The construction of Youzhou in recent years has left a deep impression on people, and when you set foot on the main roads in Youzhou's sphere of influence, all of them are smooth roads.

Even many of the trails have been rebuilt, and the roads mixed with sand and gravel do not become muddy when it rains.

There are trees lining the road, and in some areas you can even see flower beds, and the most convenient thing is that there are signs every other way.

As long as you know how to read, you can distinguish how to choose the direction of progress.

The road in Youzhou has still become the façade of the world's roads, and it is really well repaired, which has to be admired.

Foreign merchants will feel that there are novelties everywhere in Youzhou, and the foreign businessman Zhu Dong went to Youzhou to buy goods, and the carriage was very flat on the road, but after they met the caravan in Youzhou, they found that the same carriage was much behind in speed.

Look at it again, it's not the horse's foot strength problem, and after the coachman takes a closer look, he finds that there is a layer of black on the wooden wheels of the carriage in Youzhou.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that with this black thing, it was able to make the carriage run faster.

In fact, the rubber tires at this time are still solid, which can reduce the friction between the wheels and the ground.

When the foreign carriage saw the difference, they inquired.

"Brother, why is your carriage so fast?"

"Haha, in fact, there is nothing special that the wheels are equipped with rubber tires that are more suitable for the ground, and you can install this to the Youzhou Wood Workshop, and it is not very expensive."

The businessmen of Youzhou in the past introduced these things and felt that they had more face, so they talked a few more words.

More drivers are passing in a hurry, and they can't afford to delay making money, and they may make more money if they save time and make an extra trip.

The merchants of Youzhou are so fast-paced.

Foreign businessmen have to be envious, who makes people talk is very confident, and they don't take money as money at all.

The driver has already made up his mind, and when the owner buys the goods, he must ask about the price of installing rubber tires.

It can make the carriage run faster, and it can take less time to travel every day.

During the period when Youzhou City guarded the mansion and was boycotted by the family, the merchants' workshops were always in normal production.

Now that there are no constraints, there are more and more foreign caravans to buy goods in Youzhou.

The backlog of goods has raised some prices, and they will go with it, and these are all for the people to pay.

The market is like this, and other state capitals do not have proper price control on prices like Youzhou, because they are afraid that someone will raise prices during the special period.

As for the situation in other state capitals, it is really not the business of the merchants.

Li De's work seems to have become easier, inspecting the commercial development of Youzhou, taking time to wander around the commercial street and checking the market situation in a real way.

Today, he was in high spirits, so he took some staff from the city guard to the commercial street to investigate.

The area of the planned commercial street outside the city is very large, and there are many shops in ordinary times, and the street is very lively with men, women and children.

Usually the men in the family go out to work, and most of the people who can walk the streets are the women who are in charge of the family's life.

With the exception of infant babies, all the older ones were required to go to school, so the men, women, and children on the street could tell that most of them were responsible for the family's shopping.

They all carry bamboo baskets and carry baskets, and the commercial area is divided into many areas, and the goods sold are also different.

Stores like luxury goods, gold stores, and gem shops are all gathered together, and they are usually relatively deserted, but there is a high chance that they will actually want to buy something.

Most of them are rich wives, and they seem to be deserted, but the things they sell are like this, mainly for rich families.

Like in Youzhou, every family has spending power, which also makes them make a lot of money, and it is a long-term industry.

Li De didn't go to the vegetable market with most people, there were many people on the shore, although he was on patrol, he didn't want to take advantage of the rush hour to join in the fun, that would be really uninteresting.

Going to the high-end shopping street may make him think in silence.

Promoting the consumption of the people is what he thinks, according to the survey, the development speed of Youzhou is fast, and the people live and serve, but the concept of consumption is not so strong, and most people are still mainly saving money.

It's very annoying to save money and not spend it, so that money becomes a dead thing.

The new clothing that was popular before is still being produced by ready-to-wear shops, which really stimulates the consumption of the people.

Although it will last for a few years, it is not easy to wait for all the people in Youzhou to change their clothes, which can only be said that the number of ready-to-wear shops is still not enough.

Li De thought that Youzhou City was still in ruins, and according to the current speed of commercial development, it was far from keeping up with consumption.

Garment workshops can meet the needs of more people, train tailors and get a skill, and have the craft of eating for hundreds of years to come.

The inheritance of craftsmanship is the same as learning knowledge, which is beneficial to development and must be encouraged.

Li De walked around, feeling that the current stimulation of commercial development in Youzhou is still not enough, there is demand for consumption, and if the supply is not enough, then development will always be restricted.

Recently, the castle guard office conducted a survey on the needs of the people for goods, and after statistics, toilet paper ranked first.

Nowadays, the sixteen states of Youji have become accustomed to using toilet paper, and even the lack of supply is also very criticized.

Li De felt that it was time for the merchants to step in, and after a few months of buffering, the merchants must have accumulated a lot of wealth.

How can you not let them get involved, so there is an additional project about the construction of a toilet paper workshop in Youzhou in the investment notice of the city guard.

Since it is possible to make toilet paper, the manufacture of paper is actually the same, and the toilet paper workshop can also be converted into a paper workshop, but the process and equipment required are different.

As long as you have the money to invest in either one, there is no problem.

The development of Youzhou depends on the development of all walks of life rather than a specific number of workshops, otherwise the economy will be dependent, and once there is a problem in the factory, it may have to lose all its money.

"I heard that the Metropolitan Governor wants to share the papermaking project."

"I've heard about it too, but I don't know how much it will cost?"

"The new papermaking technology is certainly not cheap."

"Such a project may only be invested in by wealthy businessmen, but I heard that this papermaking project is for toilet paper."

"Isn't that better, toilet paper in Youzhou is hard to find, if someone is really willing to invest, it can be regarded as for the sake of the people."

"If you want to build a paper workshop, you have to compete with us for workers."

A lot of people are talking about it, a workshop can provide products, solve jobs, and get people to master technology.

Building a workshop is not so simple, from technology to production equipment, to training talents, Li De took out papermaking skills to attract small investment.
