"That's a good idea," Zizhen agreed. "I can have my disciples lead separate teams. However, regarding the materials..."
"You don't need to worry about that," the wicked man waved his hand dismissively. "Just make a list of what you need. I'll take care of the money and supplies; there'll be plenty!"
Just then, Zhang Erhe rushed in: "Grand Commandant, something's happened!"
"What's wrong?"
"There's movement from the Baiyue region. They seem to have received some information and have suddenly accelerated shipbuilding. Moreover..."
"And what?"
"And it seems they sent people south. I heard they went to invite some naval warfare experts."
The wicked husband, instead of being angry, was delighted: "Good! They're serious now. Very well, let's have a competition and see who's more capable!"
Turning to the two Mohist masters, he said, "Gentlemen, it seems we must hurry. This ship must be built quickly and efficiently, so the Baiyue can witness the might of our Great Qin!"
"Rest assured, Grand Commandant," Xiangli He patted his chest, "I will immediately gather my disciples and work day and night. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!"
"Oh, right," Zizhen suddenly remembered something, "there's one more thing. Since this ship is going to be used in battle, we need to prepare some hidden measures. For example, install rams under the hull, or design some mechanisms on the sides..."
"That's great!" The wicked husband's eyes lit up. "Just tell me any good ideas you have, let's think about them together!"
The three then began a lively discussion, covering everything from the ship's structure and mechanical design to material selection and personnel allocation.
They didn't finalize all the details until the sun was high in the sky.
The wicked man had someone fetch a vermilion pen and solemnly wrote on the blueprints: "Starting today, construct fifty warships, to be completed by May!"
After seeing off the two Mohist masters, the wicked man summoned Chu Ping and the others: "It's time for you to set off too. Go to Nanhai County first and keep an eye on things for me, making sure the Baiyue spies don't get the news. Postpone the departure date until we build some large ships."
"Don't worry, Grand Commandant!" Chu Ping patted his chest, "I'll keep the news completely under wraps!"
"Alright," the wicked man waved his hand, "Go and prepare. Remember, keep a close eye on the Baiyue's movements. See what kind of experts they've hired."
After everyone had left, the wicked man returned to the blueprints and carefully examined the enormous warship.
With the guidance of the Mohist master, this ship will surely become the key to victory.
At that time...
A cold smile appeared on his lips: Yi Yusong, Yi Yusong, let me show you what the methods of the Great Qin are!
