In Li Shanchang's mansion, Li Shanchang's room was brightly lit.

Li Shanchang just had dinner, and now he is sitting in front of the lamp reading a book.

The butler came in and reported: "My lord, there are Master Lin, a scholar of the Intermediate Palace, Master Huang, a scholar of the Jianjian Palace, and Master Cui, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, to see you."

Li Shanchang nodded: "The old man already knows, take the three of them to the study first, the old man will come soon."

"Yes."

The butler stepped back.

After about a stick of incense, Li Shanchang entered the study.

There were already three middle-aged men standing in the study, all dressed in casual clothes, they all looked very elegant and upright.

Seeing Li Shanchang coming in, the three of them got up quickly: "Students greet the teacher."

Li Shanchang nodded, these three people are all students he taught, and they are all officials in the court now.

Lin Shuze, a scholar of the Intermediate Palace University, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know what the teacher called the three of us here today?"

Li Shanchang sat down slowly: "Sit down first, it's not important, I just want to chat with you."

Although Li Shanchang said so, but he was an official in the same dynasty, and there were some truths in some official words. Although the three of them were not as senior as Li Shanchang, they all understood these reasons.

"If the students are doing something wrong, please ask the teacher to give more advice." Lin Shuze said gently.

Li Shanchang nodded: "The old man called the three of you here today. I really want to mention something to the three of you."

Huang Zhi, a scholar of the Jiangxi Temple, is short in stature and very clever, and he can see what Li Shanchang wants to say at a glance.

At this juncture, the most important thing is nothing else but the sea ban. Li Shanchang invited the three of them, probably for this reason.

"The teacher asked the students to come, but he wanted to tell the students about the sea ban."

Li Shanchang chuckled and nodded.

"Among the three, you are the smartest."

Cui Kaishen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, has always been a clean and honest official and devoted himself to state affairs. Li Shanchang also likes to talk about state affairs with him most on weekdays.

"Teacher, what do you think about the sea ban?" Cui Kaishen asked.

"Well, wait for the three of you, and listen to me in detail."

Li Shanchang, Lin Shuze, Huang Zhi, and Cui Kaishen shared Zhu Xiongying's views on the sea ban during the day.It's just that Zhu Xiongying's name is hidden, after all, it's not easy for him to show off too much now.

The three of them were all amazed after hearing this.

"The teacher was able to think of this method, and the students feel ashamed." Cui Kai said modestly.

Li Shanchang: "The old man has also listened to the expert's advice. When I go to court tomorrow, I will report it to Your Majesty. Then you should know what to do?"

The three nodded in unison.

Li Shanchang has been an official in the court for many years, and naturally he has a deep foundation in the court. In order to ensure that there is nothing wrong with admonishing tomorrow, he must take care of it.

The next day, Fengtian Hall.

"All my loves also know that the matter of the sea ban needs to be dealt with urgently recently. What is it, all my loves, who has thought of a solution?" Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the civil and military officials above the hall.

There was silence below.

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart, and said again: "I think the sea ban can be relaxed a little bit, and the sea transportation can be reopened. What do you think?"

Doctor Yazhong hurriedly stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, this sea ban is of great importance, and I think it is absolutely forbidden to open the sea!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Minister of the Ministry of War also came out to echo, "There are still Zhang Shicheng's remnants along the coast, if this group of thieves are not dead, and then make a comeback, it will be bad..."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt disappointed when he looked at these people who were greedy for life and afraid of death. All the civil and military officials in the court marveled at everyone who could say something useful.

Worse than a child!

"Your Majesty, I thought that not only should the sea ban be abolished, but land reform should also be carried out!" At this moment, all civil and military officials turned their heads to the speaker.

This person is the Taifu Li Shanchang who has not spoken in court for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

Li Shanchang really lived up to his expectations.

"Oh? What's the Taifu's opinion?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, I think that once this shipping is opened, it will bring great benefits to my Ming Dynasty! This shipping must be opened!" Li Shanchang said loudly, his voice was strong and deep, with a kind of domineering, resounding through the entire Fengtian Hall.

Huang Zicheng, Zhu Yunwen's teacher, squinted at an official beside him, who immediately understood, stepped forward to salute Zhu Yuanzhang, and then turned to Li Shanchang.

"Why does Tai Tuo advocate shipping by sea?"

Li Shanchang said: "The purpose of opening the sea is to strengthen the country and enrich the people. If the sea ban lasts for a long time, it will only make our people more miserable and poor. If things go on like this, how will it benefit our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, quietly watching Li Shanchang talk.

"The sea ban can indeed prevent my Ming from wars, and it can prevent the undead from colluding with traitors and endangering my Ming. But if I continue to implement the sea ban because of this, the old man feels that I may be complacent, and it will cause harm and no benefit. !"

Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled and said nothing: "Teacher thinks that the benefits of shipping to Ming Dynasty outweigh the disadvantages?"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty exchanged glances with each other, each with their own thoughts, and no one stood up to speak.

Li Shanchang clasped his fists and saluted: "That's right, this sea trade can bring me a lot of money for Ming Dynasty. After the development of sea transportation, the common people can conduct free trade at sea, and the money in this pocket will increase over time. It’s just a matter of enriching the people, instead of guarding the one-third of an acre of land all day long, looking at the crops all over the ground, just waiting to have a meal with God!”

"What the Taifu said is indeed somewhat reasonable." Zhu Yuanzhang naturally hoped that someone could help him to tell the story of the opening of the sea.

If this Li Shanchang really has the ability to make all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty dare not say more, then he, Zhu Yuanzhang, will naturally be able to push forward the sea transportation.

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Who knew that as soon as Li Shanchang finished speaking, someone came out to object immediately.

Li Shanchang snorted softly: "Why not? I and other officials naturally agree with such things that benefit the country and the people. Where did it come from?"

Huang Zhi, a scholar of the Jianjian Temple, also stood up at this time: "Your Majesty, I also think that we should ship by sea."

Lin Shuze, a scholar of the Intermediate Palace University: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Cui Kaishen, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with this scene, and Li Shanchang was indeed quite capable.

At that time, he won three yuan in a row and was the first Jinshi. There are really few people who can match this verbal debate.

Zhu Yuanzhang can naturally see that there are still many people in the court holding back their minds to refute, so let him take a good look at who can stand up again.

Just let him take a good look at Li Shanchang's kung fu!
