Their steps were hurried, their figures resolute. Some rushed to the supply storage area, carefully inspecting every piece of weaponry, equipment, and daily necessities, leaving no detail unchecked.

Some went to the shipyard to check the ship's performance with the craftsmen, repeatedly adjusting key parts with tools to ensure the warship was always in optimal condition.

Others organized personnel at the dock for final pre-battle drills, with resounding, powerful slogans echoing as if declaring their resolve to the enemy.

They harbored expectations for future naval victories and worked hard to build more warships.

With this successful example, subsequent construction work had a clear reference.

The craftsmen gathered together, enthusiastically discussing the details of the craft and sharing their operational experiences.

Experienced craftsmen guide young apprentices step by step, teaching them the skills of precisely splicing wooden planks and explaining how to make sails catch the sea breeze more efficiently.

With a little more effort and a faster pace, achieving the requirements set forth by King Jinrui Zhao by the middle of next year should not be difficult.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes sparkled with joy, and the entire shipbuilding workshop was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere.

They bustled about in the workshop, their steps light and quick, their tools wielded with even greater force, as if they could already see the glorious scene of receiving rewards after completing the task.

The news of the warship's successful launch and sea trials spread like wildfire throughout the capital.

Upon receiving this joyous news, the Emperor was so excited that he stood up from his dragon throne, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement and joy.

He paced back and forth in the imperial study, his mind filled with images of warships sailing the seas.

It was as if one could see the Tianxuan Navy majestically sailing on its warships, causing foreign enemies to flee at the mere sight of them.

However, the Crown Prince is currently on the Xiongnu border, leading his soldiers to resist foreign enemies and shouldering the important mission of protecting the country. He simply cannot get away from it.

If it weren't for this reason, he could have confidently let the Crown Prince oversee the country, and he could have gone to investigate without any worries.

Despite his anticipation being temporarily suppressed, the Emperor still managed to contain his excitement and, with a wave of his hand, issued an edict to send a large number of generous rewards to Haiyan County.

Precious silks, exquisite porcelains, and abundant gold and silver filled the carriages, which set off in a grand procession towards Haiyan County.

He comforted himself, thinking that since the ship had already been built, he would eventually have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.

Thinking this way, the emperor's anxiety eased a little.

At the same time, Qin Qianluo also received news that the warship had been successfully launched and had successfully completed its sea trials.

Upon hearing this good news, the book slipped from her hand, and a smile bloomed on her face that was even brighter than the spring flowers.

Her eyes sparkled with longing, and she was already envisioning the magnificent scene of herself setting sail after the warship was fully built.

She seemed to see herself standing at the bow of the ship, the sea breeze blowing freely through her hair.

The waves surged on both sides of the ship, and in the distance stretched an endless expanse of azure ocean, merging seamlessly with the sky where the water met the heavens.

It seems that as long as she waits patiently for a while longer until all the ships are built, she will be able to embark on her long-awaited sea voyage.

In Haiyan County, the warship that embodied the hard work of countless craftsmen was successfully launched and tested. Once the news spread, it spread like wildfire throughout the Tianxuan land.

In an instant, the entire Tianxuan was enveloped in this joyous news, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples of excitement.

To reward Haiyan County for its achievements, the Emperor ordered a large number of rare treasures and delicacies to be bestowed upon it.

These rewards were not only generous material rewards, but also a symbol of supreme honor, carrying the emperor's affirmation and praise for his subjects.

Upon hearing this, officials from various regions were instantly filled with intense desire.

They knew this was a rare opportunity to achieve outstanding results in their positions.

Gaining the emperor's favor and reward will surely pave a smooth road for one's official career.

Officials who are usually diligent and caring for the people are now working tirelessly, devoting themselves entirely to their duties.

They worked tirelessly, going deep into the fields and villages, talking warmly with the people, understanding their needs, guiding agricultural production, and teaching advanced planting techniques.

We strive to achieve a bumper harvest next year so that the people can live a prosperous life.

They also actively traveled to various villages to promote the repair and construction of water conservancy facilities, ensuring uninterrupted irrigation for farmland and laying a solid foundation for agricultural development.

Those officials who had previously been somewhat lax have also completely changed their lazy style under the strong impact of this trend.

They began to seriously examine their responsibilities, vigorously rectify public security, and crack down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities.

To ensure that the people under our jurisdiction can live and work in peace and contentment, in a safe and stable environment.

At the same time, they actively attracted investment, introduced a series of preferential policies, encouraged business development, promoted economic prosperity, and strived to enhance the overall strength of the counties.

In an instant, a bustling and busy scene unfolded throughout Tianxuan.

Each county is like a vibrant living organism, operating at full capacity thanks to the efforts of its officials, showcasing a thriving vitality and hope.

However, just as everyone in Tianxuan was immersed in this positive and busy atmosphere, an urgent battle report shattered the original peace and tranquility like a bombshell.

A peaceful village on the border of Youzhou was brutally massacred by barbarian tribes overnight, plunging the entire village into endless darkness and despair.
