Chapter 46 The First Hand Workshop

Liang Shaofu's actions were quick, but only half a month later, a huge paper-making workshop had already sprung up.

Zhao Jun came to supervise the work almost every few days, and the whole workshop also made corresponding changes according to her ideas.

Now the workshop has been built and will be officially put into use soon.

Zhao Jun came to the Mo family to discuss this matter with Juzi.

"My lord, you're here, and you haven't brought any interesting new inventions." Juzi saw her coming and greeted her enthusiastically.

Now that the papermaking technology has been successfully developed, Juzi has a little leisure.

As soon as I saw Zhao Jun, I expected that she would bring something interesting again.

"Not for the time being. I said Juzi, you can't rely on others. Some creations still have to be thought of by yourself."

Zhao Jun was in a good mood and couldn't help teasing him.

"I know, I'm just kidding, what's the matter here today?"

Juzi knew that she was very busy recently, so she probably didn't just come here to chat.

"Yes, I have something to discuss with you. The paper-making workshop in Xianyang has been completed. I plan to recruit people in Xianyang City and let them make paper. The workshop will pay them wages on a monthly basis."

"Yes, this is a good thing. The more people there are, the greater the output. But one thing, will these people learn the craft and tell other people?"

Of course Jiangongfang Juzi has no objection, but he has to ensure that the papermaking technology will not be spread or plagiarized.

"I've thought about this, and that's why I came to you. The workshop in Xianyang was divided into several rooms when I asked them to build it. Those untechnical, repetitive tasks that only require physical strength can be handed over to ordinary people. , but the most core and most professional craftsmanship is done by our Mohists who train specialized people."

Generally speaking, it is technical cutting, making papermaking into an assembly line process.

"Since your lord has already thought of a way, then there will be no problem on our side."

When Juzi heard that she already had an idea and could prevent plagiarism, he was relieved.

"It's okay if there is no problem, but I have to trouble the Mo family to help me train some skilled professional workers. I will send the selected ones later, and you will be responsible for training them. When you have almost learned, the workshop will be ready. It’s officially put into production, don’t worry, I will pay everyone’s training fee.”

"No, no, no, we are determined not to charge training fees. Before, the king said that he would give us [-]% of the profits from papermaking. This is already a great gift from heaven. Why do we need training fees?"

Juzi hastily stopped what Zhao Jun said.

"That's right, Mr. Zhao, that [-]% profit is already something we never dared to think about. We haven't thanked Mr. Zhao enough. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to make paper."

The old Mohist who had been listening for a while came over, and said that the training fee was absolutely unacceptable.

"Yes, yes, thank you Master Zhao."

"Thank you sir, [-]% of the profit is already a lot."

The surrounding Mo family gathered together and kept saying thank you.

Thinking that they have never received any rewards for making things before, it is really good to have this money this time.

The surrounding Mohists are extremely grateful. They also have their own families, and they only have a little salary every month in the workshop. Everyone is living a difficult life.

I didn't expect to get a reward this time, it was really enough.

Zhao Jun didn't expect them to think so.

They are a bunch of simple good people.

"Okay, then I won't give it to you. After the workshop is put into operation, I will send you [-]% of the profit on a monthly basis."

"That's all right, thank you sir."

The old man bowed his back and bent over. With this money, his little grandson should be able to go to school.

"You're welcome, then I'll go first, and I'll send the chosen one over later, and I'll trouble you for the rest."

Zhao Jun was in a hurry and left the Mo family soon.

She chose Li Si to deal with these people. After all, Li Si was more familiar with them in Xianyang, so it was more reassuring for him to find someone.

The skilled technical jobs have been settled, and then ordinary employees are left. It's time to go to the Neishi Mansion.

"My lord, why have you disappeared again? I know you've been busy recently, but I have to follow my lord to protect you."

Qingliu had been waiting in the Neishi mansion early in the morning, and when she came together in the morning, she received the news that the lord had gone out by himself, so she almost died of anxiety.

"Qingliu, I told the king that he has sent someone to protect me. You have to do things for me every day. How can you stay by my side all the time?"

Zhao Jun had chatted with Ying Zheng before, and knew that there was someone around her, so it was incidental to ask Qingliu to protect her.

"What I want is a capable assistant, not a follower. Hurry in, I have something to tell everyone."

This is the first time that Mr. Zhao has brought everyone together since he took office. It can be regarded as a general meeting.

"Don't talk nonsense, just talk about business."

Zhao Jun greeted several commanders to sit down and cleared his throat.

"Everyone knows about the construction of the paper workshop in Xianyang. Now, the first thing, I need everyone to draw up a notice to tell the people in Xianyang that the paper workshop will hire employees to work from Chenshi to Youshi, take a break at noon, The money will be issued on the [-]th, and each person will receive a monthly salary of [-] yuan."

Zhao Jun first said the first thing, which was recruitment. She briefly talked about the requirements for recruitment and the benefits of the workshop.

This is the first handicraft workshop she built in ancient times, which can learn from the modern factory experience.

"This is the first thing, and the king's order is up to you to do it."

Zhao Jun said and sent out the first thing.

"Second thing, the paper workshop will be under my direct control from now on. The monthly tax bills of the workshop, please list them separately." Bai Fang, who was named, nodded in response.

"The third thing is, I asked the king for a shop in Xianyang. In the future, it will be a shop that sells books and papers. Zhang Guo ordered you to assign people under his command to manage this shop. Note that this shop is state property. Accounts must be clear."

The shop in Xianyang that she wanted before has already been allocated to her by Yingzheng. Let the people in the Neishi Mansion take care of it for a while, and if there are businessmen from Xianyang behind, then hand it over to others.

"There is one last thing. The workshop will officially start in a few days. Although I am the direct leader of the workshop, the workshop needs a workshop owner to assist me in handling the daily affairs of the workshop, such as summarizing the monthly turnover. Regarding trivial matters such as recruitment, I don’t know what everyone thinks about the candidate for this Fangzhu.”

Zhao Jun already has a candidate he likes, but he still wants to hear everyone's opinions.

"Back to my lord, there is no particularly good candidate for the next official."

Tu Kang was the first to speak. He was already busy with work, and he didn't have many people who could be used under him. He really didn't know who to recommend.

Bai Fang knew that this position was definitely very important, but he was already the person in charge of taxation, so he definitely couldn't be in this position anymore.

After a while, Wang Deng stood up.

Zhao Jun looked at him. Wang Deng had worked with her for a long time, and his opinion was worth listening to.

"My lord, I feel that there is one person who is suitable." Wang Deng replied.

"Who?" Zhao Jun was also curious.

"It's Miss Qingliu!"
