Xu Can pushed Guan Jianze aside in a servile manner and said with a smile, "Hehehe, don't worry, old lady. We have asked for leave from the dean and plan to go to Anhua to take a look first!"
Guanjianze also nodded and said, "I have finished my own business. Next, I will travel with the old lady. The dean has agreed."
Qiao Xin looked at them suspiciously, with a look of disbelief on her face: "Just the two of you, no one else? Are you really not skipping school?"
Xu Can puffed out his chest and said seriously, "How can I skip school? I will lose credits if I do that. We are tired of staying in Xiayan Town. Let's go to Anhua County to see if there are any pleasant places."
Qiao Xin frowned slightly and strongly disagreed: "Anhua County is not a prosperous place, what's fun there? We are going there to do serious business, not to travel. Isn't this nonsense?"
According to Magistrate Wu's description, Anhua County only had two streets, with a scope of less than two miles, and was less than two-thirds the size of Xiayan Town.
In such a huge county town, there are only two shops and one inn. There is not even a decent official road, let alone places for entertainment!
This is also the reason why Liang Shengming would rather choose to open a school in Xiayan Town instead of considering Anhua County first.
Poor, too poor!
"Master Xu, Young Master Guan." County Magistrate Wu also came out upon hearing the noise.
When Xu Can saw him, he immediately approached him and said, "Master Wu, I plan to visit your place and see if there is anything I can help with, such as funding to build a school. I wonder if you would welcome me?"
Magistrate Wu subconsciously looked towards Qiao Xin, and when he saw that she was also surprised, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Of course we welcome you very much. It is our blessing that the prince does not mind that our place is too poor!"
Guan Jianze looked at Xu Can in surprise. What was going on?
Why didn't I hear this guy say this before? Does this guy know what he is talking about?
How can you donate money to build a school without tens of thousands of taels?
But when I think about Xu Can's net worth, I feel that this might be true!
Qiao Xin also looked at Xu Can: "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I've actually wanted to do something for the people for a long time, I..."
"Get in the car, you two can take my carriage and I can ride on horseback!"
The God of Wealth has come to your door, so there is no reason to drive him away!
The son of the richest man in Dajing wants to donate money to build a school. If she hesitates for more than three seconds, she will be unworthy of his identity!
Guan Jianze has been working with Qiao Xin over the years and has made a lot of money.
Qiao Xin likes to spend money lavishly on reclaiming land, building roads, and setting up schools.
But I never ask any partner to follow me and do the same!
Therefore, after so many years of cooperation with the Xu family, the two sides have always maintained a tacit understanding of non-interference in each other. She never asks or interferes with how the Xu family uses the money they earn.
Now Xu Can actually took the initiative to take out money to help build the school, which was really unexpected!
"Does your father know that you made this decision?"
Xu Can's body stiffened, then he turned around and said with a smile: "I'm using my own money, so I don't need to ask for his opinion!"
"I'd better let them know, otherwise the people in Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion will accuse me of cheating in front of His Majesty, and I can't bear that!"
Xu Can was immediately displeased: "It's none of their business if I spend my own money. Besides, according to the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, after a man has performed the ceremony of coming of age, he does not need to inform the clan about the source and destination of his money."
Qiao Xin looked at him and said, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you have already grown up. Do you have a wife?"
Xu Can's ears turned red. He didn't know why Qiao Xin asked this and shook his head honestly!
"No, you can't. Don't you, the sophisticated people, have to get married after the ceremony of coming of age? How come you don't even have a wife?"
Xu Can curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "They are either talking about this illegitimate daughter or that aunt's cousin, none of them are presentable.
I have been traveling every day for the past few years and have lost my good reputation. I can understand why they do this. My father also wants to find me a lady from a noble family. When I mentioned my cousin, he was silent.
Look at Guanjianze's cousins, aren't they just like that? Don't they despise us for not having accomplished anything? Everyone says that you should get married first and then start a career, but I want to start a career first and then get married!"
Guan Jianze rolled his eyes at him and said: Just talk about the matter, why involve me? Can we be the same thing?
Qiao Xin looked at him in surprise. Oh, the little weakling is getting stronger?
Because of this, Qiao Xin didn't believe that this kid came here simply to do good deeds. None of the children from aristocratic families are simple!
Thinking about the past two days, when he and Shunzi were arm in arm with President Meng and acting like brothers, Qiao Xin understood a little more clearly.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as he really spends money to build a school for Anhua County, it’s not impossible for him to be involved in some things.
Anyway, it is better to do business with someone you are familiar with than to do business with someone you are familiar with. It will be easier to do things if you know the person well.
Jingyang, if she remembered correctly, was the hometown of Xiaoyao Hou!
Now that they have come to her door on their own initiative, it saves her a lot of energy.
Xu Can didn't know that Qiao Xin had seen through his little thoughts yet. He was asking County Magistrate Wu how much money it would take to run a school!
"I wonder if the prince wants to run a county school or a private school?"
"Your county doesn't have a county school?"
This matter was a little beyond his expectations. Looking at County Magistrate Wu, he immediately had a bad feeling!
County Magistrate Wu sighed and said with a wry smile, "It's all because of poverty. Half of the people don't have enough to eat, and the county yamen runners often can't afford to pay their salaries, so how can we afford to hire teachers and build a school?
