The Luzon mentioned by Daming was later the Philippines, a place rich in servants.

Luzon at this time has been colonized for decades since Spain invaded Manila during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty.

In these decades, a relatively bad incident occurred, that is, the massacre of overseas Chinese by the Spaniards in the 31st year of Wanli.

The reason is also rather nonsense.

It originated from a carpenter named Zhang Yi. Through the relationship of some officials, this guy told the emperor that there is Jiyi Mountain outside Haicheng County, Fujian Province. The mountain produces golden beans, and suggested that the imperial court send people to dig for gold.

Since the imperial court was indeed not rich, after discussing with the ministers, Wanli dispatched an eunuch named Gao Cai and a county magistrate of Haicheng County, and led a group of people to Jiyi Mountain to look for gold mines.

Although I don't know if he has misunderstood the concept of Fujian outside, but this outside directly goes to Luzon.

Let's not talk about whether there are gold mines, but just where is Luzon?

It was their territory, and even though it was called a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was a lie.But Gao Cai doesn't understand these things, he only knows that he is someone close to the emperor, and he can walk sideways in Daming, let alone a small vassal state like yours?

He acted unusually high-profile in Manila, completely indifferent to the feelings of the Spaniards.Let the Spaniards become suspicious.

In the end, although Gao Cai and others found this Jiyi Mountain, they didn't even find a hair on the mountain.In the end, I dug a basket of soil and took it back for business.

They are gone, but the overseas Chinese in Manila have suffered.All kinds of rumors spread, saying that they were the secret agents of Daming. This time, Daming sent people to find them to spy on information. Next, he will send [-] troops to attack Manila. At that time, they will act as internal agents and kill all the Spaniards together.Then there were rumors spreading among the overseas Chinese that the Spaniards wanted to act first and kill all the overseas Chinese in Manila first.

The rumors made the overseas Chinese extremely panicked, and they decided to act first and kill the Spaniards.But how could a group of carpenters and tailors organize against the Spaniards with muskets, and they still attacked the city.As a result, it failed without any surprise. Afterwards, nearly 2 people were massacred.

After people were killed, it was fun, and the Spaniards remembered that there was a big tree like Daming behind these people.

They started to get scared. Killing so many people at the gate of someone's house was no small matter.What if Daming really sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers to beat him like the rumors he made?

So they began to strengthen the city wall while sending people to deliver letters to Daming.It is said that the rebellion of overseas Chinese in Manila had to be suppressed, and some people died.Now we are ready to return those who have been impounded.As a result, the letter was delivered again and again, and there was no news at all.

The Spaniard has spent more than a year in worry.It was not until the 33rd year of Wanli that Daming's request for punishment was long overdue.But there is only one letter, and the general content of the letter is as follows:

Luzon was originally a deserted island where ghosts and wild beasts were rampant. Fortunately, the people along the coast of Daming used to do business in the past, and it slowly became a city.The people of our Ming Dynasty also taught you to farm and build houses, so that you can gradually become rich.What did these people do to you that you killed so many people?

We also don't know what the cause of the fight was.Anyway, among the four types of common people in Ming Dynasty, merchants are lowly.They abandoned their families and spent all their time at sea, and everyone hated them.It's no pity to let this kind of untouchables go. How can we work hard and mobilize people to fight for them?

How can we use the untouchables to start a military revolution?

Look, what a level!

In fact, Zhu Youjian was quite speechless about Wanli's actions.Although it was indeed impossible to send troops to sea to fight at that time, if you can't fight, you can't fight, and you have to talk about saying that the untouchables are not worth sending troops.

You say that, can those overseas expatriates have a better life?How chilling?

Right now, the people who came to Taiwan to ask to buy seeds are actually Spaniards, that is, the Frankies that Daming was talking about at this time.

In fact, the Spaniards have deep hostility towards Ming Dynasty, after all, they were driven away from Taiwan not long ago.

After being expelled from Taiwan, they didn't care too much at first, because Taiwan was not as important as they thought.If this tasteless place is lost, it will be lost.

But within two years, they found out they were wrong.

Relying on Taiwan, not only Daming's business is booming, but cargo ships flying the banner of global commerce keep coming and going.Even on the island, large tracts of land have been reclaimed and planted with rice and sugar cane.

They began to regret it a little, but they were also afraid of Da Ming's powerful strength, and they didn't dare to compete with it at all.

But the more regrettable thing is still to come. Daming does not know where to get the good rice, and the rice yield can reach [-]-[-] catties per mu. Seeing that a place full of miasma is slowly being managed by them into a granary, the Spaniards The intestines are all regretful.

Finally, after reporting to the headquarters, it was decided that it was impossible to retake Taiwan, so they bought seeds from Daming and planted them.

So they sent people to find Shi Bangyao many times, and wanted to buy high-yield grain from him to grow.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Youjian decided to sell the seeds to them.

There are three reasons:

[-]. Luzon rice is harvested three times a year, and we can sign a grain repurchase agreement with them to deal with future domestic natural disasters.

[-]. Open up markets, control grain varieties, and lay the foundation for future global grain trade.

[-]. Prepare for future colonization.

In the perception of many people, it seems that valuable things are some precious things.In fact, in global trade, food has always been a very profitable business.

A, B, C, and D in later generations are known as the four major international grain merchants, and they have been quietly harvesting global wealth.Take soybeans as an example. The largest importer is the Rabbit Country, and the largest producer is the Football Kingdom. However, neither of these two countries has pricing power, and the pricing power is in the hands of American.

Just imagine what it would be like if the global food production and trade including pricing power were in the hands of Daming in the future.

After replying to Shi Bangyao's memorial, it was already dark.During dinner, Zhu Youjian thought of Hai Lanzhu, so he asked Wang Chengen beside him.

"Wang Banban, have the people you sent out come back? How is Hai Lanzhu?"

"Long live back. They have already returned. They found Zu Dabi at the seashore and handed Hai Lanzhu to him. They said that His Majesty gave it to him."

"How did Zu Dabi react?"

"Very happy."

"Haha! He was too happy!"

Tianjin

Zu Dabi was dining with sisters Hai Lanzhu and Dayuer.

"Officer, since His Majesty bestowed your elder sister to you, you must treat her well." During the dinner, Da Yu'er said to Zu Dabi.

"That's natural. You two, I will definitely not take sides. A bowl of water is level. Let you follow me to eat delicious food and drink spicy food!" Zu Dabi waved his hand, assuring the two of them.

"Sister, what's the matter with you? Are you unhappy?" Da Yuer asked curiously when she saw Hai Lanzhu lowered her head and said nothing.

Hai Lanzhu glanced at her sister.

happy?I'm so happy!

The woman who was originally the king of a country turned into this rough man's concubine.Who will be happy?The emperor of Ming Dynasty deceived others so much that he even rewarded me as a small general!

"It's nothing. I just miss my father a little bit." Hai Lanzhu prevaricated with a random excuse.

"When you say that, I miss home too."

"Hey! Why are you saying such sad words on such a beautiful day? Let's go back to the house. I'll teach you how to ride a horse!"

"Horse riding?" Hai Lanzhu was a little puzzled, what kind of horse could be ridden in the room?

"Sister, the official is very good at riding horses. I learned horsemanship from him. I will teach you today!" Da Yuer blushed slightly, and pushed Hai Lanzhu into the house.

"Hahaha!"

Zu Dabi laughed triumphantly, and walked towards the room with the two of them in his arms.

Second day

The traitor was tortured at Xishikou, which aroused the crowds of many people to watch.Zhu Youjian ordered the publication of the biography of the second official, and ordered people to publicize their despicable behavior at repeated propaganda points.

The common people who are used to listening to the plots such as the censor picking ashes finally ushered in a new story. Every day, a large group of common people gathered in front of the stage to listen to the stories of these traitors.

After October, the weather suddenly turned cold, the days were short and the nights were long, and people put on thick cotton coats on board.

Due to the gradual development of Universal Textiles, even though it was very cold this year, the price of cloth not only did not increase, but dropped slightly.Not only did the severe cold weather not depress the capital, but as the end of the year approached, the capital became more and more lively.There is an endless stream of merchants coming and going from south to north, and other foreigners with exotic costumes can be seen everywhere on the street.

If there are people, the economy can be driven.The teahouses, wine shops, and even some unspeakable places in the city have seen their businesses improve.

Zhu Youjian is very keen to go out of the palace without incident, but every time the people below are extremely nervous, as if they are facing an enemy.Later, he didn't go out when he had nothing to do, and the weather was too cold. When he was bored, he would read books and play games in the palace.

Time soon entered the twelfth lunar month.

Someone unexpected by Zhu Youjian came to Beijing.

Qin Liangyu.
