In the following days, Qiao Xin did not enjoy the leisure of being a hands-off boss at all.
With so many things to do, everyone wishes they had three heads and six arms, but they still feel like they don't have enough manpower even after working day and night.
Thanks to Qiao Xin's daily strengthening of cultural training for the guards, even they, who are usually only responsible for guarding their masters' safety, have to pick up pens and take on multiple duties.
I don’t know how the village chief’s wife explained to everyone. People came to inquire about the news one after another. After she received two waves of people, she entrusted the entire matter to the village chief and his wife.
I really can't blame her for being lazy. Every day I have to listen to people talking to me in slang and then have to listen to them explain for a long time before I understand what they mean. This job would be difficult and awkward for anyone.
The village head's wife was also embarrassed. When they were young, they had been to the county and at least knew some elegant language in the provincial capital, but people in other villages had never had such an experience.
They could understand what Qiao Xin said, but they kept talking incoherently for a long time and Qiao Xin had a hard time listening. Even with the village head's wife conveying the message, there were bound to be mistakes.
Qiao Xin has truly experienced the importance of popularizing the official language!
After doing this for two days, when the other party was glaring at Qiao Xin again.
Qiao Xin decided to let herself go and let the other person go, and once again felt extremely fortunate that when she first came here, she met the village chief and his wife who were fluent in elegant language.
Otherwise, you can just buy shrimps without a scale and just guess blindly!
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Shunzi came to report the news to her, Qiao Xin entrusted the matter of collecting the medicine to the village chief and his wife.
"Brother, sister-in-law, this matter really needs you. I can't do it without you. I'm leaving it all up to you two!" After finishing her meal, Qiao Xin was talking about collecting medicine with the village chief's family!
The village chief subconsciously wanted to refuse: "There are so many transactions going in and out every day, and we two old guys are illiterate, let alone writing them down. I'm afraid we can't remember everything. If I delay your important matter, it will be a loss!"
"I'll send a gentleman to assist you with the accounting. You and sister-in-law just need to keep a close eye on the medicinal materials. I'll have the butler bring the money to you in a little while."
She never wants to experience such a miscommunication again!
When Shunzi came over, he happened to hear the village head and his wife blushing and saying that they were incompetent and could not take on such a big responsibility!
"Don't worry, old madam. Just go and do your work. I'll talk to them!" Shunzi knew that Qiao Xin was not very patient with such false politeness, so he took the initiative to step forward and whispered a few words to Qiao Xin, then asked her to leave!
"The old lady is intentionally training you. We can't come here to do business in person every time, big or small. We have to trouble the village chief to take care of things here." As soon as the boss left, Shunzi began to persuade the other party in a straightforward manner.
"There are people in your village who can read and write. Why didn't our old lady choose you instead of others? Isn't it because she hopes that you two can take this opportunity to understand the sources and buyers of the medicinal materials nearby.
In the future, we will set up a base in the town, and I am afraid that we will not come to this village often. We can entrust you to collect the medicinal materials from a hundred miles away and send them back. The difference in price is not much more than what you can earn by searching for herbs in the mountains and forests every day, right? "
The village chief reacted immediately and nodded: "That's right, thank you for your advice, but can this be done? How can we afford this business?"
Shunzi smiled and said, "We have the old lady, so why can't it be possible? What we value is the kindness of your family, the village chief! If it were someone else, I can't say for sure!"
He didn't make this up, Qiao Xin really praised the couple in this way!
As for whether things will change if he becomes successful in the future, who knows?
They are not the kind of people who stick to their own opinions!
As the saying goes, like master, like servant. Shunzi is now as efficient as Qiao Xin in doing things, and he is resolute and decisive!
I just finished talking in the morning, and the money was delivered to my door in the afternoon!
The village chief's wife felt extremely excited when she saw the two boxes of copper coins being carried into her room!
Unexpectedly, the old couple who have been with Qiongkule all their lives, when they are old, can still witness the scene of counting money until their hands cramp.
"My master said that those who want to exchange money can just leave their real address and fingerprints on this account book, and then they can exchange the money and goods on the spot. The reason why it is so scattered is because the villagers don't have much money to make change."
"Big sister is really thoughtful. Copper coins are good, copper coins are good. Many of us country folk have never seen what silver looks like in our entire lives! But, aren't we going to exchange things?"
Rather than giving money, they prefer bartering.
Stable, solid, and will not be easily abandoned! The village chief's wife looked at Shunzi cautiously, not daring to underestimate this young man. To be respected at such a young age, he must be extraordinary.
"Of course we have exchanged it, but it takes time to dispatch the caravan. We are afraid that everyone can't wait and have their own ideas. It would cause more trouble. So we give the money first, which will appease everyone. When the caravan arrives, everyone can use the money to buy things."
"Then...then will we still go by the agreed price?" This is the issue that the village chief is most worried about!
Shunzi smiled and said, "Of course, sir, just keep your heart at ease. Although our old lady is a woman, her words are still binding. The people below have no right to change the price easily without receiving the official notice.
The rules of our family are not a blank sheet of paper, which is only for outsiders to see. No matter who violates the rules set by the Qiao family, the punishment will be expelled from the family at the least, and sent to the authorities to lose their lives at the worst. The punishment is extremely severe!
"Oh, that's good, that's good!" The village chief's wife smiled, and the expression on her face suddenly became lively!
"Don't worry, sir. There's no one in this area that we don't know well. We will definitely help our sister make this a great success!"
Shunzi went to report to the old lady with a smile.
Qiao Xin was not surprised by this result.
"They are honest people. You don't need to interfere too much in this matter. The relationships in the countryside are also complicated. As outsiders, since we have entrusted this matter to them, as long as the general direction is not wrong, we should just turn a blind eye!"
The poorer the place, the more power the village chief and the head of the village have. It is no exaggeration to say that they have the final say. If you have a good relationship with them, you can almost control the entire village and many problems can be easily solved.
There's really no need to worry about such small amounts of silver. As long as the job is done well, you should at least give people some hard work fees, right?
