"A hundred? How about two hundred?" Qin Ziwen asked directly.
Li Tieshan was shocked but quickly agreed. "Yes! Absolutely!"
"Good. I'll give you the men, but make sure the iron plating production doesn't fall behind. By the way, the plates for the ship's hull should be thicker. We don't want them to crack after just one hit from a Sea Beast."
"Rest assured, My Lord! Just leave it to me!" Li Tieshan boomed, thumping his chest in assurance.
As for the men, the Qin Alliance had plenty of able-bodied youths.
Besides, they were all stuck on this reef. Other than foraging for small seafood at low tide, most people had almost nothing to do on a daily basis.
Most of the labor force was idle and going to waste.
Having them join the Military Equipment Supervisor would give the energetic young men something to do with their pent-up energy, while also putting their labor to good use and increasing shipbuilding efficiency.
