These people have lost their value and participated in the rebellion, which also shows that these people are the most unstable group of people in Annan. Li Jin naturally does not want to see these people still living in Annan.
These people were coaxed onto the boat by Zhu Di. They thought that because of their great achievements, they were going to the Ming Dynasty and were rewarded by the Ming Emperor. However, when they got off the boat, they appeared on a large island near the Japanese island.
This is one of the transfer stations for the slave trade between Wadao and Ming Dynasty and Annan. All slaves flowing into or out of Wadao must be transformed here.
Those who succeed in transformation will be sold to various parts of the island and live like slaves from then on, working hard and living in darkness until their miserable life is completely ended.
Those who fail in reform will be happier, because they will be thrown into the sea and fed to sharks. Although they will die, at least they will not accept inhumane torture.
Some people are alive, but more miserable than dead.
I’m talking about these Annan slaves and Japanese island slaves.
After the Annan people arrived, they originally wanted to resist, but after several blows, these people gradually became more honest. Like the Japanese, they gradually became accustomed to obeying orders and prohibitions, allowing them to be beaten and scolded without daring to fight back.
Li Jin carried out various things such as slave trade, relief for work, and expansion of infrastructure. Every day, official documents came from all over Annan like snowflakes, filling Li Jin's papers.
At this moment, Li Jin finally showed his most terrifying scene, which also made Zhu Di understand why Li Jin was able to build Shanghu County from the poorest county into the most prosperous city in the Ming Dynasty.
Because Zhu Di gradually became interested in government affairs, he began to plan to learn from Li Jin how to handle official documents.
But the scene in front of him made Zhu Di stunned.
From the time a piece of official document appeared in Li Jin's hand until Li Jin finished processing it, it never took more than twenty breaths.
Li Jin just glanced briefly from top to bottom and made a quick judgment, which made Zhu Di feel that Li Jin's behavior was too childish.
He immediately asked Li Jin if this was too irresponsible to the people. He made decisions without even reading the official documents and could easily make mistakes.
Li Jin asked Zhu Di, who said he hadn't read the official document? He has read all the official documents.
Zhu Di didn't believe it, so he randomly selected an official document and asked Li Jin about its contents.
Li Jin recited the contents without blinking an eye, and he did so verbatim, which made Zhu Di completely dumbfounded.
He really couldn't believe that Li Jin actually read all the official documents, so he took a few more official documents, but the results of the test were the same as the first one.
Zhu Di was confused, what does Li Jin mean? One eye and ten lines? Never forget? Doing three things at once?
Horrible, so terrifying! !
Zhu Di was completely convinced by Li Jin and was willing to help Li Jin. Under Li Jin's simple and efficient work, Annan was undergoing rapid changes.
As time changed little by little, Annan's infrastructure gradually began to improve, and Li Jin began to build the highway from Hanoi to Hepu.
In Li Jin's plan, this expressway will be the main artery of Hanoi, and it will be the most important link in pushing Annam's economy to its peak.
Of course, in addition to highways, there are also ports.
Annan's largest port, Haicheng Port, was ordered by Li Jin to be expanded at least ten times. This will be Annan's maritime transportation line.
With one south and one north, both sea and land transportation, Annan's transportation facilities have temporarily set up a structure, but the details need to be gradually improved in the future.
Seeing that the house was almost cleaned, Li Jin planned to recruit people from the Ming Dynasty to come to Annan. After all, no matter how beautifully the house was cleaned, people would still have to live in it.
He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Zhu Biao of Hepu County, suggesting that he come to Annan to discuss the next development of Annan and Hepu County.
In fact, the reason why he wrote this letter was because he wanted to use Zhu Biao's power. After all, Zhu Biao's father, Mr. Huang, was a famous person around the emperor.
If you want to successfully immigrate, you still have to rely on Mr. Huang’s help.
After finishing writing, Li Jin sent people to Hepu County, and then began to plan to build a shipyard and steelmaking plant in Haichenggang.
...
Hepu County.
Zhu Biao has had a lot of leisure recently, because after more than half a year of hard work, he is finally on the right track.
The training of Liuguan has also been completed. Although the training time is not long, only two and a half months, it is enough to be competent in some tasks of managing native people.
With the help of these refugee officials, Zhu Biao's work has become much easier. Next, he only needs to grasp the general direction of Hepu County, continue to gather the refugees, and merge the chieftains, so that he can smoothly implement the reform of native land and return to rural areas.
Although those chieftains were sent to the capital by Zhu Biao, as long as these chieftains could understand current affairs, they would not be killed.
Zhu Yuanzhang even bribed chieftains heavily in order to buy horses for thousands of gold, which at least ensured that these people would become rich men honestly.
Of course, the opening of the sea in Hepu County is also a very important matter, but the process of opening the sea has been strictly stipulated by Li Jin. Now, after several months of trial implementation, rules and regulations have long been formed.
The rules and regulations have been formed, and Zhu Biao does not need to spend too much energy on management. After all, there is a municipal shipping department taking care of it at the port. Therefore, Zhu Biao's two main tasks are now gradually on the right track, and he can finally Take a break.
However, just when he was planning to rest for two days, Li Jin's letter arrived in Hepu County at an inappropriate time.
Seeing Li Jin's earnest words, Zhu Biao knew that Li Jin must have something to ask for.
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Biao decided to go to Annan to have a look. After all, Annan is adjacent to Hepu. If the two places can develop jointly, it will indeed quickly promote the economic development of Annan and Hepu.
There happened to be time now. After Zhu Biao handed over the relevant matters to his subordinates, he immediately went to the port and planned to arrive in Annan by boat.
...
When Zhu Biao disembarked from Haisheng Port in Annan, he almost thought he was back in Shanghu County.
The huge port is full of Chinese style. The busy workers are also wearing Ming Dynasty costumes, which makes people look extremely friendly.
Even the signs at the port were written in Chinese characters, which gave Zhu Biao a feeling of confusion in time and space.
After being in a daze for a long time, he didn't even notice that Zhu Di and Li Jin walked in front of him.
"Brother, look around, what are you looking at?"
"Don't you even recognize Master Li and me?"
Zhu Di's voice finally brought Zhu Biao back to reality. Seeing Li Jin looking at him with a smile on his face, Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly:
"Ahaha, this Annan port looks so familiar. It feels like I'm revisiting my homeland. This makes me feel a little bit different."
"When did you come? I didn't even see it just now."
Zhu Di whispered:
"We came early, but you didn't see us."
Zhu Biao ignored Zhu Di, but looked at Li Jin and said:
"Master Li, congratulations. I didn't expect that in just half a year, you would be promoted to a third-rank official. It's really gratifying!"
"Such an achievement at such a young age is unique in our Ming Dynasty. It is enough to prove the emperor's trust in Mr. Li. I hope Mr. Li will continue to work hard and not let down the emperor's hope."
"That's natural. The emperor has been so kind to me, so I will definitely do my best until my death."
Li Jin looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and began to brag to Zhu Biao until Zhu Di beside him couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted:
"Let's stop blowing each other here and go to the city quickly, otherwise the food we prepared will get cold!"
Li Jin immediately turned around, got out of the way, welcomed Zhu Biao into the carriage, and then walked all the way to the city lord's palace.
Haisheng Port has now been made more prosperous by Li Jin, and there is even a tendency to surpass Hanoi. In fact, in Li Jin's heart, this is the future capital of Annan Province.
Although Hanoi's geographical location is very important, Li Jin's idea is to build Annan Province into a maritime-based province, so he is more inclined to the development of ports.
In addition, Haisheng Port is close to the sea, making it easier for Ming Dynasty to control it.
With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty's navy, once there is a change in Annan, as long as the navy is dispatched, it can arrive at dawn and dusk.
At that time, Haisheng Port will inevitably become the Ming Dynasty's primary attack target, and if the provincial capital is set up here, if the Annan people want to be restored in the future, the Ming army will be able to wipe out these Annan people without any effort at all.
Zhu Biao was sitting in the carriage, but his eyes kept wandering outside the carriage. He felt that the development here was much beyond his expectation.
Hepu County has been developing for such a long time, but compared with Haicheng Port, it still pales in comparison.
This made Zhu Biao feel a little disappointed. He didn't expect that despite his desperate efforts, he still couldn't keep up with Li Jin, and he couldn't even see Li Jin's back.
After passing through a bustling port area, we arrived at a bastion. The bastion was several feet high. There were many arrow towers on it and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere. It looked like it was extremely well guarded.
"Master Li, where is this?"
Zhu Biao was a little surprised when he saw this scene. He did not expect that Li Jin actually built a military fortress.
From Zhu Biao's point of view, this kind of military fortress can at least withstand the siege of thousands of people, and it must be an organized team of thousands of people, otherwise it will be impossible to break through this kind of bastion.
"This is naturally the City Lord's Mansion."
Li Jin explained with a smile:
"After all, this place used to be the land of another country, and there were rebels and bandits everywhere. After all, I was afraid of death. For my own safety, I had to build a small castle to give me a little more sense of security."
"This is just a prototype now, and it will be expanded for three more phases. It is conservatively estimated that it will be able to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of people."
