Chapter 9 Fishing
Fu Yuan still knows Chen Mu.
On the endless sea, groups of warships sailed eastward.
The temperature changed very quickly, and orders from the Great Wall of the Sea were issued to each ship, ordering the captains of each ship to replace the lookout hand on the mast every half hour.
The temperature in the cabin is not high, and Chen Mu is probably the best one to live. Although there is also a fireplace made of refractory bricks in the flagship command room, the sailor room is too big, not to mention that the flag army has to take on duty on the ship, only the fleet commander is the happiest.
Fortunately, their reserves for cold food and heating are perfect.
This greatly improved the work efficiency of the staff officers on the ship. In order to keep warm, they all like to get into Chen Mu's cabin, and entering Chen Mu's cabin means entering a working state.
"The Eastern Military Office is a local department with the powers of finance, politics and military. In order to fully control everything in Asia, the Five Divisions under the Eastern Military Office are established according to the needs of the Military Office. Each division does not belong to each other and serves as the Minister of the Military Office. First of all, my aide and personal army."
"The Military Affairs Department has two bureaus under it. The staff bureau has two chiefs of staff. There are no fixed quotas for staff. The staff is responsible for staff. Rewards and punishments are determined based on whether they can be achieved. The Military Affairs Bureau has two chiefs of military affairs, and the staff is temporarily set up with eight members. The military ministers are responsible for the private affairs of the military office, and they are divided into five ranks to ninth ranks of salary."
When Chen Mu said this, no one dared to interrupt. Forget about the staff bureau, Chen Mu of the Military Affairs Bureau knew that everyone else would know that the two of them were the two of them and eight of them were the ones who served him.
"The Military Department is mainly organized and organized by various departments. It has one military chief, with three departments under the Army, Navy and Intelligence."
"The Army Bureau is responsible for the organization of peacetime, wartime, replenishment of troops, large-scale training, changes in the various guard stations, roads and bridges, military discussions, military music, schoolyards, training, martial arts lecture halls, documents and statistics."
"The Navy Bureau has similar powers to the Army Bureau, including naval guns, ships, routes, and transportation."
"The intelligence bureau chief scouts and supervisors, surveying, mapping, reconnaissance, collecting and sorting out all information on military, culture, economy, geography, weather, etc. of tribes from various Asian countries, collecting and sorting out all information on the Asian Eastern Military Office, and commenting on and studying the battles that have already occurred on this land."
"The Military Department has temporarily established fifty-one posts, with a salary of three ranks to nine ranks."
The Military Department has a higher salary than the Military Department, which seems to be quite pertinent to Zhao Shizhen, Xu Zhenming, Xu Wei, and Yang Tingxiang.
Yang Tingxiang nodded secretly and did not interrupt Chen Mu. Although Chen Mu said that the Eastern Military Mansion was wealth, government and military, Chen Mu would never take it out in terms of personnel, not to mention that the entire Eastern Military Mansion had no human rights except Chen Mu.
He probably thought the rest were all related to military affairs.
Chen Mu's subsequent words were not beyond his expectations: "The Military Weapons Department has a seventh bureau under which the military weapons bureaus are built, armor, cannons, warships, horses and miscellaneous instruments, and is responsible for manufacturing, raising, treasury, and is in charge of the military weapons bureaus of each county in the future."
"The Military Medical Department has a military doctor and a veterinary school to manage the future allocation of military doctors in various garrisons."
"The last one is the Operation Department, which is mainly customs, business, and transportation affairs with Guozhong. It has a Finance Bureau that manages customs, commercial transportation, salary payment, and gold and silver exchange."
"The Bureau of Commerce will be in charge of mines, forest land, hunting grounds and all business affairs in various places in the future."
"Baodym Bureau, shipping and transportation dispatch of logistics, rice, grain and food."
"The Personnel Bureau, every year, dispatches reserve soldiers to recruits, graduates from martial arts lecture halls and retired Beiyang soldiers, disabled officers, and staff members of the flag army to transfer to the staff, and study the work arrangements."
After Chen Mu said that, he pushed the official document on the table in front of him forward, and then looked up and asked everyone, "Do you think there is anything you need to add?"
When Chen Mu raised his head, several people lowered their heads to record. The first person to raise his head was Yang Tingxiang. He looked around and smiled: "You guys don't want to say anything? Then the student will give the Grandmaster some more."
Only Yang Tingxiang is a professional from the Guangzhou Martial Arts Hall. He has more knowledge about military affairs than others. He said: "Master, when I was in the Martial Arts Hall, I found that no subjects were besieged, no matter north or south."
"Reading past wars, the Nanyang Army rarely encounters siege. Even if it needs to attack the strong city, it will not be siege. It is attacked with heavy artillery fire. This is the case with the Battle of the Three-Eyed Guns."
"When I returned to the voyage, I saw many castles in Western and Portugal. Most of them were solid stone cities, which were difficult to attack. The Beiyang Army did not train to siege. Once something happened, I could not expect to use artillery to collapse the stone city every time, let alone the solid stones were difficult to bombard."
"Since the Military Department is in charge of combat training, the Intelligence Bureau has so many reconnaissance affairs, and the Military Equipment Department has research. Why not add siege department, the Military Department's Army and Navy Bureau trains siege, the Intelligence Bureau trains spies, and the Military Equipment Department researches weapons to break the city."
major!
"It is necessary to siege the department."
Chen Mu and his staff all thought that Yang Tingxiang was necessary and that they really needed such a department to increase their ability to siege the city.
"Nothing else?"
Chen Mu was very tempted and said in the end: "The military government will establish its own duties when it arrives in Asia. The fleet should be passing through the Hei Shui Mart Islands, with a voyage of ten days and still have time, but there are more problems that need to be solved at the moment."
"Where does the wealth of the Eastern Military Palace come from? Where does the expansion of the Eastern Military Palace begin?"
As soon as Chen Mu finished speaking, Zhao Shizhen said: "Lin, mines and tariffs, the Nanyang Military Office has enough experience to go south from Majiagang to gain a foothold next year. Merchants enter Asia, explore the vast land, and exchange silk for silver with Spain."
Zhao Shizhen has a good understanding of Nanyang, and Yang Ting has more knowledge of Asia. He shook his head and said, "Forestry is not difficult. There are huge trees in northern Asia that can be planned for forest farms with more than a hundred years of age, and the land is vast enough. Even if a forest farm has only been cut down for five years, the existing maps are enough to plan twenty places to provide a hundred and thousand years of land to obtain good materials."
"It's easy to say that the customs is the only mineral. The original intention of the Eastern Military Office was to obtain the Asian silver mine, but this is already a thing in Spain. Moreover, Mexico has silk weaving, and it is very large in scale. What they need most is not silk, raw silk or even spinning silk."
"In Mexico, they have a silk weaving factory of up to 10,000 people, just like the silk weaving factory set up by Chen Shuai in Guangzhou in Xiangshan, but it is only artificial, the loom cannot do it, and the output and quality are slightly worse than that."
"Long-distance transportation, the cost of a pound of raw silk is at least one tael, and the cost of sprinkling a pound of silk is at least eight cents. Even if it is sold to two taels or two cents, the biggest profit will still be earned by Westerners."
"In comparison, the sales of jewelry, porcelain, incense, musk, and metal utensils are more recognized, which can be profitable."
Do you know how to do business in Jinshi, or do you know everything in Jinshi?
Chen Mu looked at Yang Tingxiang in surprise. At least in his opinion, Yang Tingxiang seemed to know everything. If he was greedy for some money, he might be another Yin Zhengmao. And if he gave him ten years of growth, he would be even better than Yin Zhengmao.
The goods he said were nothing special. The biggest difference was that they were all finished products after processing. In modern terms, they were high added value, and were high-tech industries and luxury goods of this era.
It is different from selling raw silk and spinning silk.
"No hurry to sell any goods. If I can get what I want, even if I send silk for them, I can give it to you for free."
Yang Tingxiang did not respond much when Chen Mu said this, but Zhao Shizhen and others, who had a deep understanding of his greed, showed strangeness and could not change Chen Erye. How could he say the word "concession"?
And it sounds like he is happy to suffer losses.
"The Potosi Silver Mine is here, and I want to obtain a piece of land, here, this long coastline."
Chen Mu first pointed his finger at Bolivia on the Asian map that acted as a tablecloth, then covered his hand on the west coast of Asia from Peru to Chile, and then pointed at the narrowest connection between North and South Asia, saying: "This coastline extends inward for 400 miles, including this place, everything else can be compromised."
Yang Tingxiang was so angry that this literati, who was born in Jinshi, was extremely hard to see his expression. He whispered: "Chen Shuai, that is all the land of Spain in Asia. You want it except silver mines and Mexico?"
"And you just exchange land with them, what should I do? Ma Shuai, a land north of Mexico, worked hard to manage it. Going east, it was all Portuguese land, and the Spaniards had nowhere to go."
"Change the land? Where to change?"
Chen Mu looked as if he was taken for granted: "I didn't want the capital of the Aztecs, the most prosperous Mexico City, right? I didn't want the Potosi Silver Mine, either, right? What else do you want? My Celestial Army came across the ocean and didn't eat? What's wrong with fishing on the coastline? I traveled thousands of miles apart and he didn't care about the meal?"
