Chapter 181 Supervising the Chinese Army Lieutenant General Yang

"What do I promise you, the chief officer of the Central Army? If you replace the general with the deputy general, not only will your official position be increased, but your authority will also be quite small."

Seeing that Yang Meng didn't say anything, Lin Zexu smiled slightly and approved the position of deputy general who was a second-rank.

Although the Super League is also a green camp, the deputy general of the Super League is the general officer of the Super League! Lin Zexu opened his mouth and promised such an official position, obviously he wanted to use the Yang family's staff as his backing.

"The Central Army Supervisor? It sounds good, how much control is it? The Third Master doesn't want to be controlled all day long!"

Supervisor? Lin Zexu made a good plan, so did his old man, so why did he hand over his braided braids?

However, taking over the governor's bidding from the Governor's Office seems to be a good deal, so the entire Governor's Office is in his own hands.

Now the position of governor of Yunnan is still empty. Super Biao, Fu Biao is a soldier in a battalion. Taking the opportunity to expand another army outside the new army is also a good choice.

"Bastard! How do you talk to Lord Lin? Third Master, it's fine to call him in front of others! Are you tired of being stubborn when you come to the house?

Brother Lin, it’s impossible! The rank of Mr. He, Mr. Xu, was asked to let the third brother play the role of the general. You don’t know that in order to prevent the epidemic, just because the newly recruited personnel were not in charge, he set up a criminal platform in the military camp and killed more than 100 people a day. You can get him a commander to the Central Army. In this huge Yunnan, who can restrain this naughty boy?”

Yang Shiqin didn't expect Lin Zexu to be able to beat a snake and stick. He wanted to make some polite things, but never thought of sending the third brother in. The major affairs in Yunnan were all under the charge of his own third brother. After taking on the responsibilities of the bid, he was afraid of delaying the main business!

"Haha... It's okay! You should use heavy sanctions in troubled times, and Geng Weng will use people appropriately! I am also optimistic about Xingdou's recklessness. If you want to cleanse the decline in Yunnan, you must be a powerful general like Xingdou!

Besides, if the stars are in the Supervisor, I can also give you a point at any time. Then I will give you a son who is a versatile talent in civil and military affairs."

The major officials of the Qing Dynasty often had letters and exchanges. He Changling was a diligent official and had letters and exchanges with Lin Zexu. He also briefly mentioned the Yang family before. Otherwise, Lin Zexu, a first-rank rank in the dynasty, would have had too close relationship with the Yang family?

"Will you listen to me in Yunnan's Supervisors?"

The old man had to give him a reminder: taking over the commander's bid is not a bad thing, but it has a lot of benefits. Since Lin Zexu is willing to take the same boat with the Yang family, it is no big deal to do his own efforts under him.

"That's right! I heard that you donated a Minghu Academy in Yiliang. Why is that?"

Lin Zexu also did his homework for the Yang family. He touched all the things that Yang family had on the surface, but there were still many doubts about Minghu Academy.

It would be fine if the Minghu Academy was built by Yang Shiqin! It would be fine if it was just a third reckless man in the Yang family, and it would be worthwhile to donate to build the Academy.

"Just make money!"

Lin Zexu's question was also under the calculations of Xu Ziwei and others. Yang Meng, who was prepared, naturally answered it smoothly.

"Make money? What's the point? You built this academy and encircled a lot of mountains, forests and fields, and spent a lot of money, right? The students who moved in were also responsible for food, accommodation and money, and they also had to pay a lot of money a year, right? Where can I make this money? In my opinion, it's almost the same to lose money!"

Lin Zexu was also confused when he heard Yang Meng’s explanation. Making money? Could it be that the third son of the Yang family was playing tricks on him?

"Accounting master, do you have to read? You can hire a good man, hundreds or thousands of taels of silver a year, and you can support one by yourself. In addition to studying, you can also save a few hundred taels of silver a year. Once you go in and out, a person can save hundreds of taels of silver a year.

I have large fertile land in Yiliang, and my farmland in western Yunnan. It is not possible to rely on farmers and tenants alone. Farm tools must be made? You have to see the price of planting anything, right? You have to teach me how to plant it? Build a college and these people will be there.

My old man now has copper and salt in charge. If we want to make money from it, in addition to knowing how to settle accounts, we also have to produce more. These are not enough without scholars.

Look at what I said, which one is less than reading and literacy? How much money is spent on building a college? When I counted the money, you were still stupid and watching my jokes!

What is the purpose of reading? Reading is to earn money!”

Yang Meng said, finding a seat to do it. After saying that, he looked at Governor Lin with a look of a fool. This can be regarded as a disguised way to give Lin Laohu some of the Yang family's foundation!

"Well……"

After hearing this, Lin Zexu was also choked. The truth is simple! The Westernization Affairs that he had been exploring for nearly ten years was made by a reckless man. This has to be said to be a satire.

Studying is for making money, which sounds a bit unruly, but this is also the true meaning of the Westernization Movement!

The accountant, promote agricultural tools, improve mining and smelting, and push them out? Build guns, cannons, and ships, these are not something that illiterate craftsmen can do. Only those who can understand the text and the truth can know the truth and the reason can lead the way.

Unexpectedly, a illiterate man could give him such a great inspiration. His disgust towards Yang Meng was also suddenly beaten by a huge surprise.

"A good study is to make money. Xingdou. After building Minghu Academy, how much money did you make?"

Yang Meng opened a skylight for Lin Zexu in just one sentence, but it is not easy to do Westernization. Can the Yang family become the first to test the waters?

The matter of Yunnan Tong Recovery is very important. I think there are some things that can be used in Yunnan with the banner of Yunnan Tong Recovery. It took nearly two months to return to Beijing. In addition to gaining some benefits from the appointment and removal of officials, Lin Zexu also heard some truth from the emperor.

In the Battle of Gengzi, the Eight Banners were decayed and the Green Camp was in a slackened. The battle that should have won was broken into a mess by corrupt officials and some incompetent people. The emperor also had the idea of ​​innovation in his heart, but the timing was wrong, and the emperor had no chance to innovate.

The Emperor was very concerned about the re-emergence of Yunnan copper. If the re-emergence of Yunnan copper was successful, the court would have a model. The re-emergence of Yunnan copper was swept across the entire Qing Dynasty officialdom with swords and spears, and the people were a peaceful and prosperous Qing Dynasty. On this point, Lin Zexu and Emperor Daoguang still had a certain understanding.

In Lin Zexu's heart, carrying out the Westernization Movement has always been a shortcut for the prosperity and strength of the Qing Dynasty. The threats of foreigners at sea are not very great. The greatest threat to the Qing Dynasty is Eros. When he was in the northwest, Lin Zexu saw the viciousness of Eros.

The tiger is looking at the three eastern provinces and coveting the northwest border. This is the biggest concern of the Qing Dynasty. It is the idea that Lin Zexu buried deep in his heart.

I thought this trip to Yunnan would be unpredictable, but I didn’t expect that I could hear such good news when I first came, and Lin Zexu became more and more interested in Yang Meng.

"How much money did I make? I really don't know this, but my people in Yiliang don't have to spend the old man's money. My expenses on food, clothing, housing and transportation are enough anyway.

Now, it’s time for this academy to make a fortune by increasing the output of copper salt!”

Seeing Lin Zexu looking at him with his eyes straight, Yang Meng knew that Lin Laohu had an idea in his mind. He asked for the surname and picked out the words of reforming Tongyan.

“How to increase copper salt production?”

This topic is also what Lin Zexu is concerned about, but how to lead the Yang family to foreigners, I have to carefully say this. No matter how much I say it, I am a minister of the court. Some things cannot be done explicitly, and some things cannot be said explicitly.

"This is simple. If you kill the useless copper and salt officials in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, and confiscate their wealth, you can make a fortune, and the other is that you lack these bastards. With our own manpower, the output of copper and salt will increase a lot.

Another thing is to learn how to learn from other provinces. This copper factory uses private methods to make salt from Sichuan, and I have already made these things happen. I can use them in the academy to use these in a short time."

Recklessness and delicacy were just rightly integrated into Yang Meng. When talking about killing corrupt officials and redundant officials, Lin Zexu frowned when he heard it, but when talking about increasing the output of copper salt, he smiled.

Yang Meng did this to dispel Lin Zexu's vigilance. It seemed that some things were done by the third son of the Yang family. I heard that he used to be a foolish person who was enlightened by the master in the mountains, so this made him much better.

This roughness is his own, and his delicateness is enlightened by the master. Can Yang Meng become his own pawn in Yunnan?

"Brother Yang, has the Yunnan copper from last year started to be released?"

Lin Zexu changed his mind and Yang Meng knew that the opera meat was coming. It seems that Lin Laohu also wanted to use the matter of releasing Yunnan copper to do something!

Before the old man could speak, Yang Meng suddenly inserted it. Now it was the time to fight, so don’t let the old man miss it anymore.

"Hey... I know this, it's not because of inconvenience in transshipment. Last year, the copper courses in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces were pretty good. The copper courses were nearly 10 million kilograms of copper. The cost of entering the capital was around 60 million kilograms. However, the water transportation cost was quite large. When the capital was released, it would be great if there was five million kilograms left."

"A million pounds become five million pounds. How can I calculate the calculation? Could it be that the five million pounds are all expended on the road?"

"That's right! Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces are many mountains, and copper factories are mostly in the mountains. A load of fine copper is 100 kilograms. In addition to the cost of mining and smelting, this load of fine copper is more than 9 taels of silver. The horse gang will transport it to the Yanjin passage. At least three or four taels of silver will be spent. Then load the ship in Yanjin, bamboo baskets for copper, and the boatmen along the way will have to pay three or four taels of rice. This Yunnan copper is solved into the capital, and tens of millions of kilograms will turn into five million. What's so strange about it?"

Yang Meng is talking about the truth. Whether in the past or now, the production and transportation of copper factories in various places are a very expensive project. How to reduce these costs is also something that Ge Shiyang and others are studying in Xishan Academy.

But the solution is nothing more than trains, ships, and these Western things. However, these things cannot be built well for a while, so Yang Meng has a compromise solution to build roads!

Build a wide road and use Western four-wheeled carriages to transport minerals and cargo from all over the place. This is the best way to do it before the railway and ship are built.

"Okay! OK!!! What a Yang family's third brother, Yang Xingdou, Zhang Fei, who is thick and thin! Brother Yang, your third brother is a good piece of material, I have recognized this **."

Lin Zexu pulled the topic and directly took Yang Meng as the **. He had more plans in it. When the opportunity came, he would slowly come into contact with the Westernization Affairs Office and use a silent method to moisten things and quietly change the Yang family's path. Without having to come forward by himself, the Yang family could travel to the Westernization Affairs Office for the Qing Dynasty.

"I'm taking me as **? Reading and reading to recognize words? You'd better forget it! You can get promoted and get rich, but reading to recognize words? I don't have that time!"

It is still acceptable to be the Central Army who is the governor, but it is impossible for Yang Meng to be the captain of Lin Zexu. He has a beautiful little book boy Wei Zhiqing, so why bother to suffer with this old man?

"A bastard! You don't know how to be a rebellious son. You can be the master of Lord Lin? Come and worship tea and become a disciple!"
