Lord Shizi?"

Seeing Lu Yuan coming from afar, Wu Yue was slightly stunned and hurriedly put down the drawings in his hand.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to see you."

Lu Yuan put his hands behind his back and asked with a light smile, "How is the battleship built?" The second one has been built, hasn't it? ”

"My lord, it's only been a few days since you last came to inspect?"

Wu Yue said with a wry smile, "Even if we grow three heads and six arms, it is impossible to build a second one in such a short time." ”

"Yes."

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

"If you want to be fast, you can't do it, you must ensure the quality, don't pursue speed too much."

"Yes, don't worry."

Wu Yue nodded and said with a smile, "With the experience of the first battleship, it is only a matter of time before it is rebuilt later." ”

"Moreover, we will also learn from the experience and lessons to ensure that the warships we build are better than the other, and each one is faster than the other!"

As he spoke, Wu Yue looked at the mixed river dragon on the side, with a suspicious face, "Lord Shizi, who is this ......?" ”

"My new brother is named Ni Tao, nicknamed Gouli Loach."

Lu Yuan introduced with a smile, and Mingjiang Long stretched out his hand expressionlessly, "Hello, I'm a loach." ”

"You...... Hello. ”

Wu Yue shook hands with Mingjianglong, and the smile on his face was a little embarrassed.

Loaches in the ditch? How did you come up with such a weird nickname?

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said seriously, "Master Wu, how many people do you have here now?" ”

Wu Yue thought for a moment and replied: "There are one hundred and twenty-nine officials in the Ministry of Works, and three hundred and fifteen fire workers are temporarily recruited. ”

"Yes, it's quite manpowered."

Lu Yuan nodded with a satisfied smile, and said solemnly, "In this way, you will gather everyone later and give me statistics." ”

"If anyone doesn't want to work in Liaocheng, or wants to make a fortune, all of them should register and draw up a list."

"There are fifty people in total, one is not allowed to be more, and one is not allowed to be less."

"Give you two hours, can you finish it?"

"Yes!"

Wu Yue nodded, guessing in his heart, and his face was excited.

Don't want to do it in Liaocheng......

Could it be that the prince is kind and wants to let them go back to the imperial city?

Wu Yue was extremely happy for a while, and silently calculated that the first thing to do was to write his name on the list.

However, in the next second, he was splashed down by Lu Yuan with a basin of cold water.

"By the way, except for you."

Lu Yuan said lightly, "You are a talent that is difficult to invite for a thousand dollars, you must stay here and continue to supervise the construction of warships for me." ”

"I have asked the emperor to retain your title of director of the Ministry of Works, but send someone else to take over your position."

"In addition, I also ordered your wife, children, and eight aunts and wives to be brought to Liaocheng."

"It's on the road now, and it should be another two or three days to get there."

"You don't have to go anywhere, just stay in Liaocheng honestly and build a ship for me obediently."

Watching Lu Yuan hum a song and leave happily, Wu Yue's face was full of tears.

Get!

In his own life, he can be regarded as planted in the hands of the prince.

Lu Yuan took the mixed river dragon and now walked around Liaocheng.

Immediately, he took him to see his Apocalypse.

Look at the massive battleship, and the ship's cannon firepower and fishing equipment far beyond modern technology.

Chaojiang Long was stunned for a while, and said in astonishment, "My God, Lord Shizi, you are really a god!" ”

"Unexpectedly, such a terrifying giant ship was created quietly!"

"This battleship, if it is placed in the hands of someone who is proficient in water warfare, it is ten fierce sailor warships, and they can be sunk one by one."

"If we could have this ship in the first place, why would we have been captured by that dead eunuch?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, of course.

The blueprint of this warship is from the original system reward "Sailing".

Its level of science and technology, although it cannot be compared with the high-tech aircraft carriers of the Blue Star Hyundai.

However, its performance and firepower are far superior to those of the Beiyang warships in the Westernization period.

In this era of the Lieqian Dynasty, it is equivalent to the existence of dimensionality reduction.

"Old mud, you can stay here in the future, and bring me those landlubbers."

"As long as you do things well, this warship will be yours in the future."

"Yes!"

Mingjiang Long nodded heavily, his face full of excitement.

For a man like him who is bent on conquering the sea, he may not even bother to look at it if he is rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.

However, reward him with a huge ship that can crisscross the seas.

It was enough for him to die and sacrifice his life to be loyal to him.

Lu Yuan took the mixed river dragon again and visited the second floor of the Apocalypse.

The second-floor cabin, he was also here for the first time.

When I saw the decoration inside, I couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

According to the drawings in "Navigation", the second floor is divided into two parts: left and right.

On the left side is a troop storage cabin, which can accommodate more than 10,000 infantry troops in the most limited space.

In time for a big war, if you use the Apocalypse to transport troops, you will definitely be able to kill the enemy by surprise.

On the right, there is an arsenal.

Although now, the arsenal is still empty.

But it is already possible to foresee how rapid the firepower will be in the event of a major war.

For example, a fortification for erecting machine guns, a window for throwing grenades,

There are even hundreds of portable parachutes in place to prepare for emergencies.

"Obediently, this Apocalypse is still amphibious!"

Mixed Jianglong muttered in astonishment, "Sailors are good at fighting on ships, but their skills in hand-to-hand combat are far inferior to infantry. ”

"If you encounter a strong enemy in the future and are in a desperate situation, you can use the strategy of deception."

"Then, when the enemy occupies the cabin, kill all the infantry hiding in the cabin."

"This is definitely a giant ship that can do miracles!"

The third floor of the Apocalypse is the command room and the observation module.

The cabin is equipped with a high-magnification telescope, which can see the situation up to 100 miles away, and there is no dead angle at 360 degrees.

Mixed Jianglong was completely shocked and said in admiration, "Lord Shizi, I really convince you!" ”

"Now, the Tartars in the north have been almost expelled by the emperor."

"The war in the future will inevitably be dominated by water warfare, offense and defense."

"The prince actually built such a terrifying battleship in advance."

"It shows that your foresight is far better than that of the Manchu Dynasty!"

Seeing that his ship was built so perfectly, Lu Yuan's heart was very happy.

However, he had just disembarked from the boat with the Mixed River Dragon.

It was a land-based one.

Lu Ji was wearing a short undershirt and a fast white cloth tied to his head, and he was completely dressed as a laborer.

But his eyes were still as sharp as ever, completely different from Lu Qing's teasing.

"Yo, brother."

Lu Yuan stepped forward with his fists clenched and said with a smile, "It seems that in my dock, you are quite used to it?" ”

"Oh, that's it."

Lu Ji didn't feel ashamed at all, and sneered, "This brother, it seems to be a little familiar?" ”

"Familiar? Impossible, right? ”

Lu Yuan sighed in his heart, but he didn't reveal the slightest panic.

"His name is Ni Tao, nicknamed Gouli Loach, and he is my new brother recently."

"This is also the first time to bring him to Liaocheng to help me do something."

"Loaches in the ditch?"

Lu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, looking up and down at the Mixed River Dragon.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, "Seeing that this brother is tall and heroic, why did he have such a pickled name?" ”

"The name was given by my parents, and the nickname was a friend of the rivers and lakes."

Mingjianglong was not afraid at all, and stood with his arms crossed and said lightly, "What, brother, do you think my name is rustic?" ”

"No, no, I just think that a hero like you shouldn't be called such a nickname."

Lu Yuan was worried that Lu Ji would see the clues, so he hurriedly took the initiative to change the topic.

"Brother, in my Liaocheng, are you still used to living?"

"Of course I get used to it."

Lu Ji smiled lightly, "Not only is it customary, but it is also an eye-opener." ”

"Brother Yuan, you didn't even let out a little wind, and you built such a well-armed warship without making a sound."

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Ji's words can be regarded as grabbing Lu Yuan's life.

Recruiting soldiers without permission is a heinous crime in all dynasties.

And the seriousness of building ordnance is even higher than recruitment.

If the military generals built such a warship, they would definitely be regarded as a big danger by the emperor and be held accountable.

He also relied on the identity of the prince, and he was more favored by the emperor.

Even if the emperor knew, he would turn a blind eye.

"Brother Yuan, my brother advises you, it's best to keep a low profile recently."

Lu Ji said lightly: "Now in the imperial court, all kinds of rumors continue. ”

"Especially you and me, who can be called the focus of rumors."

"If you don't know how to hide your edge, and you are still so arrogant, I'm afraid you will catch fire sooner or later."

"Thank you, brother, for reminding me."

Lu Yuan also smiled and said lightly, "But the foolish brother doesn't think so." ”

"There are rumors all day long, and if you don't listen to them, there will be no them."

"The emperor has a bright heart, and everything has his own justice."

"As a subordinate and a descendant, as long as we do our part well and have a clear conscience."

"Brother, what do you say?"

Lu Ji was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "Hahaha, that's a good point!" ”

"There is a rumor all day long, and if you don't listen to it, there will be nothing."

"Brother Yuan, today you taught my brother another lesson."

After saying that, he solemnly clenched his fists and bowed his head slightly.

Then he leaned over and picked up a hundred-pound sandbag, and turned to leave with an understatement step.

When Lu Ji walked away, Mingjiang Long said with a solemn face, "Lord Shizi, who is he?" ”

Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "The eldest son of the crown prince, the eldest grandson of the emperor, my brother, Lu Ji." ”

"It turned out to be the crown prince, no wonder the momentum is so extraordinary."

Mixed Jiang Long nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shizi, this guy is completely different from the one named Lu Qing just now. ”

"He exudes a very special temperament, a heroic spirit that only a natural leader has."

"After the future emperor dies, he is likely to become your great enemy."

"Of course I know that."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "However, I don't feel worried about this at all. ”

"Because no matter how high his land-based skills are, he is only a single figure."

"And I, on the other hand, have the help of someone like you."

"Isn't it?"

Mingjianglong didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head.

"Lord Shizi, I only know how to fight, I don't know how to deceive in the court, and I don't bother to participate in those intrigues."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been the governor of the Navy for a few years, but I don't even know the prince's two sons."

"Hahahaha, what's wrong with that?"

Lu Yuan said with a smile, "As a military general, you should concentrate on studying how to fight and how to win battles." ”

"As for the power struggle in the court, it is something that we literati should think about."

"Lord Shizi, you are not a literati."

Mingjiang Long corrected with a serious face, "It's a rare heroic hero for thousands of years!" (End of chapter)
