In the autumn of the seventh year of Wanli, Lautaro led 373 subordinates to Panama. He did not come to see Chen Mu specifically, but asked Deng Zilong to send someone to send a message to Changsheng. The group of people were wearing Western armor and carrying Western-made messengers on their shoulders. They crossed the border with firm steps and entered Colombia under Spanish control.

On the same day that Changsheng received the news that Lautaro led his troops to enter Colombia, he arrived in the Gulf of Mexico, a fleet belonging to Shi Xiaolou, who was under the name of Hexingsheng Company, and then Shi Xiaolou appeared in the Oriental Military Office.

Only one day and one night behind the rider.

"Everyone has arrived in the Gulf of Mexico, this journey is not short." Chen Mu looked at Shi Xiaolou, who was exhausted and said, "Why not take a rest in Port Wei for a few days before coming here? I heard that your fleet has gained a lot, so don't be so anxious to report the good news, right?"

Shi Xiaolou was meticulous in his clothes. It was obvious that he went to the military palace to visit Chen Mu and specially dressed up and changed his clothes. However, his tired expression could not be washed off, which made him look a little vicissitudes and embarrassing, but his eyes were shining.

He raised his hand and said, "For the blessing of the Grandmaster, this voyage lasted more than August. It passed through England, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Morocco, Mali, Sonhai and Brazil. The triangular route was very successful!"

"The value of the goods is still being planned for the gate of the gate of the New Spain Governor Yang in Port Wei. The port there is small and there are few people. It is not clear in less than half a month. However, even if you are still on the sea, it should be no less than 270,000 taels."

"If two ships had not sunk, there would have been another 60,000 taels."

Shi Xiaolou said with a slight brow, and saw Chen Mu frowning and asked, "It's so heavy, why is it so heavy?"

The goods worth 60,000 taels are taxable, and no wonder Chen Mu frowned.

"I met a robber in the Netherlands and were robbed of two ships. Later, I negotiated with the seven northern provinces to get back one, and the other was sunk. There was another one on the southwestern coast of France. When General Nine Crucifix attacked Bordeaux, the French fleet did not reach General Nine Crucifix, but saw my ship."

"Later, I had to retreat to the north, and after resting, I took a detour to Spain."

Shi Xiaolou said, and laughed and waved his hand, "This is not important, Grandmaster, I brought back French duck down and dyes; Venetian glass purchased from the Netherlands; four ships of Spanish wool were the most cargo; and the gems brought back by Morocco, Marin and Sanghai and the gold exchanged for goods by General Yang Ce of the Han Dynasty, the gold alone was 600 kilograms."

"There are also Brazil's mahogany. This year, we will find out the route with cargo from all over the country. This route will be easier next year. Hexingsheng can ship more ships."

Shi Xiaolou spoke very fast, which made Chen Mu no chance to interrupt. He said like a gun: "In addition, the fleet also brought back the alliance of the seven northern provinces of the Netherlands, the Duke of France's Duke of France's request, and the kings of Morocco, Malin and Sanghai hoped that there would be fixed routes to trade every year in the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Mu was a little confused when he heard this a lot of words. After digesting it, he asked: "It sounds like you have solved the problem of the Netherlands. What's going on in France? The Nine Classics attacked Bordeaux?"

"Returning to the Grand Marshal, General Jiujing recruited Western mercenaries in a harbor called Bilbao in northern Spain, and attacked Bordeaux with more than 4,000 troops. Within ten days of the battle, Jianbi Qingye defeated the defenders who left the city to fight. However, the headquarters was in great casualties and was unable to continue attacking the city, so he asked them for ransom and went back."

"I was not coincidentally sailing south along the west coast of Europe at this time, and hurriedly led the fleet to flee back to the port in northwest of France, where the fleet was properly cared for by the Duke of Gith. He highly praised General Nine Crucifix for attacking Narva Henry, and asked the villain to send a letter to General Nine Crucifix."

"By the way!"

Shi Xiaolou said something and said to Chen Mu: "When I sent the letter to Governor Li in Seville, the Governor asked me to send back the spoils of General Nine Classics. It was originally a hundred war horses, and sixteen died of bumpy seas. They were all very tall mares. They were now taken back to Mexico City by Governor Yang to take care of them."

Chen Mu was even more confused. He was a little suspicious of his ears: "It sounded like he had snatched Bordeaux, and then the Duke of Gith from France also praised Jiu Jing for snatching their city?"

"France is very chaotic. King Henry is not in charge. The queen interferes in politics. The Spanish and English are all competing. The leader of the Northern Catholic Union is Duke of Gith, and the leader of the Southern Protestantism is Narva Henry. They have been fighting each other for a long time."

"The Duke of Gith also wanted to attack Narva with the General Nine Crucifixion. No matter how many villains there were, they only knew that the north had a good relationship with Spain, and my merchant ship was quite safe there."

Chen Mu nodded slowly, remembering these names, but he didn't know much about more things, so he still had to wait for Chen Jiujing and Li Dan to send back the information.

However, Chen Jiujing asked Shi Xiaolou to send back the war horses, which made him very interested. It seemed that the adopted son had found a good horse breed and wanted to send it back as a breeding horse. This was undoubtedly a great thing. If Chen Mu hadn't had anything else in his heart, he would have asked someone to bring the horse back from Mexico City for him to see it now.

This thing that was more important to him in his heart was nothing else, but Shi Xiaolou just said: "I heard you talk about many countries, including Europe and Africa, and the countries you go to want to trade with us... Why are there only fewer English people, and they don't want to trade with us?"

Shi Xiaolou only mentioned that he went to England, but he did not want to trade and trade without England, nor did the goods he carried without England.

When talking about England, Shi Xiaolou shared his expression happily and finally calmed down a little. After he breathed a long time, he nodded slowly and said, "Go back to the Grand Marshal, England is really hard to say. They don't want to trade with us."

"I went to their palace according to the terms of trade issued by the Grand Marshal to England, but the Queen did not want the trade to be carried out in England, and also hoped to go to the Gulf of Mexico to buy and sell goods, and they were not very satisfied with the taxes issued by the Grand Marshal."

"In addition, I also saw their goods."

Shi Xiaolou shook his head and said, "There is nothing to buy. I have seen all the goods. They are too expensive and are not unique to the British. Many of their merchants have opened factories in the Netherlands. The wool is not as cheap as Spain. I really want to buy whatever I want. England is an excellent place to sell goods, but not a good place to purchase goods."

"It's wet and cold, there's not enough food to eat, and the barbarians can't cook. It feels like a waste of food on purpose. Trade is still a trivial matter. When it comes to the later Queen has accepted the establishment of a special trading port in southern England - but their Queen does not agree to the establishment of a commercial station in Ireland."

Shi Xiaolou said regretfully: "There is no room for mediation."

"You did a great job, so good, don't worry about England."

If this voyage takes place in another world known to Chen Mu, it will be recorded in history, because these powerful countries are on the eve of a huge change.

But in this world, Chen Mu could only let Shi Xiaolou have a good rest and spend some days preparing to go to Port Wei in the Gulf of Mexico to receive the escort ship granted by the imperial court according to taxes.

Because these countries soon become less powerful and lose their potential for strength.

No room for talk?

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and chuckled softly.

Then let’s not talk about it.
