As for the Silver Taels needed to build the ships, hadn't the two of them found ten thousand taels of Gold in the cellar at Gaoling Village? Those items were just numbers sitting in their space; they might as well take this opportunity to bring them out.
"I've already sent people to look," Gu Wenheng said, "but so far, no one dares to take on this kind of work."
The main issue was that no one had ever seen such ships before. Feeling uncertain, they were afraid of taking on the responsibility.
Jin Qianqian hesitated for a moment. "Let's not limit ourselves to this area. Do you think we could hand the blueprints over to the Emperor? The entire realm is his; it would definitely be much more convenient for him to find the right people than for us."
Gu Wenheng had considered this issue as well. "That is an option. I'm just afraid the officials in the Capital won't do their jobs properly and will end up suppressing the matter instead."
