Chapter 149: Second Brother Yang Yi (I)
"Teacher, why do you sigh? This is a decoction that I recently made to replenish lean qi, you should use it first! ”
Lin Zexu is worrying about the desk! There are too many things involved in Yunnan, how to act, he, a veteran of officialdom, has no charter, Yang Shiqin of Yunnan, the important minister of the military aircraft of the Beijing Division, and the saint in the Forbidden City, it is difficult!
Glancing at the disciple who had followed him for seven years, Lin Zexu's eyes lit up suddenly, how could he leave this matter behind, he had the most suitable help by his side, he was really old, and his brain was not as sensitive as before.
"Shigeru! I've been suffering for you all these years! How long can our master and apprentice stay in Guangzhou? ”
"Less than half a year."
"Huh! In less than half a year, I was belittled in Xinjiang Yili, the boss of my family is in the officialdom, it is difficult to serve closely, if it weren't for you, Yang Erlang, who is both civil and military, I would have died in the border wasteland. ”
Looking at the students who were respectfully standing aside, Lin Zexu also sighed in his heart, he gave birth to one less daughter! Otherwise......
"The teacher praised it falsely, that's just the student's duty."
"Duty? It is your duty to serve as a teacher, and it is also your duty to help Jingfeng, Hanyu, Benrui and Fujian in the name of the teacher? You're a deceit! ”
"How did the teacher know about this? I'm doing this secretly! ”
"Humph! If you want people not to know unless you do it, you are not a person who does not know how to change, you give them a hundred and ten taels of silver every year, which can be regarded as saving them in an emergency, and remember it for the teacher! You are also a character, and you can't give too much at one time, otherwise the teacher would have expelled you from the wall door a long time ago.
Your Yang family is a wealthy family. A thousand taels of silver a year. Even if it's your filial piety to the teacher! Speaking of this, it is also indignant to be a teacher. It's not that you help from time to time, and it's difficult for them to be clean officials!
But filial piety is filial piety, I only think that is your Xie Yi who worships under my door, I also do my best to teach you, no one owes anyone between us, in a word, it is impossible to seek personal interests for the teacher! ”
I was a disciple before. It's okay to help their families in their own name, but I'm afraid they will have to rely on themselves in the future.
"What did the teacher say? Is there something for Zhimao to do? ”
"You are clever, you have received the will of the imperial court for your teacher, and you will go to Yunnan in the near future."
"But the position of the governor of Yungui?"
"Correct solution!"
"It's finally time to go home! After seven years, I don't know how my father is in health? The year before last, my eldest brother wrote a letter, saying that the third child in my family was enlightened by the teacher, and my father had done good deeds for many years, and finally received a good reward. ”
The person who served Lin Zexu was none other than the second child of the Yang family in Yunnan, Yang Yi and Yang Zhimao.
"Then Mr. Yang has not had a good time in the past few years, it is certain. But the body should be fine, and now your old man is probably worried about the Yunnan copper matter! ”
Lin Zexu didn't treat businessmen very well. Wu Bingjian in Guangzhou was defeated in his own hands, and Pan Deqi himself did not give him a good face, only Yang Shiqin, a businessman, was quite suitable for his own appetite.
Shang Yi Ren Chivalry, benevolent heart, although full of copper smell, but not less benevolent and filial piety, can be regarded as a righteous businessman! Otherwise, he would not accept Yang Erlang as his disciple, looking at Yang Erlang's style, he knew that Yang Shiqin's style was his own disciple, and Lin Zexu had always regarded him as a son.
"The teacher wants Zhimao to go to Yunnan to play the front station?"
Yang Yi can be Lin Zexu's disciple, he must have a certain talent, otherwise Lin Zexu would not have worked hard to carve a piece of rotten wood.
"It's not you, you and Jiongfu go first, first find out the situation in Yunnan, and then discuss countermeasures with your father Yang Shiqin, and here is a letter for the teacher, and you bring it to Pan Chunfu by the way.
You're familiar with this person, right? When he mentioned the compensation in the letter, he was repaid by an anonymous person half a year later, right?
This time back to Yunnan, you and Jiongfu don't want to explore the affairs of western Yunnan, the main thing is to understand how the disaster situation in Yunnan is, and the people's hearts can be smoothed with the trip to Yunnan, and the rest of the things, you don't have to bother, I think the one who comes to your house will give you an answer. ”
The rebellion in western Yunnan is nothing in Lin Zexu's eyes, and he has also read the newspaper, the crime of the incident in western Yunnan is in Luo Tianchi and Hengwen, and the matter of Yongchang is solved, and the rebellion in western Yunnan is naturally calmed down, Du Wenxiu and his party are still in detention in Beijing, and the famine in Yunnan has become the first problem to be solved.
"Teacher Mingjian, I can't hide anything from you, it's just that the road to Yunnan is treacherous, so let the students stay with you!"
The teacher's body is not as good as before, from Shaanxi to Yunnan, the land route accounts for half of it, his teacher will definitely not sit on that shoulder, all the way to the car and horse tired, only afraid that his body bones can not bear the hardships of the road.
"It's enough for the second and third to be served, the matter of Yunnan is important, you and Jiongfu will take the first step, I will hurry slowly, the letter will go back and forth through the post station, Pan Chunfu, you can also ask for advice."
The famine in Yunnan is caused by drought, and there are many rivers in Yunnan, so it is convenient to build water conservancy, so it is best to contact the gentry in Yunnan and come up with some regulations in advance. ”
The breakthrough in Yunnan's affairs is in the famine, and if the people's hearts are reassured, other affairs can go smoothly, otherwise Yunnan will not be able to stay in the people.
"Alright! I'll leave you some entanglements, and I'll set off with Mr. Jiongfu on the same day. ”
After Yang Yi heard about Yunnan here, he also felt homesick, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Yunnan to see his father and two brothers.
"Hmmm! It's time to be homesick after seven years away from home, so be careful on the road. ”
Lin Zexu was worried about the famine in Yunnan, but the Yang family was worried about Lin Zexu, and the Qing Dynasty Lin Hu was famous in China, and his arrival in Yunnan was extremely unfavorable to Yang Meng's layout.
"Old man, Lin Laohu is not good here! But the means by which the military aircraft hindered my Yang family? ”
Yang Meng, who had just received more than half of the officials in western Yunnan, was just about to turn to the area east of Yunnan Prefecture, but he did not expect that the manpower of the Beijing division and the father-in-law in Guangzhou sent the news that Lin Zexu was about to enter Yunnan.
"I don't know Lu Dao, I only know that Lu Dao Your second brother is coming back, as for Lin Laohu's intention, you can ask the chief manager! He'll have a verdict there. Mr. Wei, you can also ask and reconcile the views of the two. ”
The old man Yang Shiqin, after finishing his work in western Yunnan. He has become a shopkeeper again. Things up and down the Yang family. I don't care anymore.
Hitting a nail in the old man's place, Yang Meng found Cen Yuying first and wanted to hear the opinions of his staff. Cen Yuying's staff group did not know much about the decision-making of the upper echelons of the imperial court, and only analyzed the matter of Lin Zexu's top cylinder.
Cen Yuying has something to say about this matter, and he thinks that Lin Zexu is here. It is mainly to assist the Yang family to revive Yunnan copper.
Yang Meng was noncommittal about this, the matter of Yunnan copper is not a matter that cannot be recovered, but the benefit of the Yang family to annex the copper salt of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan.
Xu Ziwei and Yang Meng were at the bottom of the line, and he, the master of the live monkey, had recently shown extraordinary ability, an official in western Yunnan. Under the tandem of him and a group of Shaoxing masters, he has already had correspondence with the Yang family. These letters are not anything else, but the names of officials in western Yunnan, with this, the Yang family is unlucky, and these officials can't escape.
Yang Meng's second candidate is Wei Wu in Yiliang, Yunnan has no prominent contradictions, Yang Meng's time has increased, the place where he has stayed the longest is Minghu Academy in Yiliang, this is the talent base of the Yang family, Wei Wu is too capable, let others here, it is better for Yang Meng to sit in person.
"Mr. Wei, you have heard about Lin Zexu's succession as the governor of Yungui! What are your thoughts on this? ”
"Humph! These dogs of the military aircraft, with a good calculation, actually used the matter of Yunnan copper as a step to advance, and Lin came here, not for anything else, but to help the Yang family dominate Yunnan. ”
The matter of Sichuan copper entering Yunnan, and now that Wei Wu has also seen the purpose of those military aircraft, he participated in the battle for the storage position with the matter of Yunnan copper, sold all the elder brothers, and put himself in an invincible position.
These bastards have a really good vision, but they are too utilitarian and only plan for personal gain, but they underestimate the ambition of the Yang family, the Yang family wants to make profits for the Qing Dynasty, he wants to replace it!
However, Lin Zexu is suitable, the recent development speed of the Yang family is too fast, and the western part of Yunnan is in hand, and soon it will be the whole territory of Yunnan, and Yunnan will use the Sichuan copper class as an excuse to surround the trade routes on the Tibetan border, and the three thousand Tibetan troops on the Tibetan border will definitely not be able to keep the Tibetan border.
With Yang Laosan's methods in Yunnan, if he controls the Tibetan border, according to the situation there, there will be no less than one million troops available. Yang Laosan and his party in Guangzhou have laid a solid financial road to communicate with foreign private purchases of ordnance, just at such a speed, ten years! At most, the Qing Dynasty will change hands in ten years.
Lin Zexu is an extremely experienced minister, clever and not confused, Yang Laosan can be regarded as an opponent, with Lin Zexu's containment, Yang Laosan's steps are delayed by at least three to five years, and the foundation just laid in Yunnan is likely to be swept away by Lin Zexu.
The delay of this period of time is enough, and if the fourth elder brother is chosen, this Qing Dynasty will be finished! At that time, it was the moment when he recognized the Lord.
"Help? Not necessarily! Lin is a diehard loyalist of the Qing Dynasty, once he detects the intentions of the Yang family, he hums......"
Wei Wu, an old traitor, is a traitor, and there are several meanings in one sentence, if you misunderstand, you will be taken to the ditch by him.
"Yunnan copper is our breaking point, and Lin Zexu wants to break the situation, on the famine, the famine in Yunnan we temporarily stopped, this is the palliative, the famine originated from drought, Lin Zexu has done water affairs, we now occupy most of the land in Yunnan mountains and forests, as long as the matter of building water conservancy is thrown out, plus the revival of Yunnan copper, you can drag his eighty percent of his mind.
What's more, there is still Yongchang's case that needs to be solved, and it will be difficult for Lin Zexu to deal with this matter with two percent of his mind! He should be sixty-three this year, older than me, but his body and bones are definitely not as good as mine, and when the third master arrives, as long as these things are thrown out, he wants to do something else, and he doesn't have that mind. ”
"Hmmm! That's right, Mr. Wei, you have to pay close attention to the training of tutors recently, our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and private schools are already under construction in various places. I've read the basic knowledge translated from the West, so I can let the teachers learn it, and after they pass the test, they can teach the students. ”
Yang Meng left the academy and just returned to Yiliang's manor, when a letter came from Kunming, and the second brother Yang Yi came back.
His second brother is a student of Lin Zexu, and he came back this time to play the front station, just from the second brother, I learned some about Lin Zexu's situation, Yang Meng took Xu Ziwei and rushed to Kunming.
"Commander, what do you think of Lin Zexu coming?"
On the way, Yang Meng thought about Cen Yuying and Wei Wu's opinions, and felt that it was still not very appropriate, so he asked about his arm Xu Ziwei.
"No opinion! The military aircraft used the Yang family and Lin Zexu as tools, and we might as well learn from the military planes and use Lin Zexu. Let's not treat him as an enemy, but as a subordinate.
Lin Zexu pays attention to the learning of the world, everything is based on practicality, he is also a person who pays attention to foreign affairs, isn't the third master going to carry out foreign affairs in Yunnan?
Farmland water conservancy, the revival of Yunnan copper, and the construction of ordnance are all implicated in foreign affairs, so wouldn't it be better for us to work together? ”
Really! Wei Wu's words are buried with nails, he doesn't mention Lin Zexu's foreign affairs, he is digging a big hole for himself, without the advanced technology of the West, the time for the rise of Yunnan will be greatly delayed, this old traitor is hateful!
Yang Meng went directly to the Yang family's mansion in Kunming City, in order to welcome the second brother, the old man also moved to the city, for the three brothers of the Yang family, the house in Kunming is the Yang family.
"The third child is here, what are you busy with? The second brother is back, and you are not waiting at home. It's the same with the eldest brother, didn't I come to write in advance? Why didn't he stay at home? ”
What a beautiful man! Yang Meng saw his second brother, and there was only this sentence left in his heart.
Compared with the second brother Yang Yi, the eldest brother is a scumbag, and he has become a reckless man. The three brothers of the Yang family, the eldest Yang Yong, most of them inherited the old man's Jianghu spirit, and he, the third brother, belongs to the Yang family in his body, but his mind belongs to Mo San.
Only his second brother can be regarded as inheriting the mantle of the old man, and his face is the most superficial, but the pair of half-open and half-closed eyes are the most essence of the old man's scheming city, and his external performance is it! (To be continued......)
