Chapter 3 Fanjiao

When the county magistrate Zhou Xing left, Chen Mu's accompanying servant had already cleaned up the Qianhu House and set up a craftsman's room in the front hall. Cheng Hongyuan finally resigned from the doctor of Guangcheng Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau and followed Chen Mu to Xiangshan to take office.

The cattle and horses were the same. Except for Chen Qianhu's fire clouds, the other horses were used by the Qianhu's flag officials, and several cattle pulled by carts were handed over to the deputy Qianhu Sun Ao, who asked him to find a few flag soldiers to raise them and use them when farming.

After asking, Chen Mu realized that the guards of Qianhu District of Xiangshan were not old at all. Sun Ao was also a newcomer, and his contribution was similar to theirs. He was under the command of Zhang Yuanxun, the general of Fujian South Road. He followed Zeng Yiben, who had resisted and burned Chenghai County around the Chinese New Year and made great contributions and was promoted to Deputy Qianhu District of Xiangshan.

Like Wang Rulong, Zhang Yuanxun was the first to be the Qi family army.

There are no people in Fujian and Guangdong in this era who have nothing to do with Qi Shuai.

But Sun Ao was promoted to a deputy Qianhu from the sentry office, and Deng Zilong was promoted to a deputy Qianhu from the public to a secret. There was a fundamental difference in this matter.

"Brother Deng, if you don't have any soldiers, we have to recruit the officials, please don't quit. Be optimistic and solve it if there is any problem."

Chen Mu walked around the Qianhu Office, and then went back to the front hall to see two deputy Qianhu still sitting in the hall. Without waiting for Deng Zilong to speak, he said, "The soldiers from the camp are recruited. You two are all camp generals. Can you go to recruit soldiers?"

"Bai Qianhu used to recruit more than 400 households in Shaozhou to serve as military service. He was rich and generous and gave them three taels of silver. He also allowed the people to fish in Beijiang, Qingcheng. If Xiangshan is not learned, we can also recruit the people to serve as military service."

Chen Mu spread his hands and said, "Mr. Chen doesn't have that much money. I will give you two of you three hundred taels each and recruit 600 households. When the gang members come, Chen will first give three stones of grain, and each household will give one pride. When the local thieves in Huangliangdu will be matched, four thousand acres of Haiti will be fished and hunted for them."

"Six hundred taels?"

The first thing Deng Zilong thought about was not whether he could recruit Danmin, but where did Chen Mu get so much money.

It is normal for a fifth-rank military officer to take out a hundred taels of silver. It is not difficult to clear the family's fortune by gritting his teeth. However, Chen Mu, a thousand households, is a new member, and Deng Zilong is very clear about Chen Mu being the hereditary small banner official. He did not smoke in the ancestral grave and could not leave anything for him, but now he easily took out six hundred taels.

Deng Zilong thought about it for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Qianhu, has the rocket sold?"

But he still remembered that Chen Mu raised three fingers and asked him for five taels of silver!

Chen Mu smiled and said nothing, and asked the person to take 600 taels of silver to deliver it to two deputy households, saying, "The garrison is in chaos, you can get the people, and Chen will do the rest."

This time, he was actually lucky. Shao Tingda went to Yuegang to buy land and houses, but it was not as smooth as he told him. The court had a constitution, and officials were not allowed to buy land and houses for official places, and there was also a law to ask the seller about the neighbors. If you want to buy land and houses in the house, you must first ask about the house. Relatives and neighbors who signed the name on the stamp can only be sold if they are allowed.

But Shao Tingda did not have such a problem. The Japanese pirates made every household along the coast want to sell houses and land. Who doesn’t want to buy a house in the city? In the midst of a large wave of selling houses, the Shaw clans bought houses and bought land, and even the county magistrates in Yuegang were very supportive.

As for the silver in hand, it was exchanged for selling Qingyuan Custody grain. The Hundred Houses left more than 4,000 stones of grain in two quarters, leaving half of Bai Yuanjie and two thousand stones left for Zhang Yongshou at a discount for twenty ingots of gold.

One gold and eight silver, easy to carry.

In addition, there were 300 acres of private land to collect more than 800 stone grains that were not paid for two quarters, and they also sold them together. This time, they took out 600 taels and let two deputy and thousand households recruit soldiers, which was only half of their net worth.

But there is no such thing as Chen Mu.

No matter which yamen is in, there are very few people who can not make money from the yamen. There are not many people like him who get money from the yamen to the yamen.

But Chen Mu didn't think so, he regarded this as an investment.

Except for the nine sides, most garrisons in the world are difficult to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The thousand households in Xiangshan are different. In Chen Mu's opinion, guarding Hao Jing'ao and overwhelming the world is a merit that is within reach. Even Wu Guifang and Yu Dayou have long told him about Hao Jing'ao's tolerance and putting him in this place will also allow him to make meritorious contributions.

Once you can't start a full-scale war with the French and Italians. If you start a war, don't care about losing and winning. It's not the turn of the imperial court. The local officials in Guangdong will not finish it with him. The tax they value paying for the French and Italians is the general direction.

Second, the foreigners cannot be allowed to be in chaos in Haojing. He is incompetent in chaos, and the court and local officials will not let him go.

You must neither force it too much nor do anything. The degree in the middle is very important.

If you want to control your system and not fight against a surrendered army, you must have enough deterrence, no one can do it.

Two deputy Qianhu took the order and followed Fu Yuan and Guan Yuangu who were beside him. Guan Jiang looked at him and bowed his head to ask Fu Yuan to say first. Fu Yuan laughed and said, "Qianhu, my subordinates found three people who know the language. Two Ming people were waiting outside the Qianhu. Fanyi is a Taoist priest of the foreign sect. The humble rank let him wait in Haojingao."

"The Taoist priest of the Fan Cult?"

Is there any Taoist priest in foreigners?

Chen Mu turned his head a few times before he realized, and said, "You also got a missionary. Does he want Chen to invite him?"

"Yes, he came to teach some teachings, and said that he had found a master in heaven, and taught people to be a servant, and even Beizhi couldn't understand it. Just look at him taking water to wash the Japanese pirates' hair all day in Haojing, and after washing, he gave people cakes and grape juice to eat and drink. It was quite interesting."

Fu Yuan smiled and said, "No need to ask, no need to ask. The court has an order to prevent foreigners from going ashore, so he was asked to wait in Haojing. If Qianhu let him go ashore, Beizhi will bring him."

Catholicism.

Fu Yuan described it quite vividly, but he didn't know what he saw now that he was stupid and stupid, and how many people would become the Lord's lambs in the future, and what would he bring to the Dongfang.

In Chen Mu's view, the shallow and barbaric values ​​of this era in the Western world are fully expressed in missionary and plunder.

The believers are the Lamb of their Lord; the Pagans are the Lamb of their Lord's Lost.

What they plunder is their old continent; what they did not plunder is the new continent they discovered.

They are all theirs.

At this time, the missionaries had been trapped in Macau for a long time. It has been more than 20 years since they were defeated by the Ming navy at the sea with the Portuguese military invasion to seeking a corner of Macau by relying on bribing local officials.

"Don't rush to see the missionaries. After waiting for so many years, I will never see you for this time. I will wait for all the guards to see you again."

It was from both sides that inquire about the news. Chen Mu was not as unfamiliar with the Western environment as the Ming people. In his memory, the first time missionaries came to China, they all brought the unclean purpose of the Ming Dynasty's political, economic and military.

The Ming Dynasty had not allowed these missionaries to achieve results for more than 20 years, and he could not expose the relaxed virtues of the Southeast Guard in the blink of an eye.

"I asked you to find a Mingren, why did you find two?"

Fu Yuan scratched his ears and said embarrassedly: "I have found a few people who can speak Chinese and speak aphrodisiacs, but most of them are Japanese pirates and dare not go ashore. One of these two people is a prostitute in Haojing. I am afraid that thousands of households will not like it, so I found the Ming entourage of the Taoist priest of the foreign sect."

"The missionary's Ming entourage? Did you let him into the garrison?"

Chen Mu wiped his hand on his face, and was still careful here, but he put the person in, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let them wait first, find a room to settle down, and don't let them go out if they are ready. What's wrong with Guan Jiang?"

Guan Yuangu, who was beside Jiuhou, was not impatient, and bowed and said, "Qianhu, the short gun has been made for a long time. You haven't asked if you want to take a look?"

"Ha, forget this!"
