Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang held an early court in Fengtian Temple.

"The southwest region has always been a hidden danger for our Ming Dynasty, not only because the Tusi there is not subject to discipline, but also because the terrain in the southwest region is more complicated."

Zhu Yuanzhang kept telling the ministers of the court and the central government word by word the words he thought about yesterday:

"The day before yesterday, someone played for us and gave us a good idea, which can completely solve the topography problem in the southwest region."

"We think it's not bad, say it today, and ask you Aiqing to give us a detailed reference."

"That person played for us and suggested that we open the sea in Hepu County, what do you think?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words fell, the military officials below showed a stunned look.

A few months ago, after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Wadao, he continued to reveal his plan to open the sea to the ministers.

At that time, many ministers suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang could set up a few more open sea ports in the coastal areas, especially after the officials knew that the Japanese had been exterminated, and even the old nest of the Japanese islands had been wiped out, this suggestion was even more noisy.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed this kind of speech by forceful means.

Zhu Yuanzhang, despite the opposition of others, only set up this kind of port for opening the sea in Shanghu County, and even used a powerful navy to patrol the sea area and suppress ships that went to sea without permission through other ports.

With a two-pronged approach, all businessmen in the country who want to go to sea can only flock to Shanghu County.

This has also made Shanghu County the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty, with Li Jin's foundation in Shanghu County, it can be said that Shanghu County accepts these foreign population, which is not a problem at all.

The current Shanghu County is simply the most dazzling pearl of the Ming Dynasty, according to the calculation of Lu Chang, the head of the household department, only a year of Shanghu County's tax revenue, are more than the sum of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.

It's simply a hen that lays golden eggs.

And now, the emperor actually plans to open the port to the sea in another place, which is really unexpected.

Some people don't understand, but some people figure out the key, and Hu Weiyong is naturally the first person to figure it out.

Hepu County is poor, but it depends on who is there?

Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Hepu County, if Hepu County really develops in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, just this one political achievement can make His Royal Highness the Prince's position unshakable.

Although the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is undoubted, the prince with political achievements and the prince without political achievements are naturally not the same.

"Superior, the minister thinks this matter is feasible."

Now that he has figured out the key, Hu Weiyong stood up and said loudly:

"Now that my Ming navy is invincible in the world, if a port is opened from Hepu County, then troops can be sent from Yingtianfu, and they can reach the southwest belly region in less than ten days by sea."

"The soldiers are fast, such a fast marching speed, presumably the Tusi in the southwest will be much more peaceful."

After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded appreciatively, although Hu Weiyong is good at speculation and his mental skills are not very right, but his ability to figure out people's hearts is still good.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang again and asked:

"Good man, you can also tell your opinion."

Li Shanchang looked a little old at the moment, and the wrinkles on his face quietly spread, I have to say that compared with Hu Weiyong and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were in the prime of life, Li Shanchang was already a little old.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Li Shanchang quietly glanced at Hu Weiyong, who was once the most proud disciple, and now he will speak before him.

However, thinking about Hu Weiyong's current position in Zhongshu Province, Li Shanchang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

"On the top, the old minister thinks that the recent situation of Hepu County is unknown, and if the port is built, it also needs supporting official roads and road facilities."

"None of this can be built overnight, and the cost is huge, and it may not be possible to complete it in Qinzhou or even Guangdong Province."

"Therefore, the old minister thought that he should still send officials to inspect it, and after the estimate was completed, he would continue to discuss the construction of the port and the construction of the road."

Li Shanchang is more stable after all, which is also his consistent style of doing things.

Even though he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was now in Hepu County, Li Shanchang still felt that the opening of the port and the construction of the wharf could not be hasty.

It's just that although Li Shanchang's idea is good, it is not quite in line with Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's brows frowning slightly, he planned to give Li Shanchang a good lecture.
