Early the next morning.

Fu Youde received a secret letter from Hepu County.

"Marquis Changxing, you come to see this letter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to lead our troops south now and meet them in Hepu County."

Fu Youde showed Geng Bingwen Zhu Biao's secret letter, and asked with a puzzled face:

"Hepu County is just a small place, and it is not easy to feed 100,000 people, and now we are still allowed to go to Hepu County."

"Is there enough to feed our army of 100,000?"

Geng Bingwen looked at the secret letter carefully, and after seeing the content on it clearly, he said softly:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a person who can't distinguish priorities, since he suggested that we go to Hepu County, it naturally makes sense."

"Moreover, Hepu County is close to the sea, even if there is not enough grain and grass, grain and grass can be transported by sea."

"Unlike our side, grain and grass are transported from Yingtian, first by water, and then by land, and there are 100,000 mountains in the middle, which is really too troublesome."

When Fu Youde heard this, he still felt that it was not easy to do, and said in embarrassment:

"The emperor asked us to come here in the southwest and change the land and return to the stream."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to go to Hepu County first, who do we want to listen to?"

Geng Bingwen is also confused, an old man, a son.

It stands to reason that they should listen to Emperor Laozi, but Zhu Biao is in the location of Hepu County, and they are no more than three hundred miles away from Fu Youde.

It can be said that the situation in the southwest region, perhaps Zhu Biao knows more than them.

With the character of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is absolutely impossible to delay state affairs without a purpose, and such an arrangement must be reasonable.

"I think I'd better go first!"

"When you get over there to figure out the situation, you will guard the Chinese army here, and we will discuss it when I come back."

"Otherwise, the 100,000 army will run back and forth, I am afraid it will cause the morale of the army to shake."

Geng Bingwen proposed the most secure plan, Fu Youde pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement and said:

"In this way, it will be annoying to Changxinghou!"

Geng Bingwen said goodbye to Fu Youde, took dozens of personal soldiers, and went south and went straight to Hepu County.

...

Since Li Jin conspired with Lan Yu and Zhu Biao a few days ago, the people of Hepu County have discovered that many vacant plots of land in Hepu County have actually started to build a large number of buildings recently.

It's not just those ownerless land, but also some properties where people live in them, which are also bought by people in a low-key manner.

After everyone reacted, the entire Hepu County had begun a vigorous infrastructure action.

It's just that at this time, the real estate and land in Hepu County were all bought at a low price by mysterious people, and then these mysterious people began to build green buildings, restaurants, inns, and large entertainment clubs on the purchased land.

It seems that overnight, Hepu County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's just that these changes make Hepu people feel inexplicable.

The reason is very simple, although there are some people here in Hepu County, but these people are all poor ghosts, where do they need so many entertainment facilities?

It is already extremely difficult for them to barely survive in Hepu County, so how can they have the money to visit these entertainment facilities again?

However, the construction of Hepu County will not stop because of the doubts of the people, but will intensify.

The entire territory of Hepu County seems to have become a big construction site.

Not only the county seat of Hepu County, but also the continuous expansion of real estate, that is, the official roads outside Hepu County, and four more in a row, in order to provide convenience to Hepu County.

In addition, the port terminals in Hepu County, as well as various factories, are also rising from the ground.

Behind all this, standing is naturally Li Jin, Zhu Biao, Lan Yu and others.

For the sake of wages, the people and local people began to respond to the call of Hepu County and actively participated in this unprecedented large-scale infrastructure.

When Geng Bingwen arrived in Hepu County, he saw such a scene.

Construction is taking place everywhere, and all the people are like tireless machines, busy shuttling around the construction site.

It's not just the men who do the work, the women are also recruited to cook and do the laundry.

It can be said that the entire Hepu County has been mobilized in order to meet the next opening of the sea.

Geng Bingwen has been in the court for so long, but he has never seen such a grand scene, and this scene made him feel very shocked.

However, thinking that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in the city, he must have made these things out, and he feels great admiration for the Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

The crown prince is only twenty, and he can do such a big thing, and he will definitely be a generation of Ming monarchs in the future.

was thinking about how to find the prince Zhu Biao, and saw a familiar figure on a construction site outside the city.

"Your Highness!!"

Geng Bingwen saw the prince Zhu Biao, and actually personally led people to take the lead in the construction site, although he had not seen him for many days, but the familiar figure of the prince still made Geng Bingwen see it at a glance.

Rubbing his eyes in disbelief, after confirming that the person was Zhu Biao, Geng Bingwen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly dismounted and ran in the direction of Zhu Biao.

Geng Bingwen's battle like this will naturally attract the attention of many people, and Zhu Biao also saw Geng Bingwen clearly at this time.

Putting down the guy in his hand, patting the dust on his palm casually, Zhu Biao walked towards Geng Bingwen.

"Changxinghou, why are you here?"

When the two met, Geng Bingwen had not yet spoken, but Zhu Biao spoke first.

Geng Bingwen was about to bow down, but was stopped by Zhu Biao and explained softly:

"Don't reveal my identity, just call me Lord Huang!"

Geng Bingwen nodded suddenly, and then said:

"Lord Huang, I received your secret letter a few days ago, and the Marquis of Yingchuan asked me to come first to check on the situation in Hepu County."

"The Marquis of Yingchuan is afraid that it will be difficult to support an army of 100,000 in a large place in Hepu County."

Zhu Biao understood this and casually explained:

"At this point, you can reassure Yingchuan Hou that the opening of the sea in Hepu County is imminent."

"In the future, the grain and grass materials needed by Hepu County can be transported through the open port."

"Not to mention a 100,000 army, even if it is an army of 300,000, Hepu County can afford it."

"Now that Hepu County is undergoing major infrastructure construction, we have built a school field for you in the north and east of the city that can hold 200,000 troops."

Hearing that Zhu Biao had already planned, Geng Bingwen was slightly relieved in his heart, but thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, Geng Bingwen asked again:

"Before we led the army here, the emperor asked us to be stationed in Nanning in order to implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the river for the imperial court."

"Now that we're changing the location without permission, is there something wrong with this?"

"I have already written this matter to the emperor, and presumably the emperor will not refuse."

Zhu Biao continued to appease Geng Bingwen and said:

"If you are not at ease, you can also wait until the Holy Decree arrives before coming to Hepu."

"As for the policy of changing the land and returning it to the stream, it is not safe to implement it immediately."

"The southwest toast is the same as the branch, if it is really because of the implementation of the land change and return to the stream, these toasts will rebel en masse, and then the southwest will be completely plunged into war."

"So we need to wait a little time to change the land and return it to the river, and when the time is ripe, it will be a matter of course."

Geng Bingwen was a little puzzled and asked:

"Dare to ask my lord, when is this time?"

"Hepu County opens the sea!!"

Zhu Biao once again talked about the opening of the sea in Hepu County, and explained Li Jin's plan yesterday to Geng Bingwen again.

When Geng Bingwen heard this, he was deeply convinced, and then, under the leadership of Zhu Biao, stayed around Hepu County for a few days.

Although Hepu County seems to be very depressed now, the engineering facilities seen from various construction sites make Geng Bingwen feel that this place may become the most prosperous city in the southwest of Daming, and there is no one!
