Early in the morning, when Fu Yuan and Lou Qimai came to say goodbye, Chen Mu was woken up by Xiao Balang, freshened up and waited in the yamen, and the two small flags led the flag army to take the silver from Chen Mu and went to Guangzhou Mansion on the road.

Later were Shao Tingda and Shi Qi.

"I was too tired to come back last night, and you waited for a long time, and I didn't have anything else to do with you." The back kitchen of the yamen cooked roast goose porridge, and the chef who made a cameo appearance by the pro-soldiers couldn't mention any skills, but he cut the roast goose brought by Shao Tingda and boiled it with rice porridge, and it was comfortable to eat with small salt dishes.

Chen Mu beckoned the three of them to eat and said, "Iron Mountain in the east, Qianhu asked me to dig it, which of the two of you is willing to do this?" ”

It's a couple of people who are sitting, but it's just the two of them who asked, Chen Mu can't let Wei Balang lead the flag army to open the mountain to mine, he can't do this kind of thing with a child's heart.

Shao Tingda quickly finished eating a bowl, raised his hand and handed the bowl to the soldiers, wiped his mouth and said, "Go and serve another bowl." Brother Mu, it's nothing if you let me open the mountain, just bother to recruit two homeless people who have opened mines, and the rest of the flag army will get over, and there will be no delay in training and mining, let the storyteller count with you, I'll go! ”

Shi Qi, the dog-headed military advisor, is very competent, and has the mission of counting hundreds of households, no way, the short man is tall, and Chen Junye's subordinates are such a person who can read and count, the harvest of the military field, the number of soldiers and armor, Chen Mu doesn't want to end up in person, so he can only let Shi Qi do it for him.

"General Banner, this matter, I think it has to be discussed in the long run."

Yo he, looking at Wen Xuan's long-term plan, this is really taking himself as a military advisor!

Shi Qi was silent for a while before he spoke, and when he saw Chen Mu motioning for him to continue, he said: "The big thing is undecided, although Qianhu and Zhang Baihu go to Guangzhou, they may not be able to protect the general banner and get the post of deputy Qianhu in Qingcheng. ”

"Think about it! Now the deputy thousand households in Qingcheng are the biggest officials, and the next few hundred households dare to rob Chen Mou? ”

Seriously, just what those hundred households can do, Chen Mu can see through it at a glance, he has a fierce style on the battlefield, and he relies on Bai Jingchen's people behind him, and if he doesn't grab food from them, he will already burn high incense.

"But you're right."

Chen Mu paused and said to Shao Tingda: "Then don't dig first, there will be fields to defend the city for a while and a half, and there is money in the office, so don't be in a hurry to mine." What if, what if you don't become a thousand households? ”

He didn't worry at all about whether he would not be able to be a deputy thousand households, as long as Bai Yuanjie could become a thousand households in Qingcheng, even if his merits would be promoted to a hundred households, he would still be in a humble position.

I'm afraid that Bai Yuanjie's own official position will not be completed, in case the imperial court transfers a thousand households again, or commands the envoy to install a cronies and relatives in Qingcheng, it will be interesting.

In these years, when there is no money, I am worried, and I am worried about having no money.

But don't you worry when you have money?

No, Chen Mu found himself even more worried.

Worry about where to put the money.

In the first battle of Heyuan, the banner army cleaned up the battlefield and got a hundred and ten taels of silver and a large pile of copper coins, and handed over twenty silver ingots in Yingde for ten taels of silver ingots in good condition; The booty of the war to save the people was sold at the source of the river for forty-four ingots, and ten ingots were divided and thirty-four ingots remained.

Not counting the reward of the court in the future, this battle gave him five hundred and fifty taels of silver, today Fu Yuan and Lou Qimai took people to take five ingots of silver to buy cattle and horses in Guangzhou Mansion, and there were five hundred taels of silver left in the yamen and I didn't know where to put it.

Learn from the landlord to dig a pit and bury it?

How stupid!

Coupled with his own harvest of more than 400 stone rice in the granary, and more than 4,000 catties of nitrate in the iron mill, he actually made a thousand taels of wealth this year.

"Reckless, do you want to go back to your hometown?"

Chen Mu didn't speak, none of the three little flag officials dared to speak, seeing that he had been pondering for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and said this, which stunned Shao Tingda and said, "Go back, go back to your hometown?" ”

"Yes, go back to your hometown, Yuegang."

Now it is the year of Longqing, not far from Emperor Longqing's opening of customs, and Chen Mu happened to know that the location of Emperor Longqing's switch was in Yuegang, which was later Haicheng County.

In the Ming Dynasty, the only quasi-private port that went to sea to sell the east and west oceans, Moon Port.

"Does Brother Mu have anything to say for me to bring to my relatives, or do you want me to bring someone from my hometown?"

"Neither." Chen Mu shook his head and said, "How much is a house in Yuegang City, and how is it compared to Guangzhou Mansion?" ”

Shao Tingda's eyes widened and he couldn't think of what Chen Mu wanted to say, "Buy a house?" Hi! Brother Mu, if you have money, how good it is to buy a house in Guangzhou Mansion, our commanders and envoys all have houses in Guangzhou Mansion, and the mansion in Yuegang is not as good as the outside of Guangzhou Mansion even in the middle of the city! ”

Chen Mu nodded in his heart and asked, "It's not as expensive as Guangcheng, outside the city of Yuegang City, on the street by the sea, how much does a house cost?" ”

He asked Shao Tingda, Shao Tingda's eyes widened, and it took a long time before he turned his head stiffly to look at Shi Qi, "Storyteller, how do I sell the house in my hometown?" ”

Shi Qi was even more blindfolded, eating porridge with his head bored, ignoring him, and when he was called impatient, he split his head and covered his face and said: "You stupid dick, Lao Tzu is not a fortune teller, where can I be in Guangdong and know how to sell the house in Yuegang, Fujian, I have never been to Yuegang!" ”

"It's not!"

Shao Tingda was not in a hurry to be scolded, and pointed: "Think about it, you helped me read the letter, and when there was chaos, how much did the pharmacy outside the city sell?" Or? ”

Chen Mu almost squirted out the water he drank into his mouth, "One or two? ”

"It seems to be one or two, and it was originally only a shop for two taels of silver." Shao Tingda rubbed his stubble and asked, "Why does Brother Mu want to buy a house in Yuegang?" ”

Chen Mu counted with his fingers, and his memory of the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than Jiajing and Wanli, with an unknown Longqing in the middle, just a few short years, and there were few major events in the Longqing year, except for Longqing Yihe is the Longqing switch, and then Zhang Juzheng began to take power to create Longwan Zhongxing.

Other than that, there are no other memories of the Longqing period.

Zhang Juzheng is out of reach, he doesn't even know whether he has caught Tan Lun's line or not, and Longqing doesn't know who is negotiating peace with whom, and the only opportunity he can seize at the moment is nothing more than Longqing's switch.

At the moment, his people can't get by, and they can't stay in Yuegang for a long time, but it still makes sense to seize the opportunity.

For example, take possession of the land first.

"Five hundred taels, five hundred taels in Yuegang City, outside the city, near the direction of the seaside, how many shops and houses can be collected, and it is best to buy a few acres of land on both sides of the official road, how many acres can you buy?"

Chen Mu asked, everyone's expressions were different, Shi Qi was surprised by Chen Mu's handwriting, but it was a private matter involving Zongqi's hometown and had nothing to do with him, so he was silent. Shao Tingda asked like a joke: "Brother Mu, do you want to buy the two streets of Yuegang?" Five hundred taels, five hundred taels after buying a house, you are Chen Bancheng of Yuegang! ”

But Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong, who stood behind Chen Mu, were different from the two former widows, they keenly grasped a key word in Chen Mu's words, approaching the seaside.

The two old widows glanced at each other, and both saw the joy and surprise in each other's eyes.
