After all, a golden pot like Sihai Commercial Bank still needs to be held in your own hands.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was not polite, Liu Yu had no choice but to promise.

After all, the current Luzon Ming army still needs unity. In terms of the navy town, it is indeed not as powerful as Xiao Wuda in terms of influence.

Xiao Wu's command ability in naval battles is still quite outstanding.

And the most important thing is that this time Xiao Wu brought to the Ming court not only the contribution of extermination of pirates in northern Luzon.

The three town navy crossed the Babuyan Strait.

It occupied most of the islands of the Babuyan Islands, such as Fuga Island and Kamilin Island.

The pirates entrenched here were basically wiped out by the Ming army, and the remaining ones could only escape to the islands further north.

This is really great news for the Ming army.

What the Ming court needs now is to accumulate strength, especially to build warships and expand naval forces.

No wonder Xiao Wu was so eager to establish the two towns of naval troops.

In fact, within the two months after Xiao Wu left, Liu Yu expanded the two towns of naval troops.

The two big bird boats at Wigan Shipyard have been launched, and the Lavague Shipyard has been effective in transforming merchant ships.

Liu Yu transformed eight armed merchant ships in one go, and added two large bird ships built by themselves, plus a series of auxiliary ships, and formed two water towns.

This is also the reason why Liu Yu did not object.

You Jianshui Town, and I Jianshui Town, everyone knows it well, and there is no need to argue with each other in the court, right?

Of course, taxes from Lavagvigan and other coastal towns in northern Luzon cannot afford such a large army.

Not to mention building another water town, even the daily expenses of food and drink in this army of thousands of people would be enough to make local officials in Lavague.

Like Vigan, all the Rawag native officials left by the Spanish were accepted by the Ming army.

There is no way, who called Luzon's Han people either were soldiers or merchants but few literati.

A few of them looked like literati, and they were all divided up by Xiao Wu and Liu Yu.

Therefore, the local governments in Lawag or Vigan are basically composed of local indigenous officials.

The Ming army basically did not interfere in people's livelihood or manage the indigenous people.

Just send civil servants, mainly Chinese businessmen, to take charge in taxation and dock management.

Of course, these Chinese businessmen are basically Liu Yu's people.

"The Duke of Qin was indeed a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and wiped out the sea troubles in just a few months."

After getting out of the court, Liu Yu and Xiao Wu walked straight on the street.

"Haha," Xiao Wu waved his hand, his face also with a hint of joy.

"The Ming Dynasty of Luzon still needs to rely on the loyal and brave marquis. Unexpectedly, I have not returned to Luzon for several months, and Luzon has turned into Han territory."

Looking at the bustling crowds on the streets of Lavag, Xiao Wu couldn't help but sigh.

More than two months have passed since the Battle of Lavag.

The harbour city of Lavague has gradually regained its prosperity.

Unlike in the past, there are fewer red-haired ghosts with high noses and blue eyes among the pedestrians who are back and forth on the street, but there are many more gorgeously dressed Chinese merchants and Han people.

These Han people were either men who worked in farming all year round, fishermen who made a living by fishing, and some were members of wealthy businessmen in Luzon.

Some come voluntarily, while others are involuntarily.

After coming to Luzon, most of them were integrated into the rule of the local Ming army in Luzon.

Although some ships encountered strong winds and waves during the repeated shipping routes, some ships even encountered typhoons, which sank and drowned many civilians.

After a brief adaptation, the Ming court screened it.

Fishermen who were proficient in water were directly incorporated into the newly formed water town by the Ming court.

Some of the men who worked in the fields all year round were incorporated into the new auxiliary military town by Liu Yu, and some were included in the Sihai Business Company to serve as coolies.

After all, labor is needed both on land and sea and far sea. It is not safe to hand over the locals such as transporting goods and other coolies to the docks and other places. With compatriots, they will naturally feel at ease.

And these are far from enough for the Luzon Ming army.

There is a large amount of barren arable land in Luzon that needs someone to cultivate, and the Sihai Commercial Bank still needs more labor to assist them in transporting goods.

The Luzon Ming army also needed more soldiers and sailors.

The generals of each town need more slaves and maids.

"The Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period was indeed in an upward stage, and its control over the coast was indeed not comparable to that of the late Qing Dynasty." Liu Yu could only sigh.

"Since the Guangdong area is not good, then look at the Fujian and Zhejiang areas." Seeing that the Qing court was martial law in Guangdong, Liu Yu naturally turned his attention to the Fujian area.
