Chen Mu's proposal frightened Yang Zhaolong, and he hurriedly waved his hand and stammered.

"Brother-in-law, it's okay for me to be a foolish governor, you let me go to be the magistrate, I've never tried to do this, no, no, if you don't do it, it's going to kill people."

Yang Zhaolong's reaction made Chen Mu feel very strange: "What is called the governor's line, not the county, are you a small official or what's the matter?" ”

"It's not that the official is small, I have no complaints if you let me be a groom for you here, but the governor of the overseas enclave is different from the magistrate of the county after the establishment of the county government, the front is like a joke, and the back is serious."

Yang Zhaolong said, as if he noticed that Chen Mu's expression did not fluctuate, and said pitifully: "Why don't you let me stay in Changsheng for two years, see what kind of temperament the people here are, and then send them to do something, and I can have a number in my heart." ”

"You don't need to count, you don't need to look, the people on the West Coast are different from the East Coast, and they have no reference meaning, except for Heiyunlong and Hulan, two officers who have gone a long way, others don't know more about that side than you."

Chen Mu did it when he thought of it, and immediately beckoned Juniper to come over and let him run: "Take someone to the Water Shelter to find Mr. Xu, and send all the official documents, intelligence, documents, and maps related to the east coast of North Asia to the fourth side hall of the military government's yamen, yes, and the general situation of the Great Oriental Route and European countries." He turned his head to his brother-in-law and said, "The fourth side hall is usually not used, it will be your office for the time being, and I will give you a winter." ”

"Take a good look at the situation over there, the military government has limited intelligence, and you will go to Makino on the east coast in the spring of next year to contact the people on the spot, and by this time next year...... I want to see that the preliminary work for the establishment of Makino County is completed. ”

After Chen Mu finished speaking with a serious face, Wan Er said with a smile: "The county seat on the east coast needs a county like you that can play with the aboriginal people." ”

"That place in Makino is very important, and in the next few years, it will be the rear of the frontline battlefield, and there must be reliable people to govern and win the hearts and minds of the people. Zhaolong, ......"

Chen Mu rolled his eyelids and looked at Yang Zhaolong with an inquiring look, and asked, "You, can you rely on it?" ”

Perhaps thinking that going to sea provoked the imperial court to move the family from Banzhou to the wilderness of Xinming, Yang Zhaolong blushed and said, "I can definitely be trusted!" ”

As soon as the words fell, his face became bitter again: "It is not an unreliable thing to govern a place." ”

"It's reliable, I think you're very suitable, to be a magistrate in Asia, the ability to govern in the country is secondary, that place on the east coast, first of all, you must be able to unite the local people, at this point, the Yang family has been a generation of Tusi, you have done very well in Xinming and Wangyun Prefecture."

"Secondly, you must know the soldiers, you have been trained as a leading general since you were a child, although you are not from the martial arts, but you have a traditional military foundation, and it is not difficult to learn new things."

"The location of the city, the construction and management of each factory, and the method of assisting in law and order in the stable place attached to the armor, there is information in the water shelter, as long as the county is established, the merchants of various companies will flock to it, and you have nothing to worry about."

Nothing to worry about?

Yang Zhaolong patted his head in distress, muttered a few words that Chen Mu couldn't understand, and spread his hands and said: "What you said just now, brother-in-law, I know Jiashou and Zhucheng, and the factory probably understands a little, but it's better not to understand." ”

The factory, Yang Zhaolong knows, is to put a bunch of craftsmen together and let them do this and that.

However, the management methods of the craftsmen of the Banzhou Xuanwei Division are in the same vein, and three pairs of straw sandals are not broken in a day, and the factory management efficiency is good...... But did he, Yang Zhaolong, dare to take that set?

Xiao Yang looked down at his feet, then looked at the stupid black juniper behind Chen Mu with a long knife on his waist, shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, you have to send someone to me, you have so many factories here, you have to send a few people to Muye who can take care of the factory." ”

Chen Muke didn't know that Yang Zhaolong had so many things in his mind, he nodded and said: "This is natural, I will send you all the people you need, next year not only you will go, Chang Sheng will also pick a few clans to go over, they are now learning architectural design, and they will open agriculture and animal husbandry courses next month, and you will have a lot of talents at that time." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a clan, Yang Zhaolong was so worried that he squeezed his eyes, he himself was a character who could only survive by being served, and now when he heard Chen Mu's meaning, he had to send a bunch of clans to be served?

Makino doesn't do anything, he will find a nanny for himself and the clan all day long!

"Don't, building a city and setting up a fortress is my Yang family's unique skill, and the entourage who follows on the ship will, isn't Nanyang Weigang good? The craftsmen who designed the military port for you back then also came, so you don't need to let them design it, farm the land and raise cattle, and our people will do the same. ”

The 'our people' that Yang Zhaolong said in his mouth were actually the Miao warriors he brought with him when he went out from Banzhou, but this time when he got off the boat in Changsheng, the people around him have changed a lot, there are not many Miao warriors, more are all barbarian warriors and a few Maori warriors.

There were more than 300 people who sailed here with him, and basically Yang Zhaolong's escort and Liu Deputy Qianhu's Nanyang Banner Army accounted for half each.

Originally, there were 500 Nanyang Army, but 100 households were left in Wangyunzhou and Midway Island in the north and south.

The so-called Midway Island is the Hawaiian Islands, and that place is halfway to Yang Zhaolong, hence the name.

Of course, the Maori who followed Yang Zhaolong also used iron tools, all of which were Miao knives.

It's not Qi Jiguang's kind of royal forest knife, it is a long and short knife made by Miao Gang, and there are all kinds of knife types, some like a firewood knife, some like a guillotine, and some like a waist knife.

Although the appearance looks a little simpler, they are all first-class good knives.

Chen Mu thought about the movement of people from China, bringing new cultural traditions in this new continent, and the Ming army coming here to bring a revolution in production technology to the Indians.

Hulan brought Mongolian steppe traditions to the north, and the Cheyenne and Iroquois tribes began to domesticate horses and learn cavalry; Now that Yang Zhaolong and his Miao brothers are here with medicine crossbows and Miao knives, it can be expected that there will be a Miao steel industry in the soon-to-be-established Muye County.

The thought of this brought a smile to his face.

"Brother-in-law said there is going to be a war over there, and someone wants to come and grab our land?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

"The war has already begun, the Nine Classics are at war with France in Spain, and we have just destroyed France's stronghold on the Great Lakes, next year King Ellan will use troops against England, and the fleet of the Oriental Military Government is also ready in the Great Eastern Ocean, and your place will become an important supply point and a place for fleet retreat, which is extremely important."

Chen Mu stood up, waved his hand at Yang Zhaolong, and said, "Go back and read well, your brother, then I will write to him, try to make him not blame you, it's not your fault...... By the way, when you left Xinming, how much steel could the iron mines in the north produce a day, thousands of catties? ”
