Chapter 41 The Luzon Company

Get the stolen money, hey, it's not right, after the war dividends, waiting for Song Haiping and the four governors is also the rule of Luzon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOriginally, everyone said that the family was half, this is because the four Zeng Li Hu Zuo didn't care too much about the ruling power of Luzon, but after a battle, after his subordinates described the wealth of Luzon and the large amount of silver shipped back, the four Han governors changed their minds - even if their own looting methods are not as good as the Spaniards here before, such a rich area can scrape a lot of oil and water, not to mention that the Japanese say that there is at least a large copper mine here.

In the past, there were big mines and they were afraid that no one would come to mine them, but now more than 100,000 laborers are eating rice in prisoner of war camps, and with these hundreds of thousands of almost free strong laborers, no mines can be opened without making money.

If the currency of Europe at this time was a composite standard of gold and silver, the currency of China and even Southeast Asian countries was a composite standard of silver and copper, and the pre-Qin era was made of copper as gold - it was the Bronze Age at that time, and the bronze tripod or bronze kettle was used for cooking, and the metal parts of weapons, agricultural tools, mirrors, and vehicles and ships were all made of bronze, and even musical instruments and sacrificial vessels were made of bronze.

Since copper is a secondary currency in social circulation, it is money, and although its value is not as good as silver, it is impossible for all transactions to be completed in silver. If you take a few silver dollars to settle the bill for a meal, you must have eaten the delicacies of the mountains and the sea -- now you can buy 50 pieces of meat buns on the street for one silver dollar.

The two sides struggled for a while over the issue of the right to rule, and originally Song Haiping wanted to divide Luzon into five provinces, half of which he would administer and the other half into four provinces and divide them into four governors. But the result was that the four governors decided that Song Haiping would definitely allocate the Luzon copper mine to himself, which was of course true Song Haiping thought so, so the four governors resolutely opposed it.

Song Haiping thought about it for a while, and decided to jointly develop Luzon, and proposed to establish a Luzon company modeled after the Heshun Company and the Lanfang Company (the predecessor of the Republic of Lanfang in Borneo) in Nanyang, with nine executive committee members, of which Song Haiping sent four Japanese puppets, one of the four governors sent one person, one local Chinese leader, and those who were undecided in the company would obey the majority with one person, one vote, one minority.

This proposal is considered fair by the four governors, you see that there are five of us Chinese who have four seats for them in Japan. For Song Haiping, the four Japanese are their own echo worms, not to mention that the four governors are not of the same heart, and there are local Chinese who can be co-opted.

There are 10,000 local Chinese households in Luzon, which can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is really into the foreign religion, and the other is forced to enter the foreign religion -- in this era, there are a large number of missionaries in Spain and France, you don't believe that he really kills people, if a person dies, it is nothing, but many people who go to the South Seas are dragging their families with their mouths, and they can't die for the sake of worshipping any god.

Chinese are no more ancient than Jews, and it is the fastest to change the foyer in front of their faith - that is really to see the Buddha burning incense, to the green diocese to believe in the green religion, to the foreign diocese to believe in the foreign religion, and later once joined the horse religion and the horse religion reserve throughout the country.

The Sino-Japanese coalition uprooted the old Spanish rulers in more than 40 days, and those who really believed in foreign religion naturally wanted to occupy churches and slaughter priests (think of that Marai in Guangxi to know who the colonial priests were these years, and it can be said that there were no unjust, false and wrongful convictions for killing them all, not to mention that the massacre of the Chinese in Luzon several times in history was used as a vanguard), the maid who insulted God (there were so many Hunan troops in Luzon at once, how could they not let the family fight for a few years, no, the local women are black and ugly, The new rulers did not have a good feeling, but they did not dare to raise troops to resist, and they were nothing more than learning from Gandhi's methods of dealing with the British colonists, non-violent and non-cooperative.

Another group of Chinese, who believe in foreign religion and have not forgotten their ancestors, saw that the sky had changed in Luzon now, so they tried to give gifts first and put them on the line.

Song Haiping found Li Mingsheng, the most generous gift, took out this name and asked the four Governor-General The members of the Luzon Committee are: Zeng Jize, Li Jingfang, Zuo Xiaoyu (Zuo Zongtang's eldest daughter), Hu Duanyi (Hu Linyi's only daughter).

It can be said that this lineup is very luxurious, the eldest son or eldest daughter of the four governors are here, and it is indeed inconvenient for women to go out to do things in the country, but now in Luzon, there is no Mr. Taoist to say anything, most of the rice growers in Nanyang are women, and women are not called things in Luzon - in later generations, Luzon was famous for exporting female international domestic workers.

The four committee members discussed it and agreed to the proposal, and it seems that the gifts from Li Mingsheng have been delivered. All the personnel were in order, and on April 1, 1859, three months after the declaration of war on Spain, the Luzon Company was officially established.
