Chapter 842: Wagang Builds a City
With the help of Youzhou, the construction of a brick kiln yard and a cement workshop directly began to be built in Wagang.
Li Mi was too eager to say that the emperor was too eager and knew the danger outside, so he decided to build a city in Wagang, and used the last tens of thousands of soldiers as engineering teams.
With the support of Youzhou, a large number of materials were transported to meet the construction needs.
During this period, Youzhou got a large amount of iron ore.
"Have you heard, Wagangzhai is recruiting workers, there are two cents a day, Li Erniu from the next village came back the day before yesterday and asked me to follow me, do you care if you go for two meals?"
"Wagangzhai, if you dare to go, aren't you afraid that they will catch you and go up the mountain to be a bandit?"
"How is it possible, Li Erniu said that Wagang needs a lot of manpower to build a city, how can I have time to go out to fight, anyway, I will go tomorrow."
"Wagang is going to build a city, you heard it right."
Everyone who heard the news was shocked, and this was not the first time.
The matter of the construction of the city in Wagang cannot be concealed at all, especially since Youzhou has provided a large amount of materials for this, and people outside are rumoring that Youzhou wants to support the Wagang forces.
The grapevine says everything.
The anti-kings were all surprised when they got the news, and they all wanted to know what Li Mi was doing?
They will think that this is Li Mi trying to do things, and they need to send more people to find out.
For the Wagang anti-kings who said that they would send troops, they all began to be afraid.
Especially in the southern region, Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian.
They have gathered Wagang through spies and may want to attack them.
According to Zhang Zhongjian's analysis, it is related to the business agreement in Youzhou, because Tang Bi has not signed a cooperation agreement.
And Wagang now has a very close relationship with Youzhou, and it is not difficult to judge through this that it makes sense if Wagang does something to the forces that have not signed the agreement.
Regardless of what Wagang wants, Xiao Mi and Zhang Zhongjian have decided to sign a cooperation agreement as soon as possible, and Li Mi wants to establish a foundation in Wagang, and they prefer to be able to develop quickly.
The benefits of the rubber plantation are more profitable than they imagined, and the benefits will be more if they sign a cooperation agreement.
To have money is to have strength, this is what Zhang Zhongjian is convinced of.
Li Mi is now fearless, and even he wants to put the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers and horses into the construction, and he is not afraid that someone will send troops to attack him at this time.
Because of the relationship between Youzhou, if there is really something that is not open-minded, the vanguard will inevitably take action.
Li Mi has this self-confidence, he knows very well that what Youzhou cares about is iron ore, at least if it does not offend the interests of Youzhou, then the world can be peaceful.
As for the heart of hegemony, he is not ready to take it out before the construction of Wagang City is completed.
Penglai City guarded the mansion, and Li Shimin had already gotten the news of Wagang, especially their iron ore deal with Youzhou.
"Mowgli, is there any news from my father?" Li Shimin asked.
Today's Li Shimin was named the general of Penglai by Li Yuan, presiding over everything in Penglai, and after getting the news of the construction of Wagang, he sent a letter to Luoyang.
At this time, Li Yuan was busy using various means to develop Luoyang, and took the opportunity to operate, and all forces were busy to occupy Luoyang as soon as possible.
"No news has been delivered yet." The eldest grandson Wuji replied. Single
The news that Youzhou had received a large amount of iron ore made them feel pressured.
What can iron do, that is the basis of weapons and armor, and having enough iron tools is equivalent to having more soldiers and horses.
Li Shimin found out at this time why they didn't follow suit, you must know that if the cottages where they are stationed can dig up the iron ore, it is their trade, it is nothing more than giving discounts, and they will still make money in the end.
They can't count on the forces that have commercial cooperation with Youzhou, and there are still those who have not signed cooperation, and it can be said that there are more forces that have not signed cooperation.
"Mowgli, let's trade with the forces to sell the armor and pay with ore, do you see if this method is feasible?" Li Shimin asked.
The eldest grandson Wuji is now in charge of Penglai's economy, and the blacksmith shop and other workshops are within his work authority, and most of the workshops in Penglai are invested by the eldest grandson's family, and his statement is very weighty.
If you want to make a profit, Li Shimin needs to consult the eldest grandson Wuji first.
There is no way, the development speed of the Li family is too fast, and in order to develop, they must accept the support of the wealthy family.
So much so that the current relationship of interest is involved.
Li Shimin knew that it would not be a way to go on like this, but Penglai and even the city in charge of the Li family were all structured like this.
When he was serving as a city guard in Youzhou, he never had to worry about these things.
Now it seems that the more it develops, the more it will be constrained by various related interests, even if it is beneficial to Penglai City, it may not be able to develop.
Just like now, Li Shimin, who is in charge of Penglaicheng as a general, has to get the support of the eldest grandson Wuji at a critical time.
Fortunately, the people around Li Shimin support him, even if some things are embarrassing, but for the sake of the ultimate benefit, many people choose to support him.
They know that only by letting Li Shimin develop can they get more benefits, and they are all very realistic.
"Reserve iron ore is the reserve base, and we will naturally support it."
With the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, things will be easy to do, even if you really give up more benefits.
Anyway, these things will be rewarded in the future, and they all know that it is important to do the right thing.
"Mowgli, this matter will be left to you to handle and contact all parties to purchase iron ore."
In exchange for iron ore from Penglai, Li Shimin knew that it was inferior to Youzhou in most materials, but what they could do was to make profits.
Fighting a price war is a tough tactic at all times.
Li De soon got the news of Penglai, and Li Shimin collected iron ore again, which made him a little incomprehensible.
But he is clear about the strategy of the price war, which is just that the current situation in Youzhou is not necessary to compete with Penglai.
Li Shimin is competing with Penglai's business by doing this, do they really have so many materials?
According to the degree of preferential purchase of iron ore in Penglai, he wants to exchange iron ore for a large number of materials, which is really a model of small profits and quick turnover.
Li De felt that he was worthy of Li Shimin, which was outrageous to be ruthless to himself.
After Li Mi learned the news, he had the same idea as Li De, but Penglai did not have the things they purchased from Youzhou, which led to their iron ore really having to pay for Youzhou.
After the news of the anti-kings was confirmed, the construction of the city in Wagang was a little exciting for them, and after studying Li Mi's intentions, they immediately understood that this was to use Wagang as the foundation to link up with several surrounding cities and counties that they occupied.
In this way, the people of the city and county will naturally become vassals of Wagang City, and if they connect the areas into pieces, they will be able to gain great power.
