The six Spanish aristocrats returned with pride, feeling as proud as if they had personally experienced the process of drawing the papal meridian.

Yang Ce was not in a hurry to leave, his pirate subordinates had been floating on the sea for many months, and only the port of the Songhai Empire on the west coast of Africa was also docked, and it was rare to have a chance to eat hometown food and spend a lot of time in Changsheng.

"Dashuai, this group of Haikou is too rich!"

Zou Yuanbiao's eyes were about to turn into the shape of silver ingots, and he raised his hand in front of him and said: "Yang Ce paid 30 million Tongbao from the Yamen six days ago, and spent another 13 million and 43 million Tongbao yesterday, if he stays here for a year, the taxes collected by the county government will not be enough for him to spend!" ”

Chang Sheng no longer prints money, the total amount of printed coins is fixed at 16 billion Tongbao, worth 16 million taels of silver, they don't have so much silver, but the relative money is not all live money, and the real circulation of Tongbao in the market does not exceed 2 billion.

The vast majority of the people will deposit their money in the military government and the Bureau of Commerce, in exchange for a redemption ticket, of course, smart people are using Tongbao to exchange Tongbao, Changsheng and Jincheng, the two counties with the most immigrants, have used policies to eliminate the habit of people like to hide silver in cellars.

Yang Cehua's Tongbao was withdrawn, and they had a lot of goods with the ship, but they all stopped at Shelter Bay and sent people to get gold and silver, so they needed to be withdrawn.

The means of withdrawal is seizure, their armor, weapons, artillery and personal jewelry are all mortgaged in Changsheng, although it is not worth 40 million treasures, but in the end more than 600 people can be worth more than 10 million, this is also Zou Yuanbiao's idea.

Drop their weapons without affecting the feelings of both parties.

As long as there are no weapons, it is much easier to restrain them.

"Can they run out of money, they have money to spend outside of Changsheng, let alone the nobles who just grabbed a lot of soft rolls back to Spain."

Chen Mu, who was standing on the balcony overlooking the town, clapped his hands very contentedly against the pillar, and said, "Lin Feng, what do you say?" Yes, whatever you can take is yours. ”

"They don't need to spend money."

"They're pretty good at winning, aren't they? I heard that Yang Ce gave an order not to disturb the people. ”

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Zou Yuanbiao arched his hand and said: "General Yang's order is effective, but not all, the most important thing for them to keep to themselves is the inspection pavilion in the streets and alleys of Changsheng and the armor walking around. ”

"Xiaguan came out of the county government and walked to the military government yamen on the road for hundreds of steps, and I saw a few pirates who had drunk too much wine and were wandering around the street, and just wanted to provoke the people, they were put down by the Baojia militia with blow arrows, and they were all put down."

They are the key figures of the Changsheng militia, and Zou Yuanbiao expressed very clearly the tasks of the Inspection Department and Baojia, so that the pirates of the Han Kingdom could spend money if they wanted to, and if they wanted to cause trouble, they would be directly shot over and sent to the military hospital for treatment.

The arrival of pirates in the city brought more money to Chang Sheng, and they were not like the locals, who were very lavish in their spending.

But the corresponding public security problems in the county are also very serious, but in the end, the inspection department is waiting for it with the armor, and there is no big mess.

"How about the income, more than 40 million Tongbao, they are spending almost half of the money." Chen Mu can't change the habit of being happy when he hears about making money, even if he is very interesting now, this problem still can't be corrected, and his eyebrows flutter when he mentions money: "You can earn a lot, right?" ”

Zou Yuanbiao nodded and said: "More than 50,000 taels of silver, inside and outside, the income of the county government can increase by less than 20,000 taels this year." ”

The tax of Changsheng is not so heavy, but you can earn tens of thousands of taels just by exchanging.

This is also related to the elimination of the people's cellar silver, the means is the exchange of silver and Tongbao, and the people of Changsheng exchange one tael of silver for Tongbao nine hundred with their household registration; One thousand and one hundred tongbao is exchanged for one tael of silver.

The pirates of the Han Kingdom did not have a household registration, and their exchange ratio was one tael of silver to eight hundred tongbao; 1,200 tongbao exchanged for one tael of silver.

Chen Mu called this process more money for buyers and less money for sellers.

"The pirates are indeed rich, they didn't capture many Spanish nobles, one nobleman would cost more than 5,000 taels, not to mention that they also robbed other people of the goods taken from New Spain, which made my heart itch."

The Spanish aristocracy opened a plantation in New Spain, earned money and sent it back to Spain, but was intercepted by Han pirates on the way, and finally spent it to Chang Sheng.

Chen Mu likes this kind of industrial chain, he said: "In the future, I can let Yang Ce take his subordinates down a few times a year, forget it...... Such opportunities do not come often. ”

Zou Yuanbiao also nodded with affection, he knew what Chen Mu's so-called opportunity was.

Wait until next year, maybe the Spaniards who stay in New Spain will no longer want to go back to Spain, and next year or the year after, when Yang Tingxiang will implement the yellow register of household registration in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, there will probably be no Spaniards.

Suddenly, I don't know what Zou Bald thought of, he clapped his hands suddenly, startling Chen Mu, who was looking into the distance, and listened to him: "Dashuai, you can let Yang Ce go to Turtle Island!" Opposite the Viceroyalty of Peru! That's the Spaniards! ”

"And the Spaniards in Peru are very rich, you look at that matine, with six or seven rings on both hands, wow, it looks heavy."

This bald man is so unkind.

"Zou Zhixian, pay attention to your identity." Chen Mu was still startled by Zou Yuanbiao, and turned his head with a straight face and said: "If the officials of the Ming Empire fall into the eyes of money like you, is there any hope for the empire?" ”

Zou Yuanbiao didn't have time to be ashamed when he heard Chen Mu then add: "It's enough to have Chen." ”

"You can't catch a Spanish one of the wool and brush it to death, and when the sheep is killed, everything will be done. In Europa, where we have not yet set foot, Spain is a big poor ghost, Fei Laoer's money has been earned by others, and the sheep we should really care about. ”

The older he followed Chen Mu to the sea, the more Zou Yuanbiao felt that he was close to the truth of the world.

A world where there is no etiquette and shame, the strong are self-respecting, and the weak are reduced to cattle and horses.

He didn't want to go back to Daming, not only did he not want to go back, but he also hoped that all the senior military attachés and civil servants who served in the military government would not go back to Daming - they were too bad.

Zou Yuanbiao muttered: "Outside of Kyushu, why is it like this? ”

He was puzzled.

"The Great Dao is invisible, and there are no rules in the world, but there are rules in the world at all times, but these rules are not the Great Dao, but the concepts pursued by the powerful in the world, imposed on the world."

"The Europa went to sea at a good time, they plundered the world and enslaved Asia and the South Seas, that is the concept they pursued, and until this concept is completely shattered, we can only rely on their ideas, defeat them, and turn them from strong to weak."

"When rules are our concept, the western part of New Spain will be victorious, and those who used to act arbitrarily will be expelled, those who have been oppressed in the past will be freed, and when they lose all their overseas lands, a new order will be determined by us."
