Li Dan brought Hua Yu and followed Chen Mu to prepare to discuss arms procurement with the three kings of Sulu, and he returned to Ryukyu by boat, and there were still a lot of merchants in Japan who wanted him to take care of him, and he couldn't get out of here.

Chen Mu was involved in Sulu's work of compiling books and teaching the crown prince, which was of great significance to him.

He didn't know that God was middle-aged and worried about Lu Timidity, and he would be happier if he knew.

Books are the ladder of people's progress, but on the other hand, many times books are also the best channel for spreading and influencing ideas, what does it mean for Chen Mu to be taught by Zhang Juzheng that the prince will change the Yuan Wanli in the future?

He can not only influence the future heirs of the empire, but also broaden the horizons of those who have actually been in charge of the empire for more than a decade after that.

Is there anything better in the world? If he really let him govern the country, he doesn't have that kind of talent, but he can teach these two people what he knows, and the sooner they realize the world pulled into by the ocean, the sooner they will have a better impact on the world of China.

This is far better than Chen Mu fighting alone overseas.

At this point, Chen Mu sees very clearly, this is actually a cultural exchange, he himself is the holder of another culture, and he is the only one in the world. The current Guangdong is the product of his integration with the world, if the entire Ming Dynasty can be integrated with him, then the short-term result is good or bad.

Sea power, the history of Western countries, the Great China Imperial Circle, the new era of kings and kings, world wealth, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, new weapons and tactics, encouraging scientific and technological progress, and even Chen Mu ate bear heart and leopard gall to leave Zhang Juzheng with a topic - how to complete the improvement of overseas wealth to the living standards of the people in the country.

Because he will only go to the Ming Dynasty to hold money, gold, silver, copper, iron, wood and yellow, and even in the future, the precious tortoiseshell pearls will join the ranks of the Ming Dynasty's treasure ships, but he doesn't know how to transform these things into actual national strength.

He had no experience in governing the Empire, but Zhang Juzheng did, and if Zhang Juzheng knew enough, these wise ministers would be the ones who could really lead the Empire to the age of steam.

In April of the seventh year of Longqing, Chen Mu, who met with the envoy of Borneo in the Sulu Islands, received a message from Nanyangwei at the same time, and the Taoist priest of the Xinhui Dragon and Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun Taoist Temple blew up countless Dan furnaces and did not get anything useful, but the little Taoist priest adopted by the Taoist Temple made a vision when playing with copper wires and magnets, and was made up by the Taoist priest of the mountain to make up a set of theories about what cathode and anode, called Taiji Zhengyi.

Send a pair of things that look like the leaves of an electric fan, place magnets at the four corners, and put iron blades on it to push it and it will not stop.

Chen Mu flipped through the book sent by the Taoist priest and looked at the big fan, but he didn't understand what was written on it.

This made him feel that it was not enough to rely on Taoist priests to fool around, and it was too difficult to support all this without theory, so he simply sent the thing to the Ministry of Industry, with information such as carbonized bamboo silk that he knew, and offered a reward, if anyone could make a light bulb and make this thing light up, he would be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver.

Then Chen Mu left the matter behind him, because the letter sent by Guan Yuangu told him that the steam engine had been put into use, and the Nanyang Guard Weapons Bureau had made a very large, cumbersome steam engine that could drive twenty-six looms to make silk day and night.

The factory, located in the barracks, needed only nine workers to check the wiring in three shifts, and the output could be compared to twenty-six workers.

But it is still in the experimental stage, because the cost of water and fire for a steam engine is equal to the food and wage of seventeen workers—the steam engine is still only meaningful, not useful.

Compared with this kind of machinery that seems to be so ambitious, the development of water turbines in the hands of Guangdong merchants is extremely gratifying, and water conservancy machinery has grown savagely in this land for 1,600 years, this time by the Guangdong local vigorously promoted, so that from Guangzhou Mansion as the center to spread to the surrounding areas.

After the initial results of the promotion, the clever businessmen began to study how to make greater use of water power, and with the government's funding to encourage improvements, they made rapid progress, and people began to study how to use water power more favorably to improve the wheels.

This way of teamwork is far better than Chen Mu's silent efforts in the past, and the productivity of all walks of life has been slightly improved based on this.

What makes Chen Mu happiest is that the government-run wool workshop in Xuanfu has sold things all over the world, and even Guangdong could see the wool produced in Xuanfu last winter - of course, not many people wear it.

It's not about the temperature, the winter in Guangdong is also quite cold, the key is the price, and most of the people who can't afford to wear it and can afford it also have better measures to keep out the cold.

This spring, Chen Mu lived very well in Sulu, not only set up the three kings of Sulu, but also under the repeated requests of the three kings, they granted the official position of commander of the eastern, western, and eastern three guards of Sulu in the Ming Dynasty, and also summoned the envoys of the muddy country in Sulu to convey their intentions like them, and at the same time set up three guards in the muddy country.

There are many people who lead the training, 100 households are 1000 households, 1000 households are commanders, Sulu State is to promote more than a dozen small 100 households, and Huni State is to directly send Fu Yuan over and let him take his thousands of households to train troops on the spot.

Chen Lan has another official position, the official title is the commander of the Nanyang countries, governing Luzon Macheng, controlling the four countries and ten guards under it, and the Nanyang capital has seven or eight commanders and Tongzhi, such as the Ming Dynasty commander Tongzhi and Luzon King Suleiman; Characters such as the commander of the Ming Dynasty and the commander of the Sulu Eastern Guard.

This is the only commander in the Ming Dynasty who commands the same knowledge and is a vassal king.

The progress of gunboat technology allowed local shipwrights to further innovate their technology and build larger ships to carry goods.

In the reorganization of the coalition forces in various places, Chen Mu received a letter from Yizi from the Ryukyu Kingdom again in late May of the seventh year of Longqing after a lapse of three months, but this time it was intelligence.

The plan could not catch up with the change, and the Spaniards intervened in the Japanese melee.

"Last year, Chen stretched out a middle finger to Xiyi, and this year they also returned a middle finger to Chen."

On the Chihai ship, Chen Mu took the letter and handed it to Xu Wei, and said: "New Spain on the other side of the ocean, their governor didn't see last year's treasure ship, and sent a fleet to inquire about the situation, and when he went to Japan, he seemed to know the ins and outs, forcing Ryuzoji to imprison our merchants, and also sold artillery to Ryuzoji - it was really the right way to let Hachiro go to Ryukyu." ”

Xu Wei took a cursory look at it and said to Chen Mu: "They want to supply the harbor, most of which is the same as what Chen Shuai wants to support the princes. ”

Xu Wei got to the point, which made Chen Mu very interested.

To the west of him was old Spain; to the east, New Spain; In the middle of this is the Ming Nanyang Capital Division Ten Guards are being trained, and huge warships are sliding from the dock into the ocean.

"Let Hachi try their skills!"
