Chapter 776 Life in Youzhou
It just happened to take this opportunity to vigorously develop Ningzhou, and he felt it was time to do something.
"The popularization of schools has been effective. How can we lose libraries if we want to further develop education?"
"Collection of books in the world and rubbing them for people to read."
When Li De thought of this, he immediately asked someone to prepare.
The library does not need to be placed in Youzhou City. There are many real estate options in the construction project, so I can directly choose a large pavilion.
Li De directly chose a three-story pavilion closest to the residential area, and the building area was very large and used as a library.
The workshop soon made a plaque, Youzhou Library, three floors, and 20 bookshelfs were created on each floor. Tables, chairs and benches could be supplied to 60 people for use together. The three floors combined can accommodate 150 people.
Youzhou Library provides free reading and sales.
It is an upgrade of the bookstore. It is set up in the most densely populated area for the convenience of scholars and for scholars from poor families.
He knew that after building this library, many poor families would definitely come. Then prepare low-rent buildings, which might be able to drive the development of this cultural area in the future.
This matter will be carried out together with this year's autumn harvest. Autumn harvest is a major event, and Youzhou is counting on newly harvested grain.
With the efforts of the people, the land area in Youzhou has expanded again, and the harvest will be higher than in previous years after using organic fertilizers.
The granaries in Youzhou City have been fully prepared.
Although the output is too high, after several years of development, the population of Youzhou has also increased, and the subsequent increase is slow to reserve a large amount of food.
The main purpose of the caravan is to collect grain.
Field planting in Ningzhou is the main project, and good harvests are increasing every year because in addition to breeding, they are engaged in planting.
The soldiers in Ningzhou also spent most of their time in reclaiming land. It can be said that Ningzhou is the main grain supply base in the northern Liaoning region.
In the past, caravans transported food was actually a hard demand.
When Youzhou was busy with autumn harvest, the various prefectures and prefectures of the Sui Dynasty were also busy.
Li Shimin from Penglai didn't want to listen to his father's opinions and stopped trading with Youzhou. Li De seemed to be easy to talk to, but in fact it wouldn't be so easy to solve this problem.
Li Shimin's reason for opposition is very simple. The organic fertilizer used next spring needs to be purchased from Youzhou. If the family does not sell the land, the harvest will be reduced a lot.
Their soldiers are all counting on these harvests.
Especially in the coming year, we will carry out major actions, not only will we continue to grow food, but we will also buy a large amount of food from Youzhou before that.
Originally, Youzhou was unwilling to sell food, so now that it offended people, the next thing would be difficult to deal with.
Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was a compromise with the aristocratic family, but this decision was really a pitfall.
Li Yuan also knew that, but he could not refuse the conditions offered by the aristocratic family. There were money, food and other materials.
Li Shimin's eyes can't stand the temptation of power in the end.
As a last resort, Li Shimin was unwilling to be an enemy of Li De, but no matter how he thought about it, he would definitely be an enemy in the future.
During the autumn harvest season, there are some people who are happy and sad, so the people of Youzhou do not have much trouble. The grain they can now be distributed can be sold on the market.
Three years have passed and they will get higher returns.
Merchants also formally intervened in the competition for grain collection, and no grain merchants can monopolize the current output.
The Pioneer's land harvest is enough for them to reserve, so they are not afraid of merchants' intervention. As long as they do not violate the price gouging, no one will take care of the malicious hoarding laws.
After the people took all the food home, they felt very at ease. After negotiation, the grain merchants offered similar prices to purchase.
So the merchants who collected grain were divided into industries. Because there was too much food, the job of collecting grain was stopped by many horse team members, which was equivalent to earning horse fees from the grain merchants.
Grain merchants can just sit at home and wait for someone to come to the door, saving a lot of trouble. The first person to do this business is not someone else, but Youzhou’s express logistics.
Later, all the merchants' horse teams followed suit, and later some small horse teams negotiated several grain merchants to collect grain for them.
After the autumn harvest, the people have accumulated some money in their hands, buying thick clothes, coal, and New Year's goods and meat in winter.
The market will usher in some peaks after the beginning of winter, especially the demand for pork is increasing every year.
The breeding industry in Youzhou is expanding every year. In winter, fish sales are very good, especially the Xianyu produced in the salted fish workshop.
Fine salt is no longer a rare thing in Youzhou, and the price is still expensive, but the people in Youzhou can afford it.
There is enough supply of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in Youzhou.
There are basically no one to use such things as vinegar cloth in Youzhou. They are all fresh rice vinegar. You need to make some directly. Soy sauce made from soybeans is always the best.
Many people only use soy sauce to make food, and they save salt, only the seasonings in restaurants are the same.
Many new people coming to Youzhou are envious of the lifestyle of the people in Youzhou. They always sigh after they receive their first month's wages that they can live a happy life.
In a subtle way, life with a material foundation has made Youzhou's lifestyle successful.
It is not entirely true that foreign people come through business people's publicity. The most effective way is to promote it through relatives.
As long as you tell your relatives about his good life in Youzhou, I believe no one will be moved.
Economy, culture, and system. As long as you don’t be a bad person or a bad person in Youzhou, you can live a good life by working hard. If you seize the opportunity, you may struggle for decades less.
The merchants did not trade with various prefectures in the Sui State, but the losses were not large, because their main markets were always mainly to meet the sixteen prefectures of Youji.
Going to various states and prefectures to trade is just to make more money, because the sales price will be higher. Compared with other states and prefectures, the business is mainly to satisfy those with spare money.
Where is the most comprehensive consumption like Youzhou? Products like toilet paper are the main consumption products of the people in Youzhou, and there are not many people who can afford it to other prefectures.
Therefore, the collective boycott of caravans by people from aristocratic families has little impact on merchants. On the contrary, many things that nobles need to be purchased by caravans.
Now that I am not in business, I can only buy the goods from Youzhou by myself. Unfortunately, the aristocratic families have really invested a lot of money together.
Caravans organized by themselves cannot go to Youzhou to purchase goods privately. Although it has aroused dissatisfaction among many people, it will give face to the aristocratic family during this period.
