"You said you want to buy that big black ship?"

In the Governor's Office of Guangzhou Prefecture, Zhang Han had just picked up the teacup and took a sip, then pulled it hard, blurting out: "What are you buying it for? Are you talking about big things or not?"

There was nothing to check after the remaining ships that had fought. After Zhang Han checked the number of ships, he ordered someone to drive to Xinhui to repair them. There were hundreds of ships of all sizes, but he didn't see one intact. Both centipede ships were hit in a bad state.

The big black ship was really not big in Zhang Han's eyes, and it was only a little over ten feet long, one tenth of the 400 materials ships he had supervised in the previous surveillance of the canal transport. Therefore, Chen Mu's proposal became an inconsistency in Zhang Han's eyes.

Chen Mu came to find him, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, just to make things unhappy.

After thinking about it, he was sitting in front of him with a close confidant who had just made great contributions. Zhang Han blew the hanging leaves in the teacup, savored the fragrance after sniffing it, and laughed at it: "The foreign people like trade. You, a thousand households, trade with them, are not counting, and you also have to pull Guangzhou Dusi to do business with the foreigners. Trade is my Ming Dynasty's gift to the people from afar. They should know how much they are worth?"

Chen Mu sat in the chair and heard Zhang Han ask for the price, he was delighted and said, "It's nearly a thousand taels."

"Thousands of taels?"

Zhang Han put down the teacup and frowned, raised his two points to Chen Mu, and asserted: "You have not done anything about Xiangshan Shipyard."

"If you do it with your heart, you will not be deceived by the Franchise. A mere ten-foot boat dares to ask for a thousand taels of silver, and you will eat the bear heart and leopard gall! A four hundred-foot boat carrying two thousand stones of rice will use only one hundred and fifty taels of silver. If you use pine and fir, you will only be seventy-five taels of silver."

"The two 400-four-fu ships in your Xiangshan District were allocated to you, and the silver was only 42 taels and 74 taels. Two thousand five hundred workers were used, and the bottom ship was less than 200 taels of silver."

"Hmph!" Zhang Han snorted and said, "That's just a 600-property ship. How can it cost a thousand taels?"

Chen Mu really didn't know the cost of the Ming ship. At this moment, Zhang Hanyi said that he also thought that a thousand taels of silver was indeed very expensive - the price of six or seven 400-profit ships was not expensive!

"Returning to the military gate, this may not be the reason why the Yi merchants deceived Beizi. After discussing, the Yi merchants proposed to exchange two 400-material lucky ships for a new big black ship. Now you teach the cost of the Beizi ship. If you think about it carefully, it may be because the foreign countries and small countries have few people, and the wages and prices are expensive."

When Zhang Han heard that two lucky ships had changed to another black ship, his eyebrows were stretched a little. Chen Qianhu was obsessed with the black ship and made him feel confused. Then Chen Mu continued: "To be honest, Bei Zhi wanted a black ship that was not to guard against the sea or ship goods, but to buy it back and dismantle it in Xiangshan."

"A rogue ship can carry guns, and even if it is fired and placed on it, it will not damage the hull. I want to understand that at this time, so that shipbuilding can be learned from the future, as the Governor said before."

Zhang Han is a man who loves to wear a high hat. Chen Mu has no flattery on his face and bows seriously: "The art of transforming foreign powers is my Chinese skills. I craftsmen can tell the structure at a glance. However, it is hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice. She always has to let the shipyard craftsmen see it before they can learn."

"It makes sense for you to say this, but the lucky ships cannot be allocated to you. Those ships will have to be transferred to the coastal defenses of various places after they are repaired. Does the French need silk?"

Somehow, Zhang Han suddenly asked about the buying and selling silk in Haojing, pointed at Chen Mu and shook his head and smiled, "It's still the bad guy you have. Fujian merchants who have traveled to Guangzhou this year are struggling in Guangdong. There are checkpoints and barriers in various places. Merchants can't even get through to your Xiangshan territory and will be detained. The wealth and goods are suppressed in the Guangzhou treasury. The reward of the first-level silver for your Xiangshan office is as high as 2,700 taels."

"If you are willing, I will use 1,500 pieces of silk and silk to leverage you, and the market price is like eight cents and silver per piece, and then 1,000 taels of pension for Xiangshan flag troops, how about?"

how?

Chen Mu's head was big, and the price of 16 pieces of silk bundles in Haojing last year was nearly 100 Kruzados, which 1,500 pieces?

His eyes were filled with Franchise's gold coins, and it seemed that he got rich overnight as the governor said. This was not a matter of thousands of taels of silver. It was a reseller like this, but it was a equivalent of thousands of kruzados and tens of thousands of taels of silver.

If it were a warship, it would be dozens of 400-profit ships.

"Thank you, military service!"

"Oh, it's really profitable." Zhang Han didn't know the price of Haojing silk, but when he saw Chen Mu's expression, the boss laughed and said, "I can decide this matter. The prefecture uses silk to reward Xiangshan District with the profits of silk. I will not allow the matter of buying a boat, and I will not let you do the matter of affair with the barbarians and merchants."

"Maybe Haojing will lead merchants to Xiangshan to purchase silk at a high price, and in a few days, they will offer a ship to Xiangshan Shipyard. This is unsure."

Zhang Han looked at the door with his eyes raised and looked at the fish flying cover, and smiled and said, "Don't forget to get started at that time. I sent someone to make a medal with the preferences of the barbarians."

Chen Mu was stunned when he heard this. Why did the old man think about everything he wanted to do?

"This... I am so proud of my love for the military party!"

Zhang Han smiled with his white beard and said, "You seize Guanghaiwei, defend Guangzhou City, and kill Zeng Yiben, all of which are effective. These are your three military achievements; Guangxi Governor Yin Yang used your method to break the city occupied by Wei Yinbao, and the Military Weapon Bureau imitated the turbine gun and sent it to Beijing. This is also your wonderful achievements."

"I have reported these merits to the Ministry of War. Yu Zhifu is old, and Tang and Guo are not used. Your merits are enough to be in command of the commander's office or go to the Five Military Office to take important positions. However, I think it is not suitable. You are still young and have ambitions. It is not beautiful to go to those places to restrain you from multiple parties."

"And Guangzhou Prefecture is the Lingnan Metropolis, and the responsibility is extremely heavy, and this responsibility is on you."

Zhang Han said this very hard, and his eyes turned to Chen Mu and said, " Staying in Guangdong Dusi, being a commander, and awarding the rank of third-rank general is a grievance of your achievements. Be patient and staying for a few more years is also considered a training. If I am transferred to the Ministry of War in the future, I will definitely find a good place for you."

A talented general will not stay in the garrison, even if it is a third-rank commander.

But Chen Mu was the opposite of others. He wanted to stay in the ward office. The entire Xiangshan office was booming. At this time, he would be angry to death.

Although his achievements were there and he had expected the promotion, Chen Mu's heart beat hard when Zhang Han said in person that he had made contributions to him.

"When I returned to the Governor, I wanted to stay in Guangzhou Prefecture. Can the Xiangshan Institute be under the rule of the Huyi?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Han laughed heartily and did not answer his question. After stroking his palm, he raised his hand and signaled that he could leave. He rarely stood up and said, "I'm humble, call this for a few more days. Tan Butang and Wu Shilang are both soldiers. I have a plan to get started. It will take a few days to call himself the last general!"

"The road ahead is still long. You should pay more attention to your health and heal your injuries. Even if you have martial arts, you should not indulge in too much desire."

Zhang Han's words made Chen Mu confused. How could he, a big bachelor who had never been married, be related to indulgence?

Then he heard Zhang Han stand at the front door of the Governor's Office and said to him: "Many of your family are in the camp, so I'll have someone take you to Guangzhou Zuowei."

family?

Chen Mu seemed to know something.
