Chen Mu didn't know how many methods there were in his mind, but he didn't say them.

He just showed just the right surprise and disbelief, and opened his mouth: "I don't know if the old master is interested, he will definitely be able to persuade all officials to act. Chen is just a military general, so it would be fine to be prepared to be loyal to the country."

Wu Dui was a little surprised and laughed: "From Jumahe to Wanquandusi, Chen Shuai doesn't look like a person with no idea."

"Chen has always been very intentional, to make the flag army full of food, to make the guns and cannons strong and durable, to save military expenses for the court, and to save trouble for the officials. As you can see, Chen has always been very intentional."

Chen Mu showed his hands in the tea case, as if his teapot was a complete line of defense, the Military Weapon Bureau. Then he poured a cup of tea bowl and said, "Chen can make all his ideas and be sure to do it well, but the major affairs of the country are in sacrifice and military affairs, which is not something that can be made by his subordinates."

"But Chen Shuai seems to have made up his mind."

Wu Dui sighed silently, covered his teacup, and said to Chen Mu: "Whether the general returns to the Nanyang Guard, he can move gold and silver in Nanyang to a huge amount of 400,000 taels, and more than 200,000 taels of levy every year in northern Xinjiang. If two or three years later, the amount of silver would be as much as one million taels."

"General Wu Mouguan's food and clothing are no different from ordinary people. He uses food and clothing in daily life, except for the family members, and only has one or two taels of rituals. He neither buys land nor buys land, and the expenses are not as good as the official salary and eleven fields. If the general does not fight for the southern expedition, what's the use of hiding millions of gold and silver?"

What Wu Dui did not expect was that General Chen, who was sitting in front of him, looked like he suddenly realized and said, "Is there already so much?"

Wu Dui suddenly didn't want to continue talking to Chen Mu.

He had been an official in Beijing for more than ten years, and just before the New Year, he finally gritted his teeth and saved enough money to buy a larger house in Beijing. He didn't dare to buy it yet, because at the critical moment of his career, the money he bought was actually given to the Beijing army and other gifts he had in the past few years.

Wu Dui remembers even a single son in the family clearly.

What did you Chen Mu just say? There are so many things already, right?

He looked like he didn't know how much money he had - Governor Wu measured the physique, age, and martial arts gap between the two parties, and decided not to argue with the younger generation.

Humph, if Wu is twenty years younger, there will be big news in the officialdom tomorrow that the governor beats the generals!

"It made Brother Wu laugh. The gold and silver are not Chen, but Chen is the Nanyang Guard of the imperial court and the Wanquan Line of Defense. Chen believes that instead of letting others squander the gold and silver, Chen is better off using them in a more important place."

"It's a pity that the Martial Arts and Maritime Memorial did not receive a response from the court. Otherwise, Nanyang would not be like this now. The court should have some more silver if it was Taicang at the end of the year."

"I don't know much about the difficulties and hardships of officials and Zhao Li, Chen Mu doesn't understand them at all. He will only take advantage of the officials, manage some business matters, and make weapons. But I am the general of the Ming Dynasty, just like General Ma understands the military affairs of the northern border best, and I am also concerned about the maritime affairs of the South China Sea."

"When the country reaches this point, the muskets sent to the Southern Guards will explode. The Northern Guns invaded Bian Taicang but did not have Yu Yin to pay the military pay for the next year - there is money overseas."

Chen Mu felt that his expression must be heartbroken. He was indeed very painful. He felt that he used his tricky lips and tongue to deceive an honest man like Governor Wu. His conscience was aching faintly, but he still skillfully opened his arms and hammered it on the tea case, and said generously: "If others don't build sea boats, if others don't build guns, I will make it. If the court has no silver to allocate funds, I will make it myself, and put it in the garrison account."

"I'm afraid of being suspicious. Mr. Chen doesn't have a house in Guangdong. If His Majesty had not given me a mansion, and after his dismissal, there wouldn't be a wall to shelter me from the wind and rain in Guangdong, it's because I know what others don't know."

"In the South Ocean, those barbarians crossed the sea as wide as the land of the Ming Dynasty, from Malacca to Haojingao, from Haojingao to Japan, from Japan to Luzon, and then from Malacca to their country. A beggar drove a board and went to Haojing to buy a lucky ship. When he returned to Haojing from Japan, the wealth accumulated in the business was enough to buy ten great lucky ships. When he carried tea, porcelain, and silk across the ocean, he could become a rich man."

Chen Mu met Wu Dui's incredible expression and nodded seriously: "Most of the people who did this are dead."

"Shipwrecks, pirates, and officers and soldiers from all over the country along the way are easy to kill them. After all the disasters, only one of the ten people can go back alive. But this person has bought the wealth of a thousand people. When he comes again, he will drive a large ship full of desperadoes, a bird gun cannon, and a big ship that rides the wind and waves, and no one can kill them."

Chen Mu opened his five fingers and said to Wu Dui: "That was the situation when the Battle of Tuen Mun 50 years ago. When Portuguese Yi first came, they would make a comeback one day. When Chen was still the small general banner of Qingyuan Guard, Wu, who was the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, then appointed Chen as the Qianhu, the Qianhu family in Xiangshan. At that time, he asked his subordinates to curb the foreign powers and defend Haojing."

Of course they will make a comeback. Chen Mu knew very well that even if they didn't want to come, Chen Mu would have to create conditions for them to come.

"Chen understands Fanyi and knows that they will make a comeback. When their warships come back, I will ensure that they are buried under the sea like their ancestors."

Wu Dui didn't know how to respond to Chen Mu. Should he say that he was too worried? Or should he comfort him and not think too much?

No matter what, Wu Dui felt that this was not what he should say to Chen Mu. It was Gao Gong, not him, Wu Dui.

Chen Mu had a generous face, but his heart was a little upset.

Did Wu Dui see something, otherwise why wouldn't he speak?

He gritted his teeth and said, "When will send troops and when to fight, that is the decision that Mr. Gao wants to make. Chen can do it only when he sends troops, so that His Majesty and the Master will have no military expenditure or worry about weapons."

"Mr. Chen doesn't know what to do to win people with virtue. He only knows that we are a general of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has no money now and has money overseas. All the world is the king's land, even if it is the sea, it is also the king's land."

"If the court wants to use it, the cabinet masters will only send a letter, and Chen will only leave one hundred taels. One hundred taels is enough for Chen to live freely, and the remaining silver will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue immediately. If the court does not use it, Chen will prepare for another two years, raise millions of gold and silver, train strong soldiers, build guns and cannons, and build giant ships. Just wait for His Majesty to agree with the cabinet ministers to the south to fight, and help the court to go to Nanyang again without spending one tael of silver."

This was not what Gao Gong said, because Chen Mu knew that Gao Gong would not stay in the cabinet for so long, and his emperor would probably not live for so long.

But this is meaningful, because meaningful words can only be said to those who can understand them.

"The Yu Shuai, Tang Shuai, and famous generals from Guangdong are everywhere. If they go to Southeast Asia, the barbarians are not worth worrying. They will give the court at least 500,000 taels of silver a year. How happy is Chen to enjoy the joy of the world in the capital?"

"If this is not enough, if you are not talented, you will not be better than the generals."

"But use me." Chen Mu said as he stood up, raised his two fingers, chuckled, and raised his face slightly: "Double the silver two."
