Chapter 174 Reconstruction of the male and female villages

When the major events in Yunnan were over, Wei Wu also restrained him. He was waiting for the Qing Dynasty to take office in Yunnan. Yang Meng rarely had a comfortable time. For more than half a month, his relationship with Wei Zhiqing was also improving rapidly.

Now Yang Meng and Tang Meiyi have become students of Lian'er and Wei Zhiqing, and they learn not just other things but reading and writing. Tang Meiyi is better. In the past year, apart from playing swords and guns with Lian'er, they have just followed the text and sniping. Although the small regular script is not written very regularly, it at least looks like a word.

Yang Meng became the laughing stock of the back house. He could write many words for him. If he changed his brush to let him write small regular script, Yang Sanye was blind. It was not that he could not write, but that he could write the characters. Yang Meng couldn't even see them.

A good letter paper can write hundreds of words, and Tang Meiyi is not much the same as that of Yang Meng, and it is good if Yang Meng can write twenty or thirty words. Some time ago, Yang Meng learned a lot of things with Pan Gui, and the amount of effort available is to read. This writing cannot be learned in a day or two.

Wei Zhiqing was also taking the opportunity to take revenge. She was a widow at home and didn't want to be plotted by Yang Meng. She lost her wealth inexplicably and was still ravaged these days. Although the joy of the boudoir is a good thing, she cannot afford to make this thief.

Yang Meng is really not very talented in reading and writing. In more than ten days, he at least wrote his name roughly. During these ten days, because he couldn't write well, Yang Meng was scolded by Wei Zhiqing a lot.

Wei Zhiqing scolded her so hard during the day, and Yang Meng was desperate tormenting her at night, but this person was also unwilling to admit defeat. After a while, the two of them had become deeper and deeper.

During these ten days, Yang Meng did not waste all his time reading and writing. The mountain girl he summoned by Tang Meiyi was also trained by him.

With Lian'er's support, there are nearly two hundred mountain girls in the manor, and the back house is their goal to protect.

In addition to being so beautiful, the mountain girls chosen by Tang Meiyi also have good skills. Although they are not as good as the swordsmen of the Yang family, the skills these mountain girls are far stronger than those of the Green Camp soldiers.

Yiliang's Yang Family Manor was originally obtained from Zhou Da cattle, and it was built according to military camps. Yang Meng kept the most elite 500 new troops in the manor all year round, plus dozens of large and small artillery guns. Not to mention the farm surrounding the manor, the Yang Family Manor alone is definitely a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The more than 200 female soldiers in the back house seemed a bit redundant, but Yang Meng did not intend to give up these people. The mountain girls chosen by Tang Meiyi were not only good-looking and skilled in martial arts, but also loyal to the Yang family.

Some of these mountain girls come from farms, while others are sisters of the swordsmen. It is also good to train generals at all levels to control the new army.

Yang Meng handed over the method to Tang Meiyi, and she also showed extraordinary talent to these Tang Meiyi. After years of traveling around the world, she quickly understood Professor Yang Meng's things. A secret organization also quietly took shape in the back house of the manor.

Lian'er, the daughter of a wealthy family, also played a very important role in it. Over the past year, because of her offspring, she has also been under pressure from two old men from Guangzhou and Kunming. Yang Shiqin from Kunming gave her at most some nourishing medicinal herbs, but Pan Shi's achievements in Guangzhou are different.

More than a dozen mothers and maids were sent to Yiliang, where there were women and women who were good at men and women. There were also headmasters who trained thin horses in Yangzhou. The existence of these people allowed Lian'er to learn a lot. However, when training these mountain girls, the servants around Lian'er were excellent candidates.

First, the mountain girl in the back house was screened by Ding Taichen, Qin Ziqi, Yang Meng, and Tang Meiyi. There were more than 200 people, and only more than 60 people were available. Next, Yang Meng taught how to spy on and convey information. The mothers and the head teachers taught them how to get. Men, reading and literacy are of course essential.

Yang Meng secretly estimated that it would take at least one year to use these 60 people. Lin Zexu was coming. In addition to the 8,000 New Army directly under Wei Tuozi, it would be at least one year later to integrate the personnel in western Yunnan. This period is also just right. At that time, the promotion and marriage will be given, and the new army in Yunnan will be easy to master.

Yang Meng did not intend to stay in the manor for the remaining more than 100 people. After these people learned to read and write, they screened out those who could use it. They went to Yiliang and western Yunnan to gather women of all ages from all ethnic groups to read and recognize words together, and then build a relatively loose intelligence organization.

Wei Zhiqing's idea made Yang Meng very satisfied. He built women's schools in various places, and women's schools were also considered aristocratic things. Women's schools in various places were mostly built by officials and wealthy businessmen. Women of various ages can also learn some etiquette, skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting through women's schools.

Wei Zhiqing and Lian'er both attended girls' schools, but it became difficult to hire a knowledgeable female teacher. Fortunately, Yang Meng only built a literacy class. Since he couldn't find a female teacher, he used an older male tutor, so that the establishment of the girls' schools would have conditions.

As the leader of this female intelligence group, Tang Meiyi has also been taught a lot of intelligence knowledge by Yang Meng. Yang Meng did not ask them to sell their bodies, but asked them to marry the Yang family's people. From knife hands to managers, these women were a killer move in Yang Meng's hands after they got married.

In addition to the knowledge of dealing with intelligence, Yang Meng repeatedly emphasized that he should constantly instill the benefits of the Yang family in them. After repeated or twice, the things instilled in the girls' school will become unforgettable memories. Once it is time to make a choice, I believe that the Yang family will have a great chance of winning.

After arranging all the matters, Ding Taichen naturally gave another sting. It doesn't matter if he builds a girls' school in the manor, but it can be spread all over Yiliang. The cost of building a girls' school in western Yunnan is quite large.

First, the house used in the school was a few hundred taels, and the larger ones were larger and the better locations cost several thousand taels. The tutors didn’t cost much, but the students’ expenses were quite large! They were responsible for food and accommodation in school, and the family also gave subsidies. Ding Taichen had never heard of such a sucker before.

The cost of building dozens of schools is large in the early stage, but the Yang family has a lot of real estate in western Yunnan, many of which are idle. If you go to the real estate, the cost in the early stage is not large.

The annual expenditure of girls' schools will continue to increase as the scale expands. The most important thing is this expenditure, just like flowing water, without any beginning or end. Minghu Academy has 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year, and builds girls' schools throughout Yunnan. If it is possible to make a year's expenditure of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands a year, and millions a year. This account cannot be calculated carefully, and once it is calculated, a mountain of gold will be thrown out.

But no matter how much I complain, Ding Taichen never discounts the things arranged by the third master. He chose a location or a person. Such errands will take less than a few months. At that time, more than a hundred mountain girls will be sent to various parts of Yunnan.

As for the guards of the Houzhai, Yang Meng only left twenty mountain girls with good skills and beautiful plates. The number of these twenty people was enough to protect the Houzhai.

The matters of Houzhai were almost done, but Tang Meiyi was a little embarrassed and blocked Yang Meng.

"Third Master, Mei Yi has something to say."

"If you have something to ask me, what's going on with your Lisu Gongmu Village?"

The three women in the back house are the most caring and loyal to Tang Meiyi, which is why Yang Meng handed over the women's intelligence group to Tang Meiyi.

Lian'er is holding Pan Shicheng from Guangzhou, and Wei Zhiqing is holding Wei Wu. Although these two people can't see anything now, they may not be able to participate in the power struggle in the future. Only Tang Meiyi is absolutely sincere to him.

"Well... the tribesmen want to return to the old village in western Yunnan and recommend me to be the leader. I don't know what to do."

Some time ago, Tang Meiyi sent the several master-mother-class knives obtained from Zhou Shiqing back to the new village, but unexpectedly caused trouble to her.

The name of Mr. Yang Fo of Kunming is quite good in the Gongmu Village of the Lisu tribe. If it weren't for Yang Shiqin's support, it would be hard to say whether these people could move out of western Yunnan alive. When he heard that Tang Meiyi became the third wife of the Yang family, the tribesmen of the Gongmu Village had other ideas.

The place where Gongmu Village lives now is not a good place. Not to mention the poor mountains and bad waters, the production in the fields is getting lower and lower every year. When the Yunnan famine was famine, the newly built Gongmu Village could not support it. However, the three swords sent back by Tang Meiyi gave them hope.

Returning to the old village in western Yunnan has become the wish of most of the male and female clansmen, but Tang Meiyi does not want to bother Yang Meng, and she became Yang Meng's concubine. She went out to show up in public as the village leader, for fear that the old man in Kunming would not want to. However, Tang Meiyi also hopes that his clansmen can return to the old village, after all, it is their real home.

Tang Meiyi has also learned a lot from the Yang family in the past two years. She knew that rebuilding Gongmu Village not only had to buy back the original forest, but also a village of tens of thousands of people was not so easy to build, but she was afraid that it would cost too much money and make the third master embarrassed.

"Do whatever you want, and I will support you as long as you want."

This was a good opportunity for Yang Meng. Tang Meiyi was not like Wei Zhiqing. There was no engagement between the two because Tang Meiyi didn't want to be encircled. With Lian'er as her company, she let it go. Now it was an opportunity.

Tang Meiyi was obedient to Lian'er. As long as Tang Meiyi was still in the manor, she could not get rid of Lian'er's influence on her. Tang Meiyi's surname has been worn away by herself in the past two years. It is obvious that it is not enough to have loyalty alone. The reconstruction of Gongmu Village gave Yang Meng a chance.

It is a good choice to let Tang Meiyi return to the Lisu people and be a decisive female village leader. The reconstruction of this Gongmu Village can not only control the Lisu people in the original Gongmu Village, but also attract more Lisu mountaineers. It is also a good way to build a small city on the basis of the original Gongmu Village.

"But if that happens, I will leave the manor and the third master, and Mei Yi will not be willing to leave."

After two years of getting along, Tang Meiyi has already regarded Yiliang's manor as her home, with her own men and sisters here, and she is a little unacceptable to her sudden departure.

"Go! That's your root. Remember that you will always be my Madam Mei!

But there is one thing, you must have the final say in this Gongmu Village, otherwise I will not let them move back to western Yunnan."

Yang Meng also thought about it carefully. This female spy regiment can only take one or two generations of time. This is a secret trick to control Yunnan. It is hard to say whether it is used or not! He is not afraid of being used by the Lisu people.

I don’t know how valuable the village leader is. If it is an empty shell, then it would be meaningless to rebuild the Gongmu Village.

"Our family has been the leader of Gongmu Village for generations. Since my father's death, the leader of the village belongs to my mother. After my mother's death, the elders in the village have always asked me to take over Gongmu Village. I just want to take revenge. Until now, Gongmu Village still has no leader.

Moreover, the elders in the village are also from my Tang family. If I don’t designate the candidate for the leader of the village, then when I’m gone, the village will be divided.”

The inheritance of Gongmu Village is a bit special, but there are all kinds of rules among the mountain people. Yang Meng doesn’t want to investigate this. As long as Tang Meiyi has the final say in Gongmu Village, he will rebuild Gongmu Village.

"Then let's rebuild Gongmu Village. You know Uncle Ding from western Yunnan. I'll ask someone to send him a message later, and you can ask your tribe members to prepare for relocation!

I also have another requirement: You should expand as much as possible Gongmu Village, the Lisu village in western Yunnan. I will ask Uncle Ding to stop supplying food. Do you know what to do?"

If you stop the Lisu people's food, you are not afraid that the Gongmu Village will not be large enough, but you are afraid that the scale will be too large and Tang Meiyi will not be able to control it.

"This is great. I will re-establish Gongmu Village under the name of Madam Meiyi. In the future, the leader of Gongmu Village must be a woman and must marry the Yang family."

This is the only thing that Tang Meiyi can repay Yang Meng. This answer was something Yang Meng didn't expect. Unexpectedly, Tang Meiyi, who was silent, was also scheming, and he was very satisfied with this answer.

Ding Taichen, who had just been slapped in the Women's School, was found again. This time, I will build a Lisu mountain city, a mountain city! This is not a copycat, the cost is another bottomless pit.

But if Mrs. Mei Yi really built a mountain city of Lisu, it would have a great effect on the Yang family. The Lisu people are not a small group. There are Lisu people distributed in Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Burma, India and Thailand.

Another one is the Lisu people half farming and half hunting, which is a very strong ethnic group. If they were not small, their influence in Yunnan would never be lower than that of mountain tribes like Yi Zhuang.

Building a Lisu mountain city in western Yunnan can not only curb the mountain people who have been recruited down the mountain all the time, but also build this mountain city into a place for gathering and exchanges for surrounding Lisu communities.

After carefully considering the pros and cons of building a mountain city, Ding Taichen turned a blind eye to the huge expenses. (To be continued.)
