Li Dezhen didn't know that the merchants in Youzhou would have such a big impact, and after understanding the situation in the fishing city clearly, he knew that all the merchants' investments had been implemented.

There is no showmanship, and the most surprising thing is that these businessmen are not here to make immediate profits.

Just like the fishing city now, more than ninety percent of the buildings are in an idle state, and after understanding, I learned that the businessmen are optimistic about the future development of the fishing city.

In fact, after Zheng Derong's introduction, every month in the sea will be a lot of people come to the fishing village, the population is growing rapidly, the new people are not rich, they only need to work for a year and a half to provide a fixed house, very easy.

Li De was very surprised by the businessmen's thinking, and at this time he had already come up with the routine of installment payment.

"It's going well." Li De praised.

Zheng Derong's face was full of red light, and he was very happy to be praised by the Metropolitan Governor, and he believed that knowing that holding Li De's thigh, their Zheng family would continue to be brilliant.

"Metropolitan Governor, our Zheng family's shipping seems to be developed, but there is still a lack of shipping vessels." Zheng Derong said.

"Isn't the volume of sea freight all planned and not in line with the data?" Li De asked.

Zheng Derong knew that he had to explain, and the data that Li De said was that the freight cooperation between the Zheng family and Youzhou was recorded every time, and the information was very detailed.

According to the data provided by Youzhou, it does not say that Zhengjia shipping capacity is insufficient, Li De wants to hear how Zheng Derong explains, it will not be a problem in any link.

"Our Zheng family's shipping is registered every time there is no smuggling of goods, the situation is that the proportion of goods of such businessmen accounts for more and more, under the premise of ensuring that the freight of Youzhou is met, the cargo space of the businessmen needs to be delayed, if a few more large ships can be satisfied, it will not delay the freight exchange between the north and the south."

Zheng Derong explained carefully, he didn't care about businessmen, but he had to be cautious in the face of Li De, for fear that if he didn't understand the explanation, he would ruin the future of the Zheng family.

Li De didn't know what Zheng Derong was thinking, and the change in his status was in the eyes of others, and he went back to figure out idle things.

It can be said that the north-south freight started from Youzhou, and the previous shipping was carried out closely with the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, which is why the Zheng family was able to develop.

With the development of Youzhou's commerce, more merchants need to bring goods to Nanyun, which allows the Zheng family to get a large number of waybills, but the number of shipping ships limited by the Zheng family is scheduled for a long time.

This led to a certain delay in the transportation of goods to the south by many merchants, but through the transportation of caravans, it was possible that the goods of other countries would arrive earlier than the sea to supply.

For the Zheng family, it also delayed a lot of orders, resulting in many merchants entrusting a large number of goods to the fleet for transportation as long as they did not go.

The large number of orders lost by the Zheng family added up to a shocking fortune, and Zheng Derong's desire for ships was carried with family pressure.

After Li De understood it, he knew the reason, the development of commerce is just like the current caravan, a caravan of 1,000 people is very common, and a caravan of 10,000 people is not unusual.

The rapid development of caravans, on the one hand, is the increase in freight volume, which shows that there is still a lot of room for the development of maritime transportation.

There was already a shortage of ships, and now the shipyard is being built, and building a large ship is not something that can be done in a few days.

Just like the shipyard in Youzhou, the ships produced are all medium-sized ships that can be launched in half a year, and these ships are used for coastal defense construction after production and modification tests, not as supply ships.

Only old ships that are decommissioned and do not play a role in coastal defense will be sold for use as merchant ships. fast

"The construction of the dock is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and I am in a hurry." Li De replied indifferently.

Li De has no better way to deal with this, he can't conjure it up immediately.

Zheng Derong knew very well in his heart, but he didn't delay him to "urge", after all, Li De, the governor of the capital, was busy with things, and if he neglected the construction of the dock, then the speed would definitely not be faster.

If you can be more careful, maybe the boat that the Zheng family wants to buy will be faster.

Li De knew very well that the matter of ships could not be completed overnight, after all, the main purpose of the investment in the dockyard was to establish a coastal defense fleet, so the ships built within three years were all needed by the fleet.

It would take three years for them to build merchant ships, and they had to find some old dockyards to invest in the construction of caravans.

The interests of the ocean are very huge, and it is impossible for Li De to give all the benefits to the Zheng family, not that he can't, but the benefits that the Zheng family alone can get are really limited.

In the next few days, Li De inspected the construction of various docks, the new docks are not so simple, most of the equipment is steam-powered, and it will take several years of work for the Youzhou blacksmith workshop to build these.

Therefore, the planning of the dock is done together, but the installation of equipment applied to the dock is completed in one place.

During Li De's patrol, Tong Fu rushed to contact Situ En immediately to tell him about Li De, and he was relieved to learn that their governor was inspecting the fishing city.

When Tong Fu arrived at Haoyucheng, Li De had already gone to inspect the dock project.

The affairs of Western Xia are not over, not long after Tong Fu arrived in Yucheng, the newspapers in Youzhou spread to Yucheng, and the whole page was written about the affairs of the King of Western Xia.

The incident of the King of Western Xia was known to the whole world for a while.

In Xixia City, Han Meng did what he did in less than a month after the King of Xixia was exposed, and at this time, Han Meng directly smashed a lot of things after seeing the newspaper before realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Send men to collect all the newspapers, and buy all the newspapers in the hands of the merchants, and not let the people see them."

His own scandal can threaten his position, although he doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the businessman, but he has to do it when the time comes.

The Western Xia soldiers were all dispatched, and it was really a house-to-house search, but everyone who had seen the newspaper was all warned.

The people of the caravan have no problem with this, they just need to take the money, they are here to make money, and they can save them a lot of trouble for bulk goods.

I want to make amends, but there are still many people who have seen the truth of things, but they can't do anything after they know it.

They are very precious to their little lives.

The courtiers of Western Xia were silent, but they did not say that it did not represent the discussion of various forces in the world.

Chang'an City, Li Yuan read the newspaper and had mixed feelings in his heart, the two brothers used such despicable means to fight for imperial power, seeing such a thing, he couldn't help but bring the matter into the matter of his two sons, and he kept sighing in his heart.

Li Yuan was thinking about whether his sons would develop into a war against each other, and the more he thought about it, the more troubled he felt.
