Li De has not looked back since he left the gate of Chang'an, he knows that Pei Qingxuan and Li Xiuning will be fine, and besides, hundreds of Pei family's heavily armored soldiers who are in charge of guarding the Li family's salt mine have stopped their work and guarded Longqingfang.

Half a month after Chang'an arrived in Youzhou, everything was as usual in Youzhou City.

Yang Yu'er sent the newly recruited soldiers back to Youzhou City without rushing to train, first asked them to fix the houses in the city, and after so many days of tidying up, they settled down.

Li De's return gave them a backbone.

On the same day, Luo Yi, the defender of Youzhou, found Li De and said that he wanted to return to Jizhou with his troops and horses, but he was stopped by Li De with the defense of Youzhou City.

"Governor Li, can you explain what you mean?" Luo Yi asked.

"You see, the defense of Youzhou has always been presided over by General Luo, and you know the most about defending the city, so if you leave, our vanguard needs to train new soldiers, and you really can't get out of the way, please ask General Luo to stay and join me and others for a hellish invasion, so don't shirk."

Li De spent a day moving, emotion, and reason, and finally let Luo Yi stay temporarily.

"But Governor Li, let me stay in charge of the defense, what about the two thousand soldiers and horses sent to the city by the vanguard, you won't give an explanation?" Luo Yi asked.

The vanguard and Luo Yi's generals defend the city together, and the number of people is not as big as anyone else, but they don't trust it, and if you don't trust it, you can let us leave, but you won't let you go.

"They're just to help you, don't worry, just get used to it." Li De reassured.

What is a good habit, this is clearly to use their forces to strengthen the defense of Youzhou, which is understandable because Luo Yi has the responsibility of defending the city.

But now, there is a sense of being subject to the vanguard control, how can he, a general defending the city, be willing to be subject to a governor who is not even a general.

Even if the vanguard is very strong in combat, he is a capable person who believes in himself, and he will never be able to let him be someone else's subordinate.

Leaving from the Governor's Mansion, a person walked along the street and saw another restaurant binding a plaque, with the big characters "Youjia Restaurant" written on it.

Luo Yi became interested, so he went over and asked curiously: "Little brother, the name of your restaurant is really unique. ”

"Guest officer, you are not from Chang'an, and you have never been to Chang'an, there is a restaurant opened by Li Dudu, and this is the second branch in Youzhou City, tell you that there are dishes made by a restaurant, and even the Shangshi Bureau of the Imperial City has sent people to learn it."

"Oh, doesn't that mean that there is a restaurant where you can eat a royal banquet?" Luo Yi asked curiously.

"Oh, this guest officer is joking, there is a restaurant that doesn't dare to say that, but the dishes made are very novel, the taste is not to say that you haven't eaten, three days after the opening of a six-fold discount activity, the guest officer must come to cheer."

Luo Yi is just curious.

The depressed mood vanished with the gradual recovery of the popularity of Youzhou City.

Li De really doesn't have time now, his training plan is already being worked out intensely, and the newly recruited soldiers can't follow the method of training personal guards.

They are all people who have no foundation at all, which is equivalent to zero foundation.

"Running, stretching, exercising the body, if you want to be strong, you have to have a physique, so you have to have enough nutrition, so that they can learn to routinely prohibit and have a firm belief."

Li De began to ponder in the study of the Governor's Mansion, and the strength of Shunlian was different, anyway, the three-week hell week must be experienced by the soldiers.

Then formulate a recipe according to the training intensity, and the meals are all big fish and meat, and you also need to calculate the salary.

"Xiuning?" Li De subconsciously shouted.

"Boss, I'm Lolo."

"Oh, I forgot, what are the recent accounts and whether they can support my expenses for intensive training." Li De asked.

Li Xiuning didn't come back, and now he can only use Luo Luo to manage the accounts.

Zhang Chuchen, Xiao Mei and others were arriving in Jiangling at this time.

The lieutenants all have their own duties, and they will carry out the training, but they are not involved in making plans now, not because they don't want to, but because they all have their own methods.

Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the newly recruited soldiers to lay a good foundation, and then arrange which guards to train according to the specific results.

With so many more people in the vanguard, the current situation is that it is impossible to support 30,000 cavalry, and what is lacking is war horses, so at the time of the plan, only 5,000 people will become cavalry.

The remaining 25,000 men will be divided into shields, spearmen, swordsmen, archers and other arms.

"Boss, at present, there is less than 200,000 yuan left in the accounts of the pioneers, and the cement order is already being sent to Jiangling, and it will take at least a month and a half to recover the capital." Lolo said.

"Well, the caravan's affairs are urgent, go and help me call the lieutenants to come over for a [kiss fo] meeting."

Luo Luo quickly sent someone to pass the word.

The captains arrived soon, they have not been idle recently, and they have been training their own guards by themselves, what they need is elite soldiers, so they can't stop training every day.

And their role models are warriors such as Tiger Ben and Leopard Riders, who can be stronger than the enemy whether they charge into battle or pursue and intercept.

If the strength is not enough, exercise the strength, and if the endurance is not enough, run long distances every day, together with the newly recruited soldiers, get up every morning and run outside the city of Youzhou, the mighty and mighty, and the guards are not convinced, so every morning the competition will happen every day.

Even the recruits had to follow, and they were really ruthless to these people in their hearts.

Li De did not stop it, but instead opened a reward and punishment mechanism, and the top three teams that ran up to the standard every day could let the most backward guards help wash clothes for three days in a row.

The number of wins and losses can be accumulated and offset by each other, so the workouts are more intense.

There is a restaurant that opened smoothly, and there are not many people in Youzhou City, but there are a lot of people who join in the fun.

The express station was also established in Youzhou City, and the caravan had assembled thirty horse-drawn carriages to transport cement back and forth, and according to Li De's false words, the cement business would save the economy in Youzhou City.

As a result, there are more opportunities to hire workers, and there are naturally more people, and the newly recruited baggage soldiers have another identity, the vanguard construction engineering regiment.

To put it simply, they are responsible for building, building, and organizing, in short, they are responsible for working according to Li De's intentions, building houses, repairing bridges and paving roads.

All the cement produced and stored is being taken out to build roads in Youzhou City, not cement roads but cement stone structures, and the road surface is as hard as the city wall.

He wanted to ensure that the freight carriage would not be affected by the road, and the dilapidated city wall should be repaired, all of which were within Li De's plan.

Li De knew very well that it was not enough to increase his strength, and he also needed to have enough people to support him.
