"Your Majesty, maybe we can send an envoy to negotiate peace, and withdrawing from the Central Plains region will definitely be exchanged for Youzhou not going west."

The ministers were all more anxious, they knew very well that even if Tang sent all the troops and horses, they might not really be able to stop the all-out attack of Youzhou, so why not solve it while the situation could still be controlled.

Taking a step back, what the Tang Kingdom needs is stable development, and accumulating strength is what they want.

Besides, they don't think that Youzhou has so much energy to use troops against them, as long as they can give up their sphere of influence, they can use this to drag Youzhou.

Just like at the beginning, Youzhou didn't want to send troops to the Central Plains region, and it can be seen that they can't have so much energy and resources to develop.

If there is really the Central Plains, it may delay the development of Youzhou's forces.

The ministers' ideas are sometimes so naïve, but what they say is also true, the Central Plains region is too big to develop, and it must be supported, and it is not so simple to be in charge of the world.

Take the control of the Yellow River as an example, it requires a lot of money and investment, and if it encounters floods, the losses are very huge.

If Li De heard what these people were discussing, he would think that these people were all incredible characters, and they all knew that they used natural disasters as weapons, but unfortunately this kind of super-concept was beyond their control.

Li Yuan felt very reasonable when he heard it, the three of them became tigers and said a thing too much, it would become true, I have to say that out of the protection of the Tang Kingdom, he really felt that it was feasible.

But they are also afraid that if the Central Plains becomes a Youzhou force, they may really be unable to fight.

In the end, Li Yuan sent people to give orders to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to form a joint army and horses to fight against the vanguard.

The Central Plains War has ended, and what we have to do now is to protect ourselves, and more importantly, we must send an envoy to talk, and we must exchange Li Yuanji back.

In this way, Li Yuanji's hostage played a role, at least Tang Guo was not attacking the Central Plains, that is, Youzhou took a big advantage in this battle of the Central Plains.

The vanguard under Pei Qingxuan's good command was not idle, and after having prisoners of war, they increased their labor and let them participate in road construction.

A large number of surveyors sent by Youzhou played their part in the planning of the occupied land.

A large amount of land was zoned for arable land, and millions of people were busy occupying it and building major roads.

Many people may not know what they are doing, but they can see that these people are helping to build a new city.

They leveled the land, built roads, planned farmland, and searched for water sources to investigate where the people lived.

The most important thing is to publicize the decree of Youzhou in a place where there are people after the occupation, which has been supported by the people, and there is no better condition in this world than the conditions given by Youzhou.

In particular, it has great benefits for the people who are engaged in farming, and I believe that they will be able to live a prosperous life in three years.

A large amount of idle labor is symptomatic, and it can be said that this expansion is to open the way with money.

Li De of Youzhou has faced a large number of material lists and money accounts every day since the Central Plains War.

If it is said that the money is spent like flowing water when it is built in Youzhou City, then looking at the various accounts in front of you can really be said to spend money like the ocean.

Every day, the money in the treasury is consumed, and the power has expanded, and there are many things, and if you look at the information that has been reflected from the Central Plains region, it will be a bit of a loss in the short term.

According to the census, the number of local people is less than 300,000, and the standard of living is very low, especially when there is no jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the people have to give more food to the local cities and counties if they want to protect their food.

For these things, the vanguard will handle it well, and it is one thing to take the initiative to surrender to the Central Plains, so that when Youzhou sends troops to the Central Plains, the vanguard will be in charge of the initiative in everything.

Hundreds of thousands of people will have a new life from now on, and the local farming information has been passed back, according to the survey, their annual harvest is less than 30% of Youzhou's farming.

It's not that they don't take care of it carefully, it can only be said that compared with the cultivation technology, it is a little backward than Youzhou, which has fertilizer technology.

Now it is too late to top dress, so we can only wait for next year, but according to their harvest, Li De decided that the first year's grain will be purchased by merchants at market prices.

After the fertilizer is used in the second year, some of it will be purchased at the internal price of the castle guard, which will also give the people a buffer time.

It is expected that the money spent in the future will be far more than now, and the entire Central Plains region will be occupied, but it will directly expand the area of Youzhou, including twice the area of northern Liao.

When the time comes, development and construction will not be a matter of building a few cities.

Li De looked at the thick stacks of accounts in front of him, he had to think of some way to deal with these consumptions, all the industries that are being developed and invested must be able to make more money.

Now that the national construction has been carried out, these new people can just join in, and making money to improve their lives is their most urgent thing.

Since he invested money in construction, Li De has no intention of repenting, one road is to build two roads, it is nothing more than to spend more money.

In his opinion, it is not a matter if things can be solved with money, it just so happens that the third prince of Tang has become a prisoner, and he can ask for more money from his father-in-law.

If it is according to the current trend, the rivers and mountains of the Tang Kingdom will be cheaper to the Li brothers sooner or later, but that is all temporary, and in the end he will let his father-in-law see that in fact, the person he loves the most is his daughter.

The Tang delegation was still on the way, and Li De had already remembered it, and I have to say that the two sides really had a tacit understanding on some things.

It's good that the things in front of us still have to be solved, no matter what you do, you can't solve the problem without gold and silver, and no money is the problem.

If you increase your sphere of influence, increase your population, and have more territory, you can't take the road of commercial development next, after all, not all places meet the conditions for commercial development.

We can only use business to drive development, but we can't rely on business as the foundation, and the foundation is still real money.

So Li De gave a new task, and the mines discovered by the exploration team were to be put into mining, and all the captured Tang soldiers went to mine and work.

Not only that, but they also recruited laborers in the local area, and they were paid well, including room and board, and meat for all three meals, not to mention relatively high wages.

High-intensity manual labor is six hours a day, with a maximum of two hours of overtime, and one day off in a shift system, and the daily wage is 10 cents.

When Pei Qingxuan was fighting, the City Guard Mansion sent people to implement this matter, and they were able to find that the diffusion exploration team played a great role, and they were all encouraged by bonuses.

Most of the people hired from Youzhou have returned to Youzhou, and some of them have directly joined the new job, all of them are part-time jobs, since they have high-paying occupations, why not do them.
