Chapter 82: Yang Pan's Kindness (4)
"Master, it's a good thing that the Yang family is affectionate, listen to what you mean, this Yang San is not bad, and it is not an insult to Lian'er, Lian'er! After getting married, you must honor your in-laws well, don't make that young lady angry. ”
Seeing that Pan Shicheng also cried, Mrs. Pan's reluctance in her heart became even heavier, her own Lian'er, that is, cats and dogs, are willing to get close to each other, and marry her far away to Yunnan, how can I see her again in the future!
"Then the Yang family is helping our Pan family, why do you want Lian'er to show up?"
After listening to what her father said, Lian'er also recognized it, but let her show her face, Lian'er was still a little worried in her heart.
"This is Daddy's, in order to tie the Pan family and the Yang family together, Daddy also showed his old face, the Yang family's business is a bit of a way, if you don't do this, I'm afraid that it will be our Pan family who will suffer in the future!"
is worthy of what Pan Shicheng did for the family, but for his own daughter, this matter is not authentic, just like Lian'er said, he sold his daughter as a father.
Merchants, merchants have no home where to come from, Pan's business is prosperous, not only Pan Shicheng's spending power, other Pan family heirs have also played a big role, some important functions, are the Pan family, so Lixiangyuan Pan is very affectionate.
This time, for the sake of the family, he sold his daughter in disguise, Pan Shicheng's heart was not tasteful, after talking about Lian'er, he locked himself in the house, and the cooperation between Yang and Pan, many things still have to be clear.
There are also foreigners needed by the Yang family, Pan Shicheng also has to handle it as soon as possible, and before the next governor arrives, he must also plug the loopholes in the salt class to prevent being plotted.
Yang Meng also did what he said, leaving the expenses of the horse gang, and the 100,000 eagles accumulated in Guangzhou were soon sent to Lixiangyuan.
Yang Yong raised the price without authorization in the first few transactions, nearly half of the 100,000 catties of cloud smoke remained, these things have to be dealt with quickly, although Huang Dantong's case is secretive, but the spearhead is also faintly pointed at the Yang family, a province is closed and dies like this, it is likely to attract the hatred of some people, Guangzhou has become a place of right and wrong, it is better to plan early.
Guangzhou is a big commercial port, the ability to dispose of this batch of cloud smoke is there, earlier Yang Meng was planning to do a long-term business, this time if he successfully joined forces with the Pan family, the previous relationship, can also be abandoned, in the future, Guangzhou here in the cloud, you can let the Pan family to agent, this time to find a few foreign businessmen, sell the goods out of the road, will not have a great impact on their own business.
Trading with foreign devils, his body size is too special and easy to be remembered, so let the stewards of the horse gang deal with it!
Due to Pan's financial problems, Yang Meng shipped this time, as long as cash was cash, and after Yang Yong's first few attempts, Yunyan has been recognized by many foreign businessmen, Yang Meng nearly tripled the price of Yunyan, and it is still in short supply, half of the goods, in exchange for more than 4 million income.
These money can't all be handed over to the Pan family, due to epidemic prevention in Yunnan, the silver of Yiliang Manor has been spent cleanly, the four million income, the scattered silver, there are also one hundred thousand, and the rest are all hard currencies such as Yingyang, Benyang, silver ingots, gold pounds, gold bars, etc., more than two million, Yang Meng has to bring it back to Yunnan, otherwise there will be problems with the operation of Yunnan.
In just one month, Yang Meng sent more than 1.5 million cash to Lixiangyuan, and the Pan family, which was stretched, could be regarded as surviving the difficulties.
Yang Meng's sincerity of 1.5 million yuan also made Pan Shicheng feel relieved, and more than a dozen foreigners who knew how to use technology and were willing to go to Yunnan were also secretly brought into Lixiangyuan.
The missionaries ran into trouble, Pan Shicheng found a few missionaries, but their requirements were a little too much, to build a church in Yunnan, this is simple, but once it is done, it is evidence, if the court investigates, then the Yang family will be put on fire!
The helpless Pan Shicheng told Yang Meng about this, and Yang Meng thought about it for a while and the answer was very simple: Yes!
However, Yang Meng still has requirements, can not preach and cannot erect statues, the built churches, in the early stage to be used as schools, as for the issue of preaching and erecting statues, look at the contributions of these people in Yunnan.
The greater the contribution, the more benefits they get, if the contribution reaches a certain level, Yang Meng can let them build statues of gods, as for the issue of mission, we must be cautious in Yunnan, I hope the missionaries can understand, but if these missionaries contribute a lot, Yang Meng can send them to the Tibetan border to preach.
As soon as this condition was opened, of course, the missionaries were happy, the Qing Dynasty was a wasteland of God, and it was easy to meet an enlightened official, and these missionaries began to connect with each other.
In the five ports of the Qing Dynasty, there are churches, and in nearly a month, the city of Guangzhou has gathered, dozens of missionaries with some specialties, which can make it difficult for Pan Shicheng, so many people live in Lixiangyuan It is not a problem, so they can only rent a foreign merchant ship at sea and let them live on the ship temporarily.
As for Yang Meng's conditions, Pan Shicheng agreed with the elder that building a church was a small matter, but missionary work was a big matter, and let these missionaries go to Tibet to preach, Pan Shicheng had to admire the viciousness of his future son-in-law Yang San.
What is Kurabi? Where to preach? The two Buddha kings who hid before and after Tibet, still can't let the iron rod monk pestle these foreign god sticks into meat sauce?
In order to fulfill the lie for his son-in-law, Pan Shicheng also made a death effort, the vast Tibetan border, and the people who believe in it, anyway, as long as it can be hung up, Pan Shicheng hangs it up, and praises the Tibetan border as a propagandism. The divine land of righteousness.
Tibet, the English missionaries know best, a province of the Qing Dynasty! As soon as they heard that there was such a good opportunity, they also sold their strength, and dozens of Englishmen, including a few mercenaries, all lived in the merchant ships.
The foreigners who came back and forth, almost more than 100, how to let them enter Yunnan is also a big problem, ten or eight are good to hide, these 100 people, a few foreign farts can attract the attention of the imperial court, and it has become a great problem to bring some people into Yunnan.
This matter stumped Pan Shicheng, but Yang Meng didn't have anything to worry about, just put these unkind things into the cabin, anyway, all the way against the current, it's not bad to have more ballast goods, get a wind drum, don't let them suffocate to death.
The missionaries are doing things like this, eighty percent of them are spies and the like, these people have to go back and sift it well, and those who do things sincerely stay, and those who have this crooked heart, when they squeeze out the things on their bodies, they will all be sent to the Tibetan side, so that the Buddha king there can have a good pastime and entertain them.
In this way, the first is to deal with these spies, and the second is to sound the alarm bell for the Buddha kings on the Tibetan border, so that they can think about who to cooperate with.
In a month's time, Yang Meng's capital of more than one million yuan allowed Pan Shicheng's business to gain a firm foothold, and the next step was to prepare to enter Yunnan.
The Yang family's horse gang, generally when they come, take a boat, go back to the horse and boat dual-use, some places against the current can not go at all, with Pan Shicheng, the salt official of the two Guangzhou, it is different, this time the boat is all salt boats, along the way there are slender men of the imperial court, and when they encounter a place against the water, they can also be unimpeded.
Yang Meng's things here are easy to do, directly load the goods with gold and silver, but Pan Shicheng is more difficult to do there, this time to Yunnan, he can only pretend to be sick, a few days in advance, Lixiangyuan spread the news that Pan Shicheng was infected with a bad disease, and the governor of Liangguang Qiying also came to visit, because it was a bad disease and was afraid of infection, the two separated the courtyard, and each explained his official duties, and the governor left in a hurry.
The marriage between the two families of Yang Pan cannot be done on the bright side, otherwise the two wealthy businessmen in the southwest and southeast will join forces, and the court will be jealous. This is about to grieve Lian'er, a relative of Mrs. Pan's mother's family became Lian'er's father, and after the official affairs were handled, he began to go up the Pearl River with dozens of big boats.
Sitting on the boat against the current for more than ten days, but the foreign devils who suffered from the bilge, they couldn't speak when they were uncomfortable, and this trip to Yunnan, just on the way, left them with a bad impression.
When I arrived in Guangxi, the name of the Yang family was easy to use, and the silver money was opened all the way to Xiaoxing for the night, and the team of nearly 1,000 people drove directly to Yiliang.
The foreign devils were placed in the training ground in the mountains behind the manor, and the Pan father and daughter temporarily settled in the Yang family manor, the epidemic prevention in Yunnan Mansion is still continuing, and it is approaching winter, and the signs of the plague are gradually subsiding, but the states and counties of Yunnan Prefecture still have to die a few people every few days.
Before Yang Meng left, there was an order, one or two months after the immortal, the epidemic prevention can be stopped, Ding Baojun did not discount at all, how dare Yang Meng say anything, plus this period of time is just to maintain hygiene habits, the monthly cost is only more than a thousand taels of silver, and the epidemic prevention camps in many places have begun to practice the method of killing.
First a few months of epidemic prevention, and then went to Guangzhou, Yang Meng neglected the busy farming season, fortunately, the stewards and bookkeepers in the grange have experience in this area, Yang Meng doesn't care about these things, they take responsibility, Yiliang here The grain output is good, and the opium in the mountain fields is also harvested.
In the past few days, it is just in time to distribute the mountain fields to the Zhuang farmers and tenants in Zhuangzi, because Yang Meng has made arrangements before, although it involves most of the mountain fields in Yiliang, the stewards and accounts are in good order.
Because of the epidemic prevention, the tenants of the Zhuang farmers were not allowed to enter the manor, but set up a bamboo shed on the drying field outside the Zhuangzi, and when he entered the Yang family manor, Pan Shicheng saw the bamboo shed outside the Zhuangzi and the endless stream of people.
Taking advantage of the time when Yang Meng inquired about the recent situation in Yunnan, Pan Shicheng took Lian'er, who was dressed as a man and a woman, and quietly came to the outside of Zhuangzi. Originally, Lian'er shouldn't have been allowed to come out, but Lian'er was a little scared, and the father and daughter were about to part, so Pan Shicheng indulged Lian'er once.
Pan Shicheng's dress is very exquisite, coupled with his age, so that many Zhuang farmers and tenants, thinking that it is Kunming's Yang Buddha came, most of the time, without the help of the Yang family, these people have to live in hunger, if you don't get a lot of people, you can't survive, now divide the mountain fields, although it is barren, but the Yang family gives more acres, and the rent collected is also less pitiful.
These people are all seasoned crop handles, carefully calculated, this year's harvest, not only can fill the stomach, but also the remaining surplus grain, enough for the family to eat the next year, such a good day is just around the corner, without the Yang family's great compassion, how can they have a good day?
The news of the arrival of Yang Buddha in Kunming began to spread among the tenants of Zhuang farmers, because of the itch disease, these people did not dare and did not want to approach Yang Buddha, for fear that they would have itch on their bodies, in case they harmed the merciful Yang Buddha, it would be a sin.
Seeing Yang Buddha from afar, these farmer tenants, they knelt on the ground, shouting Yang Buddha kowtow and thank you, which confused the Pan father and daughter, Lian'er had never seen such a scene, and she was about to go up to help others.
The farmer tenants had experienced the ferocious itching disease, and they dared to let Lian'er get closer, but they didn't care to get up, so they knelt down and retreated, and an old farmer also began to shout:
"Little grandpa, don't get any closer! I'm afraid that our old farmers have itching on their bodies, and if it is passed on to Yang Buddha, it will be a great sin, and we can't afford to kill us! ”
When Lian'er heard this shout, she also stopped, standing in place and feeling a little at a loss, Pan Shicheng was also frightened by the tenants of Zhuang Nong, his own family is amazing!
Lian'er came so suddenly, but frightened the stewards who allocated the land, just now Ding Ye explained, these people are the distinguished guests of the third master's father-in-law's family, and there is no room for sloppiness, this itching has not subsided, once it is passed to these distinguished guests, how can it be good?
"Sir! Master! There has been an epidemic in Yunnan Mansion recently, so the two masters should enter Zhuangzi! The two masters are from other places, so they are afraid that they will not adapt to the water and soil, and if they are infected with the epidemic, it will be our sin! ”
As soon as Pan Shicheng heard about the epidemic, he also added caution, he came to Yunnan to marry the Yang family this time, but he couldn't spoil the harmony of the two families because of the epidemic, so he also listened to the advice of the steward, and under the leadership of the steward, the two of them returned to the Zhuangzi after washing with old vinegar and spirits at the door of the Zhuangzi.
