"I have to explain some things, it's not that I don't believe you, it's mainly because you don't get gossiped by others.

Your family business must be managed by your children, and you cannot use your identity to seek benefits for the family business. After all, there are still [-] Chinese children joining the army. You must lead by example. "

"According to the purpose"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will arrange this within two days and we will never let you down."

Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with their performance, smiled slightly and said:

"Also, Daming wants to open a school in Luzon, one school in each town, and the teachers who teach Chinese in the school will also be selected from the Chinese.

The aboriginal children in Luzon must go to school to learn Chinese. After three years, the children in Luzon must learn to speak the official language of Ming Dynasty. If there are aboriginals who refuse to learn the Chinese language, they will be sent directly to Ceylon for mining.

I hope that in the near future, the main language of all areas under the jurisdiction of Nanhai Province, Luzon, Malacca, Ceylon, etc. will be Ming Mandarin. There is no room for negotiation. Do you understand? "

The four hurriedly saluted again:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. We guarantee that in three years, the indigenous children will all be able to speak Ming Dynasty Mandarin and learn Chinese history."

Chapter 589

After the patriarchs of the four major families in Luzon stepped down, they immediately began to work in accordance with the emperor's request.

Zhang Shantang and Liu Fengxiang are in charge of recruiting troops, the number of which is about [-]. Although it is said to be a security force, they will be trained as regular troops.

After the conscription is over, the Ming army will send instructors to train them.

These 2000 people not only maintain local security, but also cooperate with the navy and army to resist the invaders when foreign enemies invade.

Physical fitness and firearms training will be strengthened, marksmanship and artillery must be proficient in use, and even bayonet fighting must be proficient.

Their ring silver is four dragon coins per month, which is equivalent to four taels of silver. After retiring, they will be arranged to work on the farm.

This treatment is not low, mainly because they also bear relatively large risks.

Because the Dutch and Spaniards will come to attack Luzon at any time.

The enthusiasm of the Chinese for joining the army was very high, and more than 1 people interviewed on the first day.

Even more than 1000 indigenous people came. They were very envious of the treatment they received as soldiers, and they all expressed their willingness to be loyal to Ming Dynasty.

When Zhang Shantang and Liu Fengxiang saw so many people applying for the job, they were very happy from ear to ear.

There are so many people, there are more choices, and they can choose young people with better physical fitness to join the army.

The two discussed it and finally decided to recruit 1800 Chinese and 200 high-quality natives.

Recruiting some aborigines will not only make it easier to manage the aborigines, but also make more aborigines feel that their status has improved, which is conducive to assimilation.

Li Yu's task is to formulate commercial and agricultural taxes in accordance with Zhu Youjian's instructions.

Zhao Jin is in charge of counting the population and building schools.

He is not doing these things alone, there will be some Ming soldiers and Chinese to help him.

After the establishment of the Protectorate of Luzon, under the recommendation of the four major families, many talented Chinese joined the Protectorate. They were all civilian officials, and they were all managed by Shi Lang for the time being.

Whether it's recruiting troops, collecting taxes, counting population, or building schools.

Because of the change of status, these Chinese are doing their best to do things for Daming.

In the past, they could only do business to make money, but now it is different.

Now they have become the masters of Luzon, where their status is supreme and they must lead by example.

Driven by the four masters and the Chinese, all aspects of Luzon began to get on the right track.

The construction of coastal defense and bunkers is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Especially in the construction of the bunker, the workers are mainly Chinese, and the aborigines have not been involved for the time being.

Zhu Youjian didn't want the natives to know the internal structure of the bunker, so as not to leak information.

For the sake of secrecy, the cement formula is in the hands of Shi Lang and his two absolute confidants, and outsiders cannot access it for the time being.

Zhu Youjian led the generals to inspect various places and construction sites in Luzon, and found nothing wrong, and returned to the Duhu Mansion to discuss the date of returning to Daming.

As soon as he sat down in the handsome mansion, Qinglong walked up to Zhu Youjian and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the capital is here, and they have just arrived at the naval base."

In fact, Qinglong just received a report that the capital sent people to Luzon.

Hearing the news, Zhu Youjian felt that something important had happened, and decided to summon someone from the capital immediately.

"Quick, let them come to see me right away."

"Yes"

Qinglong led the order and personally went to the naval base to pick him up.

After Qinglong left, Zhu Youjian began to feel a little uneasy. It has been a long time for him to go on a personal expedition, almost half a year.

Was there a turmoil in the capital during this period?

Thinking of this question, Zhu Youjian couldn't help shaking his head, it was almost impossible.

Sun Chuanting and Sun Chengzong are sitting in the capital. They were both summoned by Zhu Youjian, and there is no possibility of betrayal.

The two also have the Shenji Battalion and the New Army under their command, who can threaten them.

There is Yue Fei guarding the Northeast, and Li Cunxiao Xuanjia cavalry exists in Mongolia.

Li Yan's 30 troops guard the northwest, and Lu Aiguo in North Korea.

In the southwest, there is Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, guarding, and there are Qin Liangyu white soldiers in Sichuan.

It is impossible for these people to rebel, no matter where they come from, there is no possibility of problems!

"Minister Zhang Shize, see Your Majesty!"

Just when Zhu Youjian was thinking about what was going on in the capital, a voice rang in his ear.

Zhu Youjian hurriedly raised his head to look at the person who came, only to find that it was Zhang Shize, Duke of Great Britain.

The Duke of England had a very prominent reputation and status in Ming Dynasty, and at the most glorious time, he had three titles in one family.
