Fortunately, Wu Shouli's request for Chen Mu can be done.

However, the procedure cannot be wrong, Wu Shouli first wrote to the court to offer boats and wood, and the court approved it, and gave Wu Shouli's family three idle official positions, so Chen Mu dared to accept such a reward.

Moreover, it is beneficial for Huizhou merchants to prosper in Hehe, and it is a great benefit.

Although they are all businessmen, but the habits of Hui merchants are very different from those of Fujian and Guangzhou, Fujian and Guangzhou businessmen are brave to break through, although they are not afraid of thieves, and they are often poor people who only have pillows, felts, and quilts outside their bodies, and they go abroad alone, and they are employed for a few years to seek an independent business, and then they are overseas giants in a few years.

Huizhou businessmen are good at management, have a high average level of education, like to make friends with powerful people, and embark on a win-win route; The excellent Fujian-Guangzhou merchants not only did business, but also protected themselves - for example, in this era, the way they protect themselves is to have their own ships, guns, and cannons.

When the Hui merchants arrived in North Asia to Merica, they would operate handicrafts, manufacturing, construction, pawnshops, and so on, and they would soon be able to develop one town after another and self-operated plantations, forest farms, and mountain farms.

Especially this Wu Shouli, Chen Mu very much hopes that he can have his own industry in North Asia Melica.

"Like him, showing his wealth in front of the entire court, and he is not a clan official or businessman, the court will think of him as soon as he has no money, and sooner or later he will be in trouble."

Chen Mu knew this truth too much, he didn't dare to enter the Nanyang real age into the account book until Gao Gong officially joined the Nanyang Military Government, and all the things that the imperial court knew so far were still reserved, but they were not retained in the books, because the part that belonged to the Nanyang Military Government in the past is now the revenue of the Minguang Customs, and it has nothing to do with the Nanyang Military Government.

"The situation is not so bad, the marshal, there are four military mansions, and the court will not run out of money." Zhao Shizhen chuckled and put two official documents and a letter on Chen Mu's desk, and said: "These are two official documents sent by Shandong and the Nanyang Guard Ordnance Bureau. ”

"This is the last Qianhu Department to be sent to the voyage, and when they return one after another, presumably there will be enough baggage ships, and the Oriental fleet will be able to be drawn one after another."

The fleet's long-distance training went to the Jinzhou Weizhong Zuoqianhu Office, located in Dalian in the later generations, and it was said that it was a long-distance training, but in fact it was only from Tianjin, Jinzhouwei, North Korea's Huanghaedo, and Shandong Leyden, with a total voyage of more than 2,700 miles, which was no more than one-tenth of the voyage across the Great Orient.

Besides, the sea area is different, the climate is different, and the coastal situation is different, which can only be regarded as a little boat training for his subordinates before the real voyage.

After all, the sea they were sailing on was the Cangming Sect, and the sea that was later called the Pacific Ocean was not peaceful at all.

On Chen Mu's desk, two official documents on the sea area submitted by Chen Ju, who was returned from Majiagang, and Yang Tingxiang, who was returned from a voyage to Spain, were about to be destroyed by Chen Mu, and Chen Ju's official documents stated the difficulties he encountered on the northern route, including reefs, undercurrents, ice floes, and the ice age of the Heishui Ya Islands, and even provided how long a pot of water was frozen into ice on the open deck when the Heishui Ya Islands froze.

Yang Teng Xiang's letter is more comprehensive, with a focus on describing the typhoons that hit the southwest coast of North Asia in summer and autumn.

This is a very bad route, and Chen Mu's next job is to make conclusions about all the things that will happen after he leaves the Beiyang Military Palace, such as when the annual baggage fleet will set sail.

Chen Mu quickly checked the official documents Zhao Shizhen briefed the generals who participated in the military discussion on the side, in addition to the two official documents, there was also a private letter, which was sent by Xu Jue who returned to Beijing, Chen Mu pressed the private letter aside, and browsed the second letter from the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau, which said that they had finalized the new rocket experiment and could equip the troops.

Wanli five years to build Shenwei machine arrows divided into two categories, sea, land, a total of sea ship machine arrows, sea boat machine arrows, land infantry machine arrows, land car machine arrows four models, still use push, explosives, projectiles as the lethal force, cancel the arrow shaft using Chen Mu in two years ago proposed spiral plate boost, the range and stability have been greatly improved, the same can also load more gunpowder, but the poor accuracy of the drawback has not been eliminated.

In the letter, the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau had sold a total of 500 arrows of various types at a price of 3,400 taels of silver, and that the purchaser was Li Xi, the chief military officer stationed in Goa under the command of the Western Military Government, and that it had also purchased 1,400 Nanyang flintlock guns, 600 arrows of the Xiaoqi General Banner, 230 Zhenshuo General Cannons, and various types of ammunition to arm the fleet of General Qi Jimei, who commanded the Zhedong Bird Guns under his command.

The order of silver exceeded 30,000 taels, and I heard that it was Li Xi's fellow Huizhou businessman who served the military.

Hui merchants contributed to the war.

Chen Mu didn't say anything, just shook his head lightly and pressed the official letter to the side of the table, took the bamboo whip from Juniper's hand and pointed to the navigation chart behind him and said to the Beiyang generals in the hall: "In order to ensure that the sea water is not frozen when the baggage fleet passes through the Heishui Ya Islands, the best time to set sail is in late March, and after two to four months of offshore sailing, it will arrive at Majiagang on the other side of the ocean, which can avoid the most maritime risks and ensure that the baggage is intact." ”

"After arriving at Majiagang in the summer, he continued to sail south along the coast, and at that time Chen would set up ports, water villages, and land villages in the places where coastal affairs would live, and the baggage fleet would be replenished along the way. Due to the frequent typhoons in summer and autumn, it can only sail in the direction of Mexico after autumn, and return through the northern equatorial route in southern Mexico, with the destination of Guangzhou Province. ”

"In winter, sell the goods carried with the ship in Guangzhou or unload the required baggage at Weidao in the Nanyang Military Government, and raise a new phase of baggage all the way to Dagukou, where the ship should be changed and rested, and the sea ship in good condition set sail again."

"This is our standard baggage route, with four months each on the north and south routes to deal with accidents, and if there are no accidents, the baggage team can get enough rest." Chen Mu turned around as he spoke, and said to everyone: "But a single standard route is not enough, once there is a conflict, our department's consumption of baggage will increase dramatically, and no one can wait for a year, so there must be a second more adventurous route." ”

"This route, to set sail from Tianjin in late October, the Heishui Intar Islands is likely to freeze at that time, so the route is slightly southerly, and the navigation is more difficult, this route, Chen and the first phase of the Beiyang Flag Army together, will send the route back to the military government next year, and then push it back to the rule!"
