Time flies. Since he learned two days ago that the New Year in Qin State would be here in half a month, Zhao Jun has been busy again.
Last time, she and Ying Zheng and Fusu had a great time eating hotpot at Zhiyang Palace.
Later, she secretly ate with Qingliu again.
With nothing to do on this snowy day, she planned to rest in the palace for a while.
But unexpectedly, as the New Year was approaching, she decided to do a year-end summary.
So she began to frequently go in and out of the Nei Shi Mansion again.
"The Chinese New Year is in five days, and the Tianshi Mansion will be closed for the holiday the day after tomorrow. Qingliu, tell the papermaking workshop to also close for ten days starting the day after tomorrow. We will resume work after ten days, and we will not be supplying goods during this period."
She called several commanders and Qingliu together and gave them instructions.
"Okay, then I'll go to the workshop in advance to say hello and talk to those merchants by the way." Qingliu received the order.
"Then there's our Internal History Office. I've read the half-year summary submitted these past few days. Overall, it's much better than the first half of the year. This is all thanks to everyone."
Zhao Jun said with a slight smile on her face that there were no annual meetings in this era, but she also wanted to express her opinion.
"No, it's all thanks to you, sir."
Several commanders complimented him, and they all looked in a good mood.
Since this Nine Ministers took office, the status of the Imperial Household Department has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"You're welcome, everyone. This is definitely impossible without your help. I'll need your cooperation next year."
Zhao Jun said a few more words of encouragement.
"What I'm going to say next is the most important thing. Everyone has performed well this year, so I've decided to give everyone a year-end bonus. I'll give each adult an extra month's salary, plus two pounds of mutton each."
Zhao Jun smiled and said that she had agreed with Wu Shiluo before and bought the mutton from his newly opened shop.
"Is this true?"
"And mutton?"
"Thank you so much, sir."
Several commanders didn't react at first, but when they saw that Zhao Jun didn't seem to be joking, they hurriedly thanked him, and the smiles on their faces became more sincere.
This monthly salary was already surprising, but I didn’t expect there would be mutton.
You know, this thing is in short supply. There weren't many of them for sale in Xianyang before. Now there is a shop, but it is still not enough to sell.
"You're welcome. This is the result of everyone's hard work, including Qingliu."
After explaining the affairs of the Neishi Mansion, she left Qingliu alone again.
"I'll be there the day after tomorrow to hold a year-end summary meeting at the workshop. Gather all the workers. I've also prepared year-end bonuses, giving everyone an extra half month's salary and half a pound of mutton. Prepare the people and the money in advance, and I'll have the mutton delivered."
Qing Liu would have thought it was nothing if the people in the Nei Shi Mansion were given year-end bonuses, but she was shocked that the people in the workshop also received year-end bonuses, and even some people did.
"Sir, is it true? There are quite a lot of people in this workshop."
Qingliu hesitated for a moment. She felt that the treatment in the workshop was already very good, but she didn't expect that the adults would give her more gifts.
This was simply beyond her imagination, and she even envied the workers in the workshop.
"That's all we need. You know how much money the workshop has made in the past few months. We want to show the people how good our treatment is. That way, when we recruit other workers in the future, they'll be scrambling to get the job."
Zhao Jun slowly taught Qingliu this principle.
"Yes, sir, I feel happy for those workers."
Qingliu said sincerely that her current life was something she had never dared to imagine.
"I think you are the happiest one, getting two rewards both in the Internal Affairs Office and in the workshop."
Zhao Jun smiled and joked.
"What? I have two copies too."
Qingliu was shocked. How could hers get one too? It was already great that she could follow the adults and do things. Now she could get two rewards without doing anything!
"Okay, I said yes, so go to the workshop and prepare it."
Zhao Jun waved his hands and didn't want to look at Qingliu's burning and grateful eyes.
After following her for so long, he still underestimates himself.
Two days passed quickly, and she had sent all the people from the Neishi Mansion back home at noon.
Now it was just her and Qingliu going to the workshop and that was it.
Everyone in the workshop stood in the large yard at the back, chatting in groups of three or four.
A few of them were dressed slightly differently. They were team leaders promoted by Qingliu according to Zhao Jun's ideas.
"The master is here." One of the men saw Qingliu.
They have become familiar with Qingliu over the past few months. At first, they had some objections when they saw that she was just a little girl.
But after a few months, everyone knew that this was no ordinary girl, she was smart and resourceful.
Two people followed behind and carried a box. I don’t know what was inside it, but it was placed aside.
Several team leaders felt quite proud, as they had already received the news that bonuses would be distributed today.
"Everyone, please be quiet. This is the Internal History Master. He will hold a summary meeting for everyone today. Welcome everyone."
Qingliu started clapping as he spoke, and the people below followed suit.
Zhao Jun had been to the workshop several times, but she only showed her face a few times and had little interaction with them. However, the group of female workers were very enthusiastic when they saw her.
They knew she was the one who took them in.
"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their hard work over the past few months. We appreciate everyone's contribution."
Zhao Jun stood in front and said a few brief words.
She didn't want to make a long speech, so she just said a few encouraging words as a formality.
