Chen Mu didn't want these experts to leave, not a single one.

Regardless of which country they came from in the past, after these three years, they have become the most loyal warriors of the Ming Dynasty.

Humans can be guided.

In another era, there is a term called 'sunk cost', which means that when making decisions, people will not only consider the cost of the current decision, but also the cost of the past, even if the cost paid for it in the past is not related to the current decision.

And Chen Mu believes that most of them will not choose to leave when they have more choices. They have already made some achievements in Asia in the Ming Dynasty, and they will only increase their investment in the future, which is not real money, but their clan, tribe, life, and energy.

"Dashuai, I looked at the shipyard in Majiagang, it has begun to have a scale, five small sloops have been built, and two are being built, although they are all small boats, but Ma Shuai has planned at the beginning of the shipyard, and now the craftsmen are enough, as long as a group of apprentices who can understand the words are recruited from Ya Nian, and the shipyard will be repaired in the spring of next year, at most the first batch of 400 sea ships will be built next autumn."

Chen Mu listened to Yang Ting's report to the Majiagang Shipyard, nodded slowly, and then asked Yang Tingxiang: "What is the arrangement for the residence of the flag army?" ”

Arriving at Majiagang does not mean that everything is over, although all Chen Mu's preparations were focused on this voyage, but in fact, arriving at Majiagang was the beginning of trouble, Magui had already sent someone to sail along the coast with two boats to find Shao Tingda's fleet, hoping that he did not drift to the territory of Spain.

Although the heart of the reckless insect is a little fine in the roughness, but that little bit also depends on who to say to...... For his defeated Spaniards, I'm afraid he won't be fine.

Even if Chen Mu looks at the territory of the Spaniards again, he can't avoid Spain in the current trade, not to mention that there is still Seville's leased land that has not been collected, and once the war starts hastily, it will be all over.

No matter how ambitious you are, you must be down-to-earth at the moment, and it is only right to rule the tribes of North Asia first.

"There are more than 3,000 people sleeping on the boat, Chang Ji calculated, according to the existing construction period, all of them will get off the ship and move into the wooden house within ten days, it is a little colder, temporarily squeezed, we have a lot of people, mainly because the bricks can't keep up, the staff department wants to build two large brick factories first, and the establishment of various health centers in the future will also be free to use bricks."

"Yes, in the future, Majiagang will be the distribution center of the imperial court's goods in Asia within three years, and the bricks and tiles will be transported from here to the south, and two carriages and wooden tracks will be opened in the port, which will wait for the spring, but fortunately, the temperature here is not low."

The unique topography of Majiagang makes the temperature in this area slightly higher than that outside the surrounding snow-capped mountains, Chen Mu estimates that the lowest temperature here in winter is more than ten degrees below zero, which is much better than the place further north.

The only problem is that this is not suitable for the establishment of a big city, as a distribution and raw material processing place that is in winter for half the year, the workers cannot be too far away from the work area, otherwise it is not easy to travel when it is cold, and they can only live in a scattered manner.

"Brother Zhai wants to open a shoe shop in Majiagang, and wants to get Chen Shuai's permission."

Brother Zhai is the Shuangyu Ming man brought back by Yang Tingxiang from Spain, the river basin has been out for many years, and now people have been standing all their lives, making shoes all their lives, and returning to their hometown is not human, this time following Yang Tingxiang as a personal companion, I didn't expect to want to return to the old business here.

Chen Mu smiled: "It's no problem to do what you want to do, it just so happens that you are the director of the Ordnance Department and are in charge of these, but why do you want to make shoes here." ”

Yang Tingxiang himself was born in the Wutang Warship Department, and Chen Mu planned to let him build a new small clipper here, so he simply took over the military government's ordnance department.

"He looked at the leather of the Asian bison, and also looked at the big shoes worn by the Majiagang Flag Army, thinking that there was neither the beauty of the uniform nor the warmth, and he was able to return to his homeland by the imperial court to go to the East, and he always wanted to repay the favor and want to contribute to the Flag Army."

"It's quite an honor for the family and the country, yes! But if you want to do it, you can make it bigger, even leather jackets, leather pants, and leather boots, all of which have been made for me, and the name is called, just called, and it is called the Oriental Military Uniform and Boots Factory, and the leather jackets, leather jackets, leather pants, and leather boots produced must all be embroidered with the name of the Oriental Military Government! ”

"First make military boots and military uniforms, all in the style of Beiyang military uniforms, double leather inside and outside, cowhide on the outside, rabbit skin on the inside to be hairy, must meet the flag army wear before it can be sold to the country, you ask him if he is willing."

Yang Tingxiang was said to be blind, he didn't understand what Chen Mu was talking about, and said: "Chen Shuai, he is a shoemaker, he has been in Spain and Portugal for more than ten years, and the guests go to him, measure the foot, and get shoes after the month, you let him meet the needs of the flag army...... He doesn't have to live for 400 years, right? ”

"I asked him to open a factory, hire craftsmen, make exactly the same boots and jackets by hand, and make a few samples according to the height and length of the flag army, and then everyone made them according to these sizes, and let each hundred households give orders to the flag army, and everyone should use a tape measure to measure the size of their height and arm length."

"Guangzhou's shoe shop street and clothing shop street are sold like this, he has lived overseas for a long time and doesn't know, and you don't know?"

Yang Tingxiang pursed his lips, bowed his head and said: "Chen Shuai, there are tailors in the student's family, and I haven't bought clothes, shoes and boots outside...... I really don't know. ”

Chen Mu stared at the two and blinked, he really didn't know what to say, you tell people about life in the market, people don't know what the market is when they raise craftsmen in their own homes, do you say that these guys with wealth in ancient times are not angry?

"Okay, you have a tailor at home, you just tell Brother Zhai, take him to the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau, they know how to build a factory and how to operate, let him learn, you can also learn, you can't be in charge of the Ordnance Bureau."

"In addition, there is another thing, there is a fire well in Majiagang, you remember to send a letter to Nanyang in the merchant who returned with the ship, and send some Sichuan salt boilers next year, I want the best craftsman."

The so-called fire wells are oil wells or natural gas wells, which were discovered by Magui's patrol flag army very accidentally, but whether it is oil or natural gas, Chen Mu does not know now, if it is oil, their kerosene will not need to be resupplied in the future, but there is no better way to use it at the moment, and more research is needed.

"There's one more thing, forget it, let's talk about it when I finish seeing Fu Yuan first, he said that he has something to do with Spain to find me, you can go and get busy first."

Chen Mu wants to say that they use rubber soles to make leather boots, but at the moment they don't have rubber, and the researchers in Nanyang use the sulfur proposed by Chen Mu and the Hu powder they added themselves when using Eucommia ulmoides glue, which can make the rubber vulcanized, but the current demand is very small, so naturally there is not much production.

Now guarding Asia, rubber trees are over there, it should be easy to get, Chen Mu plans to plant them in Qiongzhou and Luzon next year.

Yang Tingxiang said goodbye for a long time, and Fu Yuan, who was waiting, walked in with his brain, still with the smile on his face when he was the flag army with Chen Mu, and hung the bear hair into the wooden house, and looked left and right before closing the door, then walked to Chen Mu's side and whispered: "Second master, my subordinates have a big event to report to you!" ”
