Building Industry In Old Times Chapter 438

FuRoman Lu City is located in eastern Fujian, surrounded by mountains.

This city was also called Mindu in ancient times. Due to its remote location, most of the population moved to the Jianghuai area, so it was once very desolate in history.

However, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when shipping was vigorously developed and the domestic shipping manufacturing industry gradually developed into the world's advanced level, the people in FuRoman Lu city gradually gathered.

After that, the economy gradually developed and in the middle and late Ming Dynasty it became the central hub of overseas trade with the East, and was also the location of the Fujian Maritime Customs.

Not only that, in the late Ming Dynasty, European countries such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy had increasingly frequent contacts with FuRoman Lu. The Zheng family, to which Zheng Zhilong belonged, relied on its geographical advantages to control FuRoman Lu City for decades, and had no shortage of both financial resources and Western weapons.
