During this period, the shipyard also became busy quickly.

The demand for warships is higher. Fortunately, a lot of large ships have been built before, and we can use them now by building some more.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the report and had an idea of ​​the situation of the warship.

The Qin warships are now equipped with steam engines, and their speed has increased several times. There are more large ships, and when the Maurya Empire is defeated in the future, these fast ships will also be able to transmit messages faster.

In addition to the news from the shipyard, Wang Yuan also sent various information from the rubber factory.

He also wrote a letter to resign from his position as factory director and wanted to follow Wang Li to attack the Maurya Empire.

The rubber factory has grown rapidly in recent years, bringing huge profits to Daqin. There is no doubt that Wang Yuan's ability is beyond doubt.

However, the Wang family is a family of military generals, so Zhao Qingrui can understand why Wang Yuan wants to go to the battlefield.

Zhao Qingrui was a little hesitant about whether to let Wang Yuan go.

The main reason was that there was no one to take over the rubber factory. Zhao Qingrui was well aware of the importance of rubber, so he had to arrange for a trustworthy and capable person to take over.

"What is Your Majesty worried about?" Shang Lian brought the memorial with him when he came over.

"Wang Yuan wants to join the Lingnan army and follow Wang Li to attack the Maurya Dynasty. There is no one who can take over the rubber factory for the time being. I am worried." Zhao Qingrui decided to approve Wang Yuan's request.

At present, all materials have not been fully prepared, especially powerful things like gunpowder. There are many troops guarding the border of the Qin Dynasty, and the demand for gunpowder is also high.

Although the bird gun has been developed, it is still in the experimental stage and cannot be promoted on a large scale.

"I do have a suitable candidate." Shang Lian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that His Majesty was worried about this matter.

"Who is it? Tell me about it." Zhao Qingrui asked with interest.

"It's Wei Xi. He is currently working as a Langguan in the Ministry of Revenue. I feel that he is not talented enough to be in this position." Shang Lian said seriously.

Wei Xi had actually forgotten about this person. When he was in the cabinet, he was always generous and measured in his work and could handle any problem with ease.

"Go and ask Wei Xi to come over." Zhao Qingrui looked at Shang Lian and said.

"I will go right away."

After a while, Wei Xi was brought over.

After leaving the cabinet, Wei Xi also went to the local area to gain experience for a few years. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted ahead of schedule.

"There's no need to be so polite, Wei Qing. Just sit down and I'd like to chat with you casually." Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi, who was wearing glasses and looked more like a modern elite.

Ever since Zhao Qingrui invented glasses, they have been loved by many scholars.

Especially now that there are more and more books of various kinds and more and more people with myopia, glasses have more uses.

Moreover, wearing glasses makes you look very gentle. Some people even wear plain glasses just to look good.

Of course, Wei Xi was not wearing plain glasses, he was really nearsighted.

The cabinet has a lot of affairs to deal with. After arriving at the local level, he worked very hard to achieve results. In addition to being busy with government affairs, he also worked hard to enrich himself. In his spare time, he would read various books.

He didn't have a strong background, so he had to work harder, and he ended up becoming nearsighted.

"I am terrified. Your Majesty, just tell me what you want me to do." Wei Xi said he was terrified, but his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.

"How are you doing in the Ministry of Revenue?" Zhao Qingrui asked gently.

"Very good, I have adapted well, and Lord Li is also very caring towards the officials of the Ministry of Revenue." Wei Xi said seriously.

"It's good that you've adapted. I heard that you are very comfortable with the affairs of the Ministry of Households. I wonder if you have any insights on managing a factory?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Wei Xi with burning eyes.

This person is also one of the candidates for the future six ministers of ministries, and Zhao Qingrui is very optimistic about him.

"I have some humble opinions. I have learned about some official factories of the Qin Dynasty. The internal management is like the imperial court. There are various departments related to the factory, all of which are designed to make the factory run better and avoid mistakes." Wei Xi briefly stated his views.

"Pa pa." Zhao Qingrui clapped his hands and sighed, "Yes, Wei Qing understands it very thoroughly. I am very pleased."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Wei Xi said calmly.

He grew up surrounded by all kinds of praise and has become accustomed to these compliments.

After entering the court, he realized that he was not the best, he still had many shortcomings, and there were many people who were better than him.

The more he learned, the more insignificant he felt, and the more humble he became.

"You should know that Wang Yuan was in charge of the rubber factory before. Now he is preparing to resign. I want you to take over the position of factory director. I wonder if you are willing?" Zhao Qingrui admired Wei Xi's humility and eagerness to learn. She was quite satisfied with many rising stars in the court.

Thanks to the great man, she learned so many things and understood the importance of enlightening the people. Otherwise, there would not be so many outstanding talents in the court now.

"Well, I have no experience in managing a factory and I'm afraid I'm not qualified." Wei Xi didn't expect that His Majesty would ask him to manage a rubber factory.

"It's okay. Wang Yuan also started out knowing nothing and has gotten to where he is now. Wang Yuan hasn't left yet. You can go over there and let him teach you more." Zhao Qingrui didn't think it was a big deal.

"Then, I will obey your command." Wei Xi agreed.

At the court meeting on the second day, Wei Xi received the appointment letter issued by Zhao Qingrui.

Walking out of Qilin Hall, Wei Xi looked at the appointment letter in his hand, then looked at Shang Lian, "Thank you, Lord Shang, for your recommendation."
