Because of Zhu Biao's plea, Mu Ying did not go south directly to arrest Li Jin. Instead, she was invited by Zhu Biao and went to Shiwanda Mountain for deterrence.
The Ming army's renewed reinforcements made the chieftains even more frightened, and the speed of relocation from the mountains was greatly accelerated.
Zhu Biao was also accelerating the post-war recovery work in Hepu County. Zhu Biao was not worried about whether Zhu Yuanzhang would let Li Jin go, because it was clearly written in his memorial.
The chaos in Hepu County had nothing to do with Li Jin, and Li Jin also made great contributions to Hepu County.
But what Zhu Biao didn't expect was that a month later, he received Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict.
The content of the imperial edict was very simple. Although it said that Li Jin was exempted from his crime and Li Jin would no longer be arrested, it did limit Zhu Biao to return to Yingtian within one month.
The chaos in Hepu County frightened Zhu Yuanzhang so much. He couldn't imagine what would happen if Zhu Biao really got into trouble in Hepu County.
In order to avoid this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to recall Zhu Biao to avoid a similar situation from happening again.
Only in Yingtian Mansion is the safest place.
The prince is the foundation of the country, and nothing should happen to him, otherwise the entire Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil.
After Zhu Biao read the imperial edict, his expression was extremely complicated. To be honest, he didn't want to go back.
The reform here in Hepu County is in full swing. If we go back at this time, wouldn't the reform in Hepu County fall short?
The one who came to convey the order was Wu Feng, a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu family. Seeing Zhu Biao's expression of embarrassment, he took a step forward and said softly to Zhu Biao:
"Your Highness, before you come, the Emperor asked me to bring you a message."
"The Queen misses you. In the past few months, the Queen has lost more than ten kilograms."
Zhu Biao, who was still somewhat resistant to going back, froze in place as if struck by lightning after hearing Wu Feng's words.
Then, Zhu Biao's eyes turned red, and he murmured softly:
"Mother!!"
Thinking of Queen Ma's voice and smile, the thoughts in Zhu Biao's heart surged like a tide at this moment.
"go home."
Zhu Biao decided to respond to Tian. On the one hand, he knew that if he did not go back, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably have someone tie him back.
On the other hand, he also missed his mother and father.
But before going back, he still had some things to do.
Zhu Biao quickly wrote a new memorial, and then asked Wu Feng to send the memorial back first, and he would return to Yingtian with Mu Ying in a month.
Wu Feng nodded in agreement, and then set off on his way home again.
Zhu Biao wrote another secret letter to Li Jin, and then got into intense work again.
...
Annam, Haiphong Port.
"Master Li, my eldest brother is going back."
Zhu Di came from Hanoi, and he also received a secret letter from Zhu Biao, which detailed the reasons for his return.
Moreover, Zhu Biao also told Zhu Di to learn political skills from Li Jin's side, so that he could manage his own fiefdom in the future.
"I have heard about it."
Li Jin didn't care about this. He knew that Zhu Ben was a relative of the emperor and could not stay in a poor place like Hepu County forever.
Now that the unrest in Hepu County has been put down, Zhu Biao can be regarded as having meritorious service. It is normal for him to be promoted based on this meritorious service.
"It's just that in the future, Hepu County will not be governed by your elder brother, which may not be very beneficial to us."
Although Annan is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Annan's infrastructure is too poor. If it wants to develop, it will require a lot of infrastructure.
The only advantage of Annan is that it has a long coastline and can rely on the port as the port of connection with Daming. The port in Hepu County is the closest port to Annan.
Once the seaport of Hepu County is closed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Jin will not feel very comfortable in Annan.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li. My eldest brother said that Hepu County may be merged into the Annan Chief Envoy Department in the future."
Zhu Di explained to Li Jin:
"He said that only adults can successfully complete the reform of Hepu County, so he is relieved to leave Hepu County to adults."
"Did your elder brother really say that?"
Li Jin stood up in disbelief. Although Zhu Biao also wrote him a secret letter, there was not much content in it. He just briefly said that he had to respond.
He didn't expect that Zhu Biao would leave such a big surprise for himself.
Zhu Di nodded affirmatively, "It's absolutely true."
"Very good!!"
Li Jin's face was extremely excited. Annan's development was too dependent on the port in Hepu County.
If Hepu County is also placed under the jurisdiction of the Annan Chief Envoy Division, it will be equivalent to the Ming Dynasty opening a hole for Li Jin.
And Li Jin could rely on this opening to continuously obtain resources from the Ming Dynasty, and then build his own Annan Chief Envoy.
"If this is really the case, then our previous plan will need to be slightly adjusted."
"After all, the territory of Chief Secretary Annan is too small and cannot meet the needs of Ming Dynasty's development. We will continue to expand!!"
When Zhu Di heard this, he was suddenly startled, widened his eyes and asked Li Jin:
"Master Li, do you mean to attack Siam?"
