Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 809 Development

It is inevitable for people to apply natural filters to certain people or groups.

Of course, the envoys from many countries, large and small, who are currently gathering in Manila have no other choice but to look forward to the Ming Emperor.

Originally, in the maritime areas, countries were only more impacted by the Western world and the Middle Eastern world. The intersection with China came either from the merchant ships of the Zheng family, or from Western ships purchasing goods in China and selling them to their countries.

Now they are under the Empire's radar.

Zheng Chenggong led his troops to plow the north and south of Luzon. Except for some deep mountains and old forests, most of the land was brought under the control of the Ming Dynasty. After the naturalization of the indigenous people, a large amount of land was vacated, at least for the Ming Dynasty. It's vacant.

The Brunei Concession has rapidly expanded from a small city in just a few months.

The King of Brunei had trouble pretending to be Wang Cheng'en's adopted son, so he could only sit back and watch as the concession troops drove away Brunei people and continued to push the boundaries outward.

The Sulu Sultanate has ceased to exist in name only in the eyes of the world, and the royal family has basically become a king with a different surname within the Ming Empire.

This is closer to Luzon.

Farther away, companies are trying their best to swallow up and suppress the main industries in their countries.

Spice garden?

collection.

Is there enough food produced?

Forcibly acquire it at a low price, and at the same time force it to sell the land to the company or the Ming Empire, or the agents of the company and the empire in this country.

mineral?

By the same token, the final destination of these products was the Nanyang Company and the Ming Empire.

This also means that these envoys gathered in Manila, seemingly waiting for the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty to arrive in Luzon to officially represent the Ming Emperor in power in Luzon, but in fact they were sitting back and watching their country be swallowed up by the empire.

After all, being able to do all of the above shows that the economies and markets of these countries have fallen.

So when Zhu Linyuan, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was surrounded by thousands of people and greeted by hundreds of civil and military officials from Luzon, he glanced at those foreign envoys and could just find the right words to describe the current situation of their country from the book in his hand.

dumping ground, semi-colonial

"On this trip, there are 21,130 people who traveled south with me across the sea in the Ming Dynasty. One hundred and fifty-nine people died accidentally during the crossing, and there are more than a thousand injured and sick. They should be resettled as soon as possible."

Different from taking a stroll before, this time the Ming Prince officially ruled Luzon on behalf of the emperor, and at the same time a huge number of immigrants and troops came at once.

Zhu Linyuan's rise to power is not just talk.

After sending away the foreign envoys, the Ming Dynasty, which was broken and reestablished, began to operate at high speed in Manila, Luzon.

Manila was renamed Xinjing and designated as the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Acquire land from the Ming Dynasty people, buy the indigenous people's land at low prices along the way, directly expel them if they don't comply, and then set up an industrial zone.

Of course, schools are indispensable. The literati who followed the Ming Dynasty to Luzon are treasures and must be well treated. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty not only built schools, but also planned to dig a decent canal in the new capital of Luzon to serve shipping. We also want to recreate Qinhuai, which is ten miles away, so that all the literati and poets can have a good place to spend time.

Build royal palaces, set aside royal gardens, purchase royal properties, and expand the army to defend the Ming Dynasty.

Building ships, making guns and ammunition, and building cities are like spending money like water.

The old Ming Dynasty would never dare to think about it.

However, the Ming Empire, which abandoned its so-called basic base, completely devoted itself overseas, and was only supported by the Luzon and Nanyang Companies, did not fall into financial crisis.

Including more than half of the earth, 70% of the country, a maritime trade market involving % of the population, and blood drawn from many semi-colonies, the new Ming Empire has money and resources, but those with unreliable shortcomings can only come from the mainland. Slowly transport it to Luzon.

The political system has become simpler and financial freedom is unprecedented.

What Zhu Linyuan calls governing is actually using money.

While a lot of money was being spread out, the industry was spreading and a lot of money was coming in.

Zhu Linyuan only hated the lack of human resources, the inability to increase production capacity, and the endless money, which could not be used up at all.

"The prince should have been here long ago!"

The money paved the way, and it was also heavy when it fell into the hands of the people below. It can be said that everyone is happy.

Whether they have worked hard in Luzon before or have just arrived in Luzon, as long as they have money on hand, the Han people will have strength.

"Finally, there is no need to look at the company's face. The royal shops in the city are also selling arms. Not to mention martial arts guns, there are also short guns that the company is not allowed to sell. There is even a way to sell cannons!"

Immigrants who have just landed cannot be idle. The men and women have been arranged before Ming gets on the ship.

The newly arrived immigrants were surprised that they could buy and sell artillery: "Artillery!? Artillery?"

The old immigrant who was preparing the preparations was also very interested: "The small cannon, the muzzle is as big as a bull's eye. It is said that the prince intended to let those of us in the southward pioneering group buy cannons, but the court did not allow it, but since it was the prince's wish, then The royal shop also sold them secretly."

The new immigrants were naturally excited: "Brother, do we want to do something?"

"No need!"

The old immigrant waved his hand with a look of disdain: "The army's wooden cannons or earth-fired thunder are enough. These are included in the southward development brochure issued by the government. As long as the stockade is built, the natives in the mountains can use their earthen guns, bows and arrows." I can't help you. If you farm honestly and pay the registration fee, you will get a hundred acres of land. I think you are pleased with me and would like to remind you to pay the fee early. The land that was opened by others without paying the fee will be used as long as there is no land in the field. Miao! After a little bit of preparation, I can draw it directly to you!"

"Ah? Those who register early can grab all the good land?"

"That's right! The only good land a village can occupy is that much. When all the good land is taken up, the rest is rotten land and woods. Damn it! I just didn't know last year. I fought several battles with the natives and the result was... It’s occupied! Otherwise, can I do this hard work?”

The new immigrant was immediately filled with righteous indignation. He followed the old immigrant and cursed the villain. Then he turned his eyes and enthusiastically handed the old immigrant a cigarette and asked: "All the other old group nurses have You came here to protect us in order to make extra money. You have no land and no servants to follow you right now. Are you always interested in our group?"

"you?!"

The capable old immigrant, wearing cotton armor and a hat, grinned and said, "I'm just here to save money! It'll be great if you can eat the land allocated by the government for you! You guys are smart and sensible, and in a while, the government documents will be issued It’s coming down soon, I’ll tell you in advance!

Depending on the placement location, the available land is also different! You can get a hundred acres of land in northern Luzon! We need ten more acres of land in southern Luzon! There are 150 acres going to Sulu! One hundred and sixty acres in Brunei! Tidore has two hundred acres more! The further south you go, the more you get!

Do you know Australia? The Ming Dynasty moved southward to open up the southernmost region! If you are willing to go to Australia with the government to develop, you don’t even have to pay the registration fee when you get there! Just by putting your name on it, you can have a thousand acres of land! A whole thousand acres! ! "
