Official property seems to be of little value, and the court makes very little profits from it. However, for local officials, official property is the capital for governance. Without the income from official property, the county government and government offices cannot afford so many clerks and runners. Sai Shanga and the court do not have an accurate understanding of official property. Most of those who know the foundation of official property are smart. At this time, suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellion is a major issue. If you fools come out, it would be a question of seeking death.

The Yang family was quite rude about the embezzlement of official property. With Sai Shang's official documents, this was even more so. For ordinary county officials, if they were killed and asked for someone to replace them, they would be a deadly Yan Luo if the official of the government did not know the current affairs and a letter would be a deadly Yan.

Based on the personnel trained by Xishan Academy, Yang Meng's people took only two months to control the county-level official offices in Guangxi. The imperial power did not fall below the county. If the parents of a county were controlled by the local government, they would control the local government and control the parents of a county, and would be able to coerce the prefecture.

Silently, with blood, local affairs in Guangxi were completely in the hands of the Yang family.

Because of the Taiping Army, things are easy to do in Guangxi, but Guangdong is different. There are so many officials in Guangdong’s territory. Many people are not only landlords but also big businesses. Compared with Guangxi, the atmosphere here is much more open, and it is difficult to control Guangdong!

But with Sai Shang's oral decree, it would not be very difficult. Although you cannot control Guangdong at once, Yang Meng can suppress many potential enemies through Sai Shang's oral decree.

There was an accident in Guangxi, and Guangdong was not as good as that. Guangdong was Hong Xiuquan's hometown. The place where the rebellion rose. This is the reason. Not to mention a letter from Hong Xiuquan, it was even a serious crime of rebellion that had a connection with Hong Xiuquan.

With Pan Shicheng, the governor of Guangdong, the Yang family also did a very easy job in persecuting people. Although it affected many innocent people, Yang Meng's footsteps of falsely accusing high-ranking officials of a large family did not relax for a moment.

The camps belonging to both sides are different. The interests of both sides are different, which is the reason for the war. If you kill these people earlier, you will have less resistance in the future.

Although Guangdong is the birthplace of the rebellion and the Taiping Army has only appeared on the border between Guangdong and Guangxi, the Taiping Army has spread much larger and more ruthlessly in Guangdong than Guangxi.

The source of this matter is Yang Meng. No matter how broad the language in Guangdong is, at this time, as long as it is related to the deficit, it is impossible to explain the guilt and responsibilities.

The news that the rebellion was caused by disaster in Guangdong reached the court. Although there was no chaos in Guangdong, the rebellion was all big investors, which was much more dangerous than Guangxi.

While the court strictly ordered Sai Shanga to suppress the bandits, the Guangdong and Guangxi government agencies increased their efforts to crack down on rebellion. The so-called heaven and man's wishes were not the same. With the banner of the court, the Yang and Pan families joined forces to carry out a major purge on Guangdong.

Profit is of course. The most important thing is to wipe out a large number of potential enemies and have the ability to recruit soldiers from local areas. As Yang Meng imagined, after this great cleaning of Guangdong and Guangxi, only three or two big cats were left.

When the matter started, people might not know who was driving behind it, but with the development of the matter and some news from the fifteen business alliances, many local gentry big players had no choice but to choose to take the team.

At this time, it was useless to ask the court. The Yang Pan family was vicious and played the cards of rebellion. This matter was a death. Many people who were not easy to kill Yang Meng could only helplessly join the Yang Pan family's business names. This was in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the only way to protect some family background.

The letters filled with letters as letters also came to Yang Meng's hands. The dozens of words of rebuttals looked light and light, but each one involved dozens or hundreds of people, tens of thousands or millions of household resources. As long as the letters came to the court, these people would have no way to die.

The government was ruined, and Yang Pan's two families had only one choice. If you look for the government, you have to deal with Fa Ni. This is the serious crime of raiding the family. Looking for Yang Pan, you only sacrificed the land and part of your property. No one can understand this. Yang Meng took advantage of the general trend brought by the Taiping Army and easily swept over 30% of the big families in Guangdong and Guangxi. As for those 70%, they either became a dead ghost or were well-informed and ran away.

Yang Meng did a lot of work underground, but for the upper class, for Sai Shanga and the court, the place became more and more peaceful, and there was no worries. As long as the government affairs were not involved in money and food, there would be no discount below.

Although there were more people questioning the exchange of official property and grain, the court, who saw the effectiveness, regarded the truth of these people as lies of spreading rumors. Yang Pan did not need to stand up and defy the rumors, and the court directly handled the matter.

Things were progressing extremely smoothly, but Yang Meng couldn't let go of his heart. Things went too far, which often meant that disaster was coming.

After thinking about it, Yang Meng's only disaster was the Taiping Army. Now that the Taiping Army is destroyed, he will lose the north and let the Taiping Army advance eastward, Yang Meng has the opportunity to annex the northwest. Indulge and exterminate, something that is easy to weigh, but is difficult for Yang Meng. Faced with the Taiping Army, Yang Meng always has an embarrassment that neither fighting nor letting go.

Although Yang Meng had already made a choice based on his interests, the harm of the Taiping Army has always lingered in Yang Meng's heart. He would not care too much about other people's things, but his own things are also treasures!

Just when Yang Meng was hesitating and unable to walk, Gu Yayue, who had been out for more than two months, came back. When we met on the first day of the New Year, Yang Meng saw a sense of belonging in Gu Yayue's eyes. The expression hidden in his eyes may be affection, perhaps expectation, or life expectancy, but no matter what, this girl will be able to fiddle with in the future.

"Yeah! Not bad, this face is a little dark, but it is much stronger, which is gratifying!"

Yang Meng's words seemed to be not a woman, but Gu Yayue smiled and leaned openly against Yang Meng's side after hearing this.

"How is it? What Yang San does now can make the girl's eyes see?"

Yang Meng hugged Gu Yayue slightly and let go. This is the way of the world. He showed too much intimacy in public. He only let people look at Gu Yayue. A little gesture is enough.

"The Third Master is in love! He is doing his job as the King of Hell. But what he brings to the people is peace and prosperity. He is a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Yayue misunderstood the Third Master before."

In the Yang family’s Yiliang Manor, I can’t see what suffering is, nor what support is. When I get to the bottom, I compare the people of Guangxi and the people of Guangxi in the Yang family’s manor. The result is still very clear.

Gu Yayue only recognized the ups and downs, and her fate was tragic. Unexpectedly, after comparing, she was a man who was soaked in a honey jar. Some of the people below had eaten human flesh, and some had exchanged their children and aunts for food. In the famine, chastity also became something that could be trampled at will. A bowl of rice can be exchanged for too many things in Guangxi.

I am just a bowl of good rice. Guangxi is not poor because of the Taiping Army. But it also has a great relationship with the Taiping Army. The famine in the past few years was a natural disaster, and the military chaos in the past two years was **.

God opened his eyes, but this land is incredible. When the army passes through the border, there is no one left. Avoiding wars has become the most common thing that the people do.

Yang Meng's truth is half out of intelligence, and the other half is his own speculation. In the villages in Guangxi, Yang Meng just stopped and did not go deep. Moreover, most of the Yang Meng's journeys were in a wealthy area near the city, and the people did not live so miserable.

Gu Yayue and her party, but according to Yang Meng's words, they go to the worst places and the best places. The way they come is the best place, and Cen Yuying also pays attention to the guidance of the way.

The worst part can only be described as a terrible sight. The people are thin and skinny, which is the most intuitive. They often see begging people like ghosts on the road.

Along the way, Gu Yayue and his group picked up hundreds of begging people just by picking up these begging people. If Gu Yayue and his group were not available, these people would become a corpse on the begging road.

Saving people to live is that simple. A little bit of food is a bit like water, and the face is decayed. The people who are wandering on the line of life and death immediately turn around. Gu Yayue can only do a few hundred things. When she heard that the Yang family's village was hosting these people, the girl realized the light behind the darkness.

"I can't talk about the misunderstanding. I'm not a good person at all. I've done too many evil things that you don't know. I can't remember them clearly. But it's better if I can't remember them clearly. I just pretend that I haven't done it before.

How about it, are you willing to follow me?"

This is the root cause of Yang Meng's evil deeds. It is easy to do evil, but it is difficult to find a support. When Yang Meng is given such a support in troubled times, he can be upright and openly done if he has sufficient reasons for doing evil.

"willing!"

"Will you not be quarrel with me again?"

"Won't!"

"Then serve me!"

"don't want!"

Who says that gentleness can capture people's hearts? In fact, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, the best way is to meet their preferences. Gu Yayue, this girl, thinks that she has read a few poems about worrying about the country and the people, which is really worrying about the country and the people, but there is still a long way to go between speaking and doing!

There is still a long distance between doing things or not. If you do all the evil things, you will not worry about the country and the people? There is no such thing.

He took Gu Yayue into the bamboo building where he lived. He never thought that this little girl said something very embarrassing.

"The Third Master is extremely useless when he goes and moves. Many people in this bamboo building cannot live in it!"

"Uh... this is considered a privilege, right? If I live in a poor place and eat poorly, after I die of illness, the situation in the southwest will be in vain!"

"That's right!"

"That's a big deal! I have earned all these money from hard work. If you want to live better, then I will work hard. Now I just need them to starve to death. I have to rely on them and rely on me. I am afraid there will be no way to live in this life!"

Self-improvement is really strong. To be honest, if Yang Meng disperses his wealth, everyone in the five provinces will be a small landlord, but the money that has been free will not belong to him. Good days will be with his own hands to work hard.

"Why?"

Gu Yayue, this girl, was disagreeing again. She now feels that the Yang family should help these people because they are in a big way.

"No reason! The Yang family was created by me. I have been kind and righteous when I don't die. I want to live a good life and make money by myself. I depend on me. I see how they starve to death.

Besides, there are 40 million people across the country, at least 20 million people cannot eat enough, 20 million! One pound of grain per person a day is 20 million pounds. Once the grain is 100 pounds, one tael of silver, do you think, how much money is this?"

"Two million taels!"

"Two million taels a day, how much does it cost in a year? Who has that much money?"

The accounts are not clear, Yang Meng threw out a number and directly threw back the words under Gu Yayue. The money is never enough for the country. It is really unrealistic to want to help the country with one person!

When they arrived in the bamboo building, the two of them talked about the situation outside. The reality was more cruel than Yang Meng's speculation. Yang Meng could only sigh and drank a few cups of old wine. Although he said he didn't want it, Gu Yayue did the second time and really served Yang Meng once.
