…

Liu Tong, who was in an extremely good mood, took this sum of money that was obviously given extra, and his mental state was much better.

Lu Qi, who controlled the internal qi ball, led some people to Lu Mansion and took away the calligraphy and paintings of Cai Zhonglang given by Chen Xi.

Organize and protect these precious and excellent Cai Yong calligraphy and paintings from damage, dirt, dust, rain soaking and so on.

Secure these things as much as you can, and then put them on the wagon.

Looking at the already packed carriage, Lu Qi nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's go!" Lu Qi looked at the fully prepared team, pointed in the direction of Chang'an, and said quite confidently.

As the sound fell, the team began to move gradually, heading towards the current imperial capital of Chang'an.

After confirming that there was no problem with the route, Liu Tong nodded with satisfaction, started the idle mode, and then switched roles and re-operated Lu Min.

Leaving his residence in Donglai City, Lu Min looked at the growing and prosperous city, and couldn't help but nod.

Gongsun Yu doesn't say anything else, this ability to manage the city is okay, but the main energy is not on this side, and there are still a lot of negligence and loopholes.

However, in this regard, he doesn't care much, after all, everyone has his own position, and he is in his position and seeks his own government.

What's more, the current management level shown by Gongsun Yu is actually not bad in the whole world.

It is not because he found a lot of loopholes that he denied everything about Gongsun Yu.

Lu Min walked along the street, towards the shipyard.

The normal city lord's mansion basically can't find Gongsun Yu, so you can only go to the shipyard to find it.

It's not that Gongsun Yu values the shipyard much, but the current shipyard is different from the previous shipyard.

At this time, Donglai had two shipyards, not one.

One is a shipyard manufactured by the Gongsun family, and the other is the shipyard of the Koto Lu family.

Using the same materials and drawing on their own experience, they were able to build different boats.

You know, in addition to orders for ships from the military, there are also orders for civilian ships.

The more boats you build and then sell them, the more profit you can make to invest in the development and design of your boats.

However, orders for civilian ships are full of uncertainty and are far less stable than orders for military ships.

In this case, the requirements of the civilian and military become different.

It is necessary to promote shipyards to have corresponding change capabilities and design and manufacturing capabilities.

Of course, Lu Min has always turned a blind eye to the competition between the two shipyards.

After all, competition is also a way to make rapid progress.

There is pressure when there is an opponent, and without an opponent, it is easy to stop there, sit on the crown and wait to sink.

Whether it is Gongsun Yu or Lu Jun, they actually understand this, so in terms of competition, they still maintain each other's restraint.

It's just that today, when Lu Min came to the shipyard, he just looked for Gongsun Yu and asked about something.

"Ziping!" After Lu Min came to the shipyard of Gongsun Family, he wandered around casually, saw Gongsun Yu, and reminded him directly.

Gongsun Yu, who heard the familiar voice, turned his head to look over, and after finding that it was Lu Min, he did not hesitate or delay, and came directly to Lu Min's side, and said in a low voice, "Lu Yuanzheng, I don't know what is the so-called matter when I came here today?" ”

"Ziping, the ship is so magnificent, I just don't know how it was built?" Lu Min turned his head to look directly at Gongsun Yu, pointed to the ship under construction, and asked with emotion.

Gongsun Yu smiled simply, after all, the ship that Lu Min was referring to happened to be the warship that Gan Ning ordered and the Gongsun family manufactured.

Especially when Gan Ning has already paid the money, naturally there will be no blind person to stop him.

"Back to Lu Yuanzheng, although Yuanzheng can rest assured, we will definitely be able to hand over the remaining ships to General Gan within the specified time frame!" Gongsun Yu patted his chest and said very seriously.

In the case of already having a successful manufacturing experience, coupled with the fact that so many ships have been built, the workers and craftsmen under their hands must have improved their skills.

In the subsequent manufacturing and production process, the trouble will naturally be much smaller.

When Lu Min heard this, he nodded.

In order to cope with the future situation at sea, it is absolutely impossible for the navy to have only a few dozen ships, and even no more than 10 large military ships among them.

In this case, there will also be more and more orders for subsequent naval ships, and it is not known who will eat meat and who will drink soup at that time.

Whether it is Gongsun Yu or Lu Jun, they also know this very well in their hearts.

Although the ultimate goal is different from what Taishan County thinks, at least the implementation method and process are similar.

Whether it is the Gongsun family with a first-mover advantage, or the Lu family under the leadership of Lu Jun, who fell into a frenzy.

When the next naval order appears, I am afraid it will not be like this time, calm and rainy, as if nothing had happened.

Thinking of this, even Lu Min couldn't help but shake his head.

When the Lu family built the shipyard, Liu Tong adhered to the goodwill in his heart.

informed Lu Jun that he was going to arrange to go to other places, and it was better to stay away from Donglai Port.

After all, the distance is too close, and it is very troublesome to look up and see it down, so in order to put an end to this situation, I am ready to divide the two shipyards farther away.

However, a shipyard is a shipyard after all, and it is not something that can be built wherever it wants, and he still has requirements for things such as terrain.

"By the way, is the construction idea of the two of you feasible or not?" Lu Min remembered his business and hurriedly asked.

"This..."Gongsun Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly, "Although small models have been built, it is not easy to expand them in a small way..."

Under Gongsun Yu's explanation, Liu Tong completely understood the content.

As a ship for future maritime supremacy, a steel battleship is definitely better than a wooden ship.

At least when there was no shortage of supplies, the benefits and advantages of steel warships were much higher than those of wooden ships.

Although the price will be ridiculously expensive according to the cost of this era, in fact, the real cost cannot be calculated according to the market price.

After all, the cost of many things is not as high as imagined.

After Lu Min casually inquired, he learned that both the Gongsun family and the Lu family in Jiangdong had made a small model to demonstrate the feasibility of the steel warship.
