Coordinating the development of the navy's fleet, facilitating the flow of resources, efficiently resolving problems, and accelerating productivity and industrial output—these were Lu Su's main objectives in entering the naval department and assisting in the development of naval power.

Instead of leaving naval forces and related affairs to naval commanders and then letting them operate in a hands-off manner, as was done in the past.

After national unification, it will be possible to coordinate the corresponding human and material resources to regulate and develop the navy in an orderly manner.

With sufficient personnel capabilities, this is much better than the previous unchecked growth.

Both the expansion speed of naval personnel and the construction speed of naval ships are much faster than before.

Lu Su, in particular, was extremely skilled in this area. Whether it was manpower allocation or resource coordination, he was one of the top experts in the Han Empire at that time.

With Lu Su's coordination and development, the Han Empire's navy truly embarked on a high-speed development path.

Although this was an unconventional path in domestic affairs, it was also a promising one for Lu Su, and a path that allowed him to prove that he was no less capable than others.

Developing a small navy into a pillar of the empire and an indispensable force for the future can be considered as achieving the ideal goal.

However, achieving this goal is indeed fraught with difficulties, but it is precisely because of these difficulties that the possibility of a challenge exists.

Lu Su, who chose this path, may not be staying in the Chang'an government office now, seemingly leaving the center of the empire's power, but in reality, he is not at all.

The Han Empire's army and navy were the main manifestations of its military strength. Lu Su's ability to occupy a major position in the navy meant that his core position would not disappear, and his influence would only increase as the navy grew stronger.

None of the twelve seats were weak; they occupied every aspect of the Han Empire, working together to develop the empire, make it stronger, improve the lives of the people, and make the world a true world and the empire a true empire.

However, what Lu Su thought of was completely irrelevant to Sun Ce, and he couldn't even imagine it.

For Sun Ce at this time, the implications behind these events were far less tangible than having more ships, a larger fleet, or greater strength.

A large number of shipyards means an extremely high construction limit and the number of ships that can be built at the same time. It also means that ships can be produced rapidly and in large numbers in a short period of time.

As long as the personnel and materials are in place, these are not problems.

Only after having a sufficient army and warships can the plans for the south be formally put on the agenda.

This was especially important for Sun Ce at this time.

Being defeated by Cecislian, especially on the sea, is really hard to accept.

Being beaten up in Jiangdong's area of ​​expertise is truly difficult to calm down.

"According to the information from Chang'an, the subsequent ships will no longer arrive in the Qingzhou region. They will mainly be used to supply this area. At least until we defeat Cecilielian and take control of the Strait of Malacca, we must maintain the current situation..." Lu Su relayed this information to Sun Ce based on the feedback he received from Chang'an. In this way, the Qiongzhou shipyard will naturally have no shortage of raw materials and will be able to build and produce ships.

However, doing so would also bring extremely high pressure, especially for places like Qingzhou, where the pressure would naturally be considerable.

Without large-scale ore transportation from the south, relying solely on local ore production in Qingzhou might allow for relatively low production levels, but it certainly wouldn't be able to operate at full capacity.

As a result, the country's shortage of minerals will naturally increase, and the impact on the country will become more and more severe.

In the long run, such a policy is not a good thing for the country as a whole.

However, given the current situation, such a policy change is beneficial to the continued development of the navy, strengthens its continuous combat capabilities, and enhances its ability to suppress the Kushan Empire.

Although the policy did not specify a timeframe, seemingly allowing it to continue indefinitely and even bring more terrifying benefits to the man, Lu Su was well aware that this timeframe was also limited.

If the Southern Navy still hasn't resolved the issue by the deadline, then the situation will likely be quite different.

Sun Ce, caught up in his excitement, was unaware of this, but Lu Su didn't care. After all, the person who truly acted as the strategist and intellectual leader in Sun Ce's forces was never Sun Ce, but Zhou Yu, who stood behind him.

Young, handsome, and talented, he is the kind of person many people can only dream of.

"Such a large investment?" Although Sun Ce did not know the exact number of ships transporting goods from south to north, he knew that the number was definitely not small.

In particular, each ship carries a considerable amount of ore, so the total amount brought by them will naturally be higher. Through policy changes, these things will come to Qiongzhou, allowing the region to develop and stand up faster, and play its due role and effect.

"Fortunately, it only caused a brief halt to the further development of Qingzhou Mining, thus ensuring the proper operation of the Qiongzhou Shipyard in the south." Lu Su nodded slightly, explaining the cost involved.

This price was both bearable and unbearable for the Han Empire at that time.

With the large-scale ore smelting sites in Bingzhou and Yizhou, the annual steel production capacity is enormous and is growing at a very rapid pace.

In particular, further inputting the steel produced in the drills into the steel plant can not only strengthen the structure itself, but also reduce time wastage in the process and increase efficiency.

These optimizations and improvements based on actual conditions have all contributed to further increases in production in these areas.

Regarding these increased production and output, Chen Xi stated that he would accept all offers, no matter how much.

Whether it's 100,000 tons a year, a million tons a year, or even ten million tons, it's manageable. But if it could reach 100 million tons, changing this era wouldn't be a big problem at all.

However, let alone hundreds of millions a year, even a million tons a year would be a very distant goal for the Han Empire at that time.

Even though the annual steel production in the Han Empire at this time had increased dozens of times compared to before, it still hadn't met the demand, nor reached its limit, and certainly hadn't reached the limit of this world! (End of Chapter)
