Chen Mu is indeed rare to be generous, and the ordnance provided to Zhu Xiaoen by the military government will cost at least 20,000 taels of silver if they are sold to Spain.

Arquebus guns and a set of lead shot molds, twelve fire ropes, light machines, 100 lead shots, cuirass helmets, canvas carrying gear, rucksacks, moisture-proof single-sided purple quilts, military uniforms and soap shoes, line wrapping and large tung oil poncho that can be used as a single small tent, this set of things through Chen Mu's hands, is it appropriate not to have twenty taels of silver?

As for Zhu Xiaoen, the total price of these things is not even 20 million Tongbao.

After removing the freight to the West Coast, it is almost the cost price, and letting Chen Mu sell things at the cost price is not the same as giving it away for nothing?

The reason why this is the case is not for any special reason - the second master is happy.

Because the crest of the custom-made rucksack was sent, fifty-four plantation owners plus a legion commander under Duke Alva of the Western Army wanted to order twenty-six thousand rucksacks, not to mention how happy Chen Mu was.

Although the Spaniards made Chen Mu happy, Chen Mu's huge discount to Zhu Xiaoen of the Ailan Kingdom sounded a bit of a problem logically, and if the cost of the two things was calculated, the transaction amount of 94 million Tongbao lent to Zhu Xiaoen and the custom rucksack were not comparable to the same, but Chen Mu was happy.

Because the fifty-four plantation owners were very satisfied with Chen Mu's suggestion, that is, to print a map on the backpack, and the slave laborers carried the backpack to the border and then send it back after being discovered.

Planters are good people!

You Shuai Lin Manjue and his subordinates circled around the other side of the border for a month, and the map drawn was not more than one-third of the size sent by these plantation owners, but the people themselves sent the map, and the roads were marked.

The entire border was lit up almost a hundred miles to the east.

Where can Chen Mu be unhappy?

Righteousness!

Righteousness!

Not to mention that there is still a chance to return the slave laborers, can the flag army take the slave labor on the wrong path and map a little more?

When Fu Yuan, the general who commanded hundreds of villages on the border, learned of this news, he immediately sent a message to ask, did the slave laborers who crossed the border really want to send them back?

Not to mention that the land in each village is far from being saturated, and it is a time when there is a shortage of manpower, just because the people are determined to cross the border without avoiding difficulties and obstacles, this courage is there, and the front-line officers and soldiers feel that they should leave people behind.

Even the rangers of the Lynmans sometimes helped slave laborers who wanted to escape from the plantations, guiding them safely across the border.

Chen Mu's answer was that it should be sent or sent back.

But what should be sent and what should not be sent?

Chen Mu didn't say.

Fu Yuan, who was sitting on the front line, thought hard for a long time after getting the letter, but he couldn't get an answer in his heart, so the matter was put on hold for several days, until he heard that Lin Manjue had sent a message to more than a dozen villages on the border to be equipped with military doctors to check the health problems of the fugitives, which made Fu Yuan's eyes light up.

Those who are in good health and can work for themselves here and pay taxes to the emperor should not be sent, and everyone can serve the emperor and send people back to do something; But if you have a Spanish disease that can't be cured, not to mention a contagious disease, it must be sent back!

There is no need for the people under the Ming Dynasty to bear the sins made by the Spaniards, they have to be left to their own devices!

In any case, with the opening of the trade markets represented by Wangjiapu and Zhangjiagou, the smell of gunpowder between the two countries has also faded a lot, except for the arms trade and co-governance zone agreed upon by the two countries has not been launched, and the border east and west have indeed achieved the expected peace.

It turns out that as long as Chen Mu doesn't look for trouble, peace is still within reach, but it is difficult for Chen Mu not to find trouble.

If Chen Mu wants to find trouble, no one in the world can stop him, but now his main energy has been withdrawn from paying attention to the movements of the Spaniards and turning to pay attention to more important things.

Goods shipped back to Daming.

This is more than anything else worth worrying about Chen Mu, which means that the Dongyang Military Government will be able to be self-sufficient to a certain extent from next year, and there will be no longer any need to delay the Nanyang Military Government to spend silver and rice grain support.

The benefits of open source are here, as long as he doesn't spend it, it will save money for the Ming Dynasty, and the remaining silver and rice grain will be handed over to the household department, which will allow the imperial court to do more meaningful things.

The shipyard in Changsheng County has been very busy these days, and the shipwrights on the more than 1,000 lucky boats have spent more than a month loading the leather, walrus ivory, fish skin, fire oil and other goods from Majiagang onto the ship, but when the goods recently transported by Jincheng come over, they realize that what they have done before is useless.

At present, thousands of shipwrights are busy bringing people to move the ship's cargo, and in order to speed up the speed and not miss the deadline, they even spend extra money to hire people to unload the cargo, and then drive the ship into the shipyard for refit in turn.

The latest shipment from Jincheng was coastal fir wood, and according to a letter sent by Wu Zhongxing, the fir wood sent this time was carefully selected by the county.

The cedar is divided into three classes.

The inferior is fir wood, three feet high, three feet long, and three feet wide, which is the best furniture and ship wood.

The medium is a small cedar tree, cut down and peeled and polished, three feet long and three feet long, seven feet in circumference, and it is the material of the best temple pillars.

The superior is more than 100 years old, the length is seven zhang six, the circumference is one zhang, the trunk is straight and the heart of the tree is not rotten, and it can be used as a mast of a warship and a royal palace.

In addition, there are special grades, which are dedicated to the emperor by the Oriental Military Mansion, all of them are nine zhang long, and Wu Zhongxing himself doesn't know what these special logs can be used for.

As for Chen Mu, he was worried about how to send these big materials back.

It is good to say that the inferior cut and ground cedar wood can be transported back by loading it on the ship for 1,200 square meters, although it is troublesome, it is hard work to carry 800 pieces to the ship one by one, but it is not a big problem.

The key is that it is superior and special, and it cannot be shipped back at all.

Their ships were transported along the coast, and there was no risk, but they had to go straight across the ocean when they went back, and two hundred lucky ships lined up to enter the shipyard for this purpose.

Chen Mu planned to unload the pine spliced mast on the original ship, and put 400 high-quality timber directly on the ship as a mast, hang it on the sail and drive it all the way back, but there was really no place to put it.

Wu Zhongxing's desire to please the emperor could also rest, and the other ninety-five first-class fir trees could not cross the ocean with the existing means of transportation.

"Wu Zidao doesn't want to think about it, he can use two boats to send wood over along the coast, can I still put two boats in the ocean and let them float back?"

If these 95 sticks want to be transported back, they can only wait for the ice and snow to melt in the islands next year, and take the northern route to transport them back along the coast.

Chen Mu felt that this Jincheng magistrate was a problem for his family, could you still keep this large pile of wood dedicated to the emperor here all the time?

Xu Wei came up with an idea: "The wood has been sent, there is no reason to return it, the marshal let the Wanli ship go back, transport two back, let the emperor know that there is this, but it really can't be shipped back." ”

Let the Wanli ship go back?

Only the Wanli ship can transport this large timber intact, not Nantang, Taiyue, and Shuanglin.

But Chen Mu didn't dare.

Chen Ju's use of Nantang as a fish pond envoy is already very excessive, if he uses Wanli as a pack turtle envoy again, he will have to provoke infamy when he goes back.

"Let the Shuanglin ship go, if it really doesn't work, just cut the wood, just put it down, and then what?"

Xu Wei touched his beard, made a gesture with a smile, and said, "Repair the Chaotian Palace for Your Majesty in Asia!" ”
