"Foreign businessmen dare to kidnap people on the street in broad daylight, even if the jewelry on Changle's body is tempting, then they are really bold enough, is it possible that they don't plan to appear on the boundary of Guangzhou in the future?" Wu Yuanqing was a little incredulous for a while, of course he didn't doubt the dynasty, but he just felt that these people were too big because of a small loss, you must know that transporting a shipload of goods back from the Tang Dynasty, how can the profits earned top the value of those jewelry on Changle's body, the key is that this is a long-term deal. Abduction and robbery is a one-shot deal, which is more cost-effective as long as it is not stupid should be weighed.

"Young Master, when you say this, I also feel that something is wrong, the traders present all say that they are foreign maritime merchants, but I see that the clothes they wear are very tattered and do not look like merchants." Wang Chao carefully recalled the appearance of those people at that time and said.

Speaking of this, Wang Chao was a little distressed: "But the vendors present are very sure that those people are foreign traders, what the hell is going on?"

"Okay, don't think about it if you don't understand, you hurry up and go to Steward Liu and ask him to inform the other shopkeepers to send me all the people who can be sent, don't let go inside and outside the city, and let him use all the connections he can use to seal this Guangzhou city for me without alarming the upper echelons, strictly inspect all the city gates, and all women under the age of fifteen are not allowed to go, even if they are dead." Wu Yuanqing gave the order.

Wu Yuanqing knew that he was not good at finding people, and it was too difficult to find people by relying on a few of them.

Like before the dynasty, he wanted to ask Changsun Chong for help, this must have been necessary when Wu Yuanqing didn't come back, after all, finding Changle back was the right thing.

But since Wu Yuanqing is back, it is definitely impossible for Changsun Chong to find it, even Li Chengqian and Feng Gu, Wu Yuanqing doesn't want them to know.

After all, it was the princess who was kidnapped, and she was still the emperor's favorite princess, especially this princess was abducted from Chang'an by Wu Yuanqing.

Let Feng Gu, Changsun Chong, and Li Chengqian know, which means that the emperor will definitely know that no matter whether Changle can be recovered or not, Wu Yuanqing's life will be in danger.

Of course, Wu Yuanqing was not selfish and only thought about himself, and he didn't think about saving Changle first, but he was confident that with the energy of the martial arts family here, he would definitely be able to get Changle back, since he could get it back, so why bother making trouble.

Although the samurai family has only begun to develop here in the Lingnan business circle in the past two years, in the past few years, the samurai family has become the leading existence in the Lingnan business circle with its deep background and unique goods.

The tentacles of the samurai caravan extended to all aspects of Lingnan, and it was also one of the largest in the sea.

Guangzhou is the base camp of the martial arts family in Lingnan, and Wu Yuanqing, the main family, gave an order, and all the guys under the martial arts family put down what they were doing and began to look for someone.

Other actions began almost simultaneously.

Wu Yuanqing didn't tell them the truth, they only knew that they were looking for people with foreign accents and girls around twelve or thirteen years old, and once they found that they were eligible, they would immediately control them.

Wu Yuanqing did not participate in the search for someone, but called Steward Liu to ask about foreign maritime merchants.

Steward Liu is not from Guangzhou, but he is also from Chaozhou, is the head snake of Lingnan, he has been in Guangzhou for three years as the largest steward of the samurai family in Lingnan, and he knows the people and things here well.

With Steward Liu's narration and explanation, Wu Yuanqing had a clearer understanding of the maritime merchants here.

Since ancient times, it has been relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water.

There are more people who rely on the nature of the sea to make a living on the sea, especially the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, which is the existence of gold everywhere in the eyes of small barbarian countries.

Businessmen pursue profits, in fact, not only businessmen, who is not from all walks of life, so many rich and capable people have become maritime merchants between their own countries and the Tang Dynasty, and many people who have no capital are not willing to stay in a small corner, so they can control the ship to become shipwrights and sailors, and there is a lot of strength to become the porter of goods.

The merchants of Lingnan or the powerful families behind the merchants also did the same, they controlled the distribution and sale of goods in Lingnan, and also formed large, medium and small caravans, coming and going to the small countries in the southeast, of course, the samurai family must be the most powerful one among them.

These maritime merchants were merchants when they were on land, and when they arrived at sea, they would occasionally make a cameo appearance as a pirate depending on the situation, anyway, a few people died on the vast sea, and a few boats overturned would not make a splash at all.

The pirate merchants in the Tang Dynasty at this time were not rampant, like Wu Yuanqing knew that the pirate merchants on the southeast coast were really rampant in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in the later generations.

The Ming Dynasty implemented a ban on the sea, requiring that the board should not enter the sea, and the officials around the country implemented it very well.

This official article is very beautiful, and ordinary people really don't let Dao Haili beg for a living anymore.

But in fact, it was only the good people who were banned, and the famous families in the south were not only banned, but even controlled the maritime trade along the entire southeast coast, and they all made a lot of money.

These people are not only maritime merchants, but also pirates in many cases, and will plunder other sea ships. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the control of the southeast Shilin family, these pirate merchants, who were also merchants and pirates, had incredible folk support and integration of water and soil in the southeast coastal areas - the local people "let them pile up their goods and escort them", "or send fresh goods, or give wine and rice, or sacrifice children, in an endless stream"; When going deep into the land, "if you are familiar with the road", or even "farming with the peasants in the Zhoushan Mountains", "or wearing a hat on the top, drowning in the fields, or walking in the clouds, wandering in the city"; Even the local officers and soldiers also cooperated with them inside and outside, reported the military situation, and "did not investigate or ask about the situation, and sent the thieves to the capital." All kinds of abnormalities made the officials in charge of "suppressing pirates" exclaim, "Since he is handsome and has a division, he is also a coward outside of his body"! Except for the high-ranking officials, the others were all pirates.

People often say that the dynasty was deeply poisoned by the Japanese invaders, and even some of the bold Japanese invaded the city, burned and plundered.

But to be honest, at that time, the number of pirates in the southeast sea accounted for only two or three percent, but compared to other pirates who basically robbed merchant ships at sea, these pirates were more daring, more ferocious, and had a greater impact on the coastal people.

In fact, the Japanese are synonymous with Ming Dynasty pirates, but they are not the root of Ming Dynasty pirates.

Although the active pirate merchants in the southeast sea of Datang at this time were not so rampant, after all, if they were stained with blood, they were stained with blood, and their ferocity was not as easy to suppress as before they were without blood.

Especially when stimulated by gold, silver and jewelry that does not belong to them, they instinctively want to use the most primitive behavior, that is, to snatch them by force.

Princess Changle, who is jeweled and moves the treasure house, unfortunately became the prey in the eyes of these people.
