"Your Majesty, the people of Yangzhou are most proud of the fact that the ancestral home of the Great Qin Imperial Family is Yangzhou. Moreover, the Qin ancestral grave has already been protected by the people of Yangzhou.”
"That's right, if we weren't from the same hometown as Your Majesty, it would have been difficult for us to work in Great Qin!”
"We've been in Great Qin for 12 years. Last year, we got our Profession Skills Certificate, and this year, we can become citizens.”
Seeing Qin Zhen's easy-going smile, the workers became much bolder. They chatted with each other in Yangzhou dialect.
Qin Zhen felt a headache coming on. He smiled bitterly and said,""You guys should speak Mandarin! I don't understand Yangzhou dialect."
Before he transmigrated, there was no Mandarin in the Great Qin Empire and the Republic of China. The official language of the Great Qin Empire was Beiping, and the official language of the Republic of China was also Beiping. They spoke with some accent and were very irregular.
Therefore, after Qin Zhen ascended the throne, he immediately issued a decree to promote simplified Mandarin throughout the country and included it in the college entrance examination. He also promoted the Chinese Pinyin.
Mandarin with standard pronunciation was easy to learn, and simplified Chinese characters were even easier to learn. It was also very convenient to write. In just a year, most of the citizens had learned most of it.
When the Republic of China saw that Mandarin was so good and standard, they also used Hanyu Pinyin to enlighten children and vigorously promoted Mandarin and simplified characters. Even foreigners who learned Chinese learned to pronounce Mandarin and write simplified characters.
"Uh, Your Majesty, I'm sorry. We're used to speaking in a dialect and can't change it in a short time.”
One of the older workers scratched his head and explained in fluent Mandarin.
The factory stipulated that they had to communicate in Mandarin during work. The words on the machines and equipment and the words on the documents were all simplified characters. They were all familiar with it. It was only when they saw Qin Zhen, the emperor who was also from Yangzhou, that they were so excited that they spoke in Mandarin.
"Haha, it's fine. Are you used to Great Qin?”
"I'm used to it, very used to it. When we first came, the factory provided us with food and lodging. After working for five or six years, we all bought houses in the suburbs.”
Qin Zhen smiled and reached out to pick up a screw from the workbench.
"Since you're ready to become a citizen of Great Qin, you have to change your mindset and learn the laws of Great Qin. You can't do anything that violates the law!”
"Also, Great Qin respects the spirit of craftsmen, and being meticulous and meticulous is a quality that every worker must have. I hope that you will remember this.”
The workers nodded like chickens.
Everyone knew that Great Qin's craftsmen were even more meticulous than the Germanic people, which was why Great Qin's products were so popular in the world.
The quality was excellent, and the workmanship was exquisite. Even the farmers who had not seen the world knew that they had to buy Great Qin's products. The products of the people of Bai Yang could not compare to those made by Great Qin.
"Alright, work hard. Remember, wealth is earned with your own hands. In Great Qin, you don't have to worry; as long as you're willing to work hard, you'll be able to live a carefree life.”
As he spoke, Qin Zhen, who was 1.86 meters tall and tall, stepped forward and patted the shoulders of the workers one by one.
The workers were flattered and moved to tears.
It was one thing for officials to be amiable and humble, but even the high and mighty Emperor was so close to the people.
Only in Great Qin did they know that they were humans and not commoners who did not have any human rights.
It wasn't until Qin Zhen walked away that the workers came back to their senses. They wiped their tears and whispered to each other about their excitement and joy.
"Sigh, Great Qin is still the best! We should have come to Great Qin earlier!"
"That's right. Once the citizenship application is approved, the child can enter a public school for free.”
"Hahaha, work hard! This time, we signed a confidentiality agreement. We can't say anything when we go home. His Majesty has treated us well. We definitely can't do anything to let His Majesty down.”
"Of course. If the Westerners knew that so many warships were being built at the same time, wouldn't they be scared out of their wits? Hahaha!"
"Great Qin is really powerful! Tsk, tsk, tsk, the shipyards in the shipyard were all full. More than a hundred large aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, and destroyer were being built at the same time. This strength was something that Westerners could not even catch up to.”
"Only when there is a country can there be a home. When the country is strong, we commoners will have a good life. He had to complete the welding of these two water-tight cabins before he got off work.”
"Alright, wait for me to drink some water."
……
In front of them, Qin Zhen refused to take a car. He walked along the dock and looked around. Deng Zhigao kept introducing the shipyard. He knew the shipyard like the back of his hand.
The group of people strolled for half an hour until Qin Zhen's legs were a little sore. Finally, they arrived at No. 01…dock.
At this moment, in the huge dock, hundreds of navy officers and thousands of engineers had already lined up and gathered, waiting for Qin Zhen's arrival.
The 100,000-ton No. 01 dry dock would build the Xianyang class heavy aircraft carrier No. 001.
Pa!
When Qin Zhen entered, all the generals and officers stood at attention and saluted. The engineers and workers bowed.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony of cutting the steel plate is ready. Do you want to say a few words?”
Qin Zhen teased," The atmosphere has already reached this point. If I don't say a few words, wouldn't it be a waste of everyone's expressions?”
He walked towards the microphone.
"Sorry for making everyone wait!”
As soon as he said this, everyone smiled and clapped.
Qin Zhen raised his hand in front of everyone's eyes, and the scene immediately became silent.
"I don't know how to give a long speech. You guys probably don't want to hear it.”
"I only want to say one thing. From today onwards, the Xianyang Shipyard, Chang 'an Shipyard, and Tianlan Shipyard will take on the arduous task of rebuilding the Imperial Navy.”
"As the world's oldest maritime power, Great Qin doesn't have a powerful navy to protect its national security. It's like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. I'm sure everyone understands this.”
"Thus, I'll be counting on everyone here. I believe that all of you outstanding engineers will be able to overcome the difficulties and work hard to build a world-class warship for the Empire, continuing the glory of Great Qin's Royal Navy!”
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Long live His Majesty! Long live Great Qin! Long live the navy!
The thunderous roar resounded through the dock, each wave louder than the last!
Amidst the cheers, Qin Zhen bowed and walked forward. Together with the Navy Commander, Qi Yangsong, they cut off the steel plate fixed to the machine.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The steel plate landed on the ground, and the navy honor guard soldiers fired their colorful cannons at the same time!
The colorful papers that filled the sky indicated that Great Qin's navy reconstruction plan had officially begun.
Three years, three years at most! A navy that could contend against the western powers would sail out of Xianyang Military Port, and the Great Qin Dragon Flag would once again float above the four oceans.
