You may not believe it, but Liu Mingqi is just acting.
Because when they first accepted various plants brought by overseas princes and nobles, both parties were very casual.
The other party didn¡¯t know where they brought something from. Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion had clearly registered it, but it was messed up and chaotic when planting.
Therefore, there is no record of who brought the pepper, and Liu Mingqi doesn¡¯t know either.
So Vanasabu is just a lucky person specially selected by Liu Mingqi.
Why choose him?
Because he is usually very poor, even poorer than Du Lifeng back then, and everyone looks down on him.
"If he can fly up to the treetops and become a phoenix, this strong contrast will suddenly stimulate people's competitiveness even more, allowing them to search for these treasures more carefully.
In Liu Mingqi¡¯s memory, there are so many excellent plants and crops in Southeast Asia!
? And then there¡¯s the second point.
Liu Mingqi has now learned to be smart and try to maximize profits when doing business.
Another reason why Wanasab was selected is that the Kingdom of Sarawak where he is located is just below Brunei and across the Strait of Malacca.
Liu Mingqi wanted to find a relay base there first, so as not to irritate the indigenous people in the Strait of Malacca. The best location was in the Kingdom of Sarawak.
First, rent a port here, slowly explore the reality and accumulate strength, identify the opportunity, and seize the strategic point of the Strait of Malacca in one fell swoop.
In fact, according to the strength of the Dakang navy, as long as they are willing to kill most of the southern navy and lead tens of thousands of elite forbidden troops to attack, they will definitely be able to capture the eastern part of the Malacca Strait - the narrowest area near Singapore.
In fact, the Strait of Malacca is the trench sandwiched between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. It is more than a thousand kilometers long in the middle of the strait. Although there are not many ports on the Sumatra side, the excellent seaports on the other side of the Malay Peninsula are particularly special. That's a lot.
Many people don't know that Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, is actually not far from the Strait of Malacca. There is also a famous port between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore - Huangjing Port, which will also be a key investment in our country in the future. Construction of the seaport.
But no matter which seaport it is, the question is whether it can be defended and whether it can function.
Before Liu Mingqi¡¯s large-caliber cannon came out, he had no intention of conquering the Strait of Malacca.
"You can only defend it if you defeat it. At least you can't let the enemy in at the most critical moment, and you can escape back to the South China Sea to recuperate."
¡°Otherwise, what if you just open the door and evil dragons rush in one after another, rampage directly in Dakang¡¯s sphere of influence, and attack your coastal city?
Back then, half of my Qing backbone was directly broken - the remaining half was caused by two land invasions by the coalition forces. The Qing cavalry was beaten to pieces, and they no longer had the slightest intention to compete.
anyway.
Wanasab is a marquis, and his father is a duke. The territory of this duke happens to be in the northwest of Sarawak. There are many islands here. Of course there is not much oil and water on weekdays, but if it is leased by Dakang, , actively develop it as a base, it is an amazing outpost.
Although Vanasabu is not an only son and is not the first in line to succeed, what does it matter?
Liu Mingqi befriended him, supported him, and allowed him to grow up, so that he would be qualified to compete for inheritance rights and become the Grand Duke of Sarawak.
As for the real hero who was buried, he certainly didn¡¯t know what he brought, so Liu Mingqi had no choice.
Who told you that you have bad luck?
¡¡
After withdrawing his thoughts, Liu Mingqi said to the people present: "In addition to the projects that you can freely develop, I will talk about two things now. Please help find them."
As he spoke, the four maids next to him took out two huge horizontal pictures for everyone to see.
"The first one is the cotton tree. It looks like this. The main feature is the cotton that pops out after it matures." Liu Mingqi said, "You ask people to go back to China with the drawings to search. As long as they can find , just bring me as many saplings and seeds as possible. You don¡¯t care whether others find this or not. Anyone who can find it and send it to me will be my friend, Liu Mingqi!"
"Wow"
This group of aristocratic youths were excited.
In the past, they didn¡¯t know what to look for, but now Liu Mingqi thinks??Living in the Imperial City. Luo Lie said without hesitation.
"Um."
Liu Mingqi also believes in him.
Just like the elites of the 1980s who would rather give up decent jobs and a bright future to wash dishes in the United States.
Not to mention that Luo Lie was not washing dishes in Dakang, but was living a prosperous and decent life, so there was no reason to go back.
"Come and do something for me!" Liu Mingqi said.
"Your Highness, please tell me!" Luo Lie became excited. He was afraid that Liu Mingqi would not trouble him, but would trouble me to get close to me!
"If your Sulu country has any good ports on the west coast, go back and see and convince your father to rent this port to the fleet of my concubine's family"
Liu Mingqi briefly talked about the Chen family¡¯s overseas expansion next year and its future plans.
Luo Lie is not an idiot, he is still a decisive person.
Hearing this, he immediately had a guess in his mind, but he would not say it out loud. He just said: "My father is very greedy for money. Recently, he has been doing tobacco business with Prince Yu's Mansion. He has made a lot of money by selling various products of Prince Yu's Mansion. . If I still want to impress him, I must increase the amount of trade, and I also need a sum of money to bribe his beloved concubine"
At this point, he stopped and looked at Liu Mingqi's reaction.
Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "You will be fully responsible. When the time comes, just ask Chi San'er if you need money!"
With that said, he patted Luo Lie on the shoulder again, "Fifth Prince, I hope you can fully enjoy the beauty of great wealth!"
"I understand, villain!"
Luo Lie, what else is there to say at this time?
He said seriously and quietly: "Everything about this villain depends on His Highness! The affairs of Sulu Country have nothing to do with me anymore!"
¡°You can¡¯t say that, then it¡¯s still your natal family!¡± The young man said with satisfaction.
"yes!"
Luo Lie also laughed.
He didn¡¯t dare to play tricks in front of Liu Mingqi.
¡°Look at the things invented by His Royal Highness Prince Yu, which one is not astonishing? Look at the things His Highness has done, which one is not earth-shattering?
Such a god-like figure should be worshiped and followed by the people of our country by nature.
Only by surrendering wholeheartedly to Your Highness, will I, Luo Lie, and my descendants live a happy and prosperous life forever! !
