Chapter 57 Wei Wu, the Weird

"I wonder what Master Third wants to hear?"

As the topic turned to the point, Wei Wu was slowly taking the initiative. Yang Sanlang was a bastard, so it would be better to keep some capital.

"I listen to what you say. As for the result, only you know."

Negotiation? This is Yang Meng’s best-known. Who is the person who does business with drug lords? When talking about business is not a conspiracy, it is not that easy for Wei Wu to turn the tables.

"Yunnan is located in a border desertion, but copper and silver are the pillars. Although Yunnan's copper courses have become increasingly declining in recent years, there are still two or three million kilograms of fine copper a year, and they will be transported to the capital along the copper road in Yanjin. If something goes wrong in Yunnan, the court will not stop easily.

Although copper and silver are important, Yunnan has another fatal point, that is, the finances cannot be managed by themselves. Tens of thousands of green camp soldiers in Yunnan and the salaries of officials of all sizes in Yunnan are raised by themselves, while most of the others are allocated by the court and the surrounding provinces. It is very important to dominate Yunnan.

Yunnan has developed waterways. It can connect to Yanjin to the north to connect to the Yangtze River, to Guangxi to the east to connect to the Pearl River, to Honghe to the south to Annan, and to Lancang River to the west to Nanzhang, Siam, and Myanmar.

The land border is also very wide. Several vassal states of the Qing Dynasty, Annan, Nanzhang, Siam, Myanmar, and Sulu, can all be connected. As long as they occupy Yunnan, they can use weapons."

Wei Wu said that Yang Meng was thinking. This is what talented people should say. If Wei Wu continued to say these things, Yang Meng would have the intention to bury him.

But Wei Wu said a lot of things, and the direction he pointed was wrong! This was water and land, and with vassal states, although Yang Meng was not clear about the names of those countries, Yang Meng knew that it was the direction of Southeast Asia.

After talking to him, Wei Wu, for a long time, he wanted to spend himself and point his finger at foreign countries, not the Qing Dynasty.

"Haha! This is a bit interesting. Now we are the two of us. I will just say something. I have already made a lot of what you call a foreign gun. But this cannon is too large and the inland court is tightly blocked. What are your ways?"

Yang Meng knew much more in Southeast Asia than Wei Wu, but the time is wrong now. If you blindly hit him, you are afraid that the Yang family will be eaten alive. Now what Yang Meng wants is a smooth domestic trade route. As for those outside, it will not be too late to take over when his strength is similar.

My own business is a gold and silver mine, and it is full of pure gold and silver. As long as clouds and smoke are raging, I can pave the way from Yunnan to the capital. The biggest constraint now is the closed trade route. It is easy to ship, but it is difficult to purchase goods. Gold and silver alone will only speed up the demise of the Yang family.

When Yang Meng showed his foundation, Wei Wu's rosy face turned a little pale. It seemed that he was not the only one with vision. Yang Sanlang had a lot of plans!

"The best thing to use is gold, silver and treasures, luxury house women. Have you tried these third masters?"

If you want to talk about who knows the Qing system best, Wei Wu thinks that he is definitely one of the few people who know the most. Yang Sanlang has something to say and force himself to submit.

The only difficulty in the ages is the only way to die. I can’t get through this level. In order to save my life, he can only find something useful. The administration of officials, another fatal point in the Qing Dynasty, and the stolen officials all over the ground. These people cannot get rid of them. Think about it, are they the same?

"There are many checkpoints on the Pearl River Commercial Road, and there are too many people and talks, so I can't buy it!"

The eldest brother Yang Yong complained several times that the business road crisis was full of many times. If he could solve it for money, he would not be so embarrassed.

"Yunnan is not only short of money, but also lacks a lot of things! Salt, grain, military funds, these are all reasons."

Yang Meng said the more he was, the more frightened Wei Wu was. The Yang family was a disaster! The Zhujiang Commercial Road was said, and it seemed that they had become a powerful force. As long as there was enough time, the chaos in the Qing Dynasty would definitely occur in Yunnan.

"This is a boring thing. Although the Pearl River waterway originated in Yunnan, it is difficult to directly connect to Guangdong and Guangxi. Almost all the supplies in Yunnan are from the Yanjin Tongdao. Wei Wu, you are misleading me by saying this? In the name of salt and grain military supplies, you hide artillery and walk on the front line of the Pearl River. Then the Yang family is waiting to be confiscated and destroyed. They are all wise people, so why bother to make these twists and turns?"

Through this meal and a few words, Yang Meng also took Wei Wu's weakness. This old thing was afraid of death, otherwise it would be difficult for an old ghost of this age to squeeze out useful things smoothly. The more Wei Wu was afraid of death, the easier it would be for Yang Meng to pick him up.

After being poked, Wei Wu's face turned red and white. Yang Sanlang was not old, but his scheming was mature. He wanted to play with silence, but it seemed that he would not be able to do it.

"Then follow the passage and waterway, sprinkle silver all the way and put things on the boat. As long as you spend a lot of money, you won't have to worry about not being able to reach Yunnan."

Wei Wu gritted his teeth and said this. In Yang Meng's opinion, it was just a change of soup and no medicine!

"Wei Wu! You also know the name of Yang San. Are you looking for death? Zhou Shiqing's green camp was born, and he couldn't stand my torture. He spit out all the gold and silver cellars of the Zhou family manor. Do you also want to try that feeling? What's your origin? Third Master doesn't want to know. Since you are sitting here, you have to work hard for the Third Master. You have to use your efforts to work hard. You dare to hold back your troubles and don't want to play seriously? Third Master promises to use you as a bean, crush your flesh and squeeze out clean oil!"

This old guy is also arrogant and speaks in hiding his face. Do you really treat him Yang Meng as a fool?

"This is a rebellion!"

Wei Wu knew very well that although the Qing Dynasty had been suffering from serious illnesses in recent years, the Yang family was just seeking death before the country was destroyed.

The evil disease comes from foreigners. Although this disease is an acute disease and affliction that is difficult to treat, it is not fatal. Rebellion is a fatal disease. The Qing Dynasty will suppress it even if it is fought for life.

"Who said I was going to rebel? I just wanted to develop Yunnan, but the officials of the court were not strong enough. Only by leaving them aside, Yunnan could develop. Dominance is just a means of doing things."

Yang Meng said this with a grand and arrogant look, and he was completely like a way to save the country and life.

But Wei Wu heard such words too much before, and he used to pull the tiger's skin to make a big banner, and he would say something and put it in front of him. That was the real thing. Yang Sanlang played with him, and he became immature!

"San Ye, foreign artillery will not be sold easily. You should consider this matter! If the Qing Dynasty wants to purchase arms, it will be easy! The Yang family wants to do this business, and it will be easy. The number is too large, and it is difficult to guarantee that the bottom will not be revealed. You should think about this!"

Tell Yang Meng that Wei Wu had no such plan at all. The Yang family had no shortage of money. Now he has obtained half of the fertile land in Yiliang. As long as you get dozens of cannons, you can establish the hegemony of Yunnan! The court's green camp will be scared after three or five cannons.

With the Yang family rebelling, he didn't have the same intention. He was over 60 years old. How many years could he live with his stubbornness? Even if he was afraid of death, he could not even wear the hat of rebellion. This was to kill the nine clans.

"Hehe, since that's the case, there's nothing to hide. The third master refined opium and made a snuff, which has sold a batch in Guangzhou. All the British and French foreigners have smoked it. You, Wei Wu, are considered a talent. I have said everything you should say. You should think about what to do!"

The old man Wei Wu still has a bottom line, but this bottom line is not in Yang Meng's eyes. He can't hide his drugs for a few years. Although the current technology cannot be detected, if someone sucks this thing, once he loses the goods, he will be worse than death.

If there is a problem on your own or on the trade route and the source of goods is cut off, the conflict will erupt like a volcano. At that time, the anger of the great powers will not be able to withstand the Qing Dynasty.

"You...you...you are doing the country to destroy the country! The capital is close to the coastal border. Once foreigners take revenge, strong ships and powerful cannons break through the country's gates and land with Tianjin Guards, tens of thousands of people can destroy the Qing Dynasty. Without the court, the world will be in chaos. How many people will sink into the war? You will suffer endless disasters!"

Opium poisoned the Qing Dynasty. Of course, Wei Wu knew the disadvantages of this thing. Foreigners were selling opium, but the Qing Dynasty was unable to stop it. However, the Qing Dynasty sold opium back. How could foreigners give up? Opium was not the one person, but the family of generations.

Once opium is stained, very few can be quit. Yang Sanlang does this to destroy people's foundation. No matter how big the foreigners have, they cannot tolerate such things.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu was sweating heavily, and his rosy face turned purple and red. He pointed at Yang Meng's hand and began to shake violently. This Yang Sanlang was ruining the country!

"The thing has been done. A few months ago, I sold 7,800,000 kilograms to make a profit of 300,000 kilograms, and got thousands of guns and nearly ten thousand kilograms of swords. I am planning to ship them again these days! I made nearly 100,000 kilograms of this snuff. Do you think it will be sent out at one time or half of it?"

Wei Wu is a capable person. Through conversation, Yang Meng could see that this person's mysterious origin was 80% related to the court. He was in his sixties or seventies, and even if he lost power, he could look rosy. This person is not simple.

"Is it the front line in Guangzhou?"

Wei Wu calmed down his emotions and asked in a trembling voice.

"Not bad! Foreigners are the most powerful in Guangzhou, and the court is not easy to interfere. There can be smuggling openly. Moreover, after I finish the business, I pat my butt and leave, and the foreigners can't find any support."

The business trip matters were handled by my elder brother. Although he didn't know the clear things, Yang Meng also knew the things inside.

"Let's do it! All shipments are shipped, and the goods are still on the front line of the Pearl River. On the way back, let foreigners bring the goods to the estuary of the Yangtze River and go to Yunnan by taking the Yangtze River Copper Road. As long as you spend money, you can bribe the officials in charge of Yunnan Copper Administration and get the imperial court's clearance certificate. What can't be transported in?"

Relying on the Qing Dynasty to deal with foreigners, Wei Wu had no idea at all. When the mountains of gold and silver were in the hands of the court, two or three would fly back and forth and it would be difficult to find the traces.

Yang Sanlang has taken over his weakness. He is afraid of death and does not want to be a person who is destroyed. He lives in this life and has to be a slave again when he is old.

"San Ye is not very enthusiastic about artillery now. What San Ye wants is the skills of foreigners and talents proficient in foreigners."

Wei Wu is also a weird person. He has a good idea, but Yang Meng wants to play bigger ones.

"Foresight is amazing! I have convinced the Third Master. This chess is a great move! I look forward to it and can't see through it. I first occupy Yunnan, and then open the Annan trade route. I will leave the Qing Dynasty and directly communicate with foreigners. I just don't know what the purpose of the Third Master is?"

No matter how old or not, Yang Sanlang is not a fool, it is obviously a giant traitor like Wang Mang and Cao Cao.

"Life well, live freely!"

"That's it?"

"Yes! The court is corrupt, and doing business will only become a fat sheep in the eyes of others. Only by dominating one's own life can one live freely!"

Yang Meng's goal has changed, but because of the cover-up of desire, he himself didn't see clearly!

"Most of the missionaries of foreigners are knowledgeable people. As long as the third master allows them to build churches in Yunnan, missionaries from all countries will flock to you! This matter can be kept secret. After all, the barriers to the Qing Dynasty are very strict, and the free missionary that these missionaries hope for is simply impossible to achieve. With your promise, they will do their best to assist."

Finally, I got to the point. Today's thoughts were not in vain. Wei Wu is definitely a talent!
