The time is not big, a pair of shoes with rough workmanship, under the joint efforts of a leathermaker and a coppersmith, were made, these are the grass patterns made by the cobbler, if it is in line with the mind of the third master, it is not too late for him to make a fine product.

"This is still a little like this, this copper plate is wrapped in double leather, not on the top of the foot, some small holes in the leather can be ventilated, this ankle with a harder leather, and this hole for wearing shoelaces, to be wrapped with copper skin, and this sole, the copper plate only has one piece at the toe, don't get it all, this copper plate should also get another layer of skin under the copper plate."

Yang Meng found out the shortcomings, and said that after giving it to Cen Yuying, let him command the two to make shoes, Yang Meng encountered a big problem when planning his career, that is, how to build a team loyal to himself.

Those bitter men in Yiliang are good to call, but they are not wild enough, and the ethnic minorities in the mountains are only afraid that they will be violent and difficult to tame, and they will not be loyal to their own people, and no matter how much money they wield, it will be empty in the end.

"Cen Yuying, you're done with them, come here, I have something to discuss with you."

After a while, Cen Yuying came to Yang Meng's side, and when she saw that he was thinking about something, she stood silently next to him, waiting for Yang Meng to speak.

"Cen Yuying, how do you say that the third master should gather a suitable team to protect the Yang family's business?"

Now is also the time to see how useful Cen Yuying is, don't open your mouth bigger than the sky, there are no affordable things at all, so what does Yang Meng want him to do?

"It's okay for the third master to call the student Yuying, or to call the student's cousin Yan Qing, Cen Yuying is a little angry. There are two best ways to gather people, one is money, and the other is land, money can meet the needs of a moment, and land can protect the needs of a lifetime. ”

This Cen Yuying is a good person, not very old, and has a lot of knowledge.

"Yuying! How old are you this year? ”

"The student is sixteen years old this year."

"I'm the same age, I don't know if we can work together to lay down a world that belongs to us, the land you said can protect the needs of a lifetime, can you elaborate?"

Yang Meng can be regarded as a two-life person, nearly sixty or seventy years old, compared with this villain, it seems that he is much worse, but fortunately, he has lived one more life and seen a lot of things, so he dares to try to subdue this talent.

"This is simple to say, although Yunnan is said to be peaceful, but all ethnic groups continue to riot, there is only one reason, food! The leaders of those traitors may have various reasons, but the mountain people and the common people who followed them in rebellion had a simple reason, that is, they had enough to eat, and whoever could give them the land and who could give them enough food would die for whomever they wanted. ”

Cen Yuying's analysis opened Yang Meng's eyes again, it is definitely not easy for this sixteen-year-old and a half-year-old child to have such a vision! Is this what genius is called?

"Food, land, ......"

Yang Meng was also thinking carefully, Yiliang Zhou Da Livestock has thousands of hectares of fertile land, using these lands to attract a group of subordinates, and then slowly expanding, he has no hope of success.

"Yuying, with land, it is difficult to protect these people, and there is no other idea after food and clothing, how to control them?"

Giving them land is simple, but people want endless desires, give them land, they still want money, they still want women with money, and they want status with women, do you want to satisfy them one by one? One day, a few people will become his opponents, and they will do everything for themselves, won't they?

"The land can be planted by them, and the output can be eaten by them, but these lands, the third master must be firmly held in his own hands, this is to grasp their lifeline, people can not get rich, once they get rich, they will give birth to other thoughts, use the land to firmly grasp them, slowly let them eat and live well, let them rely on the third master, trust the third master, and then worry about their hard work?"

This little cub is so powerful, he will never be able to read these things when he reads, Yang Meng listened silently, but the killing machine in his heart is getting stronger and stronger, this kid can be used is a pillar, he can't use it, it's better to do it as soon as possible.

"What about the people around Yunnan?"

Squeeze out this kid's things first, and then it's not too late to kill them, this little cub is too weird.

"All the poor mountain people are available, most of the Hui people are available, and most of the Han people are not available."

"Explain why most of the Han people are not available?"

This idea coincides with himself, although he has not seen many Han people, but they are weak and cowardly, and they are not good materials for being soldiers.

"The mountain people lived in Yunnan during the era, first, they were familiar with the mountains and forests of Yunnan, and second, most of the mountains and forests were steep, and the physical strength and force of the mountain people were stronger than those of the Han people. The Hui people are in a group, and they have a tradition of practicing martial arts, which is also stronger than the Han people. Most of the Han people moved to Yunnan and were proficient in farming, so that most of them could mix food, although it was difficult to eat and wear, they would not starve to death, and they could barely live, so the Han people were unwilling to rebel, and if they were in a hurry, the Han people were as available as the mountain people. ”

How incisive is this analysis, this rabbit cub must not be kept, it is too powerful, you can have such an insight at the age of sixteen, what about twenty-six, thirty-six? Don't mess around, I made him a wedding dress.

"This huge territory in Yunnan, where should we start?"

Although he was murderous in his heart, Yang Meng still held back, killing people without revealing murderous aura, this is his ability.

"Yiliang! Yiliang is known as the granary of central Yunnan, and if you occupy Yiliang, you will occupy the blood of Yunnan, and those who do not have the blood will die! ”

This rabbit cub's poisonous mind pointed out the awesome point at once, if there is not enough food, someone will be hungry, as long as the food is controlled a little, the powder keg in Yunnan will be ignited, this sixteen-year-old age, he has such a mind, he will be his own disaster star when he grows up, Cen Yuying will never be able to stay.

"Yunnan is closed, if it attracts the attention of the imperial court, what should it be? With the land of Yunnan Province, against the entire Qing Dynasty, it will be defeated! This is what you said, just sit back so easily, isn't it beautiful! ”

Yang Meng didn't forget the conversation between himself and Cen Yuying in Wuzhuang, one point of view at a time, which made people a little confused!

"That's the student's point of view, what I just said was that I listened to an old scribe in Yiliang explain the general trend of Yunnan, and the third master asked most of the questions asked by a few of our young scribes at that time."

Old scribe? Where is this old scribe? Maybe it's dead! Although Yang Meng was shaken when he heard the old scribe, he still wanted to kill Cen Yuying.

"What did the old scribe say about fighting a country with the power of a province?"

"Yunnan is backed by Myanmar and Vietnam, and Myanmar and Vietnam are still the world of Yi people, and they communicate with Yi people, and they have their guns, and the Qing Dynasty is just a dog."

When these words came out, Yang Meng's heart jumped twice, isn't this what he is good at? Transporting Burma and Vietnam, trading with the Eight-Nation Alliance, and using guns to resist the Qing Dynasty is not much different from what he thought.

Yang Meng wanted to take the road of Guangdong at first, but now Cen Yuying said that this matter is much simpler, the Mekong River, the Red River, the mountain roads, and the water and land transportation are all available, and the purchase and shipment are also closer than the distance to Guangdong, this little cub must be killed!

"Is that old scribe in Yiliang still there? If I had the chance, I would have met this master. ”

It's time for the answer to be revealed, if this Cen Yuying dares to say that the old scribe is dead, he will go back and bury this demon-like rabbit cub.

"It's still there! At the beginning, I was talking about the "Jiangning Treaty" signed by the Qing Dynasty with a group of classmates, and the old scribe said that the Qing Dynasty was going to die, and we were not convinced to reason with him, so he said this, I don't know what the third master has to say? ”

This time it is Yang Meng's turn to be at a loss, there is really such a character in Yiliang, let's not talk about this matter for the time being, let go of this little cub first, I will also take a trip to Yiliang recently, and when the time comes, there will be no old scribe, and it will not be too late to kill this kid.

"My opinion is that it is feasible, let's try it, if it can, it is not a road to heaven, if not, I will help you all the way up, is this agreement okay? Today's agreement in Wuzhuang will not be counted. ”

Yang Meng did not rule out that Cen Yuying was deceiving himself, but the remarks just now should not come from the mouth of a sixteen-year-old boy, if this is the case, then he will encounter a real demon.

"It's okay to try, the so-called unity of knowledge and action is nothing more than that, I'll accompany the third master on a journey."

Not to talk about what he said just now, Cen Yuying, this kid is also a talent, but whether he can use it or not is also a big question.

Just now, Yang Meng also opened the skylight, the original risk of going to the front line of Guangdong, almost gone, as long as he can take a foundation in Yunnan, everything will be solved.

But the first line of Guangdong can not give up, the initial transaction with foreign devils, or safety first, they have no foundation in Yunnan, rashly go to the front line of Myanmar and Vietnam, in case the foreign devils see the big benefits, it is difficult to ensure that they do not deal with themselves.

If it goes well, purchase guns and guns, and then open a trade route in Burma and Vietnam, and the Yang family's trade route in Burma and Vietnam must also be kept secret, so as not to make Yunnan the object of covetousness by foreign devils.

With Cen Yuying's method, Yang Meng felt that everything was clear, occupying an area, raising people, and slowly expanding his strength until he could hold the territory, and he could play with great fanfare.

The next thing to do is to quickly come up with the recipe for drugs, establish a plantation, and build a drug-making workshop, with which you can slowly get started.

Manpower, secret factory locations, and trade routes are the most urgent things, clothes and shoes are just trails, you can't waste time here, and when your strength grows, what do you want?

With this decision, Yang Meng is much less interested in making new shoes, but if it is done today, it will be a good thing, at least he will not have to wear such awkward boots on his feet.
