Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 356
"Sigh... Concubine, Ruoxue is a thief and has already broken his heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to gain much benefit for the empire."

Nangong Ruoxue sighed leisurely.

"My child, I know that this is a little difficult for you, but you have to help your father solve the current crisis for your father's sake!"

Concubine Qing persuaded.

"Concubine, it's not that Ruoxue doesn't want to do it, it's that she's afraid that she won't be able to do what she wants."

Nangong Ruoxue looked bitter.

"Silly boy, regardless of your and Lu Hao's identities, Lu Hao is such a talented person. My mother-in-law also hopes that you can marry him and love him well. I believe he will make you happy."

Concubine Qing also looked helpless.

"Concubine, but I have already broken his heart, how can he still accept me?"

Nangong Ruoxue was very sad.

"Silly boy, tell my concubine whether you like him or not?"

Concubine Qing asked seriously.

"I...I don't know. It's just that after I came back, I...I think about him all the time. It feels like he is all in my mind."

Nangong Ruoxue did not hide her feelings for Lu Hao.

"Hehehe... Silly boy, you have fallen in love with Lu Hao!"

Concubine Qing said with a cheerful smile.

"But, he is my enemy! At the beginning, I even wanted to kill him!"

Nangong Ruoxue was very conflicted.

"At this moment, just like now, your father wants to marry you to him in exchange for a short period of peace! Doesn't your father love you?"

Concubine Qing explained patiently.

"Mother, I...I don't know how to face him?"

Nangong Ruoxue is a complete emotional idiot.

"You! Tell him how you feel in your heart, or tell him directly that you have fallen in love with him. Do you think he is a heartless person?"

"If he is unwilling to accept you, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless. If he has feelings for you, this matter will be much simpler."

Concubine Qing gave a solution.

"But if I leave, I won't be able to be by your side. You will be lonely in the future. And I'm worried that Lu Hao will destroy the empire."

Nangong Ruoxue said worriedly.

"Silly boy, how can I be lonely when your father is with me? When you grow up, you will have someone you like. If you pursue your own happiness, my mother will only be happy for you."

"As for your claim that Lu Hao will destroy the Sui Empire, this is a bit unfounded. The Sui Empire has been established for hundreds of years, how can it be destroyed casually?"

"Even if Lu Hao really destroys the Sui Empire one day, that is still the course of history and has nothing to do with you. You are just a little girl. As long as you have your own happiness."

Concubine Qing's layout and vision are indeed different.

It is such an excellent mother who can raise such an excellent daughter.

She looked at her daughter dotingly, smiled with relief, and added: "Besides, if Lu Hao really rules the continent, then you will be the empress of the world. I am not even happy enough, so why should I blame you?"

"I never thought about being a queen? I just want to stay by his side and watch him silently."

Nangong Ruoxue looked shy, seemed to be in a much brighter mood, and seemed to have accepted the marriage plan. …

At this moment, the Prime Minister of the Dayan Empire has arrived at Qiongzhou Port in Qiannanhai.

As the largest seaport in the southern part of the Great Yan Empire, it also has the largest naval fleet in the empire, echoing the largest Crescent Port in the eastern part of the empire.

However, since most of the Great Yan Empire and its surrounding neighbors are bordered by land, the naval fleet is not that important.

At most, it has an auxiliary and supporting role. However, in order to deal with the Wei Empire across the Qiannanhai Sea, the empire's naval fleet has not been truly abandoned.

The empire's annual allocation to the navy is not large, and the naval fleet is rarely used for real war purposes.

As the commander-in-chief of the Southern Navy, General Ding Rumo is also a rare talent, but the empire does not give him much room to develop.

In fact, Lu Hao had already seen the geographical location of this port. It could cross the vast sea to the west, directly threatening the large territory of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu.

After all, the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu only had five kingdoms bordering the empire. If you want to truly penetrate the hinterland of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu, naval landing is undoubtedly the fastest.

Because the Great Yan Empire's westward march is basically through high mountains and lofty mountains, and the logistics and transportation cannot be effectively guaranteed.

After all, there are so many mountains and valleys, most of which are blocked by one man and cannot be opened by ten thousand people. Once the enemy ambushes up there, no matter how many people are there, it will be useless.

Therefore, if the Great Yan Empire wanted to destroy the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu, sending troops from land was not the best choice.

The best strategy is to land the navy and invade the hinterland of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu to drain the country.

Lu Hao came here mainly to prepare steam engines to be installed on these battleships. Of course, these battleships that rely entirely on wind power must undergo some modifications.

Of course, if the naval shipyard here can perfectly integrate steam engines into warships, the future combat effectiveness will be doubled.

Lu Hao started the layout for the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu early, which fully demonstrated his ambition and ambition to dominate the world.

Accompanied by Ding Rumo and Xuanyuan Hongzhi, Lu Hao took Tantai Xiyao and Wu Qingyu to visit the empire's shipyard.

"Prime Minister, this is the largest shipyard in our Qiongzhou Port. It can produce the largest five-story ship in the empire..."

General Ding Rumo took the initiative to introduce.

"General Ding, I really want to meet with the head of the Building Supervision Department and the shipbuilders to improve our empire's shipbuilding technology..."

Lu Hao said straight to the point.

"Master Xiang, these are our masters of shipbuilding. If you have any questions, I can communicate with them..."

General Ding Rumo pointed to the escorts behind him.

"Since you are all expert shipbuilders, I won't talk nonsense anymore. I want to change the shipbuilding technology of our empire. From now on, all ships will be made of steel..."

Lu Hao said to several shipbuilding masters.

"Prime Minister, you said to use steel? But will steel sink?"

one of them asked.

"Although steel will sink in the water, once it is made into a boat, it can float on the water. This is a drawing of the original picture. Take a look at it first..."

Lu Hao took out the drawings of the new battleship he had drawn.

"Actually, this kind of ironclad ship does not have much technical content. It just needs to replace all the wood used in shipbuilding with steel."

"However, this kind of ironclad ship is relatively heavy and requires strong power to push it. Therefore, I will equip these ironclad ships with steam engines as power..."

Lu Hao smiled and continued to explain.
