Father can be an enemy to the country

After hearing the good news from the prince, Lao Liu couldn't hold himself back and went to Longjiang Bao Shipyard on the spot to see how much inventory there was.

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet." The prince held him back. "Do you know what's going on there? How many ships are there in the dock? How many big trees are there in the warehouse, and what year are they?"

"..." Lao Liu shook his head blankly.

"You don't even know what to go see?"

"Let's go see the big ship." Lao Liu said naively.

"You are the only one who can blind people without knowing it." The prince imparted his inspection experience: "You have to come prepared so that you can ask for the point and see the key points so that no one can fool you. you."

"Oh..." Lao Liu nodded with admiration. "As expected of a big brother!"

"Don't come here. When I get back, I will send the accounting files of Bao Shipyard to you. You can look at them all night, and then go there with my handbook tomorrow morning to inspect Bao Shipyard for me." The prince said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhu Zhen became more energetic now. Under the banner of executive deputy emperor, he was much more effective than the empty-handed prince himself.

"And I can remind you that the Bao Shipyard is under the control of the Governor-General of Jiangfang. The Governor-General Wu Liang is the brother of Marquis Jinghai." The prince said solemnly: "Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles."

"I understand, I will take a good look at it." After hearing this name, Zhu Zhen finally became serious.

The next day, Lao Liu got up early and asked Wang Ma to prepare the 'Lombokini'. After a hasty breakfast, he rushed out of the palace and rushed to the Longjiang Bao Shipyard in the northwest of the capital, at the foot of Lion Rock.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was riding on the back of an ox, looking high-spirited and high-spirited, singing a tuneless song:

"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true..."

"Your Highness is in a good mood today." Wang Ma asked with a smile.

"Yes, I have a good fortune. If I want to sleep, someone will give me a pillow. If I need a boat, my big brother will give me a boat!" Lao Liu said in high spirits.

Last night he looked at the accounts of the treasure shipyard, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the shipyard currently has two treasure ships with 4,000 materials; and 18 sea-going ships with 2,000 materials, all of which were completed three years ago. It has only been three years, and the condition of the ships should still be good.

In addition, there are several unfinished ships and countless large trees that have been drying for several years...

If you can take this shipyard as your own, your own fleet will become the strongest navy in the world!

The old troops of Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding, as well as the Japanese navy, are all insignificant in front of my invincible navy!

"Oh, hahaha..." Lao Liu was on the back of the cow, making a strange convulsive laugh. It attracted passers-by's side glances. After seeing clearly that it was the 'Panda Prince', everyone was not surprised.

~~

Half an hour later, King Chu's guard of honor came to the northwest corner from the southeast of Nanjing City. After passing through Yifeng Gate, the Bao Shipyard is in sight.

In the early years of Hongwu, Boss Zhu opened a shipbuilding factory in the open space in the northwest corner of the capital and established Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

Because the shipyard had to be built near the river, it could only be located outside the city. In order to protect the shipyard and the expensive warships in the shipyard, the Treasure Shipyard was built into a well-defended city. Originally there were troops stationed there.

But now that the world is at peace, the capital is no longer threatened by bandits. After the emperor canceled the attack on Japan, the status of the treasure shipyard was greatly reduced. The imperial court also withdrew the garrison, and the shipyard's promotion department was responsible for security matters.

Several elderly boat owners were guarding the door of the shipyard. They were all dumbfounded when they saw the King of Chu's arrogant ceremony.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go and report it quickly?" Wang Defa said in a long voice, annoyed. "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has arrived! Let you officials come out to pick him up as soon as possible!"

"Hey..." The little leader hurriedly pissed himself off.

After a while, the middle door of the shipyard opened wide, and a fat-headed and big-eared official in blue robe, surrounded by a group of green-robed junior officials, came out in a panic.

When he saw that it was really a prince's guard of honor, the fat man was so frightened that his cheeks trembled. He quickly led the crowd to kneel down and salute as expected. He even said that he had missed the mark and asked for your forgiveness.

"Get up, are you the boss here?" Lao Liu puffed out his chest and belly, looking at people with his belly button.

"Yes, the villain is Yang Wei, the promotion manager of Bao Shipyard." The fat man's name was quite impressive. "I wonder why your highness is here?"

"I came to the shipyard to inspect the shipyard in the name of the prince." Zhu Zhen said arrogantly.

"Huh? I didn't hear the meeting from the summit, and I didn't see the documents arranging the inspection..." Yang Tiju was almost frightened and stopped moving.

"Can I still trick you?" Zhu Zhen raised his chin angrily, and Wang Ma showed the prince's handwriting.

"Ah? This..." Yang Tiju held the oracle with the bright red seal in his hands like a hot potato. "So sudden?"

"What? I have to ask you for permission before I inspect the shipyard?" Lao Liu said with a arrogant face: "Do you understand the surprise inspection? The main thing is suddenness!"

"Yes, it's just that the shipyard hasn't been cleaned yet, and the construction site is messy. I'm afraid it will stain His Highness's eyes." Yang Wei explained while wiping his sweat.

"I just want to see the truth before I can go back and tell His Highness the truth truthfully!" Zhu Zhen said with a serious face: "Is there something evil inside?!"

"No, no..." Yang Ti raised his head and shook it like a rattle: "Absolutely not!"

"Then why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"

"Hey." Yang Wei had no choice but to turn sideways and respectfully invite His Highness to enter.

~~

As soon as I entered the Bao Shipyard, I was faced with a row of government offices.

Yang Wei introduced to His Highness that this is the shipyard's lifting department, the help command hall, the accounting room, the cabinet warehouse and other government offices.

Zhu Zhen had no interest in these government offices. He just asked his eldest cousin to lead people to guard the accounting room and the cabinet while he went straight to the backyard.

The backyard is equipped with seven workshops including joinery workshop, paint workshop, twisting workshop, iron workshop, canopy workshop, cable workshop, cable workshop and a material shop. It is the production workshop of the shipyard.

The scale of the production workshop is astonishing. Among them, the canopy factory located in the northeast of the factory area alone has ten rows and sixty houses.

Zhu Zhen was stunned by the sight, so he skipped this step and asked Fatty Yang: "Where are the big logs for shipbuilding stored?"

"Go back to the timber warehouse, Your Highness. However, the timber warehouse is not here, but is located in the northwest corner of the shipyard. It has the best ventilation and is close to the working pond." Yang Tiju said hurriedly.

"Then first go to Zuotang to take a look at the boat, and then go to the lumber warehouse to take a look." King Chu ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness, please come this way." Yang Wei led King Chu and his entourage through the production workshop to Zuotang District.

Zuotang is a shipbuilding dock, connected to the Yangtze River water system, separated by a gate in the middle. When the craftsmen were building the ship, the gate was lowered and the pond was dry. After the ship is built, the gate is raised, the pond is filled with water, and the ship can sail directly into the Yangtze River.

Zhu Zhen saw that there were eight such ponds in Bao Shipyard, each of which was more than a hundred feet long and ten feet wide. Yang Wei told him that each pond can build three large ships at the same time, and the entire shipyard can start building 24 ships at the same time!

"Wow, that's amazing..." Zhu Zhen was full of praise while counting the completed ships in the dock.

"One, two, three...nine, ten." After counting to ten, he couldn't count anymore.

Count again, still ten ships. Zhu Zhen pointed to the pond in front of him and asked Fatty Yang: "Are all the built boats here?"

"Ah, there is no place for such a big ship." Fatty Yang nodded without knowing why.

"Get him!" Lao Liu shouted loudly, turning his face faster than flipping a book.

The guards rushed forward and pushed Yang Wei to the ground.
