In July, Chen Mu still relies on Makino, not only because of the beautiful scenery here, but also because Makino is already a wallet for the whole Asia.

The power of merchants was terrible. Li Yuxi, a businessman who took over the east coast of North Asia, urged the court to implement laws on farming, logging and planting tobacco.

But the starting point of the law is not to plunder.

On the east coast, due to the booming tobacco industry, the Dongyang Military Office planned 460 forest farms. Most of the indigenous tribes make a living by logging and hunting. Each forest farm is divided into twenty areas, and it is stipulated that only one area can be logged from one area every year, while the remaining forest areas are pastures and hunting grounds.

The tobacco planting industry also has the same plan. The land of each tribe is divided into farmland and tobacco fields. The imperial court does not manage farmland much except the land tax. However, the tobacco fields are mandatory and can only grow tobacco on one piece of land every year.

Li Yuxi looked at this matter as thoroughly as Yang Tingxiang of the Eastern Military Palace. If he used Tongbao to open the way, cut down mountains and forests and plant tobacco, it would cause a large number of indigenous people to leave the land and move into the central part, and his business would become worse and worse.

And eventually, it caused an opposition between the indigenous people and the Eastern Military Palace.

Li Yuxi even suggested that the Dongyang Military Prefecture implement laws on the Wudahu Hardware Mine and Coal Mine, and suggested that the provisions for the detention of Tieshan, coalfield and other resources be buried after one year, and the mountain is blocked for another twenty years.

Moreover, it was not only Li Yuxi who had this idea, but also Li Yuxi, the governor of the Spanish in Ming Dynasty, Zou Yuanbiao, the magistrate of Changsheng County, and even Zhao Shizhen, an aide to the military government, all praised it - they all believed that Li Yuxi respected the sky and was very visionary.

It made Chen Mu laugh and cry.

The resistance to this matter is indeed a bit great, not because of others, but because of their own internal reasons.

If it is in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to keep the iron plant open all year round, and two blast furnaces are made in each blast furnace, one is smelting and the other is repairing. It is difficult to exchange it for every 90 days and continue all year round. The workers are not happy first, and they have to go back to farm.

But the indigenous workers hired in Asia are different. The blast furnaces here can make steel in three shifts day and night. The workers do not have that tradition, and agriculture and industry are easily separated.

But management is unwilling.

They put people first and believed that people need to rest. They also believed that since people need to rest, the blast furnace must also rest, and even the mine must rest. After digging, they have to bury the soil, and they have to rest for twenty years as soon as they are buried.

Li Yuxi paid for the construction of many spare blast furnaces, but they were useless at all. The workers wanted to use them, but the officials refused to use them.

"You call this understanding of the time. I think this is sustainable development, and hardware is different."

When Chen Mu said this, Zhao Changji, the mechanics unit, had contempt, and murmured to Yang Zhaolong, the magistrate of Makino who was sitting at the long table: "I used to say that Westerners were short-sighted, but now it's our turn."

Chen Mu thought this might be the doctrine of the mean? Each of them opposed the excavation of iron ore, and the Great Lakes Ironworks were full of resistance from the beginning.

Even Zou Tuzi, who was far away from the victory, couldn't curb his intention to criticize anything, so he wrote a long letter to dissuade Chen Mu from continuing to do his great cause of increasing production.

"No, why?"

Chen Mu was very confused. He knew very well that this was different from the things he had encountered in the past. It was not something he could do by just doing it alone. He spread his hands and complained: "You said workers need to rest. Yes, Chen also thought that workers need to rest. Although they work in three shifts, they are one worker on the day shift, and they have two workers on the middle and evening shifts. They work for four hours and twenty hours, and all workers have two days off every ten days."

"I said that blast furnaces need to rest. In the past, the design of blast furnaces was designed to be repaired or rebuilt in ninety days. Now I shortened this time to forty-five days. Forty-five days are not enough for thirty days. Each blast furnace has a substitute... But do you think the mines and coal fields need to be rested?"

"The things that cannot be dug underground are all resting." Chen Mu slapped the table helplessly. He was really incompetent about this question: "What are we digging? We can't finish them!"

The mining, iron smelting, and steel smelting before industrialization were completely deductible.

Everyone looked at him without blinking, without saying a word, and their expressions clearly expressed the meaning in their hearts.

"You see how Euroi mined. They dug Potosi everywhere, day and night, year and year, and deaths. Can their output be lower? Now we are only digging out mines, and no one knows how many underground are."

"We have protected the mines well. When the next year, there will be countless steel in Euroi. They will drive our descendants from this land and use these ores to make things to beat us. Then the ones who will be beaten will be my descendants, your descendants."

"Our industrialization requires steel and wealth. I don't rob anyone, and it's not OK to dig a mine here - pinch the cigarette for me, don't smoke!"

Zhao Shizhen had just lit the small pipe, holding the pipe in his hand to say something, but suddenly saw Chen Mu get up and wave his hand to point him at him and let him destroy the cigarette. He was so scared that his hands trembled and almost dropped the pipe to the ground. He paused to relieve his mind and said carefully: "If you don't let me smoke, don't let me smoke, why are you disturbing me?"

Chen Mu used to not oppose smoking from his subordinates, but in Li Yuxi, he made tobacco a weapon to harvest gold and silver, and he was very opposed to this pastime.

Because this means a terrible force, only one thousand two hundred boxes of Muye cigarettes, which allowed the Ming Dynasty merchant Li Yuxi to make net profit of more than 76,000 taels of silver, and at the same time paid more than 35,000 taels of taxes to the Eastern Military Palace, which was still in short supply in Europe.

Li Yuxi even became a guest at the Eastern Military Palace for this cause and served the Ming Empire with his vision.

Just talking about what the concept of 35,000 taels of taxes is the annual income of a thousand households. Zhu Xiaoen's resumption did not cost so much money from its establishment to its end of training.

One thousand two hundred boxes of Muye cigarettes will be made, so what if Li Yuxi sells another two thousand boxes next year?

Europe is a natural dumping place. Since the Spanish entered the New World, they have long developed the habit of chewing tobacco and smoking pipes. The quality and taste are good, the packaging is more exquisite, and the value of Makino smoke is naturally their better choice.

And it is difficult to replace. Europeans cannot make decent tobacco paper and do not have baking technology. Even if they are indeed making tobacco by themselves, they can only sell them at low prices and earn a hard-earned money.

Chen Mu did not think that this business could last long, but according to the huge planting, logging, papermaking and cigarette industry upstream and downstream of tobacco, the population of people working in the east coast of hundreds of thousands, as long as it maintains its prosperity for ten or twenty years, it will not only recover the gold and silver plunders from Europe from the New World and Africa for decades, but also gather the wealth of the Crusades.
