As soon as the sky was bright, Yang Meng was called by his knife hand, and he only slept for four or five hours a day, plus there were too many things recently, last night, Yang Meng had a lot of dreams without a beginning and an end.

It's not spring. Dreams are not beautiful. Dreams, Wei Wu's appearance has appeared in dreams I don't know how many times, is this a sign? With the cold mountain spring called by the knife hands, Yang Meng washed his face, and his thoughts were much clearer when he was stimulated by the mountain spring.

"Arouse Mr. Wei, I have something to say."

Wei Wu is also used to getting up early, and when the swordsmen passed, this old Wei was already in the yard and started to strengthen his body. As soon as he heard that it was Yang Laosan who summoned him, Wei Wu's heart was also a little puzzled, the mind of this half-grown child was so difficult to figure out.

"Old Wei! I have a Qin Xiucai under my hand, which is a good material, so you will put more effort into it in the future and give me a good ****. I also have an uncle and brother named Sun Boqing, you can take it with you!

I have a lot of use for these two people, you also match them, let them learn to partner up, experience about half a year, you let these two people go to see me, I have a lot of things for a while, I'm afraid to forget, Yiliang here you have to put more thought! ”

Yang Meng hurriedly had breakfast, explained the matter, and took his swordsmen and went straight to the valley where the epidemic prevention camp was located.

Wei Wubai got two disciples, and he also added caution, this Yang Laosan is not good! These two have come from experience, and they are clearly Tao insurance. Originally, the things that were clear were a little blurry, and with Yang Meng's remaining half of the mountain spring, he wiped his face, and the Kuiwei body, which had just finished recuperating his muscles and bones, also shrank back a little.

Yang Meng and the others arrived at the epidemic prevention camp, the sky was already bright, these 8,000 people are now the basic training, Yang Meng did not plan to go directly to the establishment, where these people are going, he didn't count in his heart.

The eldest brother needs a lot of manpower to open the Ganshan trade road, and the Guangzhou trade road on the side of his father-in-law Pan Shicheng also needs someone to escort him, and the Yanjin Yangtze River Copper Road is also a goal.

Wei Huozi was assigning manpower, and when he saw Yang Meng coming, he didn't do anything serious, and ran to the valley mouth in a hurry.

"Third Master, we are now assigning people, do you have anything to say?"

"Wei Huozi, you are in charge of these eight thousand people, you want to have a majesty, so you still have the prestige of a fart?"

Wei Huozi directly picked up his men and horses, and came to see him, but Yang Meng didn't give him good words, the team of 8,000 people, Yang Meng was also pulled up for the first time, and he didn't have much experience.

"Hey! This epidemic prevention camp is not the biggest of the third master, these cubs are also very convinced, I don't bow my head when you come, won't the prestige of the third master be affected? No one can open this head, who dares to make a time, and Wei Huozi's fast knife will not agree! ”

"This group of people, according to the way of the knife hand, first practiced the knife fist and feet, you can talk about it! How long will it take for these people to be able to use it? ”

Yang Meng was noncommittal about Wei Huozi's sycophant, but he had requirements for the time to train people.

"Most of these people are a bit of a splash, and they have more or less two strokes in their hands, according to the method taught by the third master before, they can be used as knife hands in two or three months. Third Master! Do we arrange manpower according to the regulations of the green camp? ”

In the past, these people came according to the rules of the green camp, but Wei Huozi proposed this, and if he practiced according to the knife hand, the regulations of the green camp would be a bit big.

"No, you don't! Break them all up, a team of fifty people, let the group of old swordsmen in your hands and the people I gave you, practice with them, promote those who can use them, and return them to me if they can't use them, and I will deal with them.

You've also seen the gun training in Xishan, add this item to them, give you two months at most, these people must be able to use it! ”

Yang Meng has a lot of things in his heart, but he can train the troops carefully, now is not the time, the Yang family urgently needs a group of capable manpower, and now that the stall is bigger, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, in case they are targeted by the imperial court, these people should be able to repel the green camp in Yunnan.

"A month and a half, the third master came to inspect the goods after a month and a half, and the practice is not good! I'm not a Wei camel! ”

"That's it! Just two months! After a month and a half, I will give you a batch of muskets, these people must all practice, you have to have a preparation, give you half a month, let them learn to play with guns, as for the future, I will have my own explanation, you continue to train! For money and food, look for Taichen, I'm not in Yiliang recently. ”

Thinking of the heavy burden on his body, Yang Meng also lost his mind, and now these people are still far away! It's the same whether you look at it or not.

The third master did not enter the barracks, and left directly, which made the 8,000 people in the epidemic prevention camp hang their hearts.

"Bunnies! The third master was not happy to see you like a bear, but Lao Tzu made a military order, a month and a half!

When the time comes, if you bunnies can't take it, Lao Tzu will be unlucky! From now on, in addition to eating and sleeping, I will be leaned on, who dares to drag Lao Tzu back and let Lao Tzu lose face in front of the third master, before Lao Tzu is unlucky, I will kill you first! ”

Back at Yiliang Manor, Yang Meng sent someone to pack up, but Lian'er's little girl was squirming around the house, as if she had something to say.

"Don't you want to go to Kunming? Then you will stay in Yiliang, and if you miss me for a while, you will send someone to Wuzhuang to deliver the letter, and I will send someone to pick you up, and you must not leave the manor easily!

The horse farm behind Zhuangzi has been almost done, Taichen asked people to pull the cloth fence, and some bamboo was also moved around, be careful yourself, don't hurt yourself.

There is also the closure in recent years, I instructed Taichen to prepare some Yunnan specialties, you choose to see, in a few days I will send someone to Guangzhou, if you have any thoughts, also prepare in advance.

The Zhuangzi built by Pan Gui over there, if you want to go over and have a look, you must inform Taichen in advance, and don't go over by yourself. I have this in mind, so let you stay in the manor, or follow me to Kunming. ”

In the past few days, this little girl has also had fun, and when she heard that she didn't need to go to Kunming, she immediately nodded as if the chicken pecked the rice and responded to Yang Meng's request.

"Master, you're so nice! Let Qinglian accompany you in the past! ”

This little girl got the benefits, and she didn't forget to repay the favor, so she sold Xiao Qinglian easily.

"You don't have to worry about this, Qinglian is two years younger than you, now is not the time, pay attention when playing, don't get tired. Okay, look at the way you don't belong, I won't be a wicked person, let's play! ”

sent away Lian'er, Yang Meng found Sun Boqing and Qin Ziqi again, and sent these two to Minghu Academy to be Wei Wu's students.

After cleaning up Yiliang's stall, Yang Meng hurried back to Kunming, it has been nearly a month since his last shipment, and he must hurry up to make a batch of cloud smoke and send it to Guangzhou, so that his father-in-law can support the situation first.

Working day and night, it took Yang Meng seven days to get 50,000 catties, and with these Guangzhou, he could support it for a while.

Looking at the teams of horse gangs, constantly entering and exiting the West Mountain, Yang Meng frowned. Yunyan, when he named this thing, he was a little careless, although the eldest brother hid the heel of the Yang family, but once it became popular in the West, it was inevitable that he would inquire about the origin elsewhere.

The horse gang is easy to be followed, and now it has leaked the bottom, which is not a good thing, looking at the Dianchi Lake at the end of the valley, Yang Meng has other thoughts in his heart. Sent someone to find Jiang Shuxian from Minghu Academy, and it seems that he is going to break his promise.

"Lao Jiang, I have something to do when I came to you, I don't know if there is a problem with you."

Looking at Lao Jiang, Yang Meng felt that he couldn't bear him in his heart, this time the work was not easy to do, and it was not good to get this Lao Jiang......

"The third master just said, the family is settled, what problems can I have, Lao Jiang, I said before, this hundred and ten catties has been sold to the third master, if you have any instructions, just say it directly."

As soon as he heard Yang Meng's words, Jiang Shu knew that the work was not easy to do, but his family had the great benefits of the Yang family, and he knew what he was good at, and this crossing the mountains and mountains was his own life.

"Explore the waterways! Dianchi Lake has a waterway to Yiliang, and the waterway of Yiliang leads to the Pearl River, this time the job is to explore the Dianchi Lake to the Pearl River waterway. After this work is over, you have to explore the waterways of the Lancang River and the Red River, there are many risks in it, you have to think clearly. ”

Yunnan is mountainous, the risk of exploring waterways is not small, and some places are inaccessible, and it is not impossible to go back.

"The third master wants to transport goods by water? The waterway from Dianchi Lake to the Pearl River, I can now give a rough idea, this waterway is mostly available, but there are a lot of transshipments, and the light goods are still acceptable, and it is not helpful to transport salt and grain.

If you want to enter and exit Yunnan by waterway, it is best to use the Yanjin Tongdao waterway, which is the road after the Shuifu territory. But Yunnan is mountainous, easy to get out of Yunnan and difficult to enter Yunnan! If you want to return to Yunnan by water, the towing of the slender man is indispensable on the way, and the cost of returning to Yunnan by waterway is too great, which is also the reason for the Yunnan Dorma Gang. ”

Yunnan is hidden in the chest, this is not empty words, but although the third master's idea is good, it is extremely difficult to operate.

"Huh! Not bad! There is a thing in the West, called the steamer, burning coal to travel, according to the size of the steamer, can drag tens of thousands of catties, hundreds of thousands of catties of goods, do you say that with this waterway is still difficult to walk? ”

In fact, Yang Meng wanted to use the barge fleet, but he didn't see the actual thing of the steamer, and he didn't have a score in his heart.

"Is there such a strange thing? I had only heard of the ghost ships of the West before, but I didn't expect it to be so sharp, not to mention hundreds of thousands of catties, as long as there are tens of thousands of catties of steamers, this Yungui is no longer a wild place, and it is connected to all directions by waterway, and Lao Jiang took over this job.

Third master, if Lao Jiang dies on the road, he will have no regrets, but I ask you to leave Lao Jiang's name on the book book in the future, and open the Yunnan River for the first time, Lao Jiang should deserve it. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Shuxian also knelt down, the Yang family's actions were in his eyes, and he buried these things deep in his heart, thinking that under the rule of the Yang family, he would enjoy his old age in peace, but in his twilight years, there was a great good thing that fell on his head.

"I said Lao Jiang, how old are you, do you still care about this? You! If you don't get it right, you'll die on what you've learned. Go for it! As long as it is done, I will set up a monument for you on these rivers. ”

"Xie Sanye! The third master can rest assured, even if I use this old bone as a raft, I will also find out the waterways of Yunnan. ”

As soon as he heard the legend of the tree monument, Jiang Shuxian's old eyes bulged out, and the three rings of 'Bang Bang' hit the ground.

"You! Did Wei Wu arrange students for you there? If you have, take them with you and teach your disciples while doing things, don't you have children and grandchildren at home? also bring it with you, and learning some fur from the third master can also make them use it for a lifetime.

Your children and grandchildren, you might as well teach them some knowledge of mineral deposits, such talents, the third master will be of great use in the future. As for teaching disciples, you can keep some behind, and if you teach what you are proficient in, you may not be able to learn it well.

Manpower, money, materials, you go to Taichen, I give a note, he will understand when he sees it. ”

Yang Meng found a piece of paper, wrote some words crookedly, and threw it to Jiang Shuxian, holding the ghost drawing talisman, the geographer's mouth was crooked.

"Third master, don't worry! Mr. Wei is very sympathetic there, and allocated it to more than 50 disciples of Lao Jiang, these people are very knowledgeable, and they are all talents that can be created, as for Lao Jiang's children and grandchildren, forget it, if they were that piece of material, my ability would have been handed over to them a long time ago. ”

It's okay to teach disciples, but Lao Jiang feels that letting his children and grandchildren do this is not a good way to get ahead.

"Listen to me! Your children and grandchildren, studying in Yunnan will not have a good future, what you have learned is their means to gain fame, as long as the third master is in Yunnan, this will be counted! ”

Lao Jiang's thoughts, Yang Meng probably knew it, so he simply ordered him again.

"Done! Lao Jiang listened to the third master, and I promised to hand over my things to them at all. ”

"Remember! Now the most important thing is the Pearl River waterway, if you have time, you can also explore the waterway from Kunming to Yanjin, the third master will use these two waterways to ship recently.

There are also places for transshipment, which must also be selected, and after these locations are selected, they will be handed over to Taichen and asked him to arrange manpower to level the land and build a warehouse. Give you a month to explore the Pearl River waterway. ”

Without the eldest brother sitting in the Guangzhou trade road, Yang Meng is also a lot more cautious, his father-in-law Pan Shicheng is a celebrity in Guangzhou, and there will be no less eyes staring at him, and now the epidemic prevention camp has not yet become an army, as long as he is given another three or five months, the overall situation of Yunnan will be decided.

After the 50,000 catties of cloud smoke are gone, the next goods must go by water, and the transfer stations can also be turned into outposts and cut off the tails that follow the fleet.

As long as you enter Yunnan, things will be easy to do, and it seems that the states and counties in Yunnan in the waters of the Pearl River should also be in the hands of the Yang family. My uncles and brothers will occupy these places in advance.

The first line of Yanjin must also be guarded, that copper road, with a slight conversion, is the passage of the imperial court to transport troops, with the old man in charge of the Yunnan copper class, to grasp the river basin below Yanjin in Yunnan.

Without a smooth waterway, even if the imperial court wants to use swords and soldiers, in the face of the mountains and forests of Yunnan, it can only cry out in vain.
