Da Qin: I exposed myself as a time traveler, why are you Zhao Gao panicking?

Chapter 216 The key to shipbuilding! Hemlock wood?

After hearing this, the craftsmen gathered around and carefully watched Qin Chi's changes.

They looked surprised and praised one after another: "Congratulations, sir! This will indeed solve our doubts and make the ship's hull more stable."

Qin Chi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "It's not my opinion, it's actually the result of the hard work of all the craftsmen. I'm just giving you a little reminder."

Qin Chi continued his inspection tour. Everywhere he visited, he was warmly welcomed by the craftsmen.

The craftsmen were both surprised and admired by his deep interest and superb insights into the development of iron-clad warships.

In front of a huge ship, Qin Chi stopped for a long time.

Although this ship has begun to take shape, its progress seems to be stagnant.

A middle-aged craftsman looked troubled and stepped forward to report: "Sir, during the development process of this ship, we encountered a big problem. We have tried many methods but failed to effectively solve it, so the progress has been hindered."

Qin Chi frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "What is the problem? I would like to hear the details."

The craftsman replied: "Sir, the hull of this ship is too large, and the wood required is huge and strong. However, although the wood we are looking for is huge, it is not strong enough to bear the weight of the warship. If other wood is used, Otherwise, the hull may not be strong and it will be difficult to withstand wind and waves.”

After hearing this, Qin Chi fell into deep thought.

He walked around the warship, carefully looked at its hull structure, and then said: "The problem of wood is indeed difficult. However, I have heard that there is a kind of wood called 'hemlock' in the south. It is hard enough to do the job." , I wonder if you have considered it?”

When the craftsmen heard this, their faces showed joy, but then their faces dimmed.

The middle-aged craftsman sighed: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true. We have also considered hemlock wood. However, this wood grows in the deep mountains of the south. It is extremely difficult to transport, and the imperial court has very strict control over the wood in the south." , it’s hard for us to get it.”

After hearing this, Qin Chi nodded and said: "I already know about this matter. You don't need to worry too much. I will personally write to the court to request the allocation of hemlock wood. At the same time, I will also send people to the south to assist you in purchasing wood." .”

When the craftsmen heard this, they all knelt down and thanked them: "Thank you, sir! Without your help, it would be difficult for us to solve this problem."

Qin Chi helped the craftsmen up and said with a smile: "You craftsmen are the treasures of the country. They develop warships and defend the country. Their contributions will last forever. The imperial court should give them their full support. You only need to concentrate on the research and development, and the rest will be taken care of by yourself." I share your worries."

As soon as these words came out, all the craftsmen burst into tears of gratitude and were full of respect for Qin Chi!

With Qin Chi's help, the craftsmen's confidence doubled, and they all expressed that they would do their best to develop the most advanced armored warships for the Qin Dynasty.

After several days, Enke finally achieved perfection.

The two selections for the martial arts examination and the imperial examination were like panning for gold in the sand, selecting batches of talented people for the Qin Dynasty.

On this day, the First Emperor drove to Xianyang Palace and conferred titles in order to fill the vacancies in the court.

The court bell rang, and all the officials gathered together and stood on both sides.

The First Emperor was majestic, sitting on the emperor's couch, his eyes like torches scanning his highness' new talents.

They may be majestic or elegant, and they are all the future pillars of the Qin Dynasty.

"I know that the only way to govern a country is to win people. It is indeed our great fortune that you have passed the imperial examination and the military examination."

"On this occasion, I would like to enthrone you and others to conspire with the world."

Zu Long spoke slowly, his voice loud and majestic.

Upon hearing this, the new talents knelt down and knelt down one after another and thanked them in unison: "I would like to thank you for your kindness! I am willing to be loyal to your majesty and serve the Qin Dynasty!" Zulong nodded and smiled, motioning for them to stand down.

Then, he began to read out the canonization decree one by one: "Li Quan, who is quick in thinking and capable in both civil and military affairs, is specially appointed as editor of the Hanlin Academy to assist me in discussing state affairs."

"Ying Bu, who has outstanding martial arts skills and is brave enough to be the leader of the three armies, is specially appointed as a school captain to command the imperial army and protect the capital."

"Ji Bu, you are loyal, diligent, honest and dedicated to the public affairs. I am specially appointed as the county governor to govern the country and comfort the people. You should uphold justice, work diligently and love the people, and ensure that the people under your rule live and work in peace and contentment. I hope you will abide by your duties and live up to my trust." .”

……

Every time a decree is read out, one person comes out to kneel down and accept the canonization.

Zulong carefully arranges vacant positions according to their talents and specialties, so that everyone can play their greatest role in their positions.

After the canonization, the new talents knelt down and worshiped again, thanking the First Emperor for his kindness.

Their hearts were filled with excitement and expectations, and they were determined to fulfill their duties for Da Qin.

Zu Long looked at their young and energetic faces, and his heart was filled with relief and expectation.

After retiring from the court, Li Si and Qin Chi followed Zulong to Zhangtai Palace to discuss state affairs.

The palace is majestic, majestic and solemn, fully displaying the royal majesty.

The three of them were seated separately as guest and host. The attendant served the tea and stood aside.

Zulong spoke first and said in a deep voice: "I have thought about the matter of Baiyue discussed by the ministers before, and I think it is very important. Qin Aiqing, what are your opinions?"

When Qin Chi heard the words, he nodded slightly and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the land of Baiyue is a difficult problem in our Central Plains. Although arrangements have been made for relocation and reclamation before, the people's hearts are not yet settled, and it is difficult to maintain long-term stability. I think that in order to make Baiyue completely To return home, we not only rely on force and decrees, but also need to pay attention to the aspirations of the people."

He paused and then said: "The so-called 'sense of belonging' is to make the people of Baiyue feel that they are also a part of the people of Daqin. This needs to start from various aspects such as culture, education, legal system, etc., and gradually cultivate Of."

Li Si nodded in agreement and said: "What Mr. Qin said is absolutely true. The customs and customs of the Baiyue Land are very different from those of the Central Plains. If we force the Central Plains to govern, it may not be effective. We must use softness to overcome hardness and impart education before we can conquer it." Its heart.”

After hearing this, Zulong pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What the two ministers said is very much in line with my wishes. Since the land of Baiyue has entered the territory of our Great Qin, we must find ways to make the people's hearts return to it. This cannot be done overnight. We need to take a long-term approach.”

Qin Chi was very pleased to see that Zulong had adopted his opinion.

He knew the importance of the Baiyue Land and the difficulty of assimilating its people.

I saw Zulong staring deeply in thought, and then asked: "How to implement the education of belonging that Qin Qing mentioned?"

His voice is majestic yet full of exploration.

Qin Chi was in awe, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the way to enlightenment is to establish teaching first. Schools should be set up widely in the land of Baiyue, and talented people should be selected as teachers to teach the laws, etiquette and Confucian classics of the Qin Dynasty. This move aims to make the people of Baiyue know the law, understand etiquette, feel awe in their hearts, and gradually integrate into our Daqin culture."

As soon as these words came out, a look of shock flashed in Zulong's eyes. He never thought that Qin Chi could come up with such a thorough plan.

Li Si also looked surprised, obviously surprised by Qin Chi's answer.
