Jia Min's Counterattack

Luzon Island is the largest island in this sea area, and it is also the island closest to Ryukyu and Daming in the north.Most of the people living on the island are aborigines who came from Malays thousands of years ago. There are also some Daming people who came here from Quanzhou to make a living, and a small number of businessmen and missionaries who came from the West.

Luzon Island is very rich in resources, with many large and small gold mines, copper mines, and iron mines.There is a large peninsula in the northernmost part of Luzon Island. The entire peninsula extends southward for a hundred miles and is a rolling mountain. There are dense red sandalwood trees and huanghuali trees growing on the mountain, which are extremely precious woods in Daming.And somewhere in this high mountain, there is a gold mine with a very high gold content, which is still unknown.

On this day, Lin Ruhai took Lao Yingying and several old dark guards with the best kung fu to Luzon Island by boat.They first met with the eighth uncle who was exploring gold mines in Luzon, and the eighth uncle showed Lin Ruhai the mine map he had drawn.

"Looking at the trend of the ore vein, it happens to be from the peninsula to the southwest, passing through the entire mountain forest. In other words, we have to buy this entire mountain forest! Master, I'm afraid this will not be an easy task!" Old Shadow frowned.

"It's really not easy. Although no one lives on this mountain, the area is too large. I'm afraid the chief will suspect it!" Eighth Uncle said worriedly.

"We have to offer benefits that he can't refuse, but we must not expose our true intentions for buying this forest." Lin Ruhai said

"Master already has an idea?" Eighth Uncle asked.

"The master means to exchange things with them!" Old Shadow said.

"That's right! What do you think Luzon Island needs most?"

Old Shadow and Eighth Uncle, the dark guards, looked at each other and shook their heads in ignorance.Lin Ruhai smiled and said to them: "Except for the northernmost mountains in Luzon, most places in the south are plains and swamps, which are very suitable for planting rice. But their rice is still the most primitive planting method, harvested every year. Rice is limited. Although they rely on the sea and can catch seafood for food, the people of Luzon still go hungry every year. This has led many people to go to sea to become pirates, just for a bite of food. "

"Master, you mean to exchange the rice planting recipe we have for that mountain forest?" Uncle Ba said.

"Of course these are not enough, and one more important thing must be added!"

"What?" Old Shadow asked.

"ice!"

"Oh! Why didn't this subordinate think of it? With this ice-making recipe, the chief of Luzon may be willing to exchange that piece of forest with us! Hahaha!" Old Shadow happily took a picture own forehead.

"What kind of ice-making recipe?" Uncle Ba asked strangely.

"It's the formula that our mistress researched, using saltpeter to make ice!"

"Saltpeter can also make ice!" Uncle Eight said in disbelief.

"That's right, an underground secret room has been specially vacated on our island to make ice. Everyone's room is equipped with a full ice basin. It's very cool!" Old Shadow smiled proudly.

"Our mistress is really amazing!" Eighth Uncle said with emotion.

"Of course! You haven't seen it. Our mistress looks like a fairy. The key is that she is smart and generous. Our young master is only two years old, and he is not as smart as such a young child. He really deserves to be the master and mistress. son!"

Lin Ruhai listened to them praising his wife and children, feeling extremely proud in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Ruhai and his party took their own carriage to the seat of the chief of Luzon Island, Manila on the west coast of Luzon.Manila was built on a bay in the southwest of Luzon. It is the largest port in Luzon. Many Malays and people from Western countries come here to do business, most of them are in the jewelry and spice business.This has resulted in the large population and prosperity in the west of Luzon, while the east and north are sparsely populated.

Lin Ruhai sent someone to deliver a letter to the chief in advance. The chief had heard of Lin Family Island a long time ago, and was very curious about the people of Lin Family Island who were said to be able to "go to the sky and enter the sea" like immortals.Because of the prestige of Lin Family Island, the chief was also a little apprehensive about Lin Ruhai's sudden visit.It has been 200 years, and the surrounding islands, large and small, have almost changed their colors when talking about Linjia Island. The mysterious hidden weapons on Linjia Island passed down by the old people, and the immortality and unique skills of the people on the island, all let the younger generation They believe that Linjiadao is occupied by gods, and anyone who dares to invade will die without a place to bury him.Although Lu Song had never participated in the siege of Lin Family Island, he had heard so many legends about Lin Family Island that he would inevitably feel fear.

Lin Ruhai and the others were taken to a palace dedicated to receiving distinguished guests by the great elder who came to greet them. The palace was not very big, but it was studded with gold and gems of various colors everywhere, making people dizzy.Lin Ruhai frowned slightly in displeasure, but thinking of another purpose of coming here, she stretched her brows, thinking about how to buy the best gems from the chief.

The chief of Luzon is named Rotlett. He is in his 30s. He is short in stature, dark-skinned, but has big eyes. He wears a gold crown on his head, which is also inlaid with many gemstones.Rotlett saw a group of tall and muscular people coming in, and a handsome man in white with a radiant bearing was obviously the leader of the group.Although this handsome man like an exiled immortal is not as strong as his followers, but he is tall and tall, with sharp eyes and a chilling aura around him, which makes him even taller than those of his followers in terms of momentum.

Lin Ruhai let Rotlitt finish looking at himself, and then said with a smile: "Hello, Lord Chief, I'm going down to Lin Ruhai, the current owner of Lin Family Island!"

Luo Teli fixed his mind, put his right hand on the position of the heart and bent slightly: "Welcome Lin Daozhu to our Luzon as a guest, honored guest, please take a seat!"

After Lin Ruhai and Luo Telit sat down respectively, Lin Ruhai pointed to the gift boxes in the hands of several old secret guards and said, "This is my first visit, this is a small gift, and it's all from my own family. I hope the Chief will accept it!"

The old dark guard opened the gift box, revealing the exquisite porcelain, silk and several tins of tea inside.The chiefs are no strangers to these things. Merchants from western countries will also resell these things from Daming to them, and then buy their spices and gems.It's just that although these things are good, they are expensive, and even with his noble status, he can't enjoy them casually.The chief was very satisfied with Lin Ruhai's generosity, and felt that Lin Ruhai came to make friends with him very sincerely, and at the same time relaxed and chatted with Lin Ruhai.
