For the surrendered Japanese army, the Ming Dynasty only needed a thousand.

This was used to sacrifice prisoners to the Wanli Emperor, and they were not interested in the rest.

North Korea intended to leave all the 100,000 Japanese troops behind, and they suffered extremely heavy losses in this war, and the government and the opposition hated them so much that they wanted to kill them all.

And Yan Shiyi's eyes lit up after learning about this situation.

Don't throw away the captured captives, I have a usage of my own.

Kill them all, it's a waste.

He immediately approached the king of Joseon, Yi Hao, and negotiated with him.

And Li Hao, when he thought that the weapons that the other party supported him were so advanced, even surpassing the Celestial Empire, he didn't dare to offend them, so the two sides reached an agreement that all the weapons of the Japanese army would be left to North Korea, and the 100,000 Japanese troops would be handed over to them to deal with.

Everyone was happy.

The Japanese army has no artillery, but the bird gun is actually quite good, and the armor is also very elite, so Li Hao is also quite satisfied, he has seen the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and he is naturally very yearning, not as good as the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow, at least he can't pull his hips like this, right?

Of course, he seems to have forgotten that no matter how good a weapon is, someone needs to use it, and if you give them space-based weapons for the combat effectiveness of the Korean army, you may be able to miss it......

And Yan Shiyi wanted to take these prisoners of the Japanese army, not for charity. At least for the current Luzon, these manpower are more important than the equipment of the Japanese army, and they can't look down on it anyway, and they will melt and reforge it.

Under the guidance of Yan Ling, he already knew that Japan was extremely rich in minerals, and he had always coveted it, and now he finally got the opportunity, and many mines have begun to be built, and it is the time to employ people.

And even if you don't count the Japanese mines, many of those places in the South Seas are also rich in resources, and some jungles also need to be developed by manpower, arsenals, shipyards, almost everywhere need people, these free labor, and even do not need to follow the work laws formulated by the Luzon government, they can work directly from day to night and do not pay wages, which everyone wants!

With this wave of manpower enrichment, I want to be more helpful to the development of Luzon.

When Yan Shiyi thought of this, she almost burst into laughter.

And Yan Zichong, who contributed to all this, also made great contributions, and was promoted from Shilang to Shangshu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, fully responsible for foreign-related affairs.

Don't underestimate this position, the Luzon Governor's Palace, located in the South Seas, had a lot of contacts with the West in this magnificent Age of Discovery.

In fact, they have already met many businessmen and even envoys from abroad.

The British, for example, had sought an alliance with them in the East.

Britain lost John Hawkins, and it was no small blow for them.

John Hawkins's modified galleon Galen was greatly improved in agility and firepower, so much so that it crushed the Armada with the Karak galleon as the main force in the naval battle with Spain, which became one of the important factors in winning the battle.

However, after the loss of Hawkins, Britain was not in a slump, but in the subsequent Battle of Gravoline, it only fought a draw with the Armada, and naturally did not force them to go north and encounter another storm that led to the annihilation of the whole army, Spain still firmly controlled the situation at sea, and the situation in Europe changed greatly.

And Britain did not give up, at this time they were in the embryonic period of capitalism, and light industry also had a certain development, it was the time when overseas markets were needed, they used pirate tactics to sneak attack a large number of Spanish merchant ships, and Spain was not to be outdone, repeatedly dispatched, launched an attack on the British fleet, and the two sides fought in full swing.

At that time, Europe was intricately formed, and all countries were looking for allies, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

And because of the Portuguese fiasco, the Viceroyalty of Luzon in the East came into the eyes of European countries.

Especially at that time, Spain and Portugal occupied the majority of overseas colonization, and the only place they had not set foot in was the mysterious East, and as an important part of entering the East, the relationship with the Governor's Palace of Luzon could not be ignored.

At this time, the "China fever" set off in Europe added fuel to all this.

By this time, Chinese culture had been introduced to Europe, and was greatly admired by European philosophical thinkers, who relished the ideas of Confucius, and some of the ideas of Confucianism were indeed suitable for governing the country, so the kings gradually accepted those ideas.

It was at this time that the Portuguese god of war was defeated in the East, and many merchants made great money in peaceful trade, so a wealthy, powerful, and ceremonial kingdom was established in the hearts of Europeans.

They began to be madly obsessed with things from the East, from the upper classes to the people, and they all made it fashionable to use Chinese utensils.

As the governor of Luzon, Yan Shiyi naturally did not let go of this excellent opportunity to collect money, and seeing that Europe was so obsessed with things from the East, he immediately produced a large number of objects that belonged to the East.

For example, porcelain, he specially set up a porcelain factory and sold it in large quantities.

However, even with such a scale of external sales, these things were still in short supply in the West, and the Governor's Palace of Luzon made a lot of money.

There is also tea, Yan Shiyi was actually a little puzzled when he learned that Yan Ling ordered him to sell these teas to the West.

"Tea is an object that needs to be savored, and those people can taste it? They seem to be more alcoholic. ”

Yan Shiyi said puzzled.

"The people you see are all sailors who came to the East, and even if there are high-class people, they are mainly generals, and don't you see that people in the military are also generally fond of drinking?" Yan Ling chuckled lightly and pointed at him:

"The Yi people like to socialize, their nobles often hold some afternoon tea parties and the like, much more often than us, if you drink, it is easy to get drunk, and it is easy to smell on your body, will those noble women like it? Will those who call themselves gentlemen like it? ”

"You mean......" Yan Shiyi seemed to understand.

"Pick some good tea packs...... Bring a fancy tea set and make up some stories to make it mysterious and capture the appetite of those people. Yan Ling smiled lightly, he was too familiar with the marketing routines of his previous life.

At this time, coffee had not yet been introduced to Europe in large quantities, so it was just the first time that tea would occupy this position.

"It's better to find one or two more heavyweights to endorse and set this precedent...... As for who to look for, who would not want to be rich? When the tea sells, I promise that you can earn back hundreds or thousands of times. ”

"As for the price...... It's good to multiply it fifty times. ”

"Fifty times ???" Yan Shiyi was a little silent, the average good tea costs about three taels a catty, if it is fifty times more......

Yan Ling smiled and said nonchalantly:

"You're selling it cheaply, and those nobles aren't willing to drink it."
