Chapter 182: If you don't succeed in mental tricks, you can't be an official
"Adjutant General Yang of the Central Army, that sounds good! But I won't use the people and horses of Yunnan Governor, and if you force me to use them, I'll have to kill some of them. ”
It is good to supervise the Chinese army, but the people and horses of the green battalion cannot be used, and the minds of those people in the green battalion are not above the military, and there is almost no use of them.
After a battle between my open and secret enemies, Yang Meng whetted Lin Zexu's appetite, and asked for the price to pay back on the spot, and now is the time to bargain.
"Hmmm! I've also heard of the waste of green camps in Yunnan, but we can't all dismantle them! These people have lost the income of the green camp, and I am afraid that they will become the same existence as the rioters! ”
If the people are out of support, they are bandits, and the same is true for the officers and soldiers, Yunnan is already chaotic enough, and with the soldiers who have been cut off from the green battalion, isn't that adding fuel to the fire!
"Then you agreed to kill me, ugly words are ahead, there are many people killed, you have to bear the responsibility, I will do things according to your orders."
Speaking of business, how can this Yang Laosan still have a trace of recklessness, this scheming and strategy, saying that he is a fierce general, but he has wronged him.
"Hey! You kid, I have to listen to you for other things, why do I have to bear the responsibility for killing people? ”
Lin Zexu has also seen a lot of people who behave in a rough and deep city, this Yang Laosan belongs to this way, looking stupid, in fact, he is more shrewd than a monkey, but he can't capsize in the gutter.
The more scheming Yang Meng shows, the more benefits he will have for himself, but he can't be unguarded, such people sometimes act recklessly, this killing is not a trivial matter, don't be harmed by this kid.
"What does the superintendent do? Isn't it to keep you safe? Mark this for you! ”
"Hmmm! It's not impossible. Let's talk about it first. How many are you going to kill? ”
"Why don't you have to be fifty or sixty percent!"
"No! There are quite a few people who supervise the standard, fifty or sixty percent, isn't this a slaughter? So be it! If you can arrange an errand for them, this person can be dispatched as you want, and it is really unscrupulous to kill dozens or hundreds, and it is not impossible, but these people have to go to the government office, and you can't just kill them. After all, they have names in the roster. ”
The manpower of the superintendent cannot be all used by the Yang family, but it is not possible without the Yang family, the good and the bad are mixed, but the role of the superintendent is not too big, and there will be no war in Yunnan in the near future, even if there is, it will not be the turn of the superintendent to play.
After years of turmoil, Yunnan's superintendent has to have two or three thousand people. The Yang family solves part of it, and kills some people and warns part of it. If the Yang family mixes in a part, the superintendent will be basically available, and with these two or three thousand people, it is enough for himself to walk in Yunnan.
As for the Yang family's solution, it's not that Lin Zexu looks down on the Yang family, but that the people in the green camp are too unbearable, what to do, what to eat, what to eat, what to say, what to say, what the green battalion soldiers, two or three thousand people are raised in vain, except for the imperial court, no one has that ability.
"And this point, don't worry about me when you are old, I still have a deal there, you can't miss my business because of the ordinary points of the green camp, of course, when there is something, mark the absolute top."
In the past, as a general of the Green Battalion, Yang Meng had never ordered Mao, there were many rules for this, and he had to kneel and kowtow, Yang Meng was too lazy to go.
"It doesn't matter if you don't click on it, as long as you can go up when something happens."
Lin Zexu and Yang Meng have the same thoughts, this Yang Laosan himself is still very useful, and he can't be tied to the rules of the green camp, not only the green camp in Yunnan, but also the entire Qing Dynasty, whether it is the Eight Banners or the green camp, there are really not many soldiers and horses who can handle it, this rule has long been abolished, and it doesn't matter if you do it or not.
"That's it, it's time for dinner now, let's talk while we eat."
The Yang family and Lin Zexu each have their own abacus, but now they have common interests, that is, the foundation for the two families to work together, as for Lin Zexu's ability, Yang Meng is also very admired.
Lin Laohu is in the light, the Yang family is in the dark, even so, Yang Meng has been led by Lin Zexu several times, and he has set a way to deal with many things with Xu Ziwei and Wei Wu, but the result is still like this, which can only show that this Lin Laohu's skills as an official have reached the level of perfection.
During the time of preparing the meal, Yang Meng communicated with the old man vaguely, and Lin Zexu was the same, he also kept exchanging opinions with his guest Liu Cunren, as for his second brother, he was ignored by both parties at the same time.
Yang Yi also knew that now was not the time for him to speak, it was very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle, after returning to Yunnan, the luxurious days of the big family made him a little lingering, it seems that the old man and the third child, the road planned for themselves is good.
"Lord Lin, you see that my second brother has been with you for many years, I have some savings in my hands, see if I can ......"
There are some things that the old man and the second brother are inconvenient to say, but Yang Meng can say that buying officials is very common in the Qing Dynasty, and I believe that Lin Zexu will not have much opinion.
"Hmmm! You can plan this matter, I originally wanted Zhimao to take the path of the imperial examination, but now things in Yunnan are quite complicated, and it is not bad to get him an official position. ”
Yang Yi is his own disciple, and with the backer of the Yang family, now letting him go to the path of the imperial examination is a loss for Lin Zexu, it is nothing more than a common practice in the imperial court, and it is not impossible to be flexible.
"How is the general judgment of Yunnan Prefecture?"
At that time, the old man's first official hat was the general judgment of Yunnan Mansion, this time Yang Meng's appetite was greater, he wanted to top his second brother, from the position of Yunnan Mansion's general judgment, and took advantage of Lin Zexu's political achievements to put the second brother in the position of political envoy of Yunnan.
The general judgment is in charge of the water conservancy and transportation of Yunnan Prefecture, and this position, in the past two years, will be unmatched by any position.
Now that his second brother has a backer, there is no bigger official in Yunnan than his teacher Lin Zexu, this political achievement! As long as Lin Laohu nodded, it wasn't about how much or how much.
"The general judgment of the six products, yes!"
What is the Yang family planning, Lin Zexu knows that his closed disciple. Lin Zexu knows better how much ability he has. Take advantage of the treasure land of Yunnan. Accumulating some qualifications and then transferring to other provinces is Yang Yi's way, and it is almost impossible to stay in Yunnan.
The Yang family already has a copper salt ambassador of the three provinces in Yunnan, and according to this path, the Yang family wants Yang Yi to ascend to the position of political envoy or governor, but the imperial court will not hand over the power of Yunnan to the Yang family.
It is enough to have one Yang Shiqin in Yunnan. As for Yang Meng, who is a deputy general, he is not at the top of the grade at all, and the official position of the green battalion is also called an official position? Don't look at him with soldiers now! When the time comes, a reward from the imperial court will make him a decoration with the right to have no soldiers.
A big banquet in the Yang Mansion was peaceful and quiet, but the confrontation between the two Yang and Lin families was in full swing, the Yang family wanted to take advantage of the situation, and Lin Zexu also wanted to take advantage of the situation, and the focus was on the Yunnan copper in Jiejing.
Why did Yang Meng delay the time for Yunnan Copper to release Beijing. It's nothing more than to suppress Li Xingyuan and curry favor with the next governor, but I didn't expect it to be Lin Laohu!
Five million catties of Yunnan copper. After entering the Beijing Division, the bureau set up by the military planes for Lin Zexu was broken by half, and with the support of these five million catties of Yunnan copper, Lin Zexu could sit firmly in Yunnan for at least a year.
The bigwigs on the Jingshi side miscalculated, they thought that the Yang family would definitely not surpass last year in this year's Yunnan copper, and if they missed this, they gave Lin Zexu a chance.
This is also the reason why Lin Zexu was surprised when he heard that 10 million catties of Yunnan copper had become 5 million catties, but the amount of 5 million catties was already a lot, which was enough for him Lin Yuanfu to sit firmly in the position of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
During the banquet, Liu Cunren secretly made a few inconspicuous gestures, which in the eyes of Lin Zexu and Yang Yi, were just ordinary actions, but Yang Meng had a bottom in his heart, and Lin Laohu was in the middle.
After a big feast, everyone came to the flower hall to taste tea, the transaction between Lin and Yang has been completed, and now it is time to discuss the details, and there is no need to shy away from it. Yang Meng, Yang Yi brothers, and Liu Cunren, the guest of the scene, also had the opportunity to take a seat.
"Brother Yang, the matter of Yunnan Copper Solving Beijing ......"
After tasting a sip of the good tea soup, Lin Zexu did not slack off, and got down to business directly.
I came to Yunnan secretly, I was rushed out, the purpose was to stabilize the position of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, after this official position was secured, I could do other things, as long as my fold went up, this matter would become six or seven percent.
Du Wenxiu and others, who were in Beijing, could also be sent back to Yunnan. Taking advantage of the time of delivery, he killed a few more corrupt officials, and in the name of the imperial court, released a batch of relief grain, and the situation in Yunnan was basically settled.
"It's already at the Yanjin Ferry, just waiting for the coordination of the waterways of the provinces, and the ships are ready to set off."
This batch of copper courses in Beijing, half of the old and new, one is to save some freight, and the second is to confuse the military planes of the Beijing Division.
"Zhimao can take office now, the roads and water conservancy of Yunnan Mansion, I don't know if Brother Yang is familiar with it?"
The general judgment of Yunnan Mansion is a real shortage, although it is not very fat, but it depends on whose hands it is, this son is in the hands of the Yang family, it is a ladder that can reach the sky.
"Third child, do you have anything to say about this?"
Yang Shiqin waved his hand, and directly threw the conversation to Yang Meng, Yang Shiqin didn't know these things, now is the time to stare at each other, and he can't talk nonsense.
"Minghu Academy has a strategy for Yiliang, and when it was done at that time, Yunnan Mansion was also included. The copper factory belonging to Yunnan Prefecture can start construction of roads first.
The silver comes out of the copper and salt tax, and the manpower is paid by the farmer tenants, and tens of thousands of taels of silver can have a good result. As for water conservancy, Yunnan has suffered from a severe drought in the past two years, and all parts of Yunnan Prefecture are building their own water canals.
The rich families of Yunnan Prefecture will come out with silver and labor, and as for the strategy of controlling the water, it is still up to the government to take the idea. ”
Many of the things Yang Meng said have already been built, this is just a nominal thing, it doesn't matter if the private person does it and the government does it, but for the second brother, the gap is big, the government does it, that is the second brother's political achievements; If you do it privately, it has nothing to do with him.
"Good! It is worthy of the Yang family of benevolence and filial piety, you can all think of these trivial things, and you can live up to the blessings of the saints! The matter of Yunnan Mansion is done, and I ask for credit for Brother Yang. ”
Things are going extremely smoothly, this transaction is a happy one, and what the Yang family wants to do is nothing more than fame and fortune. The Yang family's pursuit of fame and fortune is worthy of praise, after all, it is the court and the people who make the ultimate profit, and what the Yang family gets is just a small head.
A Yunnan copper resurgence, the military aircraft regarded him as an assistant to the promotion, and the Yang family made him a feast to annex the copper class of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan provinces, and Lin Zexu was not too late, and consolidated his position as governor by taking advantage of the copper class to solve Beijing.
"Brother Lin, I don't know when I will take over? The copper class is still to be sealed by the governor. ”
Buying and selling is buying and selling, trading is trading, and it is right to pay both money and goods, the post of the deputy general of the third child of his own family, and the post of the second son of the Yunnan Prefecture General Judge, all need to be sealed by Lin Zexu, the governor, otherwise he can't get the goods after paying the money, isn't it wrong?
"Just for a few days! Jiongfu still has some things to explain on his side, and he has sorted out the miscellaneous matters in Yunnan, that is, when Lin arrived. ”
"Brother Lin, are you staying here or staying with Mr. Jiongfu these days? The third child has been arranged, and in Kunming City, a house has been prepared for you.
Let's not shirk this, you are Zhimao's teacher, our Yang family has this condition, we don't give it away or sell it, just live temporarily, and the right to be Zhimao's filial piety. ”
"Hey! Brother Yang said this, it's still a little late for this matter, the second and third of my family have already bought a house in Kunming, I knew this, I wouldn't break the bank. This is good, it wastes a piece of Zhimao's filial piety. ”
Living in the house given by the Yang family, that is, giving people a handle, such a thing, Liu Cunren can do, but Lin Zexu can never do it. (To be continued......)
