Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes and pondered. Zhu Biao and the other two stood beside him, not daring to disturb him.

Originally, Li Jie was still considering whether to tell us about the gold and silver mountains of America and the grain yielded several thousand kilograms per mu. However, after thinking about it for a while, he gave up this plan because he understood the truth that too much is too much.

It’s easy to understand the gold and silver mountains of America. After all, there are silver mines in Japan before, but the yield of several thousand kilograms of grain per mu is a bit exaggerated. Especially Lao Zhu was originally a farmer and knew the yield of grain per mu best. However, with his stubbornness, it is hard to believe that there are still several thousand kilograms of grain per mu in this world.

So unless you can take out the physical objects, it is difficult to convince the suspicious Lao Zhu. But America is too far away, where can Li Jie go to find potatoes and sweet potatoes for him?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally opened his eyes, then glanced at Li Jie and the other two before speaking: "I have to think about this matter carefully. You all go down. I will give a clear answer tomorrow!"

Li Jie was also a little disappointed when he heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had not made a decision, but he did not dare to say anything else, and immediately surrendered to Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunsheng.

As soon as he left the warm-up pavilion, Zhu Biao grabbed Li Jie and asked anxiously, "Li Jie, since there are still the Edor Mongolians outside, will they make a comeback one day?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, although the Mongols have captured such a large territory, most of them have been divided into Khanate. Moreover, after they have gained a foothold in the local area, they cannot just leave. They will not pose any threat to our Ming Dynasty for the time being!" Li Jie replied with a smile.

Although Timur in the west is very strong, Li Jie is not worried at all, because Central Asia and the Ming Dynasty are too far apart. Even if the other party really goes on an expedition, they still need to cross the desert and the Gobi. During the expedition, there must be logistics problems, and they have to face the Ming Dynasty at its peak. Not to mention Timur, even Temujin will be defeated and returned.

After hearing Li Jie's answer, Zhu Biao felt relieved. At this time, Zhu Yunxiu interrupted excitedly: "Father, the Mongolians are just defeated generals of our Ming Dynasty. If they really dare to come, then we will fight back and take down all the land occupied by the Mongolians. I want to see what the extreme west land looks like?"

"You have to be very angry. You must have the ability of your grandfather!" Zhu Biao was not angry when he heard his son's ambitious words and immediately reminded with a smile that it is a good thing for young people to be motivated, but as they grow older, many people will become timid. It is not that they are timid, but that they are more and more concerned about them.

Li Jie laughed when he heard Zhu Yunxi's words. Zhu Yunxi's performance made him more and more satisfied. The Ming Dynasty needs to change, which requires a passionate and ideal emperor to take the helm. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have been established and he has not influenced much, but Zhu Yunxi is still young and has unlimited possibilities in the future.

In the evening, Li Jie returned home originally wanted to visit his uncle Liu Ying, but after all, Liu Ying was going to go back to his hometown to avoid the limelight. I don’t know when he would leave. In addition, Liu Yi has not come recently. Could it be that he is preparing for the Tiecajun?

Unfortunately, Li Jie has been too busy these days and can't take time at all. It's too late to come back today. Fortunately, I'm almost busy now. Now I'm waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to express his opinion. After the matter is over, he will have time to visit Liu Ying.

The next morning, Li Jie entered the palace again. He did not rush to see Zhu Yuanzhang, but went to Zuo Chunfang to attend classes with Zhu Yunyu. He was summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang until halfway through class. Zhu Yunyu wanted to go, but was criticized by the teacher, so he could only return to his seat and continue listening to the class with dejected expression.

Li Jie quickly walked to the warm room. When he entered the room, he saw the globe being placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk at a glance, which made him happy because it was an excellent omen.

Sure enough, when Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Jie coming in, he spoke directly: "I have agreed to the conditions of those merchants. Next, you are responsible for contacting these merchants and cooperating with the Ministry of Revenue to deliver the money and grain to Zhang Dingbian and others!"

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Li Jie was also happy when he heard this and immediately said. Although he had already guessed when he came in, he felt completely relieved until he heard Zhu Yuanzhang agreeing in person.

However, just as Li Jie finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again: "Zhang Dingbian and others should not be able to use so much money and grain, so when the Ministry of Revenue handed over to you, it will deduct a part of it. After all, it is not easy for the court, and money is needed everywhere!"

Li Jie also curled his lips secretly when he heard this. Old Zhu really plucked his hair, and even the money and food of the poor people Zhang Dingbian, was deducted. However, this is normal. After all, the conditions that Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to at most were only 200,000 guan. Now it is several times more. So much money and food will definitely not be generous to Zhang Dingbian.

Thinking of this, Li Jie immediately nodded and said, "I understand!"

"Very good, you go and do it. The Ministry of Revenue will send someone to contact you soon!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said. He has always been a decisive person. As long as he makes a decision, he will never delay.

Li Jie immediately left, and his heart was full of excitement. With Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, the sea ban was finally torn apart by him. Next, it depends on Zhang Dingbian and the others' performance. If they can conquer Jiuzhou, they can promote commercial exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Jiuzhou. Although Japan is only one of the routes of sea trade, as long as this line is managed well, it is natural to develop other routes in the future.

After Li Jie left the palace, he immediately came to the Fufu Division again and sent the Jinyiwei to gather the wealthy businessmen. These wealthy businessmen were also anxiously waiting for news about Li Jie, so they soon came to the Fufu Division again.

"Your Majesty agrees!" After everyone arrived, Li Jie immediately announced in public.

After hearing the good news, some people slapped the table happily, some were filled with tears, some were sitting there motionless, and some were even more excited. After all, the shackles that had been pressed on their bodies for many years were finally about to open, which was like a person who had been in jail for many years suddenly regained his freedom.

After these people calmed down, Li Jie discussed with them the specific matters of the investment. After all, these people did not really spend money. In fact, even with their wealth, they could not afford so much money at once. More of them were converted into money. For example, Gu Xuewen donated 100,000 guan, of which 80,000 guan were all kinds of physical goods.

These physical objects include food, cloth, and even iron ingots, which all need to be transported to Ningbo Port. Fortunately, the big merchant named Lu built a ship himself, and the money he donated was mainly converted into a ship, so he only needed to send people from each family to transport the materials to Ningbo Port. As for the negotiations between these merchants and Zhang Dingbian, Li Jie would also help them contact him at that time.

These wealthy businessmen are very enthusiastic, so Li Jie quickly discussed with them a specific investment method. There are still some more cumbersome things left, but the officials of the Ministry of Revenue will worry about this.

After the discussion was completed, the wealthy businessmen left happily, but Gu Xuewen stayed at the end. After the person was finished, he stepped forward to salute Li Jie and said, "Thank you, Li Bandu, for winning this opportunity for us to go out to sea!"

"You are polite to Manager Gu. I just started this matter. You are the ones who really contributed to it!" Li Jie also replied with a smile. Chen Wansan founded Sihai Business Company. After his death, Gu Xuewen served as the big shopkeeper of Sihai Business Company. From the name of this business, you can know that Chen Wansan started with Hai Trade, but unfortunately Sihai Business Company has long been disreputable.

"If Li Banduo had not taken the lead, even if we were strong, we would have no place to use it!" Gu Xuewen once again praised Li Jie, and then took out something from his arms and put it on his hands, "I heard that Li Bandu still lives outside the city, and it is really inconvenient to get to and from the palace. There is a house below not far from the imperial city. Please don't refuse!"

What Gu Xuewen gave Li Jie turned out to be the land deed and house deed of a house. As long as you take these two things and go to the government to change your name, this house will be from Li Jie. You must know that no matter what era the house in the capital was speculated, and many officials may not necessarily buy a house.

Li Jie reached out to grab the house deed and land deeds, and found that the house was not only close to the imperial city, but also occupied a large area. It is estimated that if there is no ten thousand coins in this kind of house, it is impossible to take it down.

"Tsk tsk~, Shopkeeper Gu is such a big deal!" Li Jie looked at the house deed and land deeds in his hand, and couldn't help but be shocked by the financial resources of the Shen family. You must know that Gu Xuewen had just given out 100,000 yuan and now he gave him such a house worth tens of thousands of yuan. It seems that although Chen Wansan is gone, the wealth accumulated by the Shen family is still beyond people's imagination.

Seeing Li Jie taking the house deed and land deed, Gu Xuewen was also happy and immediately saluted again: "As long as Li Bandu likes it, it's fine. Thanks to Li Bandu's help this time, our Shen family is willing to work hard for Li Bandu in the future!"

Gu Xuewen is not only here to give gifts, but more importantly, he wants to defect to Li Jie. After all, he has already found out clearly. Although Li Jie is young, he has a bright future. Of course, he has to hug him tightly when his thigh appears in front of him.

However, when Li Jie heard Gu Xuewen's words, he smiled slightly, and then stuffed the house deed and land deeds in his hand into Gu Xuewen's hands, which made the other party stunned. He didn't understand why Li Jie returned the things he gave back. Could it be that he thought his gift was too light?

"Shopkeeper Gu, I have to take care of you, but there is no need to have a house. You just need to do this matter well, even if it is the best reward for me!" Li Jie said solemnly. He was a very rich person in his previous life, but he was not short of money in this life, let alone a house to live in, so there was no need for him to collect such money.

"But……"

Gu Xuewen wanted to persuade Li Jie again when he heard Li Jie's words, but was interrupted by Li Jie's wave and said, "Shopkeeper Gu, given that you support me so much this time, I will remind you that General Lan should not give him any more money!"
