Chen Mu's luck has always been very good.

Compared to how to give him the county government, the governor's office, and the military department to give him a real official position that matches his military achievements, it is easier to fight bloody battles on the battlefield.

Bai Yuanjie has been experiencing the general flag since the small flag. As Bai Yuanjie said, Chen Xiaoqi just slept in Anyuan Station for a winter, and after hibernation, he became the general flag smoothly.

This time, Zhang Yongshou mentioned that the three of them worked together to rely on their military merits to suppress the thieves to take over the three most important official positions in the Thousand Households of Qingcheng, and took over the hundreds of houses under their jurisdiction. Chen Mu became a thug who usually sweats less and bleeds more during wartime.

Reap profits.

In Chen Mu's opinion, the conversation between Zhang Yongshou and Bai Yuanjie was somewhat tactful. At least Bai Yuanjie mentioned that the Zhang Yongshou family was mining and copper mines in Qingyuan.

But he still couldn't understand some things. Why did Zhang Yongshou only take the custody of the clerks, but he had to hand over 30% of the copper mine to the Qianhu House of Qingcheng, and he agreed readily.

If you can't figure it out, you have to ask. It's not bad to know more about things.

On the third day at the foot of the garrison room, Chen Mu took advantage of the opportunity to lead his troops to patrol and return it, and expressed his doubts to Bai Yuanjie, but it made Bai Yuanjie laugh endlessly.

"Do you think Zhang Yongshou wants only comforting? That's not the case." Bai Yuanjie waved her hand, poured two bowls of water, and then continued to say: "What he wants is some of the military achievements of you and me in the future. Lao Zhang's family has two large mines in Qingyuan, one for gold and the other for copper. Compared with the large copper mine, it can only burn tens of thousands of kilograms of copper soil a year."

"Thirty percent, it will be used as a cannon in the place, with a full calculation, two thousand kilograms of cannon bronze."

Chen Mu blinked, is it bigger than the copper mine?

That means there are also many gold mines in the Zhang family!

In Chen Junye’s opinion, no mine is as good as gold mines! Isn’t that a mountain of gold and silver?

"Qingyuan not only has copper ore, but also gold ore?"

"Hmph, what's the matter with Qingyuan except silver mine?" Bai Yuanjie took a sip of water and put down the bowl heavily. "There are four mines in Qingcheng alone, the Tieshan you have been to, the Tongshan of the Zhang family, the coal mountain of Qianhu in the past, and a Xiaoyu mountain."

However, as he said that, the pride in Bai Yuanjie's tone became weaker, "Although there are many mines, there are no craftsmen, they all filter water and burn soil. I heard that some local official mines burned with water and fire, digging mountains to get stones, and making profits ten times that of Qingcheng!"

Chen Mu seemed to have a vague impression of the method of burning and explosion, but he couldn't understand the principle, and he had just heard of it in general. Besides, he was not interested in this matter. As for the mine, isn't the mine burning with explosives?

The cracking of the soil and opening up the mountains is the only general of Gunpowder!

What interested Chen Mu the most was that Chen Junye rubbed his hands and showed his charity, "That, Qianhu, what mountain do you have in your family?"

All of my ancestors were commanders, and Bai was later than Zhang. Does the family also have some gold and silver mountains?

Chen Mu had no idea of ​​inquiry, he was just curious.

"My family has no mountains, what do you want to do?" Bai Yuanjie seemed very surprised. "It's better to train soldiers and kill thieves when they dig mountains and work hard. Besides, I'll just ask them for it."

I'll just ask them for it.

Just ask them for it.

Just do it.

So tyrannical!

But it’s good to be overbearing!

Chen Mu immediately rubbed his hands even harder, raised them over his head and clenched his fists and said, "Thousands of households, the iron armored iron swords of the flag army are almost abandoned for a long time, and the iron ore is expensive and unable to buy them. A bird gun costs four taels of silver. When you return to Qingyuan, get a few thousand kilograms of iron? This is a good saying. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!"

Bai Yuanjie rolled her eyes and said, "As the saying goes, people's hearts are not enough, snakes swallow elephants! If you have a few thousand pounds, you won't know how to use iron. Iron is different from iron. If you want to shoot bird guns, you have to use iron from Fujian. How dare you use guns made from Qingyuan pig iron?"

"It's easy for you to really want iron. The iron mountain you're still empty. Go dig yourself. How much you dig is counted as much as you want - that's all the time. Don't get into money every day and plant good soldiers and train them well. Look at General Qi's soldiers, even a single piece of money should be missing."

The flag army, who had eaten the whole meal but had no meals, had to fight, dared to eat two meals a day, wore iron chip armor and almost rotten spears to compete with the Qi family army. Isn’t this a hooligan!

There is no shortage. General Qi has Hu Zongxian, Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng's strong support. What do you have in Qingyuanwei?

There is a chicken!

Chen Mu curled his lips, of course he didn't dare to say this to Bai Yuanjie. He was so grateful that he would say hello to Bai Yuanjie and went back to the military tent to sleep with satisfaction.

Bai Yuanjie let go of the private ownership of the Tieshan Mountain in Qingcheng. In the future, the mine belongs to his Chen family. Even if the taste of the Tieshan in Qingcheng City is low, it doesn’t matter. Even if the Fujian Tie can shoot eight kilograms of gun iron with 40 kilograms, he will dig sixty kilograms and eighty kilograms - he has people!

To put it bluntly, the gun iron is just that. It’s nothing more than that we can’t be too hard and need flexibility and elasticity to ensure less explosions.

Chen Junye was full of intelligence and talent, so he went back in a hurry and got out the hydraulic forging hammer!

However, there is a prerequisite for this. He must be the deputy Qianhu of Qingcheng as Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou discussed. Otherwise, with a transfer order, he would be the chief officer of Guangzhou Prefecture, and he would be crying without any place.

At least in Chen Mu's opinion, Deng Zilong's Guangdong general is not as comfortable as his Qingcheng general flag. Although Deng Zilong leads troops almost ten times as many soldiers as him, even the supply of gunpowder is above the flag army, the general soldiers on the battalion have no restraint ability except for war training, and they are just ordinary officers.

The flag army is different.

The guard officials are not only officers, but also control the civil affairs power of the guard office. They hold the body and soul of the guard office flag army. They make people squat while eating by the stream and cannot sit in the forest to eat, and whip this generation. Even if the next generation dies, they still have to work hard for the guard officials.

In order to ensure production and service, and to fill your personal pockets, the guard officials must find a delicate balance between not having enough food and not being hungry, and under this balance, a delicate stability is formed.

The Central Plains dynasty was at the cost of delaying progress, and the stability sought was particularly evident in the increasingly collapsed Weishi system.

Even though the guards were oppressed to such an extent, there were still only fleeing soldiers and no mutiny.

After Chen Junye was asked to bring good luck to at least a hundred households after the war, the flag army relaxed at the foot of Shishan for a few days, but it was only a few days.

Because after five days, Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie discussed with each other and estimated that General Yu Dayou had led the army to cross Xinjiang, and General Yu's military strategy would definitely not lose to a bandit like Li Yayuan who was the king.

In Chen Mu and Bai Yuanjie's view, this means that a small but endless rebel stragglers will travel through Shishan.

The flag army even had the ropes to tie people up. It seemed that everything was ready, but Chen Mu found that he had only guessed the beginning correctly, but not the end.
Chapter completed!
