Zhang Han didn't agree this time, not because he didn't agree with Chen Mu's suggestion, maybe it was Chen Mu's words that reminded the old governor of something, so he mentioned something that was incompatible.

"Xiangshan County ordered Zhou Binqi to report some time ago that Xiangshan County was promoted to Xiangshan Mansion and governed Shunde and Xiangshan counties, do you know?"

Chen Mu didn't understand what Xiangshan had to do with whether he was promoted or not, and he wanted to be in charge of the official ordnance, so he replied: "I have heard of the humble position, it seems that it is because the big families in Xiangshan have many hidden fields and Jizhuang, and there are many entanglements with the officials of Shunde, and the reason for the inconvenience of jurisdiction." ”

"That's it."

Zhang Han raised his hand and raised his index finger, paced in the study, turned around and said: "Zhou Binxian is a capable official, he has done a good job in Chenghai, and the people still remember his kindness, this time he also did a good job in Haojing's land and water smuggling, I heard that the county gentry want to build a tower for him, and he will be the prefect." ”

Zhang Han smiled, "It's no worse than the current prefect of Guangcheng." ”

"The old man has been thinking about this matter for the past few days, if he only governs Shunde, it seems that the old man thinks that the private morality of the officials of Shunde County is at a loss, and this thing cannot be done. If Xinhui, Xinning, Shunde, and Xiangshan are combined into one house, there is still some possibility of success, as long as Guanghaiwei does not speak. ”

"Commander Guanghaiwei wants to let Xiangshan return to his jurisdiction, don't be in a hurry to refuse."

Zhang Han seemed to know that Chen Mu didn't want to belong to his subordinates, and said: "In the twentieth year of Hongwu, the ancestor ordered the world's capital guards to set up weapons to produce weapons for their own use, and the Guanghaiwei Weapons Bureau has been abolished. ”

Chen Mu listened to Governor Zhang's operation, and his mind was a little cloudy.

This master is not the kind of person who can get things done, he actually didn't do anything, and his talent of being cautious was carried forward to the extreme, and no subordinate could be offended. The distribution of resources was repeatedly compromised, and in the end, the corrupt officials were rectified, and the clean officials who were worried about the damage to their reputations did not matter, everyone was slapped in the face, and they all ate the dates they wanted.

But Chen Mu is uncomfortable, what should I do? Say it.

"The military gate is clear, I'm afraid Guanghaiwei can't do this, even if he goes to his humble position, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."

Chen Mu pursed his lips, he wanted to stab him in the back in a twist and turn, but then he thought that if he did this under the nose of the old man, he was afraid that he would be seen to have his true intentions, and he would have the impression of a villain, so it was better to say it generously.

He clenched his fists and said: "There are still two artillery pieces repaired by Shunde Qianhu in the lowly storehouse." ”

Zhang Han was puzzled, "Huh? ”

"The booty of attacking the bandits entrenched in Xiangshan, the thieves put them at the gate of the stone village, saying that they wanted to bombard their posts with cannons, and there were no cannons in Xiangshan, and the thieves had two in their hands, and they won the battle and moved back only to find that they were from the Shunde Thousand Households."

Zhang Han was obviously a little incredulous, although he was not dumbfounded, he also gritted his teeth and was obviously extremely angry.

Chen Mu spread his hands, "The cannons are all sold, what's the use of making a good weapon." Junmen, when the battle of Zeng Yi is over, there is no problem for Xiangshan to return to Guanghaiwei, you can give the order. ”

"However, in charge of the Ordnance Bureau, you still think long-term, command envoys, fellow knowledge, and affairs, even if other colleagues of the Thousand Households are under their control, if there are any requirements, they will not be able to do anything."

The wood is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it, and people in every era consider themselves enlightened.

But the more enlightened the era, the more evil human nature becomes, and when people see people who are better than themselves, their first thought is never to learn, but to destroy.

He is enough in Xiangshan, either he will not be included in Guanghaiwei, and if he is classified in Guanghaiwei, he will have to lose some of the things he has.

Fortunately, Chen Mu is far behind Zhang Han, and in the relationship between them, it is by no means a teacher and a disciple or a friend who has forgotten his years, but a simple superior.

"Don't even want a cannon, what are you going to Guanghaiwei for! Send those two cannons to the city of Guangzhou, you are in Xiangshan, don't go anywhere! ”

The old man blew his beard angrily and glared, and it took a long time to calm down the anger in his heart, and he sat back on the desk and rummaged through the books without raising his head and said: "Even if those two cannons are truthful, the old man can't allocate Guanghaiwei's Weapons Bureau to you, but you can set up an Weapons Bureau yourself in Xiangshan, which is not against the system. ”

Hearing this, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel joy in his heart, and bowed his head and hugged his fists in salute.

This means that from now on, Xiangshan's warships can be self-made, and Xiangshan's firearms can also be justifiably self-made, and even not only can they be self-made, but they can also use better firearms to supply other guards for some copper and iron raw materials.

The point is that this means that Xiangshan Senhu is completely free from the control of other guards.

Saying that, Zhang Han found the war report letter sent by Chen Mu from Xiangshan some time ago and the idea of Haojing's control, his withered fingers crossed the paper, looked up at Chen Mu, and said: "The handbook you sent, the old man read it, among them, the enemy guards the door, and the enemy is in chaos; The garrison governs the people, and the people are self-reliant; That's a good thing, you have more guts than many people, but the old man is worried about whether you can do it well? ”

Although the Ming Dynasty collected commercial taxes from them, calling them 'merchants', which was taken from the meaning of the merchants who supplied military salaries, but in fact regarded Haojing as a 'hidden enemy country' rather than its own territory.

A small island with no resources and no value is of little use to the Ming Dynasty, like renting it to Fanyi for free use.

Chen Mu put forward a new idea - since this island can already create income, it is necessary to hold and manage it, so that it can create higher income.

"You said that in Haojing, the officials who guarded Macao were removed, and three departments and 100 households were added, and soldiers were recruited by themselves, armaments were raised by themselves, and grain fields and food were divided into maritime affairs; The new tax official treasury was set up to reorganize the customs and sort out the taxation; Use my officials to set up Yi law to manage Yi businessmen, recruit Yi people's deputies, and practice the law overseas alone; The gate is opened three times a month, and the grain and grass are prepared for the unexpected; These four rules Chen, the old man played the court, and he was approved. ”

"But what you said separately, sending people to the Yishang Artillery Factory as apprentices, setting up schools to teach Yiren language, managing Yijiao, and deriving people to learn Yi's strategies, these few rules are a bit unintelligible, right? The old man went to the court to be laughed at as the governor of the whole country! ”

Zhang Han's smile was a little contemptuous of Chen Mu, a young man, "Why bother teaching Yiren words and making them civilized?" The students are all highly talented people of the country, and when the imperial examination is paid tribute to take the right path, how can they learn the strategy of Yiren? As for the apprenticeship in the artillery factory, it is even more funny, could it be that I have fallen into the situation of being apprenticed to others? ”

"Such a small skill!" Zhang Han's hand slapped on the Spanish heavy gun that Chen Mu had taken, and said: "At a glance at the Ministry of War, my country knows that it is more profitable to make it!" ”

Three years and five years of benefits, Zhang Hanliang has done his best.

The hundred-year policy plan will be abandoned!
