In fact, Hong Yuan obviously doesn't understand some warships and professional things.

He knew that in fact, what Li Qing wanted to see this time was just Zhang Chong and the others' attitude.

In this kind of thing, the person in charge must have a spirit of study, in other words, the person in Zhang Chong's position must be able to figure it out.

Hong Yuanzi thought he was not a person with that personality, at least not a person who could think about these craftsmen's affairs, but based on his observations before, Zhang Chong should be a person with this personality.

After listening to Zhang Chong's passionate speech for nearly two hours, Hong Yuan had no chance to speak at all during this period.

"What does the county magistrate think of our plan?"

"Well... According to what you said before, it should be good, but what you look like on the drawings early and what you really do is like. This is not good. So neither Your Majesty nor You can look at your drawings, but you should look at what you look like after you make the new warships. Whether you can have stronger combat power than these warships today is what Your Majesty cares about. The progress we have made this year is quite good. I hope that in a few more years, you can achieve the same achievements as this year!"

Zhang Chong is not a stupid person. Although Hong Yuan did not say anything to praise him directly, he also knew that it was useless to praise him here. When Hong Yuan told Li about the situation here, what Li Qing thought was the most important thing, and at least at this time, it seemed that there was basically no problem.

"Don't worry, if Your Majesty is lucky enough to be here again in a few years, our Dongmu Navy will definitely have a very obvious change compared to before, and there is another thing..."

After making such a guarantee, Zhang Chong was so embarrassed that he obviously had nothing to say.

"If you have anything between the general and me, just say it directly, there is no need to do so!"

"The county magistrate gave almost half of Huang County's taxes to our Dongmu Navy this year. In the first year, we did have some difficulties in money, but in the past two years, all the military expenditure of the Ministry of War has been given to us in time. So even without Huang County's taxes, our navy will not have any difficulties, so the county magistrate still doesn't have to give us the money for nothing!"

Since Hong Yuan sent these personal income taxes here because it was really difficult for the navy to send these personal income taxes, the same was true for the next two years, which was a considerable part of the money.

Although Zhang Chong also used all this money to build warships, he felt quite disgusted. After all, the taxes in the entire Huang County were all Hong Yuan's achievements.

"I said I gave it to our Dongmu Shui Army, so I can use it with confidence and boldness. I only have one requirement, which is to let me see changes every time I come here. There is no war at present in the Tang Dynasty, so there will be no place to spend money. Your Majesty's new policies have been implemented almost. The time for spending money has passed, and in the future it will be time to make money. So, both the Tang Dynasty and Huang County are not short of money. This issue is not something you should consider."

After Hong Yuan said this, Zhang Chong naturally couldn't continue to speak.

Of course, Hong Yuan could not tell him that he was just a temporary place to settle down in Huang County, and that he had reported the taxes to Zhang Chong to Li Qing, so he didn't care about the money at all, so he naturally wouldn't take it back. Otherwise, it would be better to use this money to do something useful.

After the day's incident ended, Zhang Chong did not let Hong Yuan leave, but invited Hong Yuan to his mansion in the living area. During this period, Zhang Chong had already brought his wife and other family members over. It was precisely because of his actions that other people brought their wives and family members over.

As the general here, Zhang Chong's mansion is naturally the largest in the living area.

This is actually a very normal situation in this era. If Zhang Chong had not been able to do so, the remaining soldiers would not know when they would have to go there to realize their wish to live with their families, so they still respected Zhang Chong very much.

According to Zhang Chong, he invited Hong Yuan over today, which was a completely family dinner.

After all, judging from the current situation, Zhang Chong is also Hong Yuan's own person. If Hong Yuan had not come to vigorously develop the Dongmu Navy, no matter how many years it took, Zhang Chong would have been a forgotten corner.

One thing Zhang Chong is like Li Qing, with two wives, one is slightly older than him, and the other is only about twenty years old.

This situation is also very common in this era. For example, Zhang Chong is in a position where he is now in two ladies. This also shows from another aspect that this guy has indeed spent most of his experience on the Dongmu Navy in recent years. Otherwise, how could these two be able to do this?

When he arrived at Zhang Chong's mansion, Hong Yuan talked more about Zhang Chong's resume and what happened before he became an official.

He knew that the reason why Zhang Chong did this was just a way to express his determination to him and Li Qing who was standing behind him. Although Hong Yuan would not tell him about this, and as a good brother who has always been with him, Hong Yuan would also cooperate with him quite well.

However, Zhang Chong's wife gave Zhang Chong a big face. The table of Jianghuai food she made made Hong Yuan, who had never been able to eat Jianghuai cuisine, was very excited. For this, it further narrowed the distance between Hong Yuan and Zhang Chong.

After the meal, Hong Yuan did not leave Dongmu immediately, but instead took three or four days to take a close look at the situation where the craftsmen rested in the warships.

In this team, the role of craftsmen is actually basically the same as that of soldiers. Without craftsmen, things that need to be repaired cannot be repaired in time, and things that need to be upgraded cannot be upgraded, which is very dangerous.
