Drunk and excited, Liu Mingqi slept surprisingly until noon before getting up.

When he went out, he saw Dazhu exercising with a stone lock and polishing his body.

Dazhu, who is 1.9 meters tall, has to eat three kilograms of meat every day, and also has various nutritional supplements such as eggs, so he is very physically energetic.

Therefore, Dazhu can knock down four or five royal guards in one breath - these royal guards were forced to retire from Qianniu Guards and are specifically responsible for the safety of the Yu family.

According to the speculation of these guards, if the pillar is covered with heavy armor and breaks into the enemy group, it can at least destroy the vanguard team of hundreds of people.

People like this are usually called

A fierce general.

There are actually many powerful generals in the Great Kang Dynasty today, and there are at least hundreds of people in the nine imperial guards.

However, if you scattered among the total of more than 100,000 imperial guards, it is of course rare for fierce generals.

The first powerful general of Qianniu Guard was the captain Xiong Dabao. It is said that he could defeat the siege of more than twenty Qianniu Guards with bare hands.

If he had weapons, he would have fought out of one hundred Qianniu Guards, which would be no problem at all.

Xiong Dabao also has a more powerful father, namely the Governor of Gyeonggi and the Grand Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion. Xiong Wenqing is also the only one among the six governors who has the title of Grand Secretary.

Even Lin Zhenyuan, the governor of the canal transportation, who was most valued by the emperor, was unable to get the title of college student.

Xiong Dabao, who has such a powerful background and such a solid background, is still a defeated man from another person.

Whether it is strength or identity, it is a loss.

This person is Liu Mingjing, the hipster and smiling prince of King Yi, yesterday, and is also a good friend of Xiong Dabao.

Liu Mingjing is born with divine power and has also liked martial arts since he was a child. King Yi invited several veteran generals in the army to teach him. After working hard all the way, he is probably one of the best in the capital.

Dazhuang is very powerful, right?

However, Dazhuang could not even walk ten moves under Liu Mingjing's hands. Xiong Dabao was more powerful and could support about a hundred moves.

There is no way, just won't win.

Moreover, Liu Mingjing will not practice martial arts like Dazhu, like he did.

He was born to like to play everywhere, and he was there wherever he was fun. He had many nicknames, one of which was the little prodigal son in the flower group.

Such a situation can only be described as God’s favor.

Thoughts flashed by.

When Dazhu saw Liu Mingqi coming out, he put down the stone lock and said honestly: "Your Highness, Lu Ling came here just now and told you to go to the princess's place after you wake up."

"good."

Liu Mingqi stretched and thought of her sister Qiaolian again.

Poor a delicate girl who was sent to make white sugar by herself. She has been competing with the craftsmanship of white sugar recently.

It has been a month since she has not fully understood that she is always on the verge of failure and success.

However, what surprised Liu Mingqi was that Qiao Lian was very tough in character. After failing so many times, she became more and more courageous in the battle.

According to the progress I read a few days ago, she will be able to complete her work in July at most.

As long as she survives this level, she can understand every link with her eyes closed.

Liu Mingqi doesn’t have to worry about the future production of white sugar.

Along the way, the young man soon arrived at the yard where the princess and Prince Yu lived.

Before the person arrived, he heard Princess Yu's happy laughter inside, and then a man's laughter echoed.

Hey, is this a guest coming to the house?

Liu Mingqi walked in, and what could be seen were two men in brocade clothes.

Both of them are about thirty years old. One is gentle, while the other seems a little free and unruly. Even in Prince Yu's mansion, they are all careless.

Not only do they look quite similar, but they are also somewhat similar to Princess Yu's eyebrows and eyes.

The memories of the two of them were almost instantly flowing into Liu Mingqi's heart.

"Uncle, uncle, why are you here?" Liu Mingqi said happily.

That's right.

The person who came was Princess Yu's two younger brothers.

The big one is called Xu Dongsheng, and the small one is called Xu Dongping.

The Xu family was born as a noble family, and their ancestors once achieved the great cause of "Catching Hai Gong". From this title, we can see that they have made great achievements in military industry.

Then he was demoted all the way to Xijue, and when he arrived at Grandpa Liu Mingqi, he had already captured Hai Bo.

The next generation's uncle Xu Dongsheng captured Haizi, and then Xu Dongsheng's grandson became a commoner and would not receive any preferential treatment.

Unless these generations have made great achievements, they can maintain their position as nobles.

The Dakang Dynasty even restricted the children of the royal family so tightly, and the treatment of nobles was not very good.

There are only two things they are better than the children of the royal family.

First, they can go to the beautiful country of the motherland, unlike the children of the royal family who cannot leave the capital unless they are allowed by the emperor.

Second, they can do any suitable business, such as borders or seas, and the children of the royal family generally do not touch them.

As for the salary and rewards of the court, if you really have to rely on those who live, most of the noble families will probably starve to death.

Fortunately, emperors of all generations also knew this, so they opened the door to convenience for their business, so that they could make more money.

When a noble child does business, the most expensive tax rate is only 20 taxes, which is comparable to the taxes paid by farmers. The cheapest one can reach 30 taxes.

The children of the royal family should be more relaxed. The most expensive is thirty tax one, and the cheapest is 50 tax one.

The heaviest taxes are naturally the merchants. They are all ten taxes and one. The bigger the merchants, the more they can save money.

But this is only theoretical. In fact, the actual burden on farmers is still quite large, and merchants have become more and more evaded taxes.

Although there have been countless merchants who have been searched for their homes and sent out for dismissal over the years, the huge benefits have still made them continue to do so without stopping.

Here, there are more tricks for the children of the royal family and the nobles. It is considered kind to be honest if you can pay half of the tax.

But neither the emperor nor the court did not investigate this in depth.

The reason is still that: people have given up their most important power and have not come to make trouble with the court. So it is also appropriate to give in.

After Xu Zhu, the old man of the Xu family, inherited the title of Earl of Capture, he placed his business on the Grand Canal from south to north and carried out shipments of various goods.

Because they were wearing the banner of nobles and did not suffer from major obstacles, their business was done well, so they had the opportunity to marry King Yu.

But to be honest, so far, the Xu family's business has not even been placed in the first one hundred on the canal river channel.

The top-ranked giant merchants either had the background of the big bosses in the court, or the relationship between the governors and generals.

The nobles sound nice to say, but they cannot be a big scene at all.

This is how the imperial tycoons deal with them. Anyway, they can make money, but they won’t make too much money. There will always be someone above to suppress you.

...

Seeing my nephew come in, my uncle stood up and bowed, "Hello, prince!"

My uncle laughed and walked over and patted Liu Mingqi on the chest, "Young man, you have been exercising well recently! You are as strong as the sailors on my uncle's boat."

The Xu family's business has now gradually moved to the hands of the next generation.

My uncle has a weak and down-to-earth personality and it is best to stay at home.

My uncle likes to play by nature and is very adventurous, so he is the one who manages the shipping transactions.

With his three or five years of hard work, the Xu family's business has improved a little, which has indeed made people, including Princess Yu, look at him with some admiration.

"When will I follow my uncle's boat to go to the Grand Canal together?" Liu Mingqi sat down with a smile.

"Okay, let me tell you, both sides of the Grand Canal are fun, there is..."

Xu Dongping was furious and wanted to say something exciting, but suddenly felt the cold gaze of his elder sister and quickly closed his mouth.

Princess Yu then said slowly: "Originally, your grandparents were going to come for the birthday of the empress dowager. As a result, your grandmother fell ill last month and had not recovered, so she had to let your two uncles attend... They just arrived in the capital yesterday afternoon and went directly to the palace. They went back to our house to rest in the evening."

Qin Haibo's family lives in Jiangnan, thousands of miles away from the capital, so it is indeed inconvenient to travel around on weekdays.

Liu Mingqi nodded, "Then you will stay for a while... By the way, we have made a lot of good things during this period, such as soap and flower essential oils. Please bring some more back!"

Xu Dongping smiled and looked at his elder sister subconsciously.

Princess Yu coughed lightly: "This is the thing, son. Your uncle has heard about our soap and flower essential oils in Jiangnan. He came over and asked me if I could let them take it back and sell it!"

The boy smiled.

Xu Dongping obviously didn't tell the truth.

Although the flower essential oil was given to Boss Su a month ago, it became famous five or six days ago. After the testimony and the leading female leads of the theater were effective.

It was only then that it spread throughout the capital and made it well known to everyone.

It takes at least half a month to make this happen if the capital is so far from Jiangnan.
