Chapter 168: Sweetness

In fact, Luzon's territory is not small, and its population is not small. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is for Xiaotian or for Spain, this is a behemoth.

However, there is no unified government here, and his manpower cannot be organized. When the Spaniards came before, there were still some big princes who could resist. Now that the Spaniards have been beaten away, the slightly larger regime has not yet had time to be established, and the little day has come.

After the baptism of the Spaniards, the remaining so-called big chiefs were not enough to fight for them in a pitiful way. In less than three months, the so-called regimes of all sizes on Luzon Island have been uprooted by Xiaotian.

This fully proves how important it is to have a strong centralized court!

At this point, Xiao Tian's battle in the real sense of the South Seas this time has been completed, and all that remains is to catch the monkey slowly. Xiao Tian also began to plan his plan for the plundering of Luzon.

Xiao Tian let his men divide their own territories into small units, each fighting their own, little by little, piece by piece, scattered to eat away at the entire Luzon.

Xiao Tian thought to himself, with the national strength of my Ming Dynasty, if he could also sail like Spain, why did he draw that line? Directly occupied Luzon.

Therefore, the most important thing for this trip to Luzon is to let Daming taste the sweetness and let Daming learn to ask for it from the ocean. I don't expect Daming to be able to participate in the whole people like Spain, even if only one-tenth of the people participate, Xiaotian will dare to conquer the world.

If that day comes, Xiaotian's status in Daming will inevitably rise. Of course, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step, Xiaotian believes that under his guidance, Daming may not be too far to achieve this day.

Xiao Tian thinks that he is still a noble person, although he is a little cruel to foreign races, but he still has the people of the world in his heart. In Xiaotian's heart, money no longer has any meaning, although he does these things with a certain amount of selfishness, it is also to obtain greater political power. But isn't the purpose of obtaining greater rights and interests also for the benefit of the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Regardless of whether others think so or not, anyway, Xiaotian himself believes in this reason, and he doesn't mind seeing himself as a saint because of his shamelessness.

In Confucianism, the highest state of life is to continue learning for the sake of the saints and to open peace for all generations. Xiao Tian thinks that everything he does is for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and Wan Shi may exaggerate a little, but Xiao Tian feels that he can still do it if he has a peace in the tenth and twentieth generations.

In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to constantly tie the chariot of the imperial court to oneself. Therefore, he doesn't mind giving the court more sweetness, how big is Xiaotian's harvest from going to Nanyang this time?

I'm afraid that even Xiaotian himself can't answer this question, and it took Xiaotian nearly half a year to completely encroach on Luzon. During this half-year, Xiao Tian's plan was perfectly executed, and in addition to rubber and sugar cane, Xiao Tian also planted a large amount of tobacco on the island.

It's been three and a half years since Xiaotian crossed over, and the most difficult thing for him to accept is that there is no smoke in this world.

As an old smoker, the feeling of not smoking for three and a half years is too uncomfortable, so when Luzon discovered tobacco, not to mention how happy he was.

It is said that this thing was first discovered in the Americas, and I think it was brought by the Spaniards! Xiaotian has already reached the stage where he can be rich and capricious. Even if it was just for his own addiction to cigarettes, Xiao Tian decided to plant this thing.

It's not fun to smoke by yourself! Therefore, Xiao Tian decided to spread this thing and poison the world.

Although no one knows what this thing is for, out of blind worship of Xiaotian, let alone planting this thing that I don't know what it is, even if he says that planting can make a fortune, these people will not hesitate to plant it.

In addition, if cash crops want to become actual profits, they are naturally inseparable from the two parts of rough processing and fine processing, which requires the vigorous development of industry. In one go, more than 200 workshops were established in Luzon and Danmasek. Among them, there are many large factories that have invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

In addition, there is actually another very important reason why Xiaotian chose Luzon, that is, it is rich in minerals.

Luzon is a region rich in mineral resources, and in later generations, such a large projectile of the land had the third largest gold reserves in the world. If you want to pull Daming into your chariot, you can only rely on the interests of Chiguoguo to seduce, is there anything more direct and straightforward than a gold mine?

In the past six months, even Xiaotian didn't know how many things he had shipped back to Daming. Of his own team, less than one-third of them are still stationed in Luzon. More than 50,000 people and 300 large ships became transport captains, and traveled back and forth between Luzon and Daming day and night. Countless treasures were transported back, and countless things needed by the little heavens were transported.

The jewels that Xu Hai looted in the Sriwijaya area alone were enough to fill more than a dozen large ships. Xiao Tian never thought that this thing was of any use, and gave all these jewels to the Treasure Bureau very openly, making Emperor Jiajing so happy that he couldn't find the north.

In addition to jewelry, other things that were shipped back to Daming are even more remarkable. Xu Hai simply laid several copper mines in the Sriwijaya area, although Xiaotian agreed to settle accounts with them according to the price of copper coins, but Xu Hai and Ma Ye asked for copper coins It is useless, not to mention that there is no place for them to buy things in these Sriwijayasya, even if they have no habit of paying!

Therefore, in addition to exchanging some daily necessities, Xu Hai converted all the copper into successful results and presented them to the imperial court. These two people are still making up for their mistakes, and even going one step further to be crowned a marquis like Xiaotian.

In fact, when Xiao Tian transported that batch of grain back half a year ago, the bigwigs in the imperial court were already content. The war is already earned like this, I heard that this kid also surrendered Xu Hai by the way, except for some rotten people choking a few words, these bigwigs were stunned and didn't squeak. These people have been playing politics all their lives, and they naturally won't be unexpected.

Since Xu Hai agreed to Zhao'an, his life will not be long. But seriously, after Xu Hai's death, I'm afraid those forces will be taken over by this kid again. This kid is getting more and more powerful now, and the court can't control him, and now he has nearly 100,000 people, and this kid alone can't wait to have more money than the entire treasury, if he is co-opting Xu Hai's subordinates, is it too powerful.
