Chapter 144 Seating
Chen Mu didn't get to the bottom of it with Zhang Han. Even if Zhang Han was moved, he was so soft-spoken that he couldn't talk about the height of the temple.

As the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Zhang Hangui knew very little about the barbarians, but he was already a leader in the Ming Dynasty. If he knew so well, what if he wanted to persuade those court officials who were in the temple and didn't know about the barbarians?
One person is not enough to fight against an era.

Those who promote change and promote progress are only a mere few in the past and present?
How many people can withstand the backlash?

This will not make Chen Mu feel blocked. On the way back to Xiangshan on a few light and fast horses, Chen Qianhu sang an unknown tune all the way. He gave Zhang Han everything he wanted, and he would not be transferred to Guanghai. Wei is under the control of others, and the management in Haojingao will not be restrained, which is enough for Chen Mu.

As for those century-old plans that the old governor disagreed with, it was actually fine.

Without the support of the imperial court, he did it secretly, nothing more than benefiting the country and the people, but self-interest is still possible.

Can't you sneak around?

Once the gate is closed, who knows what really happened in Haojing!
Take a novice who doesn't understand four or six times into the Portuguese artillery factory as an apprentice, and then teach the experienced craftsmen of the Xiangshan Institute after he has completed his studies. Casting and forging, the mission of combining Chinese and Western is perfectly achieved.

If you want to use imperial students to enter Yi people's schools, you just want to use the brightest Ming Dynasty people of this era to learn the good and bad skills of foreigners. If you can't use students, can't you just use ordinary people? ?

It is not allowed to set up a school in Haojing, and the imperial court has agreed to Wei Xue.

In fact, the conversation with Zhang Han this time has strengthened his idea of ​​establishing a health school as soon as possible. Now he has to fight alone to hide his strength and bide his time. When the Xiangshan Health School has been completed for ten years, and then look up, there will be someone behind Master Chen waving the flag and shouting.

What made Chen Mu the happiest was that the old governor gave him a promise.

"Don't be greedy for merit before the battle. The four guards in Guangzhou are unreliable. Your Xiangshan defense is the most important thing. If you do this well, you will not be under control in the future."

What does it mean to be free?
Xiangshan County was promoted to the mansion, and Xiangshan was promoted to Wei?

Chen Mu didn't forget to think about it carefully, the Guangzhou mansion is so well-guarded, Zeng Yi didn't come and he had to say something.If the pirates don't come, all promises will be nothing but illusions.

Xiangshan Haojing.

It took a few days to come back, but Haojingao has not changed at all, but there are many fewer pedestrians on the street, and it is very desolate.

"Fan Yi is very honest. Since you are back, the navy's soldiers should also be transferred away. See you someday!"

Chen Lin left with the navy, but what he said made Chen Mu very strange. According to his thinking, he did not expect such a long delay at all. There was no problem with Fan Yi being trapped in the barracks?

"Qianhu don't have to worry about this. I have thought about this issue before, so after discussing with Zhou county magistrate, I asked Shao Baihu to separate them." Shi Qi clasped his fists and explained: "They are like the flags and flags of the general flag, and the soldiers Locking up together is easy to cause accidents, but the banner officers and the banner soldiers are separated, without the leader, those soldiers just want to eat and drink enough every day, as long as they send a mouthful of food, there will be no chaos."

Shi Qi said with a sinister smile, and said: "The nobles in the Fanyi can't stand it. They have made troubles several times in the past two days. I heard Li Dan said that he was afraid that we would kill them, and he said that they were in their hometown. A prisoner like this can be released by losing money, and these barbarians say we are barbarians."

"Whoever is full will kill them, and I expect them to pay taxes to Guangdong." Chen Mu waved his hand, and with this group of people, he regarded himself as a prisoner, and said: "Go tell them those nobles, now you can After coming out, I will see them here in an hour. For those who didn’t come, the boat was sunk along the coast, and the people were slaughtered along the coast. I will go to Zhou County Magistrate to discuss this matter.”

Shi Qi pointed out the destination of Zhou Xing to Chen Mu, turned around and walked to give the order, and Chen Mu smiled in the meeting square.

Zhou Xing really moved into the Portuguese city hall.

The city hall was very lively, the government servants transferred from Xiangshan came in and out, carrying letters and other items to the carriage, and then they transported them to the Xiangshan county government, Zhou Xing was writing something at the desk in the inner room, looked up and saw It was Chen Mu, who said eagerly: "Chen Qianhu, you can count back, what did the governor say?"

"What else can I do? The governor who is taking short-term profits has agreed, and the other few items are expected." Chen Mu shook his head, seeing the disappointment on Zhou Xing's face getting stronger, "How is your side?"

Chen Mu had discussed those matters with Zhou Xing in advance. Zhou Xing was more insightful than Zhang Han in this regard. Although he thought it was useless at first, he had personally seen the earth-shattering noise of the artillery firing from the fort. , I also know how powerful the artillery is to the morale of the enemy.

Some things are great only when you see them.

But to be honest, Chen Mu really hoped that the people living in this land would never have to know.

Unfortunately this is not possible.

Zhou Xing raised his hand and knocked on the small pendulum clock on the table, then pushed the book over and said, "The barbarian people are quite interesting. The people in Haojing have been counted. There were more than 400 households in my Ming Dynasty, and the people who lived on the island There are more than 100 barbarian merchants, not counting their servants, and the number of Japanese people is astonishing, with a thousand households."

"No, that's not Japanese." Chen Mu waved a finger and smiled, and said, "There are our Japanese pirates pretending to be Japanese. They are pirates. I'm afraid they will be caught and executed after statistics are collected."

Where would thousands of Japanese households come to Haojing, a small place? It would be an overestimate if there were three hundred Japanese households.

In the South China Sea of ​​this era, wise people are the main force of pirates.

"Don't care about them, go back to Chen to find their leader, now it's time for us to talk to their nobles about Haojing's new decree." Chen Mu smiled at Zhou Xing and said: "Brother Zhou just read the decree, Chen came to ask them to agree."

Zhou Xing was skeptical about this, so he got up and told the officials to put away the records and go to the meeting square with him, and said as he walked: "I don't understand the language, even if there is an interpreter you find, Fan Yi may not be able to understand the meaning, set rules for them, Too difficult."

"You don't need to find an interpreter, you just speak Chinese, let them find an interpreter themselves, if you can't find an interpreter, don't listen, it's not their decision."

Chen Mu didn't care, and suddenly remembered, he turned his head and asked, "By the way, has the remaining fort on the island been taken down these days?"

"It was taken early. As soon as you left, your adopted son led someone to seize the fort, and handed it over to Fu Baihu to take care of it."

Chen Mu felt relieved.

The pirates of the Ming Dynasty who were in Haojing seemed to become very popular all of a sudden. They were hired by various barbarian merchants and captains to act as translators, giving the maritime merchants from Huiquan and Quanzhou another limelight.

When Chen Mu and Zhou Xing walked to the meeting square together, the flag army set up a wooden platform, and barbarian merchants came one after another from various shops with their servants carrying chairs.

For them, it is a great opportunity to distinguish the status of the barbarians.

It seems that the whole world pays attention to the number of seats, but the situation in front of Chen Mu is extremely strange.
