After listening to Pan Shicheng's explanation, Yang Meng thought for a moment, roughly organized his own things, and asked again.

"Father-in-law, do foreigners have a company?"

"Yes! The most famous is the English East India Company, the largest supplier of opium on our side is the East India Company, and other countries have similar companies before, but the English East India Company is the longest lasting and most powerful.

It is said that the whole of India is their territory, and the East India Company not only does business, but also has its own fleet and army...... Xingdou, you don't want to emulate this East India Company, do you? ”

Pan Shicheng was talking about the East India Company while thinking about the Yang family's business, and the two were somewhat similar.

"Hah! This is a good model, so let's follow the example of this East India Company. Father-in-law, you know a lot of shopkeepers, right? ”

The East India Company mentioned by Pan Shicheng gave Yang Meng a new idea, and it was a very good choice to train people in various places in the name of the company, which could not only protect the Yang family's business, but also expand its influence in various places.

"Hmmm! Lixiangyuan Pan's is also a branch of tide merchants! I know a lot of people from Huishang, what are you asking for? Is it the idea of beating their shopkeepers? This can't be done! ”

Pan Shicheng thought that Yang Meng wanted to fight the idea of the shopkeepers of the major merchant gangs, which was not a good idea, most of the shopkeepers of those merchant gangs were credible people from various families, even if they voted for the Yang family, it was difficult to guarantee what their purpose was.

"It's not! I'm looking for some old people who are proficient in the bookkeeping, and there will definitely be some old people who are idle in the major merchant gangs! Spend a high price to invite them, build a school for them to be gentlemen, and cultivate our talents in a unified manner.

Those who learn well and have some skills will be sent to various places to be shopkeepers, and those who are inferior to each other will be buddies, and those who have grown up will be promoted and reused, and those who have no ability will be demoted to use, won't this have a team?

We need 100 people this time, so we will train 500 or 1,000 people, choose one out of five, choose one out of ten, and then set rules for them, let them do things under these rules, won't they have everything? ”

Although Yang Meng said that he knew nothing about the system of modern companies, it was enough to use these now, and it was not necessarily useful if it was too advanced, and it was good to be half-cooked.

"Third child, it's not good for you to do this, how big is the Great Qing Kingdom? Our Yang family can't do monopoly trading now, and merchants everywhere will not agree! ”

As soon as Yang Meng said this, Yang Shiqin understood what he meant, this is a business to be a monopoly! The Horse Gang can dominate, but if the business in various places is played like this, it can only cause trouble.

"It's not monopoly, it's cooperation! But wherever our horse gang has walked, we must build warehouses and businesses, with us as the mainstay, local businesses can buy shares, and the year's profit will be distributed at the end of the year according to the number of shares, so that it is not also a benefit of equal interest?

And the benefits of this are great, we can purchase goods purposefully, organize production in large quantities, and the more places our caravans go, the stronger our strength will be, which is like a snowball.

Except for those who are harmful, no matter what kind of business, as long as it reaches a certain scale, it can be used as shares and merged into our family's business name, so that in terms of trading, who can beat us?

And these warehouses and businesses are subject to the local place names, for example, in Yiliang, they are called Yiliang businesses, but all the large-scale businesses in Yiliang can be brought in.

In the early stage, we can select some gentry and landlords who are famous and have good deeds, let them become shares, and give them dividends at the end of the year.

Once these people join in, we can really open up the situation by buying and selling, and we can take the opportunity to buy real estate, and these lands will be used to support people and our armed forces.

The initial period will definitely not be smooth, we will also train a group of skilled swordsmen, let them be stationed with the firm, and when we arrive in the place, we will recruit those farmers and tenants who can't survive, give them food, clothing, and money, let these swordsmen train them, form a local merchant team, and some good hands, they will be sent back to Yunnan directly, and we will form an army at home.

When the time comes, if there is a problem that cannot be solved, let this team go over to solve it, this method has three or five years, and it should take shape. ”

Yang Meng changed while talking, and finally came up with a general idea, after speaking, he thought that his method was really good.

Yang Shiqin and Pan Shicheng fell into silence, Yang Shiqin thought about success or failure, but Pan Shicheng had great hope in his heart.

"Good! It's a great idea! Although it costs a lot of money in the early stage, once it is formed, it is a giant ship in the commercial sea, and no matter how big the wave is, it is difficult to shake it. Stars! As long as you need it, Lixiangyuan fully supports! ”

Thinking about Yang Meng's method, and then thinking about Lian'er's status in the Yang family, Pan Shicheng's heart also turned waves, what a great opportunity!

"Although this is a good thing, but there are too many people in the early stage, and we have invested a lot of manpower in the Tibetan border and Ganshan areas! Training these manpower in Yunnan, the movement is not small, but I am afraid that the imperial court will detect it. ”

Although Yunnan is in chaos now, it is chaotic in western Yunnan, and inviting so many mountain people to go down the mountain will attract the attention of many people, and Yang Shiqin thought of this immediately.

"Hmmm! This is not difficult to solve, didn't we buy a lot of granges in Yunnan Province this time for epidemic prevention? In the name of soliciting the tenants of the farm, the most unruly mountain people were led down the mountain, and when they came down, the heart of the court also came down.

If we do this, the imperial court will not only not punish us, but will help us, and the swordsmen will be selected from these people, and when the eldest brother successfully buys back the cattle and horses, more manpower will be idle, what we have to do now is to find some hidden places to train the army. ”

As soon as the old man Yang Shiqin said this, the calculations he made in the early stage have also come into play, isn't it chaotic in western Yunnan? I smoked their fires to see how messy they could go?

"Hmmm! Let's choose the location in Yiliang! It's almost time to see that it's time for our people to sit in the position of Yiliang County.

Didn't you get some foreign devils? Find a ravine to house them, and let the families of the knife hands build some stockades on the surrounding hills, these people are also a big problem, and no one can find out.

This time, I will solicit from Yunxi, you have to spend this silver, the silver in Wuzhuang, you have to stock up, and the cost of buying a large number of horses is not small, and there is not much money left over from Yinwuzhuang. ”

Yang Shiqin said this, even if he agreed with Yang Meng's approach, this time it was a big game, but it is not a bad thing to live a lifetime and watch his children and grandchildren do the next thing.

"I have no problem there, I will find you the old man in the accounting room you want, I will find it for you this month, but you also have to settle their families, and those who don't have a family, we don't have to worry about using them."

What a big deal his son-in-law's calculation is, Pan Shicheng knows very well that it is not easy to go back to choose someone this time, and if he finds something wolf-hearted, it will be a shame.

It took a lot of time for the three of them to discuss, and they talked energetically, but Lian'er was in a hurry, and the hideous wound on her husband's body was dangling in front of her eyes all the time.

I remembered to cry for a while, cried for a while and remembered again, the meal was over, the night was late, and I didn't see my husband come back, this little girl wiped her tears, took Tang Ma's second daughter, and walked towards Pan Shicheng's yard.

When he arrived at the place, he was stopped by the knife hand, and when the third master was deliberating, no one could disturb him except for the old man and the master of the Yang family.

"Third master, have they ever eaten?"

Although she cried and swollen her eyes, the little girl was still a little majestic.

"Back to the third lady, no!"

"Then send someone to prepare, what is the important thing to talk about, and you can't even take care of the meal?"

Thinking of that wound, Lian'er's heart hurts, and her skin is open! The husband is also hard, after taking it for a while, he can still laugh, if he rests on himself, he will have finished crying a long time ago.

"Qinglian, you go back and get a shirt for the third master, it should be lighter."

Thinking that her husband was still shirtless, Lian'er told Qinglian to go back to get her clothes.

The time was not long, the food was ready, and the clothes were brought, so Lian'er shouted outside the courtyard gate.

"Master! It's time to eat. ”

"Come in!"

With Yang Meng's orders, the swordsmen did not stop them, and the three girls entered the courtyard with food and clothes.

After entering the house, Lian'er glanced at Old Man Yang with a resentful look, and Yang Shiqin was not embarrassed at this time, didn't he get a whip? With the physique of the third child, there will be nothing to do in three or two days.

Pan Shicheng is also happy to see Yang Shiqin deflated, aren't you used to her? See how you end!

Ignoring the two old men, Lian'er obediently came to Yang Meng, and when she saw Yang Meng talking bare-chested, her heart twitched again.

"Master! Let's change into clothes! ”

"Good!"

Seeing Lian'er's low-eyed appearance, the three of them all smiled, this little girl!

Yang Meng got together, and listened to the sound of 'smack', Yang Meng thought about it, but it was not because of the blood that stained his pants on the chair, and he didn't go away when he touched his hand, so he settled down.

"What a cruel heart! I'm going to kill someone! ”

Lian'er muttered while changing Yang Meng's clothes, which one of the people present was not a deaf and clear-eyed person, although Lian'er's muttering voice was small, but they all heard it clearly.

"Don't be rude! Lian'er, you are not young, Daddy will return to Guangzhou tomorrow, you have to be your third lady in the Yang family, don't make trouble! ”

This Yang family is very good at protecting calves, I'm afraid that Lian'er will be used to it, if this little girl doesn't beat it, she can turn the sky upside down, and she is going to leave, without control, I'm afraid that she will cause trouble again.

"In-laws, Lian'er is good, you can save your worries!"

Although he was embarrassed by Lian'er, Yang Shiqin still couldn't change his temper.

"Daddy, why did you go back so quickly?"

As soon as Lian'er heard that her father was leaving, she couldn't stop her tears.

"There's a mess in Guangzhou City, I've been here for a lot of days this time, and it will take more than ten days to go back, if you don't leave, you can't do it, when you have time, you and Xingdou will go to Guangzhou to see me!"

The parting is too sad, loving his daughter and son-in-law is not light in Pan Shicheng's heart, but he can't go! Guangzhou is now the largest source of income for the two Yang Pan families, and they have to go over to take charge.

"Father-in-law, stay longer! Anyway, there is nothing serious in the imperial court, so it doesn't hurt to drag it out! ”

"What nonsense, the affairs of the court are all major matters, now we are not the opponents of the court, it is not the time to do it, we must be cautious when we speak in the future, in case it is more serious, these words are the root seedlings of trouble."

Pan Shicheng is leaving, Yang Shiqin didn't do anything to stay, now is not the time, when the third child becomes a trend, it is the time for them to enjoy happiness.

Early the next morning, Yang Shiqin personally led someone to escort Pan Shicheng's in-laws away, and Yang Meng was injured, so he didn't go together. After settling Yiliang's side these days, he also has to go back to Kunming, and it is time to start work in Xishan.
