The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Because the Ming army attacked so quickly, although the Qing Dynasty did not have time to evacuate the city of Nanjing, it also ruined Nanjing into a mess.

When Wang Chen, who was in charge of the capital relocation, first stepped into Nanjing, he couldn't help but shed tears when he looked at the ruined capital city by the Tatars.

Fortunately, the people of Nanjing are still there, and the main buildings are still there. Now, after a month of emergency repairs and construction, the capital has finally returned to what it should be.

However, it is easy to restore the people's livelihood in the city, but the huge imperial city is in trouble.

After Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, although the six buildings in Nanjing were preserved, they were also turned into nursing homes.

Some ministers who have retired from Beijing in their old age, or who have been demoted and marginalized are crowded here.

Although the rank of these people is still there, except for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, most of them have become empty duties. Naturally, no one cares about the maintenance of the imperial city. In addition, the emperor may not come to Nanjing once in several years. He comes and goes. The imperial city has become semi-abandoned.

Later, although the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty rebuilt the Wuying Palace, other palaces were still in a semi-abandoned state. Coupled with the destruction during the Tatar occupation, most places in the entire imperial city now need to be renovated or even demolished and rebuilt.

It is naturally impossible to complete such a large-scale project in one month, but in order to make Emperor Zhu Da's wedding a decent one, and in order to let the small foreign countries who came to celebrate see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chen gathered all the craftsmen and hired a large number of people to invest in the renovation of the main palaces, Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall.

Now, within a month, these halls have been renovated, and festive red decorations have been hung everywhere.

……

"Oh God! Is this the imperial city of the Ming Empire?"

With the vermilion gate, golden copper nails, a 30-meter-wide moat, and tall city walls as far as the eye can see, Earl Thomas's wide mouth can already fit an egg in.

Although he has not seen the scene inside the imperial city, the majesty of Chengtian Gate is enough to short-circuit his limited brain capacity.

Think again of their Spanish cities.

Thomas thought about it and there was only one word that came to his mind: "shabby!"

In fact, after their group arrived in Nanjing, their wide-open mouths had hardly been closed.

Thomas and his Spanish expeditionary force have been working for the black-hearted emperor since they arrived in Southeast Asia.

Because they often transport the natives caught in the Central Islands to Xinjing for settlement, they spend more time in Xinjing and know Xinjing relatively well.

Facing Xinjing, which already has a population of 40 million and is still expanding, they have always believed that such a scale is second to none in the entire world.

But now, they discovered that compared with Nanjing, Xinjing is really small and pitiful!

In fact, the Spaniards can’t be blamed for this.

After all, during this period, there were only two cities in Europe with a population of more than 30, London and Paris.

Madrid, the largest city in Spain, has a population of just over 10.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for these small country people to be shocked when they see this kind of city with a population of one million for the first time.

"Your Excellency, Earl Thomas, I heard that the Ming Emperor used mithril coins to hire your army to capture the natives for them.

After such a long period of time, His Excellency the Earl must have accumulated a batch of Mithril coins in his hand. I wonder if His Excellency the Earl is interested in selling part of the Mithril coins in his hand to our Dutch East India Company. The price is negotiable. "

At this time, in the Dutch team not far away from Thomas and his party, a senior executive of the Dutch East India Company came over and spoke.

Naturally, these Dutch people also came to attend the wedding of Emperor Zhu Da.

Although they suffered losses again and again at the hands of Ming Dynasty, it can even be said that they were much worse than the Spaniards.

But in the Nanyang region now, Ming Dynasty is the boss.

If the Dutch want to live a peaceful life, they don't dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, and by reselling Ming Dynasty's magical products all over the world, they will be able to earn back the money extorted by the Ming Dynasty from others sooner or later. (Then continue to be blackmailed)

Thomas looked at the Dutchman with white cement on his face warily and refused without hesitation.

"Sir Elro, it seems that your Dutch East India Company's information is not accurate. His Majesty the Ming Emperor paid us dragon yuan instead of Mithril coins. How could the Ming Emperor easily take out such precious Mithril coins?"

Elro frowned when he heard this. He was pretty sure that these Spaniards had a batch of Mithril coins in their hands, but the Spanish upstart in front of him obviously had no intention of sharing the Mithril coins.

"If your lordship changes his mind, you can come to us at any time." He said with renewed smile.

"Don't worry, Sir Elro, with the deep friendship between our two countries, if I get the Mithril coins, I will definitely inform you." Thomas responded with a smile.

Netherlands and Spain have deep friendship?

Then this friendship is really unique.

If fighting means kissing and scolding means loving, then the 80 years of war between the two countries is indeed a sign of deep friendship.

Although the official war is now over, on the vast sea, between the two countries, today I will rob you of a treasure ship, and tomorrow I will sink a privateer of yours. Things have never stopped.

Now that the relationship between Jose and Spain is mentioned, it is self-evident what Thomas's attitude is.

Elro did not answer, but walked away with a gloomy expression, but in his heart he was already thinking about how to deal with these Spaniards.

Thomas stood there and smiled disdainfully.

"You want Mithril coins? How is that possible!"

Because Emperor Zhu Da intended to reduce the number of mithril products flowing into the market, mithril products have been in a serious shortage of supply in the market.

Its price is also extremely stable, well, it continues to rise steadily.

Although the reference price of mithril set by the Ming Dynasty is still 10 times the same weight of gold, the value of a mithril product on the black market has climbed to 120 times the same weight of gold.

Holding these mithril coins in your hands is like giving birth to babies, becoming more and more valuable.

How could Thomas sell it, let alone sell it to the Dutch.

He is now extremely grateful that he took over this business.

Spain and the Ming Dynasty were supposed to be enemies, but the kind and generous Emperor Ming Dynasty not only resolved the war, but also made them a lot of money.

Now he no longer worries about the tasks assigned to him by the Queen Mother.

According to the current situation, when all the natives in the Central Islands are cleared, he will not only be able to save enough money to cope with royal tasks, but he can even make a fortune privately.

"Hey, the natives of the Central Islands will eventually be captured. I just don't know if His Majesty the Ming Emperor wants people from other places. For example, those damn Dutch are quite suitable as slaves..."
