Hepu County.

Li Jin's daily life has not changed much, and he has even become much more leisurely because of this.

In the past, Li Jin did not interfere too much in the government affairs of Hepu County, and most of them were handed over to Zhu Biao.

In addition to some general directions, Li Jin will give Zhu Biao some guidance, and then directly become the shopkeeper.

At most, Li Jin would train the militia every day to ensure the military strength of Hepu County.

But since the arrival of Lan Yu and Zhu Di, Li Jin didn't even go to the barracks, and he directly handed over the task of training these militias to Zhu Di and Lan Yu.

After all, in the Ming Navy, there are many instructors to train, and Li Jin is rarely relaxed.

However, this kind of relaxed days did not last long, and Zhu Biao, Lanyu Zhu Di and others came to the door again.

"Master Li, you are hiding at home by yourself, but you are at ease, we are tired."

After seeing Li Jin, Lan Yu complained directly.

Li Jin smiled slightly, did not answer, but asked curiously:

"How can a few people have time to come here every day? Could it be that some news is coming back? ”

Zhu Biao said: "I still can't hide it from Master Li. ”

"Now there are two things in one, and it needs to be decided by Lord Li."

Li Jin was surprised in his heart, two things? Isn't there only one thing to open the sea?

"Tell me, what are those two things?"

"First, it is natural to open the sea, and the emperor has agreed to open the sea in Hepu County."

Zhu Biao stretched out a finger, and then said:

"The holy decree has been issued, but it has not yet arrived in Hepu County, and it is the people of Jinyiwei who came to report it first."

"Later, the people from the household department and the inspectorate will also arrive in Hepu County with the holy decree."

Li Jin frowned lightly and asked puzzledly:

"Hubu, what are the people from the Inspectorate doing? It's better to send some people from the Inspectorate, otherwise these people are of no use at all! ”

Zhu Di interjected on the side:

"After all, the matter of opening the sea is very important, and only Shanghu County and Hepu County are allowed to open the sea in the entire Ming Dynasty."

"It is estimated that some people in the DPRK and China are worried that we will make a windfall here, so they sent people to supervise us."

Li Jin said with a disdainful face:

"These people are red-eyed, and here in Hepu County are as poor as ghosts, how can they make a windfall?"

Zhu Biao waved his hand, "This kind of thing will be talked about later, even if more officials come, we have a clear conscience, these officials are just decorations." ”

"Now that the opening of the sea in Hepu County has been agreed, what should we do next?"

This is the crux of the matter, now that Li Jin said all kinds of promises, now that the sea has been decided, it is time for Li Jin to fulfill his promises.

"Let's continue to work for relief and recruit people to build ports and wharves."

"In addition to the port wharf, there are also county seats and official roads in Shanghu County, all of which must be repaired."

"Once the news of the opening of Hepu County comes out, businessmen from the entire southwest region will be attracted to our Hepu County, which will form a siphon effect, and I am afraid that the entire Hepu County will be crowded at that time."

Li Jin talked eloquently and began to describe the next administrative direction to everyone.

"We want to get ahead of these people and build Hepu County, not to mention anything else, at least the county seat of Hepu County will be expanded to the level of Shanghu County."

"Where there are people, there is consumption, and where consumption grows, real estate will become a huge wealth."

"Develop real estate first, and after selling real estate continuously, you can earn your first pot of gold."

"Then exchange all this silver for tea, porcelain, silk, and go to sea to do business, which is the king."

"Next, it's time for us to get rich."

When Lan Yu heard the beautiful scene described by Li Jin, her eyes couldn't help but light up, she had finally come to the right place.

As Li Jin said, this Hepu County will inevitably become the trade center of the southwest region in the future.

Not to mention keeping up with Shanghai County, at least the population will be dozens of times more than now.

At that point, what is the most valuable thing? Not real estate yet? With these plots, they didn't even have to go to sea to do business, they could get a lot of wealth.

If you rely on the convenience of Hepu County to go to sea to do business with countries in the Nanyang region, then your wealth will increase exponentially, which is the right way!

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and act, I just want to make money now!! ”

Lan Yu's big voice was trembling, very excited.

It's just that Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed, and said with some embarrassment:

"If we do this, won't it be good for the people of Hepu County?"

Li Jin shook his head and said:

"Wrong, big mistake!!"

"Only when Hepu County develops, and the people of Hepu County are locals, can they live a better life."

"At that time, they will even need to rely on rent to support their families, and they will no longer have to work in the fields, this is the fairy life of their dreams, how can it be bad for them?"

"In this matter, let's speed up the pace, otherwise after everyone in the world knows the news that Hepu County is about to open to the sea, the land price in Hepu County will be more than this."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he was just silent, while Zhu Di and Lan Yu were excited and eager to try.

Then Li Jin asked again:

"What about one more thing? Didn't you say two things? ”

朱棣 says:

"The army of the Marquis of Yingchuan has arrived in Guangxi."

"Yesterday, they sent someone to Hepu County to contact us, wanting to ask us if we should directly destroy the toast in Nanning to show deterrence."

"After all, the next step is to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, if you don't kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, I'm afraid the policy will not be easy to promote."

Li Jin touched his chin and suggested:

"It's a bit too hasty to change the land and return it to the river now."

"The 100,000 army of the Marquis of Yingchuan is really a waste in Nanning Mansion, so it is better to suggest that they come to Hepu County."

"In the future, the development of Hepu County will inevitably attract covetousness, and the Marquis of Yingchuan will need to help defend it."

"In addition, the rise of Hepu County can attract other toasts in Guangxi to come, we just need to wait for the rabbit, we can continue to attract these toasts, and then change the soil and return to the stream, the resistance will be greatly reduced."

Zhu Biao, who was originally silent, agreed very much after hearing Li Jin's words.

He felt that if he rashly made a move on the southwest toast, it was likely to cause riots in the southwest.

But if it is tempted by profit, and then forced by force, it is presumably that the toast in the southwest region will be better than imagined.

"Lord Li is scheming, I will write a letter to the Marquis of Yingchuan and ask him to lead the army to come immediately."

"Presumably he will be happy to come to our Hepu County."

Li Jin reminded on the side:

"Don't forget to write a letter to the emperor about this matter, otherwise the emperor will blame him, and you and I can't afford it!"

Zhu Biao nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, and several people discussed the next plan again, and then began to act separately.
