Chapter 998 The Explorer

Chen Mu's proposal frightened Yang Zhaolong, he waved his hands and stuttered.

"Brother-in-law, it's okay for me to be a governor who fools people. You let me be the county magistrate. I have never tried to do this. No, no, no, if I don't do it well, I will die."

Yang Zhaolong's reaction made Chen Mu feel very strange: "What is the governor's job, but the county magistrate can't do it. Do you think the official is too small or what's the matter?"

"It's not that I think the official is too small. I have no complaints if you ask me to be a groom for you here, but the governor of an overseas enclave is different from the county magistrate after the establishment of the county government. The front is like a joke, but the back is serious. of."

As Yang Zhaolong said, he seemed to notice that Chen Mu's expression did not fluctuate, and he said pitifully, "At least let me stay in Changsheng for two years, and see what kind of temper the people here have, and then send them to do something, and I will be fine." There are numbers."

"You don't need to count them, and you don't need to look at them. The situation of the people on the west coast is different from that on the east coast. There is no reference value. Except for the two officers, Hei Yunlong and Hu Lan, who have traveled a long way, the others don't know more about that side than you do."

Chen Mu acted as soon as he thought of it, and immediately called Juniper to come over and let him go: "Take someone to the Bishui Pavilion to find Mr. Xu, and send all the official documents, information, documents, and maps related to the east coast of North Asia to the No. The four side hall, yes, and the general situation of the Atlantic route and European countries." He turned his head to his brother-in-law and said, "The fourth side hall is not used normally, and it will be your office for the time being, and I will give you a winter."

"Take a good look at the situation over there. The intelligence of the military government is limited. In the spring of next year, you will go to Muye on the east coast to contact the people on the ground. By this time next year... I want to see that the preparatory work for the establishment of Muye County has been completed."

After Chen Mu finished speaking with a serious face, he smiled and said, "The counties on the east coast need a county magistrate like you who can get along with the aborigines."

"The place of Muye is very important. In the next few years, it will be the rear of the frontline battlefield. There must be reliable people to govern and win the hearts of the people. Zhaolong..."

Chen Mu rolled his eyelids to look at Yang Zhaolong with an inquiring expression, and asked, "Are you reliable?"

Maybe it was because of the thought that going to sea would cause the imperial court to move the family from Bozhou to the wilderness of Xinming, Yang Zhaolong blushed and said, "I'm absolutely reliable!"

As soon as the words fell, he put on a bitter face again: "Governing a place is not something that is reliable or unreliable."

"As long as you are reliable, I think you are very suitable. To be a county magistrate in Asia, domestic political ability is secondary. On the east coast, you must first be able to unite the local people. In this regard, the chieftain of the Yang family for generations, you in Xinming and Wang. Yunzhou is doing very well.”

"Secondly, you need to know soldiers. You have been trained as a leading general since you were a child. Although you are not from a martial arts school, you have a traditional military foundation. It is not difficult to learn new things."

"The site selection of the city, the construction and management of various factories, the method of attaching to Baojia to stabilize the area to assist in law and order, there are materials in the Bishui Pavilion. As long as the county government is established, businessmen from various companies will flock to it. You have nothing to worry about. "

Nothing to worry about?
Yang Zhaolong patted his forehead in distress, murmured a few words that Chen Mu couldn't understand, spread his hands together and said: "Brother-in-law, what you said just now, I understand Jiashou and building a city, the factory is probably Understand a little, but it’s better not to know.”

A factory, Yang Zhaolong knows, is to gather a bunch of craftsmen and let them do this and that.

But the management methods of the craftsmen of Xuanwei Division in Bozhou are in the same line. Three pairs of straw sandals can be worn a day, and the feet are chopped off. The management efficiency of the factory is good... But does Yang Zhaolong dare to take that set?

Xiao Yang lowered his head to look at his feet, then looked at the stupid and thick Juniper behind Chen Mu with a long knife on his waist, shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law has to send someone to me, you have so many factories here, you have to Send some people who can manage the factory to Muye."

Chen Mu didn't know that Yang Zhaolong had so many thoughts in his mind, he nodded and said: "It's natural, I will send you all the manpower you need, next year not only you will go, but Chang Sheng will also pick a few clans to go there, They are studying architectural design now, and they will start agriculture and animal husbandry next month, and you will have a lot of talents by then."

When he heard that there was a clan, Yang Zhaolong rolled his eyes in worry. He himself is a person who can only survive by being served by others. Now he has to send a bunch of clans to serve after hearing what Chen Mu said?

Don't do anything with Makino, he can just find a babysitter for himself and his clan all day long!
"No, building fortifications is my Yang family's unique skill. The entourage on the boat will know how to do it. Isn't Nanyang Weigang good? The craftsmen who designed the military port for you also came here. Don't let them design. Farming and raising cattle. So will our people."

The "our people" that Yang Zhaolong said were actually the Miao warriors he brought with him when he left Bozhou, but this time when he disembarked in Changsheng, the people around him had changed a lot. There are more Duzhang barbarian warriors and a few Maori warriors.

There were more than 300 people who sailed here with him, basically Yang Zhaolong's guards and Deputy Liu Qianhu's Nanyang Banner Army accounted for half and half.

Originally, the Nanyang Army had [-] households, but they left [-] households in each of Wangyunzhou and Midway Island in the north and south.

The so-called Midway Island is the Hawaiian Islands, and that place is halfway to Yang Zhaolong, hence the name.

Of course, the Maori who followed Yang Zhaolong also used iron tools, all of which were Miao knives.

It's not Qi Jiguang's big imperial sword, but the long and short swords made by Miao Steel. .

Although the appearance looks a little more simple, they are all first-class good knives.

Chen Mu thought about the repeated population movements from China, which brought new cultural traditions to this new continent, and the Ming army came here to bring a revolution in production technology to the Indians.

Hulan brought Mongolian grassland traditions to the north, and the tribes of Cheyenne and Iroquois began to domesticate horses and learn cavalry; Miao steel industry will appear in Muye County.

Thinking of this brought a smile to his face.

"Brother-in-law said that there is going to be a war over there, and someone wants to grab our land?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

"The war has already begun. The Nine Classics fought against France in Spain, and we have just destroyed France's stronghold on the Great Lakes. Next year, King Alan will use troops against England, and the fleet of the Eastern Army is also ready in the Great Ocean. Your place It will become an important supply point and a retreat for the fleet, which is extremely important."

Chen Mu stood up, waved to Yang Zhaolong, and said, "Go back and read the book carefully. Then I will write to your brother, and try not to blame you. It's not your fault... By the way, you left the new school." Tomorrow, how much steel, how many kilograms, can the iron mines in the north produce in a day?"

　Good morning!
