The experience of Manraga in the throat of the ocean has made Liu Ting learn a lot of things and grow a lot, he knows the importance of this strait better than anyone else, otherwise it would not have attracted the Taixi people to fight in turn.

What's more, there were people from the palace who came to the Manraka royal family in the previous dynasty, but the Manraka dynasty were all outsiders, and the local natives did not establish their own political power, so even if the Taixi people did not come to make trouble, Siam, Thailand, also sent troops to occupy it several times.

It seemed to him that Jia Cong was wise to push off the king of Manraka and avoid future troubles.

Having come into contact with all kinds of foreigners, Liu Ting's horizons have become more and more broadened, and he knows that without Jia Cong's iron-fisted means and leading spirit, this kind of trade wealth will still not be earned by Chinese people, even if it is at the door of Huaxia's own home. It's about letting foreigners come across the ocean to earn business at their doorstep.

He will not be able to sit in this position, which is enough to make many colleagues in the mainland envious, Liu Ting believes that he will also risk his life along with him.

Therefore, he thought about it a lot, and felt that he was still unable to exist independently, so he didn't dare to think too much about it for the time being, and he was even more worried that the rumors that Jia Cong had not done anything big in the past two years had come down, in case this backer fell, and other people were not clear about the situation here, it was really difficult to do, but fortunately, it was Lu Tingwan who went back here, and he had to plan well, at least he had to leave a way back.

……

East Indonesia, Banten Island, Wall Street.

Banten has always been the main trading island for the export of pepper to Tianzhu and Huaxia, and is one of the Moluccas.

And the name of Wall Street was brought to the world by the Netherlands, and there are many Wall Streets in the Netherlands, and even Wall Street in New York was brought by the Dutch, but they did not have colonial victories.

Even so, the Netherlands still gave all their colonies indelible traces, Wall Street is just one of them, Dutch, some Dutch variants, and modern people in the former Dutch colonies have to learn to defend themselves and study historical materials.

There were many such countries in the South Seas, as well as Japan, which had to learn Dutch, because the Netherlands were the only ones to trade with the Tokugawa shogunate when it was closed down, not to mention the fact that the number of Japanese Catholics reached 300,000.

At this time, there were still Dutch people on Wall Street in Banten, which was an unavoidable Dutch businessman, and Lu Tingwan and others who returned here saw it, and they went to the small bunker town that originally belonged to the Netherlands, and Lu Tingwan met Ai Shuangshuang who went south from Penghu Lake.

Ai Shuangshuang also had the momentum of the superior, pedaling long boots, big horse golden knife, and said with a smile: "The governor thought that Governor Liu would come, but I didn't expect that Vice Governor Lu would come." ”

Lu Tingwan smiled and didn't answer, Wei Ruolan said: "Governor Ai should have received the holy decree from the imperial court to go to Beijing to report on his work, the original supervisor Jia Cong asked me to ask." ”

"Say hello to Scholar Jia on my behalf!" Ai Shuangshuang arched his hand towards the north: "I think Ai someone was originally just a criminal in the prison, and he was convicted of meritorious service, and he was promoted to become rich, thanks to the support of Jia University." ”

"If you say anything superfluous, Ai won't say it, so I will show everything with my actions, I will spare three million taels for the time being, trouble Vice Governor Lu, hand it over to the imperial court on my behalf, and give it to the university scholar."

Wei Ruolan and the others seemed to be very satisfied, Lu Tingwan nodded and agreed, the trade between Penghu and Yilan and Jilongyu must be too much worse than Malacca, although the country of Qianxiang has been surrendered, but everyone knows that the Queen of Luqiu family, Chen Hua family and other trees have deep roots, and the trade products of that island cannot be completely touched, otherwise there will be another war, but fortunately, Ai Shuangshuang slowly took over the trade share of the Netherlands in the country.

Everyone looks at this Ai Shuangshuang, his figure is much better than Jia Cong, everyone knows that this person is a criminal born as a craftsman, he has a martial arts foundation since he was a child, and he was bullied and murdered and imprisoned. Read a book

Ai Shuangshuang also taught Jia Cong some basic knowledge of martial arts and martial arts, including Lu Tingwan, and now they are really like a dream when they think about it.

Everyone was originally worried that people from his background would be more unscrupulous, but in fact, Ai Shuangshuang has been exposed to opera and the market since he was a child, and he has some cultural knowledge, which can be described as both civil and military, if he is not bullied to the point of desperation, how can he kill people.

Thinking of her background, Lu Tingwan proposed: "We all know that the Dutch still use people from orphanages and almshouses as pioneers, and we also spend the country's domestic money on the health hall, so we might as well try it." ”

Ai Shuangshuang said: "There are many people who come out of the Dutch orphanage, and I heard that they still run a wealthy place in the Americas. ”

Zhou Wenbai said: "North America or South America?" ”

"South America, called Suriname."

"The Americas are probably mostly controlled by Spain." Zhou Wenbai and others got a lot of news in this mixed place, and they also heard about the two great riches of Mexican civilization and Peruvian civilization, that is, the Sino-American civilization and the Inca civilization, but unfortunately Spain grabbed it too quickly.

"You can think about these slowly, and you have to ask what Scholar Jia means. Thanks to Britain, if the Anglo-Dutch War had not been fought, the Dutch West India Company might have come to its aid. Ai Shuangshuang said.

They didn't know that the Dutch West India Company was a relatively small number of WICs, and that the Netherlands had already begun to decline, and that it was also beneficial for them to involve each other in the war, otherwise with their urine, Governor Van Dyck would have been killed, and the Anglo-Dutch war could have been fought for centuries.

came out to purchase a large number of spices, and Lu Tingwan and the others went north again.

Although it is incomprehensible that Ai Shuangshuang still retains trust and even faith in Jia Cong, they are very happy during this mission, and they still have a lot of silver to earn.

And Ai Shuangshuang, who saw their fortune ships and warships far away from Banten Island, only he knew that it was Jia Cong who brought him out of the bottom of the bitter sea, and he cherished everything now.

On this day, Liu Ting's army finally drove to Banten Island, and the officers and soldiers of the Shun Dynasty conducted a military drill of warships and artillery in the waters of the Moluccas.

After the two governors exchanged pleasantries, Liu Ting said: "Let's take Ambon and Timor Island first, let's protect their trade, I believe they are willing, otherwise they can only accept the plunder of others." ”

"Ternate still can't be beaten hard." Ai Shuangshuang was very cautious, he knew what the situation of the fanatical *** cultists was, and said, "We protect their trade, take taxes from it, and give them contracts and prices. ”

"What do you do with black slaves?" Liu Ting obviously encountered this problem very early, and those foreigners who had transit stations in South Africa, the black slave trade was also a big one.

"In the area I took over, I signed blacks to contracts at the price of normal labor." Ai Shuangshuang said helplessly: "It's not that I'm kind, but I looked at the data analysis made by the British Embassy in Akane, Suriname is because of the death of a large number of indigenous people and black slaves, the labor force can not be sustained, and it will be finished slowly, I just want to make more money for a longer time." ”

Liu Ting thought for a moment and said, "I want to slowly open some of our Chinese character schools here, after all, many of our people there have married and had children." ”

"That's what I've been there for a long time." Ai Shuangshuang agrees, this is how the Netherlands and Great Britain have made their traces indelible, although the methods are different, but they can also do it.
