When Tang Yi was lecturing in Qiandi, Tiannan and Haibei, he deliberately instilled a lot of Western stories in Zhu Zaiyuan, and at that time, King Yu was idle, but he was listening to strange theories such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But in his mind, there was still an impression, in the face of this good news, Longqing Mao suddenly opened, smiled, he pulled the high arch, to the front of a map, the speed quickly found Luzon, obviously he usually reads.

"Master Gao, this is Luzon Island, in terms of area, no less than Zhejiang Province, there is a lot of land suitable for farming, and there are copper mines, gold mines, more abundant than the whole Ming Dynasty combined, surrounded by the sea, rich in aquatic products, there are all kinds of jewelry on the island, and there are countless good things......"

Long Qing danced and said, Gao Gong heard it for the first time, and he still had the idea of everything in the kingdom in his mind, and he didn't believe that Luzon, a wild land, could be so rich.

Long Qing was also worried, he didn't know how to convince the teacher, and it happened that Feng Bao came over.

"Emperor, when Lord Tang played a sparse game, he also sent a box of treasures by the way."

"Bring it quickly, I want to take a good look!"

Feng Bao trotted down, and after a while, he brought a one-foot-square box, not big, but very heavy, Feng Bao exhaled and panted, and arrived in front of the table, and after unfolding, Gao Gong also looked at it.

As a result, Gao Gong almost screamed, he rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully, the box was full of treasures, needless to mention all kinds of gems, and there was a fist-sized piece of dog's head gold inside, as well as a lot of copper ore.

Next to the box, attached was a note written by Tang Yi himself, and Long Qing took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Tang Yi didn't say anything else, he just introduced that Luzon has a rich copper-gold vein, it is difficult to say how much, taking Yunnan copper as an example, it can produce 150,000 catties a year, which is already a very important copper mine in the Ming Dynasty, and how much copper can Luzon produce?

If it is developed properly, Tang Yi estimates that it can reach 200 million catties per year, which is more than 1,000 times!

Goo!

Long Qing and Gao Gong both swallowed a mouthful of spit, they were sure again and again, for fear that Tang Yi would be joking, Tang Yi also made a careful explanation in the back, this is only copper ore, not including gold.

For example, Tang Yi thought that the Qin State was destroyed, and the monetary reason was that it was annexed to the six countries at once, and the money supply could not keep up, which caused deflation, and the people's lives were seriously affected, so they would die.

As for the Song Dynasty, the word money shortage is frequently seen in historical materials, the so-called Jiaozi, there is no way at all, forced out of the premature baby, who makes the Central Plains lack copper! The high arch is clear about this.

The same is true of the Ming Dynasty, there is a shortage of gold, silver and copper, but fortunately, after the opening of the sea, a large amount of gold and silver poured in, which alleviated the crisis.

However, it is not safe to make money entirely on trade, and if the inflow of silver decreases, will not the world be in chaos? Only by firmly grasping the origin can we be invincible.

Although Gao Gong wanted to say goodbye to Tang Yi in his heart, he couldn't care about major events related to the rise and fall of the country. The robe knelt on the ground, bursting into tears of excitement.

"Congratulations to our emperor, not only to expand the territory, but also to master the copper minerals, the merit of eternity, the godsend! My Emperor, long live, long live, long live! ”

Under the excitement of Gao Gong, he shouted loudly, and the eunuch palace maid didn't know what was going on, so she could only follow, and a large piece of black pressure shook the court.

Long Qing got up from his chair excitedly, his slightly pale little face was bloodshot and flushed.

Since ascending the throne, it has not been a long time, but there has not been a good thing, and Longqing has begun to understand why Jiajing is hiding in Xiyuan and refuses to come out.

Finally kept the clouds open and saw the moon, Tang Yi sent such a big gift package at once, Longqing was about to fly.

is worthy of Master Tang, it is amazing!

"Master Gao, let's all be even."

Pulling up the high arch, Long Qing couldn't hide his excitement, "Go and invite Elder Xu Ge, Elder Guo Ge, and Elder Li Ge over, I want to discuss the matter of Luzon with them." ”

"Yes."

Gao Gong turned around and went down, Long Qing rubbed his hands, ran to the front of the box again, looked at the contents and couldn't put it down. The night pearl the size of a dragon's eye, a pearl the size of a quail egg, is still pink, and it is made into jewelry, how beautiful it should be!

Tang Yi said that Luzon is rich in jewelry, and this time ten boxes of pearls were seized from the Spaniards alone, thinking of this, Longqing was very happy.

"Feng Bao, you go and tell Li Niangniang what kind of jewelry they want, just tell me, give them a pearl to make a dress, I can afford it!"

Feng Bao hurriedly ran out, and the Qianqing Palace was filled with Longqing's proud laughter.

No matter how expensive you are the emperor, you can't straighten your waist if you don't have money.

Tang Yi's gift is really timely......

"My lord, look at this time, how will the imperial court deal with Luzon, will it be directly annexed?" Xu Bangyang said worriedly, there were still several people sitting in the room, they were all representatives of several families, everyone invested in Nanyang Company, and when they saw that Luzon took it and wanted to share the fruit, if they let the court take it away, they couldn't find a tune to cry.

Tang Yi was full of confidence, "At the moment, the imperial court can't come up with money, the Spaniards have defeated, there are still the remnants of Luzon, there are so many natives, and Luzon is densely forested, there are many insects and snakes, how much money is the court ready to spend, how many people will die, in order to develop Luzon?" ”

There is another reason, Tang Yi didn't say it, everyone also knows in their hearts that Bingguo's Xu Jie's style is conservative, and he just wants to manage one acre and three points of land in Daming, and he has no interest in overseas at all.

And even if he nodded, the great merit of annexing Luzon would still fall on Tang Yi's head, and Xu Ge would not make wedding clothes for Tang Yi.

"You can rest assured, the development of Luzon is inseparable from the nod of the imperial court, we have done what we should do, and we will do our best, even if the imperial court wants to repent, we can't say anything."

Xu Bangyang smiled and nodded, "My lord is wise, if you follow your old man, you will have to eat meat and make a fortune!" ”

When he said this, several other people laughed heartily and were very satisfied.

Can you not be satisfied?

Tang Yi forced the big guy to hand over the land and exchanged it for the shares of Nanyang Company, not to mention a dead letter, even if they were holding real money, they were unwilling to hand over the land.

But as the months passed, with the victory in the Battle of Luzon, more and more people smelled money.

Nanyang Company is not an empty shell, but a super golden hen with two large islands, Dongfan and Luzon.

Lin Afeng has already announced that he will transfer the main force to Luzon, and all the 5 million mu of land on Dongfan Island will be sold at a price, and the highest price is only eight yuan per mu, and one or two silver can buy two acres.

One mu of sugarcane, calculated according to the production of 2,000 catties of sugar, deducting labor, transportation, and sales, can earn at least five taels of silver per mu of land, buy two or three hundred acres of land, and work hard for ten years, you can become a rich man with a lot of money.

Of course, this is only a theoretical calculation, in fact, there are meteorological disasters, and you have to bear taxes and miscellaneous expenses, but no matter how you calculate it, you will earn more than being a tenant in the southeast, and it is much more.

As for the major families here, will they send people to reclaim the land, grow sugar cane, and extract sugar to make money?

Obviously not, they only need to control the trade routes, transport the sugar to Daming, and then transport the daily necessities to Dongfan Island, and they can make amazing profits.

As for Luzon, the logic is pretty much the same.

"Just sugar, there is at least three million taels of profit a year, and our family accounts for thirty percent of the shares, which is converted into 900,000 taels, if you count the copper mines and gold mines in Luzon, a year, two or three million taels of profits!" Xu Bangyang laughed and said: "With so much money, I don't know how to spend it!" ”

Loaded with garlic, purely filled with large cloves of garlic, Lu Guangzu teased: "You won't take the money and go to buy the field again, right?" That way, you'll be alive again! ”

In a word, it made everyone laugh.

Xu Bangyang shook his head, "Not only do I not buy land, but I also want to throw out the rest of the industry, praise the silver, recruit troops and horses, strengthen the armament of the Nanyang Company, grab an island, and make so much money, there are so many islands in the Nanyang, why don't you swallow them all." Not only the South Seas, but also India to the west, the Middle East, and Africa, and to the east, and the Americas, are full of fertile and oily treasures. In Daming, occupy a few acres of land, more than a dozen acres of land, you will make a fuss, overseas, all of a sudden to occupy such a big place as Suzhou Mansion, no one cares about you, and fools know how to choose. ”

These words were frequently appreciated by everyone present.

Seeing that they thought it was true, Tang Yi was suddenly very satisfied, and even extremely relieved. What he has always wanted to cultivate is a group of enterprising, unscrupulous, strong and combat-ready emerging power groups for the sake of their goals.

It is no longer by relying on the powerful and kowtowing to the emperor in exchange for a little benefit from charity.

It's a pack of wolves!

After years of accumulation, the fruit has finally borne fruit, and the satisfaction of success is indescribable, perhaps this is the luck of politicians, to be able to experience the happiness that others can never experience.

Maybe it could have been done better, a little bolder.

"The first shot is fired, and the next thing is to immigrate and develop, this is a chore, I think so, allow other families to invest in Nanyang Company, and make money together."

Lu Guangzu was still a little hesitant, and so were several other people, why should we fight the world and let those people pick up cheap, it's unreasonable!

But Xu Bangyang had the fastest brain, "Let's divide the land, they want the land, they will pay for it, our top priority is to get more money, build a bigger ship, when the time is ripe, do a big vote!" ”

"Hahaha, Shao Guogong is heroic!" Lu Guangzu stroked his palms and laughed, "That's it!" ”

When they heard that the Nanyang Company was going to auction off the land of Dongfan Island and Luzon, the merchants of the Southeast were all crazy, and what could be more exciting than land. Those families and businessmen who were originally waiting and watching all came, not only in Jiangnan, but even in Guangzhou, Sichuan, including Henan, Shandong, Tianjin, all who could come came, and the big guys gathered at the headquarters of Nanyang Company, people next to each other, people crowded with people, and it was needless to say that it was lively.

In the crowd, there is also a low-key middle-aged man, who is Xu Jie's second son, Xu Kun! I really didn't expect that even the people of the Xu family were attracted...... (To be continued.) )
