It was not too big, and a pair of shoes with rough workmanship were made by Zhang Coach and a copper smith. These were all made by Zhang Coach. If it matched the third master's thoughts, it would not be too late for him to make fine products.

"It's a bit like this. The copper plate is wrapped in double-layer leather. It can't be pushed to the feet. It can be breathable by making small holes in the leather. The ankle is harder and the holes for shoelaces. It should be wrapped in copper leather. The sole of the shoe. It's enough. The copper plate only has one piece on the toes. Don't do it all. There should be another layer of leather under the copper plate."

Yang Meng found out the shortcomings and said that after he gave Cen Yuying, he asked him to direct the two of them to make shoes. When Yang Meng was planning his career, he encountered a big problem, which was how to build a team that was loyal to him.

Those bitter men in Yiliang are easy to use, but they are not wild enough. The ethnic minorities in the mountains are afraid that they are not easy to tame. Without loyal people, no matter how much money they get, they will eventually be in vain.

"Cen Yuying, you've finished telling them. Come here, I have something to discuss with you."

After a while, Cen Yuying came to Yang Meng's face. Seeing that he was thinking about things, he stood by silently, waiting for Yang Meng to speak.

"Cen Yuying, how do you think the Third Master gather a team of shared services to protect the Yang family's business?"

Now it is time to see Cen Yuying’s use. Don’t open your mouth too much and there are no affordable things at all. So what use is Yang Meng who wants him?

"Third Master just calls student Yuying, or call student Yan Qing, too. Cen Yuying is a little bit distant. To gather people, there are two best ways to get together, one is money, and the other is land. Money can meet temporary needs, and land can protect the needs of a lifetime."

Cen Yuying is a very smart 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."

"As the same age as me, I wonder if we can work together to build a world that belongs to us. The land you said can protect the needs of a lifetime. Can you tell me in detail?"

Yang Meng is considered to be a human being in his two lives, nearly 60 or 70 years old. Compared with this villain, he seems to be much worse. Fortunately, he has lived for a lifetime and has seen a lot of things, so he dared to try to subdue this talent.

"This is simple to say. Although Yunnan is in a peaceful state, there is only one reason for the riots, food! The leaders of the traitors may have various reasons, but the reason for the mountain people and the people who followed them to rebel was simple, that is, who can eat enough, whoever can share the land and whoever can make them eat enough, they will work for whoever they will work hard."

Cen Yuying's analysis opened Yang Meng's eyes again. It is definitely not easy for this sixteen-year-old child to have such a vision! Is this the so-called genius?

"Food, land..."

Yang Meng was also thinking carefully that there were thousands of hectares of fertile land in the Yiliang Zhouda cattle. He used this land to attract a group of subordinates and then slowly expanded, and he had no hope of success.

"Yuying, with land, it is difficult to protect these people. After food and clothing, there is no other idea. How should we control them?"

Giving them a land is simple, but human desires are endless. When giving them land, they still want money, they still want women, and women still want status. Do they want to satisfy them one by one? One day, how many people will become their opponents. If they do it, will they have everything?

"The land can be planted and the output can be eaten, but the third master must hold these land firmly in his own hands. This is to grasp their lifeblood. People should not get rich soon. Once they get rich, they will have other thoughts. Hold them firmly with the land, slowly let them eat and live a good life, let them rely on the third master and trust the third master. Will they still worry about not working hard at that time?"

This little boy is so fucking amazing that he will never be able to read these things after studying. Yang Meng listened silently, but his murderous intent became more and more powerful. This guy can use it just because he is the pillar of the body. If he can't use it, it's better to do it as soon as possible.

"What about those people around Yunnan?"

It’s not too late to squeeze out this kid’s things first and then kill them. This kid is too weird.

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

"Explanation, why are most Han people unavailable?"

This idea coincides with me. Although I have not seen many Han people, they are weak and cowardly, and are not good materials for joining the army.

"In the era of the mountain people, they lived in Yunnan. First, they were familiar with the mountains and forests in Yunnan. Second, most of the mountains and forests were steep, and the physical strength and force of the mountain people were stronger than that of the Han people. Back people gathered together and had the tradition of practicing martial arts, which was also stronger than that of the Han people. Most of the Han people moved to Yunnan and were proficient in farming, so that most of them could get a meal. Although they could not eat or spend money, they would not starve to death. If they could barely live, the Han people would not be willing to rebel. If they were forced to force themselves, the Han people would be as good as the mountain people."

How incisive this analysis is. This bastard must not be kept. It is too powerful. You can have such insights at the age of sixteen. What about twenty-six or thirty-six? Don’t make it all over and over, make him a wedding dress.

"Where should we start this huge territory in Yunnan?"

Although he was full of murderous intent in his heart, Yang Meng still held back and did not show his murderous aura. This was his ability.

"Yiliang! Yiliang is known as the grain silo in central Yunnan. If you occupy Yiliang, you will occupy the bloodline of Yunnan. People with bloodlines will die!"

This bastard's toxic thoughts suddenly point out the most powerful thing. If there is not enough food, someone will go hungry. As long as you control the food, the powder barrel in Yunnan will be ignited. At the age of sixteen, you have such thoughts. When you grow up, you will be your own disaster star. Cen Yuying will definitely not be able to keep it.

"If Yunnan is blocked, what should we do if it attracts the attention of the court? If Yunnan Province is located in a province, it will definitely be defeated in the entire Qing Dynasty! This is what you said yourself. Just sit back so easily, it will be unsatisfactory!"

Yang Meng did not forget the conversation between him and Cen Yuying in Wuzhuang. His point of view was a bit confusing!

"That's the student's point of view. I just talked about the general situation in Yunnan that I heard from an old scholar in Yiliang. The third master asked most of the questions asked by us young scholars at that time."

The old clerk? If you want to ask where the old clerk is? Maybe he is dead! Although Yang Meng was shaken when he heard the old clerk, he still wanted to kill Cen Yuying.

"What did the old clerk say when he fights against a country with the power of a province?"

"Yunnan is backed by Myanmar and Vietnam, and Myanmar and Vietnam are still the world of the barbarians. They have exchanged with the barbarians and have their guns and cannons. The Qing Dynasty is just a native dog."

After saying this, Yang Meng's heart suddenly jumped twice. Isn't this what he is good at? Transporting to Myanmar and Vietnam, trading with the Eight-Nation Alliance, using guns and cannons to resist the Qing Dynasty, which is not much different from what he thought.

At first, Yang Meng wanted to take the path of Guangdong. Now, when Cen Yuying said that this matter is much simpler. There are all Mekong River, Red River, mountain roads, and water and land transportation. The purchase and delivery are closer than the journey to Guangdong. This little boy must be killed!

"Is that old clerk of Yiliang still there? If I have the chance, I want to meet this master."

It was time for the answer to be revealed. If Cen Yuying dared to say that the old clerk was dead, he would bury this evil bastard when he went back.

"It's still here! At that time, a group of classmates and I were discussing the "Jiangning Treaty" signed by the Qing Dynasty. The old clerk said that the Qing Dynasty was about to destroy the country. We were not convinced to argue with him. So he said this. I wonder what the Third Master has to think?"

Now it was Yang Meng's turn to be at a loss. There was such a person in Yiliang. Let's not talk about this for the time being, let this little boy go first. I will also go to Yiliang recently. If there is no old clerk then, it will not be too late to kill this guy.

"My opinion is feasible. Let's try it. If it can, it may be a road to heaven. If it can't, I will help you to advance all the way. Is this agreement OK? I won't count the agreement in Wuzhuang today."

Yang Meng did not rule out that Cen Yuying was lying to him, but the remarks just now probably wouldn't come from the mouth of a sixteen-year-old boy. If this is the case, then he would have encountered a real monster.

"It's okay to try it. The so-called unity of knowledge and action is just like this. I will accompany the third master to another visit."

Not to mention the remarks just now, Cen Yuying is also a talented person, but whether it can be used or not is a big question.

After saying this just now, Yang Meng also opened a skylight. The risk of going to the front line of Guangdong was almost gone. As long as he could lay a foundation in Yunnan, everything would be easy to solve.

But the front line of Guangdong cannot give up. In the initial transaction with foreign devils, safety is still the priority. I have no foundation in Yunnan and rashly go to the front line of Myanmar and Vietnam. If the foreign devils see great benefits, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not deal with them.

Your own business can start from Guangdong. If it goes well, buy guns and cannons, and then open a first-line business route between Myanmar and Vietnam. The Yang family's business route between Myanmar and Vietnam must be kept confidential so as not to make Yunnan the target of foreign devils.

With the method Cen Yuying said, Yang Meng felt that everything was clear, occupying land, raising people, and slowly expanding his strength until he could defend his territory, and he could play with great fanfare.

The next thing to do is to quickly produce drug formulas, build plantations, and build drug manufacturing plants. With these, you can slowly start.

Manpower, secret factory construction locations and trade routes are the most urgent things. Clothes and shoes are just paths. You can’t waste time here. When your strength grows, what can you not do?
