Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 524, Crescent City
At this time, not only Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang saw the huge potential here in Manila and the huge wealth hidden here, but others also saw the richness of the Nanyang region with red eyes.

They are also similar to the two of them. Behind these people are all from various commercial firms in the Ming Dynasty. Behind the commercial firms are the people at the top of the Ming Dynasty, princes and ministers of the imperial court, big families from all over the world, great gentry, big businessmen, etc. .

The purpose of coming to Nanyang is to make money, the purpose is very simple~
Seeing such a huge amount of wealth displayed now, let me tell you bluntly that the Nanyang region is very rich, and there is plenty of wealth, as long as you follow the Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd., you will be well fed in the future.

There are many benefits to occupying Manila. Everyone hastened to retire and go back to tell the people behind them to send more people here to take root here in Manila and lay the foundation for making big money in the future.

This is what Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong wanted.

Relying on the strength of the Tianjin Ocean Trading Company is always too small. The most important thing is to rely on interests to drive more people to participate in overseas expansion and colonization, so as to drive the entire Ming Dynasty to expand outward.

Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong looked at the bustling scene in the castle and the red eyes of these people, and immediately smiled happily.

"Mr. Liu's method is still easy to use, simple, direct and effective~"

"It's still the same old saying, the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit, and the world's prosperity is for profit. There is always a word of profit that cannot be escaped."

Du Mingen said with some sighs: "Now a fleet from Tianjin is about to go to the Golden Continent. I hope they can all make a fortune, so that more people will go to the Golden Continent."

"Golden Continent is just like Nanyang. It is a good place. The land is sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and there are countless treasures. It is a gift from God to Daming."

Du Mingen sighed very much. He used to do business in Daming, and always felt that Daming was the best in the world. After he really went out for a walk, he would find that the world is very big and there are many good places.

"Master Hou, look at this Manila Bay, does it look like a crescent moon?"

Lin Shuhong smiled, and turned his gaze to the entire Manila Bay area. The entire harbor is very large and beautiful, with blue water and a crescent-shaped structure. When standing on the top of the castle and looking over it, the scenery is extremely beautiful.

"It is indeed a crescent moon, very beautiful~"

Du Mingen nodded and said.

"The name of Manila is very unpleasant, and it doesn't conform to the habits of our Daming people. How about changing its name to Crescent Bay?"

"In the future, the city we will build here will be called Crescent City~"

Habitually, the first thing to do is to change the name. The original name is too ugly and a mouthful, so it must be changed to a name that fits Daming.

"Crescent City?"

"Crescent Bay?"

"It's a good name, it's full of poetic charm, and it fits well here, so that's the name~"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately nodded.

When I went to Huangjinzhou, they gave names to many places, such as Yuxi, Qianhekou, Sanjiangkou, etc. When it came to naming, everyone got excited. This is a famous place in history. In the future, the Crescent City will be established. Now, everyone will remember that Lin Shuhong and Du Mingen were the ones who named this place.

As for the original name of Manila, it is not important anymore, this place belongs to Daming now.

Soon, Du Mingen officially announced a series of news to everyone.

The first one is that Manila Bay was renamed Crescent Bay, where Tianjin Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. will build a Crescent City modeled on Ryukyu City.

Crescent City welcomes investment from major domestic commercial firms and individuals in Daming, and welcomes immigrant Ming to Crescent City. All Daming people who are willing to immigrate to Crescent City will permanently obtain [-] acres of land.

The second is to declare that Crescent City will belong to Daming from now on, and the land within [-] kilometers around Crescent City will belong to Daming, as a punishment for Luzon.

The third clause is to declare that the local natives of the Luzon Kingdom within [-] kilometers around the Crescent City will become the probationary citizens of the Ming Dynasty and can enjoy the protection of the Ming Dynasty, but they must pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty and perform corvee service on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

If you don't want to become a second-class citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you must leave within [-] kilometers of Crescent City within seven days, otherwise it will be regarded as a violation of the Ming Dynasty and will be punished by the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth article is to announce that the local aborigines must leave the [-]-mile range of Crescent Castle, and they are not allowed to enter this range without permission, and they must move within seven days.

Article [-] declares that Ming enjoys mining rights to all areas on Luzon Island, and all Ming people can freely explore and mine in Luzon.

Of all the minerals explored, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty accounted for [-]%, the court of Ming Dynasty accounted for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% belonged to the discoverers and miners.

The news released by Du Mingen spread instantly in Crescent Bay, causing a huge commotion.

The Ming people who came here were naturally elated and ecstatic. This is simply the sound of nature, especially the fifth article, which allows the people of Ming Dynasty to freely explore and mine in the entire Luzon. This is definitely super heavy good news.

We must know that Luzon is rich in gold and silver, and the boxes and boxes of gold looted from the castle can tell how high the gold production here is.

There are many large and small gold mines on Luzon Island, and now they are allowed to explore and mine freely, which is tantamount to encouraging everyone to come to Luzon.

In Daming, almost all the minerals belonged to the Ming court, especially the gold mines and silver mines, which belonged to the royal family, and no one dared to mine them privately. If they were found out, they would destroy the whole family.

Of course, there are no gold mines in Daming, and the gold mines with gold have been mined long ago. There are still some silver mines, but the output is already very low.

Now the biggest mining in Daming is coal. If you have a mine containing coal in the Beijing-Tianjin area, you will definitely get rich.

Now, Du Mingen directly announced that everyone is allowed to come to Luzon to explore and mine freely. This is absolutely crazy, even though the prospectors and miners only accounted for [-]%, most of them were taken away by the emperor and the court.

But everyone thinks this is a matter of course. Without the protection of the emperor and the court, they dare to come here for prospecting and mining?
Paying the big head is equivalent to having protection. Others will not dare to rob you even if they are jealous, not to mention that this is the Luzon Kingdom, and there are many indigenous people.

In addition to allowing the excitement of prospecting and mining, everyone also feels very proud.

The things Du Mingen released were very domineering. Although King Lagan and many princes and ministers of the Luzon Kingdom were killed, the Luzon Kingdom was not destroyed after all.

Du Mingen directly and very domineeringly declared that this place belonged to Daming, and declared that all within a hundred kilometers around belonged to Daming. This did not put Luzon in his eyes at all, nor did he ask about Luzon.

Everyone also believes that the Luzon Kingdom must not dare to have any opinions. After all, even the king has been wiped out. The entire Luzon Kingdom is actually very small. There are still a few other cities, but dare to say no?

"Okay~"

"According to this, I am so domineering and mighty~"

"Teach them Lu Song country hard, and let them know how powerful I am, and a small country with a bigger fart dares to bully my Ming people, it is simply courting death."

"If they don't destroy their Luzon Kingdom, it's all about the face of the suzerain and vassal states."

"Would you like to go prospecting together~"

"If you can find a gold mine, you will really get rich~"

"It's not that easy. There is very little development on Luzon Island, and there are primitive dense rainforests everywhere. There are still these indigenous people in it, which is very dangerous."

"Not dangerous? Is there a place for you to eat meat?"

"I don't think there's anything scary about these natives. My Ming army took them down easily. We recruited some people and they are fully armed. They will be fine."

"Yes, yes, Luzon is rich in gold. Have you seen the boxes and boxes of gold? It's just started now. If you want to make a fortune, you have to hurry up. I'll go back now and let the business send more people come over."

"..."

The people of Ming Dynasty are all ecstatic. Gold is always the most fascinating thing, and it is also the most motivating thing.

As for the local natives, they all looked ashen. Daming's side is really too domineering.

Directly declaring that this place has become the place of Ming Dynasty, the key is to have them leave Crescent Bay, they can no longer stay here, they must leave Crescent Bay for twenty miles, and they will not be able to approach this place without permission in the future.

Many people are not reconciled. After all, this is their home. Although most of them have been razed, it is still home after all. Anyway, most of them are built with wooden sheds, and it is not laborious.

As long as you give them a little time, they can easily build it again. Now it's all over. The people of Daming don't allow them to live within [-] miles of Crescent Bay, so they have to leave here.

Crescent Bay is the earliest place to be developed, and it is also the best place to be developed. After [-] miles, it will be redeveloped. Many places are still primitive rainforests.

But even though they were not reconciled, they didn't dare to resist at all. The artillery of Daming is still shaking in their minds. The killing of princes and nobles such as Lagan, and the burning of Lapu and others also shocked the people of Daming. It's amazing.

If you want to live, you can only obediently migrate to a place twenty miles away.

At any rate, he can be regarded as a probationary citizen of Da Ming now, and can enjoy the protection of Da Ming. Perhaps following Da Ming in the future will not be worse than before.

After all, Daming is the suzerain country, and Daming has always been synonymous with prosperity in their impression, and it seems to be very good to become a probationary citizen.

　Do you think this will work?
