Chapter 690: Penglai Buys a Ship

The fundamental reason for the final defeat was that there was no support, it was difficult to support the enemy, and the enemy besieged the city with several times the number of people, and even if the siege of the city was not opened, they could not listen to it in the end.

Even if they had great endurance, the people in the city had to eat and live, and it was not uncommon for soldiers to riot against the city walls.

Where does Emperor Yang of Sui have the kung fu to control those people, now he guarantees that Chang'an Luoyang will not be lost, and the barbarians in the north will not come to make trouble, and he will be satisfied.

Li De presided over some orders and payments into the warehouse today, and the situation outside was very clear.

For Youzhou, the troubled times have made their economy develop rapidly, and they were short of money in the first two months, but now the payment of the order is in place, and they can rest assured.

Li Shimin was particularly busy, there was a large amount of idle land in northern Liaoning, which had been planned since the influx of population, and now the first batch of people who were ready to go to reclamation had already adapted to life in the military city.

The number of soldiers in the city increased by 100,000 at once, and 50,000 of them had to migrate to Ningzhou, and the more north Liaobei went, the better the treatment given.

The corresponding construction of the state capital in Ningzhou is still worse than that of Youzhou, but the construction has not been stopped now.

The plan of the castle guard was to gradually move the population of the sixteen states of Youji to the north, where there was a large amount of land, backed by mountains and forests, rich in products, and urban construction was developed by others.

In order to be able to better handle things, this time Li Shimin will personally lead the officials of the city guard government to go over together, and settle the people who have passed together and have the responsibility of supervision by the way.

Today, Li De personally sent them away outside Youzhou City, and it is expected that he will not return until the spring planting in the second year and the autumn harvest.

Li De continues to hope for Li Shimin.

The people left in a big way, and the affairs of the Youzhou City Lord's Mansion were now all back to him.

"Li Ying, take out the money that has been credited today, put it into the workshop and start R&D and production."

Li Ying was still immersed in the mood of farewell, and when he heard that he would have to spend money again, Ma Shan came back to his senses.

"Big brother, can you calm down?"

Li De didn't need to explain to Li Yang at all, so he built several new workshops in the nearest state capitals to Youzhou.

In particular, the textile mills have expanded again, and now the materials processed are mainly wool, silk and linen, as well as some of the cotton hoarded by merchants, they have already made profits this year, and next year's cotton reserves will be more.

Many big merchants have signed cotton supply agreements, and the city lord's mansion sends them money, and they will work hard to grow cotton for profit.

It is all planted by big landlords secretly, after all, it is necessary to pay grain every year, and if you do not plant food, you need to make up for it yourself.

But compared to the profits from grain, the big merchants were willing to take risks.

Expand the development of the workshop, make yarn cloth, and make more profits after making ready-to-wear, but now all the cloth produced by the workshop in Youzhou is distributed by merchants to various state capitals.

It can be said that the Youzhou civilian product workshop is the most profitable textile factory.

"Governor, come to Hu'er and send someone to talk about cooperation."

"Call someone in."

Li De now sits in the city guard mansion every day to handle official business, and he now also experiences Li Shimin's daily workload.

The work inside and outside the city was all decided by him, and Li Dedu delegated some small powers to the corresponding person in charge after a few days of management experience.

The final result is reviewed by him, even though he has to sign multiple names every day.

"The Metropolitan Governor, below is Penglai City Guard Xu Yuanlang, who was ordered by General Penglai to come to discuss the ship business." The person who came said directly to the point.

Li De first took a large number of photos of this person named Xu Yuanlang, and he could see at a glance that he was somewhat similar to Lai Hu'er's temperament in terms of age and temperament.

I have long heard that Laihu'er is good at water warfare, and everyone under him is like this, and it is a big deal to talk about the business of boats.

"Tell the story, what do you need?" Li De asked.

"That's the case, Penglai needs big ships now, if there are ready-made best, General Lai Hu'er means that you can buy ten big ships first, if Youzhou can build ships, then ten big ships are being booked, and if you can do it, we also want to buy medium-sized fast ships."

Li De calculated, twenty big ships, it was really a big deal, he thought that there were really so many ships that were harvested last time, but if they were all sold to their Youzhou port, there would be no ships.

But there was no reason to refuse such a big business, and after careful consideration, it turned out that there were a few ships that could really be sold.

"Okay, this list is next for our Youzhou shipyard, and now Youzhou Port can sell five big ships, and the hulls are a little old and the price is easy to say."

Li De's goal is those new ships, the price of new ships and old ships is not so much different, or new ships make more money.

"The rules of Youzhou are that you need to pay in advance, and you have to pay a deposit first for ship production, and it takes three years for ten new ships to be delivered, do you think this is good?"

"No problem, if it was an old ship we would be more willing to buy it." Xu Yuanlang said.

Li De knew that Penglai was not really that rich.

With an order from the dockyard, it can provide more jobs and drive the development of the dockyard, so why not.

"Haha, then it just so happens that there are some ships in Youzhou Water Port that have been sold recently, why don't you go and see it with your own eyes to negotiate the price."

Then Li De and his people rushed to Youzhou Water Port, which was not close.

Youzhou water port was built after the pioneer set up sailors, and the port is wide and now docks large and small ships.

Xu Yuanlang knew very well that these ships were given to Youzhou for nothing, but at that time, they had to deal with Yang Xuangan and pirates.

Let the vanguard help these as a reward.

Now they still have to spend money to buy it back, no matter how they count it, they will lose money, but they can't do it without ships, because the area they are stationed in is really not protected by ships.

The vanguard had sailors, but some people had already withdrawn people when they came to visit, and Li De had an understanding of the situation of sailors when they came to the port.

Now all the old ships are docked here, and the new ships are all zoned.

"The ships are all here, you can choose at will, ask someone to record them, and as long as the money arrives, the ship can sail away at any time."

Xu Yuanlang said in his heart that you are really generous, even if he knows that the other party has taken a big advantage, he has no choice.

In fact, Lai Hu'er was quite angry, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yang of Sui was stationed in Penglai at that time, there might not be these things.

If there is no if, they must give the money.

Xu Yuanlang is very familiar with several big ships, and there are a few ships that were originally good for their Penglai, but now they don't mean to say it.

Seeing that most of the old ships had been refurbished after the battle, they didn't lose much.
