Chapter 189: Restructuring and Supervision (I)
After Lin Zexu left, Yang Meng also began to rectify the supervision, the only dozen or so generals left in the supervision, after weighing, silently left the school, asking for money or life, most people's choice should be the latter, the dumb overlord Yang Laosan came to supervise the standard, they could only take a step back.
These generals are all thin and have assets, they are more like officials than soldiers, and now they are gone, and after Yang Laosan retires, the superintendent is still their territory.
But although their abacus is good, but Yang Meng is not a white goods, the superintendent is now his Yang family's private army, and these superintendent generals, it is inevitable that there will be resentment when they are put aside like this, most of the things of the superintendent are difficult to hide from them, and they are only afraid that bad things will happen if they are kept, of course, these people are still dead, and they can keep secrets.
"Du Fuhu, the third master has an errand for you, are you willing to do it?"
It just so happens that the three tigers of the Du family are still missing the name of the vote, so let's take the generals of this drama to open the knife!
"The third master just says, we just do it."
"Those dozen generals, you must be familiar with the way! Be their whole family, and my people will dispose of their goods, remember! What Lao Tzu gives you is money, and what you take is only deadly poison. ”
"I'm going to do something!"
Du Fuhu did not hesitate, and as soon as he said hello, a team of seventy or eighty people also hurriedly left the school field.
"Follow them, whoever dares to hide the entrainment privately, and do it together. Those generals who supervise the standard are a bureau that absconds with money. ”
Set up a bureau to make the officials disappear, some time ago, the Yang family did countless games in western Yunnan, and they are also familiar with the way. As for the functions in their empty places. Just find someone to impostor you. Lin Zexu is old, and he may not be able to remember all these people, and besides, the barracks are full of human faces, such a thing should not be too noticeable.
After the Du family three tigers are done, it should be the old and weak of the superintendent, and most of these people left behind are safe and self-serving. It is also good to settle in a farm in Yiliang.
Many of these people are veterans of decades, and they are extremely familiar with the military formation, so it is a waste to disperse like this, and it is also a good choice to be sent to the Grange in Yiliang to train the militia.
"You people, are you willing to farm?"
"Third master, we are willing, but Yunnan has been in drought for many years, we are not without land, there is no land and no output. I can't support my family! ”
is still the old firehead, he is now the leader of the old and weak.
"Go to Yiliang. There is a good field over there. ”
"Third Master, what you said is true?"
"It's true!"
"Then I'll take the third master Xie Lu on behalf of everyone, and don't kneel down to thank you!"
As a superintendent, these people are relatively familiar with Yunnan Mansion, Yiliang's fields are watered by canals, and now at this time, Yiliang's fertile fields are not changed!
"The master still has something to explain to you, give the land in your hands to the stewards of the Yang family, and when you arrive at the grange, you must take the lead in participating in the exercises of the militia group.
After dispersing the old and weak of the superintendent, there are only Yang Meng and a dozen guards left in the huge west school field, and how to choose the superintendent's manpower is also a problem. The return of western Yunnan cannot be used now, and the superintendent cannot be used by all mountain people.
And he can't use too many manpower trained in western Yunnan, Lin Zexu is not a fool, so he can naturally distinguish between what is a good soldier and what is a bad soldier.
"Deliver a letter to Uncle Ding Feige in western Yunnan, and ask him to arrange the selected men from the new army of 1,000 and 5 Han Chinese; Among the farms, the mountain people who did not obey orders and had a rebellious temperament, as well as the soldiers in the original cottage, selected 3,000 people; Let them rush to Kunming within a month and a half.
Send a book to Qin Ziqi's flying pigeon and ask him to come to Kunming. ”
After ordering these, Yang Meng took people back to the Yang family's old house, and he had to let Xu Ziwei take the idea of setting up the superintendent, so as not to leak any flaws in front of Lin Zexu.
Elite soldiers can't be used, bad soldiers are not easy to use, this strange superintendent, if you want to train it, it's not very easy, Yang Meng set a base of 4,500 people, and the extra part is the loss of training.
As soon as he returned to the old mansion, Yang Meng was blocked by the old man with an angry face.
"Third brother, are you planning to kill all the miscellaneous soldiers of the Green Battalion?"
Just got Lin Zexu's message, Yang Shiqin was also a little annoyed, there are not a few people in Yunnan Green Camp, more than 40,000 people, the miscellaneous pieces in it account for the vast majority, and there are at least 10,000 smokers.
"I have this plan, but I haven't put it on the agenda yet, so let's start with the superintendent!"
Yang Meng has nothing to hide from the old man, the green battalion soldiers in Yunnan are not easy to use and save, and killing them is the easiest way.
"Bastard! That's 10,000 or 20,000 people! Say kill or kill? ”
Yang Shiqin was also angry, since the third child opened his mind, he has always cared about doing good, whether it is porridge or something, he will not discount how much it costs.
The Yang family does good deeds with the front foot, and the third person kills people with the back foot, this is not the way to accumulate virtue, killing three or five hundred, one or two thousand people is killing less and saving more, tens of thousands of people are killed, that is people slaughtered, no matter how much good deeds are done, they can't erase such sins!
"The smoke ghost is in chaos, and I have to kill it!"
For those who smoke a lot, Yang Meng has no good feelings, in the past two years, he has also killed people easily, opened his mouth, raised his hand, and saved a lot of trouble, why not do it!
"Bastard! With a sharp weapon in your mind, you have the right to kill and kill, but it is wrong to be thirsty for killing! Lin Zexu is right, you have taken a detour.
Saving people is what you should do, killing people to save people, that's not a mistake, that's a good deed. But killing people for the sake of peace of mind is wrong! It's sin! Don't let down the teacher's kindness!
Think for yourself how to behave! ”
The old man dropped such a sentence and left, and beads of sweat slowly oozed from Yang Meng's forehead. It seems that I have really gone astray, and I have completely forgotten what I am going to do?
"Don't bother me!"
Yang Meng dropped such a sentence, and silently walked into the main hall of the old mansion, sitting on the main seat with a golden sword. He also fell into deep thought.
Guangzhou business road, fifteen business alliances, and cloud smoke are selling well. so that the Yang family has a reliable funding channel; The shady scene of Yunnan Tongguan. so that the Yang family has a huge financial base; Yiliang is stable, western Yunnan is in hand, and the Yang family has land and people; With the establishment of Xishan Academy, the development of Yunnan is just around the corner; Yunnan merchants, farms everywhere, and officials in western Yunnan allowed the Yang family to firmly grasp most of Yunnan.
With these things, Yang Meng's heart also relaxed, and in the past half a year, he has paid attention to western Yunnan. is to pay attention to Xishan, he forgot the fundamental things!
Person! It is the most important thing, the thing that Yang Meng ignores. The 8,000 new troops under Wei Huozi are not really formed yet, and the tens of thousands of recruits in western Yunnan have not even touched their guns.
But the army, which has not yet taken shape, has obtained too many things, dozens of taels a year, and the land at home. In the past two years, there has been a great drought, but what can I do? What about after Yunnan's agriculture recovers?
Wei Huozi et al. Why do you follow the Yang family, it is nothing more than to be fed, in order not to starve to death, and when everyone has no worries about food and clothing, what will the Yang family rely on to maintain its rule over Yunnan?
It's a good idea to give money, to give more money, but where does the money come from? If it goes on like this, the appetite of the Yunnan New Army will only get bigger and bigger, so big that the day when the Yang family can't bear it, the day when the dream they weave is shattered, how terrible will it be to be a chaotic army, a chaotic army trained by professional soldiers? It's not hard to imagine.
In an instant, Yang Meng was soaked in cold sweat, he was not as the old man said, he went astray, but took the wrong path! The road of the peasant tenants is still getting along, but the road of the Yunnan New Army is really very wrong, and they should not give them land, and the best way to contain the Yunnan New Army with grain is to make a living.
As for killing, those are trivial things in Yang Meng's opinion, but they can be killed or not, but the old man's indirect reminder pointed out his mistakes to him.
How to break the previous wrong path by forming a new superintendent? Yang Meng thought a lot, and the most ruthless and effective way is grain, but the production of grain in the Qing Dynasty consumes a lot of manpower, if you want to get more grain, you have to make more efforts, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to separate the land from the people for a while.
The Yang family is now the largest landlord in Yunnan, and it is a good choice to turn all the farmer tenants into long-term workers of the Yang family, distributing grain according to the output of the land, and firmly holding the grain in their own hands.
The current situation in Yiliang has been decided, and it is not good to make major changes, but most of the land in western Yunnan has not yet been allocated, and a large number of people gathered in western Yunnan are no different from Changgong.
The land is compared to a factory, the product is grain, and the people of Yunnan are the workers, the Yang family is the owner of the factory, and the peasants grow grain, and what they get is not grain but silver. After the grain is harvested, it will be sold by the Yang family, so that whoever the Yang family lets eat the grain can eat the grain, and if no one is allowed to eat the grain, he can only starve to death, unless he leaves Yunnan.
Slowly, as the achievements of Xishan Academy increased, the Yang family needed more and more manpower, and when the time came, it would be much less difficult to drag the peasants off the land.
Starting from the reorganization of the supervision, slowly implement this strategy, so that their families become long-term workers, and the wages of farming can be increased now, so that the rest of the new army is blushing, so that there is unequal treatment, and the new army is bound to take the road of supervision, and when the time comes, it will ......
"Someone! Call Mr. Wei and Mr. Xu over! ”
What I think about is just a rough framework, how to implement it has to let Wei Wu and Xu Ziwei come up with a strategy, and then measure the gains and losses themselves, so that they can be implemented slowly, if you want to implement such a strategy, it is difficult to achieve results within three or two years, and you must be cautious.
"Master, it's already midnight, do you still want to call them over?"
Wei Zhiqing's answer made Yang Meng a little puzzled, didn't he look up? It was already dark in the lobby.
"Hmmm! Send someone to inform them that they will come to the old mansion early tomorrow morning to discuss matters, and you will prepare a pen and paper to record what I said. ”
"Master, it's time for dinner, let's eat first!"
"Let's do things first, and then we'll get down to business."
Wei Zhiqing went down to prepare the time for pen and ink, and she was not idle, so she asked the back kitchen to prepare a simple meal, and the two of them worked while eating, and they were busy until the second half of the night, before they sorted out Yang Meng's general ideas.
Wei Zhiqing recorded while looking at her husband with admiration, she was passed on by Wei Wuzhen, and naturally knew what Yang Meng was going to do, this is undoubtedly a killer move that can be used for eternity, neither harming farmers nor harming anyone's interests, but the Yang family's right to speak has been raised to an incredible level.
What the Yang family wants to hold is not the grain of a place, but the rations of the people of a province, whether it is a farm, a village, a county seat, or a market town, the grain is all from the Yang family's grain store, day by day, month by month, once there is a problem, as long as there is a lack of food, no one has to be obedient.
The man who focuses on doing things is the most attractive, and Wei Zhiqing, who has been recording, has a mist slowly rising in her eyes, how fortunate she is! Let her meet such a man.
"Read it to me again, I'm going to do it again."
This is related to the future development of the Yang family, Yang Meng can't help but pay attention to it, sorting, revising, polishing, and transcribing, until Wei Wu and Xu Ziwei came, Yang Meng and the two have not completed the last bit of work.
"Wait a minute, when Zhiqing finishes transcribing, see what's wrong with my strategy." (To be continued......)
