Chapter 139 A juren guest!

In addition to Liang Pengfei's sleep for a long time on the first day, Liang Pengfei was so busy that he was not stuck in the ground in the next two days, because letters had been sent to the south that the manager of Na Lu and the three thousand Chinese who migrated in advance had already established a foothold on Na Masbat Island, built a small town made of fences and stones, and built a pier.

However, during this period, the natives of Luzon came to harass many times, causing dozens of casualties. In a fit of rage, the manager Lu led his men to wipe out all the native tribes within 30 miles of their base. Two thousand heads were hung on the treetops outside the newly established town, making the surrounding environment safe.

Nearly 600 prisoners were also captured, and Manager Lu naturally would not let go of such free coolies, allowing them to repair docks, build houses, and expand the size of towns every day, waiting for tens of thousands of compatriots who were still staying on Luzon Island.

However, although a portion of production and living equipment was obtained through the transaction with the Spanish Governor, it still seemed a bit miserable. Now it is needed to have a large amount of iron, agricultural tools, various daily necessities, as well as food, seeds...

In addition, during this period, Liang Daren was not idle. He besieged the pirate leaders to visit their respective nests. After a trip, he actually collected more than 300,000 taels of gold, more than 10 million taels of silver, and various treasures, antiques, and coins.

It is estimated that the total value of wealth is at least about 20 million taels. Moreover, this is only because of the monsoon. It has to retreat back to the mainland in advance and only plunder the nests of several of the pirates. According to his subordinates, the nest of the white-headed man Owen has at least 100,000 pounds of gold and nearly one million gold coins from various countries. There are countless silver and various jewelry. There are three kilns buried in total. It is said that they have made an estimate that the total value will not be less than 40 million taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, if he took the initiative to provoke such a provocation, he would get such a generous reward. If the seized warships were included, the total profits obtained by his old Liang family would be almost nearly 90 million taels of silver.

"After ninety million taels of silver, I don't know if there is so much tax in our Qing Dynasty in one year..." After careful calculation with his son, Liang Daren sat in the chair for a long time, his pupils were a little wider. It seemed that it was not a good thing to be too stimulating. Liang Pengfei was not much better, he stared at the table in his hand, silently counting the zeros behind him, and his mouth was also trembling.

Although in later generations, when gold and silver were converted into paper currency, 90 million taels of silver were estimated according to later generations, it was only equivalent to more than 10 billion yuan and less than 20 billion yuan. If it was converted into US dollars, it would be worth 20 billion to 30 billion US dollars, but in this era, it would be absolutely different.

You should know that in the 55th year of Qianlong, the tax income of the court in the court was about 50 million taels, and the Liang family obtained tax income of a country for nearly two years with the cost of dozens of casualties. It hurts to think about it.

"Mom, our old Liang family is really big this time." Liang Daguan's hand trembled with cigarettes, his mouth was trembling, and his words seemed a little incoherent when he spoke, as if he had seen the white radish planted in his own vegetable field turn into wild ginseng overnight.

"Dad, come on, take a sip of tea, don't be excited. These are just numbers on paper." Liang Pengfei was so scared that he was so scared that he quickly brought a cup of tea to him, and he patted the official Liang back and advised him. "Don't forget, we haven't gone to the old lair of the white-headed man Owen, if someone robs him first..."

"Who bastard dares to fight me? I will destroy him first." When Master Liang heard Liang Pengfei's words, his eyes shone everywhere, and a powerful and powerful aura suddenly emanated, with a look of fierceness and barbarity.

Seeing his father's attitude of trying to use force by cheating, Liang Pengfei was speechless. However, Liang Daren finally got rid of his emotions just now and listened to his son planning the future of the old Liang family.

The development of the central Luzon archipelago, the construction of the base of King Crab Island, and the expansion of the Liang family's business were all difficult. After not much effort, the official Liang found that under his son's plan, the more than 30 million taels that had just been caught in his hand that had not yet touched the heat, was like splashing water, asking his son to scoop out one basin after another.

But similarly, when Liang Pengfei told Mr. Liang that on the island of Masbat, where the Liang family had already established its foothold, according to the proven situation, there were at least thousands of tons of gold mines there, which was at least 20 million taels of gold reserves, this was still a conservative estimate.

After hearing the news, Master Liang couldn't speak for a long time. He no longer had any questions about his son's plan. He threw the matter to Liang Pengfei and patted his butt. The next morning, Ye, who had a little blue eyes, came to ask Liang Pengfei what was wrong with his father. He didn't sleep all night, and was alone there to have fun.

Liang Pengfei dared not tell the truth, so he had to talk nonsense about his son being too wise and powerful. His wife married two people in one breath and made her father crazy and so she covered up her nonsense.

In addition to these things that both make Liang Pengfei happy and troublesome, there was also news from the Crab King Island that the Venetian Chinese businessman was not bragging. He renovated the island by himself and guided the craftsmen after nearly three months of training. After nearly three months of training, he actually made glass with the quartz sand produced in Guangdong, and the samples had been presented to Liang Pengfei.

"The transparency is still a bit poor, but Mr. Romes said that if he could give him more time, he could do better. After all, the impurity content of each quartz sand ore is different, which requires a lot of experiments to make a more perfect finished product." A manager stood in front of Liang Pengfei and reported respectfully.

Liang Pengfei put down the glass, suppressed his joy, and nodded: "Tell Mr. Mai, don't be impatient. I have time. In addition, money, raw materials, people, and whatever I lack. By the way, tell Mr. Mai again that I am doing his business. Since his hometown is in Yangjiang, it is much simpler. However, because he is a Chinese, if he does not leave a braid, he will be discovered after he goes ashore, and he may cause a big stir. So, let him wait more and tie his braids, and be more secure."

"Okay, young master, I wonder if you have any instructions, young master." The manager asked again after he wrote down Liang Pengfei's words.

"How are those prisoners of war now?" Liang Pengfei sniffed a cigar and sucked it beautifully. He finally had a hint of spirit on his tired face. He almost didn't sleep all night last night, and early in the morning, the manager from Crab Island started arguing. There was no way. Liang Daguan took Liang Pengfei at home for the past two days to rush to the surrounding areas of Guangdong to see his own business. In addition, Liang Pengfei was not at ease with the matter about glass to leave it to others for handling.

"It's okay, those Spanish prisoners of war are still obedient. The projects we assigned to them can be completed on time and in quantity. By the way, according to your instructions, we distinguished them and found some talents, some of whom were shipbuilding, some made a living by making wine, some were tailors, some were gardeners, doctors, and one was a chef who was now serving the Sister Maria. As for those talents, the young people had assigned them to their needs positions and paid them wages. The treatment was much better than that of ordinary prisoners of war." The manager replied with a smile.

"But those pirates are different. Although most of them have accepted their fates now, some are not very obedient. A few days ago, the master went back to the island and heard about it, he threw more than 30 of them into the sea... Now, they are all honest. And our King of Crab Island can be said to be the same for a day,"

"Okay, it's done well, my father did it right, I can't be polite to those people. By the way, those pirates who know how to draw have ever drawn maps of the sea areas they are familiar with." Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"According to your instructions, all the pirates who were drawing were detained separately, and we asked them to draw a chart of them, and then we checked them out. In this way, although these pirates still play some tricks, those sea areas are no longer unfamiliar to us. Although the Spanish naval officers are proud, they do have a set of things. Many things are unheard of, and they really benefit a lot."

The two were talking about the current situation of Crab King Island, but they heard Bai Shusheng report that a guest came to visit. "It is a juren who said he wanted to apply for our teacher. According to your instructions, we only accept the lost scholars or translators here, but he just refused. The clan was helpless in charge of affairs and did not dare to offend too much, so he asked him to come to the mansion to find the master. The master said that he could just ask the man to find you."

"Since that's the case, let him come in." Liang Pengfei stood up and walked out of the room: "Go to the front hall to meet this juren."

Liang Pengfei sat in the front hall. He had just taken two sips of tea when a middle-aged man in a long plain green jacket walked into the hall. After seeing Liang Pengfei, he did not salute. Instead, he looked at Liang Pengfei with interest.
