The fleet of the three surnames set sail again, carrying ceramics and silk fabrics from Haojing to Luzon.

If all goes well, when they return, they will bring goods worth 10,000 taels.

This fleet, which was controlled by Chen Mu, Bai Yuanjie, and Zhang Yongshou, also got the Haojing flag, and Chen Mu even planned to find an opportunity to get the Portuguese's Malacca shipping concession, but this desire was not so strong.

He hopes to be like Hao Jing and draw business taxes in Malacca.

It's just that it's too early to think about that, it's just a trivial matter that he only has a few boats in his hands, if he wants to, he can pull out nearly 10,000 people at any time, the key is that he doesn't have the power to start a war.

Guangdong garrison Chen Lan, Xinhui thousand households Huang Dexiang, Shunde thousand households Shao Tingda, Qingcheng thousand households Bai Yuanjie.

As for his friends, all of them have authority, who doesn't have hundreds of troops under their command, except for Hu Liangpeng's unlucky guy, everyone has soldiers, but they don't have the power to go to war.

is the only free Lin Feng, who is not a friend.

said Lin Feng, Lin Feng came.

In late July, Haojing was very lively, the Yishang who came from Malacca or Nagasaki had not left, as Zhu Xiang presided over the tax revenue accumulated more and more, Chen Mu's smile improved significantly, Haojing's transaction volume has exceeded 400,000 taels, and the draw is as high as 60,000 taels, 60,000 taels, 12,000 taels belong to the customs defense.

The trade volume is so huge, a lot of it is due to Chen Mu, he started to go straight to Zhang Han, hoping to let the Guangzhou Navy Division patrol the islands around Haojing, and see the Yiren ships directly detaining the ships and people, which is regarded as smuggling.

A lone merchant can't fight against the sailor, not to mention that the leader of the Yiren in Haojing is also on Chen Mu's side, and there are also Pereira's ships patrolling overseas.

When they were included in the tax revenue, none of the ten merchants wanted anyone to evade the Ho Jing Customs, which made the Yi merchants who had been hiding on the island for the past 20 years to do private transactions fail, and no one could escape the exploitation of the Ho Jing Customs.

It was only at this time that Chen Mu realized how much authority he had in Haojing, Yi merchant ships, if he wanted to, he could be detained to death!

No one can ask for it, because after Wang Bai was transferred, Chen Qianhu covered the sky with one hand in Haojing Ao.

But he didn't do that, but he found that he sent someone to buy a ship early, and in just two months, Chen Lan and others intercepted sixteen Yiren captains without flags for him, including both Japanese and Franco, and Chen Mu only gave two ways.

The price of finding ten merchants to buy flags and ship guides is more than 1,000 taels of silver, because for each flag issued, the merchants need to pay a fee ranging from 2,000 taels to 10,000 taels to Haojing, and nail the opposite number of the flag on the stern of the ship to prevent counterfeiting.

Not all of this silver belonged to Chen Mu, half of it had to be handed over to the imperial court at the customs, half of it passed through Chen Mu's hands, and some of it was sent to the fleet of sailors who captured them.

100 taels for small boats, 200 taels for medium ships, and 400 taels for large ships.

But the battalion brothers are so happy!

There are governors who speak, thousands of households who give rewards, and they catch a big ship for a month or two, and they are all very violent, and when they see a ship on the island from afar, they rush up to seize the ship and detain people, and the posture is more pirate than pirate.

If the pirates can't beat them, they can only run, and if these sailors can't beat them, they will call someone directly.

A hundred miles of sea around Haojing, there are now four garrisons patrolling, in addition to Chen Luan, Yu Dayou's subordinates have two staff generals with four garrisons, and the troops are very sufficient!

"Chen Qianhu, catch a businessman!"

Chen Mu happily wrote his artillery drill code in the house, and when he heard the rumor that he had taken a businessman to see him, he waved his hand and smiled at the girl who was fanning the wind and studying ink beside him, and then got up and walked towards the yamen.

The girl was sent by Su Sanniang of Yan Guifang, and she was embarrassed by Chen Mu's favor, so she sent two newcomers from the painting boat to come over and wait, she was a female apprentice trained by Su Sanniang since she was a child, and she learned a lot of complicated functions, and it was naturally a piece of cake to fan the wind and pour water, but it was a pity that they couldn't make cannons.

What a pity!

Although it was very cool to have someone around to serve him, Chen Mu still kept an eye on it, no matter what he did in the yamen, he would write a book by himself before he was in the house, so that he could save any tricks from falling into the hands of others, whether it was internal or external, it was always troublesome.

When he arrived at the front hall of the Yamen, Chen Mu found that it was not the Francophone he expected, but a Japanese with a comb on his moon head, with a young and thin face showing the firmness common to widows in this era, wearing a black net scarf of the Ming people on his forehead but with a white belt, and the black painted samurai uniform was also covered with the imitation Song armor of the Ming people.

Although it is not very tall, it is not very short, and it can barely hold up the ornate armor, and it looks like a collection of East Asian cultural exchanges.

His two swords were unloaded by the family and placed on the weapon rack at the door, and he stood in the middle to see Chen Mu come over and salute, and then knelt on the ground, bowed his head with two fists and pestles, and said loudly in a fairly proficient Min language: "Lord Qianhu, the contemptible Zhuang Gong, is Lord Lin Feng's retainer!" ”

The voice was loud and his demeanor was serious, which made Chen Mu smile.

Because this Japanese named Zhuang Gong paid too much attention to the matter of reporting his common name and surname, more than he paid more attention to it when he saw the governor.

"Huh."

Chen Mu smiled a little rudely, and then said to Zhuang Gong very gently: "Okay, I'm not an adult, and you're not a villain, let's get up and sit down and talk, relax a little, I'm a little unaccustomed to this." ”

Qi Zhengyan, who was straddling the knife beside him, whispered: "Master Chen, the Japanese are like this." ”

The smile on Chen Mu's face had not disappeared, he nodded to indicate that he knew, and beckoned to the servant: "Since you are Lin Feng's brother, he asked you to come to me for tea, what's the matter?" ”

Zhuang Gong did not listen to Chen Mu's will and sat on the chair, still maintained that posture and glanced up at Chen Mu, then lowered his head and said loudly in the same tone: "Lord Lin Feng's fleet is at sea, and the Ming warships cannot be close to patrol, we have no intention of harassing us, please allow trade in Hong Kong!" ”

With the last sentence, Zhuang Gong patted the floor with his hands and five fingers together in a more serious posture, and at the same time kowtowed without raising his head, and fixed this action.

Lin Feng wants to come to Haojing?

Chen Mu knew that he would come, but he didn't expect to come so soon.

He must have gained a lot by attacking his base camp in South Australia after Zeng Yiyi was defeated and burning down the camp, and Chen Mu thought it would not be long before he visited Hao Jing to dump the stolen goods. Lin Feng must have his own channels to sell the small stolen goods, but no one can eat the large stolen goods, and there is no Ming Dynasty port around Penghu that allows him to sell materials, only Haojing.

So Chen Mu knew that Lin Feng would definitely choose to come to Haojing.

But at this time, Lin Feng came to Haojing, that is, basically he might just rest in Penghu for a few days after attacking Nanao, and then he sailed directly to Xiangshan, this Lin Feng's courage is really big.

"What is he going to sell, and buy? How many boats, how many soldiers? ”

Zhuang Gong still did not raise his head, and replied at a very fast speed: "Boats, cannons, guns, armor, silk, porcelain, fragrant wood, women, Lord Lin Feng wants to buy grain, water, cannons, guns, boats, farm tools, and oxtails." ”

Chen Mu felt a little confused when he heard this, especially what Lin Feng wanted to buy at the end, and asked, "Oxtail?" ”

"Make the oxtail hair for dusting." Zhuang Gong raised his head and looked at Chen Mu, and said, "I heard that the Japanese daimyo, Master Matsudaira Ieyasu of Mikawa, is buying the Ming State Oxtail to make a Tang head. ”

After thinking about it, Zhuang Gong said again.

"That daimyo changed his name to Tokugawa Ieyasu three years ago."
