When Chen Jiujing rushed from Qilin Guard to the Dongyang Military Palace, the atmosphere inside the yamen was very solemn.

Cheng Dawei led the judiciary to recruit urgently, and submitted a complete report to Chen Mu before the case through calculations.

They used limited known conditions to present England, a small country unknown to Chen Mu, simply before his eyes through difficult calculations.

If it weren't for this calculation, everyone would think that England is just a weak country without any threat, including Chen Mu.

But in fact, the two data can make people feel the situation in England intuitively.

Cheng Dawei said: "This year, the military government minted 2.3222,200 taels of coins for Spain in accordance with the treaty, and the Westerners transported 2.732,000 taels of silver ingots to Potosi."

"The total amount of goods sold to Europa countries last year was about 4439,000 taels of silver."

Cheng Dawei raised his hand and said, "England is only similar to the Iberian Peninsula, but it can sell such goods and gather more than four million taels of silver in China every year. This is just the goods they sell."

"The goods sold are not produced, even if they are not consumed in China, and they are trying to find new buyers, so they speculate that they will produce only more goods than this, and will not be less than this."

"In combination with what King Ailan said in recent years, many nobles of the British have been raising sheep in enclosures and wanting to produce more wool, I am afraid that their country will produce more goods this year than last year."

Cheng Dawei said that this involuntarily nodded in an attempt to strengthen the reaction of others to what he said: "If the Ming-made wool wool sold in England is 390,000 pieces, this is a big number. In terms of wool wool, the emerging Beiyang, and Dongyang weaving are far from comparable to it."

"We don't know that this year, the year before yesterday, the number of woolen sold in England cannot be known as the growth level. However, the young English, who stayed in the victorious, said that they sold much less wool last year, only four or five thousand bags, and they should still be growing."

These data made Chen Mu feel a headache.

This data sheet means that in terms of weaving, it is not enough to say that he cannot rely on existing forces to kill the manufacturing of English weaving in the short term, even if he brings the entire Ming Dynasty.

Because the area where wool weaving was the most commonly used in the Ming Dynasty or ancient China was in the northwest, even if he handed over the handbook to the court, it would be difficult for the court to mobilize wool processing products for him from the northwest.

The sea trade road consumption is low but the risk is relatively high. The land transportation risk is low but the road consumption is scary. Transport east and west from the northwest to the east and then take the sea route. When transported over, you have to send it to England. One or two taels of things can turn into thirty taels or even more.

The decision to purchase wool outside the entrance of Guancheng was his proposal before crossing the sea. Beiyang's productivity was in ruins. Moreover, there were many industries. Even if there were better machines, they could not produce 10,000 pieces a year. What's more, there was not enough quantity. These excellent wool products were sold domestically in a blink of an eye and could not wait for export.

"That is, we need to dump other goods first to exchange for wool, what is the right one?"

"I never thought of doing such a huge business, but if the Grandmaster asks, the villain can only estimate it."

Cheng Dawei answered firmly: "Cotton cloth, dumping cotton cloth into northern Europe, including England, to curb the English woolen market."

Chen Mu, leaning on the chair, tapped his head rhythmically with a hard pen, without saying anything.

Cheng Dawei means to use cotton cloth as a substitute for wool and replace part of the wool market with a more suitable price and better quality.

This is indeed feasible in Chen Mu's consciousness: "But there are two problems."

"In comparison, the bigger possibility is that we have snatched the linen market, and the wool velvet is affected by very little."

The target customer group of cotton and wool velvet are different. It is easy to say in other seasons. In winter, it is difficult for people who can afford wool velvet to wear cotton products that are relatively poorly maintained.

Unless it is made into winter clothes, the Ming Dynasty's winter clothes are far from being exported in large quantities, which is too luxurious. I don't know how many border guards in the northern border are still frozen because they have not had good winter clothes.

"Also, there is only so much cotton cloth in Fujian and Guangxi Provinces, which is the most important equivalent of the South and Western Military Administration in overseas trade. Relying on this, we have destroyed the native weaving industry of the Eryang countries. It is rare that they can transfer 300,000 to 500,000 pieces to me."

Chen Mu didn't say the following words, 300,000 pieces of cotton and 500,000 pieces of cotton are used to make money through trade, but if you want to use them to fight an economic war?

But the water drops.

This amount will expand at least ten times or even twenty times, but that is already a expense that Chen Mu cannot afford...even if he can make money.

The entire Dongyang Military Office does not have that much principal, and it is even more impossible for him to buy so much cotton on credit. Not to mention that he is an important official in Beiyang, even if he is the chief minister of the Beiyang minister, he cannot do it. Tens of millions of pieces of cotton are almost the sum of the three years of the court's cotton color.

This is because customs duties surge and cotton is the top priority for overseas trade. If it is let go, it will take 1989 to 1999 that the court will collect so much cotton.

If you forcefully write a report to the court, it may pass or transfer it, but the bigger possibility is that the cabinet boss will ask him: "Why are you persistent in bullying the border and the contemptuous England?"

How did he explain?

More than two hundred years later, this country wants Chinese people to pay one or two silver taels of silver?

Or should we say directly that because England's enterprising will allow it to dominate the world in the long years to come?

This seemed to be unrelated to the people of the Ming Dynasty. Unless they were already trapped in war, the people living on this land since ancient times have never been shameful.

To be honest, Chen Mu was in a dilemma. He hoped to launch an economic war to put England in a situation of internal and external difficulties, so that he could disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit to the greatest extent and inject fresh blood into the booming New World - but he miscalculated England's production capacity.

Who would have thought that England already had strong production capacity and irreplaceable fist products before successfully resisting the attack of the Spanish fleet?

Chen Mu didn't know this reality before he came into contact with the English.

"Master, the villain dares to make a promise."

Cheng Dawei saw Chen Mu's dilemma. He had some understanding of the financial resources of the Eastern Military Office. It was difficult for the Eastern Military Office, whose production capacity and total wealth were only similar to England's annual export volume, to pose a real threat to it in trade.

But in terms of business, he has more common sense than Chen Mu.

After obtaining the permission, Cheng Dawei said: "It is okay to keep a person from talking and spend a lot of effort to cover his mouth, but it seems better to tie the neck with less effort. England's wool seems to be from Spain. As long as the Grand Marshal cuts off his wool supply from Spain, the production of England's wool will be greatly reduced."

"At the same time, the provinces that produce cotton cloth in the state are not the only provinces in Fujian and Guangxi. May the Grand Marshal teach Songjiang to open the Fu?"

Cheng Dawei was a little excited and held his hands tightly under the table. In fact, the merchants who would follow the overseas military offices were all officials and businessmen, and their interests were tied to the military offices, which benefited the country and self-interest.
