It is easy to plan things but difficult to accomplish things. Yang Meng and others planned well, and they may not be able to drive Lin Laohu. It depends on Yang Meng's own ability. The old man could not get involved in this matter. A three-province copper salt ambassador discussed the matter of the Westernization Affairs with the Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. It was reported that it had too much impact on the old man and was not in line with the interests of the Yang family. Yang Meng could only stand up for this matter.

There is no admiral in Yunnan for the time being. Yang Meng, who is now the general of the two towns, is the most powerful general in Yunnan. The gate of the Governor's Office is now half open for Yang Meng. Just report it to the report.

Other officials in Yunnan who want to enter the Governor's Office must first post and then wait in the gatehouse. In order to enter the Governor's Office, it is normal for many officials to wait for ten days and half a month.

Due to health reasons in the past few months, most of the government affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are handled by Liu Cunren. Only Lin Zexu will personally check out some extremely important government affairs.

As the governor, he must take on the post of the governor. It is Lin Zexu's helpless move to him. If he has a governor, he will not need a governor. As long as Lin Zexu is still in power, he will not delegate his power.

"Star Dou is here, but is there a way to reorganize the three towns in eastern Yunnan?"

The sickly Lin Laohu's eyes were not as bright as when he first came to Yunnan. His originally clear eyes also seemed a little cloudy, and he was even weak when he spoke. It seemed that Lin Laohu was also a person who valued love!

"Sir, I encountered a difficult situation in the mark, and I don't know how to speak."

Lin Laohu was disappointed and didn't know if his plans could raise Lin Laohu's fighting spirit. Yang Meng pretended to be a fake and started to be cowardly.

"It's a difficult thing? There is still something that can stump you, Yang Laosan, in Yunnan? Why don't I believe it?"

Yang Meng acted in a squint manner and also made Lin Laohu laugh. The man leaned against the back of the chair, squinted his eyes and joked.

Although it was just a joke, Lin Laohu's affirmation of the strength of the Yang family. In Yunnan, besides his own governor, there is only the Yang family. Yang Shiqin is in charge of the copper salts of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces. He is the great God of Wealth, and Yang Laosan is in charge of thousands of green camp soldiers in the two towns in western Yunnan. This is a matter in Yunnan that cannot be difficult for the Yang family.

"The thing happened in Liangjiang."

"Liangjiang? Haha... This is a bit interesting. Let's talk about it. Why did Li Xingyuan get evil? If you can, I can help you. If you violate the law and make personal gain, you should go wherever you want!"

Li Xingyuan from Liangjiang is a young and powerful person, and this is the same as Li Xingyuan who was ten years ago. To be honest, Li Xingyuan is better than Lin Yuanfu in his career as an official.

At this time, Li Xingyuan came out to make things difficult for the Yang family, and the things inside became deeper. He stroked his fat face with both hands, and Lin Zexu's eyes were clearer than before.

Although the promise was made, there were limitations. The Yang family was a businessman, and most of the people who could make the business bigger were profiteers. Lin Zexu made the promise not for the Yang family, but for the people of Yunnan.

Although there have been a few rains this year, the new grain in Yunnan has not yet been harvested. It is the time when the Yang family is not in charge of the situation. It requires money to spend money on the Yang family as long as it is not illegal or illegal, it is reasonable to open a back door for the Yang family.

"Governor Li from Liangjiang detained sixty ships of foreign goods from the Yang family."

Lin Laohu was not energetic, and Yang Meng didn't dare to say it clearly at once. If Lin Laohu was excited and died, the Yang family would be in trouble.

"Foreign goods? Sixty ships? Are you walking on the Yangtze River? What a big deal in your Yang family!"

The Yang family had done business in Guangzhou, and Lin Zexu knew that the Pearl River Waterway was the Yang family's business road. Sichuan salt went directly to the Yangtze River Waterway in Sichuan, and Guangdong salt sometimes took the Yangtze River Waterway, but Li Xingyuan would not seize the salt ships of the court.

Instead of walking on the Pearl River waterway, the Yangtze River waterway. The 60 ships of the Yang family should be big ships, and the cargo of sixty ships is very valuable!

In recent years, the Yang family first prevented the epidemic and then Yunnan copper. Now they are still in Yunnan to provide disaster relief. The Yang family has brought a lot of silver to do such a big deal.

Lin Zexu still understood the business and profits between the Qing Dynasty and the foreigners. Even the Thirteen Boats of Cargo did not have such a large throughput, even the Thirteen Boats of that year?

Thinking of this, Lin Zexu's face gradually became sharp. What kind of business is the Yang family doing?

"Sir, this batch of goods was entrusted with 50 million kilograms of Yunnan copper, and it was brought by Mr. Pan Shicheng of Guangzhou."

"What? Private sale of Yunnan copper is still 50 million kilograms! Is your Yang family looking for death? That is the total production of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces in four or five years. Such a large amount is allowed to foreigners. Your Yang family is a little bit of a mess, but it is involved in countless officials in Yunnan!

How can you act so recklessly?"

When Lin Zexu heard that the Yang family had mortgaged 50 million jin of Yunnan copper, his eyes were so angry that the Yang family was too brave. Now that Li Xingyuan has caught her, the Yunnan copper has regained its strength, and it will disappear if it is not done well.

"Sir, let's listen to the explanation of the bid. At the beginning of the year, I went to Guangzhou for a transaction and met Lord Pan from Guangzhou. At that time, he happened to be building a shipyard in Guangzhou, so I followed him to watch the fun.

Who would have thought that he met a foreigner who was proficient in mining there. At that time, the Yang family took over copper salt from the three provinces and had a lot of burden on him. When he heard that the Western mines were worth hundreds of people, he became interested in it.

After some bargaining, I ordered sixty ships of Western machinery in a daze. Now I think about it, but the matter has been done, and it is difficult to get rid of the mark now."

After throwing the bait with a vague bait, Lin Laohu was indeed caught. The anger on his face faded quickly, his eyes flashed, obviously he was thinking about the gains and losses of things in his mind.

"Western tools are good, but this is a way to restore Yunnan copper, but how much do you know about Western machinery?

If it is not used after it is replaced, how good is it for Yunnan copper?"

Lin Zexu could accept the method of foreigners, but many people tried it back then. Just a steamer, it defeated countless talents from the Qing Dynasty. He was not very optimistic about Yang Laosan and Lin Zexu.

"I don't understand the price. But some people understand. In order to restore Yunnan copper, I did something I shouldn't have done before."

"What's the matter?"

Having said that, Lin Zexu didn't want to guess anymore, so he asked directly, "Yang Laosan is too brave and has a wild path."

"The following is the standard, using missionary as bait, a group of Western missionaries were captured. Now they are locked up in Minghu Academy to translate books! Is this the mining technology they sorted out, or the method of using foreign devils' machinery."

Yang Meng pulled out a thin thread-bound book from his sleeve. This is the way Ge Shiyang designed for Yunnan copper factory and salt farm in mining.

"Catch foreigners? Yang Meng, you are bold! If you don't do this well, you will have to fight the country. Although the court is not afraid of Western ghosts, after the war begins, the situation in the southeast will inevitably be corrupt. You are such a bastard to ruin the country!"

Why did the Boxer Battle come? Another thing that prohibits smoking and bans business is to kill foreigners. Yang Laosan is good, and he directly abducted foreign missionaries. If this matter is missed, the troubles in Yunnan will become troubles in the court.

Lin Zexu angrily scolded Yang Meng, but he did not forget to look at the book in his hand. The book could not be closed as soon as he opened it. In a short while, Lin Zexu sank into the world of books.

The fact that Yang Meng imprisoned foreigners was also thrown away by Lin Zexu. Although Lin Laohu was quite old, his eyesight and brainpower were pretty good. He read a booklet worth dozens of pages twice in more than an hour.

"Oh... Not bad! It's easy to understand. There are some tricks. According to the methods in the book, not only can Yunnan copper be restored, but Yunnan salt can also be self-sufficient in the future. In this way, Yunnan's finances will be greatly strengthened, and there is no need for cooperation between provinces. It's good!

Have you tried all these methods?"

There is a priority. After reading the booklet, Lin Zexu saw the hope of the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, but he only accused a few foreign devils. Compared with the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, this matter was just a trivial matter.

"The ships are all locked in Liangjiang, and there is no machinery, how can I try?"

"I have already agreed to this matter, so I can even get the sixty ships of cargo to Yunnan, but how likely do you have to win this matter?"

"The chances of winning are not worth mentioning. Our Yang family is a businessman, and the one who chases is profitable. This is no different from gambling. If you bet, you will make a fortune, but if you bet, you will lose your fortune.

If this method works well, we will make a return to the Yunnan copper that pays off the debt within four or five years. If the method of cooking salt is easy to use, we can make a return in two or three years."

In the business of business, the matter of Li Xingyuan seizing the cargo ship is no longer a matter of Li Xingyuan and the Yang family, but a transaction between the Yang family and the court. The court gave up some power and the Yang family regained the Yunnan copper.

Whether the transaction is successful depends mainly on interests. Now Lin Laohu represents the court. Lin Laohu nodded, there will be no major problems in the court. This matter looks like the Yang family colluding with Lin Zexu and competing with the governor of Liangjiang Li Xingyuan in the officialdom. In fact, the most fundamental thing is still in the court.

If the interests are broken down, then this matter can be done. If the rules are broken down, everyone will be in trouble.

"This is a big deal, let me think about it, you can sit down too!"

To use foreigners' things to hold a bronze class in Yunnan, it is best to hide it from it, otherwise the Qingliu people will have great resistance, and it is also a prerequisite to hide it from the court officials and the emperor. Lin Zexu now estimates the attitude of the emperor.

"Xingdou, tell me what happened that your Yang family had a grudge against Li Xingyuan."

Lin Zexu hasn't figured out whether this matter can be hidden. Li Xingyuan is also the key. Now that the ship has been detained, Li Xingyuan has not yet attacked. It seems that the article here is quite small!

Yang Meng is now a signal light. In order to allow Lin Laohu to guess Li Xingyuan’s intention, before coming, Yang Meng, Wei Wu and Xu Ziwei also planned some remarks.

"Oh... there is still something to do about this."

After listening to what Yang Laosan told me, the Li Yang family's grudges were made, and Lin Zexu also found Li Xingyuan's pulse.

After saying this, Lin Zexu fell into deep thought again. First of all, the Yang family, the starting point of the Yang family. Now Lin Zexu can basically see clearly. It seems that Pan Shicheng from Guangzhou has played a significant role in this matter.

The Yang family was tempted to buy a large number of Western machinery. It seemed that the mortgaged Yunnan copper was mostly Pan Shicheng, which was the method of raising money for the shipyard. Fortunately, Yang Laosan was a non-rule person and knew to capture a few foreigners to learn things.

Pan Shicheng drew a big cake for the Yang family, and the Yang family planned to make huge profits from copper salt in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, and obediently got into Pan Shicheng's trap. According to these analysis, the Yang family's contact with the Westernization Affairs was a passive move.

Pan Shicheng built a shipyard in Guangzhou and obviously wanted to win a holy family. The Western ship he imitated before was shelved by the court, and it seems that he was unwilling to accept it!

Pan Shicheng's shipyard, Yang's three provinces of copper salt, and Li Xingyuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, Liangjiang, Sichuan, and the seven provinces who can be regarded as ally, should he be the last to promote the Qing Dynasty?

The Yang family in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces ranged from salt and copper, copper and iron; Pan Shicheng in Guangdong and Guangxi, including ships, muskets and cannons; and Li Xingyuan from Liangjiang supported money and grain; Yang Laosan actually set up a game for himself in order to make profits, and Lin Laohu also decided to enter the game for the sake of the Qing Dynasty.

The Yang family and Pan Shicheng each acted independently, and he and Li Xingyuan supported each other. The officials and businessmen worked together to promote the Westernization Affairs. When the Qingliu people were not aware of it, they would make great achievements and block their mouths. Then... (To be continued...)
