Li De's visits were carried out secretly, and the management authority of Youzhou City would be handed over to Pei Qingxuan because she would take charge of Youzhou's troops.

The matters responsible for the City Shoufu were handed over to the relevant persons in charge of various departments, and many times the problem could be solved without the need for a large commander.

So Li De set out and left easily.

There were not many people coming to the city, and they were still traveling in the same fleet. There were still painters and surveyors and others accompanying each other, so the field trip and work were not delayed.

"Husband, look, the road section is built quickly and is connected to the main road of Youzhou." Zhang Chuchen said.

The carriage Li De was riding was very bumpy. It was precisely because they were all on dirt roads when they were building roads. There was definitely no flat cement roads. The carriage was not allowed to drive on cement roads along the way, because they had been building roads and could only walk on dirt roads.

Fortunately, the dirt road has been revised, otherwise the carriage will be more bumpy.

It took me a few days to enter the Zhongcheng District. There were only guide stones beside the roads entering the city, and there were still no city walls in the city, so it was clear at a glance when I arrived in the city.

The architectural style is similar to Youzhou. The pavement is full of brand new cement pavement, and the stone piers on both sides are neatly arranged. When passing by, you can see that there are sewage holes on every other section of the road, and it is obvious that it has drainage functions.

Urban construction is all equipped with drainage functions. There are many shops on both sides of the road. The houses are all brand new. It is very visually good, but the commercial atmosphere on the street is less, and many shops are closed without even a plaque.

"Go to the city guard's mansion first."

Chengshoufu is a complex with relatively large buildings in Zhongcheng District. The officials of Chengshoufu work and dormitories are all in the same way, and the front and back are arranged.

Li De brought a few people in to check it out all was disguised.

When I entered the city guard office, I saw not many people. The front desk staff greeted me politely and saw that I was well-trained.

"What business do you guys go to the City Shoufu to handle?"

"Consult, are there a lot of commercial stores on the streets free? Is there no businessmen renting?"

Li De was very curious and was not afraid that no one would rent it, but was afraid that there would be something in it.

"The shops are newly built and there are currently free shops. Now the investment can enjoy a six-month rental discount."

"The situation on the street now will not be too good even if the rental and opening a store business is going to be."

The reception desk was not embarrassed, and immediately explained: "This is the thing. Zhongcheng is currently in the construction stage, and the prosperous locations are all around the construction site. I believe that the store business will improve when the construction period is over."

"I see."

Li De led people out of the city guard mansion to visit privately and not reveal the identity of the Grand Commander. It was also for the sake of safety.

Then he brought people to the so-called industrial area. Many people in Zhongcheng North District were full of people coming and going on the streets, pushing goods, carrying things, and building houses.

There are also small stalls next to it, which are obviously more lively than commercial blocks.

After inquiry, I found out that the construction of Zhongcheng started from the most basic level? Most people have jobs.

Most people go to the workshop area to work during the day, and the rest of them are all invested in construction? After learning about it, I realized that several places in the city started construction at the same time, including road construction, house construction, and workshop construction.

Two days ago, a new construction task came from Youzhou, and there were projects to go to the construction school? Medical College? So many construction projects directly hired all the people in the city.

People in the suburbs of Zhongcheng are working farming and carrying out construction in the suburbs according to the plan. Many merchants did not open shops after coming to Zhongcheng? It is really not beneficial to open shops at this stage.

Except for the inn business, the other businesses are very bad. After all, the inn is all caravans? Not affected by the people in the city.

Li De found the reason because a large number of people invested in construction, and all the three meals during the construction process were included? So the demand for a lot is reduced.

Without demand, what's the use of opening a store? No one spends money to open a store, it's a loss of money? Businessmen are very smart? Seeing this situation, they decide that after the construction period is completed, they will invest and open a store.

"It turns out that the people are making money from the city guarding the palace. Isn't this good? Focus on development and construction." Zhang Chuchen said.

"How is that good? Now there are not even people who consume, but only shows that the population in Zhongcheng is too small? This is the big problem."

Li De took people back and found an inn to live in.

Is the population of Midtown a big problem? I just don’t know how the situation in other cities and counties is.

Have a night off? The next day, I left Zhongcheng and went directly to the suburbs to visit other cities and counties. I saw it as real and heard it as false? Is there really a problem or it still needs to be confirmed by myself?

There are many farmhouses outside Zhongcheng, and you can see that they are all newly built houses and are under construction? The people coming and going are no smaller than the construction scale in the city.

This also shows that the local city guards also did things, leaving the suburbs and heading directly to the nearby city and county.

The construction team was working in the cities and counties that the convoy had been passing by. After inquiries, it was confirmed that the entire Central Plains region was being built everywhere, and almost half of the people were participating in road construction.

After investigation, I found out that the reason why business development is slow is that the conditions for hiring people are compared. Their original treatment for life is so good. As long as you book three meals, there is no need for consumption.

It is also because my life was too poor in the past, and I thought that I would not spend it if I could save money.

Li De was helpless after learning this fact. After all, it was not the same as when Youzhou was developing, and the people here were still a little worried.

There is no way to change their attitude slowly, which is also something that the city guards should pay attention to.

Fortunately, all plans are carried out strictly in accordance with the process, and there is no such thing as favoritism, fraud and corruption, which is a relief.

"Husband, the lives of the people will change, and the remuneration employed by the City Guardian can make them feel at ease."

"We are all participating in the construction now, and when the project is completed, there will be business. According to the current store situation, we can open a large comprehensive store first, which can also make up for the shortcomings of the shops that affect the lives of the people." Zhang Chuchen said.

"You have a good idea, that is, Chengshoufu invests in opening a store and will probably lose money in the early stage."

However, in order to ensure the living needs of the people, it is still very necessary, at least most of the products can be bought in stores.

"If you lose, you will lose. Just think it was an early investment. The Li family will open this store. After you go back, someone will be sent to do this." Li Dedao.

Zhang Chuchen definitely came up with a bad idea herself. She is not good at doing business but she never wants her family to lose money.

However, she couldn't say anything for the sake of the people. Li De's intentions are a good thing for the people.

When Li De returned to Youzhou, he handed over the matter to Li Xiuning. Since he was doing business, it would be left to someone who was good at it.

Li Xiuning did not object after learning about the situation in Zhongcheng, and started to work on this matter the next day.
