If we really want to build iron boats, then we need steam engines. Now the upper limit of the science and technology tree does not allow the production of steam engines.

"When this construction is completed, it will certainly become the best giant ship among the whole Han people. With some other fleets, it can really be said that it will be crushed by other sailors."

Zhou Yu said in surprise that his awe for shuobai city was deepened at this time.

In fact, before that, he often visited other places, which also had many exquisite ships, but no matter how compared, they were not as good as the things in the shuobai dock.

Almost every ship in it can be described as perfect. Now it has become an arsenal like thing, and has arranged the division of labor to the extreme.

After all, Adam Smith also said in his wealth of nations theory that division of labor is actually a miracle created by human beings. Now this shipyard is the same.

The whole shipyard is like a machine, running day and night, countless shipbuilders are in or large or small boats back and forth, or carving.

"You continue to watch here, I just go back first."

After seeing Zhou Yu's expression, Qin Shuo's face actually showed a trace of satisfaction.

Just as there are no knights who do not love horses, there is no water army that does not love such a powerful ship. After all, this is what they will live on and fight for in the future.

"Well, my Lord, you go back first."

Zhou Yu also nodded, and then he walked around the shipyard, looking east and West, as if he could not see enough.

Qin Shuo at this time also directly withdrew from his room, and then came to the conference hall behind him. It seemed that he wanted to discuss something together.

Now all the counsellors are gathered here. In fact, they want to discuss the next step. After all, the unification of Yangzhou has been completed, so the next step is to look at the world.

In fact, Qin Shuo wanted to develop a water army because he had acquired Xuzhou and unified Yangzhou. In this way, almost the entire coastline of Han Dynasty was occupied by himself.

The coastline of Han Dynasty is very long and narrow. Since it is already half of it, it means that we have finished our task and now we are a quarter of the Han nationality.

I can now slightly put things in the Central Plains a little bit, now my goal is two small islands.

"What do you think? Is there Yizhou on QiongYa

Qin Shuozi looked at the people below.

"In fact, I don't think these two places are too important. Now it's better to pursue Yuan Shu with victory. It's good to directly crush Yuan Shu to death, or directly attack Jingzhou and Yizhou."

The actor at the bottom also said that he did not know why Qin Shuo wanted to find such two places.

In fact, no matter from the geographical location, or from other points of view, this place is not too excellent, and even dispensable.

Therefore, according to the idea of Xi Zhicai, it is dispensable at all. In fact, Qin Shuo did not say anything about this.

"Although I don't know what the Lord means, I feel that there is some truth in Zhicai's words. However, if we send troops to QiongYa now, we can take the lead to occupy it, but we also have to fight against the aborigines there. There is not much resources there."

Yan Xiang on one side also opened his mouth and nodded his head.

"In fact, there are resources in this place. In fact, I have heard from others before. In fact, there is a kind of animal on this island, which can also be ridden. It is good to use this kind of animal as a mount. Is that what the Lord means?"

Guo Jia also has some doubts, so after looking at Qin Shuo, he asks in doubt.

"In fact, now you are right in fengxiao, but only a little. This is just one of the reasons. In addition, there are still some important reasons, that is, to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies, and to attack and retreat. In the future, we can take the initiative to attack and occupy those foreign enemies."

Qin Shuo looked at Guo Jia and said.

"But where do we have any foreign enemies? Even though I am exhausted now, I still have talents like our Lord here. Dare they? "

One of the generals on the side obviously had some doubts, so he also said."This is your problem. You should know more about the present world. It will not be so simple at all. After two years, you will know that there is no lack of powerful nations in the world. Even those inferior nationalities together can be more powerful than China."

Qin Shuo took a look at the general and said.

After hearing these words, in fact, everyone's face is cloudy and sunny. Some people obviously believe in what Qin Shuo said. In fact, these two kinds of people exist.

"In fact, there are many rare treasures and wild animals that we don't have here on these two islands. We can make use of them at that time. As for the barbarian tribes, we don't have to worry about them. Dad said we should use magic to fight against magic."

Qin Shuo looked at the crowd and said.

The crowd also asked.

"That is to say, we can also use barbarians to deal with barbarians. We can find those Southern barbarians from Yizhou, and then use them to deal with them. Now they have trained a lot of elephant soldiers?"

Qin Shuo said with a smile.

"Now we have trained a lot. Now we should be able to deal with those barbarians, but once we have occupied them, can we really reap?"

A counsellor on one side also opened his mouth.

"What we are looking at is not the present, but the future. This is something that must be done. This time I come to you and ask you, but I still want to see what I mean."

Qin Shuo said after a breath.
