The first thousand two hundred and thirty-six chapters of undisguised greed

"The patriarch is here in front of him." A carriage slowly approached the Spanish Governor's Mansion.

The carriage driver had already seen the Governor's Mansion building in front of him, so he whispered to the old patriarch of the Lu family inside the curtain.

The old patriarch who was over 60 years old in the carriage was sleeping with his legs crossed. He heard the coachman outside say that it had arrived, so he opened his eyes.

"Captain, what should we do now?" said the carriage driving.

"Get out of the car, let's go over." Clan Chief Lu held the handrail of the carriage and stood up from the carriage. The coachman felt the movement inside, then lifted the curtain and reached out to help the old clan leader.

It is still a little far from the Governor's Mansion, about two hundred meters away, but the old patriarch is about to come down to walk.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because the Ming people have a very low status here, and even this old patriarch, who is well-known among the Ming people, dare not ride a carriage in front of the Spanish Governor's Mansion.

The rules of those Spanish are quite good. If the people inside are unhappy because of the carriage, it would be a sin.

So although this patriarch Lu was a little old and had poor legs, he still insisted on walking into the Governor's Mansion with a crutch.

Seeing the old patriarch showing his importance to the meeting in front of Koquera, he specially put on the new silk clothes prepared for the New Year, a green extra-member suit, which was very exquisite.

In order to please the governor, he brought several boxes of gifts.

These gifts were not made by their Lu family themselves, but by those merchants from Luzon. However, this contribution will fall on the reputation of their Lu family.

It's really fun to use other people's money to accomplish your own things.

With the help of the driver who was driving the car, Clan Lu led seven or eight men dressed in Ming slaves to carry gifts to the Governor's Mansion.

He was stopped by four Spanish guards holding muskets in front of the gate of the Governor's Palace.

"Mingren! This is not the place you should come!" A Spanish soldier pointed his musket at Mingren's team and shouted irritably.

Facing this black gun, the few wise men present were uneasy.

If something is wrong and the Spaniard opens fire, it will be really beaten in vain. If it dies, it will be dead, and no one will complain to them.

So these wise men dared not move, for fear that the firearm would suddenly spit out flames.

Even when the knowledgeable leader Lu saw his firearm, he felt his throat dry and swallowed. This thing was a murderous weapon, and he could make a bloody hole in his mouth. His old bone would be wiped to death.

I saw him move his crutch unnaturally, move to the side and avoid the gun.

Then he bowed to the Spanish soldier with a smile and said, "This official, please inform me, that means that the representative of the Lu family, Lu Yiheng, is asking for a meeting."

The old patriarch said authentic Spanish, just like a native Spanish.

But this is also a natural thing. He makes a living under the Spanish. If he doesn't know some Spanish, how can he deal with the Spanish? How can he do this business so big?

Therefore, there are still some brushes that can make the Lu family the best in Manila, and this is very authentic in Spanish.

You can tell by looking at the expression on the face of this Spanish soldier. The blue eyes were astonished. It was the first time he had been here for so many years that he had heard a Mingren speak Spanish so well. If he didn't look at the characteristics of human nature such as skin color and hair, he would think that the Spaniard was standing in front of him.

This fluent Spanish brings many but many of them to the leader of Lu. Many Spanish people will also change their attitude towards him when they hear this fluent Spanish.

There is a foreigner who can actually say what they say, and it is so standard, so naturally it will feel a bit innate.

Sure enough, Clan Chief Lu saw the change in the eyes of this Spanish soldier, and he saw that he was not as cold as before when he took the musket.

But just doing this is not enough. I saw that the leader of the clan Lu skillfully placed his hand on the Spanish: "Lao I and others came at the invitation of the Governor, and I hope this military master will inform you."

The Spanish soldiers felt their hands sinking, and then felt the coldness and hardness, and looked down and looked at it slightly.

Well, it's pretty yellow, hard, and round guys, several of them stacked in their hands to form a stick-like object. It's a good thing to use force to not soften even if you try hard.

Since ancient times, this thing has been a perfect move. Whether in the Ming Dynasty or here, this thing has been very useful.

Sure enough, I saw this Spanish soldier laughing. Although he really looked down on these wise people, he would not look down on the hard things in his hands. This is the thing with the most say.

"Let the muskets down, they are not enemies." The Spanish soldiers greeted the three colleagues beside them, and then ordered the patriarch Lu: "You wait here, don't make any misunderstandings!" Then he turned around and walked inside.

The remaining three Spanish soldiers also put away their muskets. In fact, they were really not worried about what Mingren would do to harm them.

They all knew that the Ming people were very honest, even more honest than those native monkeys, and that the honesty of the Japanese people could compare with the Ming people.

And there are many gold coins, which they really see.

With more than a dozen gold coins, the people of the Ming Dynasty are really rich.

The three of them showed a lot of greed in their eyes, and they didn't even hide it, just standing in front of Chief Lu, showing their greed heart like this.

But the leader of tribe Lu could only nod his head with a smile on his face. Under this greed, although he had goose bumps on his back, he could only bear it.

This is the sadness of the Ming people in Luzon. They have been accepting the oppression of the Spanish. The oppression deepens little by little, and the Ming people give in little by little.

If you give in until you have no way out, that is the time when the wealth in the hands of Ming people gathers the most, that is, the commonly known as leeks have grown fat and big.

At this time, the Spaniards would start harvesting plans and clean up these Ming people, so that the wealth they had belonged to the Spaniards.

Decades have been a cycle of reincarnation. Now, it’s almost time to go, and it’s the season for harvest.

Looking at the attitudes of these Spanish people, you will understand that they have no slightest disguised their greed.

This is already a blatant reminder that I want to steal you.

But the Ming people were still lucky and stole the bell, thinking that they could escape. They felt that those Spanish should not be so unethical.
