At Qi Jiguang's place, Chen Mu got several detailed pictures of Shuntian and Jizhen. The drawing method carved out of a mold made him recognize it at a glance from the practitioners of the Xuanfu Martial Arts Hall.

Chen Mu did not choose to ride a horse when he left Zunhua. He was escorted by Qi Jiguang's flag army to Kaiping Zhongwei on Yongping Prefecture. He took a boat along the Shahe River to Haikou. He said that he would return to Dagukou in less than an hour after sailing along the coast.

This river channel is extremely convenient and is the iron ingot coke transport channel that Chen Mu believes will be extremely prosperous in the future.

Back in Dagu, Chen Mu was no longer impatient and carefully sorted out his income from this trip. He was about to start investing in merchants to set up factories. Zhang Juzheng's unified tax law is not friendly to farmers in the northwest, but the advantage of using silver to pay taxes is generally more obvious.

Farmers gain more freedom and bring more vitality to the towns; if industry and businessmen do not have land, they can avoid Ding silver, which also encourages industry and commerce, which provides great help to what they want to do, but Chen Mu is not very satisfied.

Before leaving Dagu, he sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Juzheng's mansion. On the one hand, he expressed his idea of ​​doing a big fight on the eastern coast of Tianjin. On the other hand, he discussed with Zhang Juzheng again to pay heavy taxes to merchants, and asked him to consider his idea of ​​bringing the vassal kings abroad.

Needless to say, the issue of the royal family was 8 million stones last year, and the royal family also had 8 million stones of rice. In Chen Mu's opinion, where could not help the court "clean up" some vassal kings, it would be great to throw them out and be the island lord.

As for commercial tax, it is the place where Zhang Juzheng and Chen Mu have the biggest differences. Chen Mu advocates collecting 30% of heavy taxes for some merchants, and the rest related to people's livelihood will be subject to taxes ranging from 10 to 30 to 10 taxes. This is a cliché for him. Last time he went to Beijing, he talked about the heavy taxes on tobacco with the Ministry of Revenue.

This time, Zhang Juzheng put it aside again.

Zhang Juzheng did not mention the matter about the royal family at all in his reply.

As for the latter, Zhang Juzheng made an idea in his letter. Given that the Siyang Military Prefecture has become a foregone conclusion, all coastal provinces have chosen one port to open the money to standardize the management of the entry and exit of sea merchants, and impose heavy taxes of seven taxes and one tax. This basically continues Zhang Juzheng's previous standard for tax collection of sea merchants, while domestic industry and commerce still have a tax rate of thirty taxes.

Because he believed that heavy taxes on merchants would lead to adverse effects on the increase in prices, he quoted classics, including but not limited to Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Northern Song Dynasty Wang Anshi, Han Dynasty Sang Hongyang and Mencius to refute Chen Mu's heavy commercial taxes when he was fishing in the lake.

I still have money. In the past, Taicang silver was negative every year, and Longqing only saved more than 800,000 yuan. Customs duties and the Nanyang Military Prefecture Beijing Transportation increased the court's income by nearly 3 million yuan a year. The financial resources were not so tight, so the court's decision-making level felt comfortable all of a sudden.

If it were to be put before, Chen Mu should have accepted the loss of studying less and kept silent.

But I recently met Xu Zhenming and was inspired by his courage and the court refused to listen because I was not prepared enough. So I will conduct a field investigation and collect information to convince you with complete entries and practical plans!

Of course it's not all frustrating bad news.

"To establish a military weapon bureau, people who need to be familiar with the knowledge and practice. Guan Zun's squad is in charge of the Nanyang Military Weapon Bureau and transfer Guan Zun'er to supervise the Beiyang Military Weapon Bureau. Shao Xing and Shao Yong, who had once escorted ships, were also transferred here. He sent someone to Bozhou and asked Yinglong to find some skilled craftsmen who dig salt wells there, and then asked him to find a turret well there... there is no glass!"

"Send another letter to Haojing and give a reward. No matter which country the barbarians are, they should use the method of making glass. No, the Portuguese are smarter than the other. The method is probably not good. From now on, Haojing Customs will not accept any products similar to glass. It will offer rewards for Portuguese people who open glass factories in Haojing, hire workers, purchase materials and sell finished products for five years... After the factory is opened, people will learn their technology, and he will not be able to do the duty-free."

"You must also offer a reward in China. If there are those who make glass in the country, you should give a reward of 1,000 taels of silver."

In the back hall of the Hundred Houses of the Dagukou Fortress, Chen Mu and his staff gathered together. Several maps were scattered on the table, covering the capital, Bohai Bay, Huanghai Bay, Liaodong, North Korea and other places. Among them, the maps of Liaodong and North Korea are not accurate, and there are only rough patterns on a whole large map. The large map is a coastal route map.

At this time, Chen Mu used charcoal to draw several triangle areas of various sizes on the picture, and the starting point of each triangle area is Dagukou, Tianjin.

Many things need to be used for glass, and the only alternatives to glass in his hand are crystal and glazed. Crystals can only be cut but not fired twice. The manufacturing process of glazed glass is cumbersome and expensive, and it is not something that can be popular... In his plan, the Tianjin area will form a preliminary upstream and downstream industry, and glass factories are not the key, but it is used in many places.

Especially because Chen Mu wanted to set up a chemical experimental bureau in Beiyang.

"Beiyang will be a whole. This place can also have the benefits of canal transportation and sea transportation. Most resources are easier to obtain than the other side. Therefore, I want to set up the Beiyang Seventh Bureau here." Chen Mu said as he looked up at Du Song, Xu Wei, Xu Zhenming, Zhao Shizhen and others around him. After taking the white paper, he wrote: "Military Weapon Bureau, Breeding Bureau, Shipbuilding Bureau, Military Medical Bureau, Gunpowder Bureau, Experimental Bureau and Steaming Machine Bureau."

"All industries are aimed at the seven bureaus first and make profits. The factories around them are all set up with four officials and six civil banking shares. Domestic and foreign taxes must not be omitted. First, there are wood processing plants, which are under the jurisdiction of logging forest farms, which are temporarily used for construction. If you don't need them, you will specialize in wood processing, as well as brick factories and cement factories."

Chen Mu marked the sign on the picture here, just putting on wood processing next to Beiyang, and then heard Du Song say, "Master, the forest farm is closed, where does the wood come from?"

"There are many economic crops near the corner, and there is no shortage of cotton and cloth. We need to have a quilt factory to supply the army to produce cotton coats for wear in the north, and can also be sold to North Korea. We take wood in North Korea. This route is very convenient, with less than two thousand miles of round trip."

"The cement plant uses iron slag. The Military Bureau has a subordinate iron smelting plant, which can be supplied, and casting and forging is also solved; then paint making glue, oil refining, brick making and pottery making, paper printing, and leather goods forming a supply and demand chain. The downstream industries first ensure supply and then expand production capacity, and then sell it to obtain profits; the upstream industries have high technology and high profits, and there is a market with profits."

"What remains is breeding, the main purpose is to provide supplies to the flag army, and guard the Changlu Salt Field next to it. All this can not only make Tianjin larger, but also allow the Beiyang and Dongyang to have enough power to drive the north and reduce the pressure on the Nanyang Military Palace. The areas that Nanyang needs to explore are no less than those of the East and West Asian countries."

"In addition, after various factories are built, many disciplines used in industry can be established. The best technology and development context of skilled craftsmen from all walks of life in the world will be summarized in our hands and further developed. The connection between them and governing the country will be compiled and informed by us."

"Annan Myanmar is the granary of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon Sulu is the mine of the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea and Japan will be the forest farms, mines and markets of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations will say that the initial industrialization foundation of the Ming Dynasty was laid by our time in the world, and this picture is just the starting point."

"The court is responsible for the present of the Ming Dynasty, and the Beiyang is responsible for the future of the Ming Dynasty."
