A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 840

"Uh, the second brother's tone is getting louder."

Xiao Huang read the letter, smiled and asked the secret guard who sent the letter: "How is the matter of the Second Young Master's mess?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the island has already been built, and the needed ships have also been built one after another. It is said to the outside world that it is a transfer station for our caravan, and no one will suspect it."

"That's good!"

Xiaoqi traveled around in the early years, but after a few years, he gave up and wanted to start a career.However, there is no war in the northwest and the economy is prosperous. He feels that he has nothing to do.

He found it inconvenient that other places in Dayu were under the jurisdiction of the government too much.In the end, after looking around, seeing that Murong Li's island owner was at ease, he also set his sights on the sea.

Then Xiaoqi not only organized a caravan at sea, but after discovering that Dayu was not as rampant as naval pirates, he organized an escort team.In the past two years, he found that due to the development of commerce and trade, there were countries across the sea that were eyeing Dayu. On the one hand, he gave advice to the imperial court, and on the other hand, he started to build his own naval power, which is already in its infancy.

However, Xiao Qi dared to say this, not because he had created an army.

Relying on the family's huge wealth and years of experience in raising hidden guards, the hidden guards from the Xiao family are absolutely loyal.Coupled with the fact that Xiao Qian sent people to the army many years ago, in the Dayu court at this time, more than half of the army generals, bright and dark, were basically members of the Xiao family.

Although many civil servants dislike the Xiao family, the presence of the Shen family and Wen Daotang is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Because Xiao Huang is the queen, Xiao Qian basically handed over these people in the capital to Xiao Huang's hands.On the surface, it seems that she is just an idle queen who only cares about raising children and doesn't care about government affairs.However, nothing big or small that happened in court could escape her ears.

Jing Yi may have noticed this a long time ago, but he is the emperor, she is the queen, and the husband and wife are one.He felt that he should have shared these thousands of miles of land with her.As long as she doesn't endanger the country, he will let her go, pretending that she doesn't know anything and doesn't care.

The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion married a princess, gave birth to a queen, and was deeply trusted by the emperor.Such a prominent mansion, of course, would be envied by others.It’s fine at ordinary times, when you encounter difficulties, you will definitely be the first one to be pulled on the stage
Two years later, when Xiao Huang gave birth to a son-in-law, someone on the border colluded with Koryo and Japanese pirates to attack Dayu together.

At this time, the gunpowder could not be controlled and was stolen by other countries, and the two countries that came to attack had already developed guns and firearms.Moreover, the Wa country is better at water warfare and is very difficult to deal with.

Soon, the northeast border of Dayu and the coast of Shandong fell, and the situation was very critical.

The Japanese pirates were very cunning. As soon as Dayu's army left, they fled to the sea. As soon as the army withdrew, they went ashore to plunder, which was very rampant.

Dayu's hastily formed navy was vulnerable to Japanese pirates.

Seeing that the imperial army was deflated one after another, someone immediately proposed to ask Zhenbei Prince's Mansion for assistance.

Zhenbei Prince's Mansion lived in the northwest for generations, so he must not be good at water warfare. Even if he had powerful firearms, would it be useful to go there?

Whether it is useful or not, you can find out by playing it.

Xiao Huang believed in her own strength. In this regard, she even took the initiative to invite her brothers to play, so Xiao Qi happily led the team.

This time Xiao Qian felt that he was old and didn't want to fight, and Liu Liu was the heir, so the burden on his body was heavier, so he couldn't easily take risks.

As for Xiaoqi, everyone knows that the second son of Zhenbei Wangfu likes to travel all over the world.However, no one knew that he hadn't traveled in vain all these years.
