Letting Tian Mi explain to Kaifeng Mansion about reselling military rations is no different from letting him die.
He came to ask for help this time, so he knew a lot, and he also knew that the "Huahua Taisui" in front of him was definitely not an ignorant and incompetent young man from the government, as he had said before.
The only way to survive was to ask for help. Whether it could come true or not depended entirely on one's ability, so I thanked him and resigned.
As soon as Tian Mi left, Gao Kan also started planning.
Tian Mi would definitely not let him die. Without him, where would we find a good trade route for transporting grain?
Now it's time to think about how to get Captain Gao to save Tian Mi and let someone else take the blame.
After thinking about it, he made a calculation in his mind, and hurriedly asked someone to arrange a carriage. He wanted to go to the Taiwei Mansion.
When I came to the Taiwei Mansion, I saw Gao Qiu. He went up to Gao Kan and said, "Father, I have a happy event for you to ask my father for!"
It was rare for Gao Qiu to see Gao Kan be so happy to ask to see him, and a smile appeared on his face: "If there is anything happy about my son, let me tell you as a father."
"Does father know Tian Mi from Bianjing Mi Ya?" Gao Kan asked.
"I have some impression. Hasn't it been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion? Why did my son mention him?"
Gao Qiu looked thoughtful and asked immediately.
Gao Kan immediately replied: "I want my father to know that today Tian Mi came to see the boy, begging him to find a way out for him. It turned out that the Kaifeng Mansion came to him and wanted to accuse him of reselling military rations."
"He knew that he could not escape the death penalty, so he was willing to trade all his possessions for a way out."
Hearing this, Gao Qiu said with a lack of interest on his face: "How much furniture can a mere Miya man have?"
"Reporting to my father, the kid doesn't like Tian Mi's little possessions. What the kid likes is his way of making money with the Daming Mansion!"
Gao Kan had expected that Gao Qiu would despise Tian Mi's little possessions, so Gao Kan said directly.
"This man has been doing business for many years, reselling grain products, and has a way of survival in Daming Mansion. If he can be in our hands, it will provide a steady stream of money and grain, and it will be of great help to us to start our own business."
Gao Qiu frowned when he heard this and said thoughtfully: "Is it reliable?"
"Father, don't worry. Tian Mi's life is in our hands. How dare you have other thoughts? Besides, the boy has already recruited people. Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and others are loyal. If this way of survival is obtained, Yang Zhi will be asked to take care of it. But he has two intentions. , just let him disappear quietly."
Gao Kan imitated Gao Qiu's unblinking way of killing people, and continued: "Now we don't know this way of survival, but after one or two trips, we are familiar with the road, and there is no need for him. He also knows the power of it, so he There won’t be any second thoughts.”
"That's what you say." Gao Qiu nodded.
"It doesn't matter, since my son came to ask for it in person, I will let you get your wish as a father. I will meet Teng Fu Yin tomorrow morning so that he can tell him that it's just another person and it won't be difficult."
"My child, thank you father for your support." Gao Kanlian cupped his hands and said.
"My son has great ambitions. Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it. My father will take care of it for you, but there is one thing you must remember."
Gao Qiu smiled in approval and said: "No matter what you do, you must first protect yourself. Money and food are just trivial matters. If there is any inconvenience, let your subordinates handle it. Don't get involved yourself."
"My child is awake, thank you father for reminding me." Gao Kan thanked him.
"Well, that's good. Stay one night at my house today?" Gao Qiu nodded and asked.
"The child is ashamed, so he ordered Yang Zhi to go do some things. He has not yet received a reply. The child will come home to serve his father on the coming day."
Gao Kan thought about how the things he asked Yang Zhi to do in the afternoon were going well, and if he had any other thoughts, he might as well go home and finish the business first.
After hearing this, Gao Qiu didn't force him to stay and allowed him to go.
When he returned to the mansion, Yang Zhi had already led his servants back, waiting in the lobby.
Seeing Gao Kan coming back, Lian stepped forward and said, "This subordinate has met the young master."
"You're welcome, Coach Yang. How did things go?" Gao Kan waved his hand, sat down on his desk and poured a cup of tea.
"Reporting to the young master, the waiter has given me a roster. I will wait with the rest of my subordinates. This time, we have a total of forty-three people. Thirty-five of them are willing to come. There are eight more people who still need to think about it." Yang Zhi Lao said honestly.
Obedient Gaokan's expression changed, and he was a little surprised.
Forty-three people were summoned, and thirty-five of them confessed that he had not expected such a high ratio.
I originally thought that it would be very good if half of them agreed at the beginning. Then we would wait for those people to think about it and add more one after another. Finally, if we could gather 180 people, it would be considered a success.
Now it seems that the situation will be much better than expected.
Of course, this also shows that it is indeed difficult for these people to find a way out in Bianjing.
Although there is gold everywhere in Bianjing City, not everyone can stoop down and pick it up.
With no connections, no identity, and no one to help, no matter how great your abilities are, they are just idle sweating on the roadside.
This is true not only in the Song Dynasty, but also in the Song Dynasty. This has been true since ancient times.
Thinking in his heart, Gao Kan nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it is great to have thirty-five people. We will call the rest until tomorrow. Once everyone is here, Coach Yang will have to train hard."
"Master, don't disturb me, I will do my best." Yang Zhi said solemnly.
"Please, Coach Yang, realize that what we are planning is a big deal, and if you are not careful, it will be doomed. Therefore, the skills and means of these first batch of selected people are secondary. The key is to be reliable and train them." You should also observe carefully at this time, if you look like you are not a good person, you will not be able to stay." Gao Kan thought for a moment and then specifically reminded him.
This group of people can be regarded as his first team members. Their actual strength is not the most important. The most important thing is to be loyal.
Only if these people are loyal enough and willing to work hard can his territory be considered stable and reliable. If he uses these people as a divergence in the future to further expand the scale, he can rest assured.
Otherwise, if there is a traitor among them, there is no need for more, one or two will be enough for him to drink a pot.
Of course, Yang Zhi also recognized the power of it, and even nodded and said: "This subordinate knows how powerful it is."
"Okay, Coach Yang, you have worked hard today, go and have a rest early, you will be busy tomorrow."
I won’t say much about Gao Kan, but let’s look at it step by step.
After a night of silence, Yang Zhi got up early the next morning, took a few of the servants who had helped him out yesterday, and then notified the rest of the people on the roster.
By the time the high hill rises, it is already noon.
After breakfast, the housekeeper came to report. Tian Mi came again and was waiting outside the house.
Gao Kan asked the housekeeper to bring the person in. He must have already written the first letter he asked him to write and sent it to Jiang Jing.
Not long after, Tian Mi came in with the housekeeper.
As soon as he saw Gao Kan, he said, "I'd like to meet you young master."
Looking at him, Gao Kan said calmly: "Tell me, how did things go?"
"Reporting to the young master, I have ordered someone to deliver the letter overnight. The letter will be received within three to five days."
Tian Mi said, rolling his eyes: "Master, where is Kaifeng Mansion?"
