Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1262 Famine and Natural Disaster 421

"Brother Gan, please be careful with your words!"

"Walls have ears."

Master Gan shook his head gently, "I appreciate the good intentions of my brothers, but you should think about this carefully. I have decided to submit my name and join the prince of Zhou Palace. My dear brothers, we have been brothers for decades, and I am thinking about you. While the prince's intentions are unclear, it is always right for us to get close to him first."

The other four wanted to kill him.

  Do you have the intention of sending them into danger for their own sake?

It's obvious that he wants to drag them into the water.

"Okay, I know what you mean, but this is not appropriate. The Zhou Palace has indeed made great contributions to the entire northwest, and even the border of the Dayi Dynasty. However, none of us have ever seen that prince. Judging a person based on hearsay alone, my entire fortune and more than a hundred people in my palace cannot be so rash." The old man over fifty years old spoke resolutely.

The words spoken are so powerful that no one can dispute them.

The other three looked at each other and remained silent.

Master Gan glanced at their faces and smiled bitterly, "Brother, brother, you know me. This is a bit risky, but if it succeeds, the rewards will be endless. It is far more than what we have paid. Do you think I am right?"

The elderly man, who was over fifty years old, nodded slightly, thinking that this was right.

If they surrender to the Crown Prince of Zhou, once that day the Crown Prince dominates the world and competes for the Central Plains, they will be considered as his followers and can completely change their allegiance.

The benefits are too great, I am greedy.

"But if we move closer, can Prince Zhou take our twigs?"

They were moved, and Master Gan was confident. "If we do nothing, we will get nothing. You all know what the current situation is. The princes are fighting. The prince of Zhou died to protect the northwest, and we have enjoyed this kindness. Even if we fail in the end, don't we have a clear conscience?"

Just think of it as doing something practical for the Northwest Army.

After hearing this, the four of them still felt uneasy; they were torn between giving and gaining. What they were worried about now was whether the Crown Prince of Zhou would accept their surrender.

Seeing them like this, Mr. Gan had no choice but to continue talking.

"If we want to join the prince, we have to show our attitude, don't you think?"

There was silence in the room for a long time.

The old man, who was over fifty years old, stroked his beard and said with determination: "Brother Gan is right. For our future and for the future of our descendants, we must show our attitude of surrender this time. The prince has accepted it. Let's not talk about what will happen in the future when we conquer the Central Plains. At least in the northwest, we don't have to worry about officials protecting each other."

"So, what does the Northwest Army lack the most now?" The old man made a decision and acted decisively, and immediately asked Master Gan.

Master Gan smiled secretly, his face still serious, "The Central Plains is in chaos, and the food and military pay are blocked; the Northwest Army should need food the most."

"You have already thought about it in your mind. How much food and fodder do you plan to provide?" the old man continued to ask.

"To be honest, I have asked my subordinates to mobilize 100,000 shi of grain and grass to support the city."

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will also donate 100,000 shi and 50,000 taels of silver to the Northwest Army free of charge."

Only then did Mr. Gan smile and gave the old man a thumbs up.

"This is it, bro."

"Okay, okay. I've contributed a lot too, and I can't contribute less than you." The old man smiled. Once he made up his mind to follow, he would not hesitate any more.

If you don't stand in the right position, you may easily tip over.

"Brother is still very generous." Master Gan secretly wondered whether he should also take out 50,000 taels and give them quietly. He couldn't give less than others. The people in the palace saved his boy, and giving less than others would seem insincere.

The old man made a decision, and the other three looked at each other; they saw the intention in each other's eyes. They knew the head of the Gan family who led the way, and they also knew their old brother. They were all cautious people. If they were not cautious, one wrong move would lead to a complete loss. With such a big family, who would dare to take it lightly?

They have been sharing what they have with each other over the years, which is why Fucheng, which was protected by officials in the past few years, was safe and sound.

"Since Brother Gan and Brother Chen are willing to follow, we will follow too. For so many years, we have always been together, and we should do the same in the future. I will offer 100,000 shi, plus 30,000 taels."

"Follow! One hundred thousand shi, fifty thousand taels."

"It would be best if the palace accepts our surrender. If not, it means we are not sincere enough. My family is not as wealthy as you brothers, so I will offer 80,000 shi plus 30,000 taels."

After several people in the room reached an agreement, Master Gan could finally relax.

After things were agreed upon, everyone went home to prepare.

Master Gan called the butler and said, "Go to the palace and tell them that I have decided. The Chen, Yu, Tian, ​​and Feng families have all volunteered to donate food and silver to the Northwest Army. You don't have to rush back after meeting Butler Luo. Let's see how he reacts."

"Yes, sir."

The butler bowed and walked quickly out of Gan's house. He ordered someone to bring a carriage and went to Prince Zhou's house in a low-key manner.

Outside the Zhou Palace.

As soon as the Gan Mansion's carriage stopped, several people around watched stealthily; as long as they saw the Gan Mansion's housekeeper coming to the palace, their mission was completed, and they went back to their homes to report what they had seen.

When Mr. Chen and a few others got the news, they knew what was going on.

A little inquiry would reveal that the Gan family was returning the favor because of the boy's matter, and at the same time, they really wanted to serve them. Although their intentions to help them were not pure, they really wanted to pull them up.

  In that case, let’s do it!

In Prince Zhou's mansion, Gan's steward was successfully taken to the accounting office to meet Steward Luo.

"I have met Steward Luo. I hope he is well."

"No need to be so polite. What does Master Gan want you to do?"

Butler Luo stood up from the table, walked to the center, and gestured with one hand, inviting people to sit down and talk slowly.

After the Gan family’s butler sat down, he was very respectful and cautious in front of Butler Luo. “In reply to Butler Luo’s words, the master ordered me to come here to report that the master met with the heads of the Chen, Yu, Tian, ​​and Feng families in Fucheng. After a round of talks, the heads of the families were all willing to donate food and silver to the Northwest Army.”

After saying this, the Gan family steward glanced at the Luo steward's face as if he was looking at something.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

In front of outsiders, Butler Luo had long developed the habit of not showing his emotions on his face; unless he showed it on purpose, others would not be able to tell what he was thinking.

"Mr. Gan is truly a leader in Fucheng." Butler Luo praised with a smile and without hesitation.

The housekeeper of the Gan Mansion was helpless as he could not find out anything.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. Our master is just doing his duty."

Butler Luo's attitude towards him improved a bit. "If Master Gan is free, I really want to meet him and thank him."

"The master once said that the palace has done him a great favor, and we should do our best to help him." The housekeeper of the Gan residence heard something in his words and quickly jumped into action.

"It's just a small matter. Master Gan is too polite. I happen to be free tomorrow. If Master Gan is free, I will wait for him to come to my house."
