The estuary of the forbidden river in Ninghai, Yang Province, Annan Hai, is located in the famous Halong Bay in later generations. A fleet of ships flying the Sun and Moon Concentric Flag and the Nanyang Company entered the estuary.

At that time, Annan Jiaozhi claimed to be the Kingdom of Jiaozhi for the Ming Dynasty, but when it was closed, both internally and Southeast Asian countries, it claimed to be the Great Yue Empire. Since Dayue defeated Zhukang and split from China, it has become arrogant. Not only did it defeat the Ming army that came to recover Annan, but it also used troops to invade the Kingdom of Siam, Angkor and other kingdoms. Later, in the battle with the Kingdom of Siam for the territory of the Kingdom of Angkor, Siam controlled the Kingdom of Angkor.

The Jiaozhi Kingdom was unstable. Annan was divided into north and south at that time, and the north was called the Jiaozhi Kingdom and the south was the Ruan Kingdom. The Jiaozhi Kingdom in the north was unstable. Although the Jiaozhi king was the Li family, the Li family was actually a puppet king. What really took power was the power of the Zheng family standing behind the Li family.

The Ruan clan in the south was dissatisfied with the Zheng clan in the north and fought for many years between the north and the south, and they all wanted to fight for control of the Li clan kingdom.

In the original time and space, it was not until the Xishan Uprising in 1771 that the three brothers Nguyen Wenhui destroyed Nguyen and Zheng successively, and unified the country and established the Xishan Dynasty. Later, in 1802, Nguyen Phuc Ying, a descendant of the original Nguyen family, destroyed the Xishan Dynasty with the support of France and established the Nguyen Dynasty. After the mid-19th century, the Nguyen Dynasty kingdom became a puppet of the French, and Annan also became a French colony.

However, these things cannot happen again in this time and space, because the Ming Dynasty will rush to the front of Western colonists and gradually control Jiaozhi through economic colonization. After weakening Jiaozhi's power, it will then use both force and economic means to make Jiaozhi truly surrender to the feet of the Emperor Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Yuanwai, who cooperated with Zhao Peng, was the first person to come to Jiaozhi with Nanyang Company.

In Tokyo (now Hanoi), in the Zheng family palace, Zhang Yuanwai met Zheng Zha, the real ruler of the Jiaozhi Palace: "Dear King Xizhai, Caomin, representing the Ming Nanyang Company, is here to give you silver."

"Send silver?" Zheng Za's eyes lit up, but he thought again that the Ming Dynasty must not be so kind, but I was afraid that he would still imagine sending troops to conquer the Jiaozhi Kingdom when Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty. So he sneered, "Do you Mingren have that kindness? Don't forget how our Jiaozhi people drove your Ming army out back then."

Mr. Zhang laughed: "Your Highness is worried too much. Our Ming Dynasty is facing the threat of the Jiannu Tartars in the north. We should try every means to build a country of friendship with Jiaozhi for thousands of years. If you need it, you still need to borrow troops from your country to resist the Tartars. How dare you use troops to your country? This time I am here to send you money because I want to open a Nanyang Company Jiaozhi branch in your country."

Then Zhang Yuanwai introduced in detail what kind of organization the company is. The so-called company is an organizational structure with the purpose of making money, with personal private companies, state-invested companies, etc. Nanyang Company is a company jointly invested by the Royal Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party of Jiangnan and the Guangdong Gentlemen in Fujian.

"Oh, what's the purpose of your Ming Dynasty to start this company in our Jiaozhi?" Zheng Za asked with interest.

"Of course it's making money," Zhang Yuanwai smiled, "Of course, we have to make money for you. We recruit your people to be workers, and the wages they earn can also become taxes for your country; and the profits our company earns in your country must also pay taxes for your country. Isn't this equivalent to giving you silver?"

Seeing Zheng Za bowing his head and saying nothing, Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Dear Your Highness, King of Westward Journey, we will rent land to build a company in your country. We have already brought the rent. Please come with the grass-roots."

Mr. Zhang stood up, and Zheng Za also stood up. The two walked outside the house and saw eighteen large boxes in the yard. Mr. Zhang pointed to the boxes and said, "Your Highness, this is a gift from our company to your highness."

More than a dozen Jiaozhi soldiers opened the box. When the box was opened, the sun shone into the box. They saw that the box was golden and silver shining with yellow and white objects. An Jiaozhi official reached out to grab a handful of coins from the box. They saw that they were all kinds of coins minted by the Ming Dynasty, including gold coins, silver coins, gold and silver coins, silver and copper coins.

Various coins have exquisite workmanship and bright colors. In fact, these coins have been circulated in Jiaozhi, Nguyen Thi Kingdom, Siam, Sanfoqi, Myanmar and other places, and are very popular among local military and civilians. The popularity has exceeded the original gold and silver ingots. Because gold and silver ingots have to prepare balances and cutting tools when buying and selling items, it is very inconvenient to use. These Ming coins are not only well-deserved, making it clear to both users, but also have extremely high gold, silver and copper content, far exceeding the gold and silver ingots and copper plates circulating on the market before.

As for illegal merchants to fake it? It is almost impossible. These Ming coins are very bright and will not become dim for how long they are used. The color of counterfeit coins cannot reach the level of these Ming coins. Not to mention how many days they have been used, even the color of newly created counterfeit coins is much dimmer than that of Ming coins.

This is because the Ming Dynasty coins contain a little nickel, which makes the coins brighter. Not to mention the locals, even the Ming Dynasty people cannot imitate this kind of coins.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty coins are very popular in Southeast Asian countries, gradually replacing the original gold and silver ingots and becoming hard currency.

On the black market in Southeast Asia, it is not just one tael of silver to one dollar for Daming silver coins, but about one tael of silver to be exchanged for one dollar for Daming silver coins; the same is true for gold coins and copper coins.

Seeing that the box brought by Zhang Yuanwai was filled with dazzling Ming coins, Zheng Za's eyes were blinded by gold and silver. He walked to the box and picked up a handful of gold coins with dazzling colors, holding it in his palm, crying and laughing: "I have seen so much gold before!"

Zheng Zha asked, "I don't know how to calculate the rent?"

"Add 10% of the rent you have on the basis of the market price of land rent in your country." Zhang Yuanwai replied.

Zheng Zha thought to himself: This deal is very cost-effective. The rent is 10% higher than the market price. Currently, the rent in Annan is 60%, and the Nanyang Company gives a price of 10% more, which is 70%. At this time, there are enemies in the north of the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible to reach Jiaozhi. After the success of the Northern Expedition in the Ming Dynasty, if they are ill-behaved in Jiaozhi, they will confiscate the land they rented. Thinking of this, Zheng Zha readily agreed to Zhang Yuanwai: "Okay, since that's the case, then sign the contract!"

Zhang Yuanwai thought to himself: Commercial land is rented at 10% higher than the price of agricultural land, which is too cheap! You should know that the price of commercial land is more than seven or eight times that of agricultural land. But Zhang Yuanwai himself never thought that more than a hundred times that of agricultural land has soared more than a hundred times that of agricultural land.
