"Okay, Lord Tingnan, you really have the vision, you will choose the most powerful warship in the empire at once, you must know that the model of this battleship was only updated ten years ago, and it belongs to the latest and strongest warship on the current imperial sea, that is, among so many naval forces in the empire, there are only less than a hundred!"

"How long will it take to build such a battleship?" asked Zhang Zhongjun.

The eyes of the old craftsmen present were all shining, because the buyer first asked about the completion time and not the cost! So several old craftsmen looked at each other, and finally a representative said: "It will only take one year! We promise to build it for you!"

Zhang Zhongjun was directly sluggish, and the daylilies were all cold in one year, so he couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Can't you hurry up?"

The old craftsmen looked at each other again, and after a while, the representative said: "Three shifts of all-weather operation, at most shortened to ten months to complete, this can only be done by you in advance of shipbuilding funds." ”

"Ten months? can't it be faster?" Zhang Zhongjun still felt that the time was too long, and one year and ten months were all things for him when the daylily was cold! Now he felt again that he still bought the old boat in the first place.

"There is no way to shorten the time, it is no longer a matter of whether our craftsmen work hard or not, but the ship must take so long to be built, after all, this is the most powerful warship of the Empire, not an ordinary merchant ship. The old craftsmen said helplessly, they all doubted that this nobleman was ship blind, and they didn't know how long it would take to build a warship!

The big frog patted Zhang Zhongjun's head: "Just snicker, it's already very compact for people to build you such a huge sail warship for ten months, unless you have a magic weapon making machine, and then use the way of making magic weapons to build a warship." ”

Zhang Zhongjun didn't bother to ask what the magic weapon making machine was, after all, so many people were waiting for his answer now. However, since the senior brother said so, it is already a very awesome thing to complete a Shenwu-class battleship in ten months, and there is no way to shorten the time.

Zhang Zhongjun also admitted this, anyway, the new ship will wait for ten months, and in these ten months, he will use the old ship, just ten months to train the crew of the fleet.

So Zhang Zhongjun nodded and said, "Okay, then I want a hundred of this kind of Shenwu-class battleships." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the tooth man, stared out their eyes, and the whole person froze.

After a while, the old steward plucked out his ears and asked in disbelief, "My lord, how many ships did you say?"

"One hundred, is there a problem?" Zhang Zhongjun said with a wink: "I can pay in full first, anyway, everyone is in the system, and I am not afraid that you will repay the debt." ”

As soon as the old craftsman frowned and was about to say something, he instantly covered his mouth for the old steward, and then said with a smile on his face: "My lord, did you mean to pay in full first?

"Yes, how much does this Shenwu-class battleship cost?" Zhang Zhongjun nodded indifferently and said.

At this moment, the old craftsmen who originally wanted to oppose finally understood, and immediately turned red, and then a group of people hid in the corner and whispered, and finally the old steward smiled like a fox and raised a finger: "A Shenwu-class battleship is 50,000 gold!"

Before Zhang Zhongjun could react, the tooth man jumped up: "Old fellow, you won't rob it! I haven't seen a Shenwu-class battleship! Isn't it just 20,000 gold a ship? How can I get to my guest for 50,000 gold a piece!"

This tooth man had to jump up, although the higher the transaction amount, the higher his intermediary commission, but this ridiculously high price, he, the Chinese man, did not jump out immediately to bargain, he would definitely go back to the boss with a sack and sink into the sea! That's right, even if he made more money for the tooth shop, the boss had to put him in a sack and sink into the sea to show justice!

"That's a warship made for the navy, and all the materials are allocated from above, and we can't earn a dime, so we get a dead wage! The cost has been compressed to the extreme! And now this is a warship for private people, and the manpower, materials, docks, and so on have to spend money on recruitment, procurement, and construction, and if our shipyard doesn't make money, who is willing to work in three shifts!" The old steward said helplessly.

Zhang Zhongjun nodded, this is indeed the reason, the national task, the shipyard can't earn a dime at all, the materials and personnel are all deployed by the state, since the workers in your shipyard are all paid, it is natural to work, where can you make money.

However, it is estimated that it is also because of this system that the shipyards of the government will deteriorate. Mechanics and technology were all transferred to private shipyards. It's a matter of course to think about it, the private shipyard makes a lot of money by relying on its own craftsmanship, while the public shipyard receives a dead salary, as long as it is a person who wants to live a good life, then there is no need to choose at all!

Zhang Zhongjun stopped the tooth man who wanted to continue bargaining, and the tooth man still maintained an indignant look on his face, but his heart was happy. If the customer agrees not to bargain, it has nothing to do with him. When I thought that I could actually take a cut of the transaction volume of 5 million gold, I felt that my whole body was one, and my backbone seemed to be swishing.

"Can a hundred Shenwu-class warships be completed in ten months?" asked Zhang Zhongjun.

The eyes of the old steward and the old craftsmen lit up, and their snorts became thicker, because Zhang Zhongjun's words had already indicated that he was willing to accept the price of 50,000 gold for a battleship! Oh my God! 50,000 gold for a Shenwu-class battleship! After deducting the expenses of recruiting manpower, procuring supplies, and repairing the dockyard, and then deducting the cost of a battleship, it was completely possible to earn 20,000 gold for one battleship!

One hundred ships is two million gold! Oh my God! Two million gold! What a huge fortune this is! Guanglong Shipyard is going to be developed! My own people are going to be developed!

"No problem, as long as the funds are sufficient, I absolutely guarantee that I will hand over a hundred Shenwu-class battleships to you in ten months!" the old craftsmen promised one by one by beating their chests.

"Very good, then it's a total amount of five million, I'll ...... it," Zhang Zhongjun said, and went to touch his storage ring.

At this moment, the old steward suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Wait, please wait, sir! Don't just hand over all the funds to us, your lord still leave an account in the shipyard, let us take it as we go!"

The old craftsmen looked at the old steward who had suddenly changed their minds suspiciously, but they obviously remembered something, and immediately nodded in agreement.
