King Hendry of Luzon was a carefully selected hedonist, and at the moment, all he had to do was be obedient and enjoyable, and nothing else mattered.

When Hendry dies, there will be a second and third Hendry, Xiao Ruxun casually specifies, if he wants to seal it, if he wants to abolish it, he can't give him the fetters of his family, otherwise he will inevitably have a different heart.

Hendry himself is also very aware of his situation, he was originally a poor man who wanted to come to Luzon to serve in the army in the danger of wealth and danger, and now he is lucky to become the king of Luzon who has no worries about food and clothing, and lives a very luxurious life that he could not have imagined before.

There are dozens of exotic beauties who accompany each other, singing every night, and they have long been happy.

I don't want anything, just some kind of dreamy and wonderful life now, I just want to enjoy it, I just want this kind of paradise.

Hendry is a rather realistic realist hedonist, who only came here so that he could have more money and women in the future, as for making a career?

Sorry, can't think that far.

To be able to enjoy the life of a king, the treatment of a king, the status of a king, this is something that is unthinkable, as for who will run the country -

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all.

His guards were carefully selected from the guards around Xiao Ruxun, so that the missionaries could teach them to speak Spanish in a short period of time, and all the people Hendry came into contact with were Ming people, except for his "concubines", all of them were Ming people, and all aspects of life and living were handled by Da Ming.

Under this arrangement, it can be guaranteed that Hendry will be a very well-behaved king of Luzon until his death.

In this way, there is a lot of pressure on the "Luzon Minister" to be very capable of dealing with things here, to maintain stability, to maintain income, to maintain the balance between indigenous and Spanish missionaries.

Xiao Ruxun divided the missionaries into two parts, one to continue to preach among the tribes of the good people, and the other to return to Burma with him to prepare for the Burmese natives.

The prime minister of Luzon had no more than 3,000 troops at his disposal, and he had to detach some of his troops to explore the other islands in the south, and to search for more and richer mineral deposits, and even to wage war at any time, because if he encountered a resisting native, he would have to be captured as slaves.

Xiao Ruxun even had the idea of wanting to do the slave trade.

There are too many slaves captured, sometimes it's not a good thing, there are about two million to three million people in the whole Philippines now, it is impossible to cooperate with all of them, there must be those who do not cooperate, count one-third, more than a million, more than a million people, do you need so many slaves? Can you afford it?

Besides, there are still two or three million natives in Burma, and most of them will be slaves at that time, leaving a small part for their own use, and most of them are burdensome, it is a pity to kill them, and they can be sold.

At this moment, the Europeans were playing triangular trade, making agreements with African tribal chiefs and kings of the kingdom to exchange money and firearms for these black slaves, and then sell them to the Americas, where the population was needed, in exchange for a large profit, and the proceeds of this profit directly contributed to the development of countries such as Spain and Britain.

The current large slave population forced Xiao Ruxun to start thinking about the possibility of the slave trade, and he found some Spaniards and asked them about some of their country's trade operations in the Americas, from which he learned some details of the galleon trade.

Xiao Ruxun began to imagine that he could replace the Spaniards in the trade from Manila to Mexico and Latin America.

The Spaniards set out from Manila and carried enough Chinese and Japanese goods to sell in the Mexican and Latin American markets in exchange for high profits, while expanding their trade and continuing to buy luxury goods from China.

In this way, a large amount of silver plundered from the Americas flowed into China, which contributed to Zhang Juzheng's silver standard reform, and laid a solid foundation for the later use of silver as currency in China.

And unlike the Spaniards, who needed a large number of natives to work for them, the last thing China lacked was population.

Xiao Ruxun was worried that there was no place to free up a large amount of vacant land to settle the Chinese, so a good thing fell from the sky, and millions of natives in the Philippines and Myanmar instantly turned from a burden to a treasure.

He did not want this primitive accumulation of capital to be monopolized by Europe, such a great time, an opportunity without moral condemnation, an opportunity when there was not even a law to prohibit or even support it, an era in which the world mainstream, and it would be foolish not to participate in it.

Xiao Ruxun couldn't think of any reason not to get involved.

Only trading luxury goods with Europe can certainly open the European market, but only the European market is not enough to satisfy him, since it can also open the American market, why not?

Spain is now at the end of the crossbow, in Europe there are Britain, France and the Netherlands to contain hostility, there are instability factors of the Portuguese inside, and in Asia, there is Xiao Ruxun here The sudden expulsion of forces, their shortcomings of lack of heritage are clear at a glance, as far as the current Spaniards, Xiao Ruxun is not afraid at all.

I accepted the market share of the Americas unceremoniously.

Xiao Ruxun sent off these surrendered Spaniards and began to develop a new galleon trade plan.

It is necessary to seize market share not only in Europe, but also in the Americas, to completely crush the power of Spain and replace it with China.

There are many lesser-known facts about this galleon trade, and China, as a country lacking gold and silver and other metals, was able to achieve the silver standard, and this period of trade really contributed to it.

By the 1680s at the latest, Chinese silk had threatened the sales of Spanish products in the Americas, and at the beginning of the seventeenth century, Mexicans wore silk more than cotton, and by 1637, the Mexican silk industry was made from Ming silk, and Mexico's native silk was largely wiped out.

Peru, which is close to Mexico, was also a huge market for Ming Dynasty silk, and the price of Ming Dynasty silk in Peru was only one-third of the price of Spanish products.

The silk of the Ming Dynasty not only flooded the American market, seized the sales of Spanish silk in the Americas, and even bypassed most of the world and exported to Spain, where it directly destroyed the production of silk in Spain.

The Ming Dynasty's cheap goods were exported overseas to seize the share of other countries' domestic trade, and even destroy local production in Europe, and this kind of bug-like sales action, if directly controlled by the Chinese, would have multiplied the destructive power of local commerce in other parts of the world.

Xiao Ruxun also sighed a little, once upon a time, our products were high-quality goods recognized by the world, selling well all over the world, attacking cities everywhere, unstoppable, and to this day, poor quality is still a shameful label that is difficult to get rid of China's domestic products.

At this thought, Xiao Ruxun was even more determined to continue the Manila galleon trade.
