Now, Li Yueming’s efforts finally showed some results.
He sighed for a while.
Li Yueming smiled and said,” I’m not the Son of Heaven. There’s no need for you to kneel. Everyone is equal in Qingdu Port!””
But even so.
Only a few people stood up.
Even more people were still kneeling on the ground.
Before Li Yueming could say anything.
The crowd once again opened their mouths in unison.”
Hearing this.
Li Yueming could only shake his head helplessly.
At this moment.
Fu Xiaorou, who was not far away, came up to him.
Seemingly sensing Li Yueming’s helplessness, he whispered,””Master, these people are starving people outside the city. They are kneeling on the ground to thank you for saving their lives!” Li Yueming nodded and said,’”‘l see!” Recruit refugees.
To him, it was just a simple sentence.
However, when magnified, there were hundreds of thousands of lives.
He saw many refugees with their families kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
Li Yueming finally felt the weight.
He did not say anything else.
As the group of people knelt down, they left with great strides.
After returning to the city lord’s residence.
Li Yueming looked at Fu Xiaorou, who was following behind him. “Those foreigners ‘warships and freighters…Oh, no, how is the foreign pirate ship?” Hearing his question.
Fu Xiaorou was clearly prepared for this. She immediately replied, “Reporting to Master, our second fishing brigade in Qingdu Port fought with the foreign pirate ships for a few rounds and seized more than a dozen cargo ships. The various gold, silver, jewelry, firearms, and guns inside almost filled the entire warehouse of Qingdu Port!”
Li Yueming laughed.
He finally managed to hold back his laughter and said seriously,”And then? Did the pirates organize a large-scale counterattack?”
Fu Xiaorou looked excited.
She clenched her small fists and said,” The Westerners were slapped hard by you at the Martial Arts Conference this time. Now, they’re causing trouble everywhere. I reckon they won’t have the time to find trouble with us for a year and a half!”
At this point.
The excitement on Fu Xiaorou’s face faded a little.
“But these pirates have learned their lesson after being robbed by us a few times. The subsequent merchant ships have all bypassed the waters near Qingdu Port! ‘”‘
Obviously.
After experiencing a few pirate strikes.
Fu Xiaorou was completely obsessed with this kind of behavior.
Fighting pirates was many times faster than farming.
Unfortunately, the foreigners who sailed on the sea were too cunning.
After being robbed a few times, the freighter would rather take a long detour than travel to and from the sea near Qingdu Port.
Li Yueming had already expected this.
After all, no matter how much wool he had, he would still have to pull it out one day.
It was already beyond his expectations to be able to snatch more than ten ships of supplies.
After all, that was an ocean-going freighter.
The amount of resources transported to and fro was astronomical.
The supplies carried by the eleven freighters were probably enough for Qingdu Port to digest for half a year.
One could imagine how heavy the foreigners ‘losses were.
The Westerners probably never dreamed that there would be someone bold enough to snatch their things on the sea.
After all, they were prisoners and pirates pirates, and they had always been pirates pirates and bandits on all continents.
There was no navy in the entire world that could be their match.
Therefore, he was used to being arrogant and despotic on the sea.
There were only a few escort warships allocated to transport the goods.
And the behavior of Qingdu Port.
It was no different from stuffing a trouser pocket full of yellow mud into their buttocks.
It was disgusting.
If it was some time ago, the foreigners would have already mobilized their warships to attack.
But now, Li Yueming had messed things up at the Martial Arts Conference.
The seaport and inland martial artists that had been steadily occupied by the foreigners had set off an anti-foreign tide.
The group of foreigners were extremely busy.
Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and disgust and change the route of the freighter.
The problem of the foreign freighter was temporarily put aside.
He definitely had to continue snatching.
However, the current second-generation fishing boats lacked the ability to fight in the distance.
They wanted to continue intercepting freighters from the Free State.
Qingdu Port had to upgrade to the third generation of large-scale fishing boats.
“How many fishing boats are there in the second batch?” Li Yueming asked after a moment of silence.”
Fu Xiaorou had obviously been asking this question a lot.
Therefore, when he heard Li Yueming ask, he subconsciously blurted out,””About 2,500 ships!”
Li Yueming thought for a while and knocked on the table,””Stop production of the second-generation fishing boats. From now on, order all the craftsmen to research and conquer the brand new youth version of the voyage warship!”
Hearing this.
“What is the Youth Battleship?” Fu Xiaorou asked curiously.” Li Yueming thought about it.
“You can think of it as a third-generation fishing boat!” Fu Xiaorou nodded her head, not fully understanding.
Soon, he received the order and left.
Previously, due to the limited resources, it was difficult to develop a more powerful warship.
But now, the warehouses in Qing Du Harbor were filled with all kinds of resources that they had stolen from the foreigners. They already had the ability to research higher-level warships.
Of course.
All the blueprints of the battleships were drawn by Li Yueming based on infinite deductions.
Basically, all the parts could be polished by manpower.
The efficiency might be lower.
However, one should not underestimate the ability of the ancient society craftsmen..
