Chapter 103 Chaos

"Ten millions of kilograms of fine copper, then we made a fortune? How did they hide it?"

Yang Meng could only be surprised by this matter. In decades, he could do this and defeat the great situation of Yunnan copper. This is not simple for Yunnan copper officials.

"Simple! Officials protect each other, passed down from generation to generation, just spend money to buy a way. If I hadn't suddenly obtained the position of Tongsalt Ambassador, if these copper officials were not more arrogant and ignored these military aircraft, could this good thing befall us? These copper officials have been controlled by our people. We just wait for the imperial edict from the court to deal with them. I believe we will gain a lot of money!"

The entry of Sichuan copper into Yunnan is just the beginning. What the Yang family urgently needs now is silver. In order to hold on to the lid of Yunnan copper, one of the copper officials in Yunnan has counted all of them. All of them have settled in Yunnan. The income of Yunnan copper over decades has been made, and hundreds of wealthy families are not small.

"Old man, since they have become a climate, are we going to act rashly, isn't it a bit hasty?"

The cover for decades is revealed at any time, but I am afraid that those bronze officials will resist to the death. Once this matter is missed, deceiving the king is not a trivial matter.

"It's okay! The only thing is that they were too careful before, but now they are too arrogant. Yunnan's bronze officials are a family and have a good attitude. However, an imperial edict from the court ruined the good situation of their previous operations. In order to cover up the matter of Yunnan copper, they also spent a lot of effort. From top to bottom, no one in Yunnan knew the details of the decline of the bronze course.

They spent money to buy ways, and after something happened, the incident of the accumulated Yunnan copper was long gone. These people were half hidden and half-exposed in Yunnan, acting very cautiously. I just knew a rough idea before.

But after capturing several bronze officials, they took their first trial in private, they caught their feet, and they were all the 100 great men! Compared with these people, our family is really not considered a wealthy businessman in the southwest. But these people don’t dare to show off even if they have money. This large amount of gold and silver will be rotten in the cellar.

Don't worry, I have all controlled these people. I'll find an excuse from the official and confiscate their homes!"

Live in Yunnan forever, and dare not eat, drink, and occasionally arrogant. Even if you are once, you have to run out of Yunnan. Apart from purchasing a large amount of land, these people are only left with silver. Yang Shiqin does not intend to let go of such a fat sheep.

"Old man, we won't take action from the official side. Is their family business big?"

The old man's methods are considered open and upright, but if you do this from the official perspective, you are afraid that something will be missed.

"Big! Absolutely big! I have basically figured out these days. Apart from money, it is land. These people are scattered in Yunnan, which is about as much as Zhou Shiqing. More than 20% of the land in Yunnan is in the hands of these people."

Yang Shiqin has not taken action for a long time, and it is because of these lands that with the sages, these things are much easier to do.

"Okay! Great! It's the best in Yunnan. The western Yunnan can handle it soon. After the end of the year, chaos will be inevitable. Take the opportunity to spend some money to get things done. The chaos over there is easy to deal with!

Don’t my brothers let them be officials in other places? Change their strategies first and let them be officials in these places. The plague has not stopped yet! Let them die directly from the plague, so we can take the opportunity to form an epidemic prevention camp.

Aren’t we going to gather mountain people when we open a business road? We just happened to be placed on the spot, so they could also protect our family business there, and we would kill three birds with one stone without starting from the official side.

Otherwise, it would be of no benefit to us if we copy a hundred or ten companies. If someone checks them carefully, we will not be able to escape."

Yang Meng is definitely an expert in armed robbery. The old man said this and he was also enlightened.

"Well! Your method is better than mine! I don't follow my feet like this, I am old and my mind is no longer effective. After finishing the Sichuan copper entry into Yunnan, it seems that I am really going to retire."

Yang Shiqin was also inspired. Although the third brother's method was poisonous, it was absolutely profitable. These stolen officials could only blame them for being unlucky. According to their own methods, their families could still have a way out. Once the third brother's method was released, it really responded to the nickname given to the third brother by the in-laws, Yang Miemen!

Just after a fat year, I encountered a gold mine that was too big to the end of the year. Yang Meng's face also looked happy. Just when the father and the others were happy, the news from western Yunnan came and chaos came again!

"Who is the leader? How many people gather?"

When Yang Meng heard that the chaos had started again, he couldn't sit still. Du Wenxiu, Ma Qinghu and his party entered Beijing, but there has not been a single word yet. I am afraid that the matter there will be very difficult.

Du Wenxiu and others must have made an agreement with the local tribe members. Du Wenxiu and others have not returned for a long time, and the Huihui in western Yunnan seems to have been out of constraints, and this time the matter is difficult to deal with.

"He was led by Huang Baba, Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing assisted him, and had gathered thousands of people to train troops and make swords in Mengting Village in Youdian. The surrounding green camp has retreated."

"Why did the chaos start? What are the Yongchang's group training doing? Aren't they claimed to be tens of thousands? Is Jinji Village still there?"

The Green Camp retreated and there was no news of Yongchang's regiment training. Yang Meng knew that the situation was serious. Last time, He Changling personally supervised the army and defeated Zhang Shixian. This time, he might have to fight again.

Fortunately, Yang Meng left some swordsmanship in western Yunnan, otherwise the situation there would have to wait until the Green Camp was dispatched before the Yang family could learn about it.

Under the explanation of the knife hand, Yang Meng also had a general understanding of the incident. As he expected, the Han people celebrated the New Year this time, which caused dissatisfaction with the revenge of Yongchang's suffering.

The last time He Changling led his troops to suppress the rebellion was quite effective. He agreed to return the land to Yongchang, but because the court rewarded the Yang family, He Changling hurried back to Kunming, and this matter was done completely.

When he got the land, the Han landlords naturally would not stop easily. The local officials and gentry in Yongchang hated Hui Hui again. Although He Changling gave an order to do this, his subordinates did not do it thoroughly. Not only did they not return the land, they also drove away the victims.

After the end of the year, there was no news about Du Wenxiu and others, and the land had not been returned for a long time. Huang Baba and others who were stranded in Yongping went to the Yongping County Government to file a lawsuit. It would be fine if this matter was not made, but there was a dispute.

Huang Baba and others' request was very simple, and they asked the government to distribute land and then distributed thousands of taels of money to let them go home to prepare for spring sowing.

But Jing Yaochun, the magistrate of Yongping County, thought that these Huihui cheated and blackmailed the government, so he did not want to deal with this matter, but Huang Baba and others refused to do it! He directly made a harsh statement in the county government, saying that their property did not need to be investigated by the government, and they went to get it back by themselves.

What happened to come back? Jing Yaochun knew that this was a fight! Huang Baba and others were also frightened. Can fighting with the government be beneficial to them? A 'crack of the board' was Jing Yaochun's reply.

Huang Baba and others who were beaten will naturally not be willing to accept it. The cities and villages of Yongchang were filled with their letters overnight. Everyone in Yongchang returned to him was in danger. In a few days, they gathered thousands of people.

Like Zhang Shixian's men, these people were all skilled martial arts practitioners. With the response of mountain people from all over Yongchang, a team of thousands of people was built.

Huang Baba was not able to sue, but he still had a lot of troops. After plundering several Han villages, he took food, grass, silver and money to occupy the Mengting Village in Youdian. It was obvious that he was going to fight against the Qing Dynasty in a large scale.

"Last year, something is not good! The harvest in Yunnan last year was not good. There has been no rain since last winter. This year's harvest is probably going to be ruined! If there is a chaos in this yellow, I am afraid that it will last for a long time. Once there is no harvest during the farming period, not only will western Yunnan be in chaos, but it may affect other prefectures."

The cost of porridge in the first month has been released, nearly 200,000 yuan. The news provided by merchants in various places is not very good. Last year, the grain harvest in Yunnan was a bad one, and there was a canal irrigation in Yiliang, which was not greatly affected, but other places in Yunnan were different.

The Yang family's land is mostly concentrated in Yunnan Prefecture, and there is no idea about the bad harvest this time. It cost 200,000 yuan to give the porridge. Based on this, Yang Shiqin has a rough idea. In the past, the maximum of porridge in the whole country was only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. It was not hungry, and no one would accept the alms in the first lunar month. The cost of five or six times means that there are many hungry people in Yunnan.

Huang Baba was so fussy that he was afraid that all the places would respond. The Yang family's momentum had just improved. Such large-scale civil chaos was very fatal to the Yang family and Yunnan.

"Damn Jing Yaochun, thousands of taels of silver, and the land that should have been repaid, because this caused chaos in the people, it was too worthwhile. These damn bastards are just going to go to western Yunnan to solve the bronze officials. Let me go! Last time I had a conflict with Shen Jucheng from Jinji Village, and this time I happened to be removed! And Liu Guimao, who was resentful, also sent them away!"

Yang Meng sometimes can't remember the miscellaneous things, but his enemy Yang Meng can remember clearly. He just took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and took charge of western Yunnan and took away those who hated the Yang family.

"No! Now is not the time. Keeping them can still restrain Huang Baba and others, otherwise you will have no restrictions. Then you will have to deal with Huang Baba and others. Why bother to commit more murder and let them live for a while!"

Yang Shiqin knew very well about his third brother's method. If he asked him to do it, Jinji Village would probably not be able to save it. Such a thing as slaughtering the village would inevitably harm the innocent, so it would be better to do less.

In addition, the civil unrest is mainly Hui Hui, and western Yunnan is not the territory of the Yang family. It is not a good thing to kill Shen Jucheng and others now. If Huang Baba is out of control, the Yang family will have to clean up the mess in the future.

There are a lot of people in the civil unrest this time, and the Green Camp will inevitably take action. Killing the Green Camp generals in this sensitive period will also cause a lot of trouble.

"Let's talk about it then! He Changling may not go to quell this rebellion, but Yunnan Admiral Zhang Bilu will definitely go. The green camp soldiers under his command are not things, so it is hard to guarantee that they will not conflict with them. This trip to western Yunnan will mainly deal with the Tongguan. For the rest, as long as they do not touch the Yang family's industry in western Yunnan, I will not take advantage of the Yang family's property in western Yunnan. If they don't know what to do, it would be impossible to give him a powerful man with the yellow flag."

The old man has a good idea. Now, apart from Chen Jucheng and others, Du Wenxiu and other senior executives are not here. I am afraid that Huang Baba will not be controlled and that western Yunnan will be in chaos, and the Yang family will be the one who contributes money and efforts.

"Well! Just do it! Try not to do it. Once you do it, you will have to do it. You can't leave a trace of your feet. Now the court has asked me to be the Ambassador of the Three Secretariats. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at our family! Don't use your 8,000 troops in Yiliang. This time, some of the swordsmen in Wuzhuang and the regiment training in Kunming are the main ones. The banner is to protect our family's industries in western Yunnan.

After taking the land and money of the bronze officials, you can directly lead the local mountaineering people down the mountain, share the fields to their fields, and form a new group training on the spot. This is how! Don’t take the group training in Kunming, just take the swordsman from the village. After you go, you will recruit the mountaineering people to protect yourself. The current situation is too chaotic and you must not leave a handle in western Yunnan.

The eight thousand men in your epidemic prevention camp will also be divided into five thousand to Kunming! You don’t know what the result is, so we have to prepare in advance.”

I didn't care about the previous days because the third brother responded properly. At this time, Yang Shiqin also showed off his real skills. Things in western Yunnan have always been very subtle. Huihui, militia and green camp have maintained a relative balance, but the year is not good and there are too many hungry people. If the people expand indiscriminately and the militia and green camp in western Yunnan are defeated, things will become out of control. (To be continued.)
