Chapter 493: Guanlong Force
After hearing Li De's explanation, Wei Li learned some benefits, but still couldn't change the fact that others came to grab business.
"Call the merchants, since Jiangling has built workshops, the progress of workshops we have carried out in various prefectures must also be improved." Li Dedao.
"I am still worried that our profits will be affected," Weili said.
"Don't worry, cement is also divided into labels. When it comes to producing higher cement, it can be used for construction needs of different strengths. There is no need to consider the upgrading of technology now." Li De explained.
"Technology upgrade?" Wei Li was stunned and knew another new word.
His understanding is that things are better than today's cement, and he feels relieved when he knows that he has some skills to do things.
After such a long period of operation, many merchants have had contact with each other. Some of them are purchasing cement and conducting cattle and horse transactions. Now there are many more grain merchants.
As soon as the news of the franchise and cooperation of cement workshops came out, many merchants took action. All they had to do was to pay some money, and then they would pay the dividend every year, or buy cement at a low price according to the contract and sell it.
Youzhou Commercial Bank gave them a choice, and the merchants were considering it. They heard about Jiangling Cement Workshop, but they were not optimistic about it, because the Zhang family participated and they could not get the benefits, so why should they come over and do it?
The merchants are smart.
After the news of Youzhou City spread, not long after, many businessmen came, all of whom came for the cement business, but it was a little different from what Li De expected.
Many businessmen choose to join an agent to cooperate, so it is impossible to accumulate money quickly. Instead, they have to continue to expand workshops and increase production capacity.
The next thing is to earn as much as you can produce every day, which can be considered a huge profit.
"Grandmaster, now it's time to expand the workshop, and it takes a lot of manpower. Ding Qilin and Li Jing brought back those people to the table," Wei Li said.
"It's a coincidence that things are going to happen. How is the progress of the new workshop?" Li De asked.
"It's okay. The business bank's expenditure is a bit big now. It will be fine after the workshop starts construction." Wei Li said.
"Yeah, it's so hard for many things." Li Dedao.
Youzhou City is united in its efforts, and farming is being carried out simultaneously with the expansion of cement workshops. The recruited talents are now internships in various positions, which relieves a lot of pressure for the operation of the Pioneer Army.
Popularization of text education is also continuing, but this cannot change the fact that Youzhou City is still a military city. Everything is in trouble. With the support of merchants, it cannot form a scale in a short period of time.
There are only a handful of large merchants. The most critical reason is the location of Youzhou City. Many merchants are waiting and watching when they hear the development trend of Youzhou.
Just wait and see, after all, no matter how big the property is, it is not enough.
Most people are unwilling to put their industries in Youzhou, and they really have no confidence. Even if the current strong soldiers and horses in Youzhou are still unable to change their deep-rooted impression.
You cannot be anxious about this kind of thing. You must have enough strength to ensure the safety of Youzhou City, so the vanguard soldiers have never stopped recruiting soldiers.
Those who meet the requirements after screening and assessment can join. The conditions for recruiting soldiers after recruiting talents have gradually increased a lot.
Recruiting troops has never been relaxed.
During the farming period, soldiers patrol and protection were photographed around Youzhou City. In conjunction with the latest deployment, the people in the city did not know that when they worked every day, the vanguard soldiers were protecting them.
A large number of scouts patrolling the enemy's dangerous places because they were afraid that foreigners would come to make trouble.
Although there is news about the usual tribes, Li De did not think that this way he could know all the enemy's movements, including the Turks, the Northern Barbarians, Tiel, Khitan tribes, etc., had to be guarded.
Youzhou City is developing in full swing, and it seems to be lively for spring updates. The shops in the city are thriving, and most of the customers are merchants coming and going, and the economy has improved slightly.
The largest industry in the city is cattle, sheep and horses. The small tribe that is usually in Youzhou City has developed very quickly and has merged some smaller tribes through trade.
From less than a thousand people in a winter to a tribe with a population of thousands, the tribes gradually grew and the business activities became increasingly larger.
With a stable supply of cattle, sheep and horses, the carriage and horse market in Youzhou City is very prosperous, and big merchants in Chang'an and Luoyang are frequently coming and going.
In addition, after a year of operation in the Northwest Army, Cheng Zhijie, You Junda and others also developed very quickly in their operations.
I have never stopped writing letters recently.
The purpose of Li De's contact with Cheng Zhijie is very simple. The idea of 200,000 cavalrymen is that the war horses are missing at least 50,000 or 60,000, and it is impossible to buy them by the tribal trade here alone.
The workshops on Cheng Zhijie have developed very well. There are not many war horses, but it is still possible to transport two or three thousand war horses. If there are more, we will give up the cattle and horse market in the northwest.
After Li Dededao responded in detail, he had a plan in his mind that there were not so many war horses. At present, the plan for the vanguard to use 200,000 cavalry should be temporarily slowed down.
Now most of the 150,000 soldiers are cavalry now, and even twice as powerful as fighting against their enemy vanguards.
The prosperous scene of Youzhou City is far away in Luoyang, and Emperor Yang of Sui cannot see it. He is currently worried that the forces in Guanlong are very dissatisfied with the result after the war with Gogurye, and are putting pressure on Emperor Yang of Sui.
After losing 300,000 troops, the economic losses are not just about the children of each family gathered, which is a considerable debt.
Emperor Yang of Sui was never very peaceful. Perhaps he was an emperor and enjoyed the extravagant life that the emperor should have, but the rights and benefits that should be given to the nobles must not be missed.
Otherwise, he would not be able to be stable in his throne.
This was the relationship since the Northern Wei Dynasty. From the Shangzhu Kingdom to the various nobles, the alternation of the thrones was equivalent to the fact that the shareholders had not been changed, while the chairman changed back and forth.
Emperor Yang of Sui fought against Goguli to a large extent, targeting the Guanlong nobles, and wanted to break the Guanlong forces in this way and consolidate the imperial power forever.
But the first battle ended in failure, and Gogurye was just a recurring villain at that time, who occupied the Liaohe River and wanted to gain more benefits.
In order to be able to confront the Sui Kingdom, they did not hesitate to collude with tribes such as the Turks. In this case, foreign wars were not very good at winning. They had certain strategic significance, but they failed in the end.
Now that the Guanlong nobles have found a debt, the emperor and the court need to appease him.
Emperor Yang of Sui got angry in the imperial study room again. The palace maids were scared and were trembling all over from far away, fearing that they would be implicated.
