The ribbon-cutting ceremony was successfully completed, and the only thing left was recruitment.
Zhao Jun didn't take care of the recruitment for the time being and directly let Qingliu and the people from the Neishi Mansion handle it.
I have already told them the recruitment requirements and details before, let them implement it themselves, after all, they need experience.
She greeted Li Si and saw him off while talking to the people next to her.
"Xuan Yang, thank you for your hard work. I may have to trouble your people to maintain order from now on."
Zhao Jun walked to Xuan Yang and greeted him after not seeing him for a long time.
"What trouble is there? Lord Zhao, you are joking. The brothers haven't thanked you yet. The king gave each of us a reward last time. Today's small task is what we should do."
Xuan Yang said this, directing his men to maintain order and prevent people from fighting.
"Okay, no need to thank me, we're all brothers. By the way, didn't you say last time that your wife was pregnant? Has she given birth yet?"
Zhao Jun started chatting with him and suddenly thought of this and asked.
"The adults still remember that. She gave birth to a big fat boy, haha."
When talking about this, Xuan Yang couldn't suppress a smile on his face.
"Really? Congratulations."
The woman had a difficult delivery, so she was very happy to hear the news.
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, I have a question for you. There's a rumor going around that this paper is very cheap and convenient for writing. Once it's produced in large quantities, it will be used by many people. Is this true?"
Xuan Yang glanced around and asked Zhao Jun in a low voice.
"Really? You haven't seen the finished product yet. A paper bookstore will open in the city in a couple of days, and then you'll be able to see it."
"That's great! My son will be able to go to school in the future. I don't want to have to work hard."
Xuan Yang was very happy to hear the definite answer. Perhaps the future would really be very different.
Zhao Jun and Xuan Yang were chatting when they suddenly heard someone calling them from behind.
Looking back, it was Meng Yi whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
"Master Zhao, I won't bother you anymore."
Xuan Yang saw the people coming from behind and knew they wanted to talk, so he tactfully left first.
"It's Mr. Meng Yi. Long time no see. You're here for the ribbon-cutting ceremony today too."
Zhao Jun walked over and greeted Meng Yi enthusiastically.
When I got closer, I found that there was a man standing behind Meng Yi.
She is tall and graceful, looks to be about thirty years old, has gentle manners and speaks maturely.
Who is this?
She gave Meng Yi a questioning look.
"Master Zhao, let me introduce you. This is Lord Changping."
Meng Yi was in the middle and introduced them to each other.
It turns out that this is the famous Changping Jun!
After hearing the name, Zhao Jun looked at him again inconspicuously.
This person is Changping Jun, Fusu's uncle, who later betrayed the Qin State and became the last King of Chu.
"Hello, Lord Zhao. I have long heard of your great name."
Changping Jun greeted Zhao Jun with a smile.
But Zhao Jun felt that this person seemed to be smiling on the outside but not on the inside, and was even subconsciously quite hostile to her.
Zhao Jun didn't want to have much contact with such a person, and his final outcome was not very good.
So she just nodded in response and continued talking to Meng Yi.
"I think there seem to be quite a few people in the palace today."
"Yes, Lord Zhao, you're planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony and even summoned the Prime Minister. The King also mentioned it this morning after the court session. How could we not come?"
Meng Yi didn't pay attention to her opinion of Changping and continued speaking as usual.
"Besides, we've seen this paper too. Everyone wants to come and see the opening of such an important workshop."
Zhao Jun exchanged a few pleasantries with him, mainly talking about the construction of the workshop.
Meng Yi came with Changping Jun. He didn't want to chat with her alone for too long, so he quickly left with Changping Jun.
The recruitment went smoothly. Two days later, the workshop was bustling with activity and all the workers were already working.
On the first day of official construction, Zhao Jun took Qingliu to inspect the site.
The first room was mainly used to process the raw materials for tree draping linen, and the workers were still a little unfamiliar with the craft.
Fortunately, Zhao Jun has assigned skilled workers to provide guidance in each room.
They walked through every room, and everyone was full of energy, vitality and enthusiasm.
We arrived at the last room, which was the focus of Zhao Jun’s inspection today.
Because the room is full of elderly women.
This was the key point Zhao Jun mentioned during the recruitment process.
She chose women to do all the final paper drying and sorting.
It turns out that women perform better than men in this job that does not require much effort but only requires carefulness and meticulousness.
"Sir, when you told me that I could find women to work with, I didn't believe it. There were very few people who dared to sign up, and most of them were older women. But it turns out that they do a really good job."
Qingliu looked at the middle-aged women who were working non-stop. These people were all recruited by her. Although there were few of them, they were all relatively older.
But she felt particularly happy to see that they were so active today, and that they were very organized and did a good job.
It was like seeing themselves reborn, and everyone's eyes were filled with light.
She firmly believed that the adults' decision was correct and that women could also play their role.
There will be more women like them in the future.
Zhao Jun walked into the room. The windows were wide open and a cool breeze blew in.
Many people saw the two of them, especially Qingliu next to them.
