"Winter has already entered the current season. Maybe even if those big loach boats are built, they won't be of much use."

"Then let's wait until the spring comes and the flowers bloom, and then we can use those large loach ships to load steel chariots and invade the Japanese islands in a large scale."

This time, the government discussions have reached this point and have entered the final stage.

Zhao Ji looked there and found that there were no memorials submitted by the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.

So he asked Eunuch Sheng, who was standing aside, to give the order to announce the disbandment of the dynasty.

Originally, Zhao Ji was supposed to go to the Shang Shufang to review the memorial at this time.

But suddenly he thought of Hu Sanniang. After becoming his woman, she had not received the title she deserved.

So at this moment, I took care of this matter first.

As for the drafting of the title, Zhao Ji had been thinking about it for a long time.

After all, in Zhao Ji's own opinion, if the setting was too low, he would really feel sorry for Na Nizi.

After all, Na Nizi had helped him a lot before this.

What if it is set too high?

Then it will definitely arouse the jealousy and dissatisfaction of other women in the palace.

Therefore, after Zhao Ji pondered for a long time, he could only give Hu Sanniang the title of Jieyu of the seventh rank.

In this regard, the girl didn't say much.

She was just extremely happy about the extremely gorgeous palace clothes sent by the maids in the palace, and the beautiful house specially allocated for her by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Originally, Zhao Ji wanted to go over and talk to Hu Sanniang more.

But as soon as he left the study room, Eunuch Sheng presented another memorial to him.

Zhao Ji looked at the signature place and saw that it was from the Ministry of Industry.

And the content written on this memorial is also a continuation of what was discussed in court this morning.

On it, not only the logs and steel raw materials needed to build those large loach ships are stated.

It also clearly states the names of the craftsmen used and many details of the craftsmanship that may be used.

For example:

Ye Chun, recommended by Zhong Shidao, served as the construction supervisor of this large loach boat.

A group of officials from the Ministry of Industry used the power systems of tanks and combat vehicles as a template to add steam power systems to those large Loach ships.

Then Yubangan Mengkang, a new official in the Ministry of Industry, served as Ye Chun's deputy and acted as a manufacturing supervisor.

At the same time, there was Hongtianlei Lingzhen, who was manufacturing artillery attack systems for those large loach ships.

When Zhao Ji read this memorial, his joy was beyond words.

I was able to read the entire text, and at the end of the memorial, I used the brush at hand to complete the review and comments.

And handed it directly to Eunuch Sheng, asking him to issue it as soon as possible so that everyone mentioned above can execute it as soon as possible.

Within Suzhou.

In a rather gorgeous palace.

Fang La, who was wearing a dragon robe, was sitting on a dragon chair, looking at the information letter placed on the dragon case with a very worried look.

But there were two people standing on the side of Long An.

One person is Wang Yin, Fangla's Minister of War.

The other one was Fang La's Privy Councilor in the East Hall, Lu Shinang.

Fang La sighed quite deeply:

"I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that such a careful plan of several of our coalition forces would fail!"

"Moreover, he also killed several of my generals and hundreds of troops."

"Hey……"

Fang La sighed, but suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Shinang who was standing not far in front of him with a rather eager expression:

"Lu Aiqing, after the Song Dynasty defeated my generals one after another, did they react in any other way?"

"Such as dispatching troops and generals to lead a large army to attack our place, etc.?"

Lu Shinang slowly shook his head:

"Replying to Your Majesty, I have never heard any news about this."

Fang La nodded slowly, and while his eyes were slightly closed, he said several words in succession:

"That's good, that's good..."

But as soon as Fang La finished speaking, Lu Shinang quickly added:

"But Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries."

"What if we here completely relax our vigilance just because the Song Dynasty does not immediately send troops to us."

"For now, it may not be a big deal, but if things continue like this, it will definitely lead to other troubles."

Fang La nodded solemnly:

"But I don't know what solutions Lu Aiqing has come up with to solve the predicament before her?"

Lu Shinang slowly shook his head:

"It's not a very good idea, it's just some means of self-protection."

"After all, the situation in the entire Song Dynasty is not very stable now."

"Looking around, no matter the Song Dynasty, Jin Kingdom, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Japan, Goguryeo and other forces, they are not peaceful masters."

"If we want to find some chance of survival in such a troubled world, or even an invincible position."

"Then we must first strengthen our own strength."

"And after the previous few battles, we have already lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses here."

"Plus some old, frail and injured ones."

"If we start a war with other forces here again, I'm afraid we won't be able to produce many elite soldiers to strengthen the army."

"So Wei Chen suggested that we should take advantage of the current situation where there is no war to fight and recruit as many troops as possible."

"If a war breaks out in the future, whether we attack proactively or defend passively, we have a great chance of winning."

Fang La tapped the table a few times with his fingers.

Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at Wang Yin, the Minister of War, who was standing aside and had not said a word for a long time:

"Wang Aiqing, just do what Lu Aiqing said."

"In these days, you will recruit troops on a large scale within the area under our jurisdiction. The more, the better."

After Wang Yin left here, Fang La suddenly said to Lu Shinang:

"When you have free time there, send spies to explore other forces' territories."

"Look at other forces. Are there any other actions in the near future?"

"Since this time, the teams we sent to the Song Dynasty died one after another."

"It is expected that other forces will suffer the same heavy losses as us."

"If we could know the reaction of other forces earlier, it would be extremely beneficial to us."

After Fang La waited for Lu Shinang to leave, he closed his eyes slightly and sighed.

At the same time, the thoughts in his head became even more complicated and confusing.

……

The matter of shipbuilding is really complicated.

Not only does it require enough steel and wood raw materials, but it also requires many craftsmen and countless energy and time to build a powerful warship that meets the requirements in all aspects.

Only now, two months have passed, and the Ministry of Industry has managed to build an experimental ship.
