On this side, Zheng Shipang was planning against Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui, but on the other side, Du Yangui returned to the county government with a sad face.

It's just that as soon as he stepped into the county office, he saw two people sitting in the government office, these two people looked a little anxious, and when they saw Du Yangui walking into it, they quickly stood up and complained, "Oops." Du Zhizhou, the two of us waited for a long time, but we finally waited for you. ”

"It turned out to be Huang Hao and Huang Gao, what is the matter with you two looking for me?" Du Yangui was a little surprised.

Du Yangui was not surprised by the two people in front of him, because these two were the two brothers Huang Hao and Huang Gao, the inventors of the first steel shipbuilding, and in order to express their respect for the two, the two warships that the Junzhou Navy Division took the lead in equipping were named after them.

Huang Hao complained: "Alas. Don't you know, not long ago, the Ministry of Defense approached us, saying that it was going to order warships from our Junzhou shipyard. ”

"Oh, isn't that a good thing?" said Du Yangui with a smile.

The Junju shipyard was created by two people to develop ironclad ships, and it is currently the largest shipyard in Junzhou, employing more than 1,000 people. The warships of the Junju Naval Division were also ordered from the Junju Shipyard.

"Of course it's a good thing to make money. But this time was different. Huang Gao shook his head in annoyance.

Du Yangui was puzzled and asked, "Oh? What's wrong with this?"

As the newly appointed governor, Du Yangui is quite aware of the importance of the Junzhou Shipyard, and now all the actions of the Huaxia Army depend on the Junzhou Naval Army, and if the scale of the Junzhou Naval Army is to be maintained, the Junzhou Shipyard is indispensable.

"Three years. In three years, if we want to build 300 Chijiao-class ironclad ships, do you think it is possible?" Huang Hao's face was embarrassed, and his eyebrows were full of difficulties.

The Chijiao-class ironclad ship in his mouth is the model name of the Huang Hao ironclad ship in the Huaxia Army, with a carrying capacity of 1,000 materials, equipped with two 2.4-foot caliber capsule guns, thanks to the use of advanced steam turbines, the number of combat personnel required has been greatly reduced, and only 30 people are needed to operate.

"Three hundred ships in three years?" So, you need a hundred warships a year?" Du Yangui was a little speechless, you must know that even the Junzhou Navy only has thirty warships, if it is built at this rate, it will be necessary to build three Junzhou Navy in a year.

Huang Hao nodded, and replied with distress: "That's right." However, our Junzhou shipyard is not manpowered, at most ten ironclad ships a year, and a hundred a year is too much. ”

"Don't have enough people, so you didn't try to recruit them?" asked Du Yangui.

Huang Gao shook his head and replied helplessly: "We tried, but no one." There are too few people in Junzhou, and even if they are recruited from Chang'an, there are not enough young adults. ”

Du Yangui was a little surprised, and opened his mouth to ask, "Not enough?" What is the shortfall? If so, maybe I can help you solve a little." At this moment, he was a little nervous, according to the Chang'an Association to place such a big order, he must have been aware of the turmoil in the whole of China, maybe the war he faced this time will not be limited to Guannai, but will continue to the wider world.

Otherwise, Chang'an would not have made such a decision.

"At least ten thousand. Without more than 10,000 men, it would not have been possible to build so many warships. Huang Gao replied.

Du Yangui was dumbfounded, and his eyes were also wide open: "So much?"

Before, Du Yangui also planned to mobilize his former friends to see if they could help draw some craftsmen, but the gap was so big that even he couldn't do anything.

"Yes. Otherwise, we simply won't be able to meet the requirements for building ships. ”

Huang Hao nodded solemnly, otherwise he wouldn't have come here.

Du Yangui showed an embarrassed look, and his words did not have the confidence he had before: "This, you are asking for too many people, I am afraid that I will not be able to find enough people for a while." ”

"Well, I understand this, after all, the situation is so tense now, and there is a need for manpower everywhere. How is it possible to suddenly add so many people, and they also require skilled craftsmen?" Huang Hao was also annoyed, he also wanted to win such a huge order, for Junzhou Shipyard, this can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But now they are constrained by manpower problems, and they are unable to meet the requirements of the Huaxia Army.

Du Yangui's brows furrowed, and then said: "The problem of manpower is put on hold for the time being, and I will naturally find a way to solve it after a while." But do you have any other requirements?"

"Absolutely. In order to meet this order, the two of us plan to expand the Junzhou shipyard to meet the requirements of the army. Regarding the matter of the land, I don't know if you can approve it?" Huang Gao took out an order and sent it to Du Yangui.

As for the expansion of this shipyard, the two of them had planned for a long time, so that after the order was placed, it could be taken out quickly.

Du Yangui took it, glanced at it, and then closed his head and replied: "Don't worry about this, I will approve the land after a while." Also, if there is any need, just tell me, as long as it can be satisfied, I can meet it. ”

Junzhou is the main road into the territory of the Song Dynasty, if Chang'an plans to go south to compete with the Yuan army, it must start from Junzhou, otherwise why spend energy to build the Changjun Railway ten years ago?

"Then I'll leave everything to Du Zhizhou. ”

Huang Hao and Huang Gao saw that their goal was achieved, so they bowed to Du Yangui together, and then left.

After the two left, Du Yangui sat on the chair, thinking about what the two of them had asked for, and felt a headache: "At this time, where can I find so many people?"

Shipyards don't need anything else, they need skilled craftsmen, and it's not just a matter of picking a single person.

Such harsh conditions are really a headache.

Du Yangui thought about all this, and his fingers tapped his head one by one, trying to figure out a solution from his brain, but he couldn't solve anything except to annoy himself.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the county office.

Du Yangui suddenly felt annoyed, stood up from his seat, and asked the official next to him, "What's going on, why is it so noisy outside?"

"Qiyu Zhizhou, a homeless person from Xiangyang!"

When even a servant came up, he replied apologetically.

"Wanderers, how did they get here?"

Du Yangui felt irritated, he had always been full of disgust with these displaced people who would disturb the social order, so he even legislated to isolate these displaced people outside the city, so as to prevent them from breaking into the state and ruining the order here.

The official was frightened, and replied with a trembling body: "This, this subordinate doesn't know either. ”

"Good. I want to see what this outcast is capable of, and how dare to make trouble here. Du Yangui was furious in his heart, and immediately lined up everyone to walk out of the county office, intending to see who the person who dared to trespass on the county government was.
