At this moment, Gan Ning's legs became a little weak. He leaned on one hand to drag Lu Jun's shoulder and barely stood up, but his heart was still extremely weak. .

"Well, this, we'd better not want the big ship." Gan Ningping regained his heart for a while and said slowly with struggle.

"How could it be not?" Lu Jun didn't know where he had a force and roared as he pulled Gan Ning's clothes, "This is a big ship, this is hard work, this is a big ship that is almost linked to invincible!"

"The problem is, do you say so much, are there so much money? 50 billion yuan? Although I, Gan Ning, are quite rich, but 50 billion yuan. Is there so much tax revenue in our Han Dynasty in a year?" Gan Ning turned his head and pushed Lu Jun, who was roaring with his hands. He was a second-hand man, but his mind was very reliable. This warship was not so short of construction costs, but rather lacked construction materials!

"We'd better be calm. If this ship is 10 billion, I will take it out." Gan Ning comforted that the 50 billion yuan material fee is too crazy. Even if the navy supports it, it will basically be impossible to handle it.

"Then give me 10 billion first and let me build it first." Lu Jun said without any moral integrity. When Gan Ning said it was 10 billion, Lu Jun's eyes were shining.

"I said I was gritting my teeth, but it doesn't mean I have it now!" Gan Ning almost touched the ground with his head. Although he had looted the Indian Ocean pirates and the harbor city of Campbell Bay, it was still quite far away from 10 billion yuan, but it was already within reach.

"You don't know much about this country in many aspects." Seeing that Lu Jun died and asked for money, Gan Ning was silent for a while, preparing to give Lu Jun some details. "I know a lot of things in this country because of Chen Hou's personal choice. I guess this warship, if it is pure steel structure, it needs tens of millions of kilograms of iron, but we don't have so much steel at all."

"No, there are only 30,000 tons under the new weight and measure." Lu Jun curled his lips and said, "As for steel, Luzhong Steel Factory still has about a few thousand tons of savings."

"There is an output limit." Gan Ning sighed and said, "Ji Cai, give up. This ship fills you in and can't even build it. Although I don't know what the unit is 30,000 tons, in my impression, it takes two to three years to produce these steels alone, and even if they are produced, it is impossible for you to do it all."

Gan Ning's explanation made Lu Jun's face turn pale. He considered many aspects, but did not consider the production capacity issue. Although there were not many mines in the Central Plains and the iron ore yield was very high, the grade of the Central Plains iron ore was too poor, and some other things were always mixed in it.

This also leads to the fact that the output of high-quality steel is actually very low. This is why China has always had the highest level of steelmaking technology in the feudal era since the Han Dynasty, but the steel produced can only be said to be useful.

Even by the Tang Dynasty, weapons used by countries such as Arabia, Europe and Byzantine had already caught up with the Central Plains. By the Song Dynasty, foreign iron tools had even begun to fight back against the Central Plains.

It’s not that the steelmaking technology in Europe and Central Asia is so good. To be honest, their technology barely reached the level of the Three Kingdoms at that time, but it couldn’t stand the other’s ore grade!

It can be used directly to calcined cast iron ore. Such iron content as high-grade magnet ore directly exceeds 70%, and 7 kilograms of iron can be produced in ten kilograms. No matter how high your skills are, it is nonsense to encounter such things. It is directly typing through forging iron, and you can't accept it.

This is why Europe developed a strange knight package like canned iron in the fifth century. To put it bluntly, it is because the iron ore there are good grades and few impurities, and it can be used at will. It can be used in a tidy manner and can be shipped directly by calcining and casting.

As for China, iron ore has a high reserve, but very few high-grade ore, and even fewer can be thrown into blast furnaces and smelted directly. Therefore, it is crazy to strengthen technology. But the problem is that technology cannot be promoted overnight, and due to the environment, technology may not be able to distance itself from the other party's barbaric iron smelting method.

By the way, let’s talk about the Celtics, one of the earliest nations in the world to master iron smelting technology. However, their iron smelting technology cannot be called technology. It is purely because the iron ore is of high quality, and it relies on the reaction of carbon and ore that cannot be completely burned to produce iron, which is crazy and has no technical content casting method...

"That, I can't look back." Lu Jun hesitated for a long time and gave a briefing to Gan Ning. In Lu Jun's opinion, Gan Ning is a brother who must be trusted, so there is nothing that cannot be said.

Gan Ning was stunned. Are you really the timid and timid guy Lu Jun I have ever met? Why do I feel that you have simply subverted your previous image!

"That's all. I think I can't look back now, but that's fine, so I don't have to consider those that are missing. I want to build him!" After Lu Jun saw Gan Ning being completely stunned, he suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect that Lu Jun can do something that surprised Xingba so much that he couldn't even say anything!"

"You are mentally retarded!" Gan Ning punched Lu Jun in the back of the head and knocked Lu Jun out of the way. Do you know what you are doing? While I will take you to surrender now, I can still protect you. No one can save you any longer!

Gan Ning knocked Lu Jun out with one punch, then carried Lu Jun's head down on his shoulder. Before the incident, he had to find someone who could cover up the matter. Otherwise, the people Lu Jun did now would not be enough to fill in the Lu family. If Lu Jun cheated this wave, it would be really that there would be too many people offended, so many that Gan Ning would keep it.

More importantly, Gan Ning had already felt the hidden dangers behind this in a vague way. There were too many people and facts involved in this matter.

When Gan Ning knocked Lu Jun unconscious with one punch, Jia Mu was also coming to the Lu family shipyard with a checklist for verification. After all, although this shipyard is nominally owned by the Lu family, it actually has the official relationship behind it. This is half of the state-owned assets, so it naturally has the significance of participating in the audit.

Of course, the Lu family shipyard was not on the audit list, but during this period of time, Jia Mu found that many strange materials flowed to the Lu family shipyard. Although these instructions were not a problem, there were even instructions of Lu Su and Chen Xi at the same level, but calculating the quantity, Jia Mu felt that it was unscientific!

Whose shipyard needs 2,000 tons of high-quality steel for making armor and weapons? Even if there is an official document, the amount is too large.

In addition, Jia Mu was delegated from the central government for auditing, and many things can be found if they need to be investigated. Inexplicably, Lu Jun has recently engaged in many activities involving large-value currencies. Man Chong has been particularly concerned about the flow of large-value currencies recently, so Jia Mu will also habitually keep an eye on them.

Let’s look at the list of involved. The five major wealthy merchants include the Zhen family, the Wu family, and the Central Plains rich tyrants, such as Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang, and Sun Min, who are all on the list. Let’s look at the big guys like Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu, Zhou Yu, and people like Gongsun Gong and Shi Xie, and then calculate the large and small families involved. Jia Mu can’t think about it much.

After all, after Jia Mu had a rough lookup, he really couldn't calm down. The amount and various materials involved in Lu Jun had already exceeded 10 billion. What was he trying to do?

By the way, in addition to Jia Mu, Cao Cao also came to contact him, hoping to buy hundreds of tons of high-quality steel from Lu Jun. Of course, this is just thinking about it. The steel in Lu Jun’s hand will never be sold, and he himself is not enough to use it.

Of course, Cao Cao also had official contacts with Liu Bei, hoping to buy a group of high-quality steel personnel. This person was named Lu Qian, who was here to communicate about this matter. However, in addition to the official figures, there are other channels in private. After all, Cao Cao was not sure whether he could buy steel from Chen Xi.

However, the people who came to contact Lu Jun have not yet joined Lu Jun.

As for Jia Mu's determination of the problem, although he felt that he was meddling in other people's business, he could not suppress his curiosity in the end and ran over to see what the Lu family wanted to do. However, before he could go in, he saw Gan Ning rushing out with Lu Jun on his shoulder.

"Uh. General Gan!" Jia Mu was stunned and immediately bowed to salute.

"You, by the way, you are the son of Military Commander Jia, Jia Suzhi, why are you here?" Gan Ning looked at Jia Mu a little familiar. After a while, he realized that this was Jia Xu's eldest son? But he looked much more heroic than in previous years.

"Audit." Jia Mu glanced over everyone with his eyes sharply and said coldly and ruthlessly. This is the biggest change in Jia Mu after he won a group of people in recent times. "He came to review the situation of the Lu family shipyard, and there are problems with the flow of steel and funds!"

Jia Mu has been so long now, the biggest difference is that he has become calm and has learned to create his own advantages in chaotic occasions. No matter if he has any problems, he has no problem. First determine his own nature and avoid being unnamed!

"Audit?" Gan Ning was silent for a while and nodded. As the core figure of the civil service system, Jia Xu sent his eldest son to do this. Gan Ning had already guessed how many pushers there were behind him, but he didn't know if Jia Mu was here for this or if he was unexpectedly here.
