In the first year of Longqing, Li Yayuan, who had been a enemy in Weng Yuan and Heyuan for many years, was captured and killed by Guangdong General Yu Dayou.

When the Yellow River was broken, eight branch rivers were built. When the drought was used, the resources were used to save the grain, and when the water was flooded, the traffic was opened.

The one-whip method, which was implemented for a long time, was stopped due to the severe land drought in Zhili, Shandong, and was suspended in response to the memorial of the Minister of Revenue Ge Shouli.

This year, the Ming Empire's silver treasury was not enough to make ends meet. After spending border salary and salary, the deficit was 3.95 million,400 taels.

The cold winter in the north cannot affect Chen Mu, who is far away in Lingnan. His winter is as warm as spring, wandering between bent down the bow and arrow, and dismounting the horse and falling down the bow.

Compared with the progress of Chen Zongqi's archery technique, Deng Qianhu learned more.

Deng Zilong saw the Qingyuan Guards who were better than officers, and also clearly saw the flag troops who were better than serfs than officers and soldiers. Especially when Yu Ding harvested the double-season rice, this guy looked like a living bandit. He asked Chen General Qi to draw a picture of several farm tools he had never seen before.

Deng Zilong, the deputy family member with an uncertain future, came to Qingyuan to relax on the one hand, but this is the main purpose.

Training the military army was not difficult for him. The biggest difficulty was to raise military funds by himself. He used to be a battalion army, and all he needed was to request Shangguan Bao Xin to allocate military equipment, money and food.

But the guards were obviously different.

Chen Mu smiled when he saw his anxious look. Deng's deputy Qianhu was far from as depressed as he showed, but instead tried hard to sit in the position of deputy Qianhu to make contributions.

He has connections with the battalion system and has made contributions to the guard system. It should not be difficult to transfer it back to Guangdong to serve as a garrison.

It just so happened that Chen Mu was very happy to help Deng Zilong.

In fact, he believed that when Deng Zilong tasted the sweetness of the deputy Qianhu, he might not want to transfer the troops back to the camp - the hundred households are richer than the general, and the deputy Qianhu is also more comfortable than the guard.

There are some things that Chen Zongqi is not qualified to say now, and he can only make a good relationship, but perhaps when Bai Yuanjie comes back, his deputy Qianjia will be a foregone conclusion. At least he can go from a lower official position than the general manager to moving forward side by side.

Perhaps Chen Mu would have a higher official position than Deng Zilong. At that time, this powerful general who is famous for fighting Japanese pirates must recruit his subordinates to act if he has the chance.

The second season of rice, Chen Mu's harvest was enough to surprise everyone!

The commander did not pay attention to the harvest in the second quarter. Each acre was still 40% of the past, and generally 50% of the five dou; the court taxes and the salaries of the banner officials were paid for four dou. The banner troops of the other hundred households all year round, and the end of one acre of land fell to only eight or nine dou, even if it was more, it would not exceed two dou.

Chen Muqi had more than three dou of surplus, and still distributed ten stones of grain to the banner army. The hundred households saved more than two thousand stones of grain, and even the granaries built could not be built.

General Chen had no choice but to borrow a ox cart from Anyuan Station and transported 300 stones from the idle grain warehouse of the hundred households after Bai Yuanjie was promoted to deputy, after Bai Yuanjie was promoted to deputy, and then he transported 300 stones.

"Chen Erlang, are you saying that the balance of other hundred households is less than one or two of your own?"

Deng Zilong shook his head and saw the flag army that had received the food happily, but he came to Chen Mu's ear with concern and said, "You should let the flag army seal the door, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"You are from the Xiaoqi, and no matter how small the Xiaoqi is, you are a guardian. You all say that the flag army is a serf. The guardian is born as a guardian, and the serf is born as a serf, just like the difference between heaven and earth, sun and moon."

Deng Zilong's expression was very vague. Chen Mu really didn't understand it at first, but after a pause, he understood it.

What Qianhu, the deputy of the unknown ward station of Guangdong Metro, wanted to express his betrayal.

In words that Chen Mu is easier to understand, it is to advise him not to betray his own class, and not to touch the interests of others because of this.

"What are the heaven, earth, sun and moon? Deng Qianhu talks in a mess. The prefecture asks you to drive away the military family. Why don't you go?" Chen Mu shook his head and laughed, "Chen can't read that the flag army that sold his life will go hungry when he goes home. The military book says that the generals should love soldiers as their sons."

Deng Zilong looked at the flag army that had dispersed, and ridiculed at Chen Mu: "Yes, the guards and the flag army are fathers and sons. You love soldiers as much as your son, but you don't have to let other fathers know about your son. Look, sooner or later you will suffer."

The last sentence made Chen Mu's eyes light up. He was kind to the flag army and he really didn't have to let other flag officials know about it. It was not good.

Then he waved to the terrifying Lou Qimai and said, "Tell Junyu from door to door, don't show off how much they collect and how much food they send. Otherwise, they know what the result is if Chen's military order is not respected."

I know nothing!

When Lou Qimai goes to pass such military orders, his teeth will tremble!

Those who disrespect your Chen Junye's orders were the only ones who were killed by bird guns on Xinjiang Bridge. They also said that they were thinking of leaving a complete body in the first offender.

Just collect some food, as for killing people?

Chen didn't care about so much, he clapped his hands and felt happy, and said with a smile: "Whatever the sun and the moon, aren't they all stars, what about the orange cat and the husky, in the end, who is not a beast. Everyone is suffering, so why should we be a villain? Let's go and see the monkey in the sky, Chen also opened his eyes to Deng Qianhu!"

After the double-season rice harvesting, Guan Jiang took the money to the other two hundred households to exchange for three military craftsmen, each of whom was about the same age as Guan Yuangu.

Their profession is craftsmanship. Just like doctors, young people may have more good ideas, but craftsmanship is difficult to be exquisite. The older the craftsman, the more reassuring it is.

Chen Junye was lowly and had four craftsmen and eight or nine apprentices. He had initially established a team of craftsmen. He still had a silver sign contract, and his manpower increased greatly and his productivity also rose.

Improved Rockets were put on the agenda.

This matter is not difficult for experienced military craftsmen. They just make gunpowder into pushing drugs and exploding drugs, which is very dangerous. In the examples of the squad, Chen Mu repeatedly sent people to remind Guan Yuangu to pay attention to safety, and gave up his ideas, so that the military craftsmen could continue to experiment.

In more than half a month, Guan Yuangu sent someone to tell Chen Mu that the finished product that suited his ideas had been made.

Deng Zilong didn't know what the "Sky Monkey" was. He walked with Chen Mu to Tiefang Creek in confusion. He saw more than a dozen craftsmen surrounding a few thick wooden pipes placed on the wooden stand. The leader Guan Yuangu came over with a smile and bowed, saying, "General Flag, it's OK!"

"Cook it and see it."

The wooden tube, which is as thick as a wrist and as three feet long, is handed to Chen Mu's hand. The wall of the tube is half an inch thick, and there is a small trigger with a fuse on the side, which can be carried by someone to fire.

Inside is a rocket that looks like a fixed-loaded bullet. The difference is that the arrow in front of the rocket has been changed to a two-inch-long pyramid. The rocket's medicine body is one and a half feet long and the charge is very sufficient. A two-foot wooden stick comes out to the back of the middle to make a balance pole.

"How about the range of charge?"

Guan Yuangu said: "Twenty-five two-qian lead pills, for the sake of stability, the medicine can fly 200 steps. However, the explosive medicine will explode between eighty steps and a hundred steps. There will be no one who can survive in a radius of ten steps!"
