Chapter 776: Life in Youzhou

Just taking advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop Ningzhou, he felt that it was time to do something.

"The popularization of schools has already paid off, and if you want to further develop education, how can you do without libraries."

"Collect books from all over the world, rub them out for people to read."

Li De immediately called people to prepare after thinking of this.

The library does not need to be placed in Youzhou City, and there are many properties to choose from in the construction project, so you can directly choose a large pavilion.

Li De directly chose a three-story pavilion closest to the residential area, with a very large construction area and used as a library.

The workshop quickly made a plaque, Youzhou Library, three floors, each floor to create twenty bookshelves, tables, chairs and benches can be used by sixty people at the same time, and the three floors together can accommodate one hundred and fifty people.

Youzhou Library provides free reading and sales.

It is an upgrade of the bookstore, which is set up in the most densely populated area for the convenience of readers, and provides convenience for readers from poor families.

He knew that after the construction of this library, there would definitely be a lot of children from poor families who would come, and when the time came, a low-rent building would be prepared, and it might be possible to promote the development of this cultural area in the future.

This matter will be carried out together with this year's autumn harvest, the autumn harvest is a big event, and Youzhou is counting on the newly harvested grain.

Thanks to the efforts of the people, the area of land in Youzhou has expanded again, and the harvest will be higher than in previous years after the use of organic fertilizer.

The granaries in Youzhou City have all been prepared.

Don't look at the output, after several years of development, the population of Youzhou has also increased, and the subsequent increase is slow to reserve a large amount of grain.

The main purpose of the caravan was also to collect food.

Ningzhou's field cultivation is the main project, and the good harvest is increasing every year, because in addition to breeding, it is engaged in planting.

Ningzhou's soldiers and horses are also engaged in land reclamation most of the time, and it can be said that Ningzhou is the main grain supply base in northern Liaoning.

Caravans used to transport grain in a rigid demand.

When Youzhou was busy with the autumn harvest, the various state capitals of Sui were also busy.

Li Shimin of Penglai didn't want to listen to his father's opinion and stopped trading with Youzhou, Li De seemed to be very talkative, but in fact it would not be so easy to solve this matter.

Li Shimin's reason for opposing it is very simple: the organic fertilizer used next spring will need to be purchased from Youzhou, and if people do not sell their fields, the harvest will be reduced a lot.

Their soldiers and horses are counting on these harvests.

In particular, a big operation will be carried out in the coming year, not only to continue to grow grain, but also to buy a large amount of grain from Youzhou before that.

Originally, Youzhou was reluctant to sell grain, but this offended people, and the next thing was not easy to do.

Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan was a compromise with the family, but this decision was really a pitfall.

Li Yuan also knew, but he couldn't refuse the conditions offered by the family, money, food, and other materials were available to the family.

Li Shimin's vision is long-term, but after all, he can't resist the temptation of power.

As a last resort, Li Shimin is unwilling to be an enemy of Li De, but no matter how he thinks about it, he will definitely be an enemy in the future. Huaxia Library

In the autumn harvest season, a few families are happy and a few are sad, but the people of Youzhou do not have too many worries, and the grain they can distribute now can already be sold on the market.

Three years have come and they will get higher benefits.

Merchants also formally intervened in the competition for grain harvesting, and with the current output, no grain merchant could monopolize it.

The vanguard had enough to harvest from their reserves, so they were not afraid of the intervention of the merchants, and as long as they did not violate the law of price gouging and malicious hoarding, no one would care.

After the people took all the grain home, their hearts were very steady, and the grain merchants unanimously offered a similar price for purchase after discussion.

So the merchants who collected the grain were divided into trades, because there was too much grain, and the work of collecting grain was stopped by many horse caravans, which was equivalent to earning chariot and horse fees from the grain merchants.

Grain merchants only need to sit at home and wait for someone to come to the door, saving a lot of trouble, the first to do this business is not someone else, it is Youzhou's express logistics.

Later, all the merchants' caravans followed suit, and later some small caravans negotiated several grain merchants to collect grain for them.

After the autumn harvest, the people have accumulated some money in their hands, and in winter they buy thick clothes, coal, and New Year's meat.

The market will usher in some peaks after the onset of winter, especially the demand for pork is increasing every year.

The aquaculture industry in Youzhou is expanding every year, and the sales of fish in winter are particularly good, especially the idle fish made by the salted fish workshop.

Fine salt is no longer a rare thing in Youzhou, and the price is still expensive, but the people of Youzhou can afford to eat it.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are in sufficient supply in Youzhou.

Vinegar cloth is basically not used in Youzhou, all of them are fresh rice vinegar, you need to go directly to make some, and the soy sauce made of soybeans is always the best.

Many people only use soy sauce to make food, salt is saved, and only the seasoning of the restaurant restaurant is the same.

Many new people in Youzhou are envious when they see the lifestyle of the people in Youzhou, and they will sigh after they receive their first month's salary, and they can also live a happy life.

Imperceptibly, the life with a material foundation has achieved the lifestyle of Youzhou.

To say that the people from outside came through the propaganda of the merchants, it is not all of them, and the most effective way is through the propaganda among relatives.

As long as you tell your relatives about his good life in Youzhou, I believe that no one is unmoved.

Economy, culture, system, as long as you don't be a wicked person or a bad person in Youzhou, you can live a good life with hard work, and if you seize the opportunity, you are likely to struggle for a few decades.

In fact, the loss of the merchants not to trade with the various state capitals of the Sui State was not great, because their main market was always to satisfy the sixteen states of Youji.

The purpose of going to the state capitals to trade is to make more money, because the sales price will be higher, and the business in other state capitals is mainly to satisfy those who have spare money.

Where is the comprehensive consumption in Youzhou, products like toilet paper are the main products consumed by the people in Youzhou, and there are not many people who can afford to bring them to other state capitals.

Therefore, the collective boycott of the caravan by the people of the family did not have much impact on the merchants, on the contrary, there were many things that the nobles needed to be purchased by the caravan.

Now that I am not in trade, if I want to buy goods in Youzhou, I can only buy them myself, but unfortunately these families have really made a bloody investment.

Self-organized caravans could not go to Youzhou to buy goods privately, although it caused a lot of dissatisfaction, but in this period it would give face to the family.

Of course, if it really affects life, it really doesn't matter if you lose face.
