Chapter 804: Gathering Strength

"This Luo Tiehan has a lot of ideas, and he is a person who knows how to scrutinize."

Li De commented in his heart after hearing the news from the red peony.

He already knew about the affairs of the Qin clan, and had determined that these people should have something to do with the Dimen, and the purpose of this trip seemed to be to quell the rebellion, but in fact, it could be seen through their style of doing things, this was a rapid accumulation of strength.

If today's forces from all sides are frequently emerging, the purpose of accumulating power is always to be happy.

Besides, they collected and surrendered troops and copied the king's wealth, no matter how you look at it, they have a particularly strong purpose.

"Continue to pay attention to the people of the Qin clan."

Li De said this a few days ago, and now that Luoyang City is back to normal, the name of Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, has spread all over the world.

In the news collected by Red Peony, the appearance, style, and habits of the Qin clan were transmitted back again.

At this time, there was a detailed description on Li De's table, as well as some descriptions of the appearance of the Qin clan.

To Li De's surprise, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that these people were the same as the Terracotta Army.

"It's so strange that these people were born like this because of their bloodline."

Where did Li De see the people before him, and what he looked like, he can only be seen from the archaeological materials of later generations.

The most important point is that the average height of the Qin clan is more than one meter eight, and it is a bit strange to want to be similar.

Could it be that all the legendary people are true?

Li De is somewhat convinced, after all, he has seen more strange things.

Thinking of what Chen Shubao told him about Zangfeng Valley, he wouldn't be surprised if a few people beyond the power of mortals suddenly appeared one day.

"Grand Governor, the Qin clan is at war with Luo Tiehan, the king of Shadra, and it is not easy to deal with those people if they continue to develop." Red Peony's spy said.

Li De really doesn't want the whole world to be in a state of war, so he can't solve the problem through peaceful means.

"At present, it can't affect Youzhou, so let them toss first."

Li De's arrangement for Red Peony is still to investigate the news.

But he didn't do nothing.

Although the vanguard currently has only 500,000 soldiers and horses, they can borrow Shenwu cannons to help.

Li De has a lot of things to solve, shipbuilding, investment in industrial development are all his key focuses.

"Luo Luo, is there any news about the strange fruits and seeds that Red Peony is looking for?"

Luo Luo knew about this, and at that time, Li De took out a few sketches drawn in carbon ash and asked people from the red peony and the trading house to find them.

At the time, Lolo didn't know what was in the picture.

Li De just said at the time: "The round one is a potato, and the one is corn, tomato, carrot, spinach, ......."

At that time, Li De took a lot of things, but only so far he has found a crop called courgette.

And it is only a little similar to the appearance of the courgette in the picture, not as full as in the picture.

"So far, I've only found courgettes, but I heard that a cotton field was found not long ago."

"Cotton?"

"Good thing, let the chamber of commerce add an investment project, that is, to reclaim cotton fields, which can be harvested at a high price in the first three years."

For businessmen, as long as there are interests, they will think that the fastest development speed will be carried out, all of them are money, and early investment and early profit are the madness of Youzhou businessmen. 61

"Yes."

Luo Luo knew that Li De was going to start letting businessmen invest again, and he always felt that the wealth of the merchants in Youzhou would be hollowed out if this continued.

Even so, those businessmen are still very active in investing, and there are many things that she cannot understand.

"Cotton is a good thing, it can be used to make quilts, make winter clothes, and there will be no one who freezes to death in the sixteen states of my thistle."

Luo Luo didn't know that cotton still had such a role, so in order to be able to do things well, he asked Li De to carefully popularize the knowledge about cotton for him.

As a result, the concept of planting cash crops emerged from Youzhou.

When the merchants learned about the role of cotton, they all had confidence.

Planting and breeding are not in a hurry, Luo Luo was not much surprised after hearing about the role of cotton, because the Li family's winter quilts and clothes are all made of goose down and other materials.

Most of the winter tents used by the pioneers were made of wool, chicken feathers, goose feathers, etc.

The processing process is very troublesome, and it is very time-consuming to repeatedly cook and dry clearly, if there is a cotton cloth in the future, there will be better products for people to use.

Youzhou's indisputable attitude has allowed the people to live a prosperous life, but how can they avoid it in troubled times.

The 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Qin clan surrounded all the cottages where Luo Tiehan was located, and if they couldn't attack them, they besieged them, restricting them from hunting in the mountains and forests, so that the food in the cottages could not be replenished.

Half a month has passed since this consumption.

Luoyang had to provide food and salary for the Qin clan, and now the courtiers in Luoyang are almost unable to keep an eye on it.

Emperor Yang of Sui didn't leave much wealth when he left, and he was able to support it until now because Luoyang's granary was relatively sufficient.

Otherwise, how could the defenders hold out until now.

During this time, it was necessary to provide food for the Wagang soldiers, as well as to supply the city defense troops, and to support the Qin clan, which had only 30,000 people to support before.

Now it has expanded to 80,000 people, and the extra 50,000 people of grain court officials are not in favor of taking it out.

Just to borrow the knife of the Qin clan, Nameless and Wang Shichong and others chose to support it.

They all now hoped that the Qin clan would be able to defeat Luo Tiehan so that they would win the support of their ministers.

As long as the anti-king is pacified, it is nothing for the country to pay some food and salary, as long as they insist on Luoyang City to collect taxes, they will be able to recover.

In Jiangling, Yang You, the third grandson of Yang Guang supported by Li Yuan, was proclaimed emperor in Jiangling.

He also wanted to be closer to Chang'an, so he put his family background in the generals, and the people he trained served as courtiers, and a large part of the officials were all from various families who supported him.

A full-fledged court was thus formed.

"Have you found out about the Qin clan?" Li Yuan asked his ministers.

Yang You is the mascot, and the treatment is not much better than Yang Tong, the difference is that Li Yuan really can't say a word here.

The people who served around him did not have a father-in-law, let alone a palace for him to live in.

It can be regarded as saving the cost of supporting puppets.

The appearance of the Qin clan made Li Yuan feel a crisis, and since the matter of Dimen was exposed by the newspapers in Youzhou, many people have been looking for it.

Including the Li family is looking for it.

The enemy of their belief may be a friend, as long as there is interest.

Especially to be able to lay chess pieces against the forces of Youzhou.

Don't look at the fact that each force is developing independently, in fact, they have an unwritten consensus that the forces in the world will inevitably have a side of Youzhou, and they all want to accumulate strength before their power is inferior to Youzhou.
