Marx once said that since the day capital came to the world, every pore is soaked with blood and dirty things.

What you said is true!

The entire Jiangnan was disturbed by the huge war, the people were displaced, and the blood and tears of countless landlords and clans built the prosperity of Manila in the Northern Ming Dynasty.

Population is the greatest wealth, and it is true that it is said! In July, every month, more than 50,000 people flocked to Manila. The Spanish farmer manors who were massacred and driven into the mountains to fight guerrilla were immediately filled with the later Han people. There was no winter here at all. Although it was late autumn, it was just coming from the Ming Dynasty and was when they showed a strong desire. The sugarcane, which had already withered for more than half a month, was planted with green new seedlings by them again.

Moreover, the Luzon Islands are absolutely vast and sparsely populated for the Spaniards. They only occupy the best locations for water conservancy, lighting and transportation conditions to build sugarcane gardens. Next to the sugarcane gardens, there are also large areas of wastelands that no one will cultivate.

Anyway, there are many places, and the soldiers of the Governor's Office deliberately instigated and secretly promoted them. In order to keep people, the planters turned a blind eye to others and allowed these deceived refugees to secretly cultivate them. Under the wave of hardworking hoes, the earth was opened one green patch after another.

If the economy wants to develop, how can there be less road construction? The most Southern Dynasties refugees transported to Luzon were directly formed by the East India Company to build road construction troops.

The poor Luzon Peninsula has been rippling in the South Pacific sea breeze for many years, but now it is unlucky. The thick black smoke rose into the sky. Liaodong refined, and the two-ton crucible was burning with fine coal from Shanxi coal mines. Black smoke was rolling in the air. Seeing that the crucible was almost burning, several East India Company foremen shouted and shouted, and more than a dozen workers gritted their teeth and pulled the hot iron chains. Under the amazing and unpleasant smell in the air, streams of charred and viscous liquid flowed out and poured on piles of gravel.

These things are from the black mine in Guangyuan, Sichuan. They are named asphalt. To be honest, Mao Jue remembers that these things were all products that were refined by the oil industry in later generations. The only thing he had heard of was a bit natural, that is, the Asphalt Lake in Central Park, the United States. He really didn't expect that there was even natural asphalt in the Ming Dynasty.

This thing was discovered quite legendary. Zhang Xianzhong exchanged population for military rations, among which there were local tyrants captured by sending troops to sweep the enemy in Longyuan Mountain.

If you can become a powerful man, you will definitely be better than ordinary farmers and have a greater desire. Other Sichuan people who bought it were assigned to state-owned enterprises and don’t have to be slaves, and you still have wages to get. They are so happy that they can’t be happy at all. Where did he pick cotton and pedal a sewing machine? So after his mind was working, the powerful man dedicated the black mine brought out from his home to Wen Meng, who was the top military affairs leader in Shaanxi, saying that this thing is very valuable and willing to run it for the Regent.

However, Wen Meng didn't know the goods, and didn't take it too seriously when he looked at the black and bright thing, so he gave some money to get rid of the powerful man.

Dugu Xin, a powerful Xianbei who established the Western Wei Dynasty in ancient times, had an octahedral seal made of coal crystal stone. This Mao Jue ascended the throne, and Wen Meng had nothing to give, so he turned out the fast asphalt black ore. Some people also learned to carve an octahedral seal as a gift and gave it to Mao Jue to express his loyalty.

When he opened the gift box in the capital, he was choked by the familiar smell. Mao Jue slapped his thigh in surprise. Isn’t this bitumen? He knew the value of this thing clearly. For this reason, he ordered the Ministry of Industry to organize an inspection team to go to Longyuan Mountain, Sichuan for a special inspection. After returning, Beiming had an additional Sichuan Black Mine Import Company and Zhang Xianzhong traded with another major project.

Without any other functions, this thing is much faster to build roads than concrete! While the liquid has not cooled down and solidified, it is so hot that it is sweating all over. The shirtless worker quickly mixed the melted asphalt and gravel with a shovel, and then pounced on the road surface that had been flattened with a mill. Press this end with a mill. When the asphalt cools down, a straight and beautiful asphalt road will come out.

This one was dry and hot, but suddenly a jingle of bells came over on the other end, followed by a white horse pulling a four-wheeled carriage and jogging over.

This thing is not uncommon in Jiangnan, but after all, it is only a wealthy person who can sit up. The workers responsible for building roads still habitually avoid a road to the edge. But as they walked, the curtain of the car was suddenly lifted, revealing the face of the Western Fan people. Suddenly, the originally calm road construction team became turbulent. The workers excitedly held hoes and rods to surround the carriage.

"What are you doing? Are you rebelling?"

The carriage is of great level, and it is actually protected by cavalrymen in the Governor's Office. When I saw this scene, I clearly felt that my face was dull. The escort cavalry captain pulled out his gun and shouted loudly.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you Jun Ye! Isn't the government offering a reward for Spanish cannibals? Seeing the barbarians, the brothers couldn't help but be excited!"

Until now, the Ming Dynasty still has not let go of the Spanish in Luzon. They offer rewards to the natives and Ming immigrants. They have obtained one, and they have a reward of 30 taels of silver. In the Ming Dynasty, they can't make 30 taels of money in ten years. Even in Manila, they have to have two or three years of salary. No wonder a group of road workers are like seeing treasures.

Listening to the foreman's disappointed explanation, the cavalry from the capital army immediately showed the discrimination between the north and the south to the fullest, and proudly taught a lesson with disdain.

"Bangmao! The unknown Southern Barbarians! I will teach you today. There are many kinds of Western Fans. The Spanish Fans are as dark as us, with black hair and black eyes, short and short, like this, red hair and big nose like a big horse monkey. This is the Dutch Fan, and there are golden or brown hair. The one with eagle hooked nose is Eagle Jilifan. It is the best Western Fan. Our emperor admires them! Remember it clearly. If you make a good fan next time, you will have to trouble you to come to you!"

"Why don't you give Dao'er to me?"

The captain of the guard cavalry glared at him, and a group of road-raising workers hurriedly hid on both sides of the team, and showed him respectfully, watching several cavalry guarding the carriage and walking towards the Governor's Mansion. A few young men were really carrying black hair, red hair, and a few older men were smiling and spitting on the ground.

"Bei Zi, why are you so arrogant? Long Sui's ancestral home is still from here in the south. Who do you look down on me?"

The southerners and northerners are here, and the southern barbarians are in conflict with each other. The most depressing thing is the minister of the Dutch East India Company sitting in the carriage, Sir Cohen, the representative of the 17-member shareholders' meeting. Because both sides at least regard each other as similar, they do not regard him as a monkey, they really look like they look at the horse monkey. In this way, they claim to be the center of civilization and are extremely uncomfortable wherever they go.

After hanging the carriage curtain again, Cohen couldn't help but yell in Dutch slang.

"Silly Eastern Monkey!"

But what made him even more disgusted was not the contempt of Ming people for him, but the number of Ming people!

The Spanish colonized East India for almost a hundred years. The entire Luzon colony was one of the top colonies in the Spanish Empire. What is the total population? It is less than 100,000, and it is almost completely lost in the bloody battle with the Ming Dynasty. How long did the Ming Dynasty colonize Luzon? Five months! Looking at this number now, the population is probably more than 100,000. According to this development trend, it won’t take long. The Ming people will probably exceed the number of local natives and become the real largest clan in East India.

Under the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue surrounded the city of Relan Cha, and did not even need to siege the city. He directly immigrated and reclaimed the city. The Dutch could only watch. This time he came to Manila, hoping to cease the battle with the Ming Dynasty and redeem the unlucky governor of Taiwan Vanderbilt and thousands of employees of the Dutch East India Company. The Taiwan colony would not be allowed!

But following the current trend, it won’t take long before the Ming Dynasty will manage the Luzon colony well, and Batavia and the Spice Islands will be like the Taiwanese colony, under the eyelids of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, will the Ming Dynasty reuse the same trick? It will force the Dutch to squeeze out the Dutch?

He pinched a Brazilian cigar and felt the heavier the more he thought about it! As the carriage swayed, the old politician who could stomp his feet in Europe and the pope's heartbeat a little faster, his wrinkled face was changing constantly, but in the end, a heart-wrenching cruelty set his pupils.

At this moment, the cavalry team responsible for sending each other out was shouting loudly.

"Old monkey, the Governor's Mansion has arrived!"
