Chapter 116.2
Lin Beifan did not stay for the entire lesson, as he had to return to the palace to attend to official duties.
After a few days, Heshen arrived to see Lin Beifan with a face full of joy.
Report to Your Majesty, the team we sent out to recruit shipbuilders has returned! On this trip, we have recruited a total of 1,241 experienced shipbuilding masters and successfully completed the task you entrusted to us!
Lin Beifan was overjoyed: Excellent! These are all talented individuals. Bring me to see them at once!
Your Majesty, please follow me!
In about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, Lin Beifan arrived at the city gate and saw the grand return of the shipbuilding team.
It looked to be about five or six thousand people, many more than what Heshen had reported.
Because most of them had come with their families in tow. It was quite normal for a master craftsman to bring several family members along.
They had arrived in a new land to make a living, and they seemed somewhat timid
For Lin Beifan, these were all talents! If used well, the shipbuilding industry of Great Xia could take off rapidly!
His Majesty has arrived, why have you not come forward to pay your respects? someone shouted.
They hurriedly knelt down and said in unison, We pay our respects to His Majesty, long live the emperor!
Lin Beifan smiled, Please rise, everyone! We warmly welcome the shipbuilding masters who have come from afar, as well as your families! Your willingness to come such a long distance to support Great Xia fills me with great comfort and joy! I hereby solemnly promise
Lin Beifans expression turned serious: Every shipbuilding master will be awarded a concrete house! In addition, each shipbuilding master present will receive ten taels of silver as a settling-in allowance!
In addition, the wages for your work here are 500 wen per month! If a large ship is built, I will also have rewards for you! In short, the more you work, the more you earn, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!
The group of people thanked him with joy on their faces: Thank you, Your Majesty!
Lin Beifan laughed heartily: No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. From now on, just focus on building ships for me!
Heshen, its up to you to settle them in next. Do not neglect them, understand? Lin Beifan instructed seriously.
Heshen bowed with a smile: Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already made arrangements! The cement houses are ready, and the tables, beds, and cotton quilts inside are also prepared. They can move in immediately!
Good! Minister, I have always been confident in your work!
Subsequently, these shipbuilders who had traveled from afar settled down in Great Xia.
After three days of acclimatization, they began to build ships.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
If all went well, the first batch of ships made by Great Xia could be launched in three months.
.
Could it be that the foolish emperor has fed them some sort of enchanting drug?
She also saw that the women here actually had jobs organized to weave.
She was furious. Even the delicate women were not spared, even they were exploited. Is he still human?
Foolish emperor! A great big foolish emperor!
Worse than a beast!
However, seeing the happy smiles on the womens faces, she became perplexed again.
Why are you so happy when the foolish emperor exploits you so?
Could it be that you are truly willing?
Unknowingly, evening came, and she discovered that there was no curfew here; it became even livelier than during the day!
Various stalls and vendors filled the streets.
The lights were brilliant, illuminating the marketplace, so bustling and beautiful.
Another family, holding hands, came out and then strolled along, chasing and frolicking, their laughter filling the streets.
Some fireworks were set off, blossoming in the sky, exceptionally beautiful.
She watched the bustling and lively scene and once again felt bewildered!
How closely this bustling scene resembled the magnificent empire from her dreams!
Yet the ruler of this scene was not the wise monarch of her imagination but rather the notoriously foolish emperor spoken of by others!
Is Heaven playing a joke on me?
