Chapter 869: Building a New District

After the winter, the new people in Youzhou began to be arranged, and the new towns could be regarded as satellite cities of Youzhou.

Large tracts of land have been zoned out.

Li De called the new city a new district.

The scale of planning is not bad in Youzhou, and when the people arrived, they began to join the work of clearing the wasteland.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation were provided by caravans sent by Youzhou.

In order to arrange for the people, many tents were temporarily built in the new area.

Tens of thousands of tents began the first step in the construction of the new area.

The city guard of the new district also uses tents, and the urban construction has been handed over to the Youzhou engineering team to carry out, and the engineering team sent in the early stage is full-time.

They didn't have to farm, so just after winter, they had already arrived in the new area and started building residential areas.

The project began, and all the money and property of the Youzhou City Guard Mansion were in place.

Part of the money earned by Ningzhou's victory has been used to develop the new area.

A large amount of supplies began to supply the new area.

The daily work of the newcomers was to clear the land allocated to them and prepare it for cultivation.

The scale of tens of thousands of people, including businessmen and other people, the permanent population of the new district has reached 50,000 or 60,000.

Most of them are migrant workers, brick factories, stone factories, cement factories, sand factories, timber factories, etc., which are needed for urban construction.

With sufficient financial support, the construction speed can be much faster than that of Wagang City, and the initial goal is to build houses that can accommodate 50,000 households.

The commercial street and trade area projects are still in the back row.

Wagang City, after a year of construction, the prototype has been established, and Li Mi became the city lord as he wished.

The iron ore arrears in Youzhou have been paid off, and the iron ore is still being traded because there is not so much money.

Hundreds of thousands of households make Wagang City seem less desolate, there is a Youzhou cooperation agreement, and caravans come and go relatively frequently.

A few workshops in Wagang were able to make some profits.

Youzhou's business plan is to treat the cooperative forces as processing factories, and many key projects will not be shared.

In the name of the Chamber of Commerce, Weili gave the forces that cooperated with Youzhou all the rubber plantation projects.

The idea of building a rubber plantation in the south is very welcome, and the cost of leading the construction is not low, and if there is no one to manage it, the vanguard can manage it.

Li Mi has already invested some of his money to build a rubber plantation, a project that will take a long time to pay off.

Profits are guaranteed, just like Xiao Mi has already started to earn, Li Mi has already calculated, when he invests in the rubber plantation income, he can really support the development of Wagang City.

And when he invested, it was in the name of the Li family, simply put, this part of the income belonged to him.

Although Wagang City did not recruit many people, the loyalty of the Wagang soldiers has improved a lot, and their family is all in Wagang City, how can they not desperately defend in the face of the enemy.

Because of limited financial resources, Li Mi also became stable after becoming the city lord, and for his imperial life, the current Wagang is starting to build the palace of the city lord of Wagang.

The scale of the buildings is designed according to the scale of the royal palace.

Everything else was handed over to his subordinates to implement, and Xu Maogong's workload was a little more.

So far, Xu Maogong has known that he is just a clerk in Wagang City.

Today's Shan Xiongxin is not much better, because the 60,000 elites have no war, and all of them serve as guards to defend the city.

The training program for 30,000 mercenaries is still ongoing. Read it

However, just after the winter, all the people in the guidance group in Youzhou were sent back to Youzhou, and Li Mi had already begun to control his investment.

The return of the guidance group made Li De pay attention to Qiwagang again.

Judging from the current situation in Wagang, it seems that he intends to accumulate strength and does not fall into the trap of desire.

Although the people in Wagang City only have the families of the soldiers, the surrounding cities and counties have been firmly controlled by them.

It is impossible to support Wagang City with the taxes of the city and county, and it is impossible to support it by calculation.

What Li De was thinking about, at this time Li Mi was discussing with Shan Xiongxin and others, as mercenaries, they would have no loot if they didn't go out to fight.

Naturally, you can't get good help from Youzhou.

It is stated from the employment relationship that during the mercenary campaign, if they are threatened by external forces, they can get support from Youzhou.

Therefore, it is safer for mercenaries to dispatch Wagang City.

If Li Mi wants to accumulate strength, he must use everything that is beneficial to him.

The spoils of the conquest are all theirs, and since the victory in Ningzhou, the news from all parties has already known that Youzhou has received a lot of benefits this time.

The hundreds of thousands of horses obtained after attacking the Turks were what they longed for, and many forces were already able to start booking horses from Youzhou.

Li Mi was very envious, and it stimulated him even more, holding what the elite thought Youzhou could do, he could do it like a Wagang soldier.

At this time, Shan Xiongxin was discussing which one to choose next.

In Li Mi's opinion, Luoyang is something he really wants to occupy, but after Li Yuan uses means, all the forces in Luoyang have let Li Yuan master Luoyang City, and at the same time attract several forces.

If he sent troops over, it would be tantamount to going to war with several forces.

In the past, they could take unprepared enemies by surprise, but now they have to think seriously about choosing an opponent.

Because most of the enemies are far away from them.

Long-distance campaigns are logistically demanding.

If all the 60,000 elites are dispatched, he is not at ease, even if there is support from Youzhou, but the distance and time are hard.

"Wei Guogong, now the only ones who can have an enemy with us are the Li family in Luoyang and Li De in Youzhou, and the other forces are no longer enough."

Shan Xiongxin sounds arrogant when he says this, but for now, these are really facts.

Li Mi is also worried, if he wants to do something, do he have to let Xu Maogong come over and come up with ideas.

He finally marginalized Xu Maogong, and if he used it well, I am afraid it will have an impact on his power.

Several forces in the Sui State have developed, and most of the anti-kings are still maintaining the status quo because they don't know how to operate.

Some of Luoyang's forces have been encircled by Li Yuan, and their forces have become part of Li Yuan's various state capitals.

Although not deeply united, their interests are inextricably linked.

Unless Li Yuan's forces are disintegrated, it will be difficult to separate them.

As for the forces that choose to cooperate with Youzhou, their interests in Luoyang are not affected.

Li De didn't care about this at all, and he used business cooperation to promote the interests of both parties' business activities.

As for their position, as long as they are not openly anti-Youzhou, no one cares about them.

Even if you cooperate with Li Yuan, it doesn't matter.

It's not that Li De is letting it go, but he has self-confidence, after all, the purpose of establishing business cooperation is to focus on economic construction.

It's not like Li Yuan who insists on pulling people in, but he has to make his position clear.
