Li De's return in Youzhou City did not have any impact on the people.

The style of making big fuss is not the style of a vanguard. In front of the governor's door, there were no idle people, except for the Hu Ben guards to protect him. Li De and everyone came directly to the combat office.

When the governor returned, the lieutenants were attacked by the horse bandits. The people who were supposed to go back to rest did not feel like this now. They knew that the vanguard soldiers were not managed, which means that the other party was not simple.

"Pei Xiaowei, let's talk about the situation of the horse bandits outside the city first. What happened to Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou?" Li De asked directly.

Seeing that Li De was very unhappy, Pei Qingxuan told the truth.

"Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou were greedy for merit and rashly when they attacked the Turkic tribe, and were pursued by the Turkic cavalry. Later, they received help from Li Shimin. Unexpectedly, after being saved, they did not work together to resist the Turkic tribes, but fled back alone with their confidants."

"After leaving more than 2,000 subordinates, he surrendered to Li Shimin. The two of them were afraid that they would conflict with the Li family, so they took people away from Youzhou City and wanted to secretly recruit two thousand subordinates. The result was not satisfactory. They were unwilling to accept that, so they assembled some people to rob the merchants. The vanguard soldiers sent people to guard them, and the whip was beyond the reach."

“That’s how it is.”

Pei Qingxuan explained the matter and Li De listened seriously.

"The vanguard soldiers' duty is to defend the territory and safeguard the people. Since they have become horse bandits, they cannot ignore it. Moreover, they also took the initiative to launch an attack. What should all the captains and those who offend our vanguard soldiers?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The commanders were excited and each wanted to take people to find the bandits to eliminate them immediately.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Li De ordered and became a general in a row. Anyone who likes to suppress bandits can do it, all depends on his ability.

"How has Youzhou City developed in the past few months?" Li De asked.

"The kiln workshop has begun to produce, and white ash and new cement have been stockpiled a lot. Merchants from all over the world are very interested in this. At present, Li Xiuning is responsible for negotiating with the merchants and has made great progress. Jiangling wealthy merchants have ordered a large amount of cement and are preparing for caravan transportation."

Pei Qingxuan explained that in fact, there was no big change in Youzhou City. To be honest, there was a lot of change in the change, and the number of people in the city is increasing every day.

The city gradually regained some vitality.

Li De and the commanders learned about the current situation in Youzhou City before leaving.

"Qingxuan, I really miss you so much if I haven't seen you for a few months. Come to my husband."

Li De was not honest when he saw everyone leaving. Pei Qingxuan was so thin-skinned that she could not respond. Just when she was worried about whether to agree, a third person in the office suddenly hummed.

"Chuchen, you are here. I haven't seen you for so long, and you look much more beautiful." Li De really didn't want the scene to be awkward, so he just said it casually.

As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

"Do you think I wasn't pretty before?"

Li De knew this would happen.

“Beautiful before and now.”

"This is almost the same. Don't mess around in broad daylight. My husband and I will go to Xiuning with me. She has business matters to tell you."

"Oh, OK!"

He wished he had an excuse to change the topic.

"Qingxuan, I'll go and do it first."

The two of them walked together, and suddenly Zhang Chuchen leaned towards Li De and whispered in his ear: "I miss you, do you miss me?"

Li De was amused. If he answered well, he would give him points, and if he answered poorly, he would give him questions.

Without hesitation, prove it immediately with actions.

Zhang Chuchen wanted to exclaim, but she couldn't do it at all. She immediately gave up resisting and immediately turned into a big blush.

"It's not good to see it in broad daylight." Zhang Chuchen muttered softly.

"Who dares to disturb my governor and his wife..."

"Stop talking, I'm so embarrassed, Xiuning is still waiting."

Even Zhang Chuchen is a hero among women and is used to the world, but he really doesn't know how good it is to change himself.

Li De looked at Zhang Chuchen who was running away. He was all so shy.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Li Xiuning looking at the accounts and didn’t have time to pay attention to him. I knew how busy their affairs were during this period.

"It's fine if Anran comes back, I'm worried about you." Li Xiuning said.

The couple had something to say, and there was no need to go around. Although Li Xiuning was still looking at the account book, she could feel the thoughts from the bottom of her heart from her tone and mentality.

"You should also be careful, have you stayed up late again and the oil lamp has not yet been turned off."

Li De is a person who is good at observing details. Although Li Xiuning usually loves talents, she feels like a rich woman. She should spend money and enjoy it, but in fact she is not.

Although she likes to make money, she is really frugal. Take the shampoo business as an example. Li Xiuning left all the wealth she earned before marriage to the Li family.

If someone else wanted to leave more property and dowry, Li Xiuning was not such a person. After she entered the Li family, she was thrifty and business bigger and bigger, and she also made great efforts.

Now the logistics accounts of the Pioneer Army were originally managed by Pei Qingxuan. Now that the business matters are divided, the matter falls on Li Xiuning's head, and the burden is very heavy.

Li Xiuning is obviously a workaholic, and he really doesn't care about anything when he is busy.

"I'll tell you good news. Ma Sanbao will soon be brought to Youzhou with his caravan. Cement will be transported to Jiangling through the caravan. Do you know how much our first order is worth?"

Li De saw joy on Li Xiuning's face. She was so happy that she could make money like this. It must be a big order. Judging from the value of cement, it is really hard to guess how much goods the other party has taken.

"Hundreds of thousands of coins?" Li De asked tried.

Li Xiuning shook his head and stretched out his two fingers and said, "Two hundred thousand coins, the nobles in Jiangling built a mansion, and our profits are very considerable."

"Jangling, who bought cement?" Li De asked curiously. Does the 200,000 chunks of cement use so much cement to build a mansion? Suddenly, he asked again: "Have they ever said they wanted to buy bricks?"

"We recommended bricks, but the other party refused, saying that they had a blue brick kiln in their own home." Li Xiuning replied, and immediately continued: "The general Xiao family, I heard that they are famous local families."

"Xiao family, I understand. By the way, did you come to me just to tell me this good news?" Li De said.

"Yes, there is another thing. The farmers sent by my father have already arranged it. The problem I face is that there are too many fields, insufficient farmers, and lack of oxen. Let's look for the current tenant farmers to calculate. The food needs of the vanguard soldiers will not be able to be completed next year. If there is no war, the soldiers can participate in the work, but the premise is that there is no war."

Li Xiuning is now equivalent to the chief clerk of the Pioneer Army. She needs all the finances to count, settle, spend, and manage all aspects. The land is the top priority, and many times she cannot make a decision.
