Zhang Chong was obviously willing to serve the country but was unable to make the world come true. If he didn't think about it carefully, he would have delayed Zhang Chong's passion, right?

Li Yi was busy until the second half of the night, and Feng Yi was very tacit in his understanding and did not disturb him. After all, she knew that seeing the Tang Dynasty's naval army was definitely something Li Yi wanted to do, not something that anyone else forced him to do.

The next morning, Li Qing went to Zhang Chong's camp again and found that Zhang Chong was training his soldiers at this time. Seeing this scene, Li Qing's face showed a smile again.

"Did you know that I can come here today, so you gathered these soldiers to practice?"

Li Qing found that Zhang Chong saw him and walked towards him quickly, and couldn't help but ask with a joke.

When Zhang Chong heard this, his face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"Your Majesty is joking. We have to train in the morning every other day. Today is the time for this training, and he is seen by you."

Zhang Chong was very real and did not say that they had done this every day. This made Li Qing quite admire him. You know, even in this era, there were already many officials who lied about a lot of things to highlight their abilities.

"I will come today, and it will not affect your military training. Just let your soldiers continue to practice. You are the only one who comes with me. Today we will study and solve the difficulties faced by your navy in this way!"

What is dawn? This is dawn? Zhang Chong actually didn't think he could be a general here for the rest of his life, but he was such a monk who hit the clock every day. Since I have arrived here, I have to think about it. This is Zhang Chong's idea, and these ideas coincide with what Li Wen thought.

Zhang Chong immediately gave orders and brought them all the fruits and tea they had produced. Then he took Li N to his house, obviously preparing to pull Li N to solve his problem in detail.

"What are your difficulties? Let me tell me first. I am indeed the emperor, and I have indeed handed over the management of this place to Hongyuan, but the general here is still you, Zhang Chong, so you still have some things to know in your mind. I and Hongyuan cannot go beyond the quotation."

Zhang Chong was still very understanding of Li Yi's view, and he had been leading this team for many years, so he had already known what he lacked.

"Your Majesty has seen it yesterday. The biggest problem here is the shortage of personnel. These warships require at least 10,000 people to maximize their combat effectiveness. But now there are less than 7,000 people. If there are 20,000 soldiers, I can actually overcome other matters, especially when Your Majesty has to build more other warships."

Obviously, Zhang Chong was able to understand the difficulties here completely, so he was unwilling to say about other details, just because he was a problem of insufficient staff.

"Hey! You guy is willing, then I have to ask you, I will give you 20,000 people. Can you find these combat power lost by the years of disrepair for me? Can the new warship be built in a short time?"

"This... is certainly not possible, but even if the previous enemies come again, they are not afraid at all!"

Zhang Chong obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with these two slightly worn warships.

"If you were the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, you had sent some naval troops to fight the Tang Dynasty. If you want to fight with the Tang Dynasty again decades later, would you still bring those small boats? Do you have to be sure that you are stronger than the Tang Dynasty warships back then and you will attack again?"

"Your Majesty means... our current warships can no longer have the advantage? Only then will we build more warships?"

Zhang Chong was able to pass the high school Jinshi in this era, which shows that he still has a lot of abilities, especially his ability to learn from others is quite powerful, so Li Qing had no problem in communicating with him.

"That's true. There may not be any enemy troops to attack our Tang Dynasty within ten years, but in twenty, thirty, fifty years, one day our enemies will make a comeback. If we are still these warships, we will probably not have the same good results as before! So we have to develop, and not only in the number of warships you mentioned, but also in the weapons of these existing warships, we must also have stronger transformations!"

What Li Yi wants to express at this time is very simple. As a general of this navy, you must not wait here, let alone rely on it. Instead, you must take the initiative to enhance the combat effectiveness of your team.

Although there is only one aspect of the population and the most important aspect of Zhang Chong's opinion, it is not the case in Li Qing's opinion. Although people are important, the weapons on these warships are even more important.

In Li Neng's opinion, even the weapons of cavalry and infantry have made great progress compared to decades ago, while the navy's warships have been stagnant, which is definitely not a normal thing.

Moreover, Li Qing had a long-term goal in his heart. During the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He was able to take a boat to the West and come back safely, which shows that China has this ability.

Now that Li Yi has come with so many advanced ideas, why can't he shorten this time by hundreds of years?

Of course, at this time, Li Ning must not tell all his plans and ideas. In that case, not only Zhang Chong, but Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan would also feel that they might be crazy, which would definitely not be of any benefit to the implementation of their plans.

"But if that is the case, I'm afraid that this craftsman will not need a small number. There are so many craftsmen now. Although His Majesty has recruited a lot before, it is still a bit difficult to build these five new warships."

In fact, in addition to the soldiers, Zhang Chong was also very upset about the craftsmen. Some of the craftsmen nowadays are actually unwilling to repair ships for him for a long time.

However, Zhang Chong always felt that the problem was almost the same as he tightened his belt. In addition, the people were basically sent by Li, so he did not talk to Li first.
