Qingliu, who had been standing by and listening quietly, was suddenly called.
Qingliu was shocked to find out that it was Lord Wang who recommended him to be the master of the workshop.
Zhao Jun looked at Wang Deng who proposed the candidate, and had to say that his idea coincided with hers.
"Oh, why did Lord Wang think it was appropriate?"
Mr. Zhao wanted to hear Wang Deng's reasons.
"Qingliu has been studying in our Nei Shi Mansion before, and she also helped me for a period of time. It can be seen that she is a girl with clear thinking and careful words and actions. I think there is no problem with her."
Wang Deng knew clearly that Lady Zhao must want one of her people to take this position, and his proposal should be exactly what she wants.
"What about the other three adults? Do you think she is okay?"
Zhao Jun looked at the other commanders again.
"I have no objection." Bai Fang replied.
"I have no objection either." Guo Hu also nodded.
Originally, this position was not decided by them. Now that someone has proposed an ideal candidate, all they have to do is go with the flow.
Zhao Jun glanced at the two of them without saying anything.
"I think Miss Qingliu is indeed bold and careful, a serious girl, but after all, she is in charge of an entire factory alone. I wonder if she can't control the situation. If she can't control the people below her, then..."
Tukang spoke truthfully.
Zhao Jun glanced at him and found that Tu Kang was the only one who was not afraid of offending others, and he was the only one who dared to speak the truth. The other two were not bad people, but they had been officials for a long time and were inevitably smooth.
"What Tu Zhangling said makes sense. What you said is also what I am worried about."
The issue Tu Kang mentioned was indeed something that Zhao Jun cared about.
"Qing Liu, I prefer you for the position of the abbey master, but what Tu Zhangling said also makes sense."
She looked at Qingliu who had been standing silently beside her and said.
"So, although I've decided to temporarily appoint you as the head of the papermaking workshop, I'll be evaluating you once a month. If you don't perform well, I'll fire you immediately and find someone else to take your place. Is that okay with you?"
"Your Excellency, I am willing to try. If I cannot do it well, I will take your leave."
Qingliu immediately knelt down and answered earnestly.
The adults have helped me so much, so I must do my best.
What needs to be said has been said, and what needs to be done has been assigned.
Now we just have to wait for the Mohists to finish training the workers, and then the workshop can operate normally.
Another week passed, and the training at the Mohist school was basically completed, and everyone had mastered the papermaking process.
Zhao Jun counted the days and planned to hold a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the workshop.
"Cutting the ribbon?"
Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
He was holding a new memorial and looking at it. Nowadays, memorials have basically been completely replaced by paper, and there is no trace of bamboo slips.
"Yes, the preparations for the workshop are basically complete. I want to hold a grand event the day after tomorrow, which will also be a recruitment drive for Xianyang."
Zhao Jun said that she would definitely make a big splash when opening this first handicraft workshop.
There will definitely be more and more factories opened in the future. Now we must give the people a good start and let them know that opening workshops can generate income for everyone.
"You do it, I have no objection."
Ying Zheng has now become accustomed to her weird ideas, and as long as they are not excessive, he lets her do whatever she wants.
"I know you don't mind." Zhao Jun said indifferently, his tone casual.
Of course she knew that Ying Zheng had no objection, and she came to see him for something.
"Oh, I need your help."
Ying Zheng had become accustomed to the occasional rude remarks of the King of Zhao.
I also know her face of being Zhong Wuyan when there is trouble and Xia Yingchun when there is nothing to do.
So I decided to tease her.
"Yes, of course I have something to ask the king." Zhao Jun said with a smile.
"Oh, if you have something to say, call me the king, if you don't, just call me you, your face changes so quickly."
Ying Zheng raised his forced smile and asked her in an ambiguous tone.
"Ahem, my king, don't worry about these details. It's because you don't bother with me."
Zhao Jun was stung by his smile, and silently moved his body back twice while sitting forward.
"Humph, you also know that I won't bother with you. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Ying Zheng ended this rare moment of joking and said seriously.
Zhao Jun, who was sitting next to him, was surprised. Your expression changed so quickly...
"It's like this. When cutting the ribbon, we need someone who's well-known, powerful, and able to control the situation to come and speak. This way it will seem more formal, so..."
"Do you really want me to come in person?"
That’s not the case. Zhao Jun hasn’t decided on the candidate yet.
But if Ying Zheng went in person, wouldn’t it be too much of a fuss? If people around him didn’t dare to come, it would be counterproductive.
"Of course not. It would be too grand for your Majesty to come here in person. Besides, there are so many people here. What if one of them has ill intentions against you?" Zhao Jun quickly added.
"So, I'm here to ask the king if there is a suitable candidate."
"Apart from me, the only one left is Li Si." Ying Zheng replied.
Zhao Jun thought about it and thought, well, it seems there is no one else except him.
"Well, then it's only the Prime Minister."
The King of Zhao turned around and told Li Si about this matter. When Li Si heard that the king also agreed, he did not refuse.
Soon the day of the ribbon-cutting arrived.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony that Zhao Jun envisioned was equivalent to an announcement ceremony. There would be no modern ceremony of cutting red cloth with scissors, and no one would understand it.
However, she asked people from the Imperial Household Department to go to the streets and beat drums and gongs to announce this matter.
