Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Do you think this piece of jade is okay?" Zhu Yuxi appeared in the living room of the old house, and handed over the silk package in her hand.

Hao Guangming caught it, but felt his hands sink, and couldn't help saying, "It's not light."

Put it on the table next to it and open it, and you can see a half-foot-square emerald rough.

To be precise, it should be jade embryos.

Because the stones above have been cut and polished, leaving only the jade embryos inside.

Hao Guangming also did some research on jadeite during this time, seeing that the jade embryo is quite transparent, although there are few impurities, he couldn't help smiling and said: "It should be of high ice type, and a piece as big as a bracelet can be sold for More than 50. Your piece is half a foot square, and it can be sold for at least tens of millions."

Although Hao Guangming was happy, he was not very excited.

The same is true for Aimee Zhu.

Just because making money is easy for couples these days.

Not to mention Daming, in modern society, Hao Guangming wanted to make millions or tens of millions, but it was just a matter of selling more jade and gems.

Speaking of which, the more than 1000 million that Hao Guangming earned by selling Ming Dynasty jade a few years ago still has several million left. According to his previous spending speed, he can still use it for a few more years.

The reason why Auntie Zhu was asked to deliver some jade pendants and precious stones recently was that Hao Guangming was planning to accumulate a lot of funds so that he could invest in some industries that would be helpful to the two of them and Daming in the future.

Take, for example, the biopharmaceutical industry.

First of all, in the next hundred years of modern times, biopharmaceuticals can be regarded as an industry with great potential.Investing in this aspect is a steady profit.

Secondly, relevant research can solve various diseases that plague human beings, and even extend human life span.It can help Aimee Zhu, Aimee Zhu, and some important people in Daming to maintain their health and prolong their lifespan.

However, biopharmaceutical research is notorious for burning money. Even if you want to participate in the investment without taking the lead, if you want to have a certain influence in a related research institution, the investment must be calculated in the billions.

Therefore, Hao Guangming is going to spend a few years disguising himself as a rock gambler who has the knack of blocking doors, to accumulate hundreds of millions of funds.

Then invest in jade and gemstone-related industries abroad, and use some resources from Daming to increase the funds in hand to billions.

As for the tens of billions level, he has not considered it for the time being - it is too difficult to accumulate funds to the tens of billions level only by investing in jade and gemstones.

After chatting with Aunt Zhu for a few words about jade, Hao Guangming took the jade embryo upstairs and hid it in the safe.

Upstairs has already hidden more than a dozen pieces of jade embryos, large and small. Once a certain amount has been accumulated, Hao Guangming will pick a time to go to Yunnan to play stone gambling...
When they went downstairs, Hao Guangming saw that Concubine Zhu was not there, so he asked, "Where is Concubine Zhu?"

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "She said that today is a rare day off, and she also wants to go out to play all afternoon, and come back after dinner."

The two sisters couldn't walk five feet away from the place where the black jade ring was broken, so Aunt Zhu wanted to go out for a stroll, so she had to go to Daming's side.

Knowing that Concubine Zhu was not there, Hao Guangming picked Concubine Zhu up by the waist and walked upstairs.

"It's broad daylight, what are you going to do?" Auntie Zhu asked knowingly, but she didn't struggle.

Hao Guangming said: "Honey, this opportunity is rare."

"Can you wait for me to change clothes?"

"No, I think my wife's clothes are just right!"

···
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Hao Guangming and Zhu Wei were busy making dinner and chatting in the kitchen.

"The vassal kings saw that the imperial court intended to take Lu Song back, and they all began to urge the vassal's overseas affairs. Even that stinky boy Cijiong followed suit, as if he wanted to stay away from me."

About Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Cizhao, Zhu Yuxi said more than once.

Emotionally, she obviously hopes to keep the two of them in Daming territory, or even the capital, so that she can take care of them more conveniently.

But rationally, she knew that her two younger brothers had to be set as an example in order to implement the closure of feudal vassals overseas.

Hao Guangming knew that Auntie Zhu was only saying a few words out of habit, so he skipped the last sentence and asked, "Then Daming really wants to collect Lu Song? After the collection, will some areas be set aside as feudal lands?"

Auntie Zhu put the washed vegetables in the basket and said, "I do have this idea, but even if you confer feudal vassals in Lu Song, you won't confer too many feudal vassals, maybe three or five."

Hao Guangming thought for a while, and said, "Even if we target the Greater Luzon Islands, it's not too big, it's still close to Ming Dynasty, and it's more suitable for direct rule.

Therefore, I think there are too many five, so I will seal three for demonstration first. "

Auntie Zhu hugged Hao Guangming's waist from behind, leaned into his ear and smiled softly, "Okay, then listen to Mr. Xiang."

"Oh!" Aimee Zhu's crisp voice suddenly came from the living room, "Sister Huang, brother-in-law, are you ashamed?"

Auntie Zhu blushed, and quickly let go of Hao Guangming.

···
In September of the fifth year of Zhaowu, the Ming Dynasty continued to increase its troops in Manila on the grounds that Spain had repeatedly massacred foreigners in Luzon. Using Manila as a base, it began to attack other parts of Luzon Island.

Although the Spaniards used local natives as minions and recruited Japanese ronin as mercenaries, they were still defeated by the Ming army and lost their cities and territories.

By December 25th in the fifth year of Zhaowu, as the Ming army captured Spain's last stronghold on the Bicol Peninsula (southeast of Luzon Island), the entire Luzon Island initially fell under Ming's control.

The remaining Spanish presence in Greater Luzon retreated to the Visayas and Mindanao regions.

On December 26th, Zhu Yuxi held a military aircraft meeting to discuss with all the military ministers on many issues in Luzon Island.

Inside the Hall of Martial Arts.

A topographic map of later generations of Luzon Island is hung on the large screen, on which are marked and written the cities (or castles) and strongholds established by the Spaniards in Luzon Island before, and some Tufan tribes that Ming Dynasty knew about information.

Secretary Zheng Sen was ordered to represent the Secretariat to participate in this military aircraft meeting and to give some information.

"Everyone, please see that there are currently seven cities in Luzon Island, all of which were owned by the Spaniards before. In addition, the Spaniards also have fifteen colonial strongholds in Luzon Island.

Whether it is a city or a stronghold, they are basically located in coastal areas or beside important rivers.

In other words, the Spanish occupation of Luzon Island was point-based, while their rule was fragmented. "

Zheng Sen's words contained a lot of words from later generations, but all the ministers of military aircraft were used to them, and there was nothing incomprehensible.

"My Ming Dynasty expelled the Spaniards from Luzon Island and took over these cities and strongholds, so the occupation of Luzon Island is also a point. As for the rule, it has not yet been carried out, and it cannot even be called a fragmented rule. .

Nowadays, the people in Luzon Island are mainly local natives. Among them, there are not only the uncivilized ones living in the deep mountains and jungles, but also the familiar ones influenced by Muslim and Christian culture.

Then there are foreign nationals from various countries. Among them, the largest number of foreign nationals are from my Ming Dynasty, followed by Japanese countries, and thirdly from Western countries.

The Spaniards have colonized Luzon Island for a hundred years, but they have not had much effect on the rule of the natives. Basically, they mainly focus on expulsion and massacre.

Although my Ming Dynasty's ruling strategy is not as brutal as the Spaniards, it is impossible to rule Shengpan in a short period of time.

Therefore, our Secretariat suggested that the early rule of Luzon Island might as well learn from the Spaniards, or adopt the model of governing Dongfan Island.

Use the city to link the surrounding strongholds to carry out point-based possession and fragmented regional governance.

This is true whether it is to establish prefectures or counties, or to designate land and seal feudal vassals in the future. "

Second more.
