    Zhou Tangsheng came again.

    Arriving at the entrance of this Franconian-style building, although the white official residence made people feel unlucky, Governor Liu Yi followed the tradition of officials not repairing the Yamen and did not let anyone re-decorate and repair it.

    Zhou Tangsheng did not come by carriage.

    On the one hand, the price of carriages shipped from Daming is too high, on the other hand, the manpower here is outrageously low.

    There are too many people in Luzon.

    The local people are extremely docile. If you give them just a bite of food, a whole family will surround you.

    For example, Zhou Tangsheng likes to sit in a sedan chair. Of course, this sedan chair is not an ordinary sedan chair.

    This sedan is made of the finest wood. Such wood would have been valuable in the Ming Dynasty, but in Luzon, it was worthless.

    The sedan chair is an eight-carriage sedan. Since we are in Luzon, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so we don¡¯t have so many rules to worry about.

    The sedan was spacious and luxurious. Eight natives carried the large sedan. The sedan was open on all sides. After all, it was too hot and it would be painful to be suffocated inside.

    When Zhou Tangsheng was sitting in the sedan, in addition to the eight people carrying him, there were two natives standing behind him, fanning him slowly.

    This banana fan brought a bit of coolness, while Zhou Tangsheng leaned on a wicker chair and took a nap. He worked too hard, so much land needed to be conquered, and there was so much food

    I heard from people at Sihai Trading Company that there is a huge demand for drinks and sugar in Daming.

    "Wine is easy to say, just make it with grain."

    But sugar made Zhou Tang even more excited.

    Here in Luzon, the most suitable thing to grow is sugar cane. It costs almost nothing. If you scatter the seeds, it will be a large area. After the sugar cane is grown, sugar can be boiled. The manpower used is almost negligible, and this sugar  But it¡¯s worth a lot of money. Who knows who planted it? It¡¯s like picking up money.

    Not to mention the land here also produces a large amount of spices. If these spices are continuously transported to the Ming Dynasty and continue to be supplied, the income

    Whether it¡¯s wine, sugar, or spices, these things can all be sold for big prices.

    He has begun to plan his own land and is working hard on it. He thinks about it every day, whether it is more profitable to make wine or to make sugar.

    He was thinking, and his eyes casually fell on a native carrying a sedan in front. He saw that the native was naked, revealing his dark back. His skin was burned red by the scorching sun due to frequent exposure, and there were layers of old skin.  After it fell off, white and tender new skin grew back, so that his back was like a wall in disrepair.

    He squinted his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's not a bad thing to live like a native. In addition to working and eating, he doesn't have to think about anything and is carefree. People like me who have land Hey,  Calculating profits every day is really a troublesome thing.

    As soon as the governor's Yamen arrived, Zhou Tangsheng landed with the support of the native attendants.

    He coughed Immediately behind him, a native attendant followed by eight sedans took out a bamboo tube of herbal tea from the food box he carried.

    On the other side, there were still natives fanning him dutifully.

    The wind brought coolness to him.

    When the herbal tea entered his mouth, his throat, which was almost smoking, finally felt a little cooler.

    He couldn't help but curse, and then he saw many gentry, and they all came.

    This is what everyone has agreed to do, and we will come together to pay homage to Governor Liu Yi.

    Liu Yi was originally the chief envoy, but then the imperial court gave him the post of governor.

    Because except for the chief military officer Xu Pengju, it was really difficult for the court to find anyone to come to Luzon.

    Zhou Tangsheng then greeted each other and the gentry who came with him, clasping fists with each other. Unlike the stern faces just now, when he met the gentry, everyone smiled and said hello in a friendly manner.

    While they were being informed, a native attendant put a big umbrella on them to block the sun, and each of them stopped to chat under the umbrella.

    "I heard thatthe price of sugar has increased again. This is the news brought by a businessman in Quanzhou. Those people have been hungry for half their lives, but now they are full. With spare money in their hands, they especially love to eat sugar.  "

    "I heard that the price of spices has dropped, buteven if the price drops, there are still big profits. There are places where spices are grown all over the mountains and plains here. If those spices are sent to Quanzhou, the price can be doubled several times."

    "I also heard that the Tuntian Guards might come and try to plant something something like rubber. They said it would be great.We must try our best to relieve the labor force. Mr. Liu, isn¡¯t it mentioned in this sage¡¯s book?  It is the duty of a scholar to punish the people and punish their crimes. How can we, mere lackeys, forget the teachings of the saints?  I can't bear to see what they do. If I sit back and ignore them, my conscience is uneasy. Now that I have shown great righteousness, the emperor treats people from afar and does not kill his claws and claws. How can I show my royal way?  Mr. Liu, here there are criminal evidences about the murder of local natives in Java and the southern island of Luzon. I have tried my best to obtain them. I also asked Mr. Liu to take a look.  "

    As he spoke, Liu Yi pulled out a stack of memorials from his sleeves, as if by magic, and said angrily: "Look at these people, Mr. Liu, are they still human beings?" (Remember the website address of this website.  £ºwww.hlnovel.com
