In the matter of Xishan, Yang Meng couldn't help anything other than command, and explained the specific things to Ge Shiyang and Jiang Shuxian, and he rushed to western Yunnan with his own men on the same day.

Compared with Xishan, now the affairs of western Yunnan are more urgent, Sun Boqing does not have the opportunity to change, his eldest brother has no ruthless means, sitting on tens of thousands of mountain people reserves, they want to completely control western Yunnan, there is not much hope.

After he passed, he rectified the mountain people recruited by various Wuzhuang, replaced Sun Boqing, and let him and Qin Ziqi work together to monitor Yunnan, and now in this situation, it is time for him to control Yunnan.

As for the eldest brother Yang Yong, he asked him to exchange grain for land, build a number of granges in various parts of western Yunnan, and gather some Han farmer tenants to balance the mountain people in various farms in western Yunnan.

Besides, the Han people are proficient in farming, and it is not a bad thing to mix with most of the Han people in each farm, at least it can increase the grain production of each farm. Selecting a part of the Han people to form a new Lian Yong can also make the mountain people of all ethnic groups fearful.

Once the mixed people live, intermarriage is a means of integration of various ethnic groups, and after three or five years, it will be difficult to distinguish who is the mountain people and who is the Han people. The assimilation ability of the Han and Confucianism is here, and the twenty-year generation, Yunnan at that time, as Xu Ziwei said, was all the Yang family.

The means of intermarriage, only in the case of return does not work, I have to think of a way to do this in the future, I live in the Qing Dynasty, I should respect Yanhuang as the ancestor, and the rest! Step aside!

After returning from Guangzhou, many things touched Yang Meng, and now it seems that his steps are too fast. It's been less than two years. There are some faltering steps and weak follow-ups.

The first iron works to be prepared. So far there is no result, the later planning of the business gang, first in Sichuan blocked, and now in Yunnan is blocked, development is a good idea, but go too fast will only pull out the seedlings to grow, and finally lose the whole game.

People are the foundation, and this time after settling down in western Yunnan. The problem of manpower will not be a worry in three or two years, and it is the right reason to pay close attention to the development of Yunnan.

The group used the post station of the imperial court, and it took ten days to rush to western Yunnan, and the traffic problem came to Yang Meng's heart. Trains, rails, and now the fastest means of transportation, I have neglected this.

The train is a big thing, and it is not yet possible to make it yourself, but you can import it yourself! If Yunyan is made by machine. The output is too large, the daily goods of foreign devils. I'm afraid it's difficult to offset, Yunyan's huge ability to absorb gold is just offset by the bulk industrial products of foreign devils, trains, railroad tracks, these things foreign devils will not embargo!

When he arrived at Zhuangzi, where the eldest brother and Sun Boqing were in charge, Yang Meng first sent Sun Boqing back to Yiliang, and then did it with the eldest brother.

"Big brother, do you have any regulations for the affairs of western Yunnan?"

"Hey! Third child, aren't you embarrassed for me? What regulations can I have, the affairs here in western Yunnan are all arranged by the old man and Cen Yuying, I am just a miscellaneous person. ”

Speaking of these Yang family boss Yang Yong, he is also unlucky, the opening of Yunnan business was boycotted by Yunnan merchants, the business war is not easy, he just laid out the game, and was disturbed by the affairs of western Yunnan.

Sitting in western Yunnan, it's really embarrassing, he is not as domineering as the third child, nor does he have that heart, and he doesn't have the ability to control western Yunnan, now the third is coming, this head-scratching livelihood is still handed over to the third child!

"Hmmm! It's been hard for big brother lately, try to get some things you're not good at, this is what I'm not doing right.

Big brother, do you have any regulations for the expansion of the Yunnan business? ”

His eldest brother is not useless, he has a few brushes in business, and Yang Mengzhi is not as good as his eldest brother in business.

"Simple! The businesses that operate department stores in various places will hit them with foreign goods, and they will have to obediently invest in the Yang family in a year and a half, so that we can not only subdue them, but also make a steady profit.

The copper merchant is easier to do, the old man is in a high position, and it is a piece of cake for them. As for the tea merchants! I have an idea, and that is to cut off my beard. Adjust the tea from Sichuan and Huguang, take the Yanjin copper road to trace the river, and take a shortcut into Tibet.

What is needed on the Tibetan side is mostly coarse tea, which is very cheap in Huguang, and the waterway transportation is huge.

I calculated, with Huguang's coarse tea, our price will be reduced by two percent, and the profit will be higher than the original, and in three years, I guarantee that the tea market in Tibet will have the final say in our family. ”

Yang Yong's method was also well thought out, and in three years, he built a Yunnan firm, which is also a feat.

"Big brother, let me interject, your method is good, fair and magnificent, but the speed is too slow, I will give you a year at most, and you must build a Yunnan business."

"I can't do this, unless I use it, but I can't do business like this!"

Yang Yong's biggest weakness is to follow the rules, if there are no these constraints, he will definitely become a big businessman and a wealthy businessman.

"Now there is a chance that you can defeat the tea merchants in Yunnan in one fell swoop and completely control the six tea mountains."

"What kind of way to say it, isn't it going to destroy people again?"

"Hey! You have flattened your brother, can you deal with these tea merchants?

Isn't there a big drought in Yunnan this year? Now that there is a shortage of grain in the whole territory of Yunnan, didn't the old man let you exchange grain for land? The tea farmers and tea workers near the six tea mountains don't grow grain, and you buy all the grain over there, and you are still worried that these tea farmers and tea workers will not defect to the Yang family?

Without tea farmers and tea workers, those tea merchants account for half of the six major tea mountains, so what? This year's tea season has passed, without tea workers and tea farmers, their tea mountains will be abolished next year, big brother, you have mastered the tea farmers and tea workers, they will definitely come to beg you, and the tea mountain will be invested in Yunnan business, which is not over.

For other things that involve labor, you can do the same, but without manpower, I see how they are cross?

In this way, there is another advantage, the Zhuangzi in western Yunnan does not need to produce grain, the more grain we have, the less grain in Yunnan, whether it is to collect people or land. It's going to be a lot faster. ”

This idea was also the result of Yang Meng's discussion with Xu Ziwei on the road. This time I received Xu Ziwei. It is definitely a big gain for Yang Meng.

"Third child, isn't this method a bit vicious, what if you starve to death? What a sin! We can't get food, and we are fighting with the people for food to survive, which is going to be poked in the backbone. ”

Lao San's method is effective, but the harm is too great, in case the Yang family becomes the target of Yunnan, they can't keep the food in their hands. Yang Yong rejected this idea at once.

"Hungry to death? How could our Yang family starve to death? She's porridge! Will you? Three bowls a day for one person, to ensure that no one dies of hunger, in this way, it is convenient for us to buy land, it is also convenient to collect people, and we can also fight for a good reputation, why not?

You should start first with the grain that Yunxi will return there, don't buy it all, just leave some for them to live, and recently I want to clean up a group of mountain people to return there. Don't take these people.

As for the places where the Han people live, as long as there is food, you will spend money to buy it all. Exchange a small amount of grain for their land, if you are willing to follow our Yang family, you will give them the land again, and once you go in and out, they will become our family's farmer tenants.

Our rent is very low, and nine out of ten people will accept it, do you still have any opinions on this matter? ”

After Yang Meng finished explaining, Yang Yong's eyes were about to pop out, is this okay?

Reaching out and touching Yang Meng's head, the boss of the Yang family also sighed.

"What the hell is this head? It is said that the second child of our family is the most shrewd, and now it seems that the second child is only the one who eats ashes compared to you.

Now the second child is not happy on his side, and he follows his teacher to play with sand in Yili! When the second child comes back, you have to suppress that kid, there are five people in front of me a day, you have to give him a good look!

As you said, I can do all these things, and in two months, I guarantee that seventy percent of the grain stocks in Yunnan will arrive at our house. ”

"That's okay, this time you have something you do best, but now at this time to buy a large amount of grain, you have to bring a knife, you have to guard against bandits from all over the world, don't be robbed on the road."

As a big brother, he has enough brains but is too restrained, and if he doesn't remind him of this, if he doesn't get it right, he will fall into the way of others.

"Oh...... I really didn't think about this, listen to you!"

After sending off the eldest brother and his party, Yang Meng began to sweep the Zhuangzi in western Yunnan, the newly recruited swordsmen, after the training of the new army, all of them were very peaceful, and the problem was mainly in the farm.

The mountain people recruited this time did not understand the method of farming, and let them dig ditches and open canals to build water conservancy every day, and some people did not want to do it and came out to make trouble, and the mountain people were united, regardless of right or wrong, and rushed up, which caused the chaos in western Yunnan.

For those who are unwilling to work and contribute, Yang Meng is also polite, three taels of silver or two hundred catties of grain, take these and hand over the land, where should you go, the Yang family does not raise such white-eyed wolves.

In half a month, Yang Meng swept the farms in western Yunnan, cleared out thousands of mountain people who did not listen to discipline, and moved in tens of thousands of households, and the surrounding Han people.

The farms in western Yunnan have also changed a lot in half a month, and most of the farms that were originally dominated by mountain people are now Han Chinese, and new farms have also been built rapidly in western Yunnan.

Building water conservancy, tidying up fields, building farms, there is no harvest in the field, these people are not idle, under the support of the Yang family, many things that the imperial court wants to do but can't do, they can easily do it.

10,000 Han people Lian Yong was also inserted into the knife hands of each Zhuangzi, and the knife hands of each Zhuangzi also began to circulate irregularly.

Yang Yong's side is also going very smoothly, most of the land has failed, just in time to catch up with the green and yellow harvest, the shortage of grain on the market, the price of land, directly fell to the bottom, in some crops are not harvested, twenty or thirty catties of grain can be exchanged for one acre of land, five or six catties of grain can buy one person.

Taking advantage of the famine, in just two or three months, at least more than 30% of the fertile land in Yunnan fell under the name of the Yang family. Yang Yong also spent a lot of money on the government in various places, and the land transaction was carried out under the auspices of the government, which is also a strange thing!

The overall situation of western Yunnan was initially decided, but there was still a lack of a helmsman, Yang Meng could not stay in western Yunnan, Yang Yong was not suitable, and Yang Meng had no suitable candidate in his hands.

In the end, he could only make up his mind on the old man, and Ding Baojun, the chief housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, was arrested and came out of the Governor's Mansion to find an errand in western Yunnan.

Yang Meng has sorted out the affairs of western Yunnan, the one-eyed falcon Ding Baojun is sitting in western Yunnan, and his ability is definitely more than enough, the overall situation in western Yunnan is stable, and the situation of the Yang family has stabilized.

Yang Meng was just about to free up his hands to train the swordsmen of western Yunnan, but in Guangzhou, the battle on the beach made him discover the shortcomings of the new army, and the lack of cooperation between the people, which was a huge flaw for the army.

But before the matter began, news came from the old man in Kunming, saying that the new governor Li Xingyuan had arrived, and officials from all over Yunnan who were above the fourth grade were going to the governor's palace to wait.

And Yang Meng, the general of the green battalion, was also in this ranks, and Yang Meng, who had no choice but to hand over the affairs of western Yunnan to Ding Baojun, led people and hurried to Kunming City. (To be continued......)
