Chapter 130: Planning

"He Changling's matter is important, when the cargo ship of the East India Company comes, I will leave to return to Yunnan, and the affairs of Guangzhou will have to worry more about my father-in-law.

As for the business group training, let Yang Fuliang do it both! This person is good, he was originally the steward of the Yang family's horse gang, he is literate and hyphenated, and he has spirituality in doing things, and his father-in-law will take him with him, don't let him make any mess in Guangzhou. ”

It is also a helpless move to use Yang Fuliang, there is really no one under Yang Meng's hands, this Yang Fuliang is a good one, but the gangsterism is too heavy, I am afraid that he will be in Guangzhou, the opium merchants of the Qing Dynasty, and some illegal businessmen, will be unlucky.

The robbery of Yang Meng did not resist, but he was still very willing to do it, but he was afraid that Yang Fuliang's eyesight was not enough, and he would cause big trouble in Guangzhou, so that his father-in-law Pan Shicheng would often mention it, and after he returned to Yunnan, he would see if he could find suitable people.

If Yang Fuliang is competent, it is undoubtedly the best, if he is too wild, he can only let him follow Patrick and his son to the sea, and the sea is a good place for him to make waves.

Guangzhou is an important place, only Yang Fuliang is left, Yang Meng is not at ease, among his uncles and brothers, if there are suitable candidates, it would be good if he went back and focused on promoting them this time!

"Hmmm! I'll keep an eye on it, I've also seen Yang Fuliang in your family, the wolf nature is too big! Guangzhou is a world of flowers, I'm afraid that he will be addicted to it and can't extricate himself!

Now the number of people in the patrol camp is not much, there should be no trouble, three or five years later, Yang Fuliang must not be able to sit in Guangzhou, let him go to sea is not bad, such a person should be placed in the old forest, can not let him wantonly spread joy, otherwise I am afraid that he will commit a wolf nature. Bully the Lord and hurt the Lord! ”

Whether it is Wei Wu or Pan Shicheng. They all have their own way of looking at people. is also extremely sophisticated, and at this point, it is Yang Meng's shortcomings.

"Hmmm! That's what I mean. It's a good choice to let him go to sea, let him stay in Guangzhou first, and I've been really short of people recently. Now Guangzhou also needs a figure like Yang Fuliang, whether it is the fifteen business alliances or the outlying islands, they will have to see blood in the early stage, and wait for the charter here. It's not too late to find someone to replace you. ”

Fifteen business alliances have been established, there will definitely be people who are not convinced, even if the goods of the fifteen business alliances are at the same price as foreign devils, there will be people who will come out to cause trouble, and the trading of peeling is not easy to do, and it is a good choice to leave Yang Fuliang in the early stage.

As for how to settle Yang Fuliang in the future, we have to look at the situation, the best choice is to let him go to sea, his gangsterism can bring out a wolf navy, but it is still a little early to say this. Let's take it one step at a time!

"You're right, I'll look at it closer. It's not a matter for a year or two. The East India Company's cargo ships will not arrive in a few days, and the thirteen companies have already sent people in the past few days, are you going to let them go first? Or do you want to come back all at once? ”

Pan Shicheng is very concerned about the changes in the Liangguang Elders' Association, the Pearl River is now the most important waterway of the Yang family, and the people of the Elders' Association are always disturbed, which is definitely not a good thing for business travelers.

"Let them come back with me! I don't know the means of the Elders' Association, but taking the waterway is nothing more than maneuvering on the boat, and seeing if the manpower sent by the thirteen families can cooperate with my people. There was a lot of cargo on the ships that went back, and there were also a few ships of goods from the East India Company, and there must be no mistakes.

If the elder brother doesn't know each other, he can only kill back. In the past few days, I will integrate the Yunnan New Army and the previous swordsmen, and Yang Fuliang's men and horses will also have to be dispersed, so you can also find some suitable young men over there!

It's really not good, so let these people go back to Yunnan with me first, after all, these ships of goods are important, and if they are sunk by the elders, it will be difficult to enter again. ”

What Yang Meng has been waiting for in Guangzhou is the goods of the East India Company, several ships of munitions, the private transactions between the two British governments, Indian-made munitions, brand-new weapons and equipment, these things Yang Meng must look at before he can return to Yunnan with peace of mind.

The commercial representative of the East India Company promised to get himself the main gun body of ten twenty-four-pounder guns, which were not old goods, but brand new goods, ten twenty-four-pounder guns, which were good goods that could not be bought with money, and there was absolutely no room for loss, so Yang Meng stayed in Guangzhou for the time being.

"It's a good thing to be cautious, the tiger squat cannon made by Milican is also about to arrive, you wait a little longer, you have to try the function of these fifty tiger squat cannons set up more than half a year ago, if it doesn't work, we still have to use foreigners' artillery."

I have taken the road of these artillery, just to buy the way to spend a small 100,000 taels, Renlei assured me that the use of the best techniques, the cost of these fifty tiger squat cannons is too great, if it does not work, it must be stopped quickly, the tiger squat cannon is not a heavy artillery after all, or a foreign cannon is more appropriate.

However, the 100,000 taels were not spent in vain, and Renlei promised to give a batch of Millican's best heavy artillery, thirty or fifty should be no problem, but the price is a bit outrageous, five thousand taels of silver for a piece, if we don't want it? ”

As soon as the topic changed, Pan Shicheng also remembered the previous order, fifty pure steel tiger squat cannons, and the heavy artillery promised by Renres, these things are simply squandering with silver.

Five thousand taels of silver, it's not a big price to say, but a few days ago, I got a three-pounder cannon for Yunnan, how much is it? One hundred and fifty taels, with a gun carriage.

The heavy artillery is only about twenty-four pounds, one or two thousand catties of weight, five thousand taels of silver, Renlei This is the lion's big mouth! Pan Shicheng estimated that five thousand taels of silver, ten heavy guns of eight guns at this price, Ren Lei caught it accurately this time, and immediately took it on his weakness and bought the cannon at ten times the price, which was a shameful deal.

"That's a good thing! I'm not afraid that they are greedy, I'm afraid that they won't be greedy, Ren Lei, don't give him silver, one hundred and ten pounds of cloud smoke and a heavy cannon, and the silver is also about five thousand and a half, give it to him!

But there's one thing, spot trading! As long as it is a cannon that can be used, let him open his mouth, the price of Yunyan will not drop during this time, if we can talk, we will not negotiate the price with him, only talk about the technique, as long as he takes out the cannon casting technique that can be used, the price will be opened with him.

But the cash could not be given to him, and it was all discounted with cloud smoke. Isn't he in the Navy? Let him use a warship to transport goods, Yunyan can bring a warship no matter how he can bring tens of thousands of catties, and he is not afraid that he will not take the bait with a profit of more than 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels. ”

It's best to have a way. The last thing that Yunnan lacks now is silver. But silver can't be given to foreign devils. Let Yunyan replace, such a large supply, Yang Meng is also planning, replacing manual labor with machines, and reducing the conch content in Yunyan.

It's also a good idea to corrupt the navies of various countries, so that they can see the huge profits of Yunyan, and secretly entrainment in order to free up the warehouse, and want to come with those shells and gunpowder or something. They were also willing to sell to Pan's firm.

"I heard that the boss is not very smooth in Sichuan, and he has to be cautious about competing with others for profit, now that there are fifteen business alliances, as well as the opium of the East India Company, our business also needs to be stable, the trade route of Sichuan, Tibet, Gansu and Shaanxi, wait for a while!

It is the right thing to hold Yunnan first, He Changling will fall, and it will take three or five months for the next governor to go to Yunnan. Take advantage of this opportunity to win over the official gentry in Yunnan. opened a business in Yunnan, and when the new governor came, without the nod of the Yang family, he could only do anything in vain if he wanted to act in Yunnan. ”

He Changling is going to be unlucky, this is a good opportunity for the Yang family, scattering money to buy official vacancies, taking advantage of the fall of He Changling and the arrival of the new governor, Yunnan will be in hand.

"It's good! The new army in Yunnan has just been established, tens of thousands of mountain people in western Yunnan are training, and now the situation in Yunnan is not very stable, I will be slower there, but you can't be slow here, the protection of the merchant group training, the outlying islands, Patrick and his son, and the fifteen business alliances, this time will be tired of you getting old. ”

In the matter of Guangzhou, his father-in-law still has to work hard, he is not there, and there is no decent manpower in Guangzhou, so he can only rely on this red-top businessman of the Qing Dynasty.

"That's it! What I should do, you don't have to remember, arrange the manpower well these days, the way back is not very smooth, this elder will be able to put a horse, or let a horse, after all, the strength of this elder will be not small, and a war with them, I am afraid that this momentum is not small, it will attract people's attention. ”

Pan Shicheng is most worried about the elders' association, the killing of the Pearl River Estuary, the Yang family is considered to have a mortal enmity with the elders' association, and the Yang family must have won the last fight, but it has made a momentum, which is not good for the Yang family.

"Momentum? That's right! Father-in-law, go to Qiying to ask for a military order, row the fleet this time to the salt class, please order to suppress the bandits, I don't believe in killing the bandits who are not afraid of the Elders' Association. ”

Pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner, in case something happens, it is also good for the official offices of Liangguang to bear it, after all, they took a big advantage last time to suppress bandits.

"Good! Why didn't I think that if I brought all the more than 1,000 new troops and swept the waterways, the elders would have already offended them to death, and if they knew each other, they would let them go, and if they didn't know each other, they would do what you said. ”

His beloved son-in-law's means of using his strength to fight are clever, and if the elder brother doesn't know each other, he will suffer a big loss.

"But there is one thing, this time is different from the previous time, just be afraid of them, don't kill them all, I still don't approve of the killing method of good and bad.

After I go back to these things, the whole article will come out, and you can take a look at it again, and it is easy to point out the wrong places. After you go back, let Pan Gui give you a hand, bowing to everything is not the way to do big things. ”

Yang Meng, the son-in-law, can be regarded as entering Pan Shicheng's heart, the longer he gets along, the more he feels smooth, and his feelings for this half of the son are a little more than Pan Gui's parent-in-law.

"Okay! Just do what you say. ”

Sent Pan Shicheng away, Yang Meng directly found the injured Qin Ziqi, the road back to Yunnan is not easy to walk, you have to make plans early, in case it is folded in the hands of the elders, the loss of goods is a trivial matter, and it will cost the Yang family face, but it is a big deal.

The current Pearl River waterway has become the place where the Yang family makes money, and it has been frustrated by the elders' association, and I don't know how many people will pounce on it to suck the blood of the Yang family!

"Third master, what do you call me?"

"Ziqi is here, is the injury better?"

"It's not in the way, it's been rubbed by a projectile, and it will be fine in three or five days."

"The last time I suppressed the bandits, I touched the mold of the Elders' Association, and I have news here that they are going to ambush us on the waterway. This time the journey back to Yunnan may not be smooth, you arrange manpower to secretly return to Yunnan by land, and let Wei Huozi take 3,000 foot soldiers down the river.

The 1,000 new troops at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou should not move, let them send half of their men to protect Yunyan and trade with the foreigners, and the remaining half will stay where they are, and let them support them along the way if things go wrong.

The transfer station on the border between Yunnan and Guangxi will be deployed with cavalry, and this time we will establish our authority on the Pearl River waterway. If there is enough time, let the old man go to the Governor's Mansion and find He Changling to get an edict to suppress bandits, if there is not enough time or trouble, forget it. ”

In Yang Meng's eyes, the elder brother is a good character of Liwei, he doesn't care what these people do, as long as he dares to stretch out his claws, Yang Meng will have to chop people together.

Zhilu said. Third master, don't you need Yang Fuliang to explore the rumors? ”

Last time I joined forces with Yang Fuliang, things went very well, and the gangster Yang Fuliang also left a good impression in Qin Ziqi's heart.

"That bandit, I'll keep it and it's still useful, you can do these things yourself, leave a few capable people, follow Patrick and his son, and after the election is selected, send it directly to me." (To be continued......)
