The old man just nodded slightly and said no more.

Since Chen Ande returned to Dongpu with the assistance given to Dongpu Mingren by the Ming court, the Mingren from Dongpu have been cheering.

In order to express his gratitude to the Luzon Ming court, Chen Shangchuan specially asked Chen Ande to go to Luzon again.

Shortly after Chen Ande left Dongpu, news came out that Guangnan wanted to send troops to Dongpu to suppress the Ming people.

The Dongpu merchants and messengers fled to Luzon and were no longer willing to return to Dongpu.

And Chen Ande is over 60 years old, but the old man who is in his twilight years can't save anything even if he returns to Dongpu, so he has to stay in Luzon.

Now the Ming court has established a county community in Luzon, and a large number of Nanyang Chinese have come to Luzon.

As the population of Han people continued to grow under the control of the Ming court, the number of women and children gradually increased.

The Ming court then opened academies, martial arts halls, etc. in Lavag and Weigan, and it was jointly organized by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and other private parties. Chen Ande also devoted himself to folk education.

Unlike the Qing court, Liu Yu directly abolished the eight-legged essay and began to introduce Western learning, such as astronomy, geography, medicine, and foreign languages ​​such as Dutch and Spanish.

In order to allow the Ming people in Luzon to open their eyes to the world.

Chen Ande also wrote a detailed account of traveling to the West, writing down what he saw, heard, encountered in Europe in detail, the countries, characters and lifestyles he had in his life for students from various academies in Luzon.

The lack of civil servants in the Luzon court was an unfortunate event, but also a blessing.

This made the Ming court had to appoint local foreign officials when managing the land of Luzon and when establishing county and community, many official positions in the Ministry of Revenue even entrust merchants from all over the world to serve as businessmen.

However, the lack of civil servants also made the Luzon Ming court uninfluenced by Confucian culture.

While introducing Western astronomy, geography and medicine, the Ming court made extremely smooth progress.

Now the Ming court and private forces such as the Sihai Commercial Bank have jointly established a college, with a total of 200 students in each period.

In academy, there is no need to learn the useless eight-legged essay, but to learn Western astronomy, geography, medicine, Dutch and other foreign languages.

Because it was jointly established with Sihai, the academy even set up a business school.

The Ming court not only established academies for the Han people, but even set up schools specifically for local Tubangfan people.

It is also stipulated that every national tribe aged 13 to 16 must study in the schools of each county and community.

The descendants of the chiefs and nobles of various national states can even enter the academy to study with the Ming students.

The establishment of academies was an important symbol of the Ming Dynasty's new education in Luzon.

Students studying in academy will enter the officialdom, and will push the gears of history with a more inclusive attitude and rich knowledge, allowing the Ming court to embark on a journey that has never been seen in history.

"I am really surprised that I am willing to let Nanyang Company open a shopping mall in Luzon." Gore looked at Liu Yu with admiration.

Everyone knows who the big man behind the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is.

Now, the trade in sea and mountain roads in Luzon is almost monopolized by the world, and a steady stream of silver flows into the pockets of the four major commercial banks.

Now Liu Yu actually asked Nanyang Company to open a shopping mall in Luzon. Isn’t this robbing money from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?

If the Ming court had the purpose of suppressing the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, it would be understandable.

But the problem is that the big man behind the Four Seas is Liu Yu himself. Isn’t this a slash of his right-hand man?

Not only was a wealthy businessman from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, but even Gore didn't understand why Liu Yu did this.

"Why?" Liu Yu smiled.

"In the past, the generals of our Ming court had to choose the Su family's cloth shop to buy the Su family's cotton cloth. However, the Su family's cotton cloth was raising the price of cotton cloth because the land and sea merchant ships reduced the raw silk cotton from the mainland. When Western wool velvet flowed into Lavague, the wealthy businessmen in the city all loved all kinds of Western wool velvets, which eventually forced the Su family's cloth shop to improve the fabric, and even the price gradually decreased to the normal range."

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Sir Gore also understood that Liu Yu had good intentions.

"You are not a Han people. I don't know that we Han people prefer to guard the one-acre and three-point land in front of us, and never pay attention to the land outside." Liu Yu shook his head, his expression a little complicated.

"As for the Ming people in Nanyang, most of them are farmers who have lost their land and cannot survive in the coastal areas of China. Fishermen come to Nanyang to make a living. Even Chinese businessmen who come to Luzon to do business, most of them have no money to make in mainland China. In the end, they have no choice but to bring their family property Nantou Luzon, hoping to get an opportunity here."

"If they could live comfortably in China, do you think they would come to Southeast Asia at all costs?" Liu Yu looked at Sir Gore and asked back.

"No." Gore nodded.

"In the past, Chinese in Luzon lived under the Spanish butcher's knife, and they lived a trembling life and did not dare to go beyond half a step."

"When the Ming court occupied the northern part of Luzon, the Ming people who were protected gradually became bolder and monopolized the trade in northern part of Luzon with force and silver. In the past, what did the Spanish merchants do, and now the merchants in the four seas do."

"Some of the chiefs of the Tubon even ran over to complain to me, and the merchants of the court seized their land." Liu Yu stood up and walked to the window of the hall, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window.

"How do you think I should tell these merchants that they only care about the silver in front of them, guarding the one-and-three-point land in front of them, just like pigs eating in the same pen day after day. If you don't put a few more pigs in, it won't go outside to grab food."

Sir Gore nodded undeniably at this.

"As long as Marco Polo's writing, you are a place full of gold in the East. In order to get rich overnight, countless bankrupt people, refugees, and gamblers from Europe boarded the ocean-going treasure ship and came to the East. During this period, many of them died of illness and fighting with pirates."

"If these bankrupt gamblers could live comfortably in Europe, then Europa's merchant ship would not reach every corner of the world." Sir Gore said frankly.

"So you want our merchants and goods in Nanyang to be circulated in the Luzon market, forcing you Ming merchants to open up new markets and even seize food from our Nanyang merchants." Sir Gore laughed.

"But pig, this metaphor is inappropriate."

"The merchants of our Nanyang company are vicious wolves, and the Chinese merchants in all over the world are just a group of pitiful sheep." Sir Gore laughed, revealing his contempt and disdain for Chinese merchants in his words.

Liu Yu does not deny that Nanyang Company is indeed an insurmountable peak for today's Sihai Business Company.

But the road is still far away, and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce will eventually leave Luzon and even Nanyang.

Insert the commercial flags of the four seas into every piece of land.

In Luzon and even in Nanyang, it is not a collision and tempering to allow merchants from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce to compete with merchants from Nanyang Company.

If the Sihai Business Company does not want to be defeated by the Nanyang Company, then the merchants will inevitably learn the trade and business management of Western merchants and will launch more affordable goods.
