What happened was that his translator Gao Peng came to report under the notice and entrustment of his father. When Danggang Village heard that Sujiacun had completed the donation of money and food arranged by him in three days, he was immediately excited.
When he got up, he didn't expect that it would go so smoothly at this time. In the past, he would have to send troops to coerce or even plunder elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, it was just a matter of words here. It seems that he has come to his own blessed land, and his future rule will be much easier. Gangcun thought with a smile on his face.
"By the way, is the donation enough?" Gangcun was proud for a while before he remembered to ask.
"Taijun, that's enough, it's far beyond. The squires here are very obedient and actually donated nearly 30,000 yuan and a lot of grain, as well as pigs, sheep, and a large amount of vegetables." Gao Peng quickly replied.
"What a good citizen!" Gangcun was even more happy when he heard this.
"However, they were worried that there were too many things and they were afraid of encountering bandits on the road, so they asked the imperial army to lead troops to receive them." Gao Peng added.
"Yao Xi, this is easy to handle. I will personally lead the team tomorrow, and yours will come with me." Gangcun ordered: "You go and prepare. I want to prepare a gift for Mr. Su."
"The Su family doesn't lack anything." Gao Peng said sourly when he remembered his father's embarrassment.
"Baga." Gangcun immediately scolded: "You must prepare carefully."
"Yes." Gao Peng trembled with fright. He thought for a while and said: "The Su family really lacks nothing. Why not send a plaque to their family to show the goodwill between China and Japan."
"Okay." Gangcun thought it was good.
Seeing Gangcun's face softening and praising his suggestion, Gao Peng's bones froze. He thought that this was his chance, so he stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Taijun Gangcun, I have one more thing.
Little things."
"What you say." Gangcun also felt that it was time to give this loyal dog a bone, so he said casually.
"It's like this." Gao Peng explained: "My father has put a lot of effort into this matter. In order to get everyone to donate more money and food to the imperial army to reward the imperial army for their hard work, he took the initiative to express his position in advance. He is
He donated five thousand yuan, second only to the Su family."
"That's great!" Gangcun nodded. He thought that Gao Peng also wanted a plaque, so he didn't care.
"Taijun Gangcun, this is a strategy in ancient China. It is the tip of the Thirty-Six Stratagems." Gao Peng pointed out.
"What exactly do you mean?" Gangcun, who didn't understand this at all, turned a little red on his face.
"That's right." Gao Peng immediately explained: "It was my father who said it first. If he paid more, the people behind him would not give less. That's why we raised so much money and food this time."
Gangcun stared at Gao Peng and asked: "No nonsense, what exactly do you want to say?"
Gao Peng felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but mutter that his father was messy and troublesome, but after all, it was related to his own interests, so he said boldly: "My father just wanted to let everyone have more money, but our family really couldn't afford it.
This much money, that’s five thousand oceans, enough to cover half of our family’s fortune.”
The cunning and treacherous Gangcun immediately understood two meanings from his words. One was that this boy wanted to pay less. Since he found him, he meant that Mr. Su had not agreed, which he could never agree to. The other was that he had never agreed to this.
Gao Peng could tell from his unintentional words that his family could still get it.
Gangcun Lu patted Gao Peng on the shoulder with a false smile and said, "You and your father are very nice. I understand what you mean. You want to return some of it."
"Our whole family is deeply grateful. I will do my best to help you in the future!" Gao Peng bowed immediately without noticing what Gang Cun was thinking.
"Then all the people who donated money will be very dissatisfied, and you are here as a errand. If they all withdraw the money, what will happen?" Gangcun's hand began to tighten.
A cold sweat immediately broke out on Gao Peng's face. He immediately slapped himself in the mouth and replied: "I deserve to die, Mr. Gangcun. Don't worry, our family will get the money together even if they sell iron."
"This is finally the best performance of our Big Japan, and we will not treat you badly," Okamura said.
"Yes, I will arrange your instructions right away." Gao Peng replied carefully.
