Chen Mu encountered the dilemma that Li Yuxi said, not because there was no charter, but because it was really difficult to come up with a charter.

Two things, one is the construction of the Panama Grand Canal, and the other is the construction of the Muhe Railway.

He needs math and he doesn't know it, so what can he do?

Of course, it is to find the person with the best mathematics and let him work for himself, in Chen Mu's circle of contacts, the best in mathematics is the head of the Ming Empire Sect University, Zhu Zaiyu, the son of King Zheng.

However, it is a little difficult for Chen Mu to find the prince of Zheng Wang, that is, it is difficult for Chen Mu to communicate normally without 'disturbing' the other party...... In the whole of Asia and even the whole world, mentioning Chen Mu's name will shock a few times, especially for those kings who were beaten to the point of crying dad and mother, yes, they are talking about Fei Lao Er.

But the prince of Zheng Fan has long been detached from low-level interests, and regards power and money as dung.

Chen Mu once suspected that the prince of the world also looked at him like dung—especially after he didn't provide dormitories for the Sect University and meals for the Sect University.

On the way back to Changsheng from the east coast, from the time he disembarked at Daxi Port, the 25 cavalry of the Beiyang cavalry drove forward and the 25 cavalry rear, and 25 Beiyang infantry with new bird guns on the left and right accompanied and escorted.

Behind Juniper, who was accompanying him on the side, the personal soldier Baihu Liandou raised the flag according to the sword, and the two chief flag officers marched forward with the flag on their backs...... The pro-soldier team carried two carts of baggage, and was extremely cautious along the road.

Even Yang Tingxiang felt that his head was big when he saw this battle when he was one hundred and twenty miles east of Mexico City.

Chen Dashuai is too cautious,

Of course, as a subordinate, Governor Yang is not good at saying anything in public, although Zhao Shizhen has been on the boat for more than half a year, not only has he not become well-behaved but has jumped even more, but this is indeed a great shock to others - Asia is changing with each passing day, especially for Yang Tingxiang, if he is allowed to go to sea for half a year, I am afraid that he will not know where it is when he comes back.

He held it all the time, and greeted Chen Mu until he entered the aisle of the Governor's Palace in Mexico City before whispering to Chen Mu: "Don't worry, Dashuai, all the way along the way, it is very safe." ”

"Chen has already seen it, he has been in Muye for a few months, and when he comes back, a fenced building has been built next to the official road in New Spain, and I feel at ease when I see this building...... Changed the door, this door is good, the door of the Spaniards was too expensive before. ”

Chen Mu said as he pushed open the extremely tall wooden door built in the mansion at the end of the corridor of the Governor's Palace, with extremely tall and wired feet and skirts to draw mountains and rivers, put the helmet on the table, sat down and said: "This time I came back to Liandou not only to protect me, but also to protect the materials I got back from Panama and Makino, and it is mostly related to the engineering technology of smelting steel, building roads and bridges, and digging tunnels, even if Chen loses them, he can't lose them." ”

Chen Mu told the truth, Xu Zhenming brought back a lot of data from Panama that needed to be calculated, and the construction of the Muhe Railway was the same, and more importantly, the tunnel of the riverside iron factory, which was something that really needed to be tested and calculated.

Large-scale experiments and large-scale calculations, the former is easy to say, and the latter Chen Mu has no bottom in his heart.

He stretched out his waist in the chair, his outstretched arm finally fell back to the helmet on the table, and with the other hand he took the teacup handed by Yang Tingxiang, looked at the governor of New Spain and asked, "Tell me, how did the wall come to this place?" ”

Yang Tingxiang smiled brightly when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed.

Does this make him say anything, boast about himself?

Since the withdrawal of Alva, who fought against Spain, Yang Tingxiang has taken control of Mexico, with both military and economic advantages, and Spain's West Indies Affairs Council seems to have abandoned the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

"Back to the Marshal, next year a law will be enacted in New Spain that stipulates that the salaries of the members of the Spanish Council for West Indian Affairs shall be paid by Mexico City." Speaking as if he was afraid that his words would make Chen Mu misunderstand, Yang Tingxiang explained: "The Governor's Mansion has granted a total of sixteen official positions to the Western Envoy Commander, Counselor, Scrivener, Criminal Cao, and Supervisor on behalf of the Imperial Court, and the highest Western Envoy Commander is Zheng Liupin. ”

Chen Mu drank the tea in his mouth and almost squirted out of the table: "The Indian Affairs Committee is a real power department in the western country, and the officials are very high-level, do you think the king of Spain is also a positive five-grade person?" ”

The names of the official positions of the committee that Yang Tingxiang said were all translated by Chen Mu, for the simple reason that he did not want to translate them literally.

If, in the literal sense, the Western Envoy was originally the chairman, the counselor was a parliamentarian, the criminal cao was a justice, and the inspector was a prosecutor, then Spain would seem too 'modern'.

Of course, there is no clear dividing point between this 'modern' and 'ancient', Chen Mu feels that the era he lives in has changed a lot from ancient times, so he can simply declare that they have entered the modern era, even if it is in the eighth year of Wanli, as long as the people who coexist with him at this time agree with this concept, then they are modern people.

Or that he is strong, so strong that he is invincible, and even the enemy has been beaten to recognize their modernization success, so even if he persuades the emperor in the Forbidden City to move Jiuqing out, Dasi Nong is still the most modern and advanced agricultural official.

Even if it existed 1,600 years ago.

Every moment, human beings are creating history, but the people who create history are different, and the final result of the history created is also different.

The history of the dead cannot be preserved, the history of the weak is not read, and only the history written by the strong can be preserved.

After laughing, Chen Mucai continued to ask: "Give them official positions and pay them, and then, how are they determined?" ”

He found that Yang Tingsang liked to give money to the Spaniards and deeply benefited from this act, which in turn made him steadfast in this act.

He was the first to propose to pay the three Spanish legions of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, and as a result, the three Spanish legions were indeed all in a state of semi-rebellion, and they could not listen to the Spanish Indian Affairs Committee or Yang Tingxiang.

The three corps commanders were clear about the logic of all this: if they didn't listen to the committee, they might be fine, and they wouldn't go back to Spain; If you don't listen to Yang Tingxiang's words, you will definitely not have a military salary, and if you don't get it, you will be dismissed.

"The subordinates asked the passing Guangdong businessmen to make a calculation formula, and this is it." Yang Tingxiang rummaged on the table, and as he spoke, he took out a piece of scratch paper and pushed it in front of Chen Mu, saying: "Every three months, they are allowed to go ashore in Mexico City to receive their money once, and at other times, let them stay in Havana and not be allowed to go ashore." ”

On the messy scratch paper that Yang Tingxiang pushed to Chen Mu was written a formula for calculating the number of Lu silk horses that could be purchased in Guangzhou Mansion by Mexico City, and Chen Mu calculated it in his heart, feeling that for the Spanish officials of the Indian Affairs Committee, this was indeed a pie falling from the sky.

The highest official rank is the sixth rank of the western envoy to lead the moon and ten stones, and these rice can reach two horses and three points of Lu silk in the Haojing; Even the most low-ranking royal envoy can receive a piece of Lu silk, and a horse of Lu silk is sold for 23,000 Tongbao in Daxigang, which is still priceless.

"Very good strategy, sixteen high-ranking officials of the committee, with less than forty horses of silk per month, can make them lean on us, at least in terms of salary, we are more diligent than Fei Laoer."

Chen Mu nodded slowly, this amount of money is neither too much for the officials of the Indian Committee to dare not take, nor so little that they can't look down on it, it is a good median value, and the six-rank official is equivalent to the income of forty taels a month, which is extremely impressive: "What is the effect?" ”

Yang Tingxiang continued to rummage through the official documents on the table, the corners of his mouth raised, and he gave unspeakable high praise for his work achievements, and he pushed a few pages of official documents to Chen Mu with a smile.

"It was the power of their various positions," he said, "and now they recognize the fact that they are powerless to interfere with the Ming Dynasty's policy towards New Spain, while the Oriental Military Government can influence the Viceroyalty of Peru." ”
