Chapter 254: Picking Staff
After leaving the Changping Marquis Mansion, Zhang Ran did not choose to go home, but asked Xue Tong to drive him to the workshop garden.
Although Zhang Ran had basically solved all the major problems faced by the Workshop Garden two days ago, there were still many trivial matters in the Workshop Garden, especially when the wool textile in the Workshop Garden had just been on track not long ago... As the boss of the Workshop Garden, Zhang Ran might be fine if he left for a day or two for a while, but if it took too long, there might be problems.
What's more, when he was at Wei Qing's house yesterday, Zhang Ran boasted about Haikou in advance, saying that the craftsmen had already been trained. Just need Wei Qing's order, a group of people from their workshop garden could go straight to Shuofang County and serve the soldiers in the north.
However, although Zhang Ran said it well at the beginning, the real situation was not as perfect as he said.
It is true that the craftsman has been trained almost all, but Zhang Ran has not yet finalized the candidate for the in charge... Therefore, this matter is still a very important step, and Zhang Ran must handle the matter thoroughly in the shortest time.
What's more, as the saying goes: "Eat people with short mouths, but use soft hands!"
In the past two days, Wei Qing has been entertaining Zhang Ran so grandly. It is reasonable and Zhang Ran should be more proactive and do things as soon as possible. Only in this way can we maintain a good relationship with Wei Qing, which is hard-earned.
Therefore, after Zhang Ran arrived at the Workshop Garden, he immediately summoned all the officials in charge and officials from other departments of the Shaofu.
After all the staff arrived, Zhang Ran called everyone together and said to them: "I came here this time, because there is something I want to discuss with you! A few days ago, Your Majesty ordered me and Mr. Zhao to draw a group of craftsmen familiar with kang construction and wool textiles from our workshop garden to Shuofang County to assist General Wei Qing in establishing a small wool textile workshop and teach Shuofang County the soldiers how to build kangs... to help them resist the cold winter."
After a pause, Zhang Ran looked around everyone and asked slowly, "Who among you wants to take this errand and go to Shuofang County?"
"It turned out to be Shuofang County!" When Zhang Ran said he wanted to draw a group of people to Shuofang County, most of the people present couldn't help but lower their heads.
Everyone has some understanding of the situation in Shuofang County. This place was seized by the Qianwei Qing from the Huns for several months. The Han Dynasty has very weak rule here and can fight at any time. This soldier is in a fierce battle. If he is not careful, he may have his life in it.
Moreover, it was a very bitter and cold place. I heard that there were barbarians everywhere, which were very desolate. Even ordinary people and even tenants were reluctant to go there.
So, no one wants to go there to suffer!
Or out of fear of the harsh situation in Shuofang County, everyone present was silent for a moment, and no one dared to stand up and take on this burden!
Seeing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart. These officials in the young mansion have been comfortable for too long. The generous living environment has made most people lose their fighting spirit. It is obvious that an opportunity to make contributions is in front of him, but no one is willing to fight!
After waiting for nearly two minutes, no one answered. Zhang Ran's face slightly darkened, his eyes glanced at everyone with fun, and asked again: "Is no one willing to go?"
"I! I'll go!" As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, Sankui in the crowd jumped out immediately and shouted: "Ran... Zuo Cheng, I, Zhang Sankui, are willing to take the order to guard the border in Shuofang!"
"Shut the yarn!" Zhang Ran subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows when he heard this, looking at Sankui's impatient look, because he couldn't help but curse.
Then, Zhang Ran glared at Sankui fiercely, and ignored this guy.
He turned his head directly, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "It is Your Majesty's order to draw thousands of people to Shuofang County, which is related to the issue of tens of thousands of soldiers in the border areas to protect the cold... If you do it well, it will be a great achievement and may also be favored by General Wei... At that time, it will be easy to get promoted and make a fortune. Is no one really willing to give it a try?"
When everyone heard about the promotion and wealth, they finally reacted. Most of them showed a hint of intent, but fearing the extremely harsh environment of Shuofang County, no one dared to speak on their own initiative.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a person from the crowd came out, came to Zhang Ran in three or two steps, bowed to Zhang Ran and said, “Zuo Cheng, my subordinates are willing to take this position and take people to Shuofang County!”
"Okay!" Zhang Ran praised with high fives, looked at Zheng Jin in front of him with great satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Zheng Lushi is brave enough to take responsibility, I am very happy! Well... Zheng Lushi is familiar with wool textile affairs, so let me leave this to you about the construction of a wool textile workshop in Shuofang!"
"Now!" Zheng Jin bowed to take the order and bowed to Zhang Ran, "I will definitely not let down the entrustedness of the left prime minister!"
"Yeah!" Zhang Ran nodded slightly, then turned his head and asked the rest of the people: "Apart from Zheng Lushi, are there anyone else who is willing to go?"
With Zheng Jin's precedent in front of him, Wang Yu in the crowd hesitated for a while, then suddenly gritted his teeth and took two steps forward to bow to Zhang Ran and said, "Zuo Cheng, I am willing to go!"
"Good!" Zhang Ran nodded slightly and praised him, "Wang Lushi is very considerate. You are quite familiar with the matter of hatching chickens. You will be responsible for this matter!"
"No!" Wang Yu bowed respectfully to Zhang Ran, and then retreated to Zheng Jin's side.
In fact, from the perspective of his original intention, Wang Yu is not willing to go to Shuofang, but he, Wang Yu and Sankui, are more familiar with this manual incubation so far.
Wang Yu knew the relationship between Sankui and his own left chief. So Wang Yu knew that even if Sankui volunteered, Zhang Ran would not be able to let him go.
In this situation where Sankui was obviously intentionally stayed by Zhang Ran, Wang Yu was naturally the only choice.
"It seems that Zuo Cheng had planned it a long time ago!"
Thinking of this, Wang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
At this point, Wang Yu still doesn't know where he is. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to stand up just now, he will be named by Zhang Ran sooner or later.
After all, this transfer order was a task ordered by the emperor, but no one dared to disobey it, and it must be completed. In this way, Wang Yu could not even escape even if he wanted to escape!
The appearance of Zheng Jin and Wang Yu made Zhang Ran feel that the group of people under his command were finally hopeless.
However, it is obviously not enough if they are the only two of them, so Zhang Ran asked everyone for the last time: "Who else is willing to go to Shuofang County to work?"
