Chapter 1002 Continue to expand

"Your Majesty, maybe we can send envoys to discuss peace. Withdrawing from the Central Plains region will surely result in Youzhou not advancing westward."

The ministers were all anxious. They knew very well that even if the Tang State sent all the troops and horses, they might not be able to stop the Youzhou comprehensive attack. Why not solve the problem while it was still under control?

Taking a step back, the sky is wide open. What the Tang Kingdom needs is stable development, and accumulating strength is what they want.

Besides, they don’t think Youzhou has so much energy to use troops to fight them. As long as they can give up their sphere of influence, they can use this to hold Youzhou.

Just like at the beginning, Youzhou did not have to send troops to the Central Plains region, it was obvious that they could not have so much energy and resources to develop.

If it were really the Central Plains, it might delay the development of Youzhou's power.

The ministers' ideas are sometimes so naive, but what they are saying is the fact that the Central Plains region is too large and must support it if it wants to develop, and it is not that simple to control the world.

Take the management of the Yellow River as an example, it requires money investment. If you encounter floods, the losses will be huge.

If Li De heard what these people were discussing, he would think that these people were all amazing characters and they even knew to use natural disasters as weapons. Unfortunately, this super concept is beyond their control.

Li Yuan all felt it made sense. When three people became tigers, they would become true when they said too much. I have to say that he really felt it was feasible for protecting Tang State.

But they were also afraid that if Zhongyuan became the Youzhou force, they might really be unable to fight.

In the end, Li Yuan sent someone to issue orders to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to form a joint force to fight against the vanguard.

The Central Plains War has ended. What we need to do now is to protect ourselves. What is more important is to send envoys to discuss, and Li Yuanji must be exchanged for it.

In this way, the hostage Li Yuanji played a role. At least the Tang Dynasty was not taking action against the Central Plains, which means that Youzhou took a big advantage in this battle in the Central Plains.

Pei Qingxuan's vanguard soldiers were not idle. After having prisoners of war, they were given labor and allowed to participate in road construction.

A large number of surveyors sent by Youzhou played their role and included the occupied land in the planning.

A large amount of land was planned as arable land, and millions of people were busy, occupying the main roads while building them.

Many people may not know what they are doing when they meet these people, but in the eyes of construction craftsmen, they can see that these people are assisting in building new cities.

They leveled the land, built roads, planned farmland, and looked for water sources to investigate the living conditions of the personnel.

The most important thing is that after the occupation, the government orders of Youzhou were promoted in places with people, and they had already received support from the people. There is no better condition in the world than the conditions given by Youzhou.

Especially it is of great benefit to the farmers, and I believe that we can live a prosperous life in three years.

A large number of idle labor force is symptomatic, and it can be said that this kind of expansion is made by using money.

Li De of Youzhou faced a large list of materials and money accounts every day since the Central Plains War.

If you say that when building Youzhou City, you spend money like flowing water, then looking at the various accounts in front of you can really say that spend money like the ocean.

I consume money in the money every day, and the power has expanded, and I have also made more things. Let’s look at the information reflected from the Central Plains region. It will be a bit of a loss in a short period of time.

After demographic statistics, the number of local people is less than 300,000, and their living standards are very low, especially when there is no jurisdiction of the court, if the people want to protect their food, they have to hand over more food to local cities and counties.

The vanguard soldiers will handle these things well, and it is one thing to take the initiative to surrender. It is best when Youzhou sends troops to Zhongyuan to start the vanguard soldiers taking the initiative in everything.

Hundreds of thousands of people will have a new life from now on, and local farming information has been passed back. According to survey, their annual harvest is less than 30% of that of Youzhou farming.

It’s not because they are not careful in taking care of them, but I can only say that the cultivation technology is a little behind Youzhou, which has fertilizer technology.

It is too late to top dressing now, so I can only wait next year. However, according to their harvest, Li De decided that the first year's grain will be purchased by merchants at market prices.

After using fertilizer the next year, we will start to acquire part of the internal price of the City Shoufu, which will also give the people a buffer time.

With the added area of ​​governance, more people have to be transferred for this. It is expected that the money will be spent in the future than now. The entire Central Plains region will occupy all of them, but it will directly expand the area of ​​Youzhou, including Liaobei.

At that time, development and construction will not be a matter of building a few cities.

Li De looked at the thick accounts stacked in front of him and had to think of some solutions for these consumption. All those who are developing and investing in the industry must be able to make more money.

Now that national construction has been carried out, these newcomers can join in, making money to improve their lives is their most urgent need.

Since he invested money in construction, Li De did not intend to repent. One road is to build two roads, and it was nothing more than spending more money.

In his opinion, it is not a problem to solve things that can be solved with money. The third prince of Tang State has become a prisoner and can ask for more money from his father-in-law.

If the current trend is based on the current trend, the Tang Kingdom will sooner or later give it to the Li brothers, but that is temporary. In the end, he will let his father-in-law see that the person he loves the most is his daughter.

The Tang Dynasty's mission was still on the way, but Li De was already thinking about it. I have to say that the two sides really have a tacit understanding on certain things.

Fortunately, the things in front of you still need to be solved. No matter what you do, you cannot solve the problem without any money. No money is the problem.

With the increase of sphere of influence, population, and more territory, we cannot follow the path of commercial development in the future. After all, not all places meet the conditions for commercial development.

We can only use business to drive development but cannot rely on business as the foundation. The foundation is still real money.

So Li De issued a new task. The mine discovered by the exploration team was to be mined, and all the soldiers captured Tang Kingdom went to mine and work.

Not only that, I also recruited labor service locally, and had better treatment, including food and accommodation, and all three meals were full of meat and gave me a relatively high salary.

High-intensity physical labor work for six hours a day, up to two hours of overtime, work on the shift system one day off, and the daily wage is ten cents.

When Pei Qingxuan was fighting, the City Guardian sent people to implement this matter. It was discovered that the diffusion exploration team had a great effect, and they were all encouraged by bonuses.

Most of the people employed from Youzhou have returned to Youzhou, while some people have directly joined new jobs. They are all working, so why not work since they have high-paying jobs?
