This order was conveyed to Lin Xiao by Chen Mu.

Just after he sent off the Spanish envoy from the Viceroyalty of Peru with a warm smile on his face.

The envoy was an acquaintance of the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, and routinely delivered silver ingots to the Oriental military government at the beginning of each year.

"Then the marshal asked Lin Xiao to tell Lautaro that a village kills a Spaniard every month?"

Zhao Shizhen was still carrying a scroll of paintings in a paper tube, which he had just drawn with a group of auxiliary generals at the Zongmu University using the Europa perspective method he had learned from his teacher Xu Wei.

After listening to Chen Mu's words, he said firmly: "Is the Spaniard sending less silver this year?" ”

In the minds of the mechanical units, the entire Viceroyalty of Peru is an automatic silver mine belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

Every year, 170,000 catties of silver are automatically sent over, and the Oriental military government first deducts 25,000 catties, and then deducts 14,000 catties in the process of coinage, and after pinching the head and tail and mixing copper, 4.5 million and a half taels are handled by Yang Tingxiang for Mingxi trade, and the last 2 million and a half taels are loaded onto Philip and sent over.

People have to eat, fish have to swim, and Spaniards have to pay a minting fee - this is an eternal and unchanging objective law.

In the past, Lautaro fought in Colombia's guerrilla melee, Chen Mu never instructed or assigned anything, nor did he give him the Ming army's standard equipment.

The reason for the change, Zhao Changji estimated that it was because the Spaniards sent less silver, which made Chen Dashuai, who fell into the eyes of money, very dissatisfied.

"I lost 4,000 pounds this year, it seems that it is because Peru can't grab people, which is understandable."

Chen Mu's appearance was not as angry as he appeared, on the contrary, he took a sip of hot tea very easily, and said with a smile: "There is Deng Dashuai from Panama in the north, Shao Dashuai from the desert in the south, and Portuguese and Lautaro in the east. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Shizhen saw Chen Mu's idle left hand stretching out two fingers on the side of the table, and said: "They said, don't care how much their output drops, the 25,000 catties given to the Dongyang Military Mansion will remain unchanged, although we will still lose a little, but not so much." ”

Of course, Zhao Shizhen knew that they didn't lose much, in fact, silver was almost useless in the whole of Asia, this circulation was an Asian treasure, and the power to print, set prices and collect taxes was in the Ming Dynasty, and Spain could not stop trading with the Ming Dynasty, on the contrary, Fei Laoer's desire for trade was increasing day by day - this matter has always been Zhao Shizhen's pistachio.

From the beginning of the coinage, the seigniorage, the minting process, the delivery of silver coins to exchange for Tongbao, the trade with Tongbao, the payment of taxes to the Oriental Military Government through the trade volume, the payment of taxes to Mexico City when leaving the port, and the arrival of the port of Daming in Seville to pay taxes to Li Dan...... Peeled off layer by layer, the original 2,720,000 taels of silver became 100 to 2 million and a half taels of silver and 100,000 to 200,000 taels of silver in Songjiang Province in Spain.

That's it, Philip still thinks he's making a lot of money.

This is not the thing that makes Zhao Shizhen laugh the most, the most funny thing for him is that according to Li Dan's letter, His Royal Highness Philip can really make money from this kind of trade.

And a lot of money.

In the case of soaring prices and shortage of materials in Spain, even if the price of goods is ridiculously high, Spanish merchants can still sell it, just last year, a broken cup signed by Chen Mu's name was bought by the cardinal in Madrid for two hundred and fifty and a half taels, and a stone foundation was specially built at the entrance of the Seville Cathedral, and the believers were encouraged to spit in the cup every week.

Of course, the so-called broken cup is very good, even if it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely the appearance that can be served on the tea table of the squire landlord's house, but the signature of the earthworm is bad Feng Shui.

By the time the Toyo Military Government learned of the anecdote, the cup had been stolen under the noses of the troops stationed in the Armed Square in Seville, and its whereabouts were unknown.

The whole of Spain suspected that the most ungodly of all, Mr. André Dittis, had done it, and Li Dan said that he was very wronged, and even angrily wrote to King Fei Laoer, saying that he did not know that there was such a cup before the incident, otherwise he would have sent someone with explosives to lift the church together, and at the same time strongly condemned the archbishop's practice.

In the end, in the name of Chen Mu, he blackmailed the Cathedral of Seville for three thousand and a half taels to finish.

Later, it was rumored that Li Dan was not responsible for this matter, and it is said that the cup appeared briefly in Milan and then in Florence, and it was suspected that it was stolen by the Medici family, who had tried to imitate porcelain five years earlier, for the purpose of studying porcelain.

Legends are always legends, and no one knows where Chen Mu's Holy Grail is hidden.

Of course, even the person concerned, Chen Mu, didn't care, Zhao Shizhen didn't care even more, he cared more about why Chen Mu changed his strategy of silently supporting Lautaro in the past, and directly supported it, and sent arquebus, gunpowder and lead pills over...... It's almost like letting the Oriental Military Government beat the Peruvian Western Army.

This doesn't make sense, it seems that Chen Mu is not annoyed by Peru's lack of 4,000 catties of silver this year, but he looks like he intends to tear his face with the Spaniards and set off the third Mingxi War.

But it's going to be a third war, so what kind of thing is it to kill an enemy a month?

Besides, the third war in Mingxi is going on at this time, so isn't it pushing your godson who stayed in Daming Port to collect taxes into the fire pit?

"It's not because of silver, in recent years, a large amount of silver has flowed into the country, and there is no shortage of silver, the imperial court is not in shortage, and the Oriental military government is not in shortage, and the half tael coined last year is useless, not only can this year's money be sent to Spain, but even the year after next year is enough."

Chen Mu waved his hand, looked at Zhao Shizhen and said, "I want to consume the Spaniards who are still in Asia, do you think there is less one person a month?" ”

"There are more than 470 villages and squads in Lautaro, operating in various parts of Colombia and Peru, and the Spaniards are so disturbed by them that they can only hide in towns and outposts, but they always have to go out."

"This is the test method for Lautaro, if you do it well, you are ambushed on the only way, there is a message from the Western Army, grain transportation, taxation, and it is normal to release a shot; The same thing is repeated 470 times a month on the land, and counting Peru, which has been recruiting troops and cultivating its army, they have less than 20,000 men in total. ”

"Let him die 5,000 a year, not to mention the grain transport team walking over, whoever puts a wooden cannon in the forest and releases it can complete half a year's performance in one fell swoop."

Chen Mu said, pushed the letter out, and said: "As for the reasons, there are two, first of all, Fei Lao Er has successfully become the king of Portugal, he who has lost North Asia will not let Brazil lose again, if you want Brazil, you have to send more people to Brazil, Peru is closer than Spain, the fewer people in Peru, the more likely it is that Brazil is Ming." ”

"In addition, this Fei Lao Er sent over with a national letter, wanting to marry the third princess to the emperor, and I don't know which bastard told him that the eldest son has a bunch of concubines, and he is bald and still wants to be the abbot, how can I bully him when he becomes the abbot?"
