"Well, I can't be anxious. As long as I make a plan and follow the plan, I can always train an invincible East China Sea fleet."

"Yes, the king."

"Is the harassment of sea beasts along the East China Sea still serious? This problem must be solved first and people cannot live in an unsafe environment." Xu Boju reminded.

"Please rest assured, this matter has been done since the end of the last war. It is effective at present, and not all sea beasts have no IQ. After these two months of attack, I dare not go ashore in a short period of time. Even those who go ashore are still some little Luo Luo, who are also providing supplies to our soldiers. The soldiers in the army praised the taste of sea beasts." Zhang Qing replied with a smile.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

"Then I will feel relieved. I will never allow a man to be eaten by a sea beast. This is the bottom line. So, I decided to form an additional Marine Corps and the Coast Frontier Defense Forces based on the East China Sea Navy. In this way, the general will return to the military headquarters to prepare a plan as soon as possible." Xu Boju suddenly thought.

"Yes, lord, I will come up with a plan as soon as possible." Zhang Qing said excitedly, this is a good thing.

"There is also the matter of warships. Your military headquarters needs to send people to Bohai City in Chen State to purchase. Don't be afraid of spending money. As long as you can buy it, buy it for me, and hire a shipbuilder with high salaries." Xu Boju had to form an East China Sea Fleet at any cost.

After all, the coastline of the Han Kingdom is very long now, and it is definitely not possible without a powerful navy of its own.

And if you remember correctly, the Reincarnation Valley on the Seven Star Islands in the East China Sea seems to have some ideas about the Han Kingdom, so you have to be careful.

There are many trivial matters later, except for two hours, which are all accumulated over this period of time. In fact, each department collectively reports to Xu Boju the work content, results, and future plans planned by each department during this period.

Xu Boju judged based on his own experience whether it was correct. As long as the general direction was correct, some small flaws would be pointed out on the spot, or other officials would also propose them and come up with a response plan. That's it.

In the next one or two years, Xu Boju should be very relaxed, because he just needs to follow the established plan. He listens to the report every month to see if there are any problems. He can accompany Li Qingman in the remaining time, and practice.

After all, it is a world of cultivation, and sometimes cultivation determines everything.

Three months later, in August of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty officially sold liquor, perfume and soap to the outside world. For a time, Luoyang paper was expensive and sold well in many countries, and the supply was in short supply. Even if the Han Dynasty had inventory and worked overtime to produce, it was still subject to raw materials and could not meet the market demand.

This led to the emergence of products such as scalpers, which were resold at high prices, spreading these three new products to areas further away from the Great Han Kingdom, earning fame and money for the Great Han Kingdom.

Half a year later, on November 20, 20, the fifth year of the Han Dynasty, the first second-level shipyard in the Han Dynasty was completed on the southwest peninsula of Qinglongling. This large shipyard with an area of ​​nearly five square kilometers has the ability to produce various models of ordinary-level ships, and also has the ability to produce and manufacture first-level and second-level ships, especially merchant ships, which have certain defense and attack capabilities.

Moreover, other ships can also be converted into a warship.

Xu Boju decided to build the first second-level shipyard in Shenyue Lake. The purpose was self-evident. It was to target the entire Shenyue Lake, trade, and even expansion, and give priority to the needs of the local people of the Han Dynasty. Any excess will be sold to the outside world.

In the countries of Shenyue Lake, there are generally ordinary class ships, with very few first-level ships, and the second-level is the place of myth. I think it will definitely be very popular and can be sold at high prices.

As for the shipbuilding masters and craftsmen, Tianfangguo itself has a second-level shipbuilding yard, ready-made craftsmen and craftsmen, and also the apprentices who hired from the southern countries and even from the Bohai City of Chen Kingdom. Finally, they established a Naval Academy and the Donghai Shipbuilding Academy, and came out of the crash course.

It is worth mentioning here that those who went to purchase warships from Bohai City have returned with the first batch of warships. Subsequent orders for warships have been placed and are under construction and will be driven back one after another within the next year.

Currently, there are 16 first-level warships coming back, of which 11 are second-hand, which are cheap and cost-effective for the Han Dynasty. They are just for training. Even if they are not used in the future, they can be handed over to the next-level troops for use.

There are 12 second-level warships, 8 second-level warships, 6 third-level warships, 5 second-level warships, 1 fourth-level warship and a second-hand one. At the same time, there are four third-level warships and one fourth-level warship in progress.

There is no way, there are very few new ships, and the demand from the countries is very large. You can place orders, but those who want to drive away directly are basically second-hand ones, and there are very few new warships.

He did not continue to place orders at the first and second level because he believed that when the Han Dynasty level was upgraded again, he would be able to produce it, but the third and fourth levels may not be able to do it in a short period of time and could only purchase it.

As for why I only purchased this little, haha, do you think this is a money-free one? The Han Dynasty is very rich, but these warships are too expensive, and later maintenance also costs money. The power of navigation uses Yuanshi, which is terrifying to think about it.

It would be better for first-level, second-level, and third-level warships to use low-grade Yuan stones, while fourth-level warships must use medium-grade Yuan stones, otherwise they will not be able to exert all their combat power. You should know that a medium-grade Yuan stone is equal to one thousand low-grade Yuan stones, and the official exchange is 100 million taels of silver, which is actually more.

Moreover, when purchasing warships, people directly asked for Yuanshi, while people didn't want gold and silver at all.

A new first-level warship costs 5 Yuan stones, and second-hand ones are cheaper, ranging from 2 to 4 Yuan stones. The purchase of 16 first-level warships costs a total of 59 low-grade Yuan stones.

A brand new second-level warship costs 30 low-grade Yuanshi, and the second-hand ones are also between 15-26. The total cost of purchasing 12 second-level warships is 296 low-grade Yuanshi.

A brand new third-level battleship costs 200 low-grade Yuanshi, and second-hand ones are also between 120-170. The purchase of 10 third-level battleships costs a total of 1,157 low-grade Yuanshi.
