Chapter 543 Erha's Yangtze River

"It seems that it is very similar, you are really powerful, this kind of large warship, it is said to be built!" Lu Min looked at Gongsun Yu and said with emotion, "Has this money been paid by Gan Xingba?" ”

When Gongsun Yu heard this, the whole person lost his smile, became silent, and looked at Lu Min with some embarrassment.

"Looks like you haven't paid yet, it's amazing." Lu Min looked at the warship that had been built, and he didn't know what to say.

"At present, although the weapons on the ship have been installed in place, the arrows in reserve have not yet been ordered, and this is not a little bit of money..."Gongsun Yu said with some embarrassment.

If it weren't for Gan Ning's large number of orders for fishing boats and made a lot of money, how could he not even have a deposit, and then take the order for Gan Ning to manufacture large warships?

Although there is also a large part of the reason, it is that they received ship drawings from the government department, providing more creativity and experience.

More fixtures were installed for the boat, the center of gravity was lowered, the defense was increased, the keel was structurally increased, and much more.

"Such a large ship has been built, and you still lack money to order crossbow arrows?" Lu Min looked at Gongsun Yu in disbelief, how much can you cost with some crossbow arrows?

"The number and types of crossbow arrows needed are a bit large, so the money needed is more..."Gongsun Yu said with some embarrassment, "According to preliminary estimates, it will be about fifty million yuan." ”

After Lu Min heard this, the whole person stopped and looked at Gongsun Yu with suspicion.

"Fifty million dollars? How many bolts are you going to buy? The value of the crossbow arrow flashed in Lu Min's mind, even if it was sold at the transaction price with Gongsun Zhan, the amount was extremely terrifying.

Even if this ship has more crossbows on it, it won't consume this amount of money.

"The main reason is that there are some special crossbow arrows, which are too expensive, which is why they are so expensive." Gongsun Yu softened his tone and said as calmly as possible.

After Lu Min heard this, he was a little silent, and the special crossbow arrows with high value could only be some crossbow arrows that were difficult to make, or could be called taboo.

That kind of special crossbow bolt is quite expensive to make, and naturally the price is also very expensive.

Even local tyrants such as Gongsun Zan maintain a respectful attitude towards those special crossbow arrows, because they are too expensive.

"With the financial resources of the Gongsun family, it won't be short of 50 million, right?" Lu Min asked Gongsun Yu with some doubts.

The Gongsun family, which has been shipbuilding for so many years, how can it be short of such a little money?

Not to mention 50 million, even if it is 500 million, it is not a big problem.

"The main thing is that we received an order, not one ship, but a whole eight!" Gongsun Yu sighed and said quite calmly.

"So are you guys already ready for all the materials?" Lu Min was speechless, did he do this through his head?

Gan Ning's order under Erha, he didn't get the money, and they dared to take it?

Although he will definitely give, and even give enough, but should he be so reckless?

Directly put together all the materials of the eight ships at once, should it be said that it is worthy of the Gongsun family?

Gongsun Yu nodded, his eyes were full of hope, and he looked at Lu Min sincerely.

"Okay, I will report this matter truthfully and hand it over to the Fenggao Government Affairs Department for them to help deal with it." Lu Min sighed, the accident didn't happen, there were a lot of troubles.

I don't know where Gan Ning went, did he get the money in place?

Eight warships, plus the cost of crossbow arrows, this is almost 200 million, when you placed this order, did you use your brains?

Didn't you go to the Yangtze River to recruit people? According to the distance and time, it is time to come back, is this delayed by something?

"Then trouble Lu Yuanzheng, with Lu Yuanzheng's help, this matter will definitely be caught, and we can build follow-up ships." Gongsun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Lu Min a grand reception.

Compared with Lu Min, who was too troublesome, he had to do it.

Ganning's journey to the Yangtze River is full of twists and turns.

Adhering to the situation that someone was stationed, Gan Ning was naturally relieved and hurried forward to recruit people with interest.

directly called Tai Shi Ci, and took away the elite of Tai Shi Ci's headquarters, and handed over the entire Donglai Port directly to Chen Dao.

From Donglai Harbor all the way south along the coastline to the mouth of the Yangtze River.

After a simple measurement of the water level of the Yangtze River, Gan Ning gave up the idea of entering the Yangtze River with large fishing boats.

After all, many of the sailors he wants to recruit are places that big ships can't go.

Luckily, he brought his own small warship with him.

Adhering to his familiarity with the Yangtze River, Gan Ning directly regarded the Yangtze River as his own territory, gave full play to the characteristics of the master, and strongly invited Tai Shici.

Tai Shici's trust in Gan Ning was also quite high, and without thinking about it, he left his army on a large fishing boat, and followed Gan Ning alone and went up the Yangtze River.

Gan Ning also hurriedly took out the bell that used to be a brocade thief, as if the former brocade thief had returned.

The best way to recruit these pirates is to become a water thief, join the water thief, and finally surpass the water thief, become a sailor, and then transform into a navy.

In this regard, Gan Ning has done quite well.

All the way up the Yangtze River, relying on the familiarity with the Yangtze River, as well as its own force, the deterrent power brought by the Jinfan bell, and the generous welfare treatment, a large number of water thieves were subdued.

The various behaviors and smoothness on the road made Gan Ning show off well in front of Tai Shici, as if he was destined to return.

Not only did they recruit men, but they also brought the ships of the pirates under their command.

Although they look down on these ships, they can still carry people, at least walking on the Yangtze River, there is no problem.

As the reputation spreads more and more widely, it is easier and easier for Ganning to recruit people, and the fleet he has is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of people is also increasing.

Gan Ning, who recruited people very smoothly all the way, successfully bumped into Sun Ce, who also recruited people very smoothly.

Sun Ce himself didn't have any idea of recruiting people, but he couldn't stand leading troops out of Yuzhou and preparing to attack Yangzhou.

The situation encountered on the road was completely beyond the expectations of Sun Ce's command.

Everywhere they passed, there were those who surrendered, and the talents they recruited bowed their heads.

There were even a large number of righteous soldiers who raised troops to join and expand Sun Ce's troops.

There were more than 4,000 people when they first came out, and when they arrived at the Yangtze River, there were already nearly 10,000 people.

There are not a few Wenchen generals, and there is already the atmosphere of a prince.

Sun Ce also has his own methods for treating the civil ministers and military generals under his command, so that the civil and military complement each other.

Even when Zhou Yu saw everything he encountered on the road, he looked at Sun Ce with curious eyes, a little incredulous.
