Li Jiancheng led the soldiers and horses all the way very smoothly, and when the Li family's soldiers and horses had occupied one-third of the area, the scouts in Youzhou began to act.

The vanguard sent 300,000 troops from Youzhou, and they were already on the way, and their speed was relatively slow, because wherever they passed, they would be classified as Youzhou's sphere of influence.

200,000 soldiers and horses, followed by millions of hired people, their task is to follow the vanguard to occupy the Central Plains.

After discussing with the think tank, Li De decided that since he made a move, then he had to expand the power of Youzhou.

The 200,000 soldiers and horses sent in advance are enough to complete the first phase of the task, and the people hired from Youzhou will mobilize the local people to take charge of the follow-up reception.

The mighty team gave people the momentum of a million soldiers, and millions of people had to be responsible for many things, among which there were many caravans and so on.

Youzhou mobilization, if the Central Plains region is recovered, it will occupy half of the country, and so many people have to be mobilized for these areas.

The people scattered to the place where there were people to collectively pacify the local people, and also transported supplies for the vanguards, and after the occupation, many people would be temporarily stationed and waiting for the follow-up city guards to send people to receive them.

In order to be able to keep the fruits of the victory, Li De directly transferred the officials of the city guard, and a large number of responsible persons were transferred, and they absolutely could not let go after the fight.

Yang Yuer took the list of materials to Li De to check, and it costs money to mobilize soldiers and horses and materials for millions of people.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about food.

"The granaries of the barracks have been opened, and the material value is 3 million guan, and the expenditure related to the remuneration of the people who may need to be stationed for a long time is more than expected, and it is estimated that the employment expenditure for six months is about 1.8 million guan."

One hundred thousand guan is nothing to Youzhou, but the road repair project and the construction project of Nanjiang City have a large expenditure, and the expenditure of Lingnan strategy is still continuing, and thousands of guan have been spent after calculation.

Coupled with the situation in the Central Plains, it really used most of the funds in the treasury of Youzhou, and the treasury in northern Liaoning is currently balanced.

Li De calculated the accounts, there are many projects in Youzhou, which require a lot of money every year, and after the project of opening the steam locomotive, he has added additional funds.

At present, only the bicycle processing factory project in Wagang has recovered the cost of 2 million guan, and the actual profit that can be earned after deducting the cost is only hundreds of thousands of guan.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars are a drop in the bucket for current expenditures.

"Yu'er, the treasury can still support it, just a million funds." Li De is very calm, it is only a matter of time before the cost is recovered, and he is not in a hurry.

But the person in charge of the city guard mansion can't help but be in a hurry, spending tens of millions of yuan is using the root of Youzhou, can they not be in a hurry.

Even Yang Yuer had to personally show Li De the accounts of the vanguards, the purpose was to let Li De see that the huge amount of expenditure was likely to affect Youzhou.

Li De has always spent money like running water, and now when he sees the list of materials, the most important thing is actually the account of money and property, and in just a few months, he has consumed the money accumulated in several years, and he also knows why Yang Yuer has to come over in person for such a good thing as sending documents.

Take a closer look at the expenditure, which is a bit large, and this money can build dozens of Chang'an City.

"It's time to make some money." Li De said indifferently.

Yang Yu'er saw that Li De was not taking it seriously at this time, and her heart was much more steady.

Li De also didn't pay attention, but the fact that he was able to save so much money in just a few years shows that the development of Youzhou is good.

"I don't know how Li Shimin will choose the two million Guan in Wagang." Li De said suddenly.

Yang Yuer knew that someone from Wagang City had ordered bicycle production equipment.

"Husband, do you want to take the opportunity to stop supplying and take this opportunity to ask the Wagang City authorities for an explanation."

Yang Yuer's first thought was that if Wagang City participated in the war, then if he tore up the contract from Youzhou for this reason, he really didn't have to pay anything, and the money would definitely not be returned.

"Youzhou is a commercially developed city, how can it be possible to tear up the contract because of this matter, the equipment must be sold to them, the people from Wagang City have already negotiated yesterday at this time, and they will not regret it."

Li De really did not regret it, but promised them to provide high-quality materials from Youzhou and give them some orders from Youzhou.

Yang Yuer suddenly became interested, people who know Li De know that there is such a good thing, it will not be cheap for others, if Wagang's bicycles are sold to Youzhou, it is not to compete with them for business.

No matter how unhappy Li Shimin is with his brothers, it is the power of the Tang State, and this time he sent troops to the Central Plains, I don't believe that Li Shimin will not be moved.

Li Shimin was very moved, but it was not of much interest to him to get involved, so he sent someone to Youzhou to explain the situation, in fact, he didn't want the two million to go down the drain.

Li De's plan is not just for two million, these are just some equipment, and the specific things depend on how Li Shimin chooses.

"Leave the matter of making money to me, now it depends on the combat effectiveness of the Tang Kingdom."

Yang Yuer also knew that the money on the list of supplies had to be spent, and the top priority was to see the results of the Central Plains competition.

She had faith in the vanguard.

Li Shimin's soldiers and horses have not yet been mobilized, just like Li De said, the two million guan they invested is not a small amount of money, you must know that the annual tax revenue of the Tang State is only several million guan.

For the sake of two million, Li Shimin has offended many families in the Tang Kingdom, can he really watch the water go away.

Besides, Youzhou is a commercial capital, and it is always difficult to repay the debt.

The people of Wagang City have sent the message back as soon as possible.

Li Shimin has been waiting for news.

"Your Highness, the people sent to Youzhou have returned." The eldest grandson Wuji hurried to the palace.

"How's it going?" Li Shimin was handling government affairs, and as soon as he heard the news that it was a bicycle workshop, he immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Youzhou promised to deliver equipment in accordance with the contract, but if you want to sell in Youzhou, you must wait for the end of the Central Plains, and the price of purchased materials will be sold according to the market price, and there will be no more discounts, unless Wagang does not participate in Tang's action against the Central Plains."

The eldest grandson Wuji said the matter in one breath, the meaning is very simple, if you want to do business, you can't participate in the war in the Central Plains.

"Your Highness!" Eldest Sun Wuji didn't want to participate, but he also knew that it wasn't something he could decide.

Li Shimin was in a better mood when he heard that business was going on, but when he heard that things were still taking a turn, he was embarrassed.

Wagang did not participate in the war in the Central Plains, how could it be.

Although he is not yet the crown prince, the Tang Kingdom is still established by their Li family, and if he does not participate this time, it will be tantamount to making him defect from the Tang Kingdom.

Do you want to make such a decision for the sake of two million yuan?

Li Shimin's expression was no longer expressionless, and things were already so that he had to make a decision.

"Tell me to go down, gather troops and horses and go on the march!"
