Chapter 523, Crescent City

At this time, not only Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang saw the huge potential of Manila and the huge wealth contained here, but the others also saw the richness of the Nanyang region with red eyes.

are also similar to the two of them, behind these people, they are all from the Ming Dynasty, and behind the business houses are these people at the top of the Ming Dynasty, the princes and ministers of the imperial court, the big families from all over the country, the gentry, the big businessmen, and so on.

I came to Nanyang to make money, and the purpose is very simple~

Now seeing such a huge wealth on display, I will tell you bluntly that the Nanyang region is very rich, and some of them are wealthy, as long as you follow the back of the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company, you will be able to eat enough after keeping it.

There are many advantages to occupying Manila, and everyone hurriedly took a leave of absence and went back to tell the people behind them, send more people here, take root here in Manila, and lay the foundation for making a lot of money in the future.

This is the effect that Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong want.

Relying on the power of Tianjin's ocean trade bank, it is always too small, and the most important thing is to rely on interests to drive more people to participate in overseas expansion and colonization, so as to drive the entire Ming Dynasty to expand outward.

Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong looked at the lively scene in the castle, and when they saw that these people's eyes were red, they immediately smiled happily.

"It's still Liu Gongzi's method that is easy to use, simple, direct and effective~"

"It's still the old saying, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and there is always no escape from a good word."

Du Mingen said with some sighs: "Now the fleet here in Tianjin is almost going to the Golden Continent, I hope they can all make a fortune, so that more people will go to the Golden Continent." ”

"The Golden Continent, like this South Seas, is a good place, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and there are countless treasures, which is a gift from God to me Daming."

Du Mingen sighed very much, he used to just do business in Daming, and he always felt that Daming was the best in the world, and after really coming out for a walk, he would find that the world was very big and there were many good places.

"Master Hou, look at this Manila Bay, does it look like a crescent moon?"

Lin Shuhong smiled, and turned his eyes to the entire Manila Bay area, the whole harbor is very large and beautiful, the turquoise water, the crescent-shaped structure, when standing on the top of this castle and looking at the past, the scenery is extremely beautiful.

"It's indeed a crescent moon, it's beautiful~"

Du Mingen nodded and said.

"The name of this Manila is very unpleasant, and it does not conform to the habits of our Ming people, how about changing the name of it to Crescent Bay?"

"In the future, the city we will build here will be called Crescent City~"

Habitually, the first thing to do is to change the name, the original name is too ugly and very awkward, it must be changed, changed to a name that conforms to the Ming Dynasty.

"Crescent City?"

"Crescent Bay?"

"It's a good name, full of poetry, and it's also in line with here, that's it~"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately nodded again and again.

A trip to the Golden Continent, they have given a lot of places names, Yuxi, Qianhekou, Sanjiangkou, etc., when it comes to taking names, everyone will come to the spirit, this is the history of the name, after the establishment of this crescent city, everyone will remember that the person who named this place is he Lin Shuhong and Du Mingen.

As for the original name of Manila, it doesn't matter anymore, this is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, Du Mingen's side officially announced a series of news to everyone.

The first is that Manila Bay will be renamed Crescent Bay, where the Tianjin Ocean Trade Company will build a crescent city modeled after the Ryukyu City.

Crescent City welcomes major domestic commercial banks and individuals to invest, and welcomes Daming immigrants to Crescent City, and all Ming people who are willing to immigrate to Crescent City will receive 50 acres of land permanently.

The second is to declare that the Crescent City will henceforth belong to the Ming Dynasty, and the land within 100 kilometers of the Crescent City will belong to the Ming Dynasty as a punishment for the Luzon State.

The third article is to declare that the native natives of Luzon within 100 kilometers around the Crescent City have become reserve citizens of the Ming Kingdom and can enjoy the protection of the Ming Dynasty, but they must pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty and perform the conscription on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

If you are unwilling to become a second-class citizen of the Ming Kingdom, you must leave within a hundred kilometers of the Crescent City within seven days, otherwise it will be regarded as an infringement on the Ming Dynasty and will be punished by the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth article declares that the native natives must leave the 20-mile range of the crescent castle, and are not allowed to enter this area without permission, and the time limit is seven days to move.

Article 5 declares that the Ming Dynasty enjoys the right to mine all areas above Luzon Island, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty can freely prospect and open mines in Luzon.

All the minerals explored, the Ming Emperor accounted for 30%, the Ming Dynasty accounted for 30%, and the remaining 40% belonged to the discoverers and miners. Qi Yan reads

The news released by Du Mingen's side spread in an instant here in Crescent Bay, causing a huge sensation.

The people of the Ming Dynasty who came here were naturally elated and excited, which was simply the sound of heaven, especially the fifth article, which allowed the people of the Ming Dynasty to freely prospect and mine in the entire Luzon, which was definitely super blockbuster good news.

You must know that Luzon is rich in gold and silver, and a box of gold looted from the castle can tell how high the gold production here is.

There are many large and small gold mines on Luzon, and now they are allowed to prospect and mine freely, which is tantamount to encouraging people to crowd to Luzon.

In the Ming Dynasty, almost all minerals belong to the Ming court, especially gold and silver mines, which are royal things, and no individual dares to mine them privately.

Of course, there are no gold mines in Daming, the gold mines with gold have long been exhausted, and there are still some silver mines, but the output is already very low.

Now the biggest mining in Daming is coal, and if you have a mine containing coal in the Beijing-Tianjin area, it will definitely be the rhythm of making a fortune.

Now, Du Mingen directly announced that everyone is allowed to come to Luzon to prospect and mine freely, which is absolutely crazy, although the prospectors and miners only account for 40%, and most of the heads have been taken by the emperor and the imperial court.

But everyone takes this for granted, without the protection of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, they dare to come here to prospect and mine?

If you make a big hand, it is equivalent to protection, and other people will not dare to rob you even if they are red-eyed, not to mention that this is Luzon, and there are many natives.

In addition to the excitement of allowing prospecting and mining, everyone also feels very proud.

These things released by Du Mingen are very domineering, although the king of Luzon and many princes and ministers were killed, but Luzon was not destroyed after all.

Du Mingen directly and very domineeringly announced that this place belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and announced that the surrounding area belonged to the Ming Dynasty within 100 kilometers, which did not put Luzon in his eyes at all, nor did he ask about the meaning of Luzon.

Everyone also believes that the Luzon side will definitely not dare to have any opinions, after all, even the king has been destroyed, and the entire Luzon is actually very small, there are several other cities, but they dare not say a word?

"Okay~"

"According to this, I am domineering and mighty~"

"Teach them a hard lesson in Luzon, and let them know how powerful I am Ming, and a small country with a big fart dares to bully my Mingren, it's just looking for death."

"If they don't destroy the Luzon State, it's all up to the face of the suzerainty and the vassal state."

"Do you want to go prospecting together~"

"If you can find a gold mine, you will really make a fortune~"

"How can it be so easy, there is very little development on this Luzon Island, there are primeval dense rainforests everywhere, and there are these natives in it, which is very dangerous."

"Not dangerous? Is there a place where you eat meat? ”

"I don't think there is anything to be afraid of these natives, my Ming army easily took them down, we recruit some people, fully armed, it will definitely be fine."

"Yes, yes, Luzon is rich in gold, have you seen that box, a box of gold, it's just started now, if you want to get rich, you have to hurry up, I'll repair the book now, let the firm send more people over."

“……”

The Ming people are excited, gold is always the most fascinating, but also the most motivating thing.

As for these local natives, they are all like ashes, and the Ming side is really too domineering.

Directly announced that this place has become the place of the Ming Dynasty, the key is to ask them to leave Crescent Bay, they can't continue to stay here, they must leave the Crescent Moon for twenty miles, and they can't approach here without permission in the future.

Many people are not reconciled, this is their home after all, although most of it has been razed to the ground, but after all, it is also home, anyway, most of it is built with wooden sheds, and it is not effortless.

As long as they are given a little time, they can easily build it again, and now it's okay, the Ming people don't allow them to live within twenty miles of Crescent Bay, and they must leave here.

Crescent Bay is the earliest and best developed place, and it will be redeveloped after twenty miles, and many places are still virgin rainforests.

But although they were unwilling, they did not dare to resist in the slightest, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty has been shocked in their minds so far, Lagan and other princes and nobles were killed, and Rapp and others were burned alive, which also made them shake the Ming people.

If you want to live, you can only obediently move to a place twenty miles away.

Now he can be regarded as a preparatory citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he can enjoy the protection of the Ming Dynasty, and maybe he will not be worse than the original Ming in the future.

After all, Daming is the suzerain, and Daming has always been synonymous with wealth in their impressions, and it seems to be very good to become a reserve citizen.
