Chapter 1275 Finally Returning to the City
Sun Shan said that he worked with the workers, but in fact he only worked for one morning and then left.
I am so young, but I am not as good as the old grandpa Yazi. It is really shameful.
County Magistrate Wang sat in the large courtyard, watching the workers work while drinking tea and eating snacks.
A closer look revealed that the snacks were prepared by Nanny Wang for Sun Dingnan and the other two. Now that they had been taken advantage of by County Magistrate Wang, Nanny must be very upset.
When County Magistrate Wang saw Sun Shan running back, he immediately jumped up.
He asked, "Sir, can we go back now? I told you that it's enough to just watch, there's no real need to go down and do anything. Sir, look at me, I've learned how to do things just by watching the villagers from afar."
Sun Shan had no time to deal with County Magistrate Wang, so he went to talk to the village chief.
When the old man saw Sun Shan in the workshop, he ran over to show his courtesy and took Gui Ge'er's job to serve Sun Shan.
The village chief said with a smile, "Sir, have a cup of tea. You must be exhausted. Your hands are not meant for such heavy work. They are hands for writing and doing big things. Leave these rough jobs to strong men."
This time, the village chief and County Magistrate Wang were on the same side, believing that Sun Shan was just putting on airs at work, not only was he not doing a good job, but he was also hindering the workers' work.
With such a pair of slender hands, he should be sitting in the study, writing, and strategizing, coming up with more plans to make money, and lead the Da Niao Village to success, no, it should be said that he should lead the entire Huangyang County to success.
Sun Shan took the tea and asked with a smile, "Village Chief, are all the men in the village working in the workshop?"
The village chief nodded, then shook his head: "All the strong men have come to work. Some are too weak to do it. There's nothing we can do."
There are always some men in a village who are not good at anything, and the village chief is embarrassed to let them come and do things and take advantage of them.
Sun Shan continued to ask, "Does every household have someone coming to work?"
The village chief said affirmatively, "Yes, sir. If one of your family members works here, at least they won't go hungry. Although Da Niao Village isn't the richest in the surrounding area, it's still one of the best. Many girls from other villages want to marry here."
Of course, this was just the village chief's self-boasting. It's just that the number of girls coming to propose marriage has increased compared to the past.
It's an exaggeration to say that there is such a rush for it.
Sun Shan continued, "After a while, a new steward will replace Steward Sun in managing the workshop."
Before Sun Shan could finish, the village chief started to get anxious: "Sir, why is Steward Sun quitting? He's doing a great job here. Where is he going? Why is there a new steward coming? Sir, does Steward Sun have to leave?"
Employees are often afraid of personnel changes, especially changes in their immediate supervisor.
Every change means a change in the relationship.
As time goes by, there will be staff changes, and old employees will naturally become anxious.
The village chief thought that Sun Dingnan was a good person to be in charge. He was kind and had a rustic temperament, just like them, and spoke quite casually.
Unlike County Magistrate Wang and his servants, who always acted high and mighty and made people afraid to approach them.
The village chief secretly glanced at Sun Shan and heard that Mr. Sun was also from a peasant family, but he was smart and good at studying, which led to his success in the imperial examinations.
Looking at Mr. Sun's temperament, he is just like a neighbor, and I can't help but feel friendly and like a fellow traveler.
Sun Shan said soothingly, "Don't be nervous. Manager Sun is my manager, and I have a lot of things waiting for him to do. I transferred him here because we really didn't have enough manpower. The Guano Workshop will hire a new and capable manager who will better manage the workshop."
It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous. The village chief asked nervously, "Sir, is the new manager easy to talk to?"
Sun Shan was sure he was easy to talk to, so he nodded and said, "He's from Yuanlu County, so he must be easy to talk to."
Sun Shan's purpose in visiting the village chief was not to tell him that a new manager was about to take office, but to give him a task.
He whispered, "Village Chief, I have a task for you, and only you can help me do it."
The village chief couldn't help but widen his eyes and feel very important.
He also replied in a low voice: "Sir, what is the task? As long as I can do it, I will do it for you even if it means going through fire and water."
After saying this, he closed his eyes, looking as if he was ready to die, as if Sun Shan was inviting him to die.
Sun Shan said with a smile, "Village Chief, the new manager is about to take office. I don't know whether he is doing a good job or not. So I need someone to observe his every move for me. If he finds anything wrong, he can report to me immediately."
When Sun Shan said this, the village chief understood immediately.
It turns out he was a spy. The village chief is quite experienced.
Before the guano workshop was built, Sun Shan instructed him to keep an eye on the guano in the back mountain and report immediately if any suspicious person passed by.
Previously, the village chief discovered that the Wang family came to spy and immediately reported it to Sun Shan.
Haha, when it comes to being a qualified "paparazzi", the village chief is definitely the best of the best.
The village chief agreed without hesitation: "Don't worry, sir. I will help you keep a close eye on the new manager. If anything goes wrong, I will report to you immediately. Sir, you can trust me when I do things."
From that moment on, the hunched back seemed to be able to straighten up, and the village chief felt that Sun Shan could not do without him.
This is the power of being entrusted with an important task, making a white-haired old man twenty years younger.
The next morning, County Magistrate Wang was overjoyed because Sun Shan finally agreed to return to the city.
He usually sleeps until noon, but today he got up at dawn, urging Grandpa Yazi to make breakfast quickly, urging Sun Shan to eat breakfast quickly, and urging everyone to set off quickly.
The anxious County Magistrate Wang was like a fat fly, buzzing around. Sun Shan was so annoyed that he wanted to kill him with a fly swatter.
After a long time, Sun Shan and his group set off.
Before leaving, he said to Sun Dingnan, "Brother Nan, I'll leave this to you for now. At the current rate, we'll definitely be able to produce enough fertilizer before spring plowing. Don't worry."
Sun Dingnan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sun Shan's words.
If he failed to complete the task of handing the workshop over to him, it would not only delay farming, but also make things difficult for Sun Shan. Now that he had received recognition, the taut strings of his zither could not help but relax.
Nodded: "Master, don't worry, I will keep a close eye on the workshop."
The village chief also hurried over and said solemnly: "Sir, don't worry, I will help you take good care of this place."
Sun Shan looked back at the village chief meaningfully and nodded.
The village chief stood straighter, looked more energetic, and looked radiant, like an old tree sprouting.
After a day and night of travel, everyone finally returned to the county government office.
As soon as he stepped through the gate, Master Zhang hurried over and said, "Master, someone from Chenzhou Prefecture is here, and they're at the post station."
