Xu Lie and the newly appointed Deputy Commander Wu Qianchuan emerged from the shipyard. Under the Emperor's urging and with Xu Lie's willingness to invest money and delegate authority, the shipbuilding progress was remarkably swift. Many small and medium-sized vessels had already set sail for testing, while large ocean-going ships were being constructed with great urgency.
When faced with Xu Lie's inquiry, Wu Qianchuan did not hesitate to provide a conclusion: it was barely manageable. He then elaborated further: the soldiers summoned from the interior by His Highness were mostly willing to endure hardships, and the training results were promising. However, mastering naval warfare could not be achieved in a day. He earnestly requested His Highness for more time or, if possible, to recruit soldiers from the coastal regions.
Wu Qianchuan found himself puzzled as to why the Prince would go through such trouble, especially by bringing people from the interior for training. Instead of making a significant investment with minimal returns, it would be more practical to recruit locally, where at least people knew how to swim and wouldn’t be seasick. Just like him and his subordinates, most of whom were from Xia Cheng, who were currently training those soldiers in swimming.
Without needing to voice his thoughts, Xu Lie could read Wu Qianchuan's confusion on his face: this was merely a procedure. If they were to establish Kaihai, it couldn’t just be about coastal trade; the people of Da Qian needed to venture out. Were there really that many people along the coast? Ultimately, wouldn’t they still rely on the interior for population support? Rather than exerting effort later on, it would be better to set a fixed training process from the start.
Wu Qianchuan felt a chill run down his spine—did Da Qian’s people really need to venture out? What did the Prince mean by that? Was he suggesting relocating Da Qian’s population overseas? What was the purpose behind this?
Faced with Xu Lie's profound gaze, Wu Qianchuan dared not ponder further: Yes! I will definitely handle this matter well! Regardless of what the Prince was planning, it had nothing to do with him. Sometimes knowing too much wasn’t beneficial; all he needed to do was fulfill his duties well, Wu Qianchuan reassured himself.
Then he said, "I will leave it to you, Wu Qianshi." After understanding the training process, Xu Lie bid farewell to Wu Qianchuan and returned to his residence in Xia Cheng. Upon arrival, he saw A Gang waiting at the entrance with a cheerful expression: "Your Highness! We have successfully brought back the people; they are waiting inside."
"You’ve worked hard all the way here," Xu Lie acknowledged, sensing A Gang’s eagerness. Adjusting his expression slightly before stepping into the residence, he walked inside while A Gang obediently followed a couple of steps behind.
Passing through the front yard, crossing the corridor, and stepping into the hall, only Song Qiao and the monitored Chen Tao were seated. The barrage of comments quickly surged.
"Oh wow, so this is the prince! Quite handsome!"
"Wait, isn't that the bomb genius Xu Lie? Why is he here? Wearing a wig and ancient attire, they look so similar—are they the same actor?!"
"Bomb genius? Which show is that from? Bro, tell me more; I'm getting interested."
Xu Lie's expression remained unchanged, still wearing a calm smile. Since the first Script World of "Not Allowed to Fall in Love," he had practiced maintaining his composure, unaffected by the barrage of comments.
Yet, in his heart, he recalled a statement from the Employee Handbook. The audience outside the Script World did not come from the same realm; they were from various worlds within a multiverse, all watching the films and television dramas produced by Si.
Si provided actors with artificial personas—highly intelligent Bionic Persons—placed into these worlds to prevent viewers from realizing that these actors did not actually exist in reality.
Xu Lie had never expected that after just one drama, he would gain a few young fans who could recognize him in long hair and ancient attire.
Setting aside the audience's comments for now, Chen Tao was the priority. Xu Lie retracted his wandering thoughts and moved to sit in the front position.
