Approaching the end of the year, it is time for the managers everywhere to pay the accounts, the six tea mountains in western Yunnan have all belonged to the Yang family, the income of the tea mountains including the horse gang over there is very good, there are more than three million taels, the six major tea mountains in western Yunnan are in hand, and the Yang family has also opened a big source of wealth, and the income is enough to be worth the net profit of the Yang family for two years before.

The Yunnan business under the eldest brother Yang Yong also has a considerable income from the sale of Huguang tea tail materials into Tibet, and the balance of more than one million taels also proves the actions of the boss of the Yang family in trading. The good Yunnan tea enters Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang, and the coarse tea from all over the country enters Yunnan, and the Yang family makes a lot of money in the trading of tea.

Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Tibet, and the four provinces also have about 4 million profits, but this profit is contained in water, and on the whole, the income of foreign goods is about 3 million.

Pan Shicheng of Guangzhou City also sent account books, and in half a year, through the peeling and trading of fifteen business alliances, Yang and Pan earned two million taels in Guangzhou and Shanghai. The local products purchased by the Yang family were sold abroad through the Guangzhou trade route, and the income was not much, only about one million.

Yang Meng's biggest gold-absorbing project, Yunyan, was worth more than 10 million taels last year, and the foreign goods that could be exchanged for it were only worth three or four million taels.

Yunyan has already had a popular trend, and the next year, Yang Meng decided to expand the production of Yunyan indefinitely.

The Yang family's income last year was around 10 million taels, which is great news, seeing this huge number, Yang Shiqin couldn't help but rub his eyes, unimaginable! After two years of accumulation, the Yang family's business increased five or six times as soon as the third child made his efforts. And that's just the beginning.

The copper class and salt class of the three provinces, although they did not make much money last year, did not lose much money, if they do not count the five million catties of refined copper that were solved into the Beijing Division, then the copper class of the three provinces must have a surplus of hundreds of thousands.

Xishan Zero always has an income of hundreds of thousands, plus the Yang family's real estate rents in various parts of Yunnan, plus some other fragmentary income, there is also a million or so, these are all small money that can be spent at any time, and it doesn't matter if it is not recorded.

Then there is the black income of the Yang family. After exposing the shady curtain of the copper official, the Yang family made a huge windfall, but the gold and silver were all cellared by Yang Shiqin, but all the income from the copper official industry was involved. In addition to land and property, income from gold and silver. All were hidden. That's a lot of money, and it's also the back road of the Yang family.

In the first half of the year, Yang Fuliang plundered all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the harvest was not small, not counting opium, and the gold and silver harvested were fine and soft, and the antique calligraphy and paintings were also worth three or five million.

After the Yang family pacified the officialdom in western Yunnan, the gold and silver obtained by the third child who raided his house and extorted bamboo were also around two or three million. The intercepted imperial court taxes also amounted to hundreds of thousands of silver, and when these were all taken together, the Yang family's income was still extremely considerable.

The Yang family's income is huge, and it can be spent more. Yang Yong, the boss of the Yang family, Ding Baojun, Ding Taichen's father and son, are not very popular. Buying grain for land, the boss Yang Yong spends six or seven million a year to buy cattle, sheep and horses on the Tibetan side, which is also around three or four million a year.

Ding Taichen of Yiliang, repairing canals, building farms, and raising 8,000 new troops, the annual expenditure is also around three or four million, and his father Ding Baojun took over the burden of western Yunnan, and tens of thousands of recruits alone ate and drank last year, which is more than 4 million.

A year's income is not enough to spend, and more than half of the capital accumulated by the Yang family over the years has been spent.

At the beginning of the year, one or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for more than 1,000 or eight dollars, and in the middle of the year, the dogs of the imperial court made a bullshit strategy of silver money and silver, and the money was long in the market, and the most outrageous place was a tael of silver and five hundred money, and this in and out was a big price difference.

The Yang family's foreign goods received nearly 1.5 million taels of silver last year, all of which were collected when the money was expensive, and one million taels of silver was lost in such an unknown way.

The Yang family didn't want to collect money, but they could do it against the imperial court, which was expressly forbidden by Yang Meng, and the helpless Yang family stewards and bookkeepers could only eat such a nest and lose money.

Although Yang Meng's Yunyan can recover three or five cents of silver, it is far from being able to recover the gold and silver that have been plundered by the opium of the great powers for decades in two or three years.

The entire Qing Dynasty is now in a silver shortage, and the strategy of using the silver money and the expensive money is pure nonsense, and it will not benefit the court to play like this, the people will not get the benefits, and the merchants will also not get the benefits, and they will only cheapen the great powers and countries in vain.

Those bastards have now begun to exchange silver for gold in the Qing Dynasty to make a profit, and if this continues, the Qing Dynasty will be bullied by the foreign powers economically.

Judging from the imperial court's newspaper, it is not without a suitable method, opening a silver mine is a good method, the entire Qing Dynasty, the annual silver ore output is also a million, continuous mining, is also a solution to the urgent need.

The imperial court opened a silver mine, and Yang Meng slowly scraped back the gold and silver with cloud smoke, and in less than three or five years, the silver shortage would be greatly alleviated, but a word from the Qingliu people in the imperial court abolished this excellent strategy.

'Gathering people to hide traitors' is just such a reason, the strategy of opening a silver mine was shelved by the imperial court, Yang Meng read the newspaper at the time, just laughed at it, but he didn't expect the silver famine to make the Yang family also suffer a secret loss.

The Yang family's settlement at the end of the year, because of the relationship between the old man, took only three days to settle the matter hastily, of course, the rewards for the local stewards are indispensable.

The fine accounts of the Yang family, only the stewards and the account offices verified, this year Yang Meng's punishment for corruption was extremely harsh, and the income of the stewards in various places was significantly reduced, and the silver taels rewarded were also set by Yang Meng according to the return of Qin Ziqi and the account rooms.

Not greedy, not taking income, not decreasing, but also increasing, corruption and deduction of life is a trivial matter, if you don't get it right, it will also harm the family, most of the half a year, the stewards of the Yang family are much more cautious, compared with the reward of gold and silver, the loss of corruption and deduction is greater for the Yang family.

One conceals and the other makes a false report, and the loss is not small. With corruption and deduction, the loss of gold and silver is still a trivial matter, and the skilled steward and account office were killed for corruption and deduction, which is a greater loss for the Yang family.

This year, Yang Meng killed a lot of people, the corrupt officials in western Yunnan, the generals of the green camp, the stewards of the Yang family, the mountain people everywhere, the opium dealers in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangdong, the bandits of the Elders' Association, and the sea bandits in Lingdingyang, which is the reason why Yang Shiqin is in a bad mood.

Killing and injuring tens of thousands of people a year, the third child of his family brought wealth and sin to the Yang family. These news were reported by Yang Shiqin's people, and Yang Shiqin was also shocked by this number. The third child has many secret hands.

This number is still a conservative number, how many people the third really killed, maybe only Qin Ziqi knows the way!

Exhortation, how to exhort? Yang Shiqin knew that many people deserve to die, and it is wrong for the third child to be harmed. But without such ruthless means, it is not easy to suppress the foundation of the Yang family. In this regard, Yang Shiqin could only bear it silently.

This year's New Year's Day. Yang Shiqin did not set up a stage, nor did he organize any buffalo fights, this year Yang Shiqin plans to hold a water and land puja, one is to surpass the undead and the other is to pray for the blessing of Yunnan.

In the two consecutive years of drought, the most unfortunate people were not the tenants of the farmers, most of the tenants of the farmers in Yunnan belonged to the Yang family. In two years, Yang Shiqin could pat his chest and say that the Yang family did not starve to death a single tenant farmer.

The most unfortunate ones are the middle peasants and rich peasants in Yunnan, and most of the good and paddy fields are in the hands of landlords of various ethnic groups. The rich and middle-aged peasants cultivated some dry fields, middle fields, and mountain fields, and the drought hit them the hardest.

Nine out of the hundreds of thousands of rich peasants in Yunnan have now become tenants and long-term laborers of the Yang family, and most of the people who died of starvation during the two years of famine came from them.

The famine that lasted for two years was the worst this year, and the tenants of the Zhuang farmers who entered the Yang family were better, even if there was no output in the field, they could get some rations, and it was certain that they would not be able to eat enough, but they would not starve to death.

The Yang family's big projects in Yunnan, such as building canals and forts, are combined with porridge, taking care of food and housing, and feeding the laborers and their families in Yunnan, which is also one of the reasons why Yang Yong spends a lot of money.

But a famine, the family lost their land, and it was not easy to put anyone on them, although they barely survived, but these people did not live very well.

Yang Shiqin did water and land pujas in various parts of Yunnan, and also got the support of most of the Zhuang farmers and tenants and rich farmers, Yunnan can no longer be dry, the Yang family is a good person, but for two consecutive years the whole territory of the porridge, Zhuang farmers and tenants know best how much food they need, and the next year will be drought, but I am afraid that the Yang family will be defeated, and there will be countless dead people in Yunnan!

And last year, the best ones were some good landlords, those who ran rampant in the township and endangered one party, most of them were cleaned up by the Yang family, and these good people, Yang Shiqin did not allow Yang Meng to do anything to them.

There is land and grain in their hands, and the price of grain has soared year after year, and the income of these landlords in the past two years has almost caught up with the income of ten or eight years, and these landlords have also inherited the favor of the Yang family.

Ninety percent of the grain was bought by the Yang family, and the famine in the past two years has made the Yang family go out of Yunnan Mansion and out of western Yunnan.

After the successive turmoil experienced in western Yunnan, this year was relatively stable, Li Xingyuan used troops to fight the momentum, and then Lin Zexu also took the initiative to ignore western Yunnan, coupled with the Yang family's power in western Yunnan, the people of all ethnic groups saw the shadow of the Qingping world.

Although the overall situation in western Yunnan is good, Yongchang is still a nest of right and wrong, a bitter kiln for the people of all ethnic groups, Yongchang's tens of thousands of whistle training, Li Xingyuan is jealous, Lin Zexu is jealous, and the Yang family is also jealous because of Lin Zexu.

Drought, famine, not only back to the unsatisfactory, the Han people, the mountain people of all ethnic groups are not very happy, the seven incense meeting, Yongchang whistle practice, has become a tyrant in Yongchang, the villain in the eyes of the people of all ethnic groups.

Yongchang's return hatred of the seven incense clubs and group exercises, Yongchang's Han people are the same, many people who joined the incense club want to quit, and many sentinel exercises also want to quit, but it is easy to get on the boat and difficult to get off the boat.

Since Lin Zexu ordered to capture the head and backbone of the seven incense associations and Yongchang whistle exercises, Shen Zhenda's status among the people in Yongchang has become more and more high.

coerced the Han people, coerced Yongchang to practice, and Shen Zhenda's influence in Yongchang also reached its peak.

Lin Zexu, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, has been in poor spirits since the death of Mrs. Zheng, and the New Year is also the time for him to adjust himself, and he doesn't know what he can adjust to after more than ten days of leisure.

Hu Lai a year ago, has made Yongchang a little rumored that the grass and trees are all soldiers, Yongchang's matter has become a foregone conclusion, I am afraid that Shen Zhenda will be difficult, Lin Zexu Huairou, once Lin Zexu takes a step back, Yongchang's matter will be troublesome, and if it is not good to get the chaos in western Yunnan, it will rise vigorously again.

Ma Qinghu is also back, more than a year of experience, coupled with Du Wenxiu's daily teaching, this can be regarded as a material, both civil and military, and Ma Qinghu can also contribute to the affairs of western Yunnan in the future.

But Du Wenxiu, who is still in the prison of the Governor's Palace, is much more gloomy, in order to seek justice, he has been in prison in Beijing for more than a year, and this Yongchang talent is becoming more and more invisible. (To be continued......)
