The impact of the inspection of the settled villages was quite large, but in just two days, the order of the county magistrate Zou Yuanbiao was promulgated, and the local governor Jiashou Xiangyong joined the patrol force as a supplementary force to help the people solve all kinds of problems.

People are happy in it, the first head to help the villagers and neighbors, no one has complained, and the inspection help will more intuitively affect their promotion and work more energetically.

At least in Acapulco, the people were accustomed to the presence of the Ming army, and in Xu Wei's words, Chen Mu had taken the hearts of the people here.

Wanli Ya Tongbao appeared here, and in a very short time it became a circulating and perfect alternative to the local currency cocoa bean system, of course, there were drawbacks.

Wanli Tongbao has depreciated cocoa beans a lot, and the cocoa beans are equivalent to 100 cocoa beans a day for decades, and now cocoa beans are affected by Wanli Tongbao and market pricing, and it is not feasible to buy things with cocoa beans.

The market and currency are controlled by the Ming army, the major shops do not accept cocoa beans as currency, between the people and the people, cocoa beans to exchange Wanli Tongbao has also become difficult, at first a 20 denomination of Tongbao can be exchanged for ten cocoa beans, but a price a day, soaring to 200 cocoa beans can not be exchanged for a Tongbao.

The people no longer recognized the cocoa bean as a currency, and this change was not a problem for the people of Acapulco.

In the past, their market economy was destroyed by the rules set by the Westerners, and the main labor force of the family stayed in the hometown for less than 40 days a year, and the other family members also ran to the master's house every day, with almost no personal property.

The present situation is just an imbalance in the minds of a few exempt chiefs who had been excluded from the Spanish levy system in the past, but they were the ones who had a vested interest in the present situation—most of them served as lieutenants by virtue of their prestige by blood, and they collected the taxes of the 110 households on their behalf, and under the regulations of the Oriental military government, the lieutenant chief could have 5 percent of the taxes as a salary.

However, this change is not so friendly to outsiders.

It had been a while since Chen Mu ordered people to issue invitations to all the tribal leaders under the control of the Ming army, from the Blackwater Islands in the north to Panama in the south, and the news of the Ming army's successive defeats of the Spaniards also spread in all directions with the fast horses, and the tribal chiefs who were close had already arrived at the port, and those who were far away were also on their way.

They didn't just come to pay their respects to Chen Mu, or they traveled a long way to play.

For example, the White Horse Chieftain, who had fought side by side with Shao Tingda and was named after him on the battlefield, was powerful, prestigious, and manpowered, and organized a well-equipped infantry and horse team of 140 people with seven surrounding tribes, carrying goods and nearly 100,000 cocoa beans after a long journey of more than half a month to arrive at the port.

People heard that there was a market for the Ming army in Acapulco, and as long as they were willing to serve the Ming Emperor on the other side of the ocean, they could be protected and traded.

The white horse came to do business, and he was extremely greedy for the Ming army's birds, bows and arrows, armor and cavalry, but he didn't see Chen Mu on the first day of arrival and planned to go back, but he was persuaded by Shao Tingda to talk badly.

"One hundred thousand!" Wearing a rib jacket stitched with bones and animal skins, wearing a turkey feather crown and wearing Spanish stockings on his legs, and a Western-style leather boot that was not too hot, the old man on the white horse pointed to the tall horse parked at the entrance of the Daojun Temple, and then pointed to the door of the No. 4 shop, and said angrily: "Ten taels! ”

The White Horse's team was a fierce horse, all Andalusian horses, and his guards were all dressed in Western-style armor, which, though some of them showed signs of tearing and piercing, was more intimidating to the other tribes in the New World than the undamaged armor—it was a trophy that showed that the owner of the trophy had defeated the Spaniards.

100,000 cocoa beans is a huge amount of money, enough to buy a thousand slaves, go to the market to buy things, the market does not want cocoa beans, let him go to the fourth shop, and when he arrives at the fourth store, 100,000 cocoa beans can be exchanged for ten taels of silver.

Thinking of the slaves, the white horse lord was even more angry, first pointing to the slaves he brought, and then to the shop, and said angrily: "One hundred, don't accept it!" ”

This is not the end, the more you say it, the more angry you become, the Chinese of the white horse will be 'kill', 'win', 'don't fight', 'friend', this is all learned in the Shao Tingda garrison on the bank of the White Horse River, the Spanish master of the white horse will know, but it is not good to say, and if you are anxious, you will just say the wrong.

He was wearing a leather coat tightly covered and wearing a large feather crown to get hot, but the more he talked, the more urgent, the hotter the hotter, the more wrong, the more wrong, the more urgent, so that the tribal riders behind pulled out the Spanish swords.

The patrol archers standing straight on the street were immediately ready to shoot their arrows, and the ringing was about to hit the sky in the blink of an eye, and the armor heads scattered in the surrounding street markets also drew their weapons, and according to their daily training, they did not find the commander within the visual range of their eyes, so they approached the patrol archers and formed a formation.

In a tense manner, Shao Tingda turned around and waved his hand to the patrol archers, and then turned back to the White Horse Chief and said slowly in Spanish: "Don't worry, everything is changing these days, they give you 200 beans for 20 Tongbao is already giving face to the White Horse Chief, even if I take the beans to exchange, I can't exchange 200 Tongbao without 300." ”

"Your people will go to camp with the goods first, and I will tell the commander about this, don't make trouble."

Only Shao Tingda could stabilize the mood of the White Horse Chieftain, he thought about it and asked his subordinates to tell Chen Mu what happened here, and he took two guards to accompany the White Horse to the planned camp to prevent any more trouble.

There are not many people in the White Horse, but there are eight tribal leaders, and they can gather 3,000 troops, which is tens of thousands of troops, which should not be taken lightly.

The matter was reported to Chen Mu by the sick Yang'er, and he was also blinded: "100,000 cocoa beans, he is not afraid of melting on a hot day?" ”

Who would have thought that there would be this one, at first Chen Mu thought that the price of Agang was uneven, and many tribal leaders would suffer losses when they came to buy and sell, but he didn't expect that others would bring a large number of cocoa beans, which was the most depreciated thing.

Sick Yang'er pouted and nodded: "It's all good beans, baked, don't you want to change the price of goods?" The nephew looks at them...... It's pathetic. ”

It's really pitiful, Chen Mu's black-hearted ghost price itself makes the buyer suffer a lot, buy a turkey and give people 20 tongbao, put it into the restaurant to make 20 plates of spicy fried turkey meat and a plate of 10 tongbao, and the diners eat very hard.

"No, prices can't change, this is faith."

Chen Mu turned around and paced in the official hall with his hands behind his back, and said, "Now that the tribes outside have changed prices, what will the people of the port think in the future?" Whether the price is high or low, the people can't change it if they recognize you, and if you don't have faith, you won't be able to do anything in the future. ”

"They came and brought a lot of horses, and the mare in it, which the fourth store can collect, five taels each; The slaves they brought with them could also be collected by the fourth shop, one hundred tongbao per person, no, eighty. The rest of the goods are as usual, let Shao Shuai bring the eight leaders to meet me. ”
