Chapter 1263 Famine and Natural Disaster 422

Since people work hard, he should give them some rewards.

The housekeeper of the Gan residence left the palace happily, and when he returned to the Gan residence, he told Master Gan what had happened.

"Master, I really didn't expect that Steward Luo is so humble and would treat a servant like me with courtesy."

As a slave, his body indenture was in the hands of his master, who was also a merchant family. He was used to doing menial tasks, but he never expected that one day he would be treated as something less than a servant. The equal treatment touched him deeply.

"The people in the palace who are truly in charge have vision and knowledge that are not comparable to you and me." They don't need to be humble, and with the support of the palace, they have developed extraordinary confidence.

This kind of confidence makes Butler Luo different from those who have to bow down to the powerful. He can talk to the upper class and treat the lower class with courtesy. No wonder he has been able to manage the palace peacefully for decades.

"What the master said is true." The housekeeper of the Gan residence smiled apologetically.

Master Gan looked at his flattering smile. He thought there was nothing wrong with it in the past, but today he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it. "Don't smile like that in the future. It brings shame to the mansion. If the master can really climb up to the palace in the future, you don't have to bow down to these so-called dignitaries in Fucheng anymore."

The housekeeper of the Gan Mansion was moved again and became even more loyal to Master Gan.

"Master will definitely succeed."

"Yes! I will."

Master Gan smiled slightly, waved away the butler, and sat in the study quietly thinking about today's events. After sorting them out, he felt that he had done a good job and there was nothing wrong.

As long as he keeps up the good work, he will definitely be able to climb up to the high branch of the palace.

Who says businessmen can’t make a comeback?

It just requires the right time, place and people.

Now, he has the advantage of heaven, earth, place and people.

The next morning.

After Mr. Gan had breakfast with his wife, he took his wife to the palace; one was to see the butler Luo, and the other was to see his son.

If Butler Luo had not invited them, it would have been difficult for them to visit their son so often; since Butler Luo had invited them, it would have been legitimate for him to bring his wife, and by the way, it would have helped them to build relationships.

The carriage stopped outside the palace and the couple got off together.

As soon as he walked down, a young steward from the palace came over.

"Master Gan, Madam Gan, I have finally met you. Steward Luo has ordered me to come and meet you two. Please follow me."

The couple was flattered and followed. This time, Mr. Gan brought a half-big wooden box with him. Mr. Gan turned around and dragged the wooden box out of the carriage and quickly called his wife to follow.

The two followed the steward into the mansion.

Arriving at the side hall in the front yard, Butler Luo was already waiting there.

The Gan couple stepped into the side hall and greeted Butler Luo as soon as they saw him. "Greetings, Butler Luo. Good morning, Butler Luo."

"Good morning." Butler Luo's attitude was as kind as ever. "Madam, you can go and visit your son. He woke up once last night. I don't know if he is awake now."

When talking about her son, Mrs. Gan became excited and let the young steward lead her out of the side hall.

Butler Luo invited him, "Master Gan, please take a seat."

"I dare not ask Butler Luo to invite you personally. Please take a seat first." He was very humble. He knew his own business and he was currently working hard to serve.

Steward Luo took a seat and when he saw Master Gan taking his seat, he thanked him with a smile on his face, "Thanks to Master Gan's intervention, the food and grass shortage for our Northwest Army can finally be relieved."

"You are too kind. This is what we should do as citizens of the northwest. Before, I couldn't see Steward Luo, and even if I wanted to do my best, I didn't know where to start. Thanks to Steward Luo's support, I really have to thank you."

When talking to a smart person, you don't need to express too much. Just try a few times and both parties will be satisfied.

"Butler Luo, this time several of my family's old relatives and in-laws heard that I had already donated 100,000 shi, and they took the initiative to offer 100,000 shi, 100,000 shi, and 80,000 shi respectively. In addition to food and fodder, they are also willing to give some silver to the Northwest Army as military pay." As he spoke, Master Gan stood up and handed the box to Butler Luo.

"It contains some gifts from me. It's not much, but I hope it can help the Northwest Army a little."

Master Gan returned to his seat and sat down, observing the expression of Butler Luo from time to time. Butler Luo did not open his mouth, but just said: "If you say you are buying, then you are buying; why is Master Gan giving it away for free? The palace is not short of money at the moment, so how can I ask for your money? What will become of my palace then?"

"How can you say it's a gift for free? I'm trying to do my best for the Northwest Army. I can't go to the battlefield, but I do have some money. I can only do my best financially, so you can't refuse to accept it." Master Gan said with a smile.

Having said that, Butler Luo decided to back down.

"Forget it, Master Gan is thoughtful. Don't worry, this money will be used entirely for the soldiers of the Northwest Army."

"Of course I trust you." Master Gan breathed a sigh of relief.

There are rules for gift giving. One wrong word may make all previous efforts go to waste.

Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and had reviewed the situation in his mind several times. After reviewing all possible situations, he naturally found it easy to deal with them.

Butler Luo smiled in response, "Master Gan is a rare caring person. I hope he can keep his original intention in the future."

But don't forget how you feel at this moment.

Mr. Gan smiled and nodded repeatedly to make his promise.

"No, no, my original intention is to hope that the Northwest Army will be well. Only when the Northwest Army is well, can the people of the Northwest be well, and we businessmen can be safe."

Butler Luo still smiled and said, "After meeting Master Gan today, I have a clear idea in my mind."

"Don't worry, I will come and report as soon as the food and fodder arrive."

"Then I'll have to trouble Master Gan. Thank you for your hard work, Master Gan."

Having achieved their respective goals, Butler Luo sent someone to visit his son; he then called someone to hold a box and go with him to Tao Yiyuan.

Come to Tao Yiyuan.

After reporting, Butler Luo and his men successfully entered Tao Yiyuan.

Chunxi and Chunmei stayed beside Mingyi. Butler Luo came in and bowed to greet her.

"Hello, Miss Cheng."

"Hello." Mingyi was having a meal. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at him leisurely. "What brings you here, Steward Luo?"

"My dear lady, I am here for the money sent to the Gan Mansion."

Butler Luo winked at the servant next to him, and the servant saw it and hurriedly brought the box forward.

Chunmei stepped forward, took the box and placed it next to Mingyi.

Mingyi looked at him in confusion, "Why did the Gan family send money?"

"They want to do their part for the Northwest Army, and there will be some silver and food later."

Mingyi suddenly realized.

understood.

They wanted to board the big ship of Zhou Wangfu.

She wanted to see how much money the Gan family had invested.

When she opened the box, she saw a large pile of silver bills with red seals on them. She only took a few and looked at them. Each one was worth thousands of taels.

"Can the silver shops in the Northwest still operate normally?" With the war going on like this, how come the silver shops in the Northwest didn't go bankrupt?

All the silver houses in the Central Plains can no longer operate, but the silver houses in the Northwest are related to the silver houses in the Central Plains, so why are they not affected?
