Yin Zhengmao likes Chen Mu's invincible situation.

The two chatted a lot. Seeing that it was getting late, Du Song went out to help Fu Yuan, a group of flag soldiers stationed outside the city, also delivered food to the two of them at the port restaurant and prepared some wine.

Originally, Chen Mu didn't want to drink with Yin Zhengmao, but now the situation is pretty good. At least in the next few years, he will be a colleague, so he asked someone to prepare the table, pack up and start to drink.

However, Chen Mu was still worried about Yin Zhengmao's greed for money. He knew that Yin Zhengmao had strong military, political and financial talents, and at the same time he knew that Yin Zhengmao was greedy for money. The problem lies in not knowing how greedy Yin Zhengmao was.

He poured Yin Zhengmao a small glass of wine, toasted him, and said, "I hope Princess Yin can take care of Hexingsheng more in the Western affairs. The prosperity of the business road depends on them. They not only concern customs taxes, but also in and out of materials, and cannot resist the blow."

Yin Zhengmao nodded, picked up the wine glass but didn't drink it. He thought for a moment before asking, "He Xingsheng, is it all related to Chen Shuai?"

He thought wrongly.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "They have nothing to do with Chen, none of them, they only have something to do with the Ming Dynasty. To be honest, the so-called Hexingsheng was in the early days. When Chen was still in Xiangshan Qianhu, it was indeed very related. When Yuegang opened, there was Chen's fifty ships. The next year, the 100 ships from Yuegang were out of the sea and 70 bows were nailed to Hexingsheng."

"At that time, in the Nanyang, the route from Japan to Penghu was Japanese pirates, the route from Fujian and Guanghai to Nanyang was smuggling maritime merchants, Malacca to Haojing was Portuguese, and Luzon was Western niche. Wu Gongqingyan promoted Chen Mu, the general banner of Xiangshan, and ordered me to control Haojing. The flag army was poor, and a thousand households only allocated five small boats with a hundred materials and a lucky boat."

The Grand Sima talked about Wu Guifang, which was an official position in charge of the world's military power in ancient times. It is no longer established now, but people call the Minister of War the Minister of War according to the old system.

In fact, Yin Zhengmao also added the position of Minister of War and was also the Grand Marshal.

"I'm not afraid of Mr. Yin's joke." Chen Mu said, recalling the poor and sad years ago, he smiled, raised his two fingers and said, "The two centipede ships with Chen Bu wolf machine are still the ones I took from the Portuguese."

"I shocked the Japanese pirates and let Hexingsheng not be robbed. They transported the necessary materials to Xiangshan and each took them away, but this was not the case later. Haojing opened the Fu, Yuegang added ships to attract ships, established the Nanyang Guard, and set up the Nanyang Military Office. The court relaxed the shipping of the Hexingsheng Merchants on the sea from 30 to 70, 70 to 200, 200 to 400, and 400 to more."

"In a few years, from Malacca to Japan, whether it was the maritime merchants who went out from Fujian and Guangxi or the Japanese pirates in the past, whether it was the immigrants who took refuge in various countries at the end of the Yuan Dynasty or the remnants of the Song Dynasty who crossed the sea, there were Ming ships with high dragon flags on all routes, and all Ming ships were prosperous."

"Hexingsheng became a relationship between overseas merchants and the imperial court. The military government expanded its routes outward and occupied. Merchants followed and made profits. In the war, they transported supplies to the army. After the war, they dumped goods on the spot and purchased specialty raw materials at low prices."

Yin Zhengmao interrupted Chen Mu and asked, "So, Jing Haibo wants to encourage Guangcheng merchants to weave and manufacture?"

Chen Mu smiled and nodded, but in fact he knew in his heart that the order should be reversed or more. This virtuous cycle was not formed naturally, but that he encouraged production, searched for buyers frantically, and continued to encourage production and technological innovation without hesitation to suppress goods. On the verge of collapse, he finally found a huge market that integrates over ten million people in Java, Annan, and Myanmar.

However, he was willing to weave this convincing lie. Later generations also felt that Britain became a first-class power and even the most powerful country in the world because of the Industrial Revolution.

But in fact, Britain was not because of the Industrial Revolution, nor was it Adam Smith's free economic theory, but because before Watt and Adam Smith's grandfather were born, they defeated the most powerful Spanish Empire's invincible fleet, fought for living space, and then challenged the sea coachman, the Netherlands, and established the dominance of the sea. After the Glorious Revolution, they continued to fight against the powerful France in every corner of the world.

It is powerful, plundering, and even more powerful.

It is the strong ship, the powerful gun and the sun never set that created the steam engine.

Chen Mu believed that Yin Zhengmao would not be willing to believe that he was a group of illegal people. The smuggling maritime merchants and his pirate leader in official robes found an excuse for expansion for the Ming Dynasty, and he would not be willing to believe that the Ming Dynasty had no demand at all. All they created was people's greedy desires.

But no matter what, the Ming Dynasty really has demand from overseas markets now.

He smiled and nodded, with a confident and confident expression: "It is precisely because the Ming Dynasty needs to produce more goods, that I encourage Guangdong merchants to produce and innovate technology."

"In the past, we only collected one tax in Haojing and Yuegang, but as long as we occupy a port and sign a treaty to open a fortune, we can collect taxes at the purchase place and the sales place. One of the taxes that originally belonged to other countries belonged to the military government. As long as the maritime route is prosperous enough, three miles a thousand miles apart, one port is enough for the military government."

"While the prosperous trade route can bring back more goods to the Ming Dynasty, we use our original money to buy back the raw materials, whether it is cotton weaving, cloth clothes, pearls, jade, gold and silver processing jewelry, etc., anything, the Ming Dynasty has excellent craftsmanship that most countries in the world do not have. After processing low-priced raw materials, they become high-priced goods, and then sold them back, five times or fifteen times?"

"With huge profits, merchants and craftsmen will improve their own technology, reduce costs, and earn more profits, and the Ming Dynasty will receive more taxes."

"So the more prosperous the trade route is, the more beneficial it is to the military administration and the more beneficial it is to the Ming Dynasty. This is the reason why I asked Duke Yin to take care of Hexingsheng and take care of them, and it is good for everyone."

Yin Zhengmao really understood what it means to go abroad this time, and he had answers to the reasons why the wealthy mansion of the Nanyang Military Palace had been answered before. He looked at Chen Mu with a more cautious look. He brought the sour wine with his hands and tilted it into his mouth. After a moment of pause, he swallowed his teeth and said, "Shi Shuai's words are very cruel to others, and for himself... they are a good prescription for the disease."

vicious?

Chen Mu chuckled softly. He could guarantee that Yin Zhengmao would be more vicious than himself if he knew what would happen after this.

You were originally a strong and fat little fat man. Others were all thin guys. They grew and developed and had meals a day. You had two meals a day. Others competed for each other but didn't dare to mess with you. You felt that you were satisfied with two meals a day.

But I didn't expect that others rushed to rush to death and didn't starve to death. Those people all had five meals a day, and you still had two meals a day.

How can I not beat you when others become strong? If you don’t beat you, you are afraid that you won’t be able to beat you. If you really beat you, it means you have the confidence to beat you.

In the future, others will eat too much every day, and if you lose weight, you will have to be beaten the next day. After you beat it up, I dreamed of the shocking years of being a fat boy, for fear that you will be fatter and stronger. He will also poop on your head, saying that you have poor genes and will not gain weight in nature - you will be fucked to believe it yourself!

But Chen Mu didn't expect that Yin Zhengmao was more vicious than him.

"Since that's the case, I should say the third thing to Chen Shuai."

He heard Yin Zhengmao slowly speaking: "Is that the 34th year or 35th year of Jiajing? I was appointed as the military officer. The southern Japanese and northern enemies were in trouble. Emperor Shizong also wanted to build a palace. The court had no money to use. I once submitted a report to increase the mint of copper coins, so I specifically investigated in Huguang. The land was suitable for both north and south and was easy to circulate. Therefore, I wrote to start collecting Yunnan copper, which was transported from Sichuan to Huguang. It was calculated that 390,000 taels of silver were minted with 650,000 coins, which could be worth 930,000 taels of silver."

"The Ministry of Revenue failed to pass. Once the journey to Huguang was long, the five directions of Chenglingji in Huguang were mixed together, and the treacherous and intrigue were easy to prosper. It was better to go to Yunnan. The land was remote and simple, which was called mountain drums. Because the land in Yunnan was not easy to circulate, the money could not be cast too much, and the price of more casting was damaged, so only 20,000 silver was paid, and 33,012,000 copper coins were cast in the mountains of Yunnan."

Chen Mu listened quietly and compared himself in his heart that one tael of silver was exchanged for 700-800-ciete copper coins on the market. Yin Zhengmao discussed minting coins, 390,000 taels were minted 650 million in minting, which would make 60% of them.

But it was a blessing that he dared to think that so many copper coins appear in one place at once will definitely make prices expand, and the people can't live.

Chen Mu blinked and looked at Yin Zhengmao waiting for him to continue to say the following.

"Japan uses copper coins, and the country's coin minting skills are not good, and the country's silver price is low, and a penny of copper coins can be worth four pens."

Chen Mu chuckled softly and said to Yin Zhengmao easily: "At the moment the two countries are at war, Mr. Yin's idea of ​​reselling copper coins to Japan for silver may be vain. Wait until the war is over."

"No, it's the moment! If someone else can't do this, Jing Haibo is different."

Yin Zhengmao sat upright, his cold expression made his nasolabial folds sink deeply, and his palm pressed on the table: "He Xingsheng had a deep relationship with Japanese merchants. Those merchants could pretend to be profiteers and go to Japan for business. In the face of military danger, military first, and mint money to buy all the items of their country. If they were not sold normally, they would not sell them. If they were smuggled soldiers first, they would not have that much money, and they would only give them a batch of soldiers. They agreed to sell them in large quantities next year, and then seek merchants to discuss purchasing miscellaneous items. Most of them would have to exchange for copper coins if they sold them."

"After you buy everything in the short term, you will block the sea and land routes, and you will not be able to fly for birds and fish... After a year and a half, the domestic prices have soared, and everything is missing. If you have nothing except copper coins, the country will be destroyed!"
