When Su Langqing walked out of the court, several Chinese merchant ship owners who had already been waiting outside the hall came forward one after another.

"Sir Su, how about it? We can go to sea for the merchant ship." A bloated merchant ship owner rushed over, and his fat body was shaking when he spoke.

"Yes." Su Langqing nodded.

"That's great." The Chinese merchant ship owners present burst into laughter. If they could obtain the official sea permit from the Ming court, they could enter Annan earlier than Yuanhai, Luhai and other merchants.

Although Minghai has always worked for the Ming court and transported food and supplies to the Ming army, they are still maritime merchants in essence. They are just purchasing food and grass, medicines and responsible for maritime transportation for the Ming court during the war. In peacetime, maritime trade is still the main business of Minghai merchants.

"However, you may not be able to go to Hoi'an anymore." Su Langqing smiled and said softly.

"Lord Liu Yu hopes that the merchants from all over the world will go to Dongpu to trade with local Ming people."

In an instant, the Chinese businessmen present suddenly exploded.

"What, don't go to Hoi'an, go to Dongpu?"

"I haven't heard of what kind of bad place Dongpu is."

"Sir, Annan's sugar industry is developed. I have negotiated with the Tuna Chiefs. I went to Huian with gold, local medicine and cotton cloth to exchange for three ships of sweet sugar. The sailors and mercenaries have prepared them all, just waiting for news from the Ming court and Annan." A Minghai merchant ship owner said anxiously.

"Everyone, according to the time, the ship owner Zhao will return to Lavag soon. Wouldn't it be great to listen to the news about the ship owner Zhao?" Su Langqing glanced at the ship owner and advised.

"If the Lord of Annan does not want to trade with the Ming people in Luzon, will you be detained when you go there?"

Su Langqing didn't want to know why Liu Yu knew that the king of Guangnan refused to trade, but since Liu Yu had spoken, there was basically no hope for Luzon Chinese merchants to go to Guangnanhai trade.

"Ship owner Su is not impatient. The only one in the world is Minghai who can't make ends meet. Although the wise master has mercy and opens a Minghai money house, the money house is still the Ming court after all. After all, we are from a sea boat, and what we want is just a ship and a port." Another person said.

"Mr. Su, Minghai's account is indeed losing money. Otherwise, everyone present would not have targeted Annan." Brother Ding also stood up at this time.

"You also know that Lu Hai started its business by smuggling back to mainland China. During this period, Lu Hai smuggled porcelain, tea and cotton cloth and other goods did not go to Nanyang, but went to Hoi'an in Annan, and directly transported and sold Westerners in Nanyang in Hoi'an, making a fortune." Brother Ding smiled helplessly.

"Yes, I'm waiting for Minghai to lean against the Ming court. I'm going to be able to enjoy the cool under the big tree. Who would have thought that I didn't make much money? Many merchants even lost their lives." The bloated and fat businessman hummed in dissatisfaction.

Su Langqing's face suddenly sank. In fact, many merchant ship owners in the sea knew about the land and sea merchant ship owners who deliberately detoured Annan from the mainland and smuggled into the port of Hoi'an. In fact, many merchant ship owners in the world knew that Su Langqing had also heard of him.

"No wonder these days, land and sea ships in the harbor such as Lavag, Weigan have entered the port less and less frequently. It turned out that they were looking for the thief port of Hoi'an." Su Langqing laughed furiously.

The reason why Lavag has become prosperous during this period is largely due to the development of the harbor and the support of Nanyang Chinese merchants.

For example, Luhai originally smuggled porcelain, cotton cloth, raw silk, etc. from the mainland, and went to South China Sea to Manila. After the Ming Dynasty established the Sihai Business Company, the maritime merchants responsible for the mainland to the Nanyang area moved to Lavague and obtained a large number of wealthy merchants and merchant ships from Manila in disguise.

With port taxes and the wealth and cargo brought by the owners of Nanyang merchants, Lavague jumped from an inconspicuous harbor and became the second city in Luzon today.

Now Lu Hai actually bypassed Lavag Port and smuggled mainland goods directly to Hoi An Port. Isn’t this the life of the Ming court?

Su Langqing was so angry that he wanted to go back and talk to Liu Yu for a moment, but he soon calmed down.

After all, Minghai and Lu Hai are both Chinese merchants in Southeast Asia, so let’s have a good talk with several ship owners of Lu Hai in private. If Liu Yu knew, it would be of no benefit to the world.

"I will go to discuss Lu Hai's affairs with Wang Li. As for whom you are willing to go to Dongpu for Minghai, the Ming court wants to support the Ming people in the Dongpu area, and need Chinese merchants to go." Su Langqing looked at the Chinese merchant ship owner who was chattering there and asked.

Suddenly everyone became quiet and everyone was silent.

"Don't you all have ships at the port? What's the difference between selling to Dongpu and selling to local Ming people and going to Hoi An Port? If you lose money along the way, you can get rid of the Ming court's taxes at the end of the year." Su Langqing said.

"Besides, Dongpu and other places have a fertile land of thousands of miles, and it is a land of fish and rice. We have never been to Chinese merchants before, but it is actually a treasure land that has not been reclaimed. Now, land and sea are smuggled by the mainland, and the mountains and seas are arbitrarily. Luzon business roads have good relations with the land along the way. Far sea merchant ships enter and exit Manila, and Batavia Port is like entering the home. I am Minghai. Now Dongpu is an opportunity. Please consider it carefully." Su Langqing advised earnestly.

What the merchants said before is true. Minghai is the only one in the world who is really losing money and is unable to make ends meet. The money shop is actually controlled by the Ming court. Mingshang in the money shop gives him ten thousand courage and he dare not move. The sea trade cannot compete with the other two seas. Luzon's traditional business road is arbitrary. This is why Minghai's merchants can't wait to go to Hoi'an even if they don't know the details of Annan.

"I'll wait until the ship owner Zhao returns to Lavag before discussing." Several merchant ship owners looked at each other and turned around and left at the same time.

Several merchant ship owners were also smart people, and no one wanted to take their own boat to a strange place.

What's more, the Annanming people asked for help from the Luzon Ming court had already spread among the merchants in the four seas. Who would have nothing to do to take care of a group of poor beggars?

"I'll go." Just as Ming Shangs present left one after another, Brother Ding stood up and recommended himself to Su Langqing.

"It's so good." Su Langqing nodded. Ding Ge is also one of the leaders of Manila Chinese businessmen. With him coming forward, he will probably attract the attention of many Chinese businessmen.

This time I went to Dongpu to inquire about the situation of the wise people in Dongpu and other regions. The focus was on exploring local specialties and business roads. To explore the way to enter Dongpu, a veteran Chinese businessman would need to lead a team.

"I'll explain it first. The lord means that the Ming people in Dongpu don't have much money. The so-called maritime trade is just that we pay for the shipment. We will reduce and exempt the deduction from the Ming court's commercial tax at the end of the year, so there is no oil and water in this trip." Su Langqing did not hide it and said truthfully.

"I went to Dongpu not for the sake of silver, but just to repay the court's kindness." Brother Ding waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Hey, I was also fascinated by money and other external things. I believed in this guy, and my wife and children were separated. If it weren't for the Ming court, I would have died in the water prison." Brother Ding sighed.

"If there is no Ming court, even if we Luzon Chinese merchants are fed with wealth and food, they will make money every day. They are just cattle and sheep raised by the Spanish. Now that the people of Annanming are trapped, how can we not save them when we die?"
