The long-legged bear is just a microcosm of Changsheng County. People praise bravery and encourage hard work, which deeply affects everyone living here.

This change even made Hai Rui feel strange. He kept praising everyone, praising the people of Asia for being down-to-earth and hardworking. This is really the best people.

It was even so good that the old man couldn't understand it. If it was a monthly 2 tael, it would be fine if it was a 2 tael of liang per month, it would be very energetic. But regardless of the victorious industries, the circulating of silver was not silver, and it was just borrowed from Tongbao's name, money, and paper money that collapsed in the Ming Dynasty after only circulating for more than 20 years.

As soon as Chen Mu sent troops to the front line, Mr. Hai was about to get angry with Chen Mu.

"The well fields that Chen Shuai in Yazhou are good medicine for peace and stability, but this money method is what I have bestowed on Chen Shuai Yazhou. Isn't it for the Emperor to govern the world for the sake of the emperor and the emperor, why do you only see the small profits in front of you?"

Hai Rui pointed out that what we want to talk about is the method of money.

In the military government office, several personal soldiers and assistant officials were so scared that they were trembling when Hai Rui entered the yamen. Seeing that he spoke, he wanted to find a place to hide it and not listen... How many people in the world can tell Chen Shuai this way?

This hiding made the general lose face? What if they heard these and saw them silenced?

A few days ago, Changsheng County just sent the thirteen flag troops who had been bribed when the ship came over and died in a row on the coast, which was so scary.

As the person involved, Chen Mu waved to his subordinates happily and said, "You guys go down first, please sit down."

After Hai Rui was angry, Chen Mucai asked, "Hai Gong thinks there is something wrong with the money method, what's the problem?"

"Why did my treasure money collapse? It was caused by the lack of reserve gold and silver, and the excessive amount of money was released. This was a robbery and was made of paper."

Hai Rui said: "The first time the Xiaguan arrived here, he saw that the military government issued the Wanli Tongbao. He was very happy. Today, he was told that it was only 50,000 taels of silver. Now he has issued 44 million yuan in banknotes. In September and October, he will issue additional Tongbao to Jincheng, Majiagang, Panama and other places. He ordered the military government printing bureau to issue additional 350 million yuan, which is more than ten times the reserve fund."

"If this continues, Tongbao collapses one day. How will Chen Shuai end then?"

Hai Rui took a deep breath, reached his thin hand in front of him and said, "Shishou Chen can regard the people of foreign lands as pigs and dogs. Should the Beiyang Banner Army and immigrant people be like this?"

Changsheng County was trying to replace silver with Tongbao banknotes. One of the reasons was that there was too little silver in hand and the court did not prepare more silver for him, so it was difficult for him to pay the people.

"Haigong, Chen issued Tongbao in Changsheng, using credit, the credit of the court's Eastern Military Office, to control prices, and the people are willing to use Tongbao." Chen Mu said seriously: "I have not regarded the soldiers and the people as pigs and dogs, and the people are the same. I just encourage the soldiers to exchange their salary for Tongbao, which will not affect their use here."

Chen Mu turned his hand and said, "Which flag army in Beiyang doesn't have more than ten or twenty taels of silver? Isn't it tired to put it on? They need to be able to exchange Tongbao for silver in the military palace at any time."

“Can be replaced now.”

Hai Rui nodded and said, "Now the military soldiers exchanged their past salary for Tongbao. If the military mansion has silver, they can exchange it. What about the future? Pay monthly. Does Chen Shuai still have to transport military salary on the ships in the future? Once the Yazhou does not need silver, the court will stop the delivery of silver."

"If Tongbao collapses at that time, what will the military government get to Dutongbao? If you can't get silver, what will happen to these well-trained military soldiers?"

This is terrifying for Hai Rui. The Beiyang Banner Army was an elite soldier that the imperial court spent a lot of money and energy to train. Their generals and officials received the best military education. Their flag army had undergone excellent discipline training. If the morale of this army is gone, who can control it?

How much does it cost to keep it in check?

"No, no, don't, you're too far away from it. The Dongyang Military Palace also has reserved gold and silver, not the 50,000 taels, but the Military Palace has a silver mine."

What silver mine do you have? You have silver mine!

Hai Rui said: "Which silver mine?"

"Tasco, in the northeast, was not distributed to the people. There were more than 20 cavalry stationed in the past. The three hundred flag troops just drove over the day before yesterday and set up mine officials to supervise the mine digging."

As he said that, Chen Mu looked at his thumb and added as usual: "And there is Potosi from Peru, aren't that all my reserves?"

Hai Rui:???

What were you talking about?

"Taskolav knew that the silver mine was not high." The old man shook his head stubbornly and said, "Peru, there is also the Potosi silver mine, which is from the Western Barbarians. How can it be used as a reserve for the Ming Dynasty? What's more, you have never mentioned this silver mine in the treaty."

Hai Rui looked at the treaty as soon as he arrived. He thought the treaty was OK, but it was OK. He basically couldn't see Chen Mu's spirit of opening his mouth. He only seized Panama and the west of Mexico City by the Westerners' original land. He was very restrained in other places.

It seems that after he is in a high position, Chen Mu will look like a normal person.

The land in the north of Mexico City was not managed much in the past. It was reasonable for the Ming Dynasty to take it. Regardless of the matters of the Westerners, as for this side, when there was a war between the two sides, they lost and they had already given seven points of face without taking the entire territory.

"Oh, it turns out that Haigong thought the Potosi silver mine belonged to the Spanish."

How fresh?

Chen Mu bowed his hand with a smile and said shamelessly: "To be honest, the Spanish are also my reserve."

Hai Rui, who was sitting opposite Chen Mu, almost left when he heard this. Any normal person could not bear Chen Mu's crazy words and regarded the Spanish as reserve?

But he was only angry for a moment. Looking at Chen Mu's serious expression gradually disappearing, Hai Rui thought of something and asked patiently: "Maybe I am old, please tell me in detail?"

"I have a rational idea for the sea. As we all know, there are precious and large amounts of things in this world, including gold, silver, copper, and the most and heaviest in Asia. In silver, this is also one of the main purposes of the Eastern Military Palace going to sea."

"After the victory, Chen and the Westerners already knew in the treaty negotiations that the most important thing for Westerners is gold and silver mines. For these things, they will do their best to continue the war. Perhaps they will still fail in the end, but it will delay our army for several years. The cost and consumption of these years will be so great that elite soldiers may die from war disasters."

Chen Mu spread his hands and said, "The lives of ordinary people are not peaceful."

"Of course, the most important thing is that before these 80,000 people come, Chen has no confidence to win the war. Even if he wins, he will be dragged into another war. The countries of Europa are eyeing Asia, and sooner or later we will meet with him."

"Without the Westerners, maybe next year or the next year, not only will they face the Westerners, but they will also attack others. Who knows if they will shake hands and make peace?"

Hai Rui felt a little impatient when he heard this. Everyone understood the truth. He also felt that Chen Mu was right not to take down the silver mountain: "But what about this reserve?"

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Where to Mingxi, all transactions need to be made with Tongbao. If I buy his, I must use Spanish silver dollars. He buys mine and trades with silver for Tongbao. We will open a silver exchange market at the border and let them take a large amount of Tongbao to trade."

Hai Rui was confused. Since the Ming Dynasty also wanted to use Spanish silver dollars to buy goods from Western countries, why are you talking about using Tongbao for all transactions? Wouldn't it be enough to trade directly with silver?

Chen Mu saw the old man's doubts and smiled: "First of all, the things sold in the Ming Dynasty were processed products. We sold silk, flower cloth, bird guns, cannons, large casting utensils, and also sold sugar, cigarette rolls, tea and porcelain, but we don't need to buy processed products from the West, just buying raw materials is enough. We get more silver in the transaction, and they get less silver dollars."

"Second... Have you heard that the treaty says that half of the silver produced by the Potosi silver mine will be minted by us."

"Wanli Tongbao will expand westward and become a currency including co-governance, that is, the entire Asian state. In the future, they will go to Ailan and Spain, and they will use our currency."

Chen Mu always thought he was right, that the Potosi Silver Mine and the Spaniards were his reserves.

Chen Mu said cautiously: "The only problem is to prevent counterfeit coins!"
