Acosta saw Chen Mu, no, he said he had seen Zou Yuanbiao do magic.

He has only been more than a month since he left Acapulco, and everything from the port to the village has been completely renewed.

The only thing that has not changed is the lonely Spanish-style mansions gathered next to the port government office with white walls and orange tiles. In addition, in the eyes of monks, the original mixed-race indigenous people mixed with corn poles and earthen houses disappeared, and the eyes were filled with blue bricks, gray tiles, wood and stone structures.

Of course, this is just the ever-winning county in Acosta’s eyes.

The Ming army had enough manpower to make Changsheng County look like that, but there was not enough material resources. After all, brick factories were limited in their production. Moreover, the wood and stone bricks in the county had been monopolized by the Ming army's sawing yard and kiln. How could the people have so much money to buy bricks and wood?

The reason why Acosta had such an illusion in his eyes was that Changsheng County had become larger than 400 tribes and chiefs made great contributions to this matter. The Ming army provided building materials and the chiefs provided manpower. The large-scale reasonable buildings were built according to the plan, and Changsheng's residential area was doubled in a short period of time.

The newly built courtyards around the Daojun Temple and the county government are the most conspicuous, so that Acosta can hardly see the village south of the Daojun Temple.

The people who originally lived in the port village were more aggrieved than the chiefs who came from afar. The houses they lived in were also being renovated, but they were all burned with fire and fire bricks burned from brick kilns.

These unqualified products that were supposed to be put into brick kilns for clinker were asked by the magistrate Zou Yuanbiao from the military office and sent them to the people to renovate their old houses.

Chen Mu originally wanted to do this. He originally planned to pass this period of excessive bricks and wood usage, and the price of bricks and wood was not high. Within two years, the people in the port could renovate their houses with good bricks and tiles. There is no need to rush to do so.

Not to mention that he also considered that these chiefs would leave at most half a year. At that time, the original people in the port could be allowed to move directly into the built new home, leaving the old houses for the people who moved later to live in.

However, Zou Yuanbiao said that people are not worried about the lack of people but are uneven. When the Ming army came here, the border troubles were not calm, and the leaders of the tribes were very anxious. At this time, the people's hearts were most needed, and they could not wait for a while.

Zou Yuanbiao's "equal" is not even. The Confucian sages who value respect and rules do not mean in their original words, but rather in their "each gets his own points". The so-called unevenness refers to not distinguishing between high and low, and not distributing wealth according to rules.

From above, you must know your own duties and guarantee your due rights.

In Zou Yuanbiao's eyes, in the counties under his rule, we must pay attention to both the rank and the rules. This rule is to come first and then come. Even if we have to borrow the manpower of the tribe leaders to build a house, the rights that his people deserve must not be missing.

Even if the house they built is not good according to their superiority, they must have it.

In the end, Chen Mu had to sign this order and allowed military craftsmen to expand the scale of brick and tile factories to meet the needs of construction in the county.

Changsheng County became what it is today.

Chen Mu chose to meet Acosta in the newly completed county yamen. Compared with the port government office, Chen Mu did not want the Western negotiating group to feel familiar and comfortable.

He wanted Acosta and others to feel from the bottom of their heart that this was already a victorious county of the Ming Dynasty, not Acapulco in Spain.

"These three are Bai Tao of the White Horse Alliance, Zheng Tu of the Yi tribe alliance, and Niu Pingzhang of the Shi-E alliance."

Chen Mu introduced to Acosta with a smile that Niu Pingzhang was the earlier Niu Demon King, and his name was chosen from the Thousand Characters text, which means to distinguish and discuss matters.

This name is not only because it is an important official position in ancient China, but also because the leader of the Shi'e Alliance was completely discussed by playing houses. It was a harmonious group, which was far less than that of Bai Tao, who was like the one who used his power to suppress others or Zheng Tu.

Lao Niu hopes that this name will bring him good luck.

Chen Mu, who was attending the seat, said and turned to the side, and smiled, "This is Brother Fu and the old governor. Both monks know each other, so Chen will not introduce much about Duke Alva's proposal to Chen?"

The boss was released from the yard under house arrest after Chen Mu heard that Acosta came, but Brother Fu'er was not.

Before Acosta came, Chen Muzheng was discussing business with Brother Fu.

Some things do not need to be written into the contract between the two countries. Chen Mu is more inclined to find individuals to cooperate with him. The two countries' treaties are relatively formal. People can also understand the major issues, but if they are different, they will be different.

Big news is still something that everyone can figure out, but some things that go against the edge are not so clear.

For example, if Fu Geer wants to use Changsheng as a transit station to monopolize the porcelain trade flowing into Europe in the future, Chen Mu cannot agree, and secondly, even if he wants to monopolize a part of the proportion, how could Chen Mu not let him bleed?

They have discussed this many times, and Brother Fu has no choice but to face him.

Just do business, Chen Mu is a little tempted to be without desires. At worst, he can change to a businessman. Anyone can do this, but only Chen Mu can do his business.

If the nobles in the palace could still be allowed to run the king to send troops to fight, they would just grab the interests, but they would fight... Spain would not be able to defeat Chen Mu.

Until today, in the transaction between the two people, Chen Mu compared his fingers four times, five times, three times, and eight times.

He could allow 30% of the goods from the Ming Dynasty to Changsheng Yousuo within five years to be sold directly to Fugeer at a price lower than the market price. However, in exchange, Fugeer needed to hire and send Chen Mu to various countries, industries, and 8,000 Western books that exclude religious classics.

If it doesn't work, Chen Mu doesn't plan to continue talking to Brother Fu.

Brother Fu was about to agree, Acosta is here.

"The Duke of Alva brought the meaning of King Philip to You. The King was very satisfied with Your previous proposal. After the war, we have also sent your treaty back to Madrid from Havana, but it will take nearly four months to travel."

"The Duke of Alva does not agree to hand over the Potosi Silver Mine and Mexico City to Ming Kingdom. If you insist on this, although we are very reluctant, and even though Spain is not ready at the moment, I am afraid that the war can only continue."

Spain cannot be without silver mines.

"Before I express His Majesty Philip's wish, please allow me to ask." Acosta looked at Chen Mu very seriously and asked, "Are you really sincerely making peace with us? Or will this be like Nanjing in Ming Dynasty, signing a treaty and then preparing to fight another battle?"

Chen Mu didn't say a word, and there was no need for words at all. His expression could perfectly interpret: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense.

Acosta didn't believe it at all because he knew a lot of things about the Ming Dynasty. For example, the establishment of the Nanyang Military Palace in the past was to seize Luzon, Sulu, and Java, which were occupied by Spain or tried to occupy. Now the establishment of the Dongyang Military Palace was to seize the new continent occupied by Spain.

"It has been nearly three years since the establishment of the Eastern Military Palace, I know." Acosta smiled and immediately said seriously: "His Majesty Philip has released his greatest kindness to you. Even if you hear that the Ming army and New Spain have entered a war, they are still willing to cease war and reach a trade agreement, but you must consider it clearly that we should not continue to fight."

"For this reason, His Majesty the King mentioned a very friendly proposal to all lands in the Ming Kingdom and Spain in the New World, which will be jointly governed by both countries, and respect His Majesty Philip and Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty."
