Before Xu Luan's microscope was created, Chen Mu received a procedural urgent letter.

The letter stated that this year's merchant ship fleet has sailed from the Ming Dynasty through the Heishui Martial Islands. Majiagang, Jincheng and Jie County, which are skilled in receiving ships, are trying their best to resettle them. At the same time, each county is trading with merchant ships.

Changsheng not only wanted to welcome them, but also sent a letter from Daxi Port. Yang Ce, who had fought in France for half a year, led his troops from the sea to divide into two groups. One team followed Zhu Xiaoen, the king of Ailan, and the other team rushed north to Ireland Island, while the other team came to Daxi Port from the sea and applied to enter Changsheng.

"Fuck!"

Chen Mu threw the letters on the table in the study of the military government office. His complaints were obviously not directed at Yang Ce who was leading his loyal subordinates to march on the official road, but because he found that after reading the letters sent from China and the information from Majiagang, he would disappoint the civil and military generals waiting in the room.

Most of the people in the house came from the royal university, including art teacher Xu Wei, large juicer installation foreman Zhao Shizhen, installation supervisor Zou Yuanbiao, and of course a martial artist Du Song and general Fu Yuan.

They were all waiting for the follow-up news of the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, and their eyes were wide open, as if they were unwilling to miss every slight change in expression on Chen Mu's face.

Seeing Chen Mu throwing the letter and cursing, everyone's hearts were raised to their throats. Du Song and Fu Yuan looked at each other and asked in a low voice: "Master, have you lost?"

"Lost a lot."

Chen Mu said angrily: "You are just looking forward to losing? No, the court did not deliver a letter to Dadongyang, and the people on the ship don't know much about us!"

This is the root cause of Chen Mu's fucking. This year, the imperial court did not send Beiyang recruits, nor did it send letters to Dadongyang. All the tourists came were merchants and people who wanted to make a living in the New World.

As he said that, Chen Mu raised his hand and shook the letters on the table, and said angrily: "Why, Ma Shuai's letter said that the merchant told him that the emperor had raised troops as if he had learned some big secret, and transferred the Beiyang Guards to guard Xuanda. Qi Shuai was ready to go to war... When did this happen?"

Before Chen Mu came back in Muye, the court had already sent two messages to him, and they were sent to him by land by northern China.

The latest news is that Qi Jiguang has already launched the fourth battalion northward.

Du Song is the one who is most concerned about the information on the northern battlefield. He was originally a northerner. He had so many years of hatred on the northern border. He heard that the emperor was enterprising and the court was trying to send troops north with great fanfare. Even in Muye, he couldn't sleep happily. At this time, after hearing Chen Mu's words, his eyes were wide open and said, "It's been a few months since the court finally got tough and retreated again?"

"No, I guess the war has begun in the north, but the court doesn't care about informing us of military information, does not care about reporting on the news, does not care about reporting." Chen Mu said, pausing, "It's just that the situation of the war is not bad."

In Chen Mu's view, with the emperor's nature of never giving up, Zhang Juzheng's control over the court and the current financial situation of the court, once the war in the north is not good, the first thing he will mobilize will never be the southern guards, nor will the Nanyang Military Palace that brings the most income to the court.

As long as the Nanyang Military Mansion is operating normally, the Beijing transportation of silver, food, wealth, and silver, food, and wealth transport of the Western Military Mansion can fight a big battle without any damage. The Dongyang Military Mansion, which brings the least direct income to the Sanyang Military Mansion, must be the best candidate to send troops.

But in contrast, the situation is not bad enough, and the troops of the East and West Army Office, which are far away, will never be easily mobilized.

This situation made Chen Mu raise his hand and knock on his forehead with some annoyance, spread his hands to everyone and said, "If the imperial court does not send a letter, our Dongyang Military Office will do our own business. What can the counties transport back for the imperial court this year? Have you planned it?"

"Master, I'm Changsheng County this year..." Zou Yuanbiao was about to answer first, but he was intercepted by Zhao Shizhen at the beginning: "Master, the transportation of various counties has been loaded into ships to send the military office to the military office."

Zhao Shizhen and Zou Yuanbiao looked at each other and continued: "The most popular year in this year is Jincheng. They transported 4,300 kilograms of gold, 120,000 kilograms of copper, 120,000 kilograms of iron, 5,000 pieces of wood, and 23,600 tanned leathers in Majiagangjie County, and more than 70,000 boxes of various medicinal materials; compared with last year, the skins remained flat, while gold, wood, copper and iron rose by 30%.

"Yeah, not bad."

Chen Mu was very happy this year's income from the three northern counties, which shows that his business in North Asia has begun to show results in the past few years, showing a trend of more than one year. This is not only real money, but also the most intuitive manifestation of their missions such as the Eastern Army officials.

"The Panama commercial tax, road tax, and plantation tax are 19,600 taels. The county also spent military expenses, repairing roads, farming, etc., and a total of 36,000 taels of equal amounts of Tongbao. There are also supporters of Lautaro to raise an army and spend 1,400 taels. The military government needs to allocate additional silver treasures. In addition, there are also money to prepare for the construction of the canal. The initial plan is to require 30 million treasures per year, and the site selection of Chaotian Palace is also initially decided, and 12 million treasures per year will also be invested."

Zhao Shizhen stopped and said, "The deficit is 52,800 taels."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, it was nothing. He knocked on the table and said, "Continue."

It is not surprising that Ukin's fiscal deficit is not surprising. In addition to the previous year of the battle and the gains of robbing the Spaniards, the best geographical trade route in the middle of Asia is almost completely abandoned due to the war.

The Spanish had no chance to use it, and the Ming people didn't need it. It was not until the end of last year that many merchants were transformed into joint-stock companies in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, which made the road come back to life, but it was not suitable for transporting a large amount of goods... The simple road environment made merchants lose some donkeys and goods every time they transport bulk goods, and rare goods from the East were sold at a very expensive price.

Merchants would rather spend one and a half months on the transport from the Changsheng Official Road to the Gulf of Mexico than bear the cost of losing the goods.

Although Deng Zilong is repairing it, the infrastructure construction will not be rewarded immediately after investment, and the commercial road is not built today, and merchants will come tomorrow.

It is difficult to increase income, but expenses are increasing. Whether it is the construction of Chaotian Palace or the Panama Canal, Ukyo's fiscal deficit is inevitable and will last for many years.

"The former Governor's Office is much better than Chile. The Westerners left five cities there and were accepted by the Ming Dynasty. Shao Shuai was also good at educating the original tribes. The main income of the local area was the struvitae stone on the offshore of Arauco and the struvitae stone in the desert. The struvitae stone was purchased by the court, with a hundred kilograms of 1,000 Tongbao; the saltpeter mine was directly under the court, with four and three being built, and the annual labor cost of 1,690 million Tongbao."

"This year, 1.3 million jin of Changsheng struvitae and 700,000 jin of saltpeter."

"As for Changsheng..." Zhao Shizhen did not mention Zou Tuzi himself, and everyone present saw Zou Tuzi's eagerness to try clearly. After asking Chen Mu, Zhao Shizhen smiled and said, "I'll ask Zou Magistrate to say it myself."

"Ahem!"

Zou Yuanbiao cleared his throat, with a huge smile and a sense of accomplishment on his face. He raised his hand and swept it in front of him, then bowed and said, "Master, Changsheng has nothing else. The Tongbao they spent is all from us... This year, Changsheng's annual import tax is 30 million, land tax is 30 million, commercial tax is 630 million, and the Western people's coin silver is the same as the income. In addition to the silver reserve, there are still 970,000 taels of silver returned to the court."
