Chapter 48 Abandonment
This time, Zhang Han did not agree, not because he disagreed with Chen Mu's suggestion. Perhaps it was Chen Mu's words that reminded the boss of the governor, so he mentioned a sentence that he was incompatible with the style.
"Do you know about Xiangshan County Magistrate Zhou Binshi, who reported to promote Xiangshan County as Xiangshan Prefecture and has the jurisdiction of Shunde and Xiangshan counties?"
Chen Mu was a little confused about whether Xiangshan was promoted to the mansion or not, and what did it have to do with him wanting to take charge of the official military equipment, so he bowed and said, "I heard of the humble position. It seems that because the large households in Xiangshan hide their land and villages, and they are entangled with Shunde officials, and the jurisdiction is inconvenient."
"That's what happened."
Zhang Han raised his hand and raised his index finger, walked around in the study, turned around and said, "Zhou Binshi is a capable official. He did a good job in Chenghai. The people still remember his kindness. This time he also did a good job in Haojing's private sales. I heard that the gentry in the county wanted to build a tower for him and he became the prefect."
Zhang Han smiled, "No worse than the current governor of Guangcheng."
"I have been thinking about this matter these days. If I only have the jurisdiction of Shunde, it is like I believe that the private morality of the officials in Shunde County is inadequate, and this matter cannot be done. If Xinhui, Xinning, Shunde, Xiangshan and a united state, there will be some possible success, as long as Guanghaiwei does not speak."
"The commander of Guanghaiwei wants Xiangshan to return to his jurisdiction, so don't rush to refuse."
Zhang Han seemed to know that Chen Mu did not want to belong to his jurisdiction, and said: "In the 20th year of Hongwu, our ancestors ordered the Tianxiadu Guard Office to set up weapons bureaus to produce military weapons for their own use. The Guanghai Guard Office has been defunct. If you go, I can order the general to move the Dingxiangshan Office to you to control it, strengthen the military strength and protect the sea border."
Chen Mu was a little confused when he listened to Governor Zhang's operation.
This man is not the kind of person who can do things. He actually has nothing to do. Yan Lu's cautious talent has been promoted to the extreme, and no subordinate has offended him. Resources have been compromised and allocated again and again, and finally corrupt officials have been rectified. The honest officials who are worried about their reputation will not be affected. Everyone was slapped and they even ate the dates they wanted.
But Chen Mu feels uncomfortable, what should I do? Tell me.
"The military clarifies that Guanghaiwei may not be able to do this. Even if he is a humble position, he may not be able to do it."
Chen Mu curled his lips and wanted to stab him in the back, but later he thought that he would probably see the real intention of doing this under the old man's semen's nose. It would be better to say it openly than to have a villain's impression.
He clasped his fists and said, "There are two artillery pieces built by Qianhu, Shunde, in the Kuala Lumpur."
Zhang Han was puzzled, "Hmm?"
"The victory of attacking the local bandits in Xiangshan was placed at the gate of Shizhai, saying that they wanted to use cannons to bombard Beishi. Xiangshan Station had no cannons, and the local bandits had two gates in their hands. After winning, they moved back and found out that it was from Qianhu Station in Shunde."
Zhang Han was obviously a little unbelievable. Although he was not dumbfounded, he also gritted his teeth and was obviously extremely angry.
Chen Mu spread his hands, "All cannons have been sold, what's the use of making any good weapons? Military gate, when Zeng Yiben's battle ends, Xiangshan Institute will return to Guanghaiwei, you can just order it."
"But in charge of the Military Weapons Bureau, you still have the long-term plan to make decisions, commanders, co-magistrates, and assistants. Even if you have other colleagues in Thousand Households, your humble position is under their jurisdiction, and no matter what you have, you will not be able to do anything."
The trees are as beautiful as the forest and wind will destroy them. People in every era think they are enlightened.
But the more enlightened the era, the more evil human nature is. When people see people who are better than themselves, their first thought is not to learn, but to destroy.
He had enough in Xiangshan District, either he would not return to Guanghaiwei. If he returned to Guanghaiwei, he would have to throw away some of the things he had.
Fortunately, Chen Mu is far behind Zhang Han. In their relationship, they are not teachers and disciples or friends who are forgot about age, but simply superiors and subordinates.
"You don't even want the cannons, why are you going to Guanghaiwei to do? Send those two cannons to Guangzhou City, and you're in Xiangshan Station, don't go anywhere!"
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him for a long time. He sat back on the desk and looked for the book without raising his head, saying, "Even if the two cannons are true, I can't allocate the Guanghaiwei Military Weapon Bureau to you, but you can set up a military Weapon Bureau yourself in Xiangshan. This is not a violation. I first let the craftsmen of the Guangdong Dusi Military Weapon Bureau imitate it. The copy will be successful, and then distributed it to Nanjing and Beijing Ministry of War."
Listening to this, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel happy and bowed his head and fisted.
This means that from now on, Xiangshan’s warships can be built by themselves, and Xiangshan’s firearms can be built by themselves with legitimate reasons. Not only can they be built by themselves, but they can also use better firearms to exchange for some copper and iron raw materials for other wards.
The key is that this means that Xiangshan Qianhusou has completely escaped the control of other guards over him.
As he said that, Zhang Han found the war letters sent by Chen Mu from Xiangshan a few days ago and his idea of controlling Haojing. His withered fingers stroked the paper and looked up at Chen Mu, saying, "I have read the book you sent. It is in which the enemy is guarding the door, and the enemy will be insulted; the troops are stationed in control of the people, and the people will be self-disciplined; this is very good, you have the courage than many people, but what I am worried about is whether you can do it well?"
For a long time, the Ming Dynasty turned a blind eye to the barbarians in Haojingao and subjectively evaded them. Although they collected commercial taxes from them and called them "reward merchants" and took them from the merchants who provided military pay, they actually regarded Haojing as "hidden enemy country" rather than their own territory.
A small island without resources and value is of no use to the Ming Dynasty, just like renting it to Fanyi for use.
Chen Mu proposed a new idea - since this island can generate profits, it must be held and controlled to create higher profits.
"You said that in Haojing, there were three additional 100 households, soldiers were recruited, and the military was raised, and the grain fields were divided into maritime affairs; a new tax treasury was set up to reorganize customs and sort out taxes; using our officials to set up laws to manage the foreign merchants, recruit deputy officers of the barbarians, and use the law to go overseas; the gates were opened three times a month, and food was prepared for unexpected results; these four statements, I submitted to the court, and it was approved."
"But you said otherwise, sending people to the Yi Shang Artillery Factory to learn apprentices, setting up teaching the speech of the Yi people, managing the Yi education, and deriving personnel to the Yi school to learn its strategies. These statements are a bit unreasonable, right? I submitted a letter to the court and wanted to be the governor of Tongfan!"
Zhang Han smiled a little despised Chen Mu, a young young man. "Why teach the words of the barbarians and make them livelihood? All students are talented in the national dynasty. When the imperial examinations are given to the right path, how can we learn the barbarians' strategy? As for the apprenticeship in the artillery factory, it is even more funny. Could it be that our great Ming Dynasty has fallen to the point of apprenticeship from others?"
"This is such a trick!" Zhang Han slapped the Spanish heavy gun that Chen Mu brought, and said: "At a glance at the Ministry of War, our country can tell that the production is more advantageous than it is!"
After three or five years of profit, Zhang Han accepted all the good words.
Abandon all the major plans for a century!
