Although I really didn't want to hurt him, these words were really unbearable.
Xiao Chen touched his nose and thought over and over again: "A lifetime masterpiece, something I'm proud of, are you sure?"
This scrutinizing attitude makes those who say it feel a little guilty.
Sheng Yuan glanced at his mouth and said with a slight embarrassment: "Of course, there are some shortcomings."
"But nothing is perfect in the world, and a good ship needs to be improved step by step."
"As for the ship modification issue you raised today, even if you don't talk about it, I can still study it myself in the future!"
This damn stubborn boy actually makes people speechless.
Ji Hongluan clasped her arms in her arms: "Life is only a few decades long. When you figure it out on your own, you don't know how long it will take until the years of the monkey."
Xiao Chen also crossed his legs and smiled slightly: "Then what if I tell you that there can be more perfect improvements to the warship?"
"Do you think you can correct all the disadvantages of the ship in your lifetime?"
As soon as these words came out, Sheng Yuan was stunned.
"What do you mean!"
Xiao Chen didn't hide anything from the moment and mentioned a few shortcomings of the ship's hull and corresponding modification methods.
The combination of many familiar words gave him a result that he had not studied for half his life.
Sheng Yuan was completely dumbfounded, "You, you know so much about ships?"
"I didn't expect you, a lackey, to be capable!"
"Hey, be careful what you say and don't call anyone a lackey."
"Then if you say something rude again, believe it or not, my aunt, I will give you some color."
Ji Hongluan took two steps forward and grabbed his throat.
Xiao Chen winked: "Hong Luan, don't be rude, don't forget the purpose of our visit this time."
He looked at Sheng Yuan in a flash and said, "Du Wei, seeing that you are quite jealous of evil, I will not care about what happened before."
"It's just that when the human governor general leads his army to fight the Japanese people in a water battle, warships are indispensable. So~"
He looked at Sheng Yuan meaningfully, and there was no need to say more next words.
Sheng Yuan was immediately stunned: "Do you really want to fight the Japanese?"
Xiao Chen sneered, "Why, is it possible that you still feel sorry for him?"
"Don't talk nonsense here, I just think it's a bit unbelievable."
From the beginning, he thought that Xiao Chen didn't have many people with him and he must be just hanging out.
Now that they are going to deal with Japan, and they even come here specifically to ask for warships, it really subverts their understanding.
His eyes were alert and he wished he had the ability to read his mind and could see through his thoughts.
Unfortunately, it is just a figment of imagination.
"You have less than a thousand people. Why are you going to fight Japan? You probably want to levy ships here and sell them!"
Sheng Yuan turned his head to the side, as if he didn't believe Xiao Chen.
If he really wants to use a thousand people to fight against Japan, then it can only be said that he is stupid and is seeking his own death.
If it is false, it further shows that he has ulterior motives and wants to fight the ships to make money!
If you take a step back of 10,000 steps, there are just a few people. At worst, if you add the Jiangdong Governor's soldiers, there will be tens of thousands at most. Don't they have warships themselves?
That vigilant look that makes you want to reject people is really annoying and helpless.
Xiao Chen told everything directly.
"One hundred thousand!"
"Are you kidding me?"
His pupils suddenly shrank, "Could it be that you also raise soldiers in private?"
This is a taboo.
How long did it take for a small Dongchang to be established? How could there be tens of thousands of people at his disposal?
The answer is ready to come out.
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Don't you think I'm Chen Jin's lackey?"
"And now I have proven to you that I am not that kind of person."
"Besides, I don't plan to directly requisition your warships, but to spend money to buy them. The only requirement is that your ships must be remodeled according to what I said, and the price will never be unfair."
It is not without reason that the entire Fuzhou shipyard is so poor.
Several other places did not dare to fight warships with Dong Yiren, so they were left useless.
In addition, his ships really didn't have any advantages, and the enemy's ships were shattered into pieces with just a few cannons.
Although Xiao Chen was ridiculing him a lot, every word he said was really shocking.
Sheng Yuan fell into deep thought and looked at Xiao Chen repeatedly, with chills bursting out of his eyes, "I will never sell you any ship!"
"You are raising soldiers in private, and your intentions are evil. If I help you, you will be helping the evil tyrants!"
"The Japanese have been entrenched near the sea for a long time. Even if a hundred thousand soldiers wanted to destroy them, it would be impossible."
"Are you taking these warships to sea to destroy the enemy, or are you cooperating with them and intending to rebel? Who knows?"
If he passes it on to Xiao Chen, he will be a sinner who coordinates the rebellion and will implicate the nine clans.
He cannot afford this crime and dare not bear it!
I have to admit that his ideas are bold, rich, and ridiculous.
Xiao Chen sneered, "Let's not talk about how ridiculous your fantastic ideas are."
"Even if I really want to rebel, why not?"
"Who do you think was behind the things Chen Jin did?"
"Chen Jin wanted to enclose land, and the emperor was the first to support and favoritism. Chen Jin incited the ministers to raise taxes, and the emperor followed suit..."
On the surface, although Chen Jin was a direct participant in every incident, he suffered all the infamy and ridicule.
But in the end, he is nothing more than a puppet on strings. Isn't Chu Yanwu the real controller?
"Sir, are you more loyal to Chu or to the emperor?"
These words were like a thorn, inexplicably piercing into Sheng Yuan's heart, causing a stab of pain in her chest.
Father, like son.
Even if he wanted to deceive himself and others, he didn't have the ability.
Xiao Chen patted his shoulder: "Okay, you don't have to think so much, time will naturally give you a reasonable answer."
"I'm here to discuss business today. Just tell me if you're willing to cooperate."
Xiao Chen twisted his neck slightly.
No matter which answer, he only cares about the final result.
If you obey nature obediently, everyone will be happy. If you don't want to... then don't blame yourself for using some tricks!
Fuzhou Shipyard can continue to move forward without Du Wei!
After swallowing, Sheng Yuan nodded nervously and said, "Okay, I'll change the biography as you said, and then I'll sell it all to you."
"That's right. He who knows the current affairs is a hero."
"You have to learn to see the situation clearly. The imperial court is no longer the same imperial court it was before."
Xiao Chen patted his shoulder hard twice, and then prepared to stand up and leave.
Swish, brush, brush!
A group of people rushed directly to the door, holding weapons and staring at them eagerly. They did not forget to ask if Sheng Yuan was okay?
Xiao Chen looked back at him with a smile, and Sheng Yuan waved his hand with palpitations: "Let's all go down, it's all just a misunderstanding."
