Li Dezhen didn't know that the merchants in Youzhou would have such a great influence. After understanding the situation in the fishing city, he realized that all the merchants' investments were implemented.

They didn't make a fancy show, and the most surprising thing was that none of these businessmen were to earn immediate benefits.

Just like the Fishing City, more than 90% of the buildings are in idle state. After understanding, I learned that the merchants said that they are optimistic about the future development of the Fishing City.

In fact, after Zheng Derong's introduction, many people come to the fishing village every month during shipping. The population growth is very fast. People who just come here are not rich. They only need to work for a year or a half to provide a fixed house. It is very easy.

Li De was very surprised by the business people's ideas, and at this time he had already developed the routine of installment payments.

"It's developing well." Li De praised.

Zheng Derong's face was flushed. He was very happy that he could be praised by the governor. He believed that he would continue to be glorious when he hugged Li De's thigh.

"Grandmaster, our Zheng family's shipping seems to be well developed, but still lacks shipping ships." Zheng Derong said.

"The volume of sea freight is not all planned. Does it not match the data recorded?" Li De asked.

Zheng Derong knew to explain. The data Li De mentioned was that the freight cooperation between the Zheng family and Youzhou was recorded every time, and the information was very detailed.

According to the data provided by Youzhou, there is no need to say that the Zheng family's shipping capacity is insufficient. Li De wants to hear how Zheng Derong explained it. It is impossible that there is a problem in any link.

"Every time our Zheng family's shipping is registered, there is no smuggling cargo. The situation is that merchants account for more and more cargo. On the premise of ensuring that the freight is met in Youzhou, the cargo space of merchants needs to be delayed. If a few more large ships are added to meet the needs, it will not delay the freight between the north and the south."

Zheng Derong explained carefully that he didn't care about the businessman, but he had to be cautious when facing Li De, for fear that he would ruin the future of the Zheng family if he didn't understand the explanation.

Li De didn't know what Zheng Derong was thinking, and the change in his status and status was in the eyes of others and he went back to ponder about the idiotic business.

It can be said that the good freight from north to south started in Youzhou. In the past, the shipping was carried out closely with the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, which is also the reason why the Zheng family was able to develop.

With the development of Youzhou's business, more merchants need to put goods in Nanyun, which allowed the Zheng family to obtain a large number of waybills, but it was limited to the number of sea ships of the Zheng family, which took a long time to ship.

This has led to a certain delay in transporting goods from many merchants to the south, but transportation through caravans may arrive first in other countries' supply of goods before shipping.

For the Zheng family, it also delayed a lot of orders, resulting in many merchants entrusting a large amount of goods to the convoy for transportation as long as they did not take a large amount of goods.

The large number of orders lost by the Zheng family combined is a shocking fortune, and Zheng Derong's desire for ships is under family pressure.

After Li De learned about it, he learned the reason. Business development is just like the caravans of today. Caravans of Thousand People are very common, and caravans of Ten Thousand People are not uncommon.

The rapid development of caravans on the one hand is the increase in freight volume, which further shows that there is still a lot of room for maritime transportation to develop.

There were already a shortage of ships, and the dock is being built today. Building a large ship cannot be done in a few days.

Just like the ships produced in the dock in Youzhou were able to be launched into a medium-sized ship after half a year, these ships were used for coastal defense construction after production modification and testing, and were not provided with merchant ships.

Only old ships that have no effect on coastal defense will be sold for merchant ships.

"The construction of the dock cannot be completed in a short time, so I can't be impatient." Li De replied calmly.

Li De has no better way to do this, he can't change it immediately.

Zheng Derong knew very well in his heart, but he did not delay his "urgency". After all, Li De, the governor, was busy with his affairs. If he ignored the construction of the dock, the speed would definitely not be faster.

If you can be more concerned, the boat the Zheng family wants to buy may be faster.

Li De knew very well about the ship matters that could not be completed overnight. After all, the main purpose of the dock investment was to establish a maritime defense fleet, so the ships built within three years were all required by the fleet.

It will only take three years to build a merchant ship. If you want to expand the caravan, they can only find some old docks to invest in construction.

The interests of the ocean are very huge, and Li De cannot give all the benefits to the Zheng family. It is not that it cannot be, but that the benefits that the Zheng family can get are really limited.

In the next few days, Li De patrolled the construction of various docks. The new docks are not that simple. Most of the equipment is steam-powered. It takes Youzhou Blacksmith Workshop to work for several years.

Therefore, the dock planning is done together, but the equipment installation applied to the dock is completed in one centralized manner.

During Li De's patrol, Tong Fu rushed to contact Situ En immediately to talk about Li De's affairs. He was relieved when he learned that their chief commander was inspecting the fishing city.

When Tong Fu arrived at Haoyucheng, Li De had already visited the dock project.

The matter of Xixia was not over. Not long after Tong Fu arrived at the Fishing City, the newspapers from Youzhou were spread to the Fishing City, and the entire page was about the matter of the King of Xixia.

The incident of the King of Xixia was known to everyone in the world for a while.

In Xixia City, Han Meng was exposed after less than a month of doing the King of Xixia. At this time, Han Meng directly smashed a lot of things after seeing the newspaper.

"Send people to seize all the newspapers as soon as possible, and buy all the merchants' hands and are not allowed to see them."

His own scandal can threaten his status. Although he does not want to make a fuss with the businessman, he has to do it when the matter is about to come.

All the Xixia soldiers were dispatched, and they were really searching door by door. Everyone who had seen the newspaper was warned.

The caravans had no objection to this, they just needed to get money. Originally, they came to make money, which would save them from bulk goods much more trouble.

If they wanted to make up for the loss, many people still saw things, but they couldn't do anything after they knew it.

They are very precious to their lives.

The court officials in Xixia were speechless, but if they didn't say it, it did not represent the discussions of various forces in the world.

In Chang'an City, Li Yuan felt mixed feelings when he read the newspaper. The two brothers used such despicable means to compete for imperial power. When he saw such a thing, he couldn't help but bring the matter into the affairs of his two sons, and kept sighing in his heart.
