Chapter 166: Defeat before fighting

"Third Young Master, the adults have a deep relationship with your Yang family, why do you have to calculate the adults everywhere? The recent changes in Yunnan should come from the hands of the Yang family! ”

Surrender to softness, rebellion to rebellion, Liu Cunren has many questions in his heart, the Yang family does not have too many interests entanglement with his own Dong Weng, why should he calculate Dong Weng so much?

"Guess what?"

glanced at Liu Cunren, Yang Meng was a little dissatisfied with his temptation, he didn't fall down, and he was not qualified to be a double agent between himself and Lin Zexu.

"I can't guess."

The words are on his lips, but Liu Cunren doesn't dare to say it, once some things are said, he is standing in line in disguise, officialdom battles and dynasty changes are not the same.

"Can't guess? This is funny, don't you guess I have to tell you that the Yang family's plan is very big, and I don't know if it will scare you if I say it? ”

Hearing that it was very big, Liu Cunren's face changed, sure enough!

"Humph! What the Yang family wants is the benefit of copper salt from the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and Lin Zexu is here, is the part of the excess output to be handed over to the imperial court? Then my Yang family invested so much silver, and it was lost? ”

Yang Meng said this sentence with some indignation, but after Liu Cunren on the side heard it, he laughed out loud.

"I see! I thought ...... adults had already made up their minds to open a private copper factory and salt factory in Yunnan, which did not conflict with the interests of the Yang family? Why are you so calculating? ”

Yang Meng listened to Liu Cunren's explanation, and the look on his face was also a little stunned, looking at Liu Cunren who was smiling, he opened his mouth with some dissatisfaction.

"Humph! Say one thing and do another. Which new official doesn't all play this? If you want my Yang family to support Lin Zexu. He had to be sincere.

You and my second brother came back secretly. It's water conservancy and government officials, don't think that the Yang family doesn't know what you want to do, the Yang family is not a liuguan, we are Yunnan's landowners, Yunnan's interests, we have to get a piece of the pie no matter what, if Lin Zexu goes back on his word, you will be responsible for banning him. ”

Although Liu Cunren has a handle, he has a handle. But it can't be easily believed that he and Lin Zexu have been friends for more than ten years, and now these tricks may not be able to bring down Lin Zexu, in case this Liu Cunren sacrifices his life to protect the master, he will also be beaten with chickens and eggs.

"Confining the Jiang Chen, this is a rebellion! This thing can never be done, and once it is done, none of us can go back. ”

Trapping his own Dong Weng, if he is a flat-headed commoner, it is okay, but Lin Zexu is the governor of Yungui who is the second grade. One of the Nine Great Ministers! Trapping and banning Xinjiang ministers, Yang Laosan said it is easy. The one who was in charge had this power, and the others did it as a rebellion.

"I can't do it, for the benefit of salt and copper, as a last resort, you can kill him, and the trap is cheap, if you don't want to do it, then you can tell this Mr. Xu about Lin Zexu's every move."

After taking the first step, there is a second step, the hundredth step, and now Liu Cunren is already a caged bird, but it takes time to slowly corrode him.

"Is it small?"

"That's right! No matter how big or small, from his twists and turns to the court, to his eating, drinking, and Lazar, you have to report everything, and you have to change the things that are not good for the Yang family in the twists and turns. ”

Liu Cunren is testing Yang Meng, and Yang Meng is also testing Liu Cunren, as long as he tries his bottom line, this nail will be successfully nailed in.

"Replay? This depends on the timing, after all, the adult's two sons and Zhimao are also by the adult's side, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. ”

What Yang Yi's position is, it is also what Liu Cunren wants to test, and all the things he encountered today make Liu Cunren suspect that Yang Meng is hiding from his second brother. If Yang Yi did not participate in this conspiracy, then his defection would not necessarily have a fatal impact on Dong Weng.

Although Liu Cunren said that he promised to defect from Lin Zexu, his relationship for more than ten years could not be given up overnight, and now the starting point of his work is still for his benefactor.

"If Lin Zexu's two sons become instruments, there will be no place for you, and my second brother Lin Zexu is probably also on guard against him! In the future, you will be Lin Zexu's mouthpiece in the Governor's Palace, this will not change, and you will have a happy word if you don't do it. ”

In Yang Meng's view, the second brother's return to Yunnan this time, the main task is not to run water conservancy, but to cover Liu Cunren, Lin Zexu can send him over, he must be a guest who believes in him very much, now let Liu Cunren betray in words, and then it will be a real betrayal.

"I'll revise it at my discretion if conditions allow."

To be able to say this, Liu Cunren took a lot of effort, betrayal is not something that can come by saying it, and Yang Meng also saw the struggle in his eyes clearly.

"Hmmm! Let's go back! What do you need to know, go to negotiate with Mr. Xu, and after you go back, sign a contract to sell yourself, then the mother and son are your people. ”

Seeing the struggle in Liu Cunren's eyes, Yang Meng knew that he was anxious, and as soon as the words turned, they fell on the two mothers and sons.

"It is illegal to sell slaves and maids, how can this be done? Besides, seeing that the woman's age is only thirty, and I am almost sixty bad old man, isn't it a delay? ”

Pity is pity, but possession is not what Liu Cunren wants to do, his wife and children have been dead for decades, why bother to let himself be a half-dead person to drag down other people's mothers and sons?

"You don't, although they can have a way to live in Yunnan, but they are definitely not good, although you are already in the last years, but it is not necessary to live for more than ten or twenty years, it is not a good thing to be alone.

It doesn't matter if you have two wives and children, at least you have a concern in your heart, and you can live for a few more years. As for the money, you don't have to worry about it, the Yang family's business is not small, and it won't treat you badly, and it will be a good thing for that kid to be out of the future and continue your Liu family's incense.

If you don't take them in, the two of them have to remarry, and it's okay to marry a good family, but she still has a drag oil bottle at that age, I'm afraid it's impossible, do you say I'm right to arrange this? ”

Although the Yang family is giving porridge everywhere, Yunnan is too big and the Yang family is too small. There is always something that cannot be taken into account. Although there are many people who have lived in the porridge. But the famine in Yunnan, the number of people who died of starvation must be at least hundreds or thousands, which is also a helpless thing.

She's porridge! It sounds like a good thing, but Yang Meng would rather not do such a thing, because the Yang family has already lost hundreds of lives, and there are always landlords and officials in various places who first peel the skin from the people. For these dogs, Yang Meng has only one countermeasure, and that is to kill!

Killing people while saving people, such a world is hateful!

"I think this is wrong, the third young master has a good analysis, don't get this deed of sale, selling yourself as a slave is not good for children!"

What is the way of the world in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Cunren is very clear, Yang Laosan is right, orphans and widows want to live well in the famine. It's hard!

"Third Young Master! Lao Tzu doesn't like to hear this the most, it's called the third master! Third Young Master. Sounds like a rabbit.

What do you want to do with the one who hit you the other day? That old man is a grumpy, and I didn't arrange the scene where you were beaten. ”

This time he plotted against Liu Cunren, except for the horse gang and the boat family, and then the empty hands in Kunming City, other people or things were all Liu Cunren hurried to catch up.

"Ugly dogs and sheep! That old man is a mountain man! The rebellion in Yunnan is in the barbarians, this is true!

Third master, forget about it! In the years of famine, there was such a tea shed on the mountain road, and a few fewer starved to death. ”

Liu Cunren's words, Yang Meng doesn't like to listen to them, Yi Sex Dog and Sheep, the court speaks like this, Li Xingyuan speaks like this, I didn't expect Lin Zexu's master Liu Cunren to also speak like this, presumably Lin Zexu's point of view is the same!

"Yi sex dog sheep, that's a good thing! Lin Zexu also thinks so? ”

Slanting at Liu Cunren, Yang Meng asked coldly.

"What? Does the third master have different views? The return of the Ili area has been chaotic for decades, and a vast and vast person dares to beat my brilliant Qing idea. Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Liangguang, where there is no barbarian rebellion, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the military resources and grain and grass consumed hundreds of millions, if there is no barbarian rebellion, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty will grow a lot, and the battle situation of Gengzi will be another matter. ”

Regarding the barbarian rebellion, it is obvious that Lin Zexu is also not optimistic about Lu, otherwise Liu Cunren's attitude would not be so clear.

"Hey! What kind of character is I, Dao Lin Zexu, I didn't expect it! Defeat before the battle is said to be like you, blind to the third master's scheming layout, you have to be able to solve the problem, God is blind. ”

With such a mentality, I still want to settle the return of western Yunnan, this is a dream, if the grudge is not resolved, and it cannot be suppressed, it will only accumulate deeper and deeper, it seems that the trial of the Yongchang case, the Yang family will have to bother again.

"Third master, how do you say this?"

"it! It's all dogs and sheep, what else can you say? Comparing hearts to hearts, exchanging hearts for hearts, putting yourself back in a position of returning or barbarians, think about it, are they cheap bones? If you don't have anything to do, you like to play the other way around? ”

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, there will be ups and downs in the affairs of western Yunnan, I just hope that Du Wenxiu can use it for himself, and when Lin Zexu is over, he will deal with the chaos in western Yunnan by himself.

Yang Meng's words did not say to Liu Cunren's heart, the rebellion is not caused by a day, and it is not a matter of a year or two to eliminate it.

The group quietly returned to Kunming, Yang Meng bought an inconspicuous house for Liu Cunren in the corner of the county, and a family of three who kowtowed on the road lived a plain and warm life in this inconspicuous small house.

After returning to Kunming, Yang Meng went to take a look at the second brother Yang Yi again, and gave him a lot of strange objects for women, and the dislike between him and Liu Cunren obviously affected Yang Yi's mood to do things, according to Qin Ziqi's news, the second brother has not been discharged from the hospital for several days.

It just so happened that the eldest also came back, and the three brothers hid from the old man, and held a three-day banquet in the second brother's house, and the three brothers said a lot of interesting things about themselves.

And Liu Cunren's small house is also a husband and wife, father and son, the new Mrs. Liu is also a virtuous person, Liu Cunren, who serves in food, clothing, housing and transportation, is proper, and has been lonely for decades, this Mr. Jiongfu is also intoxicated and can't extricate himself.

Lin Zexu sent two generals to Yunnan, so Yang Meng was defeated, and he was defeated before the battle, in addition to the return affairs, in the control of Yunnan, Lin Zexu was also defeated.

Now half of the officials in Yunnan have directly or indirectly voted under the Yang family; Most of the land in Yunnan is also occupied by the Yang family's farms; Half of the Han people who farmed the land, and the mountain people who cultivated the land in two or three percent, also settled in the farms; Near the water and land passages in and out of Yunnan, there are Yang family's Wuzhuang; This Yunnan has fallen into the hands of the Yang family.

Lin Zexu can't borrow power in the official face and the people, and the rest is just a fighting method between people, Xu Ziwei and Wei Wu joined forces, plus Liu Cunren, the nail, Lin Zexu's defeat has been completed, and there is no way to return to heaven.

Thinking of this, Yang Meng was also a little drunk, he was resurrected, it has been more than two years, and he finally has a sense of accomplishment, if everything goes well on Ge Shiyang's side, then he will be able to enjoy it for a while. (To be continued......)
