Chapter 41 I found a good place!(1/2)

Under the leadership of Qianniuwei, Liu Mingqi, who was hiking out of the palace, was a little worried.

The emperor has issued an order, so the next factory relocation is imminent.

The factory must be in the capital to be more at ease.

There may not be many people thinking about a deal worth tens of thousands of taels, but a business worth millions of taels will definitely make people take risks.

If it were outside the city, it would be possible that the night of dark and windy fire will be broken.

However, although there are so many houses in the capital, the prosperous areas of various yamen and ministerial pavilions have long been occupied by the children of the royal family, nobles and merchants.

Being anxious, where can I find the most suitable one? This is a question.

After turning a corner, Liu Mingqi looked up inadvertently and found a middle-aged man wearing a big red brocade python robe, a golden token on his waist and a thousand cow leather boots. He walked towards him with big strides.

Of course, he was still surrounded by Qianniuwei.

Even if he is so powerful and can wear a python robe, or a clan like Liu Mingqi, it is impossible for him to rush around in the palace. He must be accompanied by Qianniuwei.

While seeing him, this person also saw Liu Mingqi.

Liu Mingqi's eyes suddenly lit up. When she was still several meters away, she smiled and bowed to the visitor and said, "Governor Gao! You haven't seen each other for many days, you look better. Is there any happy event at home?"

The visitor was Gao Jing, the governor of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Because he is in charge of the country's largest spy, secret reports and spy agencies, Gao Jing has always been feared by many people.

Even colleagues usually don’t like to have more contact with him, thinking that his yin energy is too heavy.

To be honest, he has never met a clan who is so smiling.

Seeing this, they were stunned for a moment before squeezing out a smile and said, "I have met His Royal Highness, are you summoned by His Majesty and are you going back?"

"yes."

Liu Mingqi said, "But when I saw you, Governor Gao, I suddenly didn't decide to go home... You are busy first, I'll wait for you at the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office, come back soon!"

While speaking, Liu Mingqi waved her hand and left.

Gao Jing looked confused.

What's wrong with this?

Is he going to do something again?

This question was still in his heart until he rode his entourage back to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office with his entourage.

"Governor!"

The general flag at the door quickly grabbed the reins of the horse and greeted him.

"Have Prince Yu been here?" Gao Jing asked while dismounting.

"He is still sitting inside." The chief flag smiled bitterly, "We said you were not here, and he said he had agreed with you."

"Have he done anything strange?"

"Before entering the yamen, I saw him walking around with his servants, and I wonder if he was looking for something."

Nodding, Gao Jing cheered up and walked into the yamen.

When Gao Jing came over, Liu Mingqi was sitting in the reception room behind to drink tea, humming a little tune.

"Your Highness has been waiting for a long time!" Gao Jing bowed as soon as he entered the door.

Although the children of the royal family have no power, if anyone dares to despise etiquette, he will be punished with the crime of "disrespect".

For officials, they are more likely to lose their hats because of this, and they are more likely to lose their hats.

So even if Gao Jing doesn’t catch a cold from Liu Mingqi, he still needs to respect him on the surface.

This is also the maintenance of the face of the Dakang Dynasty for the children of the royal family. Otherwise, they would have no power and were bullied. Is it interesting to be a child of the royal family? Will your emperor have no descendants and become a child of the royal family?

Liu Mingqi smiled and raised her hand, "Governor Gao, come and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." After Gao Jing sat down, he asked without saying nonsense, "I wonder what happened to Your Highness come here today?"

"Look, Governor Gao, you have a little misunderstanding of me." Liu Mingqi said, "You can't be alert to me just because we had a little friction last time. Can't I come to give you money?"

"hehe!"

Gao Jing looked at Liu Mingqi and smiled, "Is it because His Highness is going to hand over the soap business to our embroidered ward?"

"Hey, why don't I say Governor Gao is smart?" Liu Mingqi slapped the table, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"

Gao Jing: "!?"

He was stunned.

It was originally a joke, but I didn’t expect Liu Mingqi to say it was true?

But Gao Jing is not a fool, he doesn't believe it at all.

If Prince Yu dares to take out the business for millions, he dares to break his legs if Prince Yu dares to break him.

So he could only smile bitterly and said, "Okay, Your Highness, let's stop going around in circles. Just tell me what you have. I'll consider it and see if I can do it for you."

This is not because Gao Jing gives Liu Mingqi face, in fact he doesn't want to give Liu Mingqi face at all.

But just after reporting on the affairs in the palace and before leaving, Emperor Jing He reminded him to take good care of the business of Prince Yu’s mansion and not let others destroy it.

Of course, Gao Jing should do his best to do his best for what Emperor Jing He specifically advised him.

"Actually, it's simple." Liu Mingqi said, "I'm going to move my home workshop next to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office. What do you think?"

"No!"

Gao Jing's serious face suddenly showed a look of horror, "Your Highness, we can't accommodate this big Buddha in the Soap Workshop!"

joke!

Every time he enters the imperial city, Gao Jing can smell the pungent smell.

Think about it, the entire Imperial City can be filled with the smell of pigs. How terrible would it be if the workshop was moved next to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office?

Everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be stinked to death!

Gao Jing cannot stop Liu Mingqi from relocation. As long as the royal family does business, who dares to stop it?

This is the privilege given to Taizu!

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office is forced to relocate, it will be laughed at for a hundred years!

He Gao Jing can't afford such a stigma.

Liu Mingqi comforted him, "Don't be nervous, I have agreed with the emperor that this piece of lard will be outsourced to the farmers outside the city, so that there will be no more odor."

Gao Jing was calmer.

It’s not that he overreacted, but that the taste of lard boiling on a large scale was so scary that he never knew it would be so terrible before.

"But... why do you have to be next to our Embroidered Uniform Guard Office?" Gao Jing couldn't help asking.

"I don't have money and want to find the most capable bodyguard." Liu Mingqi spread her hands, "Where is there a safer place in this inner city than the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office?"

Liu Mingqi is not exaggerated at this.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard has a bad reputation among the people. Not to mention ordinary families, even officials are unwilling to provoke them.

On weekdays, they are the only ones who cause trouble for others. Who else wants to come to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office to make trouble if they eat too much?

Didn’t I see that when Liu Mingqi brought people over last time, even the prince’s son and daughter were a little scared?

But it's fine.

The Xiuyiwei was deprived of the execution power of "dead first and report later" by Taizu. After their intelligence was summarized with the emperor, the emperor would hand it over to Dali Temple for verification.

Only when Dali Temple is confirmed correctly and the emperor issued an order can the embroidered guard arrest people.

It is equivalent to tie a rope to the dog, so that their behavior will not be uncontrollable and repeat the mistakes of the relevant yamen in the previous dynasty.

Gao Jing felt a headache when he saw Liu Mingqi insisting.

The soap and essential oil workshops are placed near the Embroidered Uniform Guards' Office. Even if they have no obligation to help guard them, they will still be unable to escape the crime of "unfavorable public security" afterwards.

If King Yu went to the emperor to cry, the embroidered guard would be even more miserable.

So as long as Liu Mingqi moved the workshop here, the embroidered yamen would be like finding a father for himself.

If it were before today, he would definitely refuse.

But the emperor just gave him an order, and turned around and he did not cooperate with the actions of Prince Yu, who was not supporting Prince Yu. Isn’t that slapping the emperor in the face?

"Governor Gao... don't be bitter." Liu Mingqi slowed down her tone, "We are all a family. I, Liu Mingqi, are famous for being righteous and generous. The workshop is being taken care of by the Embroidered Uniform Guard Office here. Don't I know how to express my feelings?"

"Your Highness!"

Gao Jing had another headache. Prince Yu shouldn't be a naughty person at all. Why didn't the matter be negotiated and he immediately talked about the matter of expressing his interests?

"If my workshop moves here, we will definitely not have to pay the protection fee, but after all, we take advantage of it." Liu Mingqi said, "So we will give 5,000 yuan of soap every month, and the money we get sold is for repairs. In addition, we have a second workshop, and the small gifts we give will definitely satisfy everyone."

Gao Jing was so angry that he smiled, "Your Highness, we are officials and servants in the court. Do you give me openly good deeds? Do you take the rules and regulations of the court seriously?"

"No." Liu Mingqi said seriously, "Isn't it a problem to place the soap workshop next to the embroidered yamen? It's also a good idea to give some compensation, right?"
