Chapter 10 Wealthy Merchants in the Southwest

"Are you hurt? Where is the injury in Yiliang this time? Did you kill it? ”

Joy has overwhelmed Yang Shiqin's mind, among his three sons, only the third child has been by his side for the longest time, day and night, the third child of the Yang family has become Yang Shiqin's weakness, this Ding Baojun went to Yiliang and there was no news, this Yunnan Wanjia Buddha, almost became a living Yama, the Yang family's knife hands in Kunming were gathered by him, just about to leave, he got the good news that the third child opened his mind.

"It's all right!"

Yang Meng grinned and rubbed his almost crushed palm, and couldn't help but marvel at the strength of his cheap father's hands.

"Bao Jun, from tomorrow outside the city of Kunming, there will be a ten-mile long street banquet, and it will be done for a month first. Let the horse gangs from all over the country come back, and bring some strange objects on the way, and congratulate our three masters on opening their minds. ”

In Yang Shiqin's mouth, his three sons have become the third master, what do you say this happiness has become, listen to the meaning of his words, he doesn't plan to do business anymore, Yang Meng was so uneasy in the past!

"Dad, forget it, it's too ostentatious and hateful, I don't think the master wants to see it, let's celebrate it at home."

The ten-mile long street banquet is still a month, how much does it cost, and then there are people who are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, so they are afraid of making people red!

"Okay! Listen to you, and the brothers who go today are one hundred eagles, and the others fifty, and the same is true for those who are outside. ”

Since Yang Shiqin has opened his mouth, he has to be a little loud, even if he is his son's father, it is worth the price.

Yang Meng was really speechless, how big a deal this Yang family has, although I don't know what Yingyang is, but looking at the looks of those knife hands around him, the amount is definitely not small, it seems that what he wants to do has a minimum financial guarantee.

"Dad, I also brought back a few people, you can settle them."

The two beauties, one big and one small, are still around! Since you brought it back, you have to settle it.

"Don't worry about this, Bao Jun has always done things safely, go back to the house with your father, and let your father see your injuries."

As soon as he heard that his third child was injured in Yiliang, Yang Shiqin was anxious on the spot, and planned to go to Yiliang in person with his people, if it weren't for Ding Baojun's resistance, Yiliang County would not be in such a situation today.

The old man and young master of the Yang family returned to the inner hall of Wuzhuang, and the swordsmen inside and outside the courtyard also dispersed quickly under the command of Ding Baojun, Cen Yuying, Ma Qinghu brothers and sisters, and the stunner were placed in Wuzhuang.

In the lobby of Wuzhuang, Yang Shiqin couldn't stop groping on Yang Meng's body, for fear that his son would have any internal injuries, and after taking a closer look, this old man Yang who shook Yunnan moved a chair and sat down next to Yang Meng, and the tears in his eyes never disappeared for a moment.

Yang Meng's heart was awkward in addition to being moved, and it was because of Yang Shiqin's deep affection for his son, but the two old men were next to each other, and he felt even more awkward.

Yang Shiqin didn't speak, just looked at his third child quietly, sixteen years, no matter how many Langzhong and the master were invited, it was to no avail, but I didn't expect an accident to open my son's mind, and God made people!

This trick is also appropriate, the third child should also marry a daughter-in-law, at the beginning, he was still afraid that the new daughter-in-law would be beaten to death, this matter dragged on for two or three years, and he also reached the age of holding his grandson, although the boss said that there were a few, but Yang Shiqin always felt that there were shortcomings, and now he thinks that he is the third, and he has finally waited for a success in sixteen years.

"Dad, don't look at me like that, weird."

It's been a long time, Yang Meng really can't stand it, he hasn't been seen like this except when he was interrogated, and if he doesn't say anything, this half-old man is afraid that he can keep watching.

"Good! If you don't watch, don't watch, then you just talk, Dad loves to listen! ”

Yang Shiqin moved the chair under his buttocks, saying that it was moved, but the chair was still close to the place where Yang Meng was sitting. The sixteen years of melancholy in my heart are gone, Yang Shiqin is in good spirits! As long as it is what the third child says, after listening to it, it is like eating an elixir, and it is indescribably comfortable.

"Let's talk about it, Dad! I was beaten in Yiliang, and the wound on the back of my head hurt when I spoke. ”

Yang Meng really has nothing to say, what can he say to a half-old man?

"Oops...... I forgot about it, okay! Whatever you want to hear, Daddy will tell you. ”

Yang Shiqin was excited, and he forgot the time, unaware that it was almost dawn now, and Yang Meng had just arrived, and his nerves were also in a state of excitement, except for the faint pain in the back of his head, there was no trace of fatigue.

"Let's talk about our business! On the way, I heard Uncle Ding say something, and he said that you know this matter best, so you can talk about the business. ”

This is a channel for your own goods in the future, listen to a number in your heart, what kind of goods are produced, and there is a reference.

"Buying and selling! It's nothing more than selling low and selling high to find buyers, this Yunnan is a good territory, there are many things to buy and sell, and there are many merchants who want things. The difficulty is in the business road, the business road is opened, and the wealth is rolling, and our family's business is the business road. ”

Speaking of his family history, Yang Shiqin was a little absent-minded, and it was over in a few words.

"Then what kind of business routes do our families have, Dad, tell me, I love to hear this."

The words of the third child made Yang Shiqin smile, and he stroked the long beard under his chin, and also raised his interest.

"At the beginning, our family was to take over your grandfather's family business, your grandfather was a tea merchant, supplying Tuo tea to the caravans all over Yunnan, and the caravans took these Tuo tea, and the good goods were transported to Sichuan, and the bottom goods were transported to the Tibetan border, and the food to feed the family was enough, but when my father came to Yunnan, he also brought a group of brothers, and it was a little difficult to make ends meet by making tea and selling tea.

In order to get more inputs, plus Dad and your uncles, know the road between Sichuan and Yunnan, so Dad got his own horse gang, at first by your uncles to take care of, the big deal will attract the local knife hands in Yunnan, they are also easy to use, a few of their own people to take care of it.

Your uncles freed their hands and explored the route of the Tibetan border, where there is a great demand for Tuo tea, most of the tea in Tibet comes from our side, this road is also a financial road, and we account for most of it.

After that, it will be the first line of Annan and the first line of Guangdong, these are the credit of your eldest brother, and I didn't interfere much.

With the trade route and the money, my father pondered that tea was a good thing, so he began to buy tea mountains in Yunnan, and the money he made more and more money came and went.

Why do you ask about this, it is difficult to take a business road, our family has your eldest brother to support you, you just have to do what you want to do, and the family business earned by your father is enough for you to spend. ”

His third son inquired about this, didn't he want to go out of the way, but when he thought of this, Yang Shiqin was reluctant to go on.

Yang Shiqin said lightly, Yang Meng could hear the Tao inside, these trade routes, eighty percent of them are not from the right way, but when it comes to the sale of armed escorts, there must be a lot of disputes inside.

"Then our family doesn't do anything else except tea?"

Listening to Lao Ding's meaning, this old man seems to be quite resistant to opium, don't start a business by yourself, and then provoke the old man, with his strength, presumably his kung fu is good.

"In addition to opium, as long as it is profitable, our horse gang has it. The third child! You have to remember that you can't touch opium at all, that thing is very harmful! ”

Sure enough, this Yang Shiqin is resisting opium, it seems that his own affairs are going to be planned in private, and if he says it now, he is afraid that it will make the old man angry, and it will be bad if he doubts himself again.

"On the way back, I saw a lot of opium grass in Yiliang! Are there many kinds of them in Yunnan? ”

I have a thousand clever plans, and I have to have raw materials, and the old man doesn't let me touch it, so I can only figure it out by myself.

"Zhouda livestock on dog days, half of Yiliang's fertile land is his, and the income from the field alone is enough for him to spend, and he still makes a living from these lowly livelihoods, he should really be slaughtered!"

As soon as he heard about Yiliang's opium fields, Yang Shiqin was also angry, without these opium cultivators, there could be so many big smokers in Yunnan, since this harmful thing was sold to the Qing Dynasty by foreign devils, hundreds of people have been dismissed among the swordsmen of the Yang family, and these are all caused by opium.

"Zhou's livestock?"

As soon as Yang Meng heard this, he became interested, he was short of plantations? I don't know if this week's big animals can meet their own requirements.

"That's right! It's a big livestock, this old bastard, the start is not clean, when the rebellion in western Yunnan he was a leader of the Qing army's green battalion, suppressed the rebellion, this old boy began to buy land in Yiliang, and did all the three indiscriminate livelihoods. Over the years, this old Wang Ba has also started human trafficking, if it weren't for the fact that he came from an official family, Lao Tzu would have killed him a long time ago. ”

This dad is also a good person! It can resist opium and hate human traffickers, and it is not bad. Speaking of human trafficking, this Zhou Da livestock can be regarded as having a fate with himself, but he doesn't know whether he is involved or not, and it would be better if he did.

"Daddy! I was beaten in Yiliang this time, just because of human traffickers, is it the hand of this Zhou Da livestock? ”

The matter of the stuffy stick has already come to an end, but Yang Meng still wants to test his old man's attitude.

"Just him? Borrow him a dog guts, he won't dare to attack you, Lao Tzu won't do him, isn't he taking care of the face of the Yunnan gentry? Most of the traffickers in Yiliang are from the Zhou family, and this time my father will give you a bad breath. ”

As soon as he heard that his son's injury was related to Zhou Da's livestock, Yang Shiqin still had a little shadow of the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families, and he was clearly a mountain king and a living Hades.

"No need, do your own thing, when I get better, I'll go to meet this week's big animal, slaughtering him won't cause trouble for my father, right?"

If the old man relaxes, his own business will be settled, let him do it and play a fart by himself?

"It's just an outdated fart official, and the things are done secretly, and no one dares to look for you."

With this sentence, Yang Meng's heart also has a bottom, but it is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to take away family property, so let's listen to the old man's opinion!

"Isn't it a pity that he has 10,000 acres of fertile land under his hands?"

"What do you want to do? The production is not much, and we have to worry about it, our family in Yiliang's grange, but also just to supply their own rice grain, if you want land, tomorrow I will get you a big grange in Kunming. ”

This is the tone of a wealthy businessman, although Yang Shiqin said that there are countless fields in his hands, but most of them are distributed in tea mountains all over Yunnan, where can you not buy food if you have money?

"It's simply good land, and it's good to take it over and raise some knife hands, it's a pity to throw it away."

After listening to the old man's words, Yang Meng already had a plan in his heart, and the grange of Zhou Da Livestock still had a lot of benefits.

"If you really want to do this, you have to get through the relationship with Yiliang County, then Jiang Yuanji is a corrupt official, give him some benefits, let him deal with Zhou Da's livestock in the yamen first, in Yiliang it is not him Jiang Yuanji has the final say."

With the old man's idea, Yang Meng was relieved, this relaxation, he really felt a little tired, a small yawn, Yang Shiqin also glanced outside the hall, the sky was bright, his third child hurt the back of his head, and he still had to raise it for some time.

"Go back to sleep! It's not right with my father, who dragged you to talk all night. Completely forgetting that you are hurt. ”

Seeing that his son was sleepy, Yang Shiqin also complained that he was overjoyed, beckoned his subordinates, and arranged for his son to go back to rest, but he plunged into the Yang family ancestral hall located in Wuzhuang, burned incense and paper, and worshiped for a morning, before returning to rest with full joy.
