In the blink of an eye, two months passed in a flash.

Hepu County, once the starting port of the ancient maritime trade of the Han and Tang dynasties, this place is rich in pearls, the geographical position is superior, the mountains and the sea, the beautiful scenery is victorious, the economic development in the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, can also be called a prosperous scene.

It's just that since the Ming Dynasty promulgated the ban on the sea, Hepu County has been in a slump, the victims are everywhere, the people are hungry, the clothes are not covered, and it has instantly degenerated into the poorest area in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, after Li Jin arrived, he started a large-scale infrastructure construction here, and with the help of Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Lan Yu and others, the scene of Hepu County has taken on a new look.

As far as the eye can see, the new expressway is like a dragon lying on the mountain, stretching endlessly, and the eight highways that have been built to the outside are from south to north, from east to west, attracting merchants and people from all walks of life, and they are constantly coming and going.

In particular, the news of the opening of the sea stimulated the surrounding businessmen, and after the completion of the expressway, hundreds of people and businessmen flocked to Hepu County, crowded with people, and merchants gathered.

People are excited to walk on the wide road, without the dust brought by the previous road, replaced by the comfort of the road that is now extremely flat and the fresh air in between.

The ships coming and going in the port, the sails are like clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and the big ships come and go, and the materials on board are extremely rich.

Batches of tea, porcelain, silk, and more local ornaments, all kinds of pearls, beryl crystal mixed charms, etc., are all dazzling, and ships come and go, and there are constantly sailors and laborers to transport supplies to the outside in a cycle.

When the night comes, the lights are on, the sails are lit, the lights on the sea are changing, and the grand occasion of business and trade in Hepu Port jumps in front of you.

The Ming Dynasty implemented a ban on the sea, closed the country, and the Hongwu Dynasty was even more forbidden to go to the sea, and the sea trade that had always been proud of the Song Dynasty was completely cut off in the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, Li Jin later asked Zhu Biao to help him read the book, and finally opened a window in Hepu County in the southwest.

Hepu County, since the Han and Tang dynasties, has been the starting point of China's maritime trade, and the port location is very important, and it is one of the closest ports to enter the South China Sea.

From here, it is very convenient to reach various countries in the South Seas.

Since Li Jin took office, he has continuously strengthened the construction of Hepu County, and in less than half a year, this Hepu County has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, Hepu County was poor, but with the issuance of the sea ban, Hepu County was completely reduced to a poor county, and there was no longer the prosperity it used to be.

And now Hepu County, thousands of merchants gathered, the people are high-spirited, everyone has something to do, under Li Jin's policy of vigorously developing work-for-relief, both the Turen and the Han people, under the leadership of the government, began to frantically build infrastructure.

With the progress of infrastructure construction, more and more people have joined the engineering team of Hepu County, and more and more people have been living better and better because they work on the construction site and earn silver taels.

After Li Jin planned all the frameworks, he became the shopkeeper, lingering among food and beauties every day, so happy.

The busiest is Zhu Biao, as the actual ruler of Hepu County, no matter how big or small the affairs, he is in charge of all the affairs.

On this day, Li Jin was enjoying food in the mansion, and Zhu Biao rushed in with Lan Yu Zhu Di and others.

"Bang!"

I only heard a bang, but the door was kicked open by Lan Yu's kick.

Li Jin, who was enjoying the food, was startled by this sound and almost choked himself on a mouthful of food.

Turning his head to look over, he saw Zhu Biao's face was ugly, and there were Lan Yu and Zhu Di standing next to him, who also did not have a good face.

And Lan Yu put away his big feet that had just kicked the door with an arrogant face, and his eyes were even more inexplicably angry.

A few people just looked at Li Jin, who was sitting in front of a table of food.

Li Jin took a sip of water, smoothed down the food in his mouth, and then asked unhurriedly:

"What happened to make a few of you so... Well... Agitated? ”

Looking at Li Jin's indulgent appearance, Zhu Biao and the others were so angry that they didn't fight anywhere!

They have been busy for a few days, but this one is very good, the food is constantly served, and the spirit is full of energy.

Looking at a few of them, they can't eat or sleep well, and they are tired and fall asleep every day, especially themselves, they have lost a lot of weight, so in comparison, who can bear it?

Hum!

Looking at Li Jin in front of him, Zhu Biao snorted coldly, and then unceremoniously counted down:

"As the prefect of Qinzhou, but you stay in the mansion all day long and indulge in pleasure, are you not afraid of the people's riots if you are so neglectful of government?"

Hearing this, Li Jin chuckled lightly and explained casually:

"It is said that the wise work hard, the fool work, and the capable work hard."

"You are so capable, you are young, and the management of Hepu County is suitable for sharpening you."

Looking at Zhu Biao, whose face was still angry, Li Jin said kindly:

"Hepu County is undergoing great changes that have not been encountered in a thousand years, as long as Hepu County can be managed well, you can build a county comparable to Shanghu County in the future, this is an opportunity for you, you have to grasp it."

Do you want to say something beautiful?

Zhu Biao instantly rolled his eyes in his heart, and said speechlessly:

"I see that you obviously want to be lazy, and you even say such a high-sounding reason!"

Li Jin just shook his head, smiling without saying a word.

For Zhu Biao, although he doesn't know Zhu Biao's true identity, he follows him, but he just wants to learn how to govern, he just happens to be the beauty of adults, and they are beneficial to each other, so why not do it.

But Lan Yu on the side didn't care about this, he asked bluntly:

"Lord Li, I said that I would send troops to Annan in one month, but now what?"

"One month and another month, it's been three months now, when are we going to do it?"

When Lan Yu and Zhu Di arrived in Hepu County, Li Jin conspired with several people, intending to attack Annan and plunder Annan's resources.

However, since the opening of the sea, Li Jin has not made any movement, which makes Lan Yu a little anxious.

Li Jin raised his eyes and asked:

"Have those soldiers already trained?"

Sapphire nodded:

"The army of 100,000 is already ready to go."

"Is the ship ready?"

Zhu Di replied:

"The officers and men of the navy are waiting for Lord Li's order."

Li Jin nodded lightly, and lost his sentence for a while:

"I can't do it yet."

When Lan Yu heard this, she suddenly became anxious, and she couldn't help but shout angrily:

"Why can't you do it yet? The brothers have been waiting for a long time, and I swore to them that I would take them to drink wine and eat meat. ”

"At the beginning, Lord Li said that he plundered a large area of Annan's resources, there are countless slaves there, not to mention the treasures of the Annan royal family, has Lord Li forgotten this?"

"But now a few months have passed, and we haven't caught anything except the wind and rain training."

"Brothers, my eyes are already green from hunger, Master Li must give me an explanation today!"

Even Zhu Di next to him didn't look good.

It was Li Jin who said that he was doing it, and now everything is ready, but Li Jin is good, and if he doesn't move, he knows that he is enjoying himself in the house all day.

After listening to Lan Yu's complaints, Li Jin still said with a firm face:

"It's definitely going to be fought, but we still need to wait for a chance."

"What chance?"

Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

Li Jin smiled and said:

"Of course, it is an opportunity to attack Annan justifiably, and even slaughter Annan completely, without being held accountable."

Zhu Biao, Lan Yu and Zhu Di were all shocked, and they didn't understand what Li Jin was waiting for, "When will this opportunity come?" ”

Li Jin only smiled mysteriously, and finally whispered:

"Soon, maybe the opportunity is already on the way."
