Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly summoned overnight. He was shocked and apprehensive. If he enters the palace late at night, there must be a big event.

"I don't know what your Majesty's business is, but I suddenly announced you into the palace in the middle of the night." Mrs. Guo said while helping Xu Da put on his coat.

Xu Da shook his head: "Your Majesty must have something important to do, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry."

"Why didn't you say it at dinner just now?" Mrs. Guo was deeply puzzled, thinking that the emperor's heart is really hard to guess.

"The Holy Will cannot be speculated at will." Xu Da said, "Rest early, I will go back as soon as I go."

Li Shanchang had already fallen asleep, but when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly announced him to enter the palace, he didn't know what happened, so he hurriedly got up again, got into the carriage and entered the palace.

When he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Zhu Yuanzhang was writing something. Seeing that Li Shanchang and Xu Da had already arrived, he raised his hand: "There is no need to salute, I have asked you two to discuss important matters, so don't worry about those red tapes."

Xu Da and Li Shanchang looked at each other, then turned to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Recently, there are only two biggest things, one is the salt affairs, and the other is the sea ban. I just don't know what Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly called the two of them into the palace for.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen, paused, and said: "The two lovers also know that there are two major issues that need to be resolved urgently this year, one is salt and iron, and the other is sea ban. Don't think about it, I have been worried for a long time. Now I have thought of a solution, so I specially summoned the two lovers overnight to discuss state affairs."

Li Shanchang cupped his hands: "It is our duty as courtiers to share your worries for His Majesty."

Although Li Shanchang's face was still calm, his heart was already turbulent at this time. Ever since Zhu Xiongying learned from Zhu Xiongying's air that day and reported it to Zhu Yuanzhang, his heart could not be calm for the past two days.

The matter of sea transportation is of great importance. Once the sea transportation is really started, it is bound to be obstructed by the aristocratic family. But if Zhu Yuanzhang is really determined to order the lifting of the sea ban and the implementation of sea transportation, it means that his advice has been adopted. Then he is a meritorious minister.

Although Li Shanchang didn't love the officialdom fame and fortune, he still longed to be reused and make contributions to the country, and now he seemed to see an opportunity.

It depends on whether the bet on Zhu Xiongying was right this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn: "My Ming Dynasty has a large population, but the production of salt has not been able to keep up. Firstly, the raw materials are insufficient, and secondly, the labor force is insufficient. Now that I know the method of making salt from salt ore, I have decided to transfer the salt to the south. The refugees who were affected by the disaster and went north recruited artisans who made salt, and provided relief with their work, which has solved the problem of refugees and the matter of salt making.”

Xu Da was greatly shocked. He did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang could think of a way to solve the problem of the refugees with work in lieu of relief. In this way, the excessive financial pressure caused by the government's relief could be avoided, and it could also help the refugees find a reliable way to settle down. It is indeed true. Great way to kill two birds with one stone.

"Now I appoint Wei Guogong to personally supervise the salt affairs in the name of Wei Guogong's mansion, and produce more and better salt for our Ming Dynasty. I hope Wei Guogong will not let me down." Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xu Da.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da to supervise the salt affairs in the name of the Duke of Wei, which means that the Duke of Wei has the right to make salt and enjoy the management of salt at the same time. You must know that these things have always been the affairs of the government, and other princes and nobles cannot Contaminated.

Zhu Yuanzhang's move is a great honor to the entire Duke Wei's mansion!

"The humble minister takes orders, and I will be His Majesty's saddle and horse!" Xu Da saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then turned to Li Shanchang: "The last time the Taifu talked about the opening of the sea in the court, I thought about it for a long time, and I know that the Taifu said it well. This opening of the sea is indeed a great achievement for the benefit of the people. A lot."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked over: "Huaiying talked to me a lot today, and I suddenly realized it. The sea ban is actually just a way to organize the people and private merchants to communicate and trade with the outside world, but this sea ban is There is no way to organize some aristocratic families to make money from the middle, and in the end, all the money goes into their pockets, and it is the common people who suffer. As the king of a country, I really have failed the people."

"Besides, once the sea transportation is opened, there will be an endless supply of raw materials for salt making, which can solve the problem of salt shortage." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Your Majesty's ability to do this is the blessing of the people of Ming Dynasty." Li Shanchang smiled.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Today, I appointed the Taifu as the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and fully responsible for the opening of the sea. All officials must obey the orders and make no mistakes."

Li Shanchang almost cried with joy, now that he was directly promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang, he no longer needs to be idle, and directly received a first-rank title!God really has eyes!He, Li Shanchang, is finally about to flex his muscles again!

"Tomorrow, an edict will be issued, declaring to the world that anyone who dares to obstruct, no matter who it is, will not be lightly forgiven, and those who violate it will be executed." Zhu Yuanzhang flicked his sleeves and sat back on his chair.

Li Shanchang and Xu Da made people kneel down and shouted together: "Your Majesty is holy!"

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is really going to start doing it this time. Those aristocratic families who want to obstruct him have already violated Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion.

The aristocratic family has monopolized this big cake for too long, and Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand towards this cake.

Xu Da and Li Shanchang thanked the Lord Long En again, and then retreated one after the other.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the pitch-black sky, and suddenly laughed three times, feeling as if he was full of strength in an instant. This country, this world, belonged to him, and Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely make a great achievement!
Thinking of Zhu Xiongying's smiling face, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled gently again.

"Duke Wei, go slowly."

"Teacher, go slowly."

Li Shanchang and Xu Da said goodbye to each other at the gate of the palace, and then went back to their homes in their carriages.

"Housekeeper, bring me a jug of wine!" Li Shanchang shouted to the butler as soon as he entered the door.

The butler stepped forward: "Master, it's late at night, and it's very cold. Drinking alcohol is afraid of hurting your body."

Li Shanchang shook his head: "It's nothing, it's not easy to be presumptuous for a while, let the old man have a good drink today!"

Li Shanchang said loudly.

Seeing that he couldn't compete with him, the butler turned around and went to get the wine from the wine cellar.

Li Shanchang was actually a drinker before, but when the fall of the prince clan implicated him in his official career, he gradually stopped drinking. He didn't expect to drink suddenly today.

"Master, here comes the wine."

Li Shanchang took it, took a big sip, and smiled at the housekeeper: "I am happy today, because I made the right bet!"
