Li De never emphasized, he knew that sometimes it was not that he was too strong, it was all his peers, if Li Yuan didn't have this belly, even if he didn't do anything, those forces would have a dislike with him sooner or later.

Li Mi finally failed to get along, which made Shan Xiong Xinbai happy, and he also deliberately went to find Xu Maogong at this time.

I didn't see Xu Maogong at the meeting, and Li Mi's explanation was that Xu Maogong was busy with official business and had no time.

Shan Xiongxin also doubted it at first, but seeing is believing, Xu Maogong's work is really piled up.

There are more and more work, which makes him feel a pain in his brain when he sees it.

Xu Maogong didn't say anything, and it was not strange that Li Mi came to him, because Xu Maogong had been doing the work of a strategist since Erxianzhuang.

He does everything that requires a brainstorm.

"There may be no fighting for a long time." Li Midao.

"The 30,000 elites have the relationship of Youzhou mercenaries, and pacifying those small forces will not only be able to obtain a lot of loot, but also benefit from Youzhou, why stop." Shan Xiongxin said.

Xu Maogong knew that Shan Xiongxin was because of the strength of Wagang's elite, but there was no suitable opponent they could choose.

If you do it, you may destroy your foundation.

"Brother Shan, all you have to do now is to wait and prepare for the battle in the future."

Xu Maogong has clearly told Shan Xiongxin that there may not be a war in the future, but he needs to prepare for war.

After Shan Xiongxin left Xu Maogong's mansion, although he didn't know the situation, he just followed Xu Maogong's words directly.

Sure enough, Li Mi didn't mention the expedition after that.

During the busy farming season, it's all about growing food, where is there time to waste.

However, the spring rain did not come, the people everywhere panicked, the situation in the south is very good, Situ En arrived in the south to protect the rubber plantation at the same time began to purchase land to grow grain according to Youzhou's plan.

Because he didn't know how far the drought would go, Li De used all his strength to prevent it.

The spring rains were delayed, and the situation was worse than expected.

Li Shimin of Penglai City has begun to buy grain from the south, and the big forces are all acting, but this kind of thing has little impact on the small forces.

Their current situation is no different from that of the mountain bandits, they are not short of food, because they have too many soldiers and horses under their command and they don't realize it, and when they can't grab so much food, the result can be imagined.

Of course, it depends on whether Li Yuan can provide them with so much food.

However, this drought has had a great impact on several major forces, and it is the time for a real competition.

The farming of the Youzhou forces has been affected, but fortunately, there is a large amount of groundwater to barely support it, and it is expected that the production will be reduced today.

The losses cannot be counted at this time, and will need to wait until the food grows.

The situation is even worse than in other state capitals in Youzhou, where the people will use well water for irrigation, and can only barely support it.

The reduction in production is certain, but it is the people who suffer.

Food prices have already begun to rise in the middle of the year.

In order to raise troops, the forces that cooperated with Youzhou issued applications for purchasing grain, and Youzhou did not refuse to use iron ore and real gold.

They were all supplied in batches, and they didn't meet demand all at once.

He wants to prevent the forces that have enough grain from selling the grain in Youzhou at a high price, so that Li Decai will not make wedding dresses for others.

The news of the sale of grain in Youzhou has already spread. Odd book e-book

Li Yuan of Luoyang had to provide limited support to the forces he had wooed, but in the end, many of the forces that were friendly with him also went to Youzhou to buy grain.

Li De came here and did not refuse, but the price of grain purchased by the forces that did not sign the cooperation agreement was much more expensive.

Not only can they not take advantage of the cheap, but they also have to pay a lot of wealth, and having food can still allow them to maintain the status quo.

The grain provided by Li Yuan was not only more expensive, but it could not satisfy them at all in terms of quantity, so in order to prevent their forces from collapsing because of the grain, they could only purchase enough grain.

Most of the money was made by Youzhou.

The drought situation in Youzhou is relatively serious, but with early prevention, the effect is very good.

Dozens of steam-powered pumps use groundwater for irrigation, which is much more effective than manual irrigation.

There is a certain reduction in the output, and after the current grain growth situation, the output may be reduced to 70 percent of the previous level.

However, this 70% is several times the yield of other state capitals, because a large part of the field production does not use Youzhou's chemical fertilizers.

This is the root cause.

Li De attaches great importance to agriculture, don't be optimistic about the large area of reclamation, in fact, people who are proficient in agriculture have long been gathered in Youzhou.

Their job is to conduct grain experiments, and the ultimate goal of the various experimental fields is to breed high-yield grain.

After a few years, it is effective.

Not only agriculture, but also in the breeding industry has made great progress, such as the cultivation of excellent varieties of pigs, after a few years of breeding varieties are getting better and better.

The economic value is getting higher and higher.

I thought that Youzhou would not survive this drought, but it disappointed many people who were worried about it.

The price of grain in Youzhou is still stable, and not even a penny has risen, but the price of grain sold to foreign countries has increased a lot, and on the whole, it is within the range that the people can afford.

Taking advantage of this incident, the newspapers in Youzhou began to make a big fuss, encouraging people to settle down in Youzhou, allocate real estate on hundreds of acres of fertile land, and provide jobs and other benefits if they are willing to settle down.

Through publicity, the people affected by the drought began to flee to Youzhou, and the middle of the year was the most serious thing of the famine, and many people did not care about their own fields.

They know that even if they continue to maintain themselves, they will not be able to meet their future lives, and they will not have much left after deducting taxes.

Even if they can't get the food delivered, they have to lose money, and if they don't have money, it's a sin, and it won't end well.

Now that Youzhou has given a way to live, they all want to grasp it.

A large number of people migrated to Youzhou, which had an impact on various state capitals.

Li Yuan didn't want to see such a thing happen, he knew that the more people there were, the stronger the power of Youzhou, how could this kind of thing happen.

Many forces bought food in Youzhou, and the result was that Li Yuan's plan to use extreme methods to fight against Youzhou could not be realized.

Li Yuan had to admire Li De's not only did not make an enemy, but also took advantage of this drought to recruit a large number of people.

What kind of person Li Yuan is, if he pays attention to Youzhou, then he is eyeing Chang'an.

Just when all the forces were concerned about the drought, the Li family sent troops from Luoyang to take Chang'an.

The king of the backers has always been prepared, but the situation in Chang'an is very bad due to the drought.

The situation in Chang'an has always been due to the small number of people in the land, and most of the grain as the capital is supplied by Cao Yun and other places.

After all, the king of the backer is still a prince, what he can do is to sit in Chang'an, and once he encounters a drought, this kind of thing needs to be dealt with with the foundation.

In other words, Chang'an is now a symbol, but in fact it is just a lonely city, and Li Yuan seized the best time.
