open sea

Chapter 949 Order
The six Spanish nobles were very proud when they went back. They felt as proud as they had personally experienced the process of marking the Pope's meridian.

Yang Ce was not in a hurry to leave. His pirate subordinates had been floating on the sea for several months. Let's spend a lot of time.

"Marshal, this band of pirates is too rich!"

Zou Yuanbiao's eyes were about to turn into the shape of silver ingots. He raised his hand and gestured in front of him with staring eyes, "Yang Ce received 3000 million Tongbao from the Yamen six days ago, and another 300 million, 300 million after spending yesterday. Tong Bao, if he stays here for a year, the tax collected by the county government will not be enough for him!"

Changsheng no longer prints money. The total amount of money printed is fixed at 160 billion Tongbao, worth 600 million taels of silver. They don’t have so much silver, but the money is not all live money. It is really circulating in the market. Tongbao does not exceed 20 billion.

The vast majority of people will deposit their money in the Military Bureau of Commerce and exchange it for an exchange ticket. Of course, smart people exchange Tongbao for Tongbao. The two counties with the most immigrants, Changsheng and Jincheng, have used policies to prevent the common people from hiding their money. Habits in the cellar.

Yang Cehua's Tongbao was withdrawn. They had a lot of goods on board, but they were all parked in Sanctuary Bay and sent people to collect gold and silver, so they needed to withdraw.

The means of withdrawal is seizure, and their armor, weapons, artillery, and portable jewelry are all mortgaged in Changsheng. Although they are not worth 4000 million Tongbao, after all, the belongings of more than 600 people can be worth more than ten million. This is also Zou Yuanbiao's idea.

Take down their weapons without affecting the feelings of both parties.

As long as there is no weapon, it will be much more restrained.

"Can they have no money? They have money to spend in places other than Changsheng, not to mention the nobles who just robbed a lot of rolled up bags and returned to Spain."

Standing on the balcony overlooking the town, Chen Mu clapped his hands contentedly against the pillar, and said, "What did Lin Feng say? Yes, as long as you can take it away, it's yours."

"They don't need to spend money."

"They still obey the rules in Changsheng, right? I heard that Yang Ce ordered them not to disturb the people."

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Zou Yuanbiao cupped his hands and said, "General Yang's orders are effective, but not all of them. The ones that keep them safe are the patrol booths and Baojia walking around in the streets and alleys of Changsheng."

"Xiaguan came out from the county government office and walked a few hundred steps to the military government government office. On the way, he saw a few pirates drinking too much and wandering in the street. Just as they wanted to provoke the people, they were shot down by the Baojia militiamen with blowing arrows. They all let go. fall."

They are the key figures of the Changsheng militia. Zou Yuanbiao expressed very clearly the tasks of the inspection department and Baojia, so that the Han pirates can spend money if they want to spend money, and shoot them directly to the military hospital for treatment if they want to cause trouble.

The entry of pirates into the city brought more expenses to Chang Sheng. Unlike the locals, they spend money lavishly and generously.

But correspondingly, the public security problems in the county were also very serious, but in the end the inspection department took Baojia to stand by, and no major troubles occurred.

"How about the income, more than 4000 million Tongbao, they spend almost as much as half of the Fuguo Army." Chen Mu can't change the habit of being happy when he hears about making money. Even if he is very interesting now, this problem still cannot be corrected. When the money is mentioned, the eyebrows are beaming: "Can you earn a lot?"

Zou Yuan nodded and said: "There are more than 2 taels of silver, and the income of the county government this year will not increase by more than [-] taels."

Chang Sheng's tax is not so heavy, but he can earn tens of thousands of taels just by exchanging.

This is also related to putting an end to people's silver storage in cellars. The method is the exchange of silver and Tongbao. Changsheng people exchange one tael of silver for nine hundred Tongbao based on their household registration;

The Han pirates had no household registration, and their exchange ratio was one tael of silver for eight hundred Tongbao; one thousand two hundred Tongbao for one tael of silver.

Chen Mu called this process that buyers spend more and sellers earn less.

"The pirates are indeed rich. Didn't they capture many Spanish nobles, each noble cost more than 5000 taels, not to mention they also robbed other people's goods from New Spain, which made my heart itch."

The Spanish nobles opened plantations in New Spain and sent the money back to Spain, but were intercepted by Chinese pirates on the way, and finally spent it on Chang Shenglai.

Chen Mu likes this kind of industrial chain. He said: "In the future, Yang Ce can bring his subordinates down several times a year. Forget it...this kind of opportunity doesn't come often."

Zou Yuanbiao also nodded with concern, he knew what Chen Mu's so-called opportunity was.

By next year, maybe the Spaniards who stayed in New Spain no longer want to go back to Spain. Next year or the year after, when Yang Tingxiang implements the yellow book of household registration in the Governor General of New Spain, there will probably be no Spaniards.

Suddenly, Zou Baldzi clapped his hands suddenly without knowing what he thought of, startled Chen Mu who was looking into the distance, and heard him say: "Marshal, you can let Yang Ce go to Turtle Island! Opposite the Governor's District of Peru! What's the matter?" Spanish!"

"And the Spaniards in Peru are very rich. Look at that Martyn, who wears six or seven rings on both hands. Wow, they look heavy."

This bald man is so unkind.

"Magistrate Zou, pay attention to your identity." Chen Mu was still palpitating from being startled by Zou Yuanbiao, and turned his head with a straight face and said: "If the officials of the Ming Empire fall into the eyes of money like you, is there any hope for the empire?"

Before Zou Yuanbiao had time to feel ashamed, Chen Mu continued to add: "It is enough to have Chen."

"You can't catch a Spanish slicker if you pluck the wool. When the sheep are plucked to death, you will have everything. In Europe, where we haven't set foot, Spain is a poor man. Fei Laoer's money has been taken away by others. The ones we should really care about."

The older he went to sea with Chen Mu, the closer Zou Yuanbiao felt to the truth of the world.

A world without etiquette, law, integrity and shame, where the strong are the only ones, and the weak are reduced to cattle and horses.

He didn't want to go back to Daming, not only did he not want to go back, but he also hoped that all the senior military officials and civil servants who served in the military government would not go back to Daming - they were too bad.

Zou Yuanbiao murmured: "Outside of the Kyushu, why is it like this?"

He was puzzled.

"The Dao is invisible, and there are no rules in the world, but there are rules in the world every moment, but these rules are not the Dao, but the concepts pursued by the powerful in the world, and are imposed on the world."

"The Europeans went to sea at a good time. They plundered the world and enslaved Asia and Southeast Asia. That is the concept they pursue. Before we completely smash this set of concepts, we can only rely on their concepts to act and defeat them. It goes from strong to weak."

"When the rules are the concept we pursue, the western part of New Spain will always be victorious. Those who have done what they have done in the past will be expelled, and those who have been oppressed in the past will be freed. When they lose all their overseas lands, the new order will be determined by us."
