Chapter Fifty-One

Yang Meng sat in the warehouse without sleeping all night, thinking about the Qing soldiers in Yunnan, the farmers and tenants in Yiliang, and the great powers of various countries who were doing business with guns. He was full of worry.

It is not about worrying about the country and the people, but about the future of the Yang family. Yunyan makes money and can make a lot of money, but it is useless to have money alone. The force is disproportionate to the wealth you have, which can only bring disaster.

If you are poor, you have to rob it if you have strong force; if you have rich, you have to be robed if you have no force; if you are half-poor but not rich, you can make up your life with force. When you see the poor, you will most likely join the robbery ranks.

The Qing Dynasty was the target of plundering by the great powers, and the Yang family was the target of plundering by the Qing Dynasty. Once the Yang family reached a certain level and did not have corresponding force protection, it would be a fat Yang.

Yang Meng did not sleep all night, which also made the old man a little worried. He called the boss who had just woken up, and the Yang family's father and son gathered in the warehouse.

"Lao San, what's wrong with you? What's the best thing about these things? Can you keep you from sleeping all night?"

The old man was worried and didn't say anything, so the eldest son Yang Yong became the old man's phony.

"Yang Family!"

Yang Meng's answer was simple, and Yang Shiqin also understood it. The third brother's business was too profitable and he was afraid that the news would leave, so the Yang family would become the fat sheep coveted by everyone.

"Yang family? What's wrong with our family? Who else in Yunnan dares to blow up the thorns?"

The boss Yang Yong is very confident about the strength of the Yang family. His family has a million yuan in cash and he has thousands of dollars. If you click a little bit on the Yunnan merchant, who has such strength?

"Shortsighted!"

The eldest brother Yang Yong is his own business path. Yang Meng speaks a little bit, but the old man Yang Shiqin is different. The eldest brother is almost gone to the business gang, and he is a little ignorant of the world.

"Bastard! The Yang family is not the Yang family of the Qing Dynasty. If you face the court, my Yang family will have a chance of winning? You only know how to make money and play with women? Where did you have a brain? Did you fall into a woman's crotch?"

Yang Shiqin's words were a bit harsh. The boss of the Yang family was very capable. At the age of 25, he could open up business paths by himself. The Qing merchants have become talents several times.

"Dad! We don't rebel, how could the court deal with us? Besides, wasn't you telling me to have more children and raise more? This has become mine!"

Boss Yang couldn't hold back his face when he was scolded, and he replied with his neck in his mouth.

"The mud cannot be supported on the wall. Fortunately, the Yang family did not leave it to you. If the Yang family cannot live your generation, they will lose!"

Seeing the boss refuting, Yang Shiqin was even more angry. The merchants didn’t just look at whether you could do business. How many big and rich merchants were there in the Qing Dynasty? How many merchants could be really passed on to future generations? The merchants without scheming and means are just silver cellars of the court! If the court doesn’t take you, corrupt officials will take you.

"Brother, do you think I can't do this business?"

The old man and the eldest brother Qiangqiang are not good enough to watch the show themselves, so Yang Meng can only come out to smooth things over.

"As long as it is not sold to the Qing people, how can we not do it? Foreigners sell opium to our Qing people?"

As a businessman, Yang Yong is a good businessman, and his business methods are good. He can live well in the peaceful and prosperous times. However, in the Qing Dynasty, the court is corrupt, the ministers are greedy, the people are suffering, and the border guards are bad. The eldest brother Yang Yong lives in such an era and can only be a tragic figure after making a fortune.

"I don't think I can do it! My clouds are more powerful than opium. Few people can quit. When the foreigners come back, how can they not cause trouble for us?"

Yang Meng could not speak like the old man, and could only talk indirectly against the elder brother's face.

"Yunnan lives in the southwest, and foreigners have to cross the threshold of the Qing court when they are in trouble."

When the old man Yang Shiqin was saying this, he stomped his feet and Yang Meng smiled helplessly. His elder brother is really anxious!

"I forgot that you didn't agree with this Yunyan business at that time. Did I say to you? Rebellion! My steps have already taken, and half of Yiliang belong to the Yang family. After a year and a half, Yiliang will no longer be named Aisin Gioro. He must be surnamed Yang!

The Qing Dynasty? The foreign devils can only kill a few broken ships, and they can’t find the North. If you expect the Qing Dynasty, it’s better to hang yourself. Foreigners are the most greedy. They can do opium trading, and are there any money they don’t want to make?

In the Qing Dynasty, as a businessman, you not only need to know the means of merchants, but also have the force that matches him. It is so strong that others are afraid of you that he can be a big businessman and a wealthy businessman! Look at these things behind me.

Foreign cloth, foreign noodles will make the people live even harder. Foreign guns and foreign cannons will rob the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is not far from being finished, but our Yang family cannot follow the Qing Dynasty. We not only want to dominate Yunnan, but also shock the foreign devils. If they suffer a blood loss, they can only endure it."

When Yang Meng talked about the rebellion, Yang Yong also recalled that the third brother and the old man had a little big heart. He had been doing business all year round and was most familiar with Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi. Although the Qing court could not do anything, the following is different!

Due to the world, bandits are rampant in various places, and the largest group is the Qing army. In order to protect the landlords and merchants in various places, they are all building their own group training. Even if they don’t build group training, there are also wealthy slaves and patriarchs at home. These people are also very powerful together.

The attack on the foreigners and the Qing Dynasty could not be achieved, but there was still a way to deal with the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty. If the Yang family did not raise any trouble, they would have to be killed for a few days.

"Rebellion! It will definitely not happen. Once we do it, we will become the target of public criticism. The entire Qing Dynasty attacks, and there is no way out for us!"

As soon as Yang Yong said this, the old man, who was tense and tight, showed a hint of relief. This boss has not yet reached the house, and it is not a rescued thing.

"This is a good thing. We say it's a rebellion, but we won't really raise an uprising. Do you know if you have a military force?"

If the boss hadn't said what he said just now, Yang Shiqin wouldn't have given him a clear idea.

"Brother, it's just the old man's words. We don't do things openly, but secretly control Yunnan, so that the court is afraid of us and indulges us, but dare not deal with us. The situation in Yunnan is not good. After controlling Yiliang, our backyard will be stable. As for what to do in the future, we have to look at it slowly.

The most important thing now is military preparations. You handle the things of foreigners. All the swords are steel knives. The power of a single musket is not very good, but once it is formed into an army, it is a weapon for killing people.

The bird guns of the Qing Dynasty were not of quality, but the accuracy was not good, and the range was not long, so they could only be slaughtered against foreign guns. That cannon, have you and the old man seen a battle between Humen in Guangzhou, and the Qing Dynasty was the opponent?

Good guns, strong guns, sharp knife, and foreigners do have a good trick. What should we do?

Stealing! Those who practice boxing know what stealing is, we and foreign devils also need this set. Learn other people's skills and use their machines. First learn to leave from foreign devils, and then find a way to run by themselves.

I read the things in the warehouse. We have to learn a lot. The first step is to build an iron plant. We have to invite these technology, equipment, and craftsmen. Foreigners are here to do business. As long as there is a profit, there will always be someone who is willing to sell them.

This iron factory is the key, and it is indispensable for machinery, equipment, swords, guns and cannons. Next time you go to Guangzhou, you will have to specifically search for these things. As long as it is technology, as long as there are machines, whether it is good or bad, or whether it is worth it, it must be brought back.

In the next transaction, we will ship in large quantities. We don’t want gold, silver and treasures. As long as the foreign devils are fresh, it doesn’t matter if they spend money. Our transaction is almost ineffective. How much is given to foreign devils now? In the future, they will have to kneel outside the door and send it back to us."

Yang Meng was like pouring beans on the bamboo tube, saying everything he thought last night, and back to chaos, Qing soldiers and foreign devils, these things seemed to be far away, but once there was something wrong, it would be a big deal. It would be too late to prepare!

"Third brother, you speak lightly and don't know how difficult it is to escape the merchant gang. What you say is hard to see in Guangzhou, and it is even more difficult to transport it to Yunnan!

Foreign guns and foreign knives are all small items. If you put them in a box and spend some money, it is not difficult to transport them to Yunnan, but the machine you mentioned is that foreigners think of Yunnan, and there is no way for me to do so.

The Qing Dynasty now traded in the five ports, including Guangzhou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai. Only the foreigners in Guangzhou are the strongest and the weakest in the imperial court, which gives us the opportunity to secretly trade with foreigners.

It’s a piece of cake and a piece of work. You are both technical and machine-oriented. You will definitely get outsiders’ attention. Once it is passed to the court, we will be a murderer of affair with foreigners.

Besides, we have hidden small objects in the past, and it is not easy to spend a lot of money on objects. The court even strictly prohibited foreigners from entering the inland. These foreigners were eye-catching. If there was such a long journey from Guangzhou to Yunnan, trouble would come if there was a long journey.

It is true that foreigners are willing to do business, but our Qing Dynasty is not willing! Beware of the situation everywhere and block everywhere. We have been walking for a long time and are familiar with the information on the checkpoints. Only then can the goods come back smoothly. Once there are too many times, there will inevitably be an omission.

Once the checkouts everywhere, we know that our horse gang is transporting foreign goods, and we may have to search for the money. The things you mentioned cannot be transported in at all!"

Yang Yong also knew his own difficulties. He wanted to catch your braids and extort money from all over the place. Now you take the initiative to send them to him, and you may lose both money.

"Boss, isn't Annan's front line possible?"

As the helmsman of the Yang family, Yang Shiqin naturally has a special sense of smell about the business path.

"No! At least it's not possible now. Annan is now the world of France. We have opened that trade route, but we are afraid that those greedy things will follow in. Now the Annan line is difficult to travel, and outsiders don't know the route, and there are only a few goods transported, so this is not noticeable.

Our Yunyan is a profitable deal, and foreigners will be jealous in the future. Without certain strength, Annan's trade route cannot be opened."

Yang Meng knew best about the area in the Golden Triangle area that the river channel was the best transportation channel, but the Yang family is not strong now, and rashly going up will only make people covet it. The old man’s idea is good, but the timing is wrong, so he rejected it directly.

"The inland line is like a closed and closed, and the risk is too great. You might as well try the Annan line. Let's be careful."

Yang Yong is most familiar with the business path. The danger of going to the inland front line is too great. He cannot guarantee safety. Once the Yang family is leaked, it will be over.

"We have to find a way to go inland now. If we go to Annan, we will die faster if we attract the attention of foreigners."

Yang Meng would never agree with this statement. He could solve big problems by spending money in the Qing Dynasty, but when facing foreign devils, he could only rely on his strength. If you are not strong enough, you can only become the target of being plundered.

"Boss! Do this! You are also on the front line of the inland line, bring more staff, spend money if you can pass, and hit hard if you can't. The number of people on the checkpoint is limited, and you move faster. You should be able to walk once or twice."

Yang Shiqin thought about Yang Meng’s statement and thought it was good. The best way now is to be inland front line.

"No! A hard fight is not a solution. Once the checkpoint is activated, the trouble will be great. It will affect the whole body and alarm the governments of Guangdong and Guangxi, and they will not be able to escape."

The old man spoke simply and fought! But Yang Yong knew the difficulty inside. One or two checkpoints were not bad, but once they were leaked, it would be a big trouble.
