Chapter 19                                                             �

Wang Zhi came from the West, which immediately aroused the cheers of a large number of Han merchants.

Wang Zhi only stayed for a moment, and the news began with Aceh and spread throughout Nanyang almost instantly.

Have different feelings for different people.

For a large number of Han merchants gathered in Aceh, this is a great news. Although the Western waterway has not been fully opened, it has at least taken an important step.

Even if you trade in the Lion Kingdom, you will make a lot more money than in Aceh, not to mention that the Lion Kingdom is a springboard that can penetrate deep into India.

As mentioned earlier, Huihui Maritime Business is not a good deal, but Daming Maritime Business is not a good person either.

However, west of Malacca, the power of the Ming maritime merchants did not have any advantage at all. With such a powerful force, Wang Zhi almost couldn't come back.

Not to mention other maritime merchants.

In fact, it is not that there are no Han merchants who dare to take risks, but the equipment and power of these maritime merchants is naturally not comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty's classical and military commanders.

With the Lion Kingdom, the destination is naturally different.

The Lion Kingdom, Sri Lanka, already belongs to India geographically, and its distance from India's ports is not farther than that of the ports within the South China Sea.

With this base, Daming Maritime Commerce naturally has greater room for development.

What are there many Hui nobles in Sri Lanka?

Most of the Hui nobles were prosperous in maritime trade, so the Han people and maritime merchants could not make themselves aristocrats?

As long as the Lion Kingdom remains unshakable, a chopstick from the Ming Dynasty Martial Arts will be deeply inserted into India. When the first chopstick comes, will the second chopstick be far away?

The power of the Ming maritime merchants has been growing and has long become a decisive force on the ocean.

However, Aceh's Hui merchants felt like they were lost.

After the Ming Dynasty occupied Nanyang, although he adhered to the intention of Taizu to treat the Hu Hu, as long as he came to surrender sincerely, there would be no restrictions. However, the Ming Dynasty did not have any restrictions on Huihui maritime merchants.

The prince has always adhered to one thing in his religious policy, which is that the New Church replaces the old religion and uses the Chinese Quran instead of the Hui Quran.

To be honest, Southeast Asia is a magical land. Any culture will be integrated with local culture here, and even the same is true for Hui and Islam.

Southeast Asian Hui and Islam are originally different from the Tianfang area and have their own characteristics. The Ming Dynasty did not object to the transformation of Hui and Islam.

Another important measure is to separate Hui Hui maritime merchants from Hui Muslims.

These two things should not be the same thing, thus reducing the influence of Huihui Maritime Businessmen.

Hui and Islam were introduced to Nanyang by sea. This is exactly what made the maritime merchants closely unite the Hui and Islamic people from all over the country and become a group that gave Ming Dynasty some headaches.

However, under the various means of the prince, all the privileges of Hui Hui maritime merchants have been recovering one by one. Hui Hui maritime merchants have been in a defeat in the face of the full competition between the Ming maritime merchants. They can only rely on the Ming maritime merchants who are not familiar with the West and can occupy some share in Aceh.

It's just Aceh.

Now the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants are familiar with the waterway from Aceh to the Lion Kingdom. I think Aceh will not be their paradise in the future. They either naturalize themselves as Han people or return to heaven.

In short, that kind is not a good choice for them.

But reality is so helpless.

Wang Zhi didn't care about these things.

He stopped in Aceh for a moment and returned to Lingzhou.

After returning to Lingzhou, before Wang Zhi got off the boat, the chubby Xian Jing had already come to greet him.

He came towards Wang Zhi a few steps, and smiled while walking, saying, "My uncle has helped me a lot? I really don't know what to do if I do this."

Wang Zhi said a few words of politeness and did not dare to offend this God of Wealth.

After almost speaking, Wang Zhi said, "The prince consort is here just right, so we need to take a look at the accounts and other things."

Xian Jing waved his hand and said, "What account? I won't take any of this money. As long as the Western Trade Road is opened, it will help me a lot."

Wang Zhi said: "No, I can't accept it."

Actually, Wang Zhi knew that Xian Jing would definitely be interesting.

The reason why Xian Jing was called the God of Wealth is that Xian Jing is very rich, and on the other hand, Xian Jing has a very unique personality.

He is generous and generous, spends money like earth.

But I never expected Xian Jing to do this.

You should know that there are any Western goods on this ship that are so fast, all of which are hard currency, gold, silver and gems, and even at a rough estimate, they are about 300,000 taels.

This is not a small number.

Although Wang Zhi is a uncle and is favored by the prince, he is a new nobleman after all and has a weak foundation.

There are tens of thousands of taels, but 300,000 taels are several times the property of Wang Zhi. How dare Wang Zhi collect it?

Xian Jing said: "How can I let my brothers suffer in vain? This person is from the court, so I naturally dare not surpass the rewards. But I am willing to contribute these goods. Thank the prince for helping us and other merchants."

Wang Zhi still felt his head buzzing.

He naturally felt Xian Jing’s implication. Although he presented the goods to the prince, he did not take any account, and almost all of them were in Wang Zhi’s mouth.

What is it?

There is too much room for getting on and off.

This is the benefit Xian Jing gave to Wang Zhi.

If Wang Zhi wants, you can take it yourself. Moreover, with the prince’s favor on Wang Zhi, there is no need to worry about any funeral.

After having so much money in front of Wang Zhi at once, Wang Zhi was also a little confused. He didn't even know when Xian Jing left.

When Wang Zhi came to his senses, Xian Jing was gone. Wang Zhi then went to Beiwangshan to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Prince.

When I arrived on Beiwang Mountain, I saw many officials waiting.

Even though Wang Zhi has the privilege to add to the thug, he still has to wait outside for the discussion to end before he can enter.

But Wang Zhi found that there was another person waiting outside, either someone else, or the governor of Lingzhou, Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe didn't have the heart, and he didn't know what to think about anymore.

He just said hello to Wang Zhi and sneaked into thought.

Wang Zhi did not talk to Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe is actually worried about leaving Shi Nanxiong.

Yang Tinghe formed a deep friendship between the Shi family and his son in an isolated city, which can be said to be a friendship between life and death. The talks in this moment determine the fate of the Shi family.

How could Yang Tinghe not worry?

But he was too worried and could do nothing.

Although the Ming Dynasty had Nanyang, the Shi family was a meritorious minister, and Shi Nanxiong was also named Nanyang.

It was very important when the Ming Dynasty had just arrived in Nanyang.

But over time, the existence of the Shi family in Nanyang was a bit annoying.

Before, the Shi family was the leader of the Han people in South China, but since the Ming Dynasty court has arrived, the only one who can lead the Han people in South China is the court.

There is the land of Old Port, which is so attractive.

It's different from Lingzhou Prefecture.

Lingzhou Prefecture is simply a prefecture established by immigrants. Most of them were immigrants, and Yang Tinghe was worried about this matter.

But the old port is different.

After Shi Chang'an regained the position of Xuanwei Envoy of the Old Port, the Shi family intentionally migrated the Han people over. Before the Ming Dynasty entered Nanyang, the old port was a rare city where Han people occupied the majority.

Even from the planning of the old port, it is also Chinese-style.

On this basis, there is no problem directly changing the Old Hong Kong Xuanwei Office to the Old Hong Kong Government.

To be honest, the prince is not very greedy for the old port. After all, in his mind, the whole world will be his in the future. From this perspective, it is a bit too urgent to convert the old port into land and return it to the current situation.

Some of it affected his reputation.

But if the prince has such determination, the others will be different, especially the vassal kings who are about to be migrated.

I don’t know how many vassal kings value the old port.

After all, the old port is the old capital of the Three Buddhas, with a profound foundation and the management of the Shi family may be somewhat deficient compared to the prefectures and counties in the mainland, but for the fiefdoms distributed to them, I don’t know where it is better.

Many vassal kings made up their minds to have a good fiefdom when they were sure that the migration to the south could not be changed. However, in their standards, where is the best fiefdom in Nanyang?

After looking at it, they felt that there was only the old port.
