Only then did Xu Can realize that the strangers in front of him were actually the people he was looking for.
"I'm sorry, sir, for being rude!" Xu Can looked at them seriously and bowed deeply to Wang Bo, which frightened the father and son of the Wang family!
County Magistrate Wu quickly introduced Xu Can's identity and also revealed his donation to build the county school.
Several people started chatting about this topic. Xu Can mentioned his own needs in passing, and asked Mr. Wang to pay attention to these details when building the house!
Wang Bo was deeply surprised that Xu Can could do such a good deed at such a young age.
They are both young men from official families, so why is there such a big difference between them?
Those dissolute disciples of Nanliang did not do their jobs properly. They relied on their family's power to harm the people every day.
Look at the young master of the Marquis Dajing's Mansion. When talking about these tasks, he can answer them easily, and it is obvious that he has done his homework beforehand.
Wang Bo stroked his chest and suppressed his complicated emotions!
I'm just a little confused. Why is a nobleman so polite to craftsmen like them?
You have to know that they are no longer officials, but slaves, which is lower than craftsmen. They have always been just tools and beasts of burden in the hands of the masters!
Who would be polite to cattle and horses?
County Magistrate Wu was actually quite puzzled. When did Xu Can become so polite to others?
The officials from the Ministry of Works sent from Kyoto did not receive any good attitude from him. When they saw those people, they either turned around and left, or looked down on them!
Maybe only people from the Qiao family are excluded?
But these had nothing to do with him. Seeing Xu Can still sitting there after finishing his business, he couldn't help but ask, "Xu Shizi, why are you here instead of staying on the mountain?"
"I'm here to ask when the construction of the county town will start?"
"Everything is almost ready. We will start work as soon as Madam comes back. We are now making preliminary preparations and waiting for Madam to set the construction date!
Once we start, the speed will be fast. The winter in Anhua is not too cold, so it will not affect the construction period. "
"When will the old lady come back? Do you know where they went?" Xu Can popped out half of his body and put his head in front of him.
Magistrate Wu leaned back subconsciously and denied: "How can I know where the old lady went? Why don't you go ask Shunzi, the manager?"
Xu Can snorted, rolled his eyes, and blocked back angrily: "If I could find him, would I come to ask you?"
Seeing his attitude, County Magistrate Wu knew that he had not caught anyone. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject: "Have you completed the planning for the tea plantation you are responsible for? Do you need to add more staff?"
When it comes to business, Xu Can becomes serious.
"We need manpower. After all, there are more than 20,000 mu of tea mountain, and there are only 100 or 200 people. It will take a long time to clean up the mountain. But no matter how urgent it is, we have to take our time. Bringing the unsuitable people up will only cause trouble. I came here today to bring someone up the mountain."
"Who?" Magistrate Wu asked puzzledly.
"Mr. Wang, has Young Master Wang Miao come? Please ask him to come with us!"
Qiao Lingyin only told him that the young and old masters of the Wang family each had their own strengths and could be independent if led out separately, and it would be a complete waste of talent to gather them together.
We must make the best use of everything and everyone, pull them out one by one and assign them to different places, and train them as apprentices at the same time.
Old Master Wang paused, and his gaze turned to his second son, who was taciturn and of ordinary appearance.
Xu Can followed the Wang family's gaze and saw a little fat boy who lowered his head and slowly took a few steps before standing in front of the group.
Xu Can recalled the words Qiao Lingyin used when she talked about Wang Miao: solid, dull, not good at speaking, but a genius, and she also said that the old lady liked him the most?
But no matter how he looked at the other person, he didn't think there was anything outstanding about him. He was just an inferior fat guy!
Well, I don't know whether he has the ability or not, but his body is twice as wide as mine, and he is indeed sturdy. He speaks with his head down, and he is indeed dull and not good at speaking. It seems that what he said is indeed right!
Xu Can's impudent gaze made Wang Miao, who was extremely socially anxious, feel very uncomfortable, as if countless bugs were crawling on his body. He couldn't help but shrink back.
Compared to hiding in the room and doing what he likes, he is not used to standing in front of people. Other people's gazes make him feel ashamed of being seen naked.
However, along the way, he no longer cared about the outside world and knew his current situation.
Not only myself, but even my father who once had the final say and my eldest brother, who was once a proud child, have to live a humbly life!
Wang Bo naturally noticed his son's little action and couldn't help but frowned, but in front of outsiders, he didn't say anything after all!
Instead, he turned to Xu Can and asked, "My son is tongue-tied, and his heart is clumsy. I wonder what the prince wants him to do?"
"It may be true that he is tongue-tied, but it is an exaggeration to say that he is clumsy and eloquent. How can a person who can receive special care from the old lady not have some real skills?
Mr. Wang, just rest assured. It’s not a big deal if he’s not good at speaking or doesn’t like to talk. That’s not what we value.
This young master brought him up the mountain to let him preside over the water conservancy and irrigation design of the tea mountain. The old lady specifically asked the second young master to be the person in charge! "
Wang Bo stood up in shock and said without hesitation, "No, such a big task, how can a young boy like him take charge?"
Xu Can was not angry when he was contradicted in public. He just looked at him with a half-smile and said, "The old man is so partial. The eldest son is a child of destiny. It is natural for you to build palaces and become famous at a young age. Why can't the second son be able to take charge of things on his own? The second son seems to have helped the local people build terraces in Lingnan, right?
