    On the top of Manila Castle, Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong looked down at the entire Bay Area with telescopes, ready to make a good plan for this newly arrived place.

    ¡°What a great place~¡±

    Through the telescope, you can clearly see the entire Manila Bay.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????

    "It is indeed a good place. If nothing else, the open plains on both sides of the river alone are enough to cultivate countless plantations."

    Lin Shuhong also nodded and said, then pointed to the river mouth and said: "We can build a port here at the river mouth and rely on the river and the existing castle without spending too much effort.  "

    "There is no need to rush to build the city. This castle is enough for the early stage. In a short period of time, there won't be too many people here. But by next year, it is estimated that at least tens of thousands of people will have to immigrate here to gain a foothold here.  .¡±

    "The number of these indigenous people still accounts for an absolute advantage. Without enough people to immigrate, we will never feel safe."

    Du Mingen nodded, thought for a while and said.

    "Don't worry, there will definitely be no need to worry about people when the time comes. Look below, I guess this small castle will definitely not be able to accommodate people."

    Lin Shuhong said very confidently, pointing to the bustling castle.

    It turns out that the castle has become extremely lively at this time. People from the fleet that followed them south poured into the castle, and they were all ready to take a good rest.

    Throughout Manila, except for the houses in the Akito neighborhood, which are still intact, the neighborhoods where the indigenous people live have been almost razed to the ground, and only the entire castle is left with intact houses for everyone to rest.

    A large number of people poured into Manila Castle. At the same time, Du Mingen and Lin Shuhong also decided to show everyone their harvest. They also placed all the things that the Ming army had plundered from the castle at the entrance of the palace.

    Box after box of gold, silver, jewelry, emeralds, agates, gems, ivory, pearls, etc. are piled up in mountains, arranged neatly, and blooming with charming colors.

    In addition, there are some big things, such as a rockery made of red coral, a stone lion carved from a large piece of jade, and the top-grade imperial green jade the size of a millstone on the roof of the palace

    All these things were placed at the entrance of the palace, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Soon there was a sea of ??people at the entrance of the palace, and everyone's eyes were shining brightly looking at these things at the entrance of the palace.

    "Oh my God~"

    "How much gold, silver, jade, agate, pearl, ivory, how much is this worth?"

    Zhu Benduan looked at boxes after boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, etc. Although he was a big salt merchant and a person who had seen a lot of the world, he had seen many kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but looking at them all at once  Seeing so many things piled together, I still can't help but sigh.

    "I heard that they estimated it to be worth at least 40 million taels of silver~"

    Feng Xiang stretched out four fingers and said with saliva.

    "Forty million taels of silver, my dear~ isn't this another trip to the Golden Continent?"

    Zhu Benduan was speechless after hearing this.

    They salt merchants used to be extremely wealthy, but when it comes to tens of millions or millions of taels of silver, they are extremely jealous.

    "Did you see that coral?"

    Feng Xiang pointed to a screen made of coral. It was made of a whole piece of large coral. It was more than one foot high. It was very ruddy in color and made people fall in love with it at first sight.

    ¡°Oh my god, what a big coral~¡±

    Zhu Benduan looked over and his eyes widened suddenly.

    He thought of the pieces of coral in his home, which were only over a foot high and had always been his favorite ornaments. For this reason, he had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy them.

    Look at some of the coral ornaments in front of you. Even the smallest coral is much larger than theirs. Moreover, the color is as red as a ruby, with a hint of luster. Under the sunlight, it is bright and eye-catching.

    "Have you never seen it? I have never seen such big corals before. Just these few coral ornaments, in our Ming Dynasty, can be easily sold for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

    ¡°?The location of Nanyang is too important. Liu Jin will never let it fall into the hands of Europeans. In Liu Jin's plan, Europeans must not get involved in Nanyang. This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so it must be  Seize it first.

    Not only Manila, in the future Liu Jin will also set up many colonial strongholds in the Nanyang region like the Europeans. Manila is just the first, and there will be colonial strongholds set up in many important checkpoints in the future.

    On the one hand, it is convenient for the major Ming Dynasty merchants to do business in Nanyang, and they can also continue westward to Tianzhu, Arabia and Africa. On the other hand, it relies on strongholds for colonial plunder, thus promoting the primitive accumulation of capital.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
