"Ladies and gentlemen," Liu Yu toasted,

"You are all overseas Tang people, and it is really a blessing for Liu to meet on the remote island of Luzon, far away from the royal land," he stood up, raised his wine glass, glanced at the many Chinese businessmen present, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Where,"

"I waited for Chinese businessmen to work hard since they came to Luzon, but they were never recognized by others, whether it was the Francophone people or the local people, they all looked down on me and waited." Su Langqing sighed, then looked at Liu Yu,

"But after Wang Shi arrived in Luzon, the local Shengfan, whether it was the Irok people or the Bangbangya people, treated the Tang people much more kindly, and the local chamber of commerce did not dare to bully the Chinese merchants too much."

Su Langqing said this, and the Chinese businessmen present nodded one after another.

These days, because of the existence of the Ming court, Chinese merchants all over Luzon are frightened day and night, for fear that the Spaniards and Shengfan will use knives against them.

Who would have thought that it would not be long before the Ming army defeated the Spaniards,

This shocked Wigan,

The attitude of the local officials and chambers of commerce towards Chinese businessmen was also much better, especially after the Spaniards fled Vigan.

This made the local Chinese businessmen gradually have a slight affection for the Ming army.

"I don't know what the intention of the local Chinese businessmen in Weigan is invited to come down to the banquet." Liu Yu spoke.

For a while, the whole banquet was quiet in an instant,

Everyone stared at Liu Yu directly.

Liu Yu naturally knew what these Nanyang Chinese businessmen were thinking, but he still wanted to see how these Chinese merchants in Weigan City spoke.

Suddenly, an old man stood up and arched his hand towards Liu Yu.

"Except for a few Chinese businessmen in Luzon who survived the Spanish butcher's knife, most of them have moved to Luzon in the last two or three decades to escape the war." The man was a little old, and looked at Liu Yu indifferently.

"As the so-called royal industry is not partial, Wang Shi and Penghu were defeated by the Qing court, and they fled to Luzon instead of defending Taiwan Island, causing my Luzon Chinese businessmen to fall into the target of public criticism, if the Luzon Chinese businessmen were slaughtered by the Spaniards because of adults, is it worthy of your lordship?" The old man said this and looked at Liu Yu with a resolute face.

"Bold, dare to be so ......" Beside Liu Yu, a personal soldier opened his eyes angrily and was about to draw a knife, but was stopped by Liu Yu.

The old man was not intimidated by this, on the contrary,

He didn't even look at the pro-soldier, his cloudy eyes stared straight at Liu Yu,

Zhao Lao can say that he will tell the grievances of the Chinese businessmen present in one breath,

They didn't dare to say this to Liu Yu, who had military power, but Zhao Lao dared,

Since Zhao Lao is not afraid of death, he has made his words clear, what are he afraid of.

looked at Liu Yu coldly one by one, to see how Liu Yu should end.

Liu Yu was very uncomfortable staring at this look,

Looking back, those eyes were clearly full of mockery and anger.

"Dare to ask Mr. Daming." Liu Yu got up and saluted.

"The old man from Fujian, he and his grandfather have been in Luzon for more than 60 years," the old man flicked his sleeves and looked at Liu Yu who bowed down with disdain.

"Mr. Zhao, whose name is Zhaozhou, has lived in Luzon for a long time, has many properties under his command, originally lives in Manila, and has stayed here in recent days to protect the lives of Chinese merchants in Weigan when he went to Vigan to buy and sell raw silk." Su Langqing explained to Liu Yu.

Seeing that Zhao Lao didn't appreciate it,

Liu Yu's face also sank,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have lived in Luzon for some years, and everyone doesn't know how the Luzon Shengfan and the Spaniards treat the Tang people."

Liu Yu's expression was extremely determined, and he looked at the Chinese merchants and said, "Even if I can't wait to come to Luzon, will the Spaniards let the Chinese merchants in Luzon go?" It has only been more than 20 years since the last time the Spaniards slaughtered the Chinese in Luzon. ”

"If you complain that the Ming Court is implicating you, then you can take a boat to Laoag or Manila, and you will not be hindered." Liu Yu said coldly.

Su Langqing or the Chinese businessmen present were all shocked,

I just wanted to give Liu Yu a dismissal, who would have thought that Liu Yu would be so decisive.

"Okay," Zhao Lao's chest rose and fell violently, and his face was pale.

"Hehe, my lord, I didn't blame Master Wang for my Luzon Chinese businessmen, Zhao Lao's inconsiderate speech annoyed Hou Ye, and invited Hou Ye Haihan." Before, Wang Li, who was introduced to Liu Yu by Su Langqing, got up with a smile and played a round.

The people present were all businessmen, all of them were very ghostly, and when they saw that someone gave them steps, they all echoed it.

Seeing this, Liu Yu also felt that he was a little too aggressive, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine in the glass.

"Elder Zhao, please sit down, we haven't crossed paths, so there's no need to make such a big fuss." Liu Yu stood up and personally picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Zhao Lao.

"Hmph," Zhao Lao snorted coldly,

It wasn't too much, he took the wine glass and drank it all.

As a general of the Ming Army, the young man in front of him can put down his body like this, so why should he worry about the juniors when he is too old.

After the wine was in his stomach, Zhao Lao's anger also disappeared by half,

It was because of the arrival of the Ming army that the Chinese in Luzon once again suffered misfortune and criticism, which made Zhao Lao breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and now that he said it, his anger naturally disappeared.

couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him,

The Hou Ye in front of him is very young, because he is young and vigorous, where has the young man been so angry,

But what he said just now did not anger this person, but on the contrary, he poured himself wine, which made Zhao Lao a little moved.

"Master Hou, you are a general, the old man is a businessman, and they are not that literati, so you don't speak so roundaboutly, if what you say angers Lord Hou, please Haihan." Zhao Lao finally put down his figure.

"However, what the old man said today is still asking Master Hou to understand what he means." He added,

Hearing this, Liu Yu nodded,

"I know what you mean, we are all Tang people, although Wang Shi Nandu implicated the Chinese merchants in Luzon, but today Wang Shi conquered Weigan, then Wang Shi will naturally protect the Chinese merchants of Weigan."

Liu Yu's words seemed to give everyone a reassurance, everyone nodded one after another, and their expressions were no longer as cold as before.

"So since my royal master protects the Weigan Chinese merchants, should the Weigan Chinese merchants do something?" Liu Yu smiled and looked at the businessmen present.

The expressions of these merchants changed slightly, and their hearts trembled,

Is it still here after all?

The reason why Liu Yu was invited was because he felt that this person should be better at talking than his uncle when he was young, but now it seems that the young marquis in front of him is not simple.

Liu Yu put down the wine jug and looked at everyone with a calm face: "Don't misunderstand, the Ming army has no intention of embezzling your property, and the Ming court is not a Spaniard, and will never kill your fellow clan and plunder your property." ”

Liu Yu's words made the businessmen feel a little more at ease, but they were still a little nervous and suspicious.

The Spaniards had already looted the treasures of the Vigan government, and the Ming army at this moment did not take the Vigan merchants to open their swords, and to be honest, they did not believe it very much.

"There is only one condition under that,"
