The fundamental reason for the defeat in the end was that there was no support, and the lonely tree was unable to support it. The enemy besieged the city several times. Even if it was not opened, they could not listen to it in the end.

Even though they have strong patience, the people in the city all have to live a life of food, and it is not uncommon for soldiers to cause riots when they face the city walls.

Emperor Yang of Sui had no time to take care of those people. Now he guaranteed that Chang'an and Luoyang would not be lost. He would be satisfied if the barbarians in the north did not come to make trouble.

Li De presided over some order payments today. The situation outside looked like Red Peony spies were very clear about the investigation.

For Youzhou, the arrival of troubled times has led to rapid development of their economy. They were short of money in the first two months, but now the order payment is in place and now they can feel at ease.

Li Shimin was very busy. There was a lot of idle land in Liaobei. It had already planned since the influx of population. Now the first batch of people who were preparing to reclaim land have adapted to life in the military city.

The military city suddenly increased by 100,000, of which 50,000 had to be moved to Ningzhou, and the treatment given to the north of Liaobei is better.

The construction of the prefectures in Ningzhou is still a little worse than that in Youzhou, but the construction has not been stopped yet.

The plan of the city guard's mansion was to gradually migrate the population of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji to the north, with a large amount of land there, rich mountains and forests and resources behind them, and urban construction was developed by others.

In order to handle matters better, Li Shimin will personally lead the city guard officials to come over together, and settle the people who have passed by will also have the responsibility of supervision.

Today, Li De personally sent them away from Youzhou City. He is expected to wait until the spring farming in the next year and the autumn harvest will not come back.

Li De continued to hope for Li Shimin.

The people left in a mighty manner, and the affairs of Youzhou City Lord's Mansion have now returned to his hands.

"Li Yu, take out the money he recorded today and invested it in the workshop to start research and development and production."

Li Rong was still immersed in the mood of farewell, and when he heard that he had to spend money again, Ma Shan came to his senses.

"Brother, can you calm down or not?"

Li De didn't need any explanation for Li Yu, so he built several new workshops in several prefectures closest to Youzhou.

Especially the textile mills have expanded again. The main materials they process now are wool, silk and hemp, as well as some cotton stockpiled by merchants. They have already made profits this year and will have more cotton reserves next year.

Many big merchants signed cotton supply agreements, and the city lord's mansion gave them money, and they worked hard to grow cotton for the sake of their interests.

All the landlords plant them secretly. After all, they need to pay grain every year. If they do not plant grain, they need to replenish the grain by themselves.

But compared with the benefits of food, the big merchants are willing to take risks.

Expand the development of workshops, make yarn and cloth, and make ready-made clothes, the benefits will be more profitable, but now all the cloths produced in workshops in Youzhou are distributed to various prefectures by merchants.

It can be said that the textile factory is the most profitable in Youzhou civil product workshops.

"Grandmaster, come to Hu'er to send someone to discuss cooperation."

"Call someone in."

Li De now sits in the city and guards every day to handle official duties, and he now experiences Li Shimin's daily workload.

He decided on all the work inside and outside the city. After a few days of management experience, Li De delegated some small power to the corresponding person in charge.

The final result will be reviewed by him, even so, many names are required to sign every day.

"The Grand Governor, Xu Yuanlang, the guardian of Penglai City, came to discuss the ship business by the order of the Penglai General Come to Hu'er." The visitor said straight to the point.

Li De first took a lot of this person named Xu Yuanlang. From his age and temperament, he could tell at a glance that he was somewhat similar to Lai Huer's temperament.

I have long heard that Lai Hu'er is good at water battles, and everyone under his command is like this. It's a big deal to talk about the ship's business.

"Storytelling, what do you need?" Li De asked.

"That's right. Penglai now needs big ships. If there is a ready-made one, General Lai Hu'er means that you can buy ten big ships first. If Youzhou can build ships, then book ten big ships. If the medium-sized clutch is available, we also want to buy them."

Li De calculated that twenty big ships were really big. He thought that there were so many ships he harvested last time, but if they were sold at their Youzhou port, there would be no ships.

But there is no reason to refuse such a big business. After careful consideration, I found that there are several ships that can be sold.

"Okay, our Youzhou Shipyard will come to this order. Now you can sell five large ships at the Youzhou port, and the hulls are a bit old and the price is easy to say."

Li De’s goal is to make those new ships. The prices of new ships and old ships are not that different, but the new ships earn more.

"The rules of Youzhou require payment first. The ship production must be paid first. The deposit will be paid first. Ten new ships will take three years to deliver. Do you think this is good?"

"No problem, if it was an old ship, we would rather buy it." Seo Yuen Long said.

Li De knew that Penglai was not really that rich.

With orders, the dock can provide more jobs and can also drive the development of the dock. Why not do it?

"Haha, so there are some ships in Youzhou Water Port that are being sold recently. Why not go and see them with your own eyes and discuss the prices."

Then Li De and his men rushed to Youzhou Water Port, which was not close to each other.

Youzhou Water Port was built after the Pioneer Army was established by the sailors. The port is spacious and now it is docked with ships of all sizes.

Xu Yuanlang knew very well that these ships were given to Youzhou for free, but they had to deal with Yang Xuangan and the pirates at that time.

Asking the Pioneer to help these is a reward.

Now they have to spend money to buy it back, and they will lose money no matter how they calculate it. However, it is not enough for them to have no ships, because it is really not enough for the area where they are stationed without ship protection.

There were sailors in the vanguard, but some people came to visit and some people had already withdrawn. When they came to the port, Li De had an understanding of the situation of the sailors.

Now all the old ships docked here are all partitioned.

"The ships are all here, you can choose whatever you want and ask people to record them. You can drive away at any time as long as the money comes to the ship."

Xu Yuanlang said to you that you are really generous, even if he knows that the other party has taken a big advantage, he has no choice.

In fact, it was quite angry to come to Hu'er. If Emperor Yang of Sui had not personally led the army to Penglai at that time, there might have been no such destructive things.

If there is no if, they must give this money.

Xu Yuanlang is very familiar with several large ships. Some of them were originally from Penglai, but now they are not good at it.

I saw that most of the old ships were renovated after the battle, so I calculated that they didn’t lose much.
Chapter completed!
