In a few days, Li Mi replaced Zhai Rang and really ran Wagang as a whole, they had no city to occupy, but they launched an attack on a granary in the world.

Li Mi had already made a calculation, using the royal secret agents to grasp the information for a long time, and the integrated 15,000 soldiers and horses took the granary without much twists and turns, and occupied Xingluo City, deciding to use it as a stronghold for the Wagang soldiers.

With the granary, the grain warehouse was directly opened to release grain, and a small amount of grain was used to increase the number of soldiers and horses in Wagang to 50,000 or 60,000 in a short period of time.

If it weren't for the short time, it would have been easy to gather more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

The Wagang soldiers have sprung up, and all the forces are envious, thinking that so many forces will also start to grab food.

Everything happened in half a month.

The 300,000 northwestern soldiers withdrew and directly caught up with Emperor Yang of Sui's troops, and were attacked several times on the way back to Luoyang.

Li De returned to Youzhou with soldiers and horses to continue to operate Youzhou to maintain peace, and the merchants gathered in Youzhou one after another, and they didn't want to be involved in the war.

A large number of people have integrated into the sixteen states of Youji, which has led to a lot of real estate prices in Youzhou, and the city guard mansion has begun to settle down in the future to verify the identity of the people.

"Governor, the population of Youzhou has tripled, and now people are moving to other state capitals, but there may not be enough resettlement houses in each state capital, and it takes a lot of money to build a large number of houses."

Li Yang found Li De and told him about his current financial situation, but he also didn't quite understand why he wanted to allocate houses to those who had settled down.

Of the various state capitals of the Sui State, only Youzhou has this treatment, which costs a lot of money, which is really given for nothing.

"Big brother, now that the population has doubled, if you go all out to build a house, why don't you pay too much, can't you let them solve it on their own?"

Li Yang really doesn't have to worry about the residence of the visitors, they can build some shacks to live in, this situation is too common.

If you really want to build houses for these people, you will spend a large part of the finance, which is related to the future development of Youzhou, and he is really reluctant.

"Houses must be built, and now that we have manpower, we will do a good job of planning for housing construction from now on, and the newly settled population will be obliged to undertake the service, so we will provide food, let them start working, and just do it according to the rules."

Li Yang already knew Li De's attitude, although he was very distressed about money, he could only do what he was told.

The state capitals provided construction materials and engineering drawings, and the newly settled people contributed to the construction of their own homes.

They don't have a salary, but they take care of food, and when they live there, they will be charged a minimum monthly rent.

Why do they charge rent, it is because the house is not given for free, and they are not the first batch of people to come to Youzhou.

Later, the population was no longer divided into land, and if you wanted to make money, you needed to find a job, and now the new settlers are like this.

The situation in Youzhou may not be known to newcomers, although there is no land allocation, but it is still very simple to find a job.

Each state capital in the sixteen states of Youji has open recruitment announcements, as long as you go outside the gate of the city guard mansion to see what suitable jobs there are.

If these were the norm before, the new influx of people still needs to adapt to life in Youzhou.

The first time I came here, a lot of things were uncomfortable, and they were mainly trying to escape the fighting.

When someone asked them to work, many people didn't understand at first, thinking that they had been arrested directly, and there were several troubles.

As a result, hundreds of people were all driven out of Youzhou.

When they understand the situation, they realize that their ignorance has caused them to miss out on what a life they are looking forward to.

Those who stayed were glad that they weren't the ones who made the trouble.

Soon, the residential area of Youzhou City expanded to a large extent, but this time the real estate construction was relatively simple, with a much less foundation of masonry structures, and most of them were wooden house structures.

Even this is much better than the houses that the newcomers used to live in.

Li Ying presided over the construction investment, and the construction of the sixteen states of Youji became the same day by day, and many people were recruited into the barracks without having time to consider the problem of housing.

After a strict selection, 100,000 new recruits joined, and the new recruits were all infantry, and the weapons and armor once again cost a lot of money.

"Big brother, after recruiting 100,000 recruits, we don't have much money."

Li Yang is really not calm this time, he has never seen such a person who can spend money, and now that the financial situation is tight, he has to consult with Li De.

"I can't touch any money I have left, and I need to recuperate now."

Li De read the accounts, and sighed.

Li Yang saw that his eldest brother really realized his attitude, and he also relaxed a lot, as long as this metropolitan governor is not spending, the financial resources of Youzhou City will definitely be better than now after a three-year delay.

"It seems that the income is still not enough, and now that the population is increasing, it seems that it is necessary to expand a few workshops, kilns, and fleets."

Li Xuan's face darkened instantly, didn't he say that he didn't spend money indiscriminately, why did he want to expand the workshop at this moment, and how much money would be spent.

"Big brother, there is really not much money left in the account now, and if you spend it again, you may not even be able to open the official's money." Li Ying solemnly reminded.

"If you don't invest, how to create value, listen to me, if you want to make money, you need to know how to pay first, and the money is spent more and more." Li Dedao.

Li Xuan's eyelids jumped, he turned around and went out, he was sure that he would be angry to death if he told his eldest brother about money again, and it was more reliable to go to his sisters-in-law.

Of course, Li De knows that engaging in real estate construction puts the finances in crisis, but this thing cannot be left undone, and now he has to think about making money again.

"Husband, do you have a way to fill in the financial accounts?" The Jade County Lord then came in and asked.

Li Yang just went out to find the lord of Yujun, and the vanguard finances are in charge of her, and now the money for building houses is from the financial expenditure of the city guard, and it has no impact on the finances of the vanguard.

But the lord of Yujun also has some opinions about Li De spending money so much, after all, the governor of the capital is responsible for the entire Liaobei.

She didn't want to see a problem with the forces that Li De was in charge of.

"Isn't all the money earned, I have already figured out a way to expand the workshop to provide more jobs and increase the production capacity of goods, and now most of the merchants of the Sui Kingdom are gathered in Youzhou, and now we have an advantage in this regard."

"Okay, husband, no matter what you do, I will support you."

Li Yang at the door was really discouraged when he heard it, why couldn't his sister-in-law persuade him well, it was all the money of the city guard.

His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and Li Ying really had no choice but to take out all the reserve money from the Finance Department to build a workshop.

The various departments in Youzhou felt a lot of pressure, and Youzhou was still engaged in economic construction when the world was in turmoil.
