Hearing his brother's question, Qi Yuanbi smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "This place is good, but it's also bad."
After hearing what his brother said, Qi Yuangong was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
All the brothers were around the emperor. The eldest brother was in the royal army, he was the emperor's personal guard, and the younger brother was in the royal navy.
Based on my experience and that of my elder brother, I think the Royal Navy should be doing well. Why would my younger brother say such a thing? Did someone bully him?
This was a little hard for Qi Yuangong to accept.
It’s fine if your own people don’t bully others, but how can they allow others to bully them?
You have to know that his family is considered to be top-notch among the military generals of the Ming Dynasty. The three brothers all serve in the army and are the emperor's confidants. In addition, the accumulation of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren is not something that ordinary people can compare with.
Although his connections were not as good as those of the old nobles, such as the Duke of England, they were still not comparable to ordinary people. In such a situation, who would dare to bully his younger brother?
Seeing his second brother's frowning look, Qi Yuanbi knew that his second brother had misunderstood.
He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's not what you think, brother. It's very good here. Every day, besides training, there's food and drink. The food is also good. You should know this."
"The food in the Royal Navy is pretty good, and we can go fishing every day. I'll send one to my brother tomorrow. The fish here are really fat, and everyone is a little tired of them, but it should be a very good meal for you."
"Someone from the Imperial Household Department came over a few days ago and said they wanted to get some fish."
"Even if there is a straight cement road, it won't be easy to deliver it to the capital, right?" Qi Yuangong asked with a frown.
"It's not that difficult. They've got a giant transporter and some kind of catfish effect. I don't know about the rest, but they're working on it."
"I want to get some live fish and ship them to Beijing to sell. Even if they're dead, that's fine. They can freeze them with ice, claiming it's some kind of cold chain transport. They can also dry them or salt them."
"As you know, salt is worthless in the Imperial Household Department. In recent years, they've been using seawater to make salt, and Ming Dynasty's salt production has increased several times. What's the current market price of salt?"
"Anyway, they have a way, but we dare not agree to it. Our Royal Navy is the emperor's army. We can catch some fish for ourselves, but selling them is not our job. We dare not make money from it."
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs said they would report to His Majesty, and we are waiting for news."
Qi Yuangong nodded and said, "That's a good thing."
Qi Yuanbi smiled and said helplessly, "Our Ming Dynasty's Royal Navy has such good equipment, so many people, and such fine ships. The Emperor spent so much money on it, and the result is just fishing?"
"If they really want to catch fish and sell them, the fishermen can do it. Why do they need us?"
At this point, Qi Yuanbi sighed helplessly and said, "This is also a place where we are not comfortable."
"Everyone can train every day and work hard, but it's useless. Look at how many battles the Royal Army has fought in Liaodong, and they fought so beautifully. I heard that many people will be promoted to official positions this time, and many will even receive titles. How can we brothers not be jealous?"
"Everyone is desperately trying to hold back, but there's no hope every day." Qi Yuanbi sighed again, looking at his second brother, and said, "Sometimes I really want to be transferred back to the imperial army, to follow my eldest brother. But I also know that it's just a fantasy."
"Our family has been in the military for many years, and now the three of us brothers are deeply trusted by His Majesty. If we all stayed in the capital, it would be a bit inappropriate and would inevitably attract criticism. So I have never had such thoughts, and if I did have any, I would just endure it."
Glancing at his brother, Qi Yuangong smiled and said, "With your little tricks, you're simply judging others by your own standards. Your Majesty is so wise and powerful, would he be afraid of this?"
"What can we three brothers do? What kind of waves can we make? You're overthinking it!"
"Let me tell you, His Majesty placed you here to make use of you. You were right earlier. His Majesty spent so much money on the Royal Navy, giving you such fine ships and equipment, not just for you to fish, nor for you to stay here. You should have something to do this time."
Qi Yuanbi immediately became excited and quickly looked at Qi Yuangong and asked, "Then, second brother, can you tell me about it?"
Glancing at his brother, Qi Yuangong hesitated.
He found himself falling for his brother's trick. His brother had been in the army for many years, so it was impossible for him not to understand that this navy would be of great use to him. It was obvious that this was just a trick he had used to trick him.
It's a bit uncomfortable to stay here, but it's not hopeless.
Qi Yuangong glared at his brother fiercely and sneered, "What a mess! Stop thinking about this and just wait patiently. You'll know what you should know sooner or later, but don't ask about things you shouldn't know."
Seeing that his tricks were exposed by his brother, Qi Yuanbi didn't care, as he had long been used to it.
The three brothers grew up together, trained together every day, and encouraged each other. There were many times when the two older brothers taught them a lesson, and when was it not beatings or scolding?
It’s nothing to say a few words now.
Qi Yuanbi said, "Isn't this just waiting anxiously?"
"Last time in Liaodong, His Majesty wanted the King of Korea to come to the capital with him. However, the King of Korea did not come, saying he was unwell, but he still sent his son to discuss some matters with the Ming Dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be in Tianjin soon. Then you will have something to do."
