Chapter 1005 Garrison in the Central Plains
Li De's idea is very simple, since he has occupied the Central Plains, he can't ignore it, otherwise it won't be long before he loses control.
In order to be able to build a good foundation, he has been working hard, otherwise the world would have been full of vanguards.
The central city is a key plan in charge of the Central Plains, and in the future, multiple large cities with a population of one million will be built in Youzhou's sphere of influence, and these cities will be used as the foundation for development, and then extended outward.
It took a lot of money to build these cities and counties, so the people had to create more wealth to support the construction.
The businessmen in Youzhou are enthusiastic about investment, but their investment is already very large, and it can be said that there are really projects that are distributed to them and they can't get the money.
For this reason, Li De had to slow down the pace of development, first seek stability and then try to develop.
The Lingnan strategy went very smoothly, and all those who did not cooperate were retained as laborers and began to build seaports and cities in the south.
Both the Central Plains and Lingnan have become Youzhou, and they already occupy half of the country on the map.
After Hebida had stabilized the situation in Lingnan, he began to deploy new troops, and at the same time let the local people continue to engage in production.
In many places, a large number of workshops have been opened to meet the needs of local daily necessities, and businessmen are very active when they see business opportunities, and they are very happy to build more workshops for large-scale investment projects.
Especially in Lingnan, there is nothing at all, they build a local workshop to sell products, the cost and demand meet their investment income, and the construction time is faster than imagined in a few months.
In Youzhou City, the people discussed the affairs of the Central Plains after tea and dinner, although it has been two months, but the impact is still great.
There is nothing for the people to discuss, and it has become a common thing to talk casually.
Li De put down what he was doing and took people to inspect, this is already a routine, and he always has to listen to the voices of the people.
He is also thinking about the idea of making money next, in order to be able to alleviate the financial pressure, he has asked Hebida to buy and collect local medicinal materials, a large number of wild herbs can bring great economic value.
For this reason, Li De's main place to inspect is the shops, most of the current pharmacies are selling finished medicines, and some drugs for the treatment of symptoms are prepared in advance, which is very convenient.
After several years of development, the medical school was able to develop new drugs every once in a while, and the effectiveness of each prescription was verified according to ancient texts and clinical trials.
There are also specialized doctors to develop prescriptions to achieve the best results, and a large number of medicinal materials are required to support drug development alone.
The project to make a fortune has been thought about since it took Nanjiang City, and the cultivation of medicinal herbs is the direction of future development.
Nanjiang City, Lingnan District and other places are very suitable for development.
Now he is mainly building roads, and Li De doesn't want to open more other projects, so he can only develop slowly for the time being.
After the Tang State signed a cooperation agreement, it was very beneficial to the merchants of Youzhou, so Li De sold many daily products to Chang'an and Luoyang, and the royal family may not have much money, but the family is very wealthy.
Let's just say that Li Shimin was able to scrape together 2 million yuan by casually confiscating the family property of some corrupt officials.
Li De wanted to open the commercial road of the Tang Kingdom and sell all the goods from Youzhou to Chang'an and Luoyang.
Pei Qingxuan came back triumphantly, and the war in the Central Plains was officially over, and Li Yuan was relieved after getting the news, otherwise there would always be a sense of crisis.
"Husband, the Tang State's troops have suffered serious losses for a while, and they don't have the strength to fight back, but why don't you just pacify them, the vanguard has such strength."
Pei Qingxuan didn't understand a little, although attacking Chang'an and Luoyang would definitely lose soldiers and horses, but when the time comes, it will be worth losing some soldiers and horses when the world is unified.
Li De saw Pei Qingxuan's murderous aura, this time the battle seemed to be a great advantage for the vanguards, but it really started fighting, and both sides had losses.
If you can live in peace, why should you become a mortal enemy, although you can think of it this way, but it is difficult to understand such a thing as profit.
Li De faced Pei Qingxuan's question, he could only say that Youzhou was not ready, it was not so simple to want Chang'an and Luoyang, and what the strongest fortress was most afraid of was being eroded from the inside.
Many people's ideological stubbornness cannot be changed, even if the occupation of the Tang State seems to be able to unify the world, in fact, there are far more problems to face than now.
The main reason is that there are too many unstable factors, and it is not realistic to eliminate all those family forces.
"Is it easy to occupy, although the Tang State has not been founded for a long time, but don't underestimate the heritage of the Sui Dynasty, the family riches in the two cities of Chang'an and Luoyang are not much less than the merchant property in Youzhou, and the management is not only to look at the money, but also to look at the situation, in case some people do things will be very troublesome."
Li De knows very well that just like the current Li Yuan, the future Li Shimin or others, as long as the Tang State is still in the current system, it will inevitably face many problems.
Those wealthy families are not easy to deal with, and in order to be able to live in peace for a long time, they must be able to feel the way of Youzhou.
The people of the Central Plains and Lingnan regions must first understand the rules of Youzhou, who is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and this status has such a thing as Shinong Industry and Commerce, and there is absolutely no such thing as these statements in Youzhou's forces.
Fundamentally, the feudal system was broken, and merchants and craftsmen were just occupations, and there was no distinction between high and low.
More emphasis is placed on talent as the foundation, and there is no difference between scholars and ordinary people, and there will be no discrimination.
Li Deren is propagating Youzhou's decree every day, and the people must be liberated from the prison of thought.
Labor to earn money to support your family is the most basic, and reading can make it easier for you to find a job, rather than making the world's best scholars come from wealthy families.
Li De replied to Pei Qingxuan and briefly explained the reason, and then eliminated Pei Qingxuan's complaints, it is still too early to take charge of the world.
There will be a shortage of talents when you send out talents in Youzhou, so Li De said that there is no way, and the newly occupied cities and counties always have to be managed.
"Youzhou's power is expanding, how to manage the Central Plains region next, if you want to divide troops and garrison, according to the current situation, it is conservatively estimated that 300,000 soldiers and horses will be needed." Pei Qingxuan said.
Before she came back, she had already thought about it, the Central Plains would not be able to have soldiers and horses stationed, and it would not work if there were less, the first thing to defend was Taiyuan Mansion and Wagang City, and then the soldiers and horses of the Tang State in the direction of Luoyang.
300,000 soldiers and horses, in recent months, 300,000 soldiers and horses have really been recruited, but let them leave Youzhou, and the safety of Youzhou may be in danger.
Pei Qingxuan was just worried that there was really a possibility of danger, and the chance of it really happening was very small.
