Li Zicheng traveled to Fuzhou, and Li Ji sent a message: The whole of Guangxi had surrendered without a fight, and the fourth and ninth battalions had taken control of Guangxi.

He just smiled faintly, he was not worried about the matter in the southwest, it was nothing more than the length of time, there was no interference from foreign enemies, the Heavenly Mandate Army concentrated the fourth, eighth, and ninth battalions in the Yun and Gui regions, is the target just Yun and Gui?

He replied to Li Ji, with only four words: move from time to time!

Li Zicheng continued to rush back, wanting to go back to Beijing to pass the new yuan, obviously it was too late, he thought about it on horseback for a while, and decided to spend the new yuan in Songjiang.

The Jinshan Shipyard in Songjiang is larger than expected, with hundreds of specialized workers, most of whom are working overtime to produce "Chengdu-class" warships, and a small half is expanding the wharf with the local recruitment.

Because of the short time coming, the construction of the dock took a lot of time, although they worked day and night, but the hulls of the two "Chengdu-class" battleships had just been completed and had not yet been launched, let alone the installation of decks, naval guns, masts and other equipment.

Cao Jian is no longer the director of the shipyard, but the director of the R&D department, with the title of deputy director, the new director is called Chen Liang, who was originally a small official in Songjiang Prefecture, nearly forty years old, although he is capable, but lacks the background # of the scene, it is difficult to develop in his career.

When Li Zicheng arrived at the Songjiang Jinshan Shipyard, it was already the 29th day of the lunar month, and when he passed through Hangzhou in order to come to the shipyard to celebrate the New Year, he specially bypassed most of the Taihu Lake from the eastern coast.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jinshan City is lit up with lights and the sound of firecrackers is endless.

As soon as it was dark, Li Zicheng said goodbye to the old and welcomed the new year with the hundreds of official workers in the shipyard.

Because there was no large enough indoor restaurant, the factory temporarily built a huge tent with thick canvas outside the restaurant, and dozens of tables of eight immortals were placed in the tent.

The lights were brilliant, the figures were flickering, and everyone who participated in the banquet had a smile on their faces and looked extremely excited.

He Xiaomi's pro-soldiers with two small flags followed closely behind Li Zicheng, and the rest of the pro-soldiers set up a military camp tent not far from the restaurant.

Soldiers have a way of celebrating the new dollar, drinking in big bowls, eating meat, and bragging and farting with their companions......

The chief is not in the center, but in the southernmost part of the tent, near the sea.

Li Zicheng naturally sat down, and He Xiaomi and others stood behind him like pines and cypresses, not only blocking the cold wind outside the tent, but also the emperor's most loyal guard; Chen Liang, the director of the factory, accompanied him on the opposite throne, and he knew that the emperor valued Cao Jian very much, so he pushed Cao Jian to sit in the position of "one seat", and he was the second most honorable person after the emperor.

Next to Cao Jian were two young people from the R&D department, Yan Chengzhong and Huang Xi, students who graduated from Xining High School. They are now Cao Jian's students, and they are also the technical backbone of the R&D department.

Opposite Cao Jian, there were three yellow-haired, blue-eyed Westerners, no need for Chen Liang to introduce them, Li Zicheng knew that they were all Dutch, both important technicians in the shipyard, and originally prisoners of war in the South China Sea Fleet.

They were all invited by Li Zicheng by name.

When summoning Cao Jian yesterday, Li Zicheng learned from Cao Jian's mouth that the artillery of the latest two "Chengdu-class" warships has increased from the original 16 to 32, and these Dutch have made great contributions!

Li Zicheng had a mind at that time, and shaped these Dutchmen as typical: those who serve Huaxia, Huaxia will never treat him badly!

He immediately expressed his position, canceled their prisoner of war status, and assigned them an independent house, if they wanted, they could also join the Chinese nationality, marry a wife and have children in China!

In order to let these Dutchmen feel the warmth of "comrades" and integrate into the atmosphere of the shipyard as soon as possible, Li Zicheng specially asked Cao Jian to invite three Dutchmen to participate in the banquet and share the banquet with him.

What are the feelings of these three Dutchmen, He Xiaomi doesn't know, he only knows to protect the emperor's safety, there are hundreds of people in the tent, and there are three Westerners, he doesn't dare to relax for a moment.

Chen Liang was frustrated in the officialdom, but he refound his position in the shipyard and had the opportunity to sit at the same table with the emperor, feeling both nervous and excited, and reluctantly picked up the wine bowl with trembling hands, prompting everyone to salute Li Zicheng together.

When he wanted to toast again, he was stopped by Li Zicheng, "Director Chen, I came to the shipyard to celebrate the new yuan, not only to accept your welcome, but also to express my gratitude to you supervisors, for the shipyard, for the South China Sea Fleet, for China, you are fortunate, this bowl of wine, I salute you!"

I was stunned for a moment at the banquet, how could the emperor toast him?

It was Cao Jian who came to his senses first, and stabbed Yan Chengzhong beside him under the table, and Yan Chengzhong stabbed Huang Xi again, and everyone came to their senses and raised the wine bowl in their hands one after another.

Cao Jiandao: "Thank you for your kindness, the emperor, the grass people will remember the emperor's words!" Tilt your neck and dry it in one bite!

Chen Liang and the others also did it, and the three Dutchmen also did it, nodding their heads and muttering something.

When the soldiers were pouring wine, Li Zicheng thought of something, and hurriedly said to the three Dutchmen: "Whether you are willing to join the Chinese nationality or not, from today onwards, you will be paid equally with the technical personnel of Huaxia, and if there are outstanding contributions, there will be special rewards!"

When the three Dutchmen heard the rumors of the interpreter, they were all suspicious, and after receiving affirmative confirmation, they all thanked Li Zicheng: thank the emperor for canceling their prisoner of war status, restoring them to free people, and getting the opportunity to get equal pay for equal work with the Chinese!

The three of them looked at each other, muttered quietly for a while, and then announced: They asked to join the Huaxia nationality and change the Huaxia name!

Li Zicheng was happy for a while, and he agreed to their request and gave the three of them names: Li Youwei, Zhao Quanxing, and Liu Xilai!

Chen Liang's eyes rolled, and he seemed to understand Li Zicheng's thoughts, and hurriedly passed the word to the three through the translator: "Li" is the national surname of Huaxia and the national surname of the Tang Dynasty, "Zhao" is the national surname of the Great Song Dynasty, and "Liu" is the national surname of the Han Dynasty!

Li Youwei, Zhao Quanxing, and Liu Xilai asked about the situation, and they were all overjoyed, and they took the initiative to kowtow to Li Zicheng to thank him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the workers were stretching their necks to watch the excitement, Li Zicheng picked up a full bowl of wine, "Everyone, you are working hard for China, even Xinyuan, I use this bowl of wine to express my deep gratitude to you, come, do it!" With a tilt of his neck, he dried all the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and turned the wine bowl upside down, but there was not a drop left.

The audience was silent for a while, they were all stunned, the first to wake up, still can't believe such a reality, someone pinched his thighs and face with his hands, and was scolded by his companions, only to know that he pinched the wrong one, and replaced it with his own thighs and face and pinched again.

Pain!

It's all true!

Chen Liang also raised his glass, "Brothers workers, the emperor toasts, this is a great grace, come, it's all done!"

Only then did the workers raise the wine bowls, no matter where they sit, they were all pointing in the direction of Li Zicheng, no matter how big or small the amount of wine was, they were all dry......

I don't know who started it, the workers left their seats one after another and knelt down in the tent, "Thank you, Emperor!"

There are even many workers who have moved their minds, this is a wine bowl to drink with the emperor, if it is secretly taken home, they can brag with their wives and children in the future......

The tent was in a mess for a while, thanks to the emperor's affection, thanks to the emperor for letting them live a better life, and thanks to the emperor for giving them a sense of being a man......

are all words of thanks, as well as more exaggerated body language, He Xiaomi is very nervous, almost covering most of Li Zicheng's body.

Li Zicheng pushed He Xiaomi away with a smile and arched his hand to everyone: "It's Huaxia, it's Huaxia that makes you live a better life!" While thanking the workers for their hard work, he also promoted the Chinese country to the workers!

Perhaps the workers do not have a sense of "country", but as long as everyone makes a little progress, over time, they will eventually identify with their country;

Maybe they are not the best workers, they work hard, just for their own pay, but after this Chinese New Year's Eve feast, who can say that they will not develop in a better and more dedicated direction?

The mother-in-law said that a good daughter-in-law is boastful; Teachers say that good students are boastful.

Even if she is not a good daughter-in-law or a good student, she will develop in a good direction if she has been praised many times, and she is embarrassed not to develop, and it seems to have disappointed the expectations of many people!

Isn't that the case with workers?

But Li Zicheng knows that only verbal encouragement is actually difficult to last, and the biggest reward for the people comes from benefits and materials!

He announced in public: The shipyard will have a three-day holiday, all the workers will be given two taels of silver for the New Year's fee, and the technicians, including three Dutchmen, will be five taels!

There is a lot of jubilation in the canvas tent, there are three days off, plus two taels of silver, this new dollar, you can buy a dress for the mother-in-law, and the children can buy a few more flowers in addition to buying clothes......

Tonight's food is free, all-you-can-drink, plus excitement, in less than half an hour, there are many people lying on the table and snoring, if you look closely, there are people under the table.

At this time, the same table is the most ruthless, patronizing drinking, eating, and grateful, where is there still the heart to take care of the drunk companion? In the middle of the night, the banquet gradually dispersed, except for a few people who leaned and supported each other to go home, most of them slept in the tent.

Li Zicheng was worried that these people would catch a cold at night, but Chen Liang said that they would not catch a cold after drinking liquor for half the night! He instructed the sober workers to pile the drunkards in some warmth, fetch a large canvas, wrap it from the outside to protect it from the wind, and departed himself.

Jinshan City is still a military city, there is no county, the people in the city, basically are shipyard workers, because of the large population, equivalent to a relatively large town, most of the residents have a fixed income, the city has always been relatively prosperous.

At the time of the New Year, these markets were originally closed, but after the news spread that the emperor had given the shipyard workers a holiday and paid money, some shrewd merchants opened their doors on the first day of the first lunar month.

Sure enough, the workers who got the money took their wives and children to wander around the market, and by the way bought some food, cloth, and ceremonial flowers that they were reluctant to buy......

The city is even more lively, especially the children in new clothes, walking in groups and walking through the market, showing off all kinds of toys in their hands from time to time, as well as butterfly-shaped and bird-shaped flowers......

is an adult, when he invites a guest to dinner, he is more confident than before, drinking wine and eating food, and accidentally thinking about the emperor's goodness, one by one is more chatty than a woman.

At this time, the women in the family were speechless, just smiling on their faces, thinking in their hearts that when they went to bed at night, they had to persuade their men to work hard in the factory and never let down the emperor's kindness.

The women stopped taking soles for the time being, and during the New Year, they also gave themselves a few days off, and they didn't have to do anything but serve their men and children.

If only there was a theater garden in the city......
