Liu Mingqi personally sent Chen Yuhua and Chen Xiaowei to the Prince Yu Mansion Villa villa.

It’s not that he is too polite, but that he has something to do.

Turning around and out, the young man entered the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office with a familiarity.

Although it hasn't been here for nearly a year, everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guards' Office knows Liu Mingqi.

They no longer foolishly stopped the prince like the original flag, but took him to Gao Jing's office with great sincerity.

Not only because Liu Mingqi is now incredible, but also because they are the heroes of the world, but also because they can get some benefits from the business of Prince Yu's Mansion every month.

Liu Mingqi gave them some things every month under the name of "Thank you for your protection".

Such as soap, big white rabbit milk candy, etc.

These things are either not cheap or they can’t be bought outside. Although they are not too valuable, they are also a good subsidy for the embroidered wardrobe guards.

There was a period of time in the middle, in order to draw a clear line with Liu Mingqi, Gao Jing forbidden them from accepting gifts, but not long after, it was lifted again.

After all, it was quite hard for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to work for Liu Mingqi’s family’s property.

In every workshop in Prince Yu’s Mansion, there are embroidered guards to guard.

Although this is their duty, it is not modern now, and the guardians are not called soldiers, so human relations are necessary.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Don’t say that it’s only in China. In Europe and the United States, you can try to see that all high-end communities don’t give the police benefits?

It becomes the security of those low-end communities in minutes!

Less gossip.

Liu Mingqi met Gao Jing, and he was busy handling official business.

Seeing the boy coming, Gao Jing stopped writing and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness?"

This embroidered guard general looks very difficult for others to get along with, but Liu Mingqi admires him very much.

Because he is taciturn and capable, such a person is most suitable to be subordinates.

"It's nothing." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Governor, do you know the Chen family in Jiangnan who does maritime business?"

"Chen family? Chen Yuhua?" Gao Jing's memory was also very impressive, and he immediately issued a name.

"right!"

Liu Mingqi said first: "How are they doing? Tell me about it."

Gao Jing treats the emperor with a cold face to anyone except for treating the emperor.

Moreover, he did not like the descendants of these royal nobles and powerful ministers, and never dumped them.

However, Liu Mingqi is an exception.

On the one hand, Liu Mingqi is indeed a person with noble character and has helped so many poor families.

Secondly, Liu Mingqi is very free and easy to do things for people and is very particular about rules, which provides a lot of convenience for the embroidered wardrobe guards.

The third one is even simpler. The emperor attaches great importance to Liu Mingqi and often asks Gao Jing to help.

After a while, Gao Jing naturally became familiar with Liu Mingqi.

Even this time when the six forces attacked Dakang, the Xiuyiwei had no useful information before, which caused Dakang to face the battle in a panic and I don’t know how much it lost.

For this reason, Gao Jing was scolded by the emperor and the prime ministers, but he did not dare to refute it.

Fortunately, Liu Mingqi was born out of nowhere and tried her best to block the Japanese pirates and Shi Wei people. She stubbornly survived this level, and while saving Dakang, she also rescued the Xiuyiwei.

In this matter, both the Xiuyiwei and Gao Jing have to accept the favors of others.

Therefore, without violating the principles, Gao Jing is also willing to give Liu Mingqi some convenience.

So when he heard Liu Mingqi's inquiry, Gao Jing thought for a moment and said, "I only remember that when their family went to sea six or seven years ago, they were strangled by several pirates. The young and strong family died completely, including Chen Yuhua's son, son-in-law, nephew, etc. Only Chen Yuhua was pulled onto a small boat by his servants, rowing wildly all the way, and then he barely returned to the land."

"Son-in-law?" Liu Mingqi said in surprise.

He didn't know that Chen Xiaowei had married.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you dislike Chen Xiaowei and marry herself “silly” after getting married.

Modern people don't pay attention to these things.

The young man didn't know that the aunt was good, so he mistakenly regarded the girl as a treasure.

This married woman is much more fun than a girl.

"Well, it's an engaged husband, and he hasn't gotten married yet." Gao Jing said, "His daughter Chen Xiaowei was hailed as the number one beauty in Jiangnan ten years ago, no worse than the current Su girl! But after that, they disappeared and they did not do business anymore. If they closed the door and thanked the guests, they should have completely declined."

"That's how it works!"

Liu Mingqi said first, "I'll give me a copy of the more detailed information, and I'll go back and take a look."

"This is related to the court's secrets, and it is not appropriate for Your Highness to hold it." Gao Jing shook his head and refused.

"Today Chen Yuhua and Chen Xiaowei came to me and said that they wanted to betrothed Chen Xiaowei to me as a concubine." Liu Mingqi said leisurely: "So Grand Commander, do you think they have anything to do with me now?"

"Really or not?" Gao Jing was dumbfounded, "How could they suddenly come to you?"

"I'll talk about this later. Please give me the information first! I will tell the details to the emperor and the emperor." Liu Mingqi also kept silent.

"Okay... OK, wait a moment!"

Gao Jing stood up and ordered his men at the door.

Although the intelligence of the whole world cannot be viewed, this is related to Liu Mingqi's marriage. Although it is just a concubine, he also has the right to know the situation of this family.

This is also the royal rule. Otherwise, if you marry a messy person, wouldn’t it be a shame for the royal family?

What we are talking about here is not a flower building girl, but some people with flaws in family background, flaws in character... etc.

Even if you marry a spy from the Empire, it would be even more funny.

Gao Jing didn't believe that Liu Mingqi would use this to joke, so he asked him to leave with the information, and he also wrote down the reason why Liu Mingqi asked for the information.

...

When Liu Mingqi returned home, she also read the information in more detail.

The basic situation is just as Gao Jing and Chen Xiaowei said. They were attacked by pirates, so they were wiped out, causing the decline of the entire family.

However, when the young man read the information about the embroidered ward, he felt that it was not that simple. It seemed that there was a hand behind him, slightly controlling something.

For example, someone betrayed their conduct?

Don't doubt it.

This kind of thing happened often in my Ming Dynasty. I often saw others prospering, so I used pirates to kill others.

Later on, the maritime merchants could only collude with pirates or directly train pirates.

When the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade was the most developed, it was time for Zheng Yiguan to cross the sea and collect protection fees to control the maritime merchants to do business.

At that time, as long as you paid Zheng Yiguan, he would send you a flag. No pirate dared to rob the merchant ship with the flag, so everyone's business was done well.

Zheng Yiguan was also a ruthless man. Not only the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates, but Goryeo's merchant ships had to give him money, even the Portuguese and the Dutch had to give him money to do business in the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, he was always a person without foundation, and his descendants did not have the strategic vision of developing ships and artillery. Otherwise, if the Zheng family had been rampant for hundreds of years, they might have even been able to get out of a maritime robber country similar to Great Britain.

Some people say that it was all because Shi Lang surrendered to the Qing court and attacked Baodao, which made the Zheng family and the small court forced to surrender.

In fact, this is not the case. After Zheng Yiguan and his son Zheng Chenggong died, the remaining second generation was the rich, who only knew how to enjoy and live a life of a little overlord on the island, without developing a navy army, and then the people were disintegrated and finally they were defeated by the Qing court.

If it was Zheng Yiguan, would you please take a look at that time?

The Qing Dynasty's navy was sunk into the sea in minutes.

Then again.

Maritime merchants and pirates are two very entangled groups.

Liu Mingqi must have wanted to completely wipe out the pirates, but in 2020, the Somali pirates were still making trouble, let alone the ancient times.

Therefore, there is no extravagant desire to destroy pirates, but using the power in your hands to attack pirates as much as possible and let large pirates silence their territory. This is possible.

The Chen family is a good supporter.

Chen Xiaowei analyzes people's hearts very well, but she thinks Liu Mingqi too superficially.

From Liu Mingqi's perspective, to the point of view, he could sacrifice many of Dakang's interests in order to open up the sea and sail the age.

The core of the future world lies in the ocean rather than the land.

Of course, this can only be said by superpowers like China, the United States, and Russia.

Because there are no threatening enemies around them.

If you want to have better development, you must go to sea, suppress your neighbors on the ocean, and develop into the vast four oceans.

Otherwise, why do American aircraft carrier formations have so many?

Why did the Rakshasa Kingdom rather offend all European countries than take back the Crimean Peninsula? Why did they not want to sell the four northern islands back to Japan in the face of Japan's super silver bullet offensive?

Why do we have to resolutely take back the treasure island and cruise and guard our South China Sea area?
