Chen Mu believes that these three people are rare technical talents, especially in the special period when the Oriental Military Government's goal is directly aimed at Europa, and the role they can play in the future is only unimaginable to anyone today.

Even if his estimation was wrong, it was nothing more than punishing two people less, and his temple blessing did not make any mistakes.

And Yang Tingxiang's mission is to use all the knowledge he has learned in his life during the months when the fleet allocated by the military government to Chen Jiujing sails to the Caribbean Sea, strengthen the training of the three people, and find some aborigines for them as followers, and initially build this special department that only stays in Chen Mu's consciousness.

In fact, Chen Mu didn't tell Chen Jiujing all his thoughts, Chen Jiujing is a general, so he will be a general step by step, maybe in the future he can get a higher level of official position than Chen Luan, the department that Chen Mu wants to set up is at least disgraceful in the Ming officialdom, and he doesn't want Yizi to come into contact with these things.

Therefore, he sent another soldier with a letter, and did not meet Yang Tingxiang until Chen Jiujing left Mexico City for Qilinwei.

The Governor of New Spain realized that the training of those three men was only one of Chen Mu's huge plans for Europe.

"The Europa Affairs Department of the Commerce Bureau of the Oriental Military Government of the Ming Empire is responsible for handling corporate matters for merchants going to Europa and assuming military responsibility."

In the silence of the night, even the tavern next to the Plaza de la Armed Forces in Mexico City had closed, and Yang Tingxiang, who was sitting in front of the desk, frowned, wrote the word company on paper with a pen in his hand, thinking about the meaning behind it.

He knows the Chamber of Commerce, but the Chamber of Commerce has always been based on the township party and co-organized by businessmen, for example, Chen Mu single-handedly ran the prosperity of Fujian, Guangzhou, but in Chen Mu's introduction, the company seems to be different from the Chamber of Commerce, Yang Tingxiang first wrote down the businessmen under the company, and then wrote the Chamber of Commerce above the company, and the idea gradually became clear.

"It is jointly funded by one or more businessmen, negotiated according to the share or the size of the contribution, based on capital, backed by force, and for the purpose of profit, and the profits are distributed according to the shares, and the wealth of Europa is earned, which is under the jurisdiction of the Europa Affairs Division of the Commerce Bureau of the Oriental Military Government."

In Yang Tingxiang's understanding, this form of Chen Mu's so-called 'company' is somewhat similar to Minguang Haikou.

It's not that the Minguang pirates are really like the concept of the company, but Yang Tingxiang thinks it is like it.

The introduction of the main Chen Mu is too inducing, and the funds are co-funded on the basis of funds, and this is how Lin Afeng bought ships and hired people in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian; With force as the backing, Lin Afeng's pirate brothers are Lin Afeng's backing; For the purpose of profit, not to mention, if you don't want to make money, what are the pirates trying to live and die with their heads hanging on their belts?

According to Chen Mu's company, the concept of 'company' was successfully equated with the 'pirate armed group' in the mind of Yang Tingxiang, the governor of New Spain.

"If a company needs to escort an escort during its operation in the waters under the jurisdiction of the East Coast of Asia to the Western Military Government, it may withdraw money to hire an official fleet or report to the Military Government to set up an armed fleet of the company. The strength of the fleet is divided into levels by the amount of corporate tax. ”

"If you need to purchase a warship, you can apply to the Commerce Bureau of the Oriental Military Government, and after review, the military government will purchase it according to the official price."

Well, Yang Tingxiang overturned the concept in his mind and added two words in front of this concept: the official office of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was a government-run pirate armed group.

"The Viceroy of New Spain is to set up an Oriental mercenary company in the condominium to house the retired flag army; The armed personnel of the escort fleet of each company can be paid by the company and sent to the mercenary company for unified training. ”

There is a word in the martial arts hall to describe this kind of thing, what is it called?

Yang Tingxiang tapped his forehead with his knuckles, looked at the flickering kerosene lamp with his eyes, suddenly raised his hand and nodded in the air in front of him, and said to himself: "By the way, the industrial chain." ”

The term of the contract for the military of the Oriental Military Government is actually less than four years, excluding training, which means that after two years, a large number of retired flag troops will inevitably be produced in the New World, and the officers who have grown up in the war may not leave the army, which will cause the army to be bloated, and the number of officers will increase, but the number of flag troops will be fixed at 56,000.

In addition to the army formation, if there is no large-scale fiasco, there will be more and more flag armies that are difficult to integrate into peace, and all problems can be solved by simply pulling the trigger on the battlefield, but this is not the case with peaceful life.

At least until they are cornered, the culprits who led them down this path can give them a chance to get back to their old jobs.

Mercenary companies are a great way to do it.

In connection with the recent affairs of the Oriental Military Government, it is not difficult for Yang Tingxiang to see that the so-called company is prepared for the upcoming Hui merchants and some Fujian and Guangzhou merchants, and it is obvious that when they come, the so-called Oriental mercenary company will be able to start making a profit.

If Chen Mu's plan to let Yang Tingxiang prepare for Shangjia's company approval, establish a mercenary company and build a commercial port on the east coast, and develop the shipbuilding industry means Chen Mu's vision for Europa, then the next standard rules for the armed fleet let Yang Tingxiang see Chen Mu's ambitions for Europa.

The company system is not in business under Chen Mu's planning, although their owners are a group of businessmen, it is obvious that they attach equal importance to business and military.

Commercially, the commercial tax of the Oriental Military Government was 20 percent and a half of the goods tariff and half of the transportation tax, and the goods were unloaded from Changsheng Port and transported to the east coast by the people of the villages and towns along the way, and the armed fleets of various companies were not allowed to sail to the west coast.

Under these conditions, the military government gave companies the right to lease land in New Spain, but the land could only be used to grow a small amount of grain and a large number of cash crops or to open factories, and was not allowed to be used for other purposes, such as building large mansions and large courtyards, and the leaseholders of the land were companies and not individuals.

Militarily, each company must install the flag army of the Oriental Army, and at first it only sent the flag army as a guide and to protect security, but as the company's trade volume increased, not only did the armed fleet expand with the annual tax amount, but the officers and flag soldiers who installed it would also purchase ships to join the company.

The Toyo military government is not involved in the operation, but collects taxes and controls the armed forces.

The minimum annual tax is 1,000 taels, and he is allowed to buy five small shark boats, ten two-pound cannons, and hire a hundred armed sailors; With an annual tax of 20,000 taels, he was allowed to buy ten small shark boats, two 400 shark boats, and hire 400 armed sailors.

In the end, the annual tax of one million taels is allowed to purchase ten Liujia-class warships, two Nantang-class warships and hire corresponding armed sailors, and the force of one company is equal to two guards.

Even if the Oriental Military Government collects a 30% tax, the current Yang Tingxiang does not think that any company will be able to get the financial resources to purchase Nantang-class warships, he feels that Chen Mu set this rule simply for people to see...... But if any company can hand over even one million taels to the imperial court a year, Yang Tingxiang feels that no one in the Manchu Dynasty will care about selling two Nantang ships.

Wan Li Ye may have sold the warship by jumping.

"Fix it, fix it."

Yang Tingxiang tore off the hair towel and raised his arms to scratch his head, frowning and muttering to himself: "New Spain has to build its own little shark boat, and the Nantang ship is estimated to not be able to sell it in this life, but the little shark boat, I'm afraid it will sell a lot!" ”
