Xiaotian's play here is much bigger than Xu Hai's, Xu Hai is considered to have a knock with copper, except for the gems sent in the first few months, in addition to copper or copper sent in the later period. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info can't be born hard, it's understandable to see the money.

As everyone knows, there are too many things in this world that are worth more than money. Not to mention anything else, the slave trade alone made Xiao Tian make a lot of money, and Xiao Tian didn't calculate how much silver he had, but it was estimated that it was worth more than Xu Hai's copper.

Of course, this money is not very glorious after all, so it was not reported to the court, and the court naturally knew about it, and did not care, in their minds, this was the reward that Xiaotian deserved.

Working for the public, how can there be any one who doesn't catch some fish. And people can't even count corruption as this, in the final analysis, people are private and public!

In addition, there is nothing else in Luzon, but the forest resources are abundant. These forests, in Xiaotian's view, were naturally very obstructive, seriously delaying his cultivation of sugar cane, tobacco and rubber.

Therefore, except for the rubber tree, palm, and coconut, which seem to be useful trees in the sky, all other natural things have to be cut down. Soil erosion, you say? Environment, you say? That's all decades later, and it's not our own people, Xiaotian doesn't care if you die or not.

These trees are treasures, and more than 7,000 sandalwood trees have been cut down in the sky, and there are countless other giant trees. In later generations, a small piece of small-leaved red sandalwood could be auctioned for a sky-high price, which was certainly not so exaggerated in the Ming Dynasty, but the price was definitely not cheap.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty also had its own trees, but most of them grew in the deep mountains, and it was very inconvenient to transport them down, and there were many small trees and few big trees, so the price of such a large piece of whole material was extremely expensive.

Why did the emperors of all dynasties always spend so much silver when they built palaces? In fact, most of this silver was used to transport these large logs, because the palace was built so large that only particularly thick wood could be used as pillars. The emperor usually has special things, and he has to ask for a sandalwood or something, so the natural cost is relatively large.

Don't look at Xiaotian's transportation from Nanyang seems to be farther than Yunnan, but in fact, the transportation cost is much lower. Xiaotian walked by sea, tied the pieces of wood together, and dragged them by boat, so that he could transport more than a dozen at a time.

Xiao Tian cut down all the valuable wood in Luzon in one go, and the worthless ones were simply burned, and these woods were transported back to Daming to make a living man-made house and a coffin for the dead, in short, it was infinitely useful, and it was all handed over to the imperial court, not only was it a large amount of silver into the account, but Jiajing's wish to repair the Wanshou Palace for many years could finally be realized, which was also a beautiful sycophant shot by Xiaotian!

In addition, Xiao Tian also occupied the gold mines in Luzon. Also currency, this gold is much more valuable than brass. When the boatloads of gold arrived in the capital, the onlookers were all crazy.

Jiajing has been the emperor for more than 40 years, and he has always demolished the east wall to make up the west wall, and now he is also rich, and he has distributed all the money he owes in one go.

Xiao Tianyun went back with all this gold, not just to enrich the treasury. The most important thing is that he needs to use this gold to seduce Daming to the sea, and so far it is relatively successful.

The Nanzhili Longjiang Shipyard, which has been hidden in the court and Xiaotian has been thinking about for a long time, has restarted. Shipbuilding is a thing that costs money like flowing water, before Xiaotian tried all kinds of ways, how to beg, these bigwigs refused to agree to let Longjiang Shipyard resume work, in the final analysis, they were unwilling to put the silver into the sea.

Now Xiaotian has shown with his actions that although the shipbuilding thing costs a lot of silver, it earns more, and it is still silver in the sea, but what can be earned back is special gold. In addition, the large amount of timber he brought back from Luzon also saved the cost of shipbuilding, which undoubtedly made the cabinet much happier.

This gang of bigwigs took the initiative this time, before Xiaotian also said to buy a boat, this time simply sent it directly, the cabinet scholars unanimously said, in the future, this shipyard will be opened by your family, day and day to start working, the boat built is for you to keep, send someone to show your identity and let you drive away, not a copper plate to pay.

And that's not all, the most important thing is that the sea breeze has been successfully blown to the folks. I don't know who started it, but rumors that Luzon was full of gold were spread everywhere in the two capitals and 13 provinces, and for a time a wave of gold panning for Luzon was set off, and the fiery level caught up with the San Francisco gold rush in the future.

In addition, Fuzhou/Zhou Wuhumen Shipyard has also reopened, different from Longjiang Shipyard, Wuhu Shipyard is a large ship and small boats, all of which are civilian ships, there is no gun carriage on it, and it is not particularly strong, but the empty hull has a big belly, which is specially used to load goods, and the sea breeze is blowing so much, countless people see the opportunity in Xiaotian, and they have spent a lot of money to buy ships, trying to eat a mouthful of hot soup behind Xiaotian.

This is what Xiaotian wants most, a single filament does not form a thread, a lonely tree does not become a forest, even if he is covered in iron by himself, how many nails can he make? Only when more and more people of the Ming Dynasty set their sights on the sea will Xiaotian's power continue to grow, and the grand blueprint in his heart will be realized.

Xiao Tian secretly decided in his heart that this first batch of followers who went to the sea would let them make money no matter what, so as to set a good example for future generations.

Everyone stepped on gold, of course it couldn't. If you can't find gold, you can follow Xiaotian to do business. If the business is not good, you can also colonize with Xiaotian. Even if it is really impossible to touch it, Xiaotian can also give him two slaves and let him be a small landlord.

To this point, Xiaotian thinks that he has done his best. The eight words that the old man gave at the beginning, "the upper and lower are not worthy of the king", he has already done it, and far exceeded, to say something that is not self-modest, Xiaotian thinks that with his merits, he can almost leave a name in history and be famous for eternity. However, his own private affairs were a mess.

Calculate the days Xiaotian went to sea this time, and more than half a year has passed, when he left, Yanjing City had just had a light snow, and now it is another year of autumn, it seems that he was born to work hard. In the past three Spring Festivals, only last year was spent at home with my father. is obviously a newlywed Yan'er, but he left his wife for more than half a year, and Lu Rui must have thought about himself!

Speaking from the heart, I have been staying with these rough old men all day for most of the past six months, and Xiaotian also misses the two wives at home very much. Although there is no shortage of foreign meat on female slaves in Luzon, there is no physiological need, but the longing in this heart can't be stopped.

Seeing that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is said that every festival is more than homesick. In the past few days, Xiao Tian's heart has been like grass has grown, and he can't calm down no matter what. How beautiful the slave girl is not in the mood to touch it, I can't wait to throw this big mess down and sail back, say goodbye to my father, and then have a good time with the two wives.

This thought flashed through his mind countless times, but each time it was just a flash, he still had important things to do in Luzon, and this big thing could not be less controllable than he could in any case. Therefore, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back no matter what. Even, whether you can go back for the New Year is still a matter of words. (To be continued.) )
