readx;
Although this sea lord and wealthy businessman is also a person, he may come out to sit on such a murderous and arsonist business, and he is not a person who knows etiquette, Wang Tong's side sold it one by one, and they were itching to hear it, so they simply shouted and asked.

"Have you ever been to Tianjin Wei, but have you ever been to Songjiang?" (Provided by Purple Sakura Scorpion)
Wang Tong didn't give a direct answer, but instead raised another question, how could everyone begging for a living at sea haven't been to these two places, they all nodded.
"What are the rules over there, those two rules are set well, but the rules can be maintained for so many years, can be constantly modified, and can make those two places continue to prosper, this is the real ability."
The people below all nodded, this is a clear thing, things often start to do well, but often do not last for a few years, the people behind will corrupt this rule for the sake of benefits, and the rules available at that time, later became rigid and rigid, became an obstacle, want to change, the sentence of the "ancestral rules" in charge of things is blocked back, only Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion are different, Songjiang time period not to mention, Tianjin Wei for more than ten years, when Xi is strict rules, and flexible, it is always a matter of benefiting both parties.
"Since you all believe in this statement, then Wang Mou said politely, this Luzon place, plus these ports, only Wang can manage it well, otherwise, more than ten years of prosperity may be there, but sooner or later it will be corrupted."
Everyone's faces finally changed, and they thought to themselves, what is the matter, this Liao Guogong has made a tone of the rivers and lakes, calling himself Wang, this is to be swallowed alone?
Although Wang Tong has few boats and few people, but with his excellent and strong, there is no difficulty in eating everyone now, seeing their expressions change, Wang Tong said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of coming across the ocean this time, you have also contributed, and the brothers under your hands are also bleeding and sweating, Wang will naturally not swallow it alone and not share the profits with everyone, but in order for this place to last for a long time, the blood and sweat of the brothers are not in vain, and they still have to be managed according to the rules, Wang means, we don't want to monopolize this Luzon, let's all join forces to make a firm, Everyone is the proprietor according to the elements, everyone discusses something, everyone works together, Wang is not afraid of everyone thinking too much, this firm is managed in accordance with the rules of Tianjin Wei, the income and expenditure are calculated according to the income of the firm, the armed forces on the shore are calculated according to the guards of the firm, everything is clear and convenient, what do you think?

"This seems to be the meaning of the East Tianzhu Firm!?" (Provided by Purple Sakura Scorpion)
I don t know who muttered a word below, Wang Tong was stunned, and almost laughed out loud, he still had a little impression of the name of the East India Company, but he didn't expect to hear it at this moment.
A cadre of people is ready to let Wang Tong take the lion's share, hearing Wang Tong say this charter, they all nodded their heads, with their management of Luzon, at most it is the appearance of Yuegang and Shuangyu, but Wang Tong is here to operate, that is the prosperity of Tianjin Wei and Songjiang, and everyone can talk in it, and the benefits of having a part are indispensable, what else is this, everyone is not stupid, can figure it out, as soon as this business house is established, Wang Tong also seized this place, but Wang Tong also has to bother to send capable people to manage, This is also offset by the two, what can you do if you don't want to, the other party swallows your own mouth and doesn't want to say good things with a smile, this is the best result.
"Just according to what Grandpa Guo said, the little ones have nothing to say!"
There was a person whose brain turned fast, and first shouted out what objections the rest of the people had, but they regretted that they shouted late, and they all shouted.
Having said that, Wang Tong's work here is also complete, and the contract document has already been drafted, and everyone will sign it together after seeing it, which can be regarded as a set of rules.
This contract is just a certificate, to give everyone a standard, in the end, it is still with the strength of the big guy to speak, now Wang Tong has an absolute advantage, naturally no one dares to violate this rule.
Wang Tong naturally won't stay here, he didn't even come over to make a public announcement, but the specific manager here was handed over to Sha Dacheng's side, originally Sha Dacheng also had a private port in Daming and the Wa Kingdom, but compared to the situation in Luzon, it was far worse, and at this time it was different from the past, now he has Tianjin Wei and Songjiang as the backing, and Luzon as a relay, he can already expand to the South Seas, as a sea man, Sha Dacheng knows this meaning.
The Han people in Luzon all moved from the Ming Dynasty, and the pirates have their own origins and have nothing to do with each other, but after everyone is in Luzon, these Han people's manpower must be relied on, and the two sides must have a relationship of name and domination, otherwise the name is not justified, and it is always inconvenient.
Wang Tong has already dealt with this, since he has already fought it, all the land in Luzon is owned by the newly established trading house, and all the Han people who moved over are tenants of this trading house, and the commercial house does not collect land rent from these Han people, but the Han people must bear a certain amount of labor and obligations, and the trading house has the right to purchase grain and mined ore and other materials first. And so on and so forth.
"If the Fanren and the natives come to bully and kill the Han people, we have the obligation to protect them, and since they are protected by us, we must obey the arrangement."
This is the purpose of the Han people, now the Han people are only a few thousand, it is foreseeable that the future will increase a lot, the sea lord and the powerful people have such and such forces in the Ming Dynasty, it is really easy to recruit some poor people to move over, even if they do not take the initiative to do these things, every year there are a large number of Han people to move to Nanyang, what they do, is just to take the initiative to participate.
The gold and silver property that everyone obtained in Luzon, except for those that could not be realized for a while, many of them were directly handed over to Wang Tong on the Manila side, which was the payment for ordering ships and cannons from Wang Tong's side.
Some people also took the initiative to talk to Wang Tong, saying that they were very familiar with the places of Banten and Sulu, and if the grandfather was interested, they were willing to make preparations in advance.
You can't eat a fat man in one breath, so you naturally have to let it go, and it is important to consolidate Luzon here first, the Spanish colony was defeated by the Han Chinese, although his army is either in Europe or in the Americas, and the distance of tens of thousands of miles is not so easy to come, but it is not impossible to gather troops and mercenaries in Africa and Arabia to kill them, or it will take several battles to consolidate. Wang Tong left two gunboats and 400 veterans here, for these veterans from the Huwei Army, what Wang Tong could give them in Daming was wealth and some dignity, but in Luzon, they were standard people, and their children and grandchildren would be prosperous and rich here.
The people of the Sanjiang commercial system will come later, and there will be more veterans of the Huwei army who will come here to completely enrich Luzon into a veritable colony, and those Han people who come, whether they want to or not, will be trained to become militias, to become workers of all kinds, to become the organic part of this colony.
On the way back, there were two boats loaded with young women and girls captured from the Turen place, and a few people wanted to capture them back and sell them with great interest, but the Turen were not much stronger than any ghosts in the eyes of the Han people, and they also lived primitively, and they were extremely poor, and it was difficult to grow up to look like they could be sold in the Ming Dynasty.
………………
It was February of the eighteenth year of Wanli when I returned, and it was naturally impossible for such a large fleet to act together, and some of the ones that could be sold in Fujian and Guangdong went directly to that side, and those who could be sold in Zhejiang went to Zhejiang, and those hard currencies and slaves were transported to Songjiang.
When Wang Tong appeared in Songjiang, it was already the beginning of March, everyone was not stupid, they disappeared for several months in a row, and they definitely wouldn't see any scenery on that island, the sea was not so comfortable in winter, but for the official, they just wanted an explanation.
For most officials, the prince of Liao did not disappear for no reason, but went to live in an island villa for a few months, which is enough, there is no need to ask too much, there is no need to know too much, or you will cause trouble for yourself.
The indigenous Luzon women and girls who suddenly appeared on the market did not set off any trends or anything like that, and they were just bought fresh by large families.
Judging from these things, everyone also has a little conjecture, although this kind of thing is too unbelievable for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but Wang Tong has always acted like this, and it is really a little possible.
After returning to Songjiang Mansion, Wang Tong has accumulated too many things, Songjiang Mansion and Tianjin Wei have letters and documents, which mentioned one thing, the Sanjiang commercial system is now in the grassland, outside the customs, at sea, in the Ming provinces, are all making money everywhere, and they are all profiteering transactions, gold and silver are in the account, but the gold and silver are different, they are exchanged for each other, and the difference in fineness is a big trouble.
And the scale of the business is getting bigger and bigger, the Sanjiang system is in the Tiannan and Haibei distribution, the bulk of gold and silver transportation is more and more, which itself has troubles, although the Sanjiang system is well-guarded, but no one dares to say that every time can protect the comprehensive, the risk is really not small.
Business opportunities change, and there is a time to make money all the time, but not all the time there is gold and silver in the business everywhere, because this delay is really not worth it.
In addition, the exchange of gold and silver is also a trouble, the fineness is different, the discount rate is also different, the process is also lost, and there is also a bottom of the machine.
In that life, Wang Tong knew a lot about finance and economics, and most of the knowledge in this generation was not useful, but it was very useful in this matter.
All that knowledge was prepared for a very good economic form, and what is encountered at the present time is only the original primitive state, and there have been various special explanations.
For large amounts of gold and silver inconvenient to carry and cause all kinds of inconvenience, you can make a bank ticket, now the Sanjiang system has enough outlets and a complete network in Daming, and has accumulated enough gold and silver, from all aspects have been mature, and there have been precedents.
In fact, between Beijing and Tianjin, as well as between the north and the south of the Yangtze River, large-scale gold and silver transfers and entry and exit are also inconvenient in one way or another, the transfer of gold and silver between Beijing and Tianjin, the transfer of several large prefectures in the north and the south of the Yangtze River, and the various branches of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank are all issuing bills to each other, and a settlement is carried out once every six months, and then a one-time transfer is carried out with a boat or a carriage and horse.
Because the plate of the Sanjiang system is large enough, and the reputation is also extremely high, when the Jingshi nobles and some wealthy businessmen in the north carry out large-scale gold and silver allocation, they all ask the Sanjiang system to help, and then pay a certain percentage of the cost, not to mention anything else, now that the Jingguan has gone to Shanxi and Liaoning to take office, what gold and silver exchanges between Jingshi and Saiwai Guanwai are all through the shops of the Sanjiang system, that is to say, the Sanjiang system has the nature of a bank, and it is also the bank of the whole Ming Dynasty, Wang Tong did not have such great ambitions to run a money bank at that time. Although it was also called the name of Sanjiang Bank, it never expected that it would have today's scale and situation.
It is also logical to formalize the existing conventions and rules, and then officially use the silver tickets in the Sanjiang system.
Wang Tong changed the Sanjiang Money Village to the Sanjiang Bank, which was responsible for absorbing the gold and silver of the entire Sanjiang system, and then issuing and canceling the silver bills, and was responsible for the relevant circulation.
However, these functions, Sanjiang Commercial Bank and Insurance Bank itself are doing, there is no need to list a separate Shanmen to carry out, which involves the second problem, the gold and silver are not the same, the exchange and discount procedures are complicated, and the loss is heavy, which actually has a hidden problem, that is, the amount of coinage of the Ming Dynasty is extremely insufficient.
Now the most circulating on the market is Yongle Tongbao, but the absurd thing is that the current market, including the Yongle Tongbao circulated in the Wa Kingdom and Nanyang, the total amount is almost dozens of times that of the original official coinage, and the Dashan points are all minted by the Wa State, and the more absurd thing is that the quality of the copper coins officially minted by the Ming Dynasty is far inferior to the joint casting of the Wa State and the Daming Sea Lords.
The lack of coinage is a big problem, and the difference in fineness is also a big problem, and although copper coins can be used as equivalents, not to mention insufficient, at present, gold and silver are exchanged for copper coins of lower value because of the inconvenience of large quantities, and it will not be more troublesome.
The way to deal with it is to mint coins, mint gold and silver currency, Wang Tong now has a mature hydraulic machinery system, the technology of coinage is no longer a problem, the gold and silver sea of the Sanjiang system have also made a reserve of precious metals, all the conditions are complete, but the coinage is a matter of the imperial court, Wang Tonggui is also forbidden to do this for the country, and it is necessary to find a compromise .......
