In a high-end hotel in Shanghu County, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da reunited.

"We see the emperor."

After the door was closed, all the princes knelt down and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang here was really much beyond the expectations of these people.

But the harvest brought this time made these people excited, after all, the silver invested this time can be returned dozens of times in the future, which they didn't even dare to think about before.

"Let's be flat."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was flat, and he didn't blame everyone.

After all, if you want to blame, you have already scolded just now.

"This matter is over, we don't want to hear you talking nonsense outside, let alone talking nonsense, so that other ministers in the DPRK and China can hear it, do you understand what we mean?"

"We understand."

Of course, these people are full of promises and dare not disobey.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and explained to Lan Yu:

"Lan Yu, Li Jin needs manpower to attack Wadao, you select 20,000 people from the Beijing camp and come to Shanghu County to follow his orders."

As soon as these words came out, Lan Yu's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself in disbelief and asked:

"Let me listen to that kid?"

"Your Majesty, is there a mistake in this matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Less nonsense, carefully remember Li Jin's training method."

"He is not as simple as you think, there are masters behind him to guide him in the art of war."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and added:

"That person's ability to train soldiers is not under us and Xu Da, you follow Li Jin to study hard, and there will be a place for you to use in the future."

When Lan Yu and the others heard this, their mouths opened wide in surprise, and they couldn't believe that these words came from Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth.

You must know that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang can be called the top is not only because he is the boss, but also because of his ability to lead troops to fight, which no one can match.

Even Xu Da, who is in the limelight, will not be Zhu Yuanzhang's opponent.

You must know that when Xu Da was on the Northern Expedition, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who personally planned the route.

Since ancient times, troops have been sent from the south of the Yangtze River, and those who can recover the Central Plains have no ancients before and no one after them, except for Zhu Yuanzhang.

It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's terrifying strategic vision.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang actually compares Li Jin, a hairy boy under the age of 20, with himself, which is really incredible.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"

Lan Yu swallowed hard, feeling that this thing was too outrageous.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily:

"Who has time to joke with you."

"Now you go back and pick out the most elite soldiers of the Beijing camp."

"Remember, Xu Da will be with you at that time, show us Li Jin, don't let him do anything out of the ordinary."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he let all these people go, leaving only Xu Da and Tang He and the two brothers.

"Tang He, tell us about your impression of Li Jin."

Tang He was stunned, he and Li Jin only had a one-sided relationship, so let him say that it was not a little inappropriate.

However, seeing Zhu Di's serious look, Tang He hesitated for a while, and then said slowly:

"Brother Chen thinks that Li Jin is a more philistine, although I don't have much contact with him."

"But judging from the scale of Shanghu County, Li Jin knows a lot about business."

"He is in business, and the minister thinks that he will definitely not lose money."

"As for the rest, the younger brother doesn't know."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly, Tang He is realistic on this point, and knows how much to say.

will not exaggerate or belittle, and never hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang, which is the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang trusts Tang He more.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Xu Da again and said:

"Today's transaction with Li Jin, do you think we made it, or did Li Jin earn it?"

Xu Da frowned, thought for a while and said:

"I think it's a win-win."

"Oh? Why is that? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and asked softly:

"Where did we get so many benefits from Li Jin, why is it still a win-win situation?"

Xu Da replied:

"The minister thinks that what Li Jin wants is to sweep the sea route."

"At the conference to attract investment, Li Jin repeatedly proposed the glory of maritime trade in the pre-Song Dynasty."

"If it is true as he said, when he sweeps away the Japanese and opens the passage of sea trade, then this sea is the real wealth."

"Although he owns 40% of the shares of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, the Royal Chamber of Commerce does not include the profits of sea trade."

"The minister thinks that Li Jin will swallow the profits of the sea trade alone, this is his purpose."

"As for the fire gun that the superior asked him for, or the shares of the Royal Chamber of Commerce, they are only a drop in the bucket."

Xu Da believes that Li Jin finally achieved his goal, which is the most important thing, even if he was blackmailed by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Li Jin won when he achieved his goal.

And Zhu Yuanzhang got the shares, the fire gun and the silver two, and he naturally did not lose.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang can't see Li Jin making money, he feels that Li Jin making money is even more uncomfortable than him losing money.

Now hearing Xu Da's analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and said:

"Monopoly of sea routes? Hmph, then we'll see. ”

"Xu Da, you are in Shanghu County, watch and listen more, not only to learn Li Jin's ability to train soldiers, but also to learn how Li Jin can govern Shanghu County."

"When Li Jin really captures Wadao, when the time comes, we will find him to settle the score."

Xu Da and Tang He looked at each other, not knowing what Li Jin provoked Zhu Yuanzhang to make Zhu Yuanzhang so angry.

But Xu Da didn't dare to ask, so he could only bow his head and promise.

"From your point of view, is it possible for Li Jin to really capture Wajima?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still has doubts about this matter at the moment, after all, he has invested so much money now, and he really doesn't want to waste it.

Xu Da replied aloud:

"According to Li Jin, there must be no problem."

"But that's the most ideal situation, now we don't know how many big ships are left!"

"You must know that the sailor has always been the weakness of our Ming Dynasty, since the previous attack on Chen Youliang, it has been like this, and in the past few years, the upper position has been busy recovering the economy, and there is no time to manage the sailor."

"The current big ship is still the proceeds seized from Chen Youliang, and I don't even know if it can be used."

"If Li Jin wants to use this kind of ship to fight, let alone attack the Japanese island, I don't even think it is an unknown whether he can sweep away the Japanese invaders."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was very ugly, after all, it was his decision to abandon the water division in the first place.

On the one hand, because he issued a ban on the sea, he could not use a large-scale sailor, and on the other hand, it took too much money to maintain a huge sailor, and he Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to spend money.

After all, at the beginning, both inside and outside the court were tightening their belts and giving Xu Da money and food for the Northern Expedition, how could there be extra money for the sailors?

But now that Zhu Yuanzhang has promised Li Jin, he must give Li Jin forty big ships, otherwise wouldn't the deal be in vain?

"What do you think we should do now?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da.

Xu Da knew about the deal between Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Jin, and knew that the delivery of the ship might become a problem, but now the matter was imminent, and it was impossible not to hand it over.

"Do you remember the Longjiang Shipyard?"

"Longjiang Shipyard? Do you mean that after defeating Chen Youliang, all the shipwrights of Chen Youliang were relocated to Longjiang Shipyard? ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang at the beginning, he felt that Chen Youliang's car was too cool, so he wanted to build a few himself.

All the skilled shipwrights of Chen Youliang in Huangzhou were relocated to Yingtian's Longjiang Shipyard.

But because the cost of shipbuilding was too expensive, Zhu Yuanzhang had to give up, which led to the slow decline of Longjiang Shipyard.

Now that Xu Da mentioned this shipyard, Zhu Yuanzhang still has an impression.

"Isn't the Longjiang Shipyard abandoned now? Why are you mentioning this? ”

Xu Da showed a malicious smile and said:

"Let's better package the shipyard and craftsmen and sell them directly to Li Jin, presumably Li Jin is definitely eager for this matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was really wonderful.

Longjiang Shipyard was a waste product in his own hands, but he sold it to Li Jin, and it was the silver of Baihuahua.

As for whether Li Jin can build a big ship, it is not his Zhu Yuanzhang's business.

I even sold you the shipyard, and you can't build a big ship, that's your problem.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da looked at each other and smiled, and then ordered Xu Da to go back to the capital first and prepare to come to Shanghai County with Lan Yu.

And he was planning to visit Li Jin again.
