Based on this, from the royal family to the common people, all the countries in the Southeast Asian countries welcome the soldiers of Daqi. General Zhou Can receive some local specialties and food for the army wherever they go. The little lions in the port are also very polite.

The Ayutthaya officials who were half a month away from here even came over to deliver two carts of food to the little lion.

The little lion thought about it before accepting it, turned around and gave them a box of silk and satin.

These are all the fine silk and satin left by the pirates. A piece of tens of taels of silver is extremely delicate and smooth. The officials who came here have straightened their eyes and feel that this trip is worth it.

The little lion took the opportunity to express that they wanted to buy some land with Lu Song, and he said with a worried face: "From my Daqi to the South my country Sea, the Western fleet must pass through this area. However, in recent years, pirates have been rampant here, and many Qi Zimin is often looted, but our country is far away from here, and even if you have the intention, you can’t save it, so I want to represent the court and buy or rent a piece of land for the soldiers to station with them.”

As if afraid of the other party's disgust, the little lion immediately said: "Don't worry, our soldiers are only used to guard the Daqi ships, and will never interfere in your country's local affairs. If there is a conflict with your people here, it will follow your laws. to deal with."

The official's eyes lit up and he asked cautiously, "Then I wonder if the upper country can take pity on the lower people and help us drive out the foreigners?"

The little lion frowned and said thoughtfully: "If they don't do wrong things, I wouldn't want to rashly interfere in the affairs of your two countries..."

means that unless they provoke Daqi first, or do something wicked, they can take care of it, otherwise they will be unknown.

The ?? official breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as the people who came to the country did not reject them outright.

Because of Luzon’s proximity to Daqi and its superior port, many coastal areas were occupied by foreigners. With the development of Daqi’s maritime trade, the royal family and officials of the country also knew the importance of the port. It was not that they did not want to follow Daqi to make a fortune get rich, but they have lost the edge.

The natural and good ports along the coast are called for people to occupy, but they want to take it back, but they use knives, foreigners use guns, and the force is not on the same level.

They can also build ports in unoccupied places, but let’s not talk about whether they have money or not, just spend money to build them. Can they embrace it in the eyes of foreigners?

Therefore, Luzon can only pin his hopes on Shangguo.

The little lion was only fifteen years old, and in the pitiful eyes of the officials, he refused with good intentions, and could only murmur: "Well, then it's better to build this harbour, extend it and make it bigger, and then make two copies, one for you Luzon. For our own use, one will be used by us.”

The official was overjoyed, but his face was full of bitterness: "But the country is poor, so the money to build the seaport?"

The little lion raised his brows and said, "I'm just a small flag, but I can't control such a big thing."

Officials don’t believe that you can even give up half of the owner of the port. Can’t you make the money to build the port?

He knew that the young man in front of him was the son of Prince Shangguo Rong, and his status was very noble. If he could get his approval, then Lu Song would have opened up a way to make money and found a big backer.

The ?? officials had been instructed by the emperor of their own country before they came, so whatever they said had to be agreed by him.

Judging from the performance just now, although this young man is prudent and careful, he is kind-hearted. In addition, he is still young and has a thin skin. For such a person to eat soft and not hard, he only needs to treat the people of Luzon as pitiful.

When he said that the foreigners were strong and the people of the country were often shot and looted by innocent people, the other party's face was really unbearable, but the little lion's face was hesitant, but he still shook his head and refused, expressing that it was a big matter of money. Can't be the master.

The ?? official was not discouraged at all. He felt that if he came twice more, the other party would relent and agree, and it would be better to have a few large nearby village chiefs come to ask for help.

When the official left, the personal soldiers in the tent said anxiously: "Qianqiang, you can't listen to him, it will cost a lot of money to build a seaport, and the imperial court has an opinion on the military expenses consumed by sending troops for us, not to mention the Build a port for them?"

The little lion admitted that he was soft-hearted at first, but later became more sober, and now he was even more calm, he touched his chin and said: "I think this is very good, I not only want to help them repair that half. In the port, I will also help them introduce the merchants from Daqi and bring them to do sea trade business together."

The little lion smiled, "Besides, I can also owe them some of the fine breed of Daqi..."

Although he only stayed here for three months, the little lion also visited the natives' fields. How can I say it? It's a waste of land. No matter in terms of farming techniques, agricultural tools, or grain seeds, it is extremely wasteful. behind.

And once he went deep into the mountains and encountered a tribe. Although the tribe recognized the royal family, it existed independently. It only paid tribute to some animal skins every year. Live by hunting and picking...

There is almost no cold here, so it is really suitable for growing crops. The little lion thinks that Luzon can be developed into a food supply base in Daqi.

They can give them grain seeds, support them with agricultural tools, and teach them to plant, as long as they sell their excess grain to Daqi.

Moreover, the rise of the strength of the countries of the South Seas is also very important for resisting the invasion of the countries of the West, so we can’t always rely on them to support so many countries in one country, right?

The plan in the little lion's heart crackled, but he was not the kind of big brother and tiger head who said that the wind is the rain. opinions, and make a decision after summarizing them.

The same is true now. He stayed up all night to list all kinds of possibilities before staying up late to write letters to the prince, the eldest brother and the younger brother, asking for their opinions. As for Hutou's opinion, he ignored it. Anyway, he wrote to him. Just say: "I listen to you."

So he felt that there was no need to waste paper anymore.

Little lion put the letter in the envelope, thought it was bad, took out the letter again, and added "my brother, little leopard:" in the first line.

Then I wrote the prince, the eldest brother, Xiao An and the little leopard on the envelope, and the envelope was densely written.

When he handed the letter to the personal soldiers, thinking of what he said today that the imperial court had an opinion on the cost of sending troops, he immediately waved his hand: "The spoils of war in the warehouses No. Pack twenty boxes and send them to the capital."

The little lion grinned at the bright-eyed soldiers and said, "I will let someone send the ledger to the capital alone, and my father will wait in the capital to count the spoils."

Everyone immediately put their minds away. Prince Rong hated corruption the most. They were just soldiers and wanted to live.

In fact, it's not just them, even the prefects along the road, the prefect did not dare to start with these twenty boxes, didn't you see the officials of the prefecture waiting with wide eyes?

Besides, the ledger has already been sent to the capital, who would dare to do it?

The officials in Beijing closed their mouths when they saw the twenty boxes sent to Beijing and realized that even one-tenth of the spoils were less than one-tenth.

Sure enough, is there any more lucrative profession in this world than robbing pirates?
