"In addition to buying tea from your China, we can also buy tea from India and other places. As for your porcelain, we have also mastered the corresponding technology and can produce porcelain similar to you in Europe." Castle said unyieldingly.

"What you are talking about in India should be the Mughal Empire. Although the tea flavor there is stronger than that of our Chinese tea, it is not as good as that of our Chinese tea. In the West, you can only drink it by the bottom of the country. From the kings to the declining nobles, we all use our Chinese tea as the best, and the profit is hundreds or thousands of times that of the Mughal Empire. The porcelain they pursue is also the porcelain produced by our Chinese, not the counterfeit goods you produce in Europe. Don't think that we are far away in the East, so you don't know the situation in your Western market. We are also beginning to understand your situation." Liu Wang said.

Castle was silent for a moment: "You are right, we cannot leave your goods for the time being. But these merchants cannot be let go easily after all. I want to ask the Governor to let him make a decision."

Liu Wang nodded: "Okay."

After Liu Wang took a mission to Manila, the defenders of Manila were forced to ask for instructions from Akunya, the governor who was still in Batavia. Akunya hurriedly stayed behind to continue discussing the matter of the East India Alliance, and then quickly returned to Manila.

Akunia argued with Liu Wang for a while, and the two of them fought each other and almost overturned the table. However, Akunia, as the governor of Manila, cherished her wings very much and did not want to become the first target of the Spice Islands attacked by the Jiuzhou Army because of offending the Jiuzhou Army, so she chose to make concessions. However, he put forward two conditions. One condition was that the Chinese businessmen in Manila would submit a huge sum of money as compensation and redemption. The second condition was that they would not let the rebels who fled to the indigenous tribes go. For these two conditions, Liu Wang unexpectedly made a compromise and agreed to Akunia's conditions.

Mr. Chen and other Chinese businessmen in Manila were released from prison by colonial soldiers, and each of them had scars of whipped whips on his face.

"You are lucky. If you have bad intentions next time, you will not be so lucky!" The colonial soldiers closed the iron gate heavily.

"Bah," a young businessman muttered in native language, "It is clear that we are not the ones who rebel, but we are also arrested here and extorted most of our savings. All the money we have saved in the past few years have been explained."

"You are a young businessman. It's a pity that we old men who have been in decades have lost their family fortunes. I don't know if we can pay the salary of our friends. If we can't even pay the salary, we can't do this business in the future." Old Chen sighed, "I warned them not to act recklessly. Unexpectedly, they still do whatever they want, and everyone is finished."

"In fact, their plan may not be impossible. But I heard that they had traitors who temporarily gave the plan to the Governor's Office to tray out, which resulted in the uprising being suppressed." A lame merchant whispered.

Before entering the Spanish prison, his legs were still good, but now it is estimated that it will not be better in just a few months.

"Do you know who the traitor is?" Another businessman gritted his teeth. "If I knew who he was, I would definitely eat this dog that was stolen alive!"

"Yes, you must pull out the dog's things and throw them into the sea to feed the fish!" The merchants were angry in private.

It was at fault for Manager Wang to lead the rebels to revolt without authorization, but his plan did not work at all, but this traitor was the most abominable, because he led to the failure of the rebels, all the Chinese businessmen in Manila were arrested, and a large amount of their property was extorted!

"Everyone, are you okay?" Liu Wang brought the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army outside to greet them.

When Chinese businessmen in Manila saw their relatives from the Central Plains pick them up, they thought that the Jiuzhou army traveled thousands of miles to rescue them, their eyes suddenly became hot. Old Chen and other older generations of old businessmen who drifted from the southeast coast to Manila were even more in tears.

Mr. Chen was staggering, and his crutches made a sound on the gravel path. He walked towards Liu Wang, almost kneeling down: "Thank you for the Jiuzhou army coming all the way to rescue me. If it weren't for you, Manila might have been bloody again!"

"Old man, don't do this. We just do things within our ability. You are all our descendants of Yan and Huang, who are wandering outside. It is not easy to support your family. If you can, please help." Liu Wang saw that a Manila businessman had dark circles and more or less scars on his face, and knew that they had also suffered some torture.

"Oh, no one is easy these days. When Fujian was drought and people were living in poverty, I had no choice but to bring my family to Southeast Asia to explore. Unexpectedly, decades have passed, and there is no chance to go back." Mr. Chen said, "The only thing that has not changed is this local accent."

"Yes, I fled from Shandong at the beginning,"

"Our ancestors were captured here by Japanese pirates and have been there for more than a hundred years."

A group of Chinese businessmen traced the roots and all left the mainland and had their own family's bitter history. When they were excited, they couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Originally, Manila was a good place. Their king regarded the Emperor of Ming as the sect leader and treated our ancestors well. Our ancestors were all upper-class people here. Until the arrival of red hair decades ago, he conquered Manila and hanged the local kings, the status of our Chinese became increasingly lower. Later, they continued to increase taxes and implement tyranny, and our lives were even worse." A businessman said.

"In this way, I can understand your feelings and understand why the rebel army can't wait to start a trouble." Liu Wang thought, "But you don't have to worry in the future. The Central Plains are no longer the Central Plains of the past. With our support, they dare not do anything randomly."

"I didn't expect that the Central Plains could recover and become stronger again. It seems that we can consider returning to the Central Plains after this incident." Mr. Chen and other merchants said one after another, all full of desire to return to the Central Plains.

Most of them left their hometowns due to natural disasters and man-made disasters, otherwise few people would leave the prosperous Central Plains. Now that they saw that the Central Plains are strong again, they also have some family background, so they have the idea of ​​returning to the Central Plains.

"Everyone doesn't have to draw conclusions so quickly. After a while, our Jiuzhou Army also needs a group of people to be active in Southeast Asia." Liu Wang saw that the Manila merchants wanted to return to the mainland together, but he felt that it was inappropriate.
