"Situ En, aren't you too hot to swim around in the hot water?" Ding Qilin asked curiously.

"I'd love to!" Situ En was still swimming, and the wide pool was more than ten meters long, enough for him to swim freely.

"I mean, you've muddied the good water, you don't think you should take a break now." Ding Qilin continued.

Situ En still went his own way and ignored him at all.

"Governor, what are we going to do next?" Shi Huaiyi lifted the sackcloth and asked.

"Develop commerce, let businessmen drive the development of Youzhou City, and regather the people." Li Dedao.

"It's easier said than done, what kind of business are we going to do?" Hebida asked.

Li De looked at the somewhat turbid pool, the stones were sealed with yellow mud, and it was normal for the pool to be slightly turbid.

But in his opinion, it is very abnormal.

"Burn the stone." Li Dedao.

Gao Cheng said in his heart, the governor is crazy again, it's really incomprehensible, it's better to be a pioneer officer, and leave the rest to capable people to do.

"Burn stones, why burn stones?" Ding Qilin came to smell with interest.

"Stupid, didn't the governor just say that he should develop business." Situ En said.

The lieutenants all thought that what Li De said just now was right.

"When you finish bathing, notify Luo Yi and their soldiers to come and bathe." After Li De finished speaking, he left the pool.

Burning lime to make cement was secretly fired on a small scale when he was in Chang'an, and most of the lime was used in pig farms and the interior of Longqingfang.

Youzhou City, located in a desolate and sparsely populated area, can be said to be a deserted city, to say that the value is not even as great as the value of the surrounding farms, at least there are people on the land, even if the population is very small.

It is precisely because of this blank sheet of paper that in Li De's view, this is suitable for development.

He wants to build a commercial city and abandon the drawbacks of farming, of course, he also attaches great importance to agriculture, but it is located in a dangerous place, and it takes a lot of money to guard the fertile land.

After thinking about it, I decided to take the commercial road, at least one advantage is that it can make Youzhou City develop rapidly, and it can establish the prestige of the vanguard from scratch.

Even if the vanguard returns to Chang'an and is disbanded, the emperor will have to consider the situation in the sixteen states of Youji.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, if it is really stiff, I really don't know what the people will do out of place.

The most luxurious building in Youzhou City, the Governor's Mansion is borrowed from the mansion of a wealthy merchant who ran away.

As soon as he cleaned up, Li De took his guards and lieutenants to live in the Governor's Mansion, and the generals who had to live with the soldiers who had to live in a good house were obviously not like him.

At the same time as [Shuqi qixs.biz], a vanguard operations office was set up in the Governor's Palace, and an errand of a confidential lieutenant was set up, and all the people were gathered here to assist Li De in his affairs.

The confidential lieutenants are served by the captains of the logistics support guard, who know better about the material reserves of the vanguard, and they are the people of the ten captains, and they have the support of the lieutenants behind them when they do things.

In the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Mei and Luo Luo have become close partners, they can talk very well about the implementation of the intelligence network, and they are watching the situation of the confidential captain.

Li De visited the newly renovated operations office and the office of the confidential lieutenant, both of which were spacious and bright in style, and he liked it very much.

Compared with the empty combat office, the confidential captains are much more lively here, and people who are busy before and after abound, and the statistics of materials and the statistics of various situations in Youzhou City are reported by scouts at any time.

After they count, they will send someone to review it to avoid mistakes.

Zhang Chuchen, Xiao Mei and Luo Luo were studying things at a table, and none of them noticed when Li De came in.

"The urban construction drawings and the labels of the street shops are very detailed, which is really good." Li De praised.

It took a few people to react that there was someone.

"Walking without a sound scares a person." Zhang Chuchen said angrily.

"Are you too involved to blame me?" Li De defended himself.

"I can't blame you." Zhang Chuchen asked in turn.

Li De knew that he must not reason with women, so he did not continue the topic.

"What are you studying?"

"You're not talking about developing commerce, we're planning the shops in the city." Zhang Chuchen replied.

"You all want to go ahead of me and see what your results are?"

Li De didn't have much hope, and after checking it, he found that he really couldn't underestimate the woman's business talent, restaurants, tea houses, and commercial streets were all planned with noses and eyes.

Take a closer look, isn't this the same as the plan in Chang'an City?

"It's very good, if such a plan can be developed, it's really good, continue to work hard, the distribution of the east and west markets is forgotten, just establish a large business area in the center of the city, and expand it with the business area." Li De came up with an idea.

Zhang Chuchen thought about it and decided that there was nothing special, Xiao Mei didn't feel anything, but Luo Luo understood what Li De meant.

"The boss is wise, the businessmen are concentrated in the center of the city, and the place is not enough, it will definitely extend outward, so as to save the restaurant and tea house we set before, and let the businessmen develop themselves according to the needs in the future, which can save a lot of things." Lolo Dao.

"You still know this?" Li De asked curiously.

Luo Luo is very talented in business, and his thinking is different from others.

"I have more contact with businessmen, maybe I know their thoughts better." Luo Luo replied.

Zhang Chuchen and Xiao Mei meant to develop restaurants and teahouses as the eyeliner of the 'Red Peony' spy network, and Li De didn't think about this matter at all.

It's really not in his position and not in his politics, and he doesn't think as much as the two women.

In fact, Li De wouldn't care even if he knew, after all, what Youzhou City needs most now is economic recovery, gathering the people, and other things can only be regarded as secondary.

"Li Lang, you've been looking for you here for a long time." Pei Qingxuan walked over and said.

"You go on, I'll go out and talk about something." Li De greeted Zhang Chuchen and the others, and immediately walked out of the room with Pei Qingxuan.

"Has the limestone been found?" Li De asked.

"Found it, there are many on the cliff mountain ten miles away, and the reserves are very large, and it is no problem to build the workshop directly there, but it needs at least five hundred people to defend." Pei Qingxuan said.

"Five hundred?" Li De was surprised.

"Well, the terrain of Cliff Mountain is relatively complex, and you can only send more people to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks." Pei Qingxuan said.

"Just use the heavy cavalry of the Pei family to go over, the current recruitment of workers must be no fun, so let a few garrison soldiers and horses brought by the lieutenant go over to help with the construction, and when they leave, they will be able to use the workshop." Li Dedao.

"Husband, this is not appropriate, they are all borrowed soldiers and horses, and they can't be allowed to stay in Youzhou for too long." Pei Qingxuan reminded.
