In Chen Mu's eyes, the most important thing is politics, and the military, economy, and culture are nothing more than an extension of politics and a means.

When the military, economy, and culture of Luzon are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, then where is Luzon?

Li Yuxi's ability is very great, less than half a month after Zhao Shizhen explained to look for booksellers and papermakers, the ship from Guangzhou arrived at Macheng Bay with the people Chen Mu needed, and soon opened a paper trough workshop and a printing workshop in Manila, and with the funding of the Nanyang Yamen, hired people and purchased raw materials with extremely high efficiency.

Zhao Shizhen was busy, and took the Jinyi school captain who had not found anything to look for suitable books in the book mountain transported from the Ming Dynasty, and sent them to the printing workshop, so that the craftsmen could arrange the movable type boards, check and fill in the gaps, and the movable types that were not available were melted out of the lead.

The first set of books printed by the Macheng Printing Workshop was the Three Character Classic, which was a little different from the Three Character Classic of the Ming Dynasty, with the addition of some loyalty and brainwashing such as 'respecting the Heavenly Dynasty and serving the emperor', and it was popularized in the social studies built by various tribes near the capital, although there were still few students at this time, and only the children of rich and noble families in Luzon could go to school.

This is because the taxes in the country have not yet been decided, there are too many remote mountainous areas, and some tribal leaders are still considering whether to worship Suleiman as king, and progress is relatively slow.

However, the work of measuring acres of land in his current hands is about to be completed, and there are more fields than Chen Mu imagined.

There are more fields to be cultivated than expected, and all in all, Luzon still has a good future.

If the tax is set in the future, if it is possible, Chen Mu wants to take advantage of the situation of various ministries landing in a sparsely populated and small country to pick up a group of children from Guangdong Nursing Home to go to school with local children, and implement free enlightenment borne by the taxes of Luzon.

"The most famous printing families in the world are in Wuxi, Suzhou, and Changzhou, and they don't use wooden type, but lead or copper."

On the way to the port, Zhao Shizhen mentioned that printing was like a few treasures, after all, before he met Chen Mu, he could barely be regarded as a special writer for the lace tabloid in Beijing, and he also arranged Chen Mu, and he was clear about the things in this industry, and said: "Wood, lead, copper, each has its own advantages and disadvantages." ”

"The size of the wooden movable type is different from the water, but the cost is low, simple and easy to do, and the printed handwriting is not in line; Lead movable type prints well, but is prone to errors; Copper movable type is the best printed, but the cost is high, and only Jingshi and Jiangnan use copper. ”

"In other places, even if there is this technology, there is no such capital."

Chen Mu nodded his head, watched the craftsman make movable type, understood the process roughly, walked out of the printing workshop and said to Zhao Shizhen: "The cost is on the one hand, the literary style in the south of the Yangtze River is prevalent, and it is more wealthy than the literary style prevailing in the side, and the demand is large, so the cost can be considered less, even if it costs how much copper can cost." ”

"In Guangcheng, 100 catties of cooked copper is only ten taels of silver, and the basic movable type is not used for a full count, because the natural development and exchange of technology is too slow, and it is limited by the traffic of the land."

The technology of this era is like gunpowder, Fujian uses granules, Guangdong uses powder, and even the two adjacent Wei, the composition and power of gunpowder are very different. This county is responsible for steelmaking, while other counties can only burn iron, because of the distance and transportation conditions, the natural technology exchange progress is extremely slow.

It is precisely because of the slowness that a craftsman may live in a small world within a radius of 100 miles for the rest of his life, which will inevitably lead to a technological monopoly, not because people deliberately hide it, but because he will starve to death if he shares the technology.

"The powerful can implement technology, I can let the Guangdong military households use Xu Erjin's gunpowder, but I can't help the culture and most of the technology, these things are forcefully implemented in the past, and many people will starve to death."

Chen Mu paced forward, glanced at Zhao Shizhen, pursed his lips and did not speak. He has long wanted to do this thing, and he wants to compile a book like Tiangong Kaiwu at this time, he has more power than Song Yingxing, if he uses his strength to implement it, he can completely make Daming look new at the technical level.

But Zhao Shizhen can't do this thing, it's no problem for him to compile a universal data, and the implementation of technology needs to be ruthless.

He's too young, and although he does things neatly, he prefers to play around with technology nerds after all, and it's not a problem to make a big fireworks and play with artillery battles, but let him push this matter, and he can't do it well.

Since there was no one at the moment, Chen Mu simply didn't think about it, he raised his eyes to look at the port, and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, the warship has just entered the bay!" ”

The newly built warship of Nanyang Wei arrived, and last night Chen Mu received a letter from Sun Ao sent by Sun Ao on Chenlai Island, saying that the warship would rest on Chenlai Island for one night and would be able to enter the port this afternoon. These six thousand-material shark ships made Chen Mu look forward to it, and with them, Chen Mu had the confidence to put Salcedo back and ask for debts.

Six red and black lacquered shark ships entered the harbor with incomparable momentum, the ship was waving flags, and there was also a thousand flag troops with them, and after abandoning the bow and stern, they all adopted double-layer artillery decks, and their ability to engage in broadside combat was extremely weak, but there were 20 guns on each side of the ship, and the artillery combat ability was very strong.

The warship of this shape was named the Chihai class by Chen Muding.

The Chihai-class battleships were set at more than 1,000 materials and less than 1,500 materials, equipped with 30 to 45 guns, 150 to 200 sailors, and could use 20 large oars for a short row when needed.

The disadvantage is that there are too many things loaded on the ship, there is not much place to store food and sundries, the combat radius is not large, and the food ship needs to be supplied to fight long distances.

Chen Mu's positioning of the Chihai ship is that it will be the main battleship of the Ming Dynasty for a long time before the Guangdong shipyard eats the San Pablo.

He knew very well where his advantages were, so he never planned to spend a few years building a cannon ship like the twenty or thirty zhang Fengzhou Treasure Ship when the technology was not yet complete, although it may not be impossible to build it, but such a warship did not meet his needs.

If he was fighting against the Spanish fleet, especially with a partial division, he would prefer to use a slightly smaller ship, more artillery, two or three ships to sink a large enemy ship directly, rather than a one-to-many.

He has more manpower and more productivity, and even more resources, not to mention that the Nanjing Ministry of Industry is still helping him build ships, even if it is only in Guangdong, it may not be slower than other countries to start shipbuilding.

That's his strength.

Six large ships docked in the bay, the garrison on the shore had rowed more than a dozen small boats to pick up people back, and Chen Mu rode Bai Mei with a telescope to look at the warships on the shore.

In the field of vision, a kind of lean-looking thin old man in the Guangdong flag army mixed with a hat and a coat got off the boat tremblingly in a small boat, carrying a broken bamboo basket and carrying a few fish, seeing Chen Mu's happy expression here, he straightened up and patted the mud on the coat, and walked quickly.

The old man came to find him, Chen Mu knew when he saw his expression, and specially asked the family not to stop him, and dismounted and asked, "Old man, are you going to sea to fish and encounter a shipwreck?" ”

"Shipwrecked? Old man Hai Rui. ”

The old man lowered his head to look at the straw sandals he had pulled up half of his trousers and pedals, and wanted to hand over the fish to the family but found that the family members were looking at him with their noses, so he simply put the fish on the back basket and put it on the ground, arched his head high, and gave the order: "Is it Chen Shuai, the minister of Nanyang?" In Xiaqiongshan Hairui, he was ordered by the king to cross the shogunate of Haishiguan. ”

"This morning on Chenlai Island, I fished two for Chen Shuai."

In the bamboo basket, the two fish jumped weakly, their eyes like those of a donkey who stood on the spot.
