"Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army."

When Xiaobaihu under Hulan's subordinates said this, Chen Mu on the other side had just received a report from Wu Zhongxing, the magistrate of Jincheng County, relaying the news that Hulan had learned from the rice washing department four months ago.

In Chen Mu's eyes, the situation is not as simple as that of Hu Lan. He has more channels to obtain information. Although his eyes are also full of fog of war because he wants to focus on the overall situation, things are always much clearer than others.

It's just that the timeliness of his news is very poor.

On the vast map of Dadongyang, Chen Mu moved back and forth on the ground holding the pottery figurine flag army, starting from Jincheng for a walk on the central grassland and the soldiers of the Eastern Iroquois Alliance. statement form.

On the vast grassland that was measured and mapped by the Banner Army following Hulan’s footsteps, there are 27 pottery figurines of hundreds of households walking. The position of the place, the error is not more than fifty miles.

Because every hundred households headed east or west every 230 miles, they erected steles, and sent riders to Jincheng to report the location, the aboriginal tribes found within the range, and other information.

This degree is not accurate, and it has nothing to do with latitude and longitude even when the first stele was erected. The entire Oriental military government knew that this was wrong, but in Chen Mu's words, this is their coordinate system, at least according to This way, they were able to use this coordinate system over the vast Asian continent.

This gigantic project is not just Magui sending out his motley guards, but also countless tribes on the plateau and grassland after crossing the mountains to help them do this, because this is also the place where Jincheng County is located. Communication business.

The trade routes of the Jincheng, the Blackfoot people, and the Cheyenne Tribe, the carpet map in front of Chen Mu covering the entire floor of the side hall is also delineated based on this coordinate system, and square leather surfaces of equal size are stacked on top of each other. In one place, each piece can be pulled apart to reveal a four-fold magnified topographic map on the reverse side.

However, the completeness of this picture is less than [-]% at the moment, and the eastward area in the middle of the grassland is not completed, and the Great Lakes area and the coastal areas involved in this war are even more blank.

But even so, it is still very useful, at least it allows Chen Mu and others to see very intuitively how many troops they have deployed on the vast land.

To the west of the Five Great Lakes, they have 27 hundred-household tribes under Magui's command, arranged from west to east. In the unknown area east of the Five Great Lakes, fourteen hundred-household tribes including Hulan gathered there.

South of the east coast, [-] miles north of the Florida Mingxi border, the eleven hundred tribes of Heiyunlong are marching north along the coast.

Farther away in the Atlantic Ocean, close to the coastal area of ​​Portugal in Europe, a ceramic ship with twelve hundred households was moving in that direction. It was Chen Jiujing's fleet.

The boat symbolizing Li Dan docked along the coast of Spain carrying small terracotta figurines.

"This picture is too complicated. It's easier to use the picture of Changsheng Room." Chen Mu shook his head and watched as the attendants placed several pottery houses symbolizing the wooden longhouses of the aboriginal tribes in several positions on the picture, and then According to the image sent by Jincheng, he used a brush to dye the surrounding map red, then turned to the people sitting at the door and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

He never expected that the emperor sent Zheng Fan's son and great scientist Zhu Zaiyu here in the third period of Beiyang, and he was mixed in the banner barracks. It took him a few days before he found out that the middle-aged man wearing a square scarf in and out of the barracks behaved strangely .

He was dressed like a Shaoxing master. At first Chen Mu thought it was Bai Yuanjie's attendant, but later it was Juniper who told Chen Mu that Bai Shuai's master moved with the Beiyang Phase III camp, and hired someone to use a carriage every time. Carrying a big plan for him, there are hundreds of people accompanying him, mixed among Bai Yuanjie's personal soldiers, they don't look like masters.

Later, when I asked Bai Yuanjie, Bai Yuanjie also smiled and said nothing. It was not until half a month later that the little eunuch Zhang Jing chatted with Chen Mu again with the second letter from the emperor. The supervisor of the second clan's Dongdu team.

Those entourages were not minions, they were all descendants of the Ming clan.

One Fuguo general, four Fengguo generals, 64 Zhenguo lieutenants, 510 Fuguo lieutenants, and [-] two Fengguo lieutenants.

What does it mean for these clans to come over?
It means that this year, Changsheng saved 13 Shilumi for the court.

The number of Fengguo lieutenants is a bit disproportionate, and Chen Mu couldn't understand it at first, but after he learned about the decree of the imperial clan's title of knighthood, he understood that, as the titles of men in the clan, the first lieutenant of Fengguo and above are all descended from their father's eldest son. Yu Zi was demoted two ranks; only when he reached Fuguo Lieutenant, all the sons he gave birth to were Fengguo Lieutenant.

This made the Ming Dynasty have a lot of Fengguo lieutenants.

Lieutenant Fengguo’s Lumi was reduced to 28 shi after Hongwu [-], which is only [-] shi away from Lieutenant Fuguo, who is one level higher. Moreover, this is a permanent system, which means that even Zhang Juzheng and Wanli cannot change it. .

The only people they can change are the common people of the clan. The common people are those who are guilty and dismissed. During the Yingzong period, there was a lot of rice and grain. In the Jiajing Dynasty, the monthly rice support was reduced to six stones.

Just like the most fertile Zhou Fan, there are more than 4000 Zongdishers, and there are more than 80 Fengguo lieutenants here, and Lumi kills [-] stones a year.

This year, Chang Sheng suddenly reduced the imperial court by one-eighth of Zhou Fan.

Chen Mu didn't care about raising these people, and the resettlement method was simple and rude. There was too much unexplored land in the south of Changsheng County—give them a piece of land.

Like ordinary people, when ordinary immigrants come here, they have ten thousand mu of land in a village. This group of people are nobles, and each household is divided into five hundred mu.

Give seeds to farm tools to donkeys, knives to guns to bows and arrows, and even distributed 200 million Tongbao business books to General Fuguo. More than 500 Lieutenants of Fengguo shared one each for farming training, flag army training and merchant training. , nothing else.

Zou Yuanbiao asked, "Aren't you afraid that they will sue you for doing this?"

Jing Haibo's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water: "I didn't let them farm the land, so why should I sue?"

Even if the hoe was delivered to hand, Chen Mu never personally or appointed anyone to tell those clans to work, no.

He never encouraged the clan to work, do business, or serve as a soldier.

Even if the business book was handed out, the hoe was thrown in the field, and the donkey was brought home, he would never admit that he encouraged the clan to work.

no way.

Even if these clans took up their hoes and went to the ground, he would send someone to warn them.

The fingers of my imperial family in the Ming Dynasty are all made of gold, and they must not work in a humble manner.

Unless you're starving.

Not to mention, the clan's children are actually more diligent than Chen Mu imagined. Although they are so stupid that they can't work hard with a hoe and shovel, they are willing to learn and are extremely hardworking.

In addition to work, I also know that I went to Zhu Zaiyu to beg my grandpa to tell my grandma that I want to learn some so-called 'science', and I want to leave this barren land as soon as possible.

In Chen Mu's view, this is an excellent start.

　Good morning!
