"Yang Yi, this is your family's first product?"

Seeing the barge of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Nanyang sail away from the Jiujiang Wharf, Lin Puqing asked Yang Yi with a slight sarcasm.

"Alas...... Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! The third guy is a gangster, and no one pays attention to it!

The things in the house are all misunderstandings, the third child's subordinates are still quite measured, and the third child also treats you as his own family, otherwise he wouldn't be like this. ”

The relationship between Yang Yi and the Lin family is constantly cut, although this incident is a bit outrageous, but it may not be able to bring the relationship between the two families closer.

"This matter is understandable, but it is not a blessing to let such a domineering person handle foreign affairs and take charge of the authority of Jiangnan!"

Yang Meng's boat, how many cannons stood on it, Lin Puqing saw it clearly, the fleet composed of five Western steamers was unique among the sailors of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also unique among the sailors of the Qing Dynasty.

"The affairs of the imperial court, the third child has his own plans, even if we want to interfere, we can't intervene!

Although the third child is domineering, when dealing with major matters, he is still quite measured, and I am not as good as the third child! ”

Yang Yi also questioned Yang Meng's temper, but did not question his ability, and after listening to Yang Yi's witty words, the Shen couple also fell into deep thought.

Yang Meng on the ship didn't care about these bad things, now Britain and France are big things, and many things have to be carefully considered, and he ordered the people below. It enters Guangdong through the Xiangjiang River. Yang Meng began to discuss with Xu Ziwei and other staff. The five major ports in the south of the Yangtze River, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai, are all within his authority, and how to tightly control the five major ports is Yang Meng's first problem.

For two or three days, Yang Meng had been planning this matter, and after the ship arrived in Guangzhou, Yang Meng sent a note to the Liangguang Governor's Palace. Although he does not have the name of the minister of Nanyang, there is still the word "Qincha" in the official official name.

Guangzhou is Yang Meng's first stop, and it is also the place where he wants to set up an official office.

In Liangguang, Yang Meng is not a rootless wanderer, Guangdong Governor Pan Shicheng. But the Yang family is really hardcore, after Yang Meng arrived in Guangzhou. Ding Taichen arrived at Yang Meng's ship as soon as possible.

"Third master, I'm afraid I've encountered hard stubble this time, this Ye Mingchen is not easy to deal with!"

The hard stubble that Ding Taichen refers to is Ye Mingchen's official position, this Ye Zhongtang not only has the real power of the governor of Liangguang, but also has the hat of a scholar of Tirenge, a real Zhongtang adult!

The authority of the governor of Liangguang is greater than that of Yang Meng's minister of Nanyang, and above the official position, Ye Mingchen's Tirenge scholar is also greater than Yang Meng's suspension of the military department.

Judging from the table, this Ye Zhongtang didn't take Yang Meng in his eyes at all, since Yang Meng's barge arrived at the Guangzhou dock, it has been half a day, and I'm afraid that it will be dark, Ye Mingchen has not brought his subordinate officials to take over so far, and it seems that he is also going to give Yang Meng a dismount.

"Hard stubble? Lao Tzu hasn't encountered a hard stubble yet! Playing this trick with me, I'm afraid that Ye Mingchen is looking for a draw! ”

Hard stubble, Yang Meng really hasn't encountered one, the only thing that can make Yang Meng feel some pressure is the former military aircraft chief assistant Qi Liaozao, the method of checks and balances has been played to the extreme, as for Ye Mingchen, in Yang Meng's eyes, he is just a fool.

"Third master, Ye Mingchen's official authority in Liangguang is extremely strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a word, since he took office, Master Pan has also been suppressed by him.

Although Master Pan has the meaning of avoiding his edge, but really against Ye Mingchen, in the officialdom, Master Pan is not his opponent. ”

Ye Mingchen was extremely stubborn, and he did not entrust anyone else with any affairs that fell within the authority of the governor of Liangguang, and sometimes even acted beyond his authority.

In Liangguang, whether it is the governor or the political envoy, or the general stationed in the garrison, they all have to rely on Ye Mingchen's snort to do things, and the slightest disobedience is endless suppression.

These two Guangguan official offices are said to be Ye Mingchen's words, and they are not the same, Ye Mingchen and Yang Sanye are both strong people, but I am afraid that after the two of them face each other, a big war is inevitable.

The Yang family's forces in Liangguang are mainly concentrated in places like prefectures and counties, and they are fighting against Ye Mingchen in the official face, and these state and county officials do not have much strength at all.

"Hmph...... It's a good thing to don't let go, let's see? It's just that we are not in Guangzhou for a day or two, we will live on the boat tonight, as for the house, wait and see, I still like Lixiangyuan. ”

For Ye Mingchen, Yang Meng has no fear at all, if this Ye Zhongtang knows each other, if he doesn't know each other, Yang Meng also needs to teach him the truth of being a man and doing things.

"Third master, most of us don't know the relationship with the Pan family, if you live in Lixiang Garden, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Master Pan to do it.

Let's talk to Master Pan in the light and dark, and it is easier to do things in the officialdom, once Master Pan is in the light, I am afraid that ......"

Ding Taichen's scheming was naturally not shallow, and when he heard that Yang Meng was going to stay in Lixiang Garden, his brows furrowed.

The first few times Yang Meng came to Guangzhou, he quietly stayed in Lixiangyuan, this time he was the minister of Nanyang, to garrison Guangzhou, once he lived in Lixiangyuan, wouldn't it expose the relationship between the Pan and Yang families?

"Hmmm! You're right, let's talk about this matter, if it doesn't work, just play a play and let my old Taishan give up Lixiang Garden!

The location of Lixiangyuan is unique, not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also if you build a fort on the mountain, you can overlook the harbor of Guangzhou, and it is more convenient for us to do things if we live outside the city. ”

The location of Lixiangyuan is good, the environment is also good, to Guangzhou, Yang Meng did not have the idea of starting a new house, living in Lixiangyuan is the best choice.

"Third master, I'm afraid this thing won't work, Master Pan's side, tired of being in Lixiang Garden all day long. You want to kick Master Pan out. It's not easy! ”

Ding Taichen: This is a joke. A house like Lixiangyuan, as long as the third master has a heart, it is enough to start another one, and earn a house with Lao Taishan, but I am afraid that the old man of the Yang family will jump his feet.

"It's not a joke, the woman in the back house is coming, there are many people living in the city, it's hard to do things, Lixiangyuan is a good place to live. Are there any other gardens available around Guangzhou?

Don't be near the mouth of the Pearl River! ”

Although the great powers have a joint concession area of Britain, France and the United States in Shanghai Road, Guangzhou, which is close to the location of the governor of Guangzhou, is a gathering place for ministers from various countries, and the political significance of Guangzhou is the most important.

The official office was set in Guangzhou, and Yang Meng also had a military examination school, and it was said that Shanghai Dao was the most suitable for setting up an official office. But today's Yangtze River waterway has nailed such a nail as Tianjing. Moreover, the power of the Yang family's new army has not yet expanded to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is still necessary to turn Guangzhou into an external administrative center with the power in the hands of Guò.

Since you want to settle in Guangzhou, this house is of course the top priority, and the house in Linjiang is vulnerable to shelling, and Yang Meng still has a plan for this matter.

"Then there is only the original Wu family's mansion left, this house is in our hands, but no one has lived in it for the past few years, and if you want to live in it, I'm afraid you will have to repair it."

The Yang family has a lot of real estate in Guangzhou, and many of the original fifteen business alliances are in the hands of the Yang family.

"Trouble! Let's talk about it! You put the areas outside Guangzhou that are prone to shelling, and you also get a drawing of the streets and alleys in Guangzhou, and choose a boundary outside Guangzhou, let's start with entering the city. ”

Ye Mingchen holds the authority of Liangguang tightly, if he does not deal with it in time, this Ye Mingchen will definitely become a constraint in the future, beating Ye Mingchen, Yang Meng plans to start with the foreigners entering the city.

Until nightfall, Yang Meng didn't wait for Ye Mingchen and others to come to pick him up, it seems that this Ye Zhongtang is planning to put Yang Meng right with him.

In the second half of the night, the old Taishan Pan Shicheng secretly got on the barge, after all, some things need to be kept secret, and the relationship between the Yang Pan family is one of them.

"Old Taishan, most of this Guangzhou is our private property, how can it be regarded as our own territory? What's it like to be sneaky on your own turf? ”

Looking at the radiant Pan Shicheng, Yang Meng also made a joke.

"Huh...... The prestige of your Yang Butang is too great, in order to deal with your Yang Butang, the governor has specially arranged for the officials of the two Guangzhous to gather, and Yang Butang still needs to be careful! ”

While joking, the two sons-in-law talked about the situation in Liangguang, and Ye Mingchen gathered the officials of Liangguang, which was obviously a provocative action.

"Old Taishan, Lian'er is coming after a while, I don't know ...... habit of living in this Lixiang Garden."

"It's easy to say anything, but this thing can't be done, where will I live if your kid occupies Lixiang Garden?

The habit of your residence, the habit of living still here! ”

"Old Taishan, what if Yang Butang forcibly moves in?"

"There's no way, the official level crushes people to death, since Yang Butang wants to occupy it by force, then Pan can only beg for everything!

There are many gardens in Lixiang Garden, and half of them are also hundreds of large huts. ”

"Then it's decided, I wonder if there is anything important to discuss over there in Ye Zhongtang tomorrow?"

Borrowing, is a good way, Pan Shicheng's Lixiang Garden is not not not open to foreign guests, the old Taishan has a wide range of travel, from time to time to invite some officials to live in Lixiang Garden, Yang Meng to live in Lixiang Garden is also reasonable, it is said in the past.

"Xingdou, this Ye Mingchen is an official of the imperial court after all, if you come up and take away his authority, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

Speaking of business, Pan Shicheng also stood up, Ye Mingchen just turned fifty this year, and if he is the governor of these two Guangxi and a scholar of Tiren Pavilion, he can be regarded as leaning towards the government and the opposition, and his son-in-law and Ye Mingchen are right, but I am afraid that it will be easy to suffer in the official face!

"Authority, this thing, what you play is called authority, if you can't play it, it's a burden, Ye Mingchen is good at taking power, there are many affairs in this huge Liangguang and Guangzhou, the more you take, the more you will miss something, don't talk about other things, about this foreigner entering the city, the son-in-law will compete with it first!"

Yang Meng mentioned the foreigners entering the city, Pan Shicheng's brows also wrinkled, from Qiying to Lu Jianxuan, from Lu Jianxuan to Ye Mingchen, Yangyi was not allowed to enter the city, but it was the unanimous call of Guangzhou, and he was afraid that his son-in-law would be angry.

"Xingdou, be cautious in this matter! Around Guangzhou, from the common people to the officials, they don't treat foreigners very well, except for our merchants, I'm afraid that few people like to deal with those foreign devils, and it is best to postpone the matter of entering the city.

Ye Mingchen's official title of Renge University Scholar is to refuse Yangyi to enter the city, and he has won the emperor's appreciation, you have to push away the emperor and Ye Mingchen's proposition when you first come to Guangzhou, I am afraid that it will not be a blessing! ”

You can't do anything that is angry with the public, Pan Shicheng doesn't approve of entering the city, and there will inevitably be many contradictions after living together, this lives outside the city, Britain and France are frequently provoking, living together, how can they fight?

"Hmmm! I have my own share of this matter, Ye Mingchen is in the way, some things are really difficult to do, I can only take the road of Jiujiang.

When it comes to the theory, Lao Taishan will follow Ye Mingchen's statement, and it doesn't hurt to be more intense, after all, I want to occupy your house! ”

Ye Mingchen's negligence in dealing with the Liangguang Official Office, Yang Meng is not easy to interfere, his biggest weakness is that Tirenge University scholar, if you want to beat Ye Mingchen, you have to start with entering the city, otherwise it will be difficult to beat him to death for a while.
