The inns in the city were mostly filled with merchants, and they were talking during meals, and their carriages were parked outside the city, guarded by vanguards.

During the autumn harvest, all empty carts were forbidden to enter the city, because there were too many merchants and horse-drawn carriages to obstruct traffic.

So Youzhou City issued such a decree to gather all the carriages outside the city.

There are many people eating in the inn hall, and the merchants are dressing up and communicating.

"Where are you from, I'm from Luoyang."

"Coincidentally, we are also from Luoyang, which grain store are you?"

"Chen's grain shop."

"I only brought a small shop in the south of the city, why did you travel so far to buy food, it's not cost-effective to buy less."

The little brother who just spoke was very unhappy in his heart, obviously being looked down upon.

The peer is the enemy of the Chen family, although the grain shop is not big, but it is also a little famous.

"I haven't asked my brother which grain store he is, how can he see him."

"Haha, we are the Zhang family in the south of the city."

"The Zhang family who opened the silk village?"

"That's right."

The little brother of the Chen family was speechless, the Zhang family in the south of the city was engaged in a silk business, and the scale was very large, so how could they go here to transport grain.

In this way, wouldn't these grain merchants come in vain, and they don't think about it, thinking that the Zhang family also has to ship the grain they buy, and the price will not necessarily be cheap.

"Oh, your Zhang family wants to do a grain business?"

The people of the Zhang family did not shy away from it, and said directly and calmly: "Maybe in the future, you can find our Zhang family when you buy food in the future." ”

The little brother of the Chen family looked stunned, and said in his heart, although your Zhang family is rich, our Chen family is not a small family.

Speaking of which, where do you have the leisure to continue to rip it off, hurry back and talk to the shopkeeper.

It is no secret that the grain harvest in Youzhou is not a secret, and the merchants have seen the growth of crops since the last time they came to the cattle and horse market.

Organic fertilizer has also become a sought-after commodity with the understanding of merchants.

Li De's fertilizer workshop is very large, dozens of times larger than the scale in Chang'an, so the organic fertilizer in the first year is a little insufficient.

Now a large number of public toilets have been built in the streets of the sixteen prefectures of Youji, and the daily collection of liquid phase has also become a sought-after job.

Part-time jobs can make money, clean up the streets, and there will be special ways to dispose of the manure of livestock in cattle and horse markets.

After spring ploughing, the yield of opportunity fertilizer increases significantly, and a large part of it is used as a reserve.

Merchants had no way to buy if they wanted to, and the grain production went up, the more money they made from the grain.

The people are waiting, and the merchants are not willing to miss such an opportunity.

The Governor's Mansion, Li De still lives here, and the City Lord's Mansion is under construction, which is specially used for office, and it will take a while to complete.

Merchants from all over the world gathered in the Governor's Palace, and these were merchants who had already agreed to receive grain.

"Governor, our money has arrived, just waiting for the grain to be loaded."

Li De looked at Wei Li, the business is all negotiated by the business house, so it is natural to let the people who are most familiar with the situation understand.

"The orders of the Metropolitan Governors have been verified, and the money is almost clear." Wei Li said.

"Well, then let them collect the grain, let Li Shimin send more people to be responsible, the food problem must not go wrong." Li Dedao.

The autumn harvest officially began, the harvest was joyful, the vanguard was in action, and a large number of soldiers were photographed to help.

All that remains is the vanguard's own rations.

Li Dedu personally participated in the work, and this was the first time that the vanguard had their own grain reserves and did not spend a penny to buy it.

It didn't take long for the large granaries that had been prepared for a long time to be filled, and many smaller granaries were being filled one after another.

The merchants' convoys were waiting near the fields, and Li Shimin sent personnel to count the harvested grain, while Weili's people were responsible for helping the merchants load the grain into the trucks.

The merchants walked one after another, watching as the number of wagons outside the city dwindled until the last wagon was loaded with grain and left.

The autumn harvest is over, and the people who have received the grain are very happy, where have they ever seen such a good harvest.

The main reason is that even if part of it is taken away by the vanguard at a low price, the remaining grain is incomparable to other state capitals.

The people of the other state capitals of Youji were envious, and it didn't take long for the news to spread.

When many people heard this, they wanted to go to Youzhou to develop, and the people who didn't want to be poor began to take action, nominally talking about visiting relatives in Youzhou, but in fact, they didn't want to be blocked by the local state capital.

Who doesn't want to live a better life, before the winter, the population of Youzhou City has won a high rise.

Hundreds of thousands of people poured in, and they could only be arranged in various state capitals.

When the population is replenished, there is great pressure on management, and it is necessary to solve the problem of food, clothing, shelter and transportation for these people.

The workshops in various state capitals are expanding the recruitment conditions, and the construction has not stopped.

Li De really doesn't mind having more people, anyway, the grain in the reserve is sufficient now, and the situation will be even better when spring planting is cultivated next year.

The emergence of a population of more than 100,000 has made it easier to recruit in the Thistle region, at least on the soldier side.

Now the number of vanguard soldiers has reached 300,000, 200,000 Youzhou soldiers, 50,000 Youji soldiers, and 50,000 in Liaoshui outpost.

The Goryeo people have not moved for a long time, and Hebida has no intention of taking the initiative to attack the past, but Goryeo has been actively making defensive deployments.

He Bida didn't care what they did, his purpose was to collect the remnants of the Sui State and establish a military city.

On the one hand, it was used to defend against the invasion of Goryeo and other countries, and on the other hand, it was to prevent the attacks of the Northern Barbarians and Turks.

In fact, he had long thought that Li De intended to attack Liaoshui, but the objective conditions did not allow it.

For example, material reserves, the adaptation of soldiers and horses to the Liaoshui environment, and the understanding of the situation of Liaoshui forces should all be considered.

You can't be in a hurry to fight a war, and you can't follow the experience of Emperor Yang of Sui's defeat.

"Captain Hedu, General Luo came with 5,000 soldiers and horses to deliver supplies." The scout came back to report it.

Luo Yi brought a lot of people this time, and there were many craftsmen.

Hebida was able to guess some of the situation when he took him.

"Captain Hedu, the Governor of Dadu ordered me to send the preparations." Luo Yi said directly.

He Bida had already seen three times as many chariots as before, especially the bow carts.

"It's windy and sand outside, let's go into the military city and say."

He Bida invited people into the military city, Luo Yi came for the first time, and when he came inside, he found that the part-time job was a war fortress.

The thick city wall has enough arrows on it, and there are many bows and crossbows mounted on the city wall, all of which are triggered by traps.

Just now I saw a lot of uneven ground outside the military city, and there must be traps directly underground.

It's not easy for him to ask openly, after all, it's better to keep it secret than to use it against the enemy.

"This is the original barracks of millions of soldiers and horses in Liaoshui, and it has been transformed into what it is now, and it is strange that some of them have missed General Luo." Hebida said.
