The market in front of the Daojun Temple became more and more prosperous, and the stonemason Xu Lu'an's suggestion to Chen Mu to dig deep into Asian antiques made the local leaders who came to the Changsheng Huimeng a small fortune.

These tribal leaders, whether they are far away or not, have some heirlooms on them, such as jade masks, tiaras, obsidian knives and other utensils, which are not very valuable in their own eyes, but they have some history.

And in Xu Lu'an's shop, as long as there is some history that can be said, it can be exchanged for eight hundred treasures to three taels of silver, plus the exchange of some other goods, almost all the leaders can earn some money for their expenses in Changsheng.

If it is said that in Changsheng County at this moment, who is the richest person in the Ming army, then among the leaders of the Indian tribes is undoubtedly the leader of the white horse.

White Horse's commercial talent made him already have a huge net worth of six hundred taels of silver when the other chiefs were still complacent about owning 10,000 tongbao.

The shrewd merchant did not make more than one side, he not only sent his men to trade with cocoa beans to the northern tribes, sweeping all the goods of other tribes, but also sent people to Taxco.

That's right, it's the silver city that originally belonged to the Spaniards, Taxco.

The business logic of White Horse is very simple, this thing is low here but high in other places, I will sell it elsewhere, and vice versa.

Silver has extraordinary purchasing power in Changsheng, so why don't I just take it?

The mines and towns of Taxco were still under the control of the Ming cavalry left behind by the Black Cloud Dragon, and the remaining hundred households there had been organizing the local people to mine, but in order to find a way to prepare for a possible Spanish army, he recruited a local infantry force of 300 men to train them in the battle.

There has always been a severe shortage of manpower in the mines, and the arrival of the people of the White Horse tribe made up for this shortcoming, but they were conditional, and the silver they dug was separated separately, and a quarter of it was taken away as the tribe's payment.

Among the more than 400 tribal leaders, even those who originally brought silver products to the victorious trade were not as rich as white horses.

Of course, Chen Mu felt that he had made a fortune, because Baima exchanged the silver transported by his subordinates to Changsheng for Tongbao, and many tribal leaders already knew that Wanli Tongbao would be the currency in Asia in the future.

In any case, everyone thinks that they have earned it, and it is a win-win situation.

"You can change your name to Bai Tao, in our history, there is a great politician and businessman who was called Tao Zhu Gong because he was enshrined in Taoqiu, and you have the same talent as him."

Chen Mu said to the White Horse, and said, "The White Horse Alliance has elected a few leaders to participate in the signing of the treaty with the Spaniards with me?" ”

Today's White Horse Alliance is not the White Horse with only eight leaders at the beginning, but now this alliance represents all the tribes south of the boundary monument, with more than 70 tribal leaders, but the overall strength is the weakest among the three major tribes in Asia.

Because this is Mexico City, many tribes have men in the prime of life who have been sent to the Potosi silver mines to mine, and some of the larger tribes of more than 1,000 people have killed some men in previous wars with the Spaniards.

But Chen Mu admires the White Horse Alliance, not only because the White Horse can do business, but also because most of them can speak Spanish, which makes it convenient for them to learn Chinese in the future, and they can speak the Aztec language, and when they learn Chinese well, the people of White Horse can go to other tribes to teach Chinese.

They can take responsibility for the culture.

"White pottery?"

The white horse lord in strange clothes had no special feelings about the name, neither resistance nor joy, just nodded flatly, he was more concerned about another question than his own name: "There are six leaders, but why do we sign a treaty with you?" ”

By this time, Hakuba had already understood that the previous war was not a war between the Spaniards and the Spaniards, and although he had not yet figured out why the Akito was at war with the Spaniards, he was now clearly on the side of the victors.

"It's not us, you and them, it's us, them." Chen Mu smiled lightly and said: "They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can you and me, the imperial court sent troops thousands of miles away to win the war and liberate the ministries, and the ministries naturally sent their leaders to come with me to see the dejected appearance of the vanquished." ”

"Your ancestors left the north thousands of years ago to cross the Blackwater Islands, and now I have brought cavalry and farming techniques, we are one again, and we don't need to be afraid anymore, we only need to learn two things."

Chen Mu raised his finger: "Respect the emperor and the court, thrive here, and live well." ”

"Okay, I'll tell them."

Not long after Bai Ma said goodbye, Yang Tingxiang walked out from behind the house, looked at Chen Mu for a long time, and then asked, "Dashuai, did they really come from the north through the Blackwater Islands thousands of years ago?" ”

"And I heard Acosta say that he had seen the horses of the natives, different from the Westerners, but somewhat similar to my horses, in the northeast."

Chen Mu leaned on the seat and closed his eyes, squinted his eyes for a moment and said, "You just listen seriously, no one knows what the ancestors did thousands of years ago, at least they don't know." ”

In addition to designing warships for the Ming army, Yang Tingxiang did historical research on the local people, and Chen Mu's attitude of letting him listen seriously made it difficult for him to do it.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know if I'm right, but I think so, since I think so...... Then that's what it is. ”

This is different from referring to a deer as a horse, the people next to Zhao Gao can distinguish which is a deer and which is a horse, but the people around Chen Mu can't tell which is a tomato and which is a cactus, because they have never seen it.

Chen Mu is what he says.

"Besides, I'm not lying, don't care if the people in the north have horses or not, everyone has seen horses now, but I did bring them cavalry, as long as you write so, the books that will circulate in the world in the future will think that horses are brought by us, and we bring not only horses, but also advanced technology."

"I know you all think that I have bad intentions when I pull the leader of the Turks to sign a treaty at this time, I just want the Westerners to hate them, and at this time the Turks are on my side, and the Westerners will hate them more than they hate me, everyone is like this."

"It's not fair to them." Chen Mu still closed his eyes, and said intermittently like a dream: "But for them, joining the Ming Dynasty is already the best result, and with the white people, they will be killed sooner or later." ”

"There are a lot of them, there are not so many people in any country in Europa, it doesn't matter who it is, they will be afraid, fear will be crazy, except for us."

"There are more of us than them, we are still very similar to them, even if they are mixed with Westerners, they still look more like us, if they intermarry for a long time, they will be no different from us, we can really accept them, but the Europa people can't, all they can bring is slaughter."

"Never underestimate the inferiority of people, especially those who never reveal their true nature when they are rich and noble, and only when they are cornered...... They have been hysterical. ”
