"I want to do a lot of things before I set sail, but some things I have to do after I leave, your heart is moved, but I won't tell you."

Chen Mu pointed at Zou Yuanbiao with a serious expression, and then said to the remaining four: "When you set sail, you will know what you are going to do." Now it's the four of you, you don't know much about America, even Chen doesn't know much, and even Ma Shuai, who has set foot on that land, doesn't know much. ”

Chen Mu no longer has to say anything to Zou Yuanbiao, because what Zou Yuanbiao thinks and the starting point of what he thinks about Chen Mu already understands.

He played because his heart was moved, and his nature firmly told him that it was the right thing to do.

He is happy and unburdened, because his previous identity was to observe government affairs, so he observed government affairs wholeheartedly, and now his identity is the Amerika County Decree under the control of Beiyang, so naturally he only thinks about the affairs of the Amerika County Order.

This is the so-called other people chopping wood and thinking about carrying water, carrying water and thinking about cooking, cooking rice and thinking about carrying water, he only wants to chop wood, he only wants to carry water, and he only wants to cook rice.

Chen Mu knew that Zou Yuanbiao's psychology was extremely healthy and his intellectual development was perfect, which was enough.

The rest of Chen Mu didn't need it, so naturally he didn't have to care.

"What we know is that North Asia Melica is far away from the coastline of the Ming Dynasty in Canghai, and there is no less than the land of the Ming Dynasty, at least 10 million people, and there are people who look similar to us, and the internal problems of the imperial court will be slowly solved, but that land can solve the problems that the Ming Dynasty cannot solve for the time being, like the South Seas."

Canghai is the East China Sea, and it can also be used to refer to the Cangming Sect now, the so-called Cangming Sect is not Chen Mu's statement, but the original saying, the word Cangming is mostly seen in the Zheng He era, which actually means 'the sea, and it is very deep. ’

Together with Zong, it is the largest and deepest sea.

They knew that Nanyang, although the imperial court had only been at sea for a few years, and the beginning of this national policy had originated from a small general army in those years, but in a few years it had become an indispensable national policy of the country, and the Nanyang military government existed in a way that had rarely been tried in the past, that is, the integration of military, government, and business, and delivered a large number of benefits to the imperial court every year.

What the imperial court needs does not have to pay the slightest policy influence, and everything can be supplied within the military government.

The benefits transferred to the imperial court were not important to the people, but more and more merchants from the private sector were involved, and every time the military government gained a place to surrender, more goods were transported back to China through the merchants, and in this respect, the whole empire that began with the Jiajing Dynasty was more inward-looking towards the sea.

The Jiajing Dynasty was a maritime merchant who was both a pirate, so the woe was difficult to stop, and the Wanli Dynasty was a pirate and a maritime merchant, and under the policy of maritime expansion, the interests of the government and the people were pointed to one place.

As for the real impact on the people, there are almost very few, but the real influence is great in all aspects.

Thanks to the large influx of gemstones from Nanzhu and Lion Country into the market, the habit of people wearing pearls and jade gemstones is flourishing; The banquets in Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangzhou are more abundant, and there are more and more types of food for people; The prices of cotton cloth and other goods are even lower, and higher productivity is spreading from Guangdong, Suzhou and Hangzhou to other places.

In terms of upgrading the productive forces, the merchants had a higher sense of smell than the common people, as early as when the steam engine in Guangzhou was not sold and had to rely on the strong implementation of the government, there were Hui merchants who tried to buy it, but they did not use it to weave silk, but to print books.

Of all the changes, the most striking was naturally the large number of people who became rich with the expansion of the seas.

The desperate little man took seven or eight relatives and friends, sold the land to borrow relatives and friends, bought a small boat with a hundred materials, and casually pulled a boatload of goods and went to sea for a long voyage. Half a year and a year later, I don't know where to return to my hometown, buy a farmhouse, marry a wife, have children, and be wealthy with my travel, and become a big businessman who buys ships and leads thousands of family dollars, and can ship in Yuegang.

This kind of story is circulated in every corner of the coast and has become a topic of conversation after dinner.

But if you really want these five people from Jinshi to tell in detail what the real 'Nanyang' is, they don't know, no one knows.

As for the Great Orient, America? There was confusion on everyone's face.

"First of all, there will be many countries with a population of 10 million, maybe not countries, because their development is extremely backward and still in ignorance, and now the Europa people have landed in a big way, and they call the aborigines there Indians, because they read the books of the previous dynasty and think that it is India, and they are only one step away from the Great Khan."

"Because the Europa people have weapons, in most cases stronger than the local natives, plundering and enslaving the natives, using them to weave silk, mine, cut wood, dig, and earn a lot of wealth to enrich the national strength, I am not saying that the Ming will liberate the local natives, and you have not set things right in the past."

"Although it is true that we will liberate them and set things right, it is not the duty of the Toyo Military Government to do so, because before that, what awaits us is danger."

"Ma Shuai's soldiers explored from the north to the east, took advantage of the freezing of the sea to land on the northern ice field of the America, lacked warm clothing and food, six or seven out of ten dead and wounded, more than a year have struggled between life and death, and now they are migrating south, only to have a foothold in every square inch, if China argues, he landed in Hanhai, at this time has settled in Saibei."

"Chen Gonggong of the Imperial Horse Supervisor led the fleet to Ma Shuai, and when we returned, we had a small part of the northern coast surveyed; Yang Junzan of the Guangzhou Lecture Wutang sailed to Europa with the fleet after the imperial court signed the Mingxi Treaty, and when he returned, he brought back a large number of coastal routes, and the richest part of the land had been seized by the Europa, so you saw the night drill of the Beiyang cavalry. ”

"That land is so big, under the grabbing and encroachment of many countries in Europa, what remains is poor and remote land with little interest, we are decades behind them, and if we want to get a piece of the pie at this time, there will definitely be a war."

"And there's smallpox over there."

The faces of the five people were different, but to Chen Mu's surprise, starvation, war and disease did not show the slightest fear on their faces, some were only more cautious, and even Chen Mu's words seemed to make them make up their minds.

Several people looked at each other, Shen Sixiao pursed his lips and slowly arched his hand, and said, "But Chen Shuai, there is silver there, there is silver, right?" ”

The five gentlemen each looked at Chen Mu very seriously and waited for him to answer, Chen Mu nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, there is silver, not only silver, but also countless interests, the land can be used for farming, trees can be cut down to make ships, mines can be excavated, you may not be able to return to the court for the rest of your life, but as long as you work hard there, even if you don't become a governor in the future, you can make the three generations worry-free." ”

Shen Sixiao shook his head at first, and then nodded heavily: "Silver and bronze must be contested, and the imperial court coinage cannot be left outside. Chen Shuai rest assured, the local people are free and educated, and they still look up to Chen Shuai for the war! ”

Chen Mu laughed dumbly when he said this, your uncle, I will talk to you about profit, you talk to me about righteousness, who will you use as a villain?

But it is true that silver has become a currency acquiesced by the state, and the right to mint must not be lost abroad.

He smiled and said, "The local people are Yidi who can be educated, and those who enslave them are beasts, and we must drive out the beasts and educate them." For the next few months on the ship, you will learn how to interpret and learn a few books that have been translated by the military, vaccinate against cowpox, survive, swim, do firearms, and drink and drink tea. ”

"Plum wine and tea are good for sea navigation."
