Chapter 409: Trade Begins

Li De's return did not have any impact on the people in Youzhou City.

Fanfare is not the style of the vanguard, except for the tiger guards at the door of the governor, there are no idle people, Li De and everyone came directly to the combat office.

The governor returned, the captains were attacked by horse bandits, and the people who should have gone back to rest are in such a mood now, they know that the vanguard has not been governed means that the other party is not simple.

"Captain Pei, let's talk about the situation of the horse bandits outside the city first, what happened to Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou?" Li De asked directly.

Pei Qingxuan saw that Li De was very unhappy, so he told the truth about the matter.

"Dou Jiande and Liu Wuzhou were greedy for merit when they attacked the Turkic tribes, and were pursued by the Turkic cavalry, and later received the help of Li Shimin.

"Lost more than 2,000 subordinates and later surrendered to Li Shimin, the two were afraid of contradictions with the Li family, so they took people out of Youzhou City, and wanted to secretly recruit back 2,000 subordinates, but the results were unsatisfactory.

"That's the way it is."

Pei Qingxuan explained the matter, and Li De listened carefully.

"The duty of the vanguard is to guard the border and the people, since they have become horse bandits, they can't ignore it, not to mention that they also take the initiative to attack, all the captains, what should I do if I am the vanguard?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The lieutenants were excited, and each wanted to immediately lead people to find the horse bandits and eradicate them.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Li De ordered to go down, and directly be a superintendent of the hand, and the people under his command who like to go can go, all by their ability.

"How has Youzhou City developed in the past few months?" Li De asked.

"The kiln workshop has begun to produce, and there is a lot of hoarding of white ash and new cement, and businessmen from all over the world are very interested in this, and at present, Captain Li Xiuning is in charge of negotiating with businessmen, and has made great progress, and the wealthy merchants of Gangneung have ordered a large amount of cement and are preparing for the transportation of caravans."

Pei Qingxuan explained that in fact, there is really not much change in Youzhou City, if you want to say that the change is that there are more people employed, and the number of people in the city is increasing every day.

The city is gradually regaining some life.

Li De and the lieutenants learned about the current situation of Youzhou City before leaving.

"Qing Xuan, I really miss you after not seeing you for a few months, come to my husband's side."

Li De was not honest when he saw that everyone was leaving, how could Pei Qingxuan respond with a thin face, just when she was struggling with whether to agree, suddenly the third person in the office snorted.

"Out of the dust, you're here, I haven't seen you for so long, you look much prettier." Li De really didn't want the scene to be embarrassing, so he said it casually.

As soon as the words came out, he regretted it.

"Do you think I wasn't pretty before?"

Li De knew it would be like this.

"It was and still is beautiful."

"It's pretty much the same, don't mess around in broad daylight, my husband and I will go to Xiuning, she has something to tell you about business."

"Oh, good!"

He wished he had an excuse to change the subject.

"Qing Xuan, I'll get busy first."

The two of them walked together, and suddenly Zhang Chuchen leaned towards Li De and whispered in his ear: "I miss you, do you miss me?" ”

Li De was funny in his heart, if he answered well, he would send a sub-question, and if he didn't answer well, he would send a proposition.

Without hesitation, I proved it with my actions right away.

Zhang Chuchen wanted to exclaim, but she couldn't do it at all, so she immediately gave up resisting and immediately became red-faced.

"In broad daylight, it's not good for people to see." Zhang Chuchen was shy and muttered softly.

"The back house of the Governor's Mansion, who dares to disturb the Governor of the Metropolitan and his own lady......"

"Don't say it, I'm ashamed, Xiuning is still waiting."

Even if Zhang Chuchen is a heroine among women, he is used to seeing the world, but he can really change to himself, and he really doesn't see how good his performance is.

Li De looked at Zhang Chuchen who ran away, and the family was still so shy.

When I came to the backyard, I saw Li Xiuning looking at the accounts, and I didn't have time to deal with him, so I knew how busy their affairs were during this time.

"It's okay to come back safely, I'm worried about you." Li Xiuning said.

Although Li Xiuning is still looking at the account book, she can understand her heartfelt thoughts from her tone and mentality.

"You should also pay attention, if you stay up late again, the oil lamp has not been extinguished."

Li De is a person who is good at observing details, don't look at Li Xiuning, who usually loves talents, I feel that she is a rich woman, and she should spend money to enjoy it, but in fact she is not.

Although he likes to make money, he is really frugal, taking the shampoo business as an example, Li Xiuning left all the wealth he earned before marriage to the Li family.

If someone else wants to leave more property and dowry, Li Xiuning is not such a person, after she entered the Li family, the thrifty family business is getting bigger and bigger, and she also contributes a lot.

Now the logistics accounts of the vanguard are managed by Pei Qingxuan, and now the business affairs are divided, and the matter falls on Li Xiuning's head, and the burden is very heavy.

Li Xiuning is obviously a workaholic, and he really doesn't care about anything when he's busy.

"I'll tell you good news, Ma Sanbao will soon arrive in Youzhou with the caravan, and the cement will be transported to Jiangling through the caravan, do you know how much our first order is worth?"

Li De saw joy on Li Xiuning's face, she could make her who loves money have such an expression, it must be a big order, judging from the value of cement, it is really hard to guess how many goods the other party takes.

"100,000?" Li De tried to ask.

Li Xiuning shook his head, directly stretched out two fingers and said: "200,000 guan, the lords of Jiangling built a mansion, and our profits are very considerable." ”

"Gangneung, who bought the cement?" Li De asked curiously, with 200,000 yuan of cement, did you use so much cement to build the mansion, and suddenly asked again: "Have they said they want to buy bricks?" ”

"We recommended bricks, but the other party refused, saying that they had their own green brick kiln." Li Xiuning replied, and immediately continued: "The general Xiao family, I heard that it is a famous local family. ”

"Xiao family, I know, by the way, are you looking for me to say this good news?" Li De said.

"Yes, there is another thing, the farmers sent by my father have been arranged, and the problem is that there are too many fields, not enough farmers, and there is a lack of cattle, let's find the current tenant farmers to calculate, the food needs of the vanguard will not be able to be fulfilled in the coming year, and if there is no war, the soldiers can be allowed to participate in the work, but the premise is that there is no war."

Li Xiuning is now equivalent to the master book of the vanguard, all the finances need her to count, settle, spend, and manage all aspects of things, and the matter of land and property is the top priority, and many times she can't make decisions.
