As soon as the topic came to the Spaniards, the excited expressions on everyone's faces were poured with cold water, and they began to think deeply, except for a few complaining proprietors and shopkeepers.

"The fleet of the Great Buddha Robot is powerful, and I don't need to say more, everyone must be very clear; And their greed and cruelty, I'm afraid everyone knows better. Li Tianyang looked around and said calmly and with a slight sense of crisis: "Therefore, if you want to develop this gold-rich vein in the Luzon Islands, you will inevitably have to deal with the other party. ”

"This time, I will gather you here, in addition to sharing this wealth with you, I also hope to be able to discuss with you how to face this problem in front of you."

"Since this gold mine was discovered by Lord Admiral, it is already an honor for us to be able to share it with all of us, and as for how to face the Great Buddha Lang Man, we are the only ones who can look forward to it!" Xu Haibin came to Keelung Town to discuss the booking of ships with Li Tianyang a few days ago, and he already had a request for Hongmen, but this time he got Li Tianyang's seemingly selfless sharing, and at this moment, he couldn't help but stand on the same front with Hongmen.

"Proprietor Xu is very right, we are all arranged by the Admiral, and if you want me to help, you only need to say a word." Other representatives have a brain teaser and think clearly, to be honest, whether it is a real knife and a gun against the big Buddha Lang machine, or a simple and clear showdown with the big Buddha Lang machine, the only one who can be the leader can only be the Hongmen Li Tianyang team.

At this time, in the territory of the South China Sea, only Hongmen's strength can make the Spaniards awe-inspiring for three points, plus the wild shark who wears a pair of pants with them, then even if the wound really starts a war against the big Buddha Lang man, it is more than eighty percent of the chance of winning.

Therefore, it is only natural that everyone jointly elects the head of Hongmen at this time.

"Thanks to everyone's affordability, let me Li Tianyang is honored, but this time my Hongmen actually has his own suffering!" Li Tianyang was very grateful to you for your recommendation at first, and then quickly said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "The friendship between my Hongmen and Westerners, everyone must also know that before the other party did not turn his face against my Hongmen, my Hongmen, as the army of the Ming Dynasty's sailors, has no reason to crusade against them!" ”

"The purpose of my Hongmen has always been that people do not offend me, I do not offend people, and I have a relationship with Westerners, so this negotiation with the big Buddha Lang machine people needs to be brought forward by the masters and proprietors, and I Hongmen can only be used as a traction."

"Of course, my father's Crazy Shark Gang is not one with my Hongmen, so you can rest assured that in terms of martial affairs, they can send the Wild Shark Elite as a backing!"

Everyone thought that Hongmen would poke out the relationship between the gold mine and the Spaniards, so it also means that Hongmen would lead all the matters of this gold mining, but they did not think that Hongmen would not face the Spaniards in Li Tianyang's unreserved conversation, which made many representatives and proprietors really very surprised.

Without the participation of Hongmen, whether it was to negotiate with the Spaniards or to fight with them, the representatives and proprietors of the various seafarers present here had no confidence in their hearts, because they knew very well that the Spaniards could occupy the throne and their strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, if everyone united, the Spaniards would not be impossible to defeat, but they were born as merchants, so they naturally preferred to make money through harmony rather than to obtain the right to mine gold through armed struggle.

Moreover, if this is really a martial fight, without Hongmen as the main force, everyone still doesn't know how much the price will be paid in order to gain dominance without knowing the true strength of the mad shark.

Compared with the two, many seafarers and business teams who feel that they lack strength or are not focused on Nanyang have begun to retreat and hesitate in their hearts.

Li Tianyang looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, but continued quietly on his face: "You are all businessmen, you definitely don't need to say much about the value of gold mines, but everyone should not just look at gold mines, but take a long-term view, haven't you noticed that there is another source of wealth to be developed in the Luzon Kingdom?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but look up, thinking that Li Tianyang was going to release some earth-shattering information again, but what Li Tianyang said afterwards made everyone pout and disagreed.

"Our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, but everyone must have discovered that the north has been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, and most of the arable land in the south is in the homes of the gentry and landlords. Li Tianyang said deafeningly, this is indeed the situation that the entire environment of the Ming Dynasty has been quietly changing, and the proprietors and shopkeepers of various businesses have actually noticed it.

"The reason for the increase in costs is the increase in the scale of commerce, the maintenance of arable land in the Ming Dynasty, and the increasing labor costs."

"But I wonder if the eldest lady has paid attention to the cost of land and labor in the Luzon Islands?" Li Tianyang clapped his hands, and another team member walked in with a stack of pamphlets and handed the pamphlets to the deputies present: "This is our Hongmen investigation of Luzon's land price and labor price, as well as the fertile layer of the land, as well as the comparison of the same cost survey in the coastal area south of the Yangtze River, and some superficial conclusions, you might as well take a good look at it." ”

When Li Tianyang said this, he stopped his mouth, picked up the teacup on the side of him, and moistened his throat.

The booklet is not large, and the text on it is very concise, but it is extremely detailed, and the fast-eyed proprietors and shopkeepers read it after most of the tea efforts.

However, it is clear that Hongmen's survey is very attractive, and after accurately comparing the costs between Luzon and the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that everyone has suddenly discovered the huge business opportunities involved.

Marx once said that if the capitalist class has 10% profit in a certain commercial activity, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; With a 20% profit, it becomes active; With a 50% profit, it takes risks; For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; With a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even the danger of hanging.

At this time, among the things shown by Hongmen, what the Daming Haike Group saw was not only a mere 10% benefit, but at least half the cost less than the Damin Jiangnan area, and the possibility of obtaining higher benefits, made everyone excited again, plus there was a huge gold vein as a bait, a steady profit and no loss, as long as they were not fools, no one would give up easily.
