Fighting with sea monsters on the sea surface is mainly ships.

There is a kind of ship on this Fire Island. Although this ship is made of wood, it is not only powerful, but also protected by black iron outside the hull.

This black iron is extremely hard. When he was in the Cao Gang, Ye Xiuwen had a flying fish black iron armor, which was made of this black iron, which could withstand the attack of a warrior in the Yuanqi realm, which was very impressive.

The ships on the Fire Island are all covered with black iron on the outer cover. In some places, giant shields made of black iron block the most vulnerable parts on both sides of the ship.

Ye Xiuwen was also inspired and thought to himself that what I, Ye Xiuwen, could do, could not do? Moreover, the most important thing in Wupeng Town is shipbuilding craftsmen.

So Ye Xiuwen transferred three of the largest ships in the Navy, in Wupeng Town, to transform these three warships.

But there was a slight lack of black iron. Ye Xiuwen ordered people to take his token to mobilize black iron. Whether it was from the court or the people, all of them would be allocated. If there were people who did not obey the order, they would be punished for the crime of fighting against the court.

Now is an extraordinary period, and sea monsters appear in the South China Sea, hurting countless people. Anyone and anything must make way for this matter. What's more, it's not that you don't give you money. How much does your black iron cost will be compensated to you according to the market price.

But now the court has no money, so wait for the place to inform you when it will be notified and when it will be given money.

But no matter what, the black iron from all over the country is constantly transporting to Wupeng Town to build warships. King Qingyang is about to prepare to go out to sea to deal with sea beasts.

When the fishermen in Wupeng Town and nearby cities heard this, they applauded. They said that this prince was a prince who could do things. The people said that the sea monsters were a disaster, and the fishermen did not dare to go to sea, and there were heavy casualties. The Qingyang King built a warship and was about to go to sea. Some people even went to the shipyard to assist in building ships for free.

Because the ship was built one day earlier, it was also very beneficial to the fishermen. Because the sea monsters were wiped out, they could go out to sea to catch fish normally.

So, it seems that they are helping Ye Xiuwen build ships for free, but in fact they are helping themselves.

So, the dock became lively and the work was rushing day and night. And no one complained.

Ye Xiuwen looked at the lights in the distance, like a beautiful Jiangnan painting. But Yue'er was not as leisurely as Ye Xiuwen, but murmured, "We have never encountered this battle on the sea before."

"In fact, for us, the battle at sea and the battle in the water are the same. It's just that our enemies will be hidden underwater. Fighting underwater is our weakness.

It’s no big deal. Just lead those sea monsters to the water and kill them with one blow.”

Ye Xiuwen was not worried about this matter. Instead, he was worried that the ship had been built for too long.

Three days have passed, and the reinforcement in the cabin has not been completed. If this continues, it will probably take about half a month to complete the entire ship.

"Report to the prince, it's not good, Black Iron was robbed,"

Just when Ye Xiuwen felt the construction period was slow, Dormu ran out of breath and reported that the black iron had been robbed.

"Hmph, Hei Tie was robbed, so hurry up and look for it? You report it to King Qingyang? Do you want the prince to find it by himself?" Before Ye Xiuwen said anything, Yue'er scolded him. It was obvious that Dormu did not know how to observe his words and expressions. She and Ye Xiuwen were rarely alone, but Dormu was bothering them with these trivial matters.

"I am afraid!"

But when he saw Yue'er furious, he quickly knelt down.

"Yue'er, don't scare him. Building ships is a big deal now, otherwise we don't know how long it will take to go out to sea."

Ye Xiuwen and Yue'er said, and at this time, Dormu hurriedly said, "Prince? If it is a small matter, I dare not bother you. This matter is too big. Black Iron lost five tons at once, and more than 300 officers and soldiers escorted Black Iron were killed by others, which seriously affected the progress of shipbuilding."

"What? Five tons?" Ye Xiuwen's eyes widened in vain, as if they were similar to copper bells.

The value of these five tons of black iron is far more than 50 million taels. And so much black iron is lost, it is indeed a major case.

At the same time, Yue'er also frowned. She was just thinking about throwing some black iron. Although this black iron is valuable, it will be lost if it loses a hundred kilograms. Let the local officials investigate thoroughly and sooner or later, they will find the bandits and find the black iron back.

But five tons of black iron is not a small amount. Not to mention that this black iron is of high value and very rare. It is definitely not that easy to get five tons at once.

So, whether it is Ye Xiuwen or Yue'er, you must figure it out before you can talk about this matter.

"Tell me in detail, why is this black iron lost?" Ye Xiuwen said calmly, and Dormu revealed the truth.

It turns out that this black iron was found in a blacksmith shop in Jingzhou.

This blacksmith shop is good at making armor. An employer sent black iron to the blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith shop to create one hundred pairs of black iron armor for him.

The blacksmith shop took over the business, but did not want to leak the news, and was learned by the generals of Jingzhou.

It happened that the prince's order came, and the black iron among the people would also be collected, and the money needed to be paid in the future.

So the general of Jingzhou, Ye Changhai, seized the black iron, selected the masters, and took them to Wupeng Town two days later.

But what no one expected was that they were robbed and killed halfway up to Jingzhou.

No living mouth was left, and the black iron disappeared.

"It seems that it is obvious that Ye Changhai locked the black iron from others and the other party will take it back." Ye Xiuwen said coldly after hearing this.

"That seems that there is nothing wrong with it. The other party must arm the iron armor to deal with someone. Ye Changhai disrupted the other party's plan, so he naturally wanted to give him a good look." Yue'er said on the side, but she felt that the other party did nothing wrong. Ye Changhai did not give him a piece of black iron in order to win the credit, so he naturally became popular.

"With that being said, I have to say first. The black iron recruited will be compensated at the original price. And even if the goods are taken away, they will not kill everyone, right? This is not going to leave a way out for myself. Therefore, creating so many black iron armor is very likely to be used to fight against the court. Let's go to Jingzhou to take a look!"

Ye Xiuwendao then planned to leave with Yue'er. But at this time, Yue'er arrived. Should I call Yuan'er, Caidie and the others?

"No need, they are tired enough along the way, so let them rest here!"

After Ye Xiuwen said that, he asked Dormu to tell Meng Qinglong, Caidie and others about his trip to Jingzhou, while Ye Xiuwen and Yueer took advantage of the night to head straight for Jingzhou!
