Fujian, Guangzhou, and together are prosperous, and have become overseas gold-swallowing monsters.

Their main source of goods, since Lin Feng joined, has long been no longer relying on the sale of goods to make profits, but to draw commissions from ships, and according to the layers of division, almost eighty percent of the overseas ships are tied to the chariot of Hexingsheng, rolling forward.

Last year, it was 70 percent, and in fact, the number of ships joining Hexingsheng has not changed much, but the number of overseas ships has risen to 80 percent, and there is only one reason.

If it is not a prosperous ship, it will be plundered by Lin Feng.

However, there are not many overseas Ming ships, and only 50 ships are issued every year in Yuegang, and even if there are officials and businessmen colluding to issue false quotations, it is only worth 100 copies, and the most on the sea are still private merchants, and the total number of ships going to and from the east and west oceans will not exceed 300 according to Hexingsheng's estimate of 400 ships, and the total number of large and small ships will not exceed 1,000.

Regardless of whether it is an official ship or a private ship, there are as many as 773 seagoing ships with the bow of the Prosperous Ship, including 280 ships of 400 materials.

This kind of capacity is very terrifying, 400 material ships are used as war ships, and the combat power is worrying, but if it is used as a cargo ship, it requires fewer sailors, less water and food, and a large cargo capacity, and a ship can carry nearly 300,000 catties - of course, this is only an ideal state, and the actual delivery of goods can only reach a small half of this number.

Two thousand stones.

It's just that the form of the alliance is too loose, and no one can give orders directly to them, although they occasionally help each other internally, in fact, it is only half of the relationship between Sebei and Jineng, sometimes united, sometimes scattered, without a common purpose and vision, united only for maritime security, and very fragile.

However, Chen Mu believes that there will come a day when Hexingsheng can bring more to him and the empire in addition to money.

From last year to October this year, Hexingsheng brought Chen Mu an income of more than 50,000 taels of silver, in order to save Chen Mu's silver, Bai Yuanjie specially asked Yang Yinglong's craftsmen to build a mansion and a gold cellar in Weigang, and put their silver there.

Yes, their money.

Lao Bai looks down on gold and silver, even if the silver taels are quite huge now, his money is also put together with Chen Mu's money, and he will take it when he uses it - in fact, the status of Bai Chen, who is like a warlord in a high-ranking official and powerful place, has become less and less where they use silver.

Bai Yuanjie understood better than anyone why Chen Mu asked for copper and iron instead of silver when selling guns, because the hard currency of silver had little impact on them, Nanyang Wei was self-sufficient in everything, and in addition to the upper and lower dots and daily expenses, more than 200,000 taels of silver were not known how to spend in Weigang.

That money is not only Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie's private wealth, but also their Nanyang Wei's Wei Yin - to put it mildly, Lao Bai is going farther and farther on the road of joining forces with Chen Mu, and the more he feels that it was a very correct choice for him to farm.

This guy has skills in training and fighting, but the court is not a general who can train and fight, and it is his indispensable professional skill to be able to lead troops to fight while being able to bring wealth to the upper and lower levels.

Nanyang Wei is not only the most powerful guard in the southeast, but also the richest guard in the world, with gold, silver, copper and iron piled up like a mountain, swords, spears, guns, guns, all kinds of armor, everything.

Bai Yuanjie knew Chen Mu's thoughts, and knew that since the construction of Weigang, the focus of Nanyangwei's defense has shifted from land to sea, so during the construction process, the center of Nanyangwei is also shifting there, starting from the Ordnance Bureau, gradually moving to Weigang, and then backing to the sea, and all affairs are transported from Guangdong by sea ships.

Everything seems to be moving in a better direction, including him in the north.

Although the authority in his hands is gone, no one will tell Chen Mu what happened, but this is obviously because the ministers and Shangguan have more plans, and they will tell him when the dust settles.

The only defect is that his son was lost in Luzon and went to learn from other people's farms; Then there is his Japanese subordinates, who went to Japan to deliver two trips of goods, and it seems that they can't come back.

The most accidents always happen at sea.

Changzhen small school field, five hundred soldiers lined up, their battle formation is not as square as the Nanyang Guard Banner Army, more like Bai Yuanjie's habitual battle array, there are many cold soldiers in the array, ring knives and waist knives, long standard crossbows, although a new type of carrying equipment and armor, but there are few firearms, five hundred people only have a general flag of the bird hand, so that it is still fifty poles of Nanyang Wei rare long guns.

The so-called long gun is Nanyang Wei's imitation of the Westerner's heavy gun, with a long steel rod bayonet that Chen Mu blindly imagined, and a six-foot-long big gun, which hits one or two bullets - it is a big killer with very low cost performance.

No one in Chen Mu's headquarters uses this kind of gun, because his direct banner army has been expanding, from fifty to one hundred, from one hundred to one thousand, from one thousand to five thousand six, the more his flag army, he can only choose the more cost-effective Nanyang short gun, but at this moment, this heavy gun team is at the right time.

In fact, Chen Mu didn't care about what kind of weapons the barbarian army used, he cared more about the new carrying equipment on these people.

These carrying gear and armor were all newly made to cope with the cold of northern Xinjiang.

The leather short robe, dyed with the red color commonly used by the Ming army, and the pattern of the clothes commonly used by the Ming people, replaced the original purple cloth jacket of the Southern Army, and the round-necked shirt was sewn with wool, which was beautiful and warm. The long iron shin armor on the legs of the leather boots under his feet is tied with the bindings, and the breastplate on the body is double-faced, and the breastplate is a chain mail that reaches close to the knee and reaches the wrist, and the wrist and the hem of the clothes are nailed with thin leather armor, and a six-petal iron helmet with brave characters.

The carrying equipment is still the same as before, but the armed belts and backpacks are all leather, wrapped in new felt, tung oil tent cloth, and the felt is wrapped in a small blue cloth quilt.

"Nanyangwei, these things have been pushed to customize?"

Zhang Yongshou didn't know much about Nanyangwei, and said vaguely: "It should be customized, Nanyangwei has already sold these things to Guangdong Zhuwei, but they are all cloth, not as good-looking as they are, I also bought twenty sets, one set costs seven cents of silver, it seems that it is not easy to sell." ”

"Later, Jingchen gave me twenty sets of skins, and the Qingyuan commander bought three hundred sets for his soldiers, and Jingchen seemed to sell him one, two, or four." Zhang Yongshou said as he walked around Xiaoxiying with his hands behind his back, turned his head and said, "I don't know about others." ”

Chen Mu shook his head with a pout, looking not very happy, he told Lao Bai before leaving, don't care what to sell, as long as others want to buy, they will double or triple the price, many things only they can do, and form an assembly line to make them, not only the technology is better than others, the output is also larger than others, but it seems that Lao Bai is still ruthless.

Three hundred sets of new leather carrying equipment, in Chen Mu's opinion, can buy two taels of their previous commander, this set of costs almost seven cents of silver, anyway, the commander is also rich.

"Tut, it's just too expensive to sell it, and the Jingchen of the cloth has to sell it for one, two or four, and they won't let the counteroffer." Zhang Yongshou also shook his head with a pouted like Chen Mu, "It's not that the skin is not sold, but Jingchen has to have a set of three or two, who can afford it?" ”

Chen Mu didn't pout, and said with a smile: "The old style used to sell one, two, four? Well, that's good! Seventh! ”

Saying that, Chen Mu called Bai Qi and said, "Let the barbarian army take the things on their bodies first, give me the flag for military use first, and then it will be a big day in a while, and then send a message to Brother Jingchen, and then send them five hundred sets." By the way, don't solve that brute fang, I'm going to use them! ”
