Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

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

Upon seeing this, Hun Jianglong slowly loosened his clenched fists, with the same strange expression.

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

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

"I thought my father knew that I was a county magistrate in Liaocheng and sent him to take me back."

"Unexpectedly, after the boy came, he asked me where the dock was without saying a word."

"I pressed and asked again and again, and he finally told me."

"I bet he lost his riding skills to you, brother, and was sent to Liaocheng to work as a coolie!"

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

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

"That Lu Ji bullied my brother so badly, I have long wanted to punish him for my brother."

As he said that, Lu Yuan did not forget to remind him, "But brother, don't get too carried away."

"Although he Luji lost to me, he only had to work hard at the dock for a month."

"A month later, he is still the most glorious grandson of the crown prince of Liegan."

"You must seize the time and grow up quickly in Liaocheng. You must not neglect it."

"Hey, brother, don't worry, brother knows what he knows!"

Lu Qing said no more and continued to lie on the ground with his butt stuck out, concentrating on studying the two withered grasses.

Lu Yuan had a look of disgust on his face, ignored his embarrassing brother, and pulled Hun Jianglong away.

"Master, who is that guy?"

Hun Jianglong asked curiously, "Why does he call you brother and you call him brother."

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

"No."

Lu Yuan shook his head and said firmly, "We are brothers to the outside world, but we don't know each other internally."

Immediately, he took Hun Jianglong and headed straight to the dock port.

It was dawn at this moment, and the sky was not completely bright yet.

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

After all, the prince had previously given them a target to build ten battleships.

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

One team works during the day and the other team works at night, working day and night.

"Hey, Prince?"

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

"Why are you here?"

"I came here specifically to see you."

Lu Yuan put his hands behind his back and asked with a faint smile, "How is the battleship going? Has the second one been built?"

"My eldest son, how many days have you been gone since your last inspection?"

Wu Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Even if we grow three heads and six arms, we still can't build a second ship in such a short period of time."

"Too."

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "It's okay, don't be in a hurry."

"Haste makes waste in everything. You must ensure quality and don't pursue speed too much."

"Yes, Prince, 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 we build another one."

"Moreover, we will learn from experience and lessons to ensure that the warships we build will be better and faster than the last!"

As he said that, Wu Yue looked at Hun Jianglong on the side with a suspicious look on his face, "Master, is this...?"

"The new brother I have recently made is named Ni Tao, nicknamed Guoli Loach."

Lu Yuan introduced with a smile, and Hun Jianglong stretched out his hand expressionlessly, "Hello, I'm Ni Loach."

"You... hello."

Wu Yue shook hands with Hun Jianglong, with an awkward smile on his face.

Loach in the ditch?Why did you get such a weird nickname?
"Okay, that's not important."

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

Wu Yue thought for a while and replied: "There are 120 officials in the Ministry of Industry, and there are 310 pyrotechnics temporarily recruited."

"Not bad, there are plenty of people."

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

"Anyone who doesn't want to work in Liaocheng or wants to make a fortune should register and draw up a list."

"There are 50 people in total. No one is allowed to be more and no one is less."

"I'll give you two hours, can you finish it?"

"can!"

Wu Yue nodded, with some speculation in his mind and excitement on his face.

I don’t want to do it in Liaocheng…

Could it be that the prince is showing mercy and wants to let them return to the imperial city?

Wu Yue was extremely happy for a moment and silently calculated that he would be the first to write his name on the list.

However, the next second, Lu Yuan poured cold water on him.

"Except you, by the way."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "You are a talent that is hard to find even with a lot of money. You must stay here and continue to supervise the construction of battleships for me."

"I have asked your Majesty to retain your title and salary as the head of the Ministry of Industry, but send someone else to take over your duties."

"In addition, I also ordered your wife, children, children, and eight concubines to be sent to Liaocheng."

"It's on the way now. It should arrive in two or three days."

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

Seeing Lu Yuan humming a song and leaving happily, Wu Yue's face was full of tears.

Got it!
In this life, I have fallen into the hands of the prince.

Lu Yuan took Hun Jianglong around Liaocheng.

Immediately, he took him to see his ship Apocalypse.

Looking at the huge battleship, as well as the cannon firepower and fishing equipment on the battleship that far exceed the current technology.

Hun Jianglong was stunned for a while and said in astonishment, "Oh my God, Master, you are really amazing!"

"Such a terrifying giant ship was built silently!"

"If this warship is placed in the hands of someone who is proficient in water warfare, even ten Liegan naval warships can be sunk one by one."

"If we could have had 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 came from the "Voyage" that was originally awarded by the system.

Although its technological level cannot be compared with Blue Star's modern high-tech aircraft carriers.

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

In this era of Liegan Dynasty, it was equivalent to a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Lao Ni, you will stay here from now on and take care of those landlubbers for me."

"As long as you do your job properly, this warship will be yours from now on."

"As ordered!"

Hun Jianglong nodded heavily, his face full of excitement.

For a man like him who is dedicated to conquering the sea, he may not even bother to look at the reward of ten thousand taels of gold.

However, he was given a huge ship that could navigate the sea.

It was enough to make him loyal to him wholeheartedly and risk his life.

Lu Yuan took Hun Jianglong again to visit the second floor of Tianqi.It was also his first time to visit the second-floor cabin.

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

According to the drawing design in "Voyage", the second floor is divided into left and right parts.

On the left is a troop storage compartment, which can accommodate more than [-] infantry troops in the most limited space.

In the event of a major war, if the Apocalypse is used to transport troops, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard.

On the right side is an arsenal.

Although now, the arsenal is still empty.

But it can already be foreseen how fierce the firepower will be once a war breaks out.

For example, fortifications for setting up machine guns, windows for throwing grenades,
In addition, there are even hundreds of portable parachutes available to prepare for emergencies.

"My dear, this Apocalypse is still amphibious!"

Hun Jianglong murmured in astonishment, "Sailors are good at fighting on ships, but their ability in close combat is far inferior to that of infantry."

"If you encounter a strong enemy in the future and are in a desperate situation, you can definitely use the tactic of pretending to surrender."

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

"This is definitely a giant ship capable of performing miracles!"

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

The cabin is equipped with a high-magnification telescope, which can see the situation up to a hundred miles away, and there is no blind spot in 360 degrees.

Hun Jianglong was completely shocked and said with admiration, "Master, I really admire you!"

"Today, the emperor has almost driven out the Tartars in the north."

"Future wars will inevitably focus on water warfare for offense and defense."

"The Crown Prince actually built such a terrifying battleship in advance."

"It shows that your foresight is far better than that of the Duke of Manchuria!"

Seeing that his boat was so perfectly built, Lu Yuan was very happy.

However, he just got off the boat with Hun Jianglong.

They met Lu Ji head-on.

Lu Ji was wearing a short undershirt and a white cloth tied on his head. He looked like a laborer.

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

"Yo, brother."

Lu Yuan clasped his fists and walked forward, smiling and saying, "It seems you are quite used to working at my dock?"

"Oh, that's right."

Lu Ji didn't feel ashamed at all, and sneered, "This brother, does he look familiar?"

"Looks familiar? Impossible, right?"

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any panic.

"His name is Ni Tao, nicknamed Guuli Nigui. He is a new brother I met recently."

"This is also the first time I have brought him to Liaocheng to help me with something."

"Loach in the ditch?"

Lu Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Hun Jianglong up and down.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Look at this brother's tall and straight figure and his heroic face. Why did he get such a shameful name?"

"The name was given by my parents, and the nickname was given by my friends in the world."

Hun Jianglong was not afraid at all, he stood with his arms folded and said calmly, "Why, 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 changed the topic.

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

"Of course I'm used to it."

Lu Ji smiled lightly and said, "Not only am I used to it, but it's also an eye-opener."

"Brother Yuan, you built such a battleship with sophisticated firearms without even making a sound."

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Ji's words can be regarded as grasping Lu Yuan's fate.

Recruiting soldiers privately has been a heinous crime in all dynasties.

The seriousness of building ordnance is even higher than recruiting soldiers.

If a military general builds such a warship, he will definitely be regarded as a serious problem by the emperor and he will be taken away from his position and held accountable.

He relied on his status as the prince, and he was relatively favored by the emperor.

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

"Brother Yuan, I would like to advise you to keep a low profile these days."

Lu Ji said calmly: "Nowadays, there are all kinds of rumors in the imperial court."

"Especially you and me, we are the focus of rumors."

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

"Thanks for the reminder, brother."

Lu Yuan also smiled and said calmly, "But Yudi doesn't think so."

"There are rumors all the time, and if you don't listen, there will be nothing."

"Your Majesty has a clear mind and has his own justice in everything."

"As ministers and descendants, we only need to do our part and have a clear conscience."

"Brother, what do you think?"

Lu Ji was startled for a moment and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh: "Hahaha, good point!"

"There are rumors all the time. If you don't listen, there will be no rumors."

"Brother Yuan, you taught me another lesson today."

After saying that, he solemnly clasped his fists and nodded slightly.

Then he leaned over and picked up a sandbag weighing a hundred pounds, and turned around and left with an understatement.

When Lu Ji walked away, Hun Jianglong said with a solemn expression, "Master, who is he?"

Lu Yuan shrugged and said, "The eldest son of the Crown Prince, the eldest grandson of the current emperor, my brother, Lu Ji."

"It turns out he is the crown prince, no wonder he has such extraordinary aura."

Hun Jianglong nodded thoughtfully and said in a deep voice: "Master 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 possesses."

"When the future emperor dies, he will most likely become your enemy."

"Of course I know that."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "However, I am not worried about this at all."

"Because no matter how talented Lu Ji is, he is still alone."

"And I have the help of a talent like you."

"Isn't it?"

Hun Jianglong didn't say much, just smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I only know how to fight. I don't understand the intrigues in the court, and I am too lazy to participate in those intrigues."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been the naval governor for several years and not even recognize the prince's two sons."

"Hahahaha, what's wrong with this?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "As a military general, you should concentrate on studying how to fight and how to win the war."

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

"My lord, you are not a scholar."

Hun Jianglong corrected him with a serious face, "He is a rare hero in a thousand years!" (End of this chapter)
