Chapter 377 Everyone is busy

They still haven't figured out the master's situation, and the other party actually dared to throw such a heavy burden on them right from the start!

Was he trying to find an impossible task for his family to complete so that he could kill them openly, or was he really so impressed by their abilities?

Wang Jing squatted down and opened the box!

The huge box was completely empty, except for two account books! The father and son looked at each other in disbelief and panicked.

What exactly do they want to do? Didn't they want them to build water conservancy projects and city walls?

Just send two booklets over and tell them to repair and build as they please. Do they think they are gods and can do anything they want?

Wang Jing picked up one of the books and flipped through it, only to find that it was just a list of employees. The other one was a geomancy map and address plan for the new county seat of Anhua County.

this?

Wang Bo suddenly couldn't lie down anymore, and ran off the bed barefoot, not even bothering to put on his shoes!

I snatched the two volumes from my son's hand and found that they were just as he said. There were only rosters and maps.

I don't know what he suddenly thought of, his face suddenly became ugly, and he muttered: "Is this a joke?"

"Dad, even a good cook cannot cook without rice. Even if you want us to do something, this is not the way to do it. Isn't this just embarrassing?"

At this time, the old servant of the Wang family came in and said, "Old Master, Master, there are two people outside who want to see you. They said they are here under the order of Master Wu to assist you in your work!"

The father and son looked at each other, each curious about what the other could do. Wang Bo cheered up and ordered, "Come in, Jing'er, go entertain the guests first, and I'll be there soon!"

"Yes!" Wang Jing bowed and stepped back. Two old servants helped Wang Bo take a bath and change clothes!

President Meng and Cheng Keshang were sitting in the Wang family's living room.

When they received the task assigned by County Magistrate Wu, the two were completely confused.

Cooperate with the Wang family to build houses, construct a new county government office and city walls?

Are you kidding me? What is this for?

They are tea merchants, tea merchants!

Not a timber merchant, a stone merchant, let alone a carpenter or a bricklayer!

Could it be that the Qiao family said nice things but actually couldn't come up with that much money, so they found ways to ask for money from them?

Shunzi dealt with merchants every day, so how could he not see their intentions? That night, he carried a box of jewelry to the Chamber of Commerce. He told everyone that his Qiao family was not short of money!

"President Meng, just work hard. Our boss will not treat you unfairly! These things are just advance payment for your errands!

Our old lady also wants to keep the money within the family. It doesn't matter if we buy from others or from the Chamber of Commerce. Chairman Meng has been doing business for so many years, so he must know people in this field.

How much stuff is needed to build a county town, and how many ways are there to make money? I think you know it better than me!

The reason why the old lady left this opportunity to everyone is that she didn't treat everyone as outsiders! Since it's not the tea picking season now, why not do something else to earn money?

It’s not that my Qiao family can’t handle these orders, but it’s not our style to eat alone. Is this true or false? No one knows better than Chairman Meng, right? "

"But I am also a layman in this area. If something goes wrong, won't it delay the work?"

"You don't have to worry about this. You just need to find people and act as a middleman. As for the quality of the goods, others will check it!"

President Meng looked at Shunzi in confusion. It sounded like there were other people involved?

"who?"

"It's Mr. Wang and his family. They are now staying in your private residence! Let me tell you this, whether it's building a house or repairing a canal, what you and I say doesn't count. The old man has to make the final decision, and even the old lady has to listen to his advice.

He is an expert and has built several palaces for the man from Nan Liang!"

President Meng, his heart, which had been hanging high in the air, suddenly settled down.

There was such a huge Buddha standing here, so what was he afraid of? He didn't dare to take the money, but he was very excited!

Just kidding. Historically, only merchants have given money to officials. Look at that official giving money to merchants. The Qiao family can be courteous and treat them well, but it doesn't mean they can go too far and forget themselves!

The next morning, he called Cheng Keshang, who had just been kicked out of his home, and went to Wang Bo's house together!

"Come on, I'll help you get rich!"

Cheng Keshang said "Hey" now, and followed without asking any more questions! In his eyes, Uncle Meng is now much more reliable than his own father!

As soon as the two arrived at Wang's house, they were welcomed in and saw Wang Jing right away.

Wang Jing had a gentle attitude, without any of the arrogance of a child from an aristocratic family.

After introducing each other, I learned that the other party was the president of the local Chamber of Commerce, and I couldn't help but ask him about his purpose in coming!

Chairman Meng gave a rough outline of the matter.

Wang Jing looked at them suspiciously: "Are you saying that our family has the final say in the construction of the new county town?"

"That's right!"

Wang Jing laughed at himself. "President Meng, are you kidding? We are new here and don't understand a lot of things. How can such a big thing be decided by outsiders like us?"

Chairman Meng raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Young Master Wang, have you forgotten that you are not an outsider now? You are a member of the Qiao family. Steward Qiao has already said how this county town should be built. It's up to you. If you need something, just make a list for me. I will find someone to buy the rest, and then ask Steward Qiao to reimburse the expenses.

Prince Wang only needs to check whether the purchased items meet the requirements! As for other major directions, your father has to discuss it directly with the old lady. We can't make the decision!"

After hearing their words, Wang Jing felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly remembered that he had become a slave and was not even a commoner. He found it unbelievable.

What kind of family are their masters? How can they be so careless that they really trust them so much?

If they really trust them, why have they settled here for two days without the host sending anyone to communicate with them?

Wang Bo walked in from outside, holding the old servant's hand. "I have something I don't understand. Anhua County is doing well, why do you want to rebuild a city? Do you know how much it costs?"

Wang Jing and others quickly stood up and slowly helped the man to the main seat. Chairman Meng and Cheng Keshang greeted each other again, and then he told them about the current situation in Anhua County.

After hearing his words, Wang Bo frowned slightly and asked, "Are you saying that the Qiao family wants to build a new county town in order to fight against the aristocratic families in Anhua County? Isn't this just acting on impulse? Are aristocratic families so easy to deal with?"

"Old man, you don't know that our Anhua is a remote and poor place, and most of the resources are controlled by the aristocratic families. 90% of the shops and houses in this county town belong to them, and they only rent them and don't sell them. Outsiders have no chance to settle down here."
