Chapter 360 Inventory
The proud soldier is back!
Called by Chen Mu, Lin Afeng, who cleared Cebu Island and Panay Island, and Qi Zhengyan, who captured Panay Island, returned to Macheng together. Most of the soldiers and horses were still stationed in Panay Island, and they each returned with their entourage. , Shao Tingda led the main banner army to garrison the island.

Before discussing the matter, it is natural to reward the meritorious subordinates, and the meritorious service will naturally be returned to the emperor, but it is one thing to be rewarded by the court, and another thing to be rewarded by Chen Shuai.

"Lin Feng took the lead this time. The map is here, on Panay Island. Take over your subordinates and family members in Taiwan. Chen will pardon them with the emperor's edict, and you will continue to serve the court."

Emigrating to Luzon is not just for fun. Even if the people of Ming Dynasty starve to death, they are rarely willing to leave their hometown, let alone travel across the ocean.What's more, in the current Ming Dynasty, at least Guangdong can't starve to death. Now Guangdong's hired workers have attracted a large number of poor people from other provinces. How can he have any other strength to immigrate here.

The best chance is to take advantage of Lin Feng's meritorious service and get their family members here, and still live as ordinary people of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Chen Mu didn't forget to mention one more thing, saying: "Boss Lin, I know that your family has a great business, counting as five thousand or six hundred, no more. If there are more, the island can't afford to support it. I will give you the command. [-] mu of military land and [-] mu of sea land will be designated."

"Let your subordinates and family members recuperate on Panay Island, and you are allowed to build factories and ships on the island, raise horses and fish, dig mines to make sugar, log and mill rice, and deliver [-]% of all kinds of harvest to the Nanyang Yamen every two seasons, would you like it? ?”

Lin Feng was stunned. He had never seen anyone skinning as easily as Mr. Chen. He obviously recruited a lot of slaves for nothing, but he said it like a reward.Faced with the hope of getting on the right track, the all-powerful pirate leader shook his head like a tired old farmer pinching his joints to make the final calculation.

"Chen Shuai, with 12 mu of military land, even if it produces [-] shi of rice and grain a year, if you hand over [-] shi, there will be [-] shi left to support [-] families." Lin Feng looked at Chen Mu with difficulty, Said: "I can't support it!"

Chen Mu squinted his eyes and smiled, "I don't understand, there is no farming season, sow and reap as you sow, and you can grow rice for three seasons a year; so you only need 12 mu of military land to grow [-] Wanshi rice grains, and the rest of the sugar cane can be used to make sugar; in addition to sugar, you can also mine, fish, ship, and log, and these things can be exchanged for rice with the local people.”

"It's more than enough to support yourself. Didn't Mrs. Chen send you to Panay Island to survive? There are more than [-] soldiers in the [-] families. Can't you let Panay Island make the best use of it?"

Seeing Lin Afeng's eyes light up, Chen Mu quickly added: "Since you were awarded the command of Bannai, you are a fourth-rank military officer of the imperial court. people."

"Hireable, but not bullying."

There are quite a few locals on Panay Island. If Lin Afeng uses his ingenuity, there will be absolutely no problem supporting them here.

As for the subordinates of Qi Zhengyan and Long Junxiong, since most of them were Japanese, the rewards were heavily silver, armor, mail armor and matchlock guns.

When the rewards were over, all the cronies were dismissed, and only Chen Mu, Lin Afeng, Qi Zhengyan, and Long Junxiong were left in the room.

Only then did they turn their gazes to the Japanese map placed on the table. The map was too rough, the total area was not big, and it was extremely blurry.There are neither mountains and rivers nor the location of the city, it is just an outline.

Needless to say, Qi Zhengyan painted it.

Although he stayed in Japan for the longest time, he never systematically studied the method of drawing. The method of drawing was taught by Deng Zilong when Chen Mu was on his way north with the banner army. But at that time, Qi Zhengyan had already left Japan for a long time and had no time to learn it.

"This place is Kyushu, who is there, who can get in touch with, who is the weakest in the relationship, and who likes trade the most?"

Qi Zhengyan looked at the map and laughed. Nagasaki is on Kyushu Island, which is the place where he first landed. He said with a smile: "Kyushu has the largest three families, Otomo, Shimadzu, and Ryuzoji. Among them, Shimadzu is the weakest, and they like it the most. For trade, they have the most trade with Ryukyu and Portuguese, and they can also make bird guns by themselves.”

Shimadzu is the weakest?
In Chen Mu's impression, Kyushu should be the strongest in Shimadzu!

"Then, who can help us attack Maoli?" Chen Mu moved his hand to the right side of the map, moved to the land that is now Maori's former home, and said, "You can contact that mountain deer again, we can help They conquered the former land of Nizi's family, and saw Yinshan in stone, is there a problem?"

Qi Zhengyan thought for a while and said: "If you can beat Maori, a part of Yinshan should be reasonable."

"No, it's not a part, it's all." Chen Mu frowned as a matter of course, opened his hands and said, "Five years, I want the entire Yinshan to be mined for five years, and five years will be mined by my people, my technology, and a fully enclosed method." In the past five years, you will continue to sell them some ordnance, silk, cloth and even food."

Chen Mu raised his hand and said, "It's not free, you have to pay."

"If that's the case, they should agree."

Chen Mu spread out his hands, satisfied.

Of course, it is impossible to hollow out Ishi Jian Yinshan in five years, and of course it is impossible to get what Chen Mu wants.

But after five years, Iwami Ginzan can change his master.

"Tell me about Otomo and Shimadzu."

"Shimadzu is a poor ghost of Satsuma. Satsuma was just unified two years ago. There are troublemakers in the poor mountains and rivers. They are devoted to trading, but there is very little local production. Otomo is much better, and the relationship with Portuguese and barbarians is very hot. Sell ​​them, such as Guobeng."

Qi Zhengyan's summary of Shimadzu was somewhat unexpected to Chen Mu, and then he heard the new vocabulary of Guobeng and asked, "What is Guobeng?"

"Otomo's name is actually the Portuguese dealer who sold the Dafolang machine that he bought privately from Haojing to Hakata, and called it Guobeng."

Chen Mu scratched his head, with a dazed look on his face, "How could they buy a Dafolang machine, which was leaked out of the guard?"

"In the early years, the subordinates didn't know where it came from. It looks like a big Franji, that's right. The Franji in Portugal are all small. I have seen that we have a big Franji. The country of Otomo's family Beng is the same as that."

Chen Mu rubbed his hands with a troubled expression on his face, "It's not easy to deal with. Shimadzu has bird guns, Otomo has Franji, good things don't want to be sold, and bad things are owned by others... By the way, you said that the Longzuo Temple What about bird guns and Francine machines, does he have any?"

Qi Zhengyan thought for a while, shook his head slowly, and said, "It seems not."

Snapped!
Chen Mu clapped his hands and said: "Great, go and contact all three of them, Shimadzu poor, we sell them things like silk; sell some matchlock guns to Dayou, ask the bishop of Haojing to help him Do me a favor, I'll help Nizi's family with a dozen Maori after I convince Dayou."

"Finally, it's great to sell the matchlock bird gun to Longzao Temple."

Chen Mu rubbed his hands very excitedly, and said, "The matchlock guns in stock can almost be cleaned up!"
