Chapter 53 Chinese Business

Liu Yu was about to get angry and just turned around

I saw a man in a beautiful robe walking out of the crowd.

Seeing this man with beautiful faces and extraordinary behavior, Liu Yu looked like a rich young man.

"In Xiasu Langqing, a native of Ningbo, his family moved to Luzon to avoid the war and now lives in Lavague City." The man bowed to Liu Yu.

"Oh, are you a Nanyang Chinese businessman?" Liu Yu was both surprised and relieved.

It has been a while since I came to Nanyang, and Liu Yu has also met many Chinese in Luzon.

However, what the Ming court gathered was basically refugees who fled to various places after several massacres, and basically fishermen and farmers who fled to Nanyang due to war and survived in various parts of Luzon in order to make a living.

Basically, they came to Luzon after the Spanish massacre more than 20 years ago.

As for those Chinese businessmen, Liu Yu has never seen them.

Those real Luzon Chinese merchants actually live in large Luzon cities such as Manila and Lavague.

And these places are under the control of the Spanish,

To be honest, let alone surrendering, these Chinese merchants were eager to separate themselves from the Ming court in exile in Luzon.

Su Langqing also looked at the Ming army general who was a few years younger than him in front of him, with some nervousness.

He did not live in Weigan City, but he just had some industries in Weigan.

The core of its family is in Lavague,

This time, we went south to Weigan mainly to buy some family industries.

Who would have thought that shortly after arriving in Vigan, I heard that an exiled armed force that came from somewhere occupied the western coast of Luzon and defeated the coalition forces of Spain and Turkish.

For a moment, Weigan fell into panic.

Before the news that the Ming army was about to attack Weigan City was heard, the pirates in the sea began to stir up trouble again.

Heard that the Black Flag Gang united the major pirate forces outside Luzon to attack Vigan and Lavag City,

For a time, the whole city of Weigan was in turmoil.

Hundreds of Spanish soldiers stationed in Vigan hurriedly fled to Lavag under the leadership of the consul, leaving Vigan unpreparedly in front of the pirates and the Ming people.

So much so that he wrote letters to him one after another at the Su family in Lavag, asking him to return to Lavag quickly.

After all, compared to Vigan, Lavague, who is heavily guarded by Spain, is much safer.

However, Su Langqing still chose to stay.

He has been looking at the movements of the Ming court these days, and he vaguely felt that there was an essential difference between the Ming court and those pirates or the soldiers.

Especially when the Ming army entered Weigan, Su Langqing's idea deepened.

If ordinary bandits had come in, the prosperous town of Weigan, they would have been so happy that they would have been unable to find the north.

After entering the city, the Ming army not only did not violate the law, but also quickly restored the judicial and public order in Weigan.

Since the Spaniards escaped, Weigan, which had already been paralyzed and chaotic, gradually recovered.

This made Su Langqing look at the Ming army commander in front of him with a different look.

He also began to accept the so-called Ming army in front of him.

"Sir, if the villain is right, the adults are just trying to form a navy." Su Langqing smiled.

Liu Yu was also looking at the young man in front of him, and he nodded undeniably.

"It's a pity that the Spanish plundered the silver in Weigan City before leaving. Our army lacked money and food, so we had to come up with this worst." Liu Yu said.

"Haha," Su Langqing smiled slightly after hearing Liu Yu's explanation.

He looked at the merchants of Weigan with a gloomy face and said, "Do you want these merchant ships or do you want the entire Weigan?"

"What does it mean?" Liu Yu looked at the Chinese businessman in front of him.

To be honest, the Han compatriots that Liu Yu saw since he came to this world were basically like Liu Quan, Xiao Ke, and he had basically never seen any decent literati.

Even in the Luzon Ming court where literati were short of, even those who spoke like Liu Yu had a trace of scholarly atmosphere were called Confucian generals by the soldiers.

This made Liu Yu laugh and cry.

At this moment, when Liu Yu really met these literati among the Han people, he was always a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Liu Yu did not reply to him, Su Langqing was not angry and continued to speak gently: "Sir, it would be easy to get these merchant ships, just kill these Weigan merchants."

Su Langqing was talking about local words in southern Fujian, so Liu Yu could understand them, but only Wuda could understand them in the audience.

When he heard this, he jumped up.

"No, the Ming army cannot massacre the wealthy businessmen in Weigan, lord must not!" Wuda knelt down directly at Liu Yu,

In fact, for Uda, he is also a representative of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the Spaniards in Weigan have already fled, and the lives of the entire city of Weigan are actually in the hands of Liu Yu.

If the young man in front of him really takes action, he may not even have a way out.

"Get up." Liu Yu looked at Wuda kneeling on the ground indifferently.

"Why did I kill the wealthy businessman in Weigan for a few merchant ships?" Liu Yu looked at Su Langqing and said coldly.

"Ha, since the adults are unwilling to kill the wealthy merchants of Weigan for a few merchant ships, why should the adults be angry with the Weigan Chamber of Commerce and force the merchant ships to conquer the merchant ships?" Seeing that Liu Yu was a little angry, Su Langqing hurriedly changed his posture.

"Sir, although these large and small merchant ships are loaded with more than ten artillery pieces, they are different from the Spanish armed sailing ships, which is so different from those of the local pirates in Luzon."

"I'm a little impulsive when I broke up with the Viktor Chamber of Commerce for a few merchant ships that could not compete with the Spanish Navy?"

After hearing Su Langqing's words, Liu Yu woke up from his extreme excitement.

Indeed, it is indeed irrational to anger the merchant class of Weigan for a few armed merchant ships loaded with more than ten artillery pieces.

After all, Weigan's public security management relies on local officials, and if you want to reorganize the Weigan trade, it will depend on local merchants to make Weigan prosperous again.

It can be said that if he wants to gain a foothold in Weigan and even Nanyang, these businessmen are his basic foundation.

"If the villain remembers correctly, there are several large ships under construction in the Weigan dock at this moment. Why not buy these unbuilt ships? First, the cost is cheap, and second, if you purchase artillery in the future, it will be easier to place." Su Langqing bowed,

Looking at Wuda, who was still angry,

"The villain is willing to invest 2,000 Spanish silver dollars to buy the ships under construction in the Vigan dock, and ask Lord Uda to communicate with the Chamber of Commerce for a while."

Uda was startled by this sudden big move.

But I quickly realized it

Seeing that the situation had turned around, Uda was also very excited at this moment.

He hurried forward and said to the representative of the Weigan Chamber of Commerce.

"The silver is all on the boat, my servants will take you to pick it up." He looked at several Ming soldiers and pointed at a nearby three-masted blessed ship.

"Su Langqing is right?" Liu Yu was a little surprised by Su Langqing's actions.

This can be said that he was the first Luzon Chinese businessman to sponsor the Ming army after he came to Luzon.

This made Liu Yu pay special attention to him.
