Chapter 345: The Motherland Loves You

Li Xihan and Li Ximing, who were rescued in Japan last time, may have been the happiest during this time, because they were allowed to go home to find their relatives, and if their families were willing to follow them back to Daming to live, the Huang family would take them all with them when they returned. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Who wouldn't? Li Xihan and the others not only returned to their hometowns in fine clothes, but also brought their families with them. The relatives all thought that they had died a long time ago, and that the family had lost a strong laborer who could earn a lot of money, and the already poor family situation would naturally deteriorate.

Who knew that joy fell from the sky, and the man who went to sea returned home, dressed brightly and radiant. A few of them also became military attaches of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, these Filipino Han people didn't know that most of them were just small flag officers of the Ming army, that is, a small soldier, not a military attaché.

Overseas Han people who don't want to return to the motherland at dusk! And this Motherland is a powerful existence.

No one here asks, you love the motherland, but does your country love you?

But Huang Sheng can answer this question, love, the motherland loves every people. Of course, there must be a premise for this, and it is necessary to wait for Huang Sheng to be the master of the motherland. Now I can only loudly announce that the Huang family loves every person who is willing to serve the Huang family.

After trading in Manila Port for five days, Huang Sheng did not do anything specific, but held a Chinese and Western cocktail party every day on the Liaodong to entertain the big businessmen who did business here.

One is to show off their muscles, let them see what is called a strong ship and a sharp cannon, and it is better to be more leisurely with some friction with Daming in the future.

The second is to show the degree of civilization, music, singing and dancing, food, and the beautiful Han costumes make Xiyi breathtaking.

The third is to let Xiyi know that the Ming Dynasty can embrace all rivers, because the ballroom dances popular in the European court will see different interpretations here.

These Westerners saw that the musicians of the Ming Dynasty actually used Western instruments in their hands, and the performance level was impeccable, and they all obeyed them one by one.

At first, the Spanish governor did not dare to come to the Ming flagship to participate in the reception, but after listening to the introductions of many businessmen and officials who participated in the reception, he decided to take his wife to visit.

He knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew that the civilization level of the Ming Dynasty might be higher than that of Spain, so he was not worried that the Ming Dynasty would kidnap him without declaring war.

In a friendly atmosphere, the governor was shocked by the erudition of the young man of Daming, and he was also impressed by Daming's confident mind.

Because this adult not only does not reject Catholicism, but also understands doctrine, and reveals that Catholicism can go to Daming to develop believers, missionaries can live in Daming for a long time, and can build magnificent churches.

All the Christians who came here for the reception were in high spirits, and these Christians were very excited to be able to preach to a country of more than 100 million people.

They came one after another to express their heartfelt thanks to Lord Huang, and may the Lord bless Lord Huang and bless Daming.

Huang Shengcai is not worried that the Ming people believe in Catholicism, and history has proved that in fact, the Chinese do not believe in anything, and the Buddha does not believe in it, but it is used for entertainment, as can be seen by looking at the Journey to the West in the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Sheng deeply believes that Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and so on are all orthodox religions that have been accumulated for thousands of years, and that it is a good choice for people to voluntarily believe in religion.

The Spanish governor said on the spot that he would ask the church to send a large number of missionaries to Daming to preach, and consider building several cathedrals, and asked Lord Huang to give convenience, and he also said that he would cooperate with Daming to jointly maintain the safety of the shipping route in the future, and if necessary, he could jointly send troops to eliminate pirates.

This is completely possible, Huang Sheng promised on the spot that the Spaniards could go to Huangjiawan Island and Daishan Island to build cathedrals first, and if they were grand enough, they would consider developing in the interior, and as for cracking down on piracy, of course, the consensus of the two countries could be considered.

Huang Sheng is deceiving the Spaniards to leave the landscape in his own territory, and many Westerners coming here to settle and work will increase the prosperity of several islands, so why not?

Huang Sheng also made a small request, and the Spanish governor promised to do so on the spot, and later the Ming fleet came to Manila Port to guarantee that it could buy back at least 300,000 stone of rice and corn.

Li Xihan and Li Ximing also completed the task assigned by the head of the family, not only collected the seeds of many crops, but also found people who knew how to plant.

They recorded the planting methods one by one and prepared to take them back to Huangjiawan Island School to study the students studying agriculture, and many of their family members also farmed, and of course they would do demonstrations when they arrived on Huangjiawan Island.

Manila has been colonized by Spain for nearly a year, and many crops native to South America have been widely cultivated here, and the Huang family has obtained too many varieties of corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, several times more than the existing varieties in the Ming Dynasty.

The Daming fleet returned, and the port of Manila was crowded, and many overseas Chinese and Westerners came to see them off.

The Spanish governor saw that the Ming Dynasty was able to drive so many warships to Manila, and his attitude towards overseas Chinese was certainly much more correct, and it will be even more correct in the future.

Because dozens of missionaries had already boarded the Ming warship to open up new dioceses, if he had any discrimination against overseas Chinese, the Spanish missionaries on Huangjiawan Island and Daishan Island mentioned by Huang Daren would be in danger.

Overseas Chinese waved the dragon flag and bid farewell to the powerful sailors of the motherland with tears in their eyes, and everyone felt proud at this moment, and they learned that such a team would come here every year after learning about it, and they cheered one by one.

On the return voyage, the restless Hoang Da ran with a combined fleet to Pheu Phuoc, a commercial port established by Portuguese merchants under the de facto control of the government of Quang Nam established by Nguyen Phuc Nguyen of the Annam Dynasty, to demand trade.

It is a great luck that such a large fleet does not come to rob, and the monarch of this small country is also a powerful minister of the Lê Dynasty of the Great Viet Kingdom, where does Nguyen Phuc Yuan dare to meet each other.

The Huang family's business delegation was warmly welcomed by Western businessmen, led by Portuguese businessmen, because it was the gold lord who came!

The Huang family no longer has any goods to sell, but spends real money to buy the goods here.

Because Huang Sheng considered that the fleet only loaded less than one-third of the cargo, it was not cost-effective, and considering that the Mekong Delta is a rice-producing area, and the Ming Fujian is in a famine, it will soon become more and more intense.

There was no food to talk about relief, so Huang Sheng came with a fleet to Feifu Port to buy rice. There is no merchant who does not like to spend money to buy things, so he naturally accompanies and serves carefully one by one.

Huang Sheng bought 20,000 stone of sugar, 300,000 stone of rice, the price of rice in Annam, the Huang family only gave four dollars and five cents of silver per stone, and the merchants of Annam accepted it happily, this is the birthplace of rice, the yield of three crops a year is very high, so the price is cheap.

But I can't buy more rice, and I don't have such reserves, so I can only finalize the contract and come back next year to get the goods.

The hundreds of thousands of pounds of copper ingots in the hands of the Portuguese were also purchased at the price of Manila City, and the Portuguese here sincerely welcomed the arrival of the huge fleet of ships of the Ming Dynasty for trade, and the two sides began trade negotiations.

The route was not smooth, and the Portuguese here were too eager to get silk, tea, porcelain, cloth and other Ming goods, but unfortunately this time the Ming goods were sold to the Spaniards.

They did not want to be marginalized, and they exchanged more than the Spaniards for the goods of the Ming Dynasty with cotton, copper, cane sugar and other materials, and used gold to settle if they did not have enough things.

This is entirely possible, and the third trade agreement, the Treaty of Fifoy, was signed again, and the other side was the Portuguese.
