Starting from the end of March of the seventh year of Wanli, such news was circulating on the streets and alleys of Changsheng County.

On the last day of April, the valley campus surrounded by terraces on both sides of Beidaying on Changsheng County will be open to all people. As long as you use Tongbao to buy a ticket with a seat number in advance, from dawn to dark, a large-scale shooting competition will determine the outcome here.

The Beiyang Banner Army has 45 Ministry of Households, Ailan has 10 Ministry of Households, and of course there are 530 individual archers selected by the inspectors, Baojia, and the guerrillas. They will show their skills there.

On the night of the competition, there will be a grand fireworks performance.

In addition, the teahouses and restaurants on the second floor of the city market made a fortune and were settled early... Many people were not interested in shooting competitions, but were very interested in fireworks performances.

The seat tickets for shooting competitions also fluctuate with the good or bad position. The cheapest one is only ten Tongbao, while the most expensive one is tens of thousands of Tongbao.

During these days, the people who were employed were busy shaping the land on the terraces outside the school yard, and the timber farm was also busy making chairs, which made Chen Mu feel very demanding.

The ever-winning terraces were not built after the Ming army came, nor were they built by the Spanish. They were built by the indigenous people in a longer period of time, with complete stone-machining levels and very advanced drainage and irrigation systems.

It is worth mentioning that the indigenous people did not use any adhesive when building large stone buildings. They built the stone into a mortise and tenon structure and piled it together, which was very strong and firm.

However, the terraces in the east were abandoned when the Ming army landed, and it was difficult for the terraces to quickly restore their fertility without irrigation for a long time. Because they were close to Beidaying where the Beiyang Banner Army built barracks, there was a flat ground that was so wide that it could run horses. Therefore, they were planned as a schoolyard by the Ming army and repaired it.

Chen Mu also asked three wooden archways to be built on both sides of the highest point of the terrace.

This time, the flat terraces were just used as stands. Chen Mu ordered people to place a large number of simple wooden long seats on them, write them on them to sell tickets, and also specially ask someone to use bricks and wood to build a stand that can be properly protected in the most suitable position.

The Duke of Alva, who was far away in Mexico City, also learned the news and both angrily and amusedly mocked Chen Mu's greed for money to monk Acosta and Deputy Governor Almansa.

Chen Mu held three "VIP tickets" in the letter and told the Spanish Duke that the shooting competition in Changsheng County was about to begin. He also taught the Duke that each VIP ticket could bring four followers into the most comfortable and majestic position in the stands to watch the game. These three tickets were handed over to Alva, Almansa and Acosta respectively.

Each VIP ticket is worth 50,000 Tongbao. When he comes, he remembers to go to Wangjiabao on the border to exchange Tongbao to pay the debt, otherwise General Fu from the border would not let them come here.

"If he doesn't want to invite us, don't let someone come and send a letter."

The boss Governor Almansa was also angry that Chen Mu promised him to take over New Spain again, and sent Yang Ting to take over everything. He raised his hands that had two fingers missing in the assassination and said: "These tickets are too expensive. I can guarantee that the same tickets will be much cheaper on the border. He always does this!"

The Changsheng County Mint is very efficient, and the patterns on Spanish silver coins are customized, which is not a problem for military craftsmen. The sample coins were prepared the month when Martyn sent silver and sent 10,000 to Mexico City.

The casting level is much better than that of Peru. Each silver coin weighs almost exactly the same shape. Although it is lighter than the silver coin in the past, it is more beautiful and exquisite. The Spanish powerful people in Mexico City are generally satisfied.

The only thing that makes people dissatisfied is that not only does the Latin words "Philip II is the Lord of Spain" and "There is a world overseas", there is a line of Chinese on the top of the silver coins on the front and back.

On the front is the Chinese text "Long Live the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty", below is the Latin text "Philip II is the Lord of Spain"; on the back is the Chinese text "The Asian Mint was minted in the seventh year of Wanli of the Ming Empire", below is the Latin text "There is a world overseas".

Of course, the word "half-liang" written on the left and right columns of the four-grid emblem on the front is indispensable.

Despite some dissatisfaction, this is worth it compared to the superb coin quality shown by the Peruvian Mint Ming Empire.

Monk Acosta mentioned the dissatisfaction of the West India Council to Duke Alva on this matter. The monks were not dissatisfied because there was Chinese on the silver coins. What made them most dissatisfied was that the Ming Empire did not mention the gods on the silver coins, which was undoubtedly very disrespectful.

But these complaints were retorted by the Duke of Alva.

"You know Chen Mu's character. Legions across Spain are waiting for these silver coins to pay military salaries. We still have more than 2 million taels of silver in his hands. If he is angry, can those monks who can make wine in the committee go to Chen Mu to get the silver back?"

The answer is obvious.

In the sky and the earth, no one can take out silver from Chen Mu's mouth.

Now, the exchange ratio between newly minted silver coins and Asian Tongbao is easy to calculate, and one silver coin is 450 Tongbao.

General Fu said that this was because the silver coins were minted by the Ming Dynasty, so the exchange ratio was given to Spain's 50 Tongbao, which was equivalent to one tael of silver and eight hundred in the past, and now two silver coins were 900 in the past.

The Spanish high-ranking people in Mexico City generally do not believe in Fu Yuan. They think this should be the silver coins they exchanged this year, and they will not have to mint coins next year, which saves a process, so the exchange rate is increased.

How expensive is it to exchange 111 silver coins for a ticket to watch the gift?

"Of course he doesn't want us to go, he wants those stupid nobles in New Spain to go."

Duke Alva said this, and his walking stick paused heavily on the floor: "Governor Yang has sent a letter to the nobles in the city and plantations in various places. As long as you pay a price of 1,800 Tongbao per person, you can enter the Changsheng to watch the shooting competition. If you pay a higher price, you can get a better position."

"He also wanted to tell me a news: before and after the ever-win shooting competition, the border line will be left to our Western Army to control it, so we must manage the defense for him."

The Duke of Alva sighed helplessly: "He lets us be on our own guard."

Is there anyone more rogue in this world than this?

The whole hob is a meaty thing. You said that these two armies are in a confrontation. Even if they sign a ceasefire agreement, they are still in a confrontation. Can you respect our Spanish army, even if you leave a hundred people, it’s okay?

You just shrank your troops and drew a line for me, asking me to send some soldiers to the opposite side of the line to install your troops to defend myself?

Europe doesn't do that.

"Then, are we going?"

Acosta and Almansa looked at each other, and no one asked the question they were thinking about: Are Chen Mu not afraid that we will take advantage of the situation and fight?

"go!"
