"Yes, the Liang family has quite a few fleets." Liang Guan, upon hearing Zhao Yao's question, curiously replied, "Your Highness, what do you need a fleet for?"
"Does the Liang family have a maritime fleet?"
"A maritime fleet?" Liang Guan shook his head, "No. Your Highness, you should know that the prohibition on the sea has been in place since the previous dynasty and Great Zhou still maintains it."
Zhao Yao had not considered this point, "Great Zhou hasn't abolished the maritime prohibition?"
"No, although those coastal areas secretly interact with those foreigners."
"Why are there so many foreigners in Qingzhou?" Zhao Yao wondered, "How can those foreigners do business in Qingzhou?"
"I'm not sure, to my knowledge, it seems Qingzhou has always been like this." Liang Guan said, "Those foreigners can only go to Qingzhou and are not allowed in places outside of Qingzhou."
"What's going on here?"
"Not sure."
