When counting the money, Li Gu did not entrust it to Jia, but kept it in his pocket, planning to put it into the account later.
Gao Kan looked aside, calmly, stood up and said goodbye: "Since the member is not in the house, the unworthy guest should not make too much trouble, so as not to cause gossip and leave rudely. When the member returns, he can come to the door to apologize. "
"Your words are serious, but my wife is not polite enough. Please forgive me."
As soon as Mrs. Jia heard that Gao Kan was about to leave, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Steward Li, could you please send these two distinguished guests off."
"It's madam." Li Gu said before sending the two of them out.
Gao Kan didn't say much and left Lu Mansion with Lin Chong.
When he got outside the door, he said goodbye, got on the carriage outside, and then spoke to Lin Chong.
"Coach Lin, Yuan Lu is a great hero. Unexpectedly, there was a fire in the backyard."
Hearing this, Lin Chong looked surprised and asked, "Master, where did you say this?"
"From what I've seen, Li Gu, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, is probably having a secret affair with his wife while the official is away."
"How dare you, the thief!" Lin Chong was furious when he heard this. He got out of the car and went to get this adulterer and adulterer.
Seeing this, Gao Kan hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't be anxious, Coach Lin. This is just my inference. There is no evidence for one thing and it cannot be used to catch someone in bed. If you go back like this, how can he and the two of you admit it?"
"If you call me three punches and two kicks, how dare the traitor deny it?" Lin Chong said angrily.
"Isn't that just giving in to defeat?"
Gao Kan smiled on his face and said calmly: "Don't worry, Coach Lin. I have already taken care of this matter, and I will definitely not let the members be harmed by traitors. Just wait and see what happens."
"Young Master, have you already planned something?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.
"It's not because of this. It's just a mistake. It's just that Lu Yuan is a foreigner and he has his own destiny."
With a sigh, Gao Kan asked the driver to hurry up and return to the Hegang station.
In the He Gang station, Yang Zhi and others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Gao Kan and his two men coming back, they hurriedly went out to pick them up.
Get off the carriage and take a seat in the hall.
Gao Kan said with a smile: "Everything has been done in this trip. When Master Zhongshu's documents arrive, the second head of the family and the brothers on the mountain will be found. I am very happy and congratulations."
"It's all thanks to the grace of the young master. I'm so grateful." Jiang Jing hurriedly stood up and bowed.
Seeing this, Gao Kan smiled and raised one hand: "You don't have to be like this, the second master. You and I have known each other for a while. I know that you are a hero. You are different from the treacherous Xiaoxiao, so I should plan for you."
"But after all, I was afraid of causing others to gossip and hurt the second master again, so I decided to ask the second master to stay in Daming Mansion temporarily. It just so happened that there were some chores here, so I would trouble the second master."
"Young Master, no subordinates dare to disobey your orders." Jiang Jing agreed.
Nodding slightly, Gao Kan said: "The previous discussion between me and Shopkeeper Tian, the financial route from Tokyo to Daming Mansion has been opened up now. If we want smooth business, abundant financial resources, and a way out for all our brothers, we must not do what we did before. If you’re just messing around, you still have to do decent business.”
"So I intend to establish a certain number between the two places. Damingfu will use the Hebang Station as the main station, connect Neihuang Wharf as a transit point, and then call Tokyo Bianliang a good place. This can be done."
Gao Kan had a plan in his mind to connect Daming Mansion with Tokyo-Bianliang trade route.
Neihuang Pier is used as a transit point to transport various types of goods between the two places.
They set up a trading company and appointed Tian Mi as the shopkeeper and Jiang Jing as the general manager of the accounting room. If the two of them cooperated well, they would have a steady stream of financial resources.
Gao Kan had discussed this matter with Tian Mi before, and bringing it up again would make Jiang Jing prepare.
Jiang Jing heard this and hurriedly continued: "Thank you for not giving up, Sir, for showing your trust. I am willing to obey my orders and repay my service."
"The second master's words are serious. From now on, I will change my title. From now on, I will call the second master Mr. Manager."
Gao Kan said with a smile on his face.
When Lin Chong and Yang Zhi heard this, they stood up and congratulated him.
"Mr. Steward, from now on I will depend on you for food and drink, so I need to take good care of you."
"Congratulations, sir, you are now out of trouble."
Lu Zhishen also smiled and said: "Brother Jiang will be blessed in the future, but don't forget the Sa family and treat them to drinks."
Jiang Jing smiled and clasped his fists, returned the courtesy and said happily: "Thanks to the Young Master's promotion, I am truly worthy of the respect."
After a sermon, everyone was happy and did not make too many appearances. He also left the matter to be cured and left it all to Jiang Jing. Gaokan called Lin Chong and Yang Zhi to take care of the ships and sail them out.
He also called Lu Zhishen aside to talk.
"Master Lu, from now on the second head of the family will be responsible for money and food matters. Coach Lin and Coach Yang usually follow me around. When Master Zhongshu's documents arrive, Huangmen Mountain will make me worried. I have to find a trustworthy general. Only when you are in charge can you feel at ease."
"What do you mean? Just tell me." Lu Zhishen said bluntly.
"Master, I would like to invite you to go up the mountain and work with Commander Tang. He is responsible for running the army, and you are responsible for disciplining it. In the future, recruiting troops and training people will all depend on the two of you." Gaokan explained.
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he glanced at Gao Kan and said, "It's not okay to ask me to go up the mountain to discipline the troops, but what does Commander Tang mean to him, that he deserves to go with the Sa family?"
Hearing this, Gao Kan smiled and said: "Master is a hero, but Commander Tang is the commander of the left-behind department after all. He has official duties and is a generous person. You will know his character after spending a few days with him."
"The ugly things about the Sa family come first. If that guy is not a good man, don't blame the Sa family for being unkind." Lu Zhishen said in a deep voice.
"As it should be."
Gao Kan knew that Lu Zhishen was a reckless man. Anyway, he only needed to agree to go up the mountain to discipline the people.
As for Tang Heng, after spending many days together and hearing about their relationship with Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, I got to know him as a person.
Regardless of anything else, at least there shouldn't be any conflict when paired with Lu Zhishen.
Even Tang Heng was a drunkard. He drank with Lu Zhishen morning and night, so he didn't worry about it.
With such an arrangement, Gao Kan also had many good people like Lin Chong around him to help him. If something happened, Yang Zhi would not be left alone.
After the entrustment was completed, one day later, someone from the Zhongshu Mansion came and delivered official documents. It happened that the field rice escort and cloth grain had also returned from Neihuang.
If so, Lu Zhishen was asked to lead a team, carry documents, and escort the grain back to Huangmen Mountain with the ship.
Gao Kan, together with Yang Zhi and Lin Chong, took a dozen more people with him and returned to Tokyo by land, taking care of some things along the way.
On the Daming Mansion side, Tian Mi and Jiang Jing were entrusted to see if there was any good business in the city. Secondly, they were also asked to sort out the business affairs, recruit troops and buy horses, and also get information on the side.
All the calculations have come true, but Gaokan still has a big calculation on his trip.
After leaving Damingfu, they did not go towards Bianliang, Tokyo. Instead, they turned to Handan, detouring thousands of miles, and it took more than ten days before they entered the city of Handan.
At this time, the situation in Hebei was calm, but under the surface calm, there was an undercurrent that no one knew about.
