After the Jiuzhou Army captured three strongholds of the Westerners in the Spice Islands, the Nanyang Fleet and the Zhili Fleet were still patrolling in the Nanyang to prevent the Westerners from counterattacking.

Now, the entire Nanyang is basically shipped by the Jiuzhou Army and the Chinese merchants. As soon as the Chinese merchants learned that the Jiuzhou Army had captured these places, they followed them to seize the market. For them, this was the best opportunity to seize the Nanyang market. They supported this war to a certain extent in order to make profits from it. There is no war for no reason in this world, and Chu Yun cannot start a war with his own strength. Instead, they tied the merchants and overseas Chinese to the warships conquering Nanyang, so that they could conquer Nanyang at a relatively small price.

Wuhu businessman Wang Changyuan was one of the first merchants to follow Chu Yun. He was deeply trusted by Chu Yun and also gained great benefits from trade. After conquering Manila this time, he soon brought a group of members of the Far East trading company to visit Mr. Lin, who is well-known among the Manila merchants.

"Old Lin, we want to select a group of honest and honest people from Manila merchants to join our Far East Trading Company and do things according to the company's regulations." Wang Changyuan explained his purpose.

"In the past few years, I have heard of Far East Trading Company, but I don't know what I know. Is it the same as the East India Company?" When the Far East Trading Company had not arrived in Nanyang, members of the Far East Trading Company came to Nanyang for trading. However, these members basically traded with Chinese merchants in Manila in their personal names, so Mr. Lin didn't know much about Far East Trading Company.

"It's not the same thing. East India Company has its own fleet, and Far East Trading Company does not. The company exists to uniformly formulate regulations and taxation. Another thing is very meaningful. There is an integrity system there. All members of Far East Trading Company have files in the company. If there is a breach of contract, they will be blacklisted. Moreover, the transactions between Far East Trading Company can be liquidated through Jiuzhou Bank, which is much more convenient." Wang Changyuan said to Mr. Lin and some Manila Chinese merchants around him.

Next to Mr. Lin, there was a businessman with scars on his face and dark skin. He said to Wang Changyuan: "It was my impulse that destroyed the plan of the Jiuzhou Army to cooperate with each other. If the Jiuzhou Army does not dislike it, please allow me to join the Far East Trading Company."

Wang Changyuan looked at the man and thought roughly who he was: "Is this shopkeeper Wang who led the Manila righteous man to resist the Spanish colonial soldiers?"

"Shame... I had implicated a lot of people at the beginning." When Manager Wang talked about this, his expression was a little dim.

"Later, when our Jiuzhou Army blocked the port of Manila, if you hadn't surrounded Manila with the indigenous people of Luzon, they could have lasted for a longer period of time. At least if the merits and demerits were offset, no one would blame you."

"The reason why I invited you to join the Far East Trading Company this time is certainly not that it does not benefit you at all, but that you only make you abide by the terms of the Far East Trading Company. We want to work with you to develop resources on Luzon Island and build plantations." Wang Changyuan said.

Many Manila Chinese merchants suddenly realized and thought about it carefully. The most profitable trade on Luzon was monopolized by the Spanish. Now that the Spanish, who were always high and arrogant, has become a prisoner of the Jiuzhou Army, there is a blank space in Luzon.

"Are you saying that we can develop iron ore, silver ore, etc.? Does Far East Trading Company still have such great power?" said Mr. Lin, who has been in the shopping mall for a long time.

"Although the metal mines are indeed hosted by Far East Trading Company, it is a monopoly of the government. We private businessmen can open spice plantations, rubber plantations, sugar plantations, and farms and fishery farms. The benefits are extremely rich. Especially after the Western spice plantations were controlled by the Jiuzhou Army, if we sell these spice plantations and then produce spices and sell them to Westerners, the profit can reach 300% and 400%. How much money do you think we can make?" Wang Changyuan said.

"What you are talking about is that although we in China are not short of spices, Westerners are very eager for this kind of thing. We can completely kill them." Mr. Lin and a group of Manila Chinese merchants said.

Wang Changyuan smiled with satisfaction: "This is the main purpose of my visit to Nanyang. Members of our Far East Trading Company jointly set prices. I also have to go to the Malay Peninsula, Java and other places to join forces with local Chinese merchants to unify the price of spices sold to Westerners. They are the rich people. In comparison, these indigenous people on Luzon have no silver, but they can serve our plantations as cheap labor."

Speaking of this, Wang Changyuan seemed to think of something: "Yes, there is a row of Western prisoners in the Jiuzhou Army. He said that after pacifying the indigenous kingdom of the Spice Islands, it will become a free labor force. I wonder if we can buy them at a low price as the labor force of our spice plantation. Don't they want to get spices? Then let them work in the spice plantation."

Mr. Lin, Zhanggui Wang and others looked at each other after hearing what Wang Changyuan said. The Jiuzhou Army was too cruel. It turned Westerners into free labor, which was similar to what Spanish colonial soldiers did to the indigenous people of Luzon.

However, it was a bit exciting to think that the colonial rulers who stood on their heads and acted as a mighty person who became the object they could call at will.

"Okay, we've done it!" Mr. Lin, shopkeeper Wang and other Manila merchants agreed. The merchants are pursuing profits, and there is no reason to monopolize the spice trade in the spice islands with the Far East Trading Company!

With the huge Chinese merchant group, the Far East Trading Company, monopolized spice trade, local indigenous merchants could only engage in lower-end production, collection, and collection activities downstream, while the distribution rights were in the hands of the Chinese merchants. The tariff rights were formed by the Jiuzhou Army, forming a huge industrial chain. Westerners were expelled. If they wanted to buy spices this time, they had to buy them from the Far East Trading Company, and they had to accept the tax rates specified by the Jiuzhou Army and the prices specified by the Far East Trading Company.

After Wang Changyuan visited the Chinese businessmen in Manila, he went to the Malay Peninsula, Java Island, East Timor and other places to unite local Chinese businessmen to re-establish the economic order in Nanyang.
