Chapter 731 Arguments
...

Liu Tong, who was in an extremely good mood, felt much better with this obviously extra money.

Controlling the inner energy dumpling Lu Qi, he led some men to the Lu Mansion and took away the calligraphy and paintings of Cai Zhonglang given by Chen Xi.

Organize and protect these precious and excellent calligraphy and paintings of Cai Yong to prevent them from being damaged, dirty, dusty, soaked by rain, etc.

Protect these items as much as possible and then place them on the carriage.

Looking at the 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 confidently.

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

After confirming that there was no problem with the route, Liu Tong nodded with satisfaction, started the idle mode, then switched characters and started controlling Lu Min again.

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

Apart from anything else, Gongsun Yu's ability to manage the city was not bad, but his main focus was not on this side, and there were still many oversights and loopholes.

But in this aspect, he doesn't care much. After all, everyone has his own position, and he pursues his own affairs in his own position.

What's more, the management level currently displayed by Gongsun Yu is actually not bad when compared to the whole world.

Just because he found many loopholes does not negate everything about Gongsun Yu.

Lu Min walked along the street and headed towards the shipyard.

Basically, you can't find Gongsun Yu in a normal city lord's palace, so you can only go to the shipyard to find him.

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

At this time, there were two shipyards in Dongnai, not one.

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

Both sides use the same materials and rely on their own experience to create different ships.

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

The more ships are manufactured and then sold, the more profits can be made and invested in the research and development and design of ships.

However, private ship orders are full of uncertainty and are far less stable than military ship orders.

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

We have 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 only when there are opponents. Without opponents, it is easy to stop here and sit on the crown waiting to perish.

Both Gongsun Yu and Lu Jun actually understand this, so they still maintain restraint against each other in terms of competition.

But today, Lu Min came to the shipyard just to find Gongsun Yu and ask some questions.

"Ziping!" After Lu Min came to Gongsun's shipyard, he strolled around for a while, then saw Gongsun Yu, and reminded him directly.Gongsun Yu, who heard the familiar voice, turned around and looked over. When he found out it was Lu Min, he came directly to Lu Min's side without hesitation or delay, and whispered, "Lu Yuanzheng, I didn't know you were here today. What's the matter?"

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

Gongsun Yu simply smiled. After all, the ship Lu Min was referring to happened to be the warship that Gan Ning placed the order for and the Gongsun family built.

Especially when Gan Ning had already paid the money, naturally there would be no blind people to stop him.

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

Having already had successful manufacturing experience, coupled with the fact that so many ships have been manufactured, the skills of the workers and craftsmen under his command must have also been improved.

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

Lu Min nodded after hearing this.

In order to cope with future ocean conditions, it is absolutely impossible for the navy to have only a few dozen ships, and there may even be no more than ten large military ships among them.

Under this circumstance, there will be more and more orders for naval ships in the future. It will be unclear who will eat the meat and who will drink the soup.

Both Gongsun Yu and Lu Jun understood this in their hearts.

Although the ultimate goal is different from what Taishan County had in mind, at least the implementation methods and processes are similar.

Whether it is the Gongsun family, which has the first-mover advantage, or the Lu family, which has fallen into fanaticism under the leadership of Lu Jun.

When the next naval order appears, I'm afraid it won't be like this time. The weather is calm, the rain has passed, and the sky has cleared up, as if nothing had happened.

When he thought of this, even Lu Min couldn't help but shake his head.

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

After informing Lu Jun, he was originally planning to arrange it somewhere else, preferably farther away from Donglai Port.

After all, the distance was too close, and it would be troublesome to see them both when looking up and when looking down. Therefore, in order to prevent this situation, we planned to separate the two shipyards further apart.

However, a shipyard is a shipyard after all, and it cannot be built wherever it wants. It still has requirements for things like terrain.

"By the way, is the construction idea of ​​your two families feasible or not?" Lu Min then remembered his business and asked quickly.

"This..." Gongsun Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly, "Although we have made small models, it is not easy to expand them from small ones..."

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

As ships competing for maritime hegemony in the future, steel battleships are definitely better than wooden ships.

At least when there is no shortage of supplies, the benefits and advantages of steel battleships are far higher than those of wooden ships.

Although according to the cost of this era, the price will be ridiculously expensive, but 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 making casual inquiries, Lu Min learned that both the Gongsun family and the Lu family in Jiangdong had made a small model to demonstrate the feasibility of steel battleships.
