Weihaiwei's shipyard has fully realized large-scale production, and Mao Wenlong personally designed the assembly line production method. It can fully meet the needs of building 100 lucky ships in a year.

But the current Wang Datie is like this, obviously encountering irreversible things. What is needed for far-sea operations is large ships, and it is even more dangerous and inappropriate to fight in the open sea without large ships.

That's why Mao Wenlong spared no expense and prepared to build a Fuchuan navy, but now that something seems to have gone wrong, Mao Wenlong is naturally anxious. There is no good face to treat Wang Datie, a great hero.

Wang Datie was anxious and anxious for many days, and it was not easy to wait for Mao Wenlong, and it was normal for him to be too excited for a while. This will make Wang Datie under Mao Wenlong's cold drink, and his consciousness has recovered a little, but he is still in a trance.

Mao Wenlong saw that he was wrong, and did not force him, let him calm down, and then asked again: "What happened, tell me!" ”

Wang Datie did not dare to slack off, and immediately informed Mao Wenlong of the shortage of raw materials. After hearing this, Mao Wenlong smiled, he had fought pirates in the south before, but he had not collected less warships, and it was not difficult to solve the problem of shortage of raw materials.

Mao Wenlong chuckled lightly twice, and said with a relieved smile: "You don't have to worry too much about the problem of raw materials, this general soldier is here to solve the problem for you this time." Let's go inside and talk. ”

gave the guards a look and asked them to let go of Wang Datie, and Mao Wenlong helped him up by the way. The two entered Weihaiwei together, and Wang Datie had already recovered his clarity, and his old face was full of smiles.

The only anxiety in his heart was resolved by Mao Wenlong, and there was nothing to worry about. This will already guide Mao Wenlong diligently, and he will not forget to introduce Mao Wenlong everywhere he goes.

Soon, the two came to Wang Datie's office, the room was full of drawings, and as soon as the door opened, Mao Wenlong's raised feet retracted. I saw that there was almost no place to put my feet in the house, and if this man walked in, he would have to step on the paper on the ground.

Wang Datie had an embarrassed expression on his face, and he smirked twice and was about to rush in to clean up. Mao Wenlong stretched out his hand to hold him, and said with a soft smile: "No need, this is the place where you do things, just find a quieter one, so as not to damage your drawings." ”

Mao Wenlong's confidant words made Wang Datie very useful, and he knew that Mao Wenlong was a person who loved and cherished talents. But he didn't expect it to reach such a level, Wang Datie, who was very warm in his heart, immediately led Mao Wenlong to his residence, a quiet small courtyard.

The small courtyard is close to the sea, and the fence is a simple bamboo fence, and you can see the wide sea from the courtyard. The sea breeze blowing is very elegant.

Wang Datie was going to invite Mao Wenlong to the house, but was stopped by Mao Wenlong and asked him to move some chairs to talk in this courtyard.

Mao Wenlong opened his mouth to speak, Wang Datie naturally didn't dare to disobey, and went to move the chair in a hurry. Mao Wenlong saw that he was busy, so he asked a few guards to help, and soon set up things in the yard, and by the way, he also got some small snacks and tea.

Looking up and looking around, Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so elegant!" ”

Wang Datie was praised like this, even if his old face was red, the whole person was uncomfortable. He Wang Datie is a big old man, he used to be a craftsman, not to mention elegant, that is, he is illiterate.

It's just that now it's different after all, no matter how uneducated he is, he is also a big official in charge of tens of thousands of people. It's still necessary to learn something elegant and pretend. In order to integrate into the circle of literati who pretend to be high-minded, Wang Datie also made a lot of efforts.

Not only did he get such an elegant yard as a residence, but he also deliberately went to learn some calligraphy, painting and poetry. Not to mention, he is now pretending to be elegant, not worse than others at all, and he can be regarded as one of the literati, and it is not in vain that he has spent so much effort.

"Chief soldier, don't make fun of the lower officer, if this is not good, wait for the lower official to order someone to tear this down." Wang Datie had an embarrassed look on his face, and thought that this was Mao Wenlong's lecture.

Seeing that Wang Datie misunderstood himself, Mao Wenlong chuckled: "Don't don't, you're good like this, keep it up." But don't leave things in the shipyard behind, you know? ”

Wang Datie nodded obediently, not daring to have the slightest disobedience.

After being silent for a moment, Mao Wenlong tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Wang Datie and said, "Let's talk about it, what raw materials are missing?" ”

When it came to business, Wang Datie hurriedly packed up his mood and said with a straight face: "Chief soldier, the wood needed to build a lucky ship, especially the wood of the keel, is very rare. These things are even more scarce in the north, and it takes time and effort to transport them from other places, not to mention, and there are often accidents in the process. As a result, demand often exceeds supply, and there are serious overruns. ”

"Oh, that's what happened, it's really a problem that can't be ignored."

After a pause, Mao Wenlong looked up at Wang Datie: "Then do you have any ideas of a solution now?" ”

Wang Datie hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Chief soldier, the best way at the moment is to move the shipyard from Weihaiwei. ”

Mao Wenlong asked: "Where is the right place to move?" ”

Wang Datie said categorically: "Nanjing, the original shipyard in Nanjing is a good place. We can quickly build a new shipyard on the same site. ”

I have to admit that what Wang Datie said is true, but Mao Wenlong is more concerned about whether the construction period of the Fu ship is timely. He asked: "It is understandable to move the shipyard to Nanjing. But do you know if the construction of Fuchuan will be completed on time? ”

Wang Datie didn't dare to respond quickly, he thought about it in his heart for a long time before he replied: "Chief soldier, the lower officials don't dare to make assertions now, it will take two or three days to calculate the specific time." ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated, nodded and smiled: "Since this is the case, then give you three days." After three days, you have to give me a definite answer, otherwise you will not be spared. ”

Wang Datie was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly got up to salute Mao Wenlong and thanked him, and promised that he would give the final answer after three days.

When it comes to this, it has come to an end temporarily, and Mao Wenlong did not continue to let Wang Datie accompany him. After sending him to calculate the shipyard. He himself and his guards began to wander around Weihaiwei carefully.

Everywhere he went, he was orderly and busy, which can be seen that Wang Datie was not derelict in his duties at all. took care of Weihaiwei in an orderly manner, which made Mao Wenlong very satisfied.
