Seeing that all the people were in place, the person in charge, Tang Changzai, came over to ask Kong Ming for instructions on whether to start it. Kong Ming stood up, at this time, the dozen or so people in front of him had not seen Kong Ming, and they didn't know what this young man was going to do, but the people behind him were the people who Kong Ming put in, how could he not be excited, what is called a word of gold, Kong Ming's words just now are like this.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Kong Ming, and I am the commander of the Eastern Naval District. Now we are going to tender for the ships we need to build a mighty fleet, and I know that some of them have done some tricks to keep many people out, and I am very unhappy about this, knowing that if any of you can build a hundred ships in six months, I can at once make all the ships to your family. ”

"Our Huaxing shipyard can!"

"We can also do it at Hailian Shipyard!"

"We can!"

"We can!"

"We can!"

"We can!"

"We can!"

......

Looking at the bosses of more than a dozen shipyards in front of them, they were shouting happily, while the people behind them looked lost, and the smile on the empty smile was even more obvious. After they all stopped, Kong Ming continued, "My standards are very low, so low that you can't even think of them. ”

Kongming's sentence is even more fascinating.

"I want a hundred 50,000-ton battleships. ”

Everyone's eyes widened, this was a very large investment! And it was only warships, not including supply ships, and it was even more impressive if you added those other ships. At this time, no one has the confidence to complete this task, you must know that this shipbuilding is a systematic project. And the battleship has to combine many things, and there is no shipyard in the entire Huayuan Empire that can complete this task alone, but if more than a dozen shipyards are united, it can still be completed. So the dozen or so families were very happy. Nine times out of ten, these ships have fallen into their pockets. The people behind were even more depressed.

"My standard is not high, a battleship can fight against three battleships of the same level against the opponent without falling behind, if any battleship is allowed to kill a battleship of the same level directly by the enemy because of its quality, I will deal with the owner of the shipyard with military law to atone for the dead soldiers. ”

When Kong Ming said this, everyone was silent. You must know that the situation of naval warfare is really complicated, and it is impossible for those who do it not to know about it. So Kongming's requirements are too high, with one block three, how is this possible, even in a one-on-one situation. Battleships can be overturned by the enemy, let alone one-to-three? How could these bosses who cherish their lives gamble their lives on this? The large bosses of two families stood up, stiffened their faces, and said to Kong Ming: "Your Excellency, for such harsh conditions, we withdraw from this bidding. After saying that, he walked away, and then the owners of four large shipyards left the scene. Everyone's hearts are very strange, why would Kong Ming say this, isn't this a clear intention to drive away the bosses of these large shipyards?

"If there are still people who want to quit, please leave quickly. It saves me from feeling uncomfortable. Kong Ming said bluntly. There is no pity for these people, only after such people are gone, his plan will be truly implemented, and it would be wrong to say that some of them want to blackmail him with this. For the local government, many times, they will use various excuses to delay the construction period, and then use this to get more money, and in fact, no matter what they are doing, there will be a variety of different realities that affect the process of things, and these will often become excuses, and it is difficult for people in the industry to be clear. As a soldier, Kong Ming understands this, so his requirements are actually very simple, complete on time, according to quality and quantity, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. Hearing Kong Ming's words, the bosses of several other large shipyards did not move, although their momentary anger could make them breathe a sigh of relief, but in front of many competitors, even if they joined forces, it was insignificant. What's more, as a businessman, flexibility is the main thing.

Seeing that no one was leaving, Kong Ming didn't have any expression on his face. And then he said: " Okay, then according to what I just said, within six months, I need a hundred battleships, and there are a certain number of other various warships and support ships, and they will bid with you later, and I have here a design drawing of a battleship, which is a drawing full of fantasy, which contains far more opportunities than the current warships, I hope that every shipyard that accepts the tender will produce ten designers, and then send fifty old craftsmen to complete the ship from design to finalization in Marina City, and I hope that this kind of ship can be mass-produced within a year。 ”

After speaking, Kong Ming clapped his hands, so Tang Changzai took out a stack of papers from a space ring and distributed it to the hands of each shipyard owner.

"What you have in your hands is a top-secret document, which is a general introduction to this kind of ship, and we have marked each one, and only our people in the military department will know about it, so each of you will keep this thing in mind after seeing it, and then destroy it in person, don't spread it, after the bidding meeting, send someone to directly pass the guò teleportation array to Binhai City, where we have built a shipyard and wait for your personnel to arrive, immediately start to work on the manufacture of this kind of ship, remember not to spread it, before this kind of ship is born, I don't want to hear any news or rumors related to it, now start bidding。 ”

After Kong Ming finished speaking, the bosses below had not yet reacted, and Kong Ming did not record many things on the paper, just some basic numbers about the ship, such as materials and dimensions. Kong Ming just wants these people to take a look, if someone has a heart, they will prepare these things in advance, and as soon as that ship comes out, they can use the designers and shipbuilders that Kong Ming trained them to start large-scale manufacturing, and obviously Kong Ming is not very optimistic about the hundred large battleships they are going to build, but why does Kong Ming want them to make those ships stronger? It's really a puzzling thing. In fact, they did not know that these 100 battleships were bound to be built, and they were the first batch of battleships in the Eastern Naval District. And the battleship that has not yet been manufactured, Kong Ming is worried that it still has too many problems, if it is all invested in this, the risk is too great, Kong Ming can't bear it, so only a two-pronged approach is the best solution, and once that battleship is proven to be reliable, then Kong Ming will be built on a large scale, and the hundred battleships will be sold to other civilians, those who need warships, and so on. The two go hand in hand.

"Now we will conduct the bidding for this warship bidding meeting, and now we are divided into three venues to bid for various ships of different numbers required by the Eastern Naval District. The first site has 100 50,000-ton battleships, the second has 200 10,000-ton battleships, and the third has 300 supply ships of various classes. All the ships together amounted to six hundred. I believe that the basic rules are in the manual sent to everyone, and I believe everyone knows it. Now all three venues are bidding at the same time. ”

The bidding below was proceeding in an orderly manner, while Kong Ming and the five ladies sat on the ground and watched slowly.

"Husband. Why should these six hundred warships be made separately. Isn't it okay to hand them all over to those dozen or so large shipyards?" Tang Zixian asked, according to their ideas, it would save a lot of things by handing over these ships to more than a dozen large shipyards for manufacturing, so why not do this?

"Hehe, you only know one thing, but you don't know the others. If all these ships are distributed to a dozen large shipyards for manufacturing, it will certainly be easy to buy in the short term. But in the long run, there are endless consequences. Kong Ming smiled, his voice was not hidden, so some shipyard owners who were closer to Kong Ming also heard his voice. When they really wanted to ask why, some of the ladies in Kongming had already asked for them.

"Why?" Shang Muling is also a business wizard. But I really can't figure out what Kong Ming thinks.

"If all the six hundred ships are handed over to a dozen large shipyards to be manufactured now, they do not have the corresponding strength, and in order to complete the task, they will recruit more unskilled workers into the factories to catch up with the work, and every step of these new hands will make the quality of the battleship decrease, and the empire will simply provide money for them to train talents, which is not advisable, and some of them will also divide some ships to other smaller shipyards for the sake of the construction period, which will reduce the profits of the bottom shipyard, and those people will inevitably lower the standard in all aspects such as materials for profit, which also reduces the performance of the battleship。 In fact, the most important one is that if we hand over all these ships to those large shipyards to manufacture, then as long as a few years, those small shipyards will inevitably be pulled apart and eliminated regardless of scale or technology, and once those shipyards are united, we will not get a single ship, and the price of the ship will rise steadily, indirectly killing our fleet, so we must let all the shipyards make ships for us, rather than being controlled by others. This is the main thing, and it is to be expected that due to the outbreak of naval warfare, we will need more and more ships. Speaking of this, Kong Ming thought for a while and said: "Tang Chang is here, write down those masters who left the bidding, in the next five years, I don't want to see their names on the ship manufacturing of the East China Sea Fleet." ”

Kong Ming's words surprised everyone, you know, in the coming days is the time of war, the empire will continue to order ships to the major shipyards for various needs, and these orders are a lot of money, miss this time, it is more difficult for any shipyard to develop, and these shipyards may be because of their small move will make it difficult for them to turn over for a long time in the future, it is really the people do not fight with the officials. Because all the people involved in this plan have seen with their own eyes that they will not give Kong Ming, they will be the biggest customers for a period of time in the future, and they will be the future uncrowned king of the East China Sea, then they can't fill in themselves and pay for those who have offended Kong Ming. Those who heard Kongming's words were even more amazed, because Kongming not only thinks about the present, but also thinks about the future. In fact, what they don't know now is that Kong Ming is not only bidding here, but also building a huge shipyard in Marina City, because as an earl, he must have his own property, and now he is in contact with these bosses for the bidding of the empire's fleet. On the other hand, he paid attention to what kind of merchants could be contacted, so as to get his own shipyard up, and he sent those people's people to Marina City for this one thing, so to speak, both public and private.

The bidding continued, and the bosses of each shipyard got the projects they wanted according to the manufacturing capacity and level of their own shipyards, and the empire customized all the battleships needed for the first phase of the battle of the entire fleet according to Kongming's requirements, and now waited for these ships to sail to Marina City to form a team of imperial high-ranking people wanted to see. The civilians of the East China Sea want to see the army. It's exciting to think about what a spectacle it would be for six hundred large ships to sail together.

"General, all the tenders and contracts for the ships have been completed, and it is now lunchtime, and the Minister of War would like to invite you and the princess. And all the ladies went together for a light meal. Tang Chang said cautiously.

Kong Ming was about to say something, and the Minister of War had already come to the side of everyone and smiled: "Count Marina." What do you think. Let's go to dinner?"

At their level, eating is no longer a matter of filling their stomachs, but more about being able to contact each other's feelings through this kind of thing, as well as exchanging some news, in short, it is more symbolic. But obviously, Kong Ming is not good at this kind of thing. And he didn't have such a meaning, so he directly pretended to be stupid and said: "It's really nice to get the minister's invitation, but it's still a little inconvenient today." Another day, another day I'll ask you. ”

"It's a big thing that can't hold up to the stomach, and the Count still has to take out this time. "The Minister of War obviously didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and one of the few businessmen who had left had already opened up his relationship, if it wasn't for this, how could he explain it to others?

"It's really a big deal, I have to go into the palace immediately to report to His Majesty, and I have to be hungry, I hope the minister understands. Kong Ming still refused directly.

"Then we'll get together again next time!"

"Okay, we'll get together next time we have the chance. "This time Kong Ming is very refreshing, you must know that this is just a kind word, who will really take it seriously? next time, I don't know when it will be.

After leaving the military headquarters, Kong Ming's carriage drove directly to the palace, he didn't just push off this dinner just now, there was indeed something. Because he needs to report something to the emperor, and he has to ask the emperor for some things. Except for the princess who followed Kong Ming, the other women went home early.

The back garden of the Royal Palace.

It's the first time Kong Ming has entered this place, and although it's still early spring, the palace has used magic to wake up those plants early, so the back garden is already full of flowers.

"Hehe, Kongming, this is the first time you've come here, tell me something. The Emperor looked very pleased.

"Father, you didn't say anything when you saw me, just ask him what is the matter, don't you care about your daughter?" Tang Zixian pretended to be on the side.

"Haha, how is it possible, we are business first, and then private affairs. Seeing Tang Zixian's happy face, the emperor knew that she had not been wronged by Kong Ming, it was rare for her to see it so openly, which was also a good thing for his father, after all, he was also a father.

"Your Majesty, the bidding for the current battleship has been completed, and the recruitment work is still continuing. Kong Ming said seriously.

"Oh, what's the matter. The emperor looked at this wooden-like son-in-law, and really didn't know what to say, can't you let the family live a family life, it's rare for the princess to come back, so there was a hint of unhappiness in his tone. Tang Zixian couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she heard this, for fear that Kong Ming would annoy the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I want to meet the god-level powerhouses of the empire, and I need to ask them for something. Kong Ming was directly worried about the emperor's unhappiness. has a clear understanding of his current status, and his qiē is not given by the emperor in front of him, but by the god-level powerhouse behind the emperor.

"You need to wait for one, I'll talk to them first. "The emperor knew the importance that the god-level powerhouse attached to Kongming, and he immediately contacted the god-level powerhouse by covert means. After a while, the emperor raised his head and said, "Kong Ming, you go alone, go along this road all the way, someone will take you over." ”

Kong Ming saluted the emperor and walked directly along the path. Watching Kong Ming go to the depths, the emperor couldn't help sighing, for the god-level powerhouse, he was just after becoming the emperor, and the old emperor took him to recognize a door, and at other times, if they didn't take the initiative to contact him, the emperor would not have had the opportunity to meet these people at all, because they were practicing all day long, and it seemed that cultivation had become all they had. On the contrary, it is Kong Ming, not only has he seen a god-level powerhouse, but he has even slaughtered a god-level powerhouse, and now he is casually approaching a god-level powerhouse, which makes him really embarrassed!

Kong Ming didn't know the emotion in the emperor's heart, he walked straight along the path pointed by the emperor, and after a while, he saw a garden, the moment he walked into the garden, the pores of his whole body seemed to be opened, and an unprecedented fighting spirit and magic elements continued to pour into his body, so that he couldn't help but close his eyes and slowly experience, after a while, he finally adapted to the environment here, he exhaled deeply, opened his eyes, and saw a sage who looked to be in his forties in front of his eyes, thinking that this was the person who came to pick him up, the other party did not rush Kong Ming, just looked at Kong Ming with a smile。

"Sorry, there was some rudeness. Sora said apologetically.

"Whoever first entered this place was like this, so you don't need to apologize, the teacher is already waiting for you inside, please come with me. The Sage said flatly.

"Teachers like to be quiet, so if you have something to say, try to keep it short. And there are multiple gods here, so don't run around. The Sage whispered.

"Okay!" Kong Ming also whispered, following the customs of Zhang Township.

At this time, Kong Ming finally had a chance to take a look at the place where this god lived, the elements of heaven and earth here were very sufficient, at least a hundred times more than outside, and this also made this place look like it was shrouded in fog. And the plants here are all full of aura. Kong Ming couldn't help but sigh: "This is really like a fairyland!"

"Indeed, if you live here, you can more deeply appreciate the laws and rules of various elements, and it will be easier for people to achieve the position of a saint, but if you want to achieve the position of a god, you can't rely on these alone!" sighed the saint, obviously he was very familiar with this place.

"Why?" Kong Ming asked strangely, knowing that the laws and rules here are almost equivalent to being placed in front of you, and it is so difficult to become a god in such a situation, so what else can become a god?

"I don't know the specific situation, even those gods don't know what's going on. Oh, my name is Kong Hancheng. ”

"Oh, Brother Kong, this time it really disturbed you. "The age difference between the two may be hundreds of years, but in the mainland, they are usually determined by rank.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, no one will come in here for more than ten years, except for the teacher's students, even the emperor can't come in. "I think it's been a long time since I've seen a living person, and Kong Hancheng has a lot more words. Soon the two came to a thatched house. Kong Ming's eyes widened, this is the place where the gods live, how can he feel even more shabby than the place where Kong Ming lives?

"Isn't that strange?" said an old voice.

Kong Ming then looked over along the sound and saw an old man who looked to be in his sixties sitting cross-legged under a tree, if it wasn't for him to speak, Kong Ming really didn't know that there was such a person here.

"It's just a bit of a surprise. Kong Ming replied.

"Hehe, the world is in the place where the gods live is extremely luxurious, how do you know that only in such an empty place can you truly appreciate the rules of heaven and earth in this vicinity, and only in this way will you be closer to heaven and earth. The old man said slowly.

"People are old, and there are a lot of words, what are you here for?"

"Senior, I came this time for the sixteen dangerous places in the East China Sea of the Empire, I know that the reason why they became dangerous places is mostly related to god-level animals, I want to know all the detailed information of these sixteen places. (To be continued......)
