Chapter 612: Mr. Qiao really doesn't treat himself as an outsider
"Okay, follow the master and write the letter!"
Shao Yunduan, Qiao Xuan: "."
Lord Qiao really doesn't treat himself as an outsider, he acts like a real father!
He never took Qiao Xuan seriously, and naturally he didn't take Shao Yunduan seriously either, who he was sure would have no future in the official career.
He just ordered and decided like that as a matter of course. He didn't care at all and wouldn't consider what Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan thought.
At this time, the shortcoming of Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan in that they had no useful managers under their command became apparent.
Although Zhangjia Village is now under the management of Ding Erzhu, he is not an excellent manager. He may be able to fool ordinary villagers, but it may not be easy for him to deal with the people sent by Lord Qiao.
If there was an outstanding manager, Shao Yunduan could confidently say that there was a manager sent by Le Zheng Xiao in charge of specific affairs. In fact, he was only doing some sporadic clerical work irregularly and keeping in touch with the third son of Le Zheng, and checking from time to time whether the tea plantation and farm were operating normally.
You can then reject Lord Qiao's kindness.
But now, there is no qualified manager in the true sense in Zhangjia Village, so Shao Yunduan can't say this.
Once we tell him, and let Lord Qiao send someone to find out some clues, it would backfire and easily arouse his suspicion.
Shao Yunduan said nothing.
Mr. Qiao's face looked a little unhappy, and he frowned and said unhappily: "Why? You don't want to? You need to review your lessons, how can you have the energy to take care of other things? Besides, you don't understand these things! I am helping you!"
I offered to help you, but you don’t appreciate it?
There was a strong sense of charity in Mr. Qiao's tone.
In fact, he was short of money, very short of it!
He put a lot of effort into planning his return to Beijing, and invested all his savings over the years. But it was still not enough.
According to news from the Qiao family in the capital, it is now a critical moment and they will have to spend at least 30,000 silver coins to smooth things over before they can be safe and secure.
Otherwise it’s dangerous!
Lord Qiao is going crazy!
He had invested tens of thousands of silver in the early stage. If he failed, wouldn't all the tens of thousands of silver be wasted? Who could bear such a blow?
Therefore, he had to collect the 30,000 silver coins no matter what.
He and Mrs. Qiao once again carefully searched the family's assets and, by selling some antiques, they were able to scrape together another 10,000 taels.
There is still a shortfall of twenty thousand taels, which cannot be collected no matter what.
The two of them were so worried that they couldn't sleep all night.
Later, Mrs. Qiao came up with an idea. A mere 20,000 taels of silver was nothing to the Lezheng family. As long as they had connections, how could they refuse to lend it to them?
No matter what, Lord Qiao is also an official.
So, this is what happened today.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan naturally didn't know about these things.
If she knew, Qiao Xuan would definitely laugh heartily out of gloating.
Thirty thousand taels of silver? That was really embarrassing, she already had thirty-seven thousand taels of silver in her hand!
"My father-in-law has misunderstood," Shao Yunduan acted out his not-so-smart appearance vividly, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to listen to Third Master Le Zheng."
"How about Xiaoxu ask Third Master Lezheng what he thinks first, father-in-law, and then talk about sending someone to take over?"
Shao Yunduan thought that he would have to discuss it with his wife afterwards and sign an employment contract for more than fifteen years to hire a capable manager.
