Li De has never forgotten to develop shipping, build large shipyards, and dominate the seas.

Youzhou is really not afraid of drought, because Youzhou is already cultivating high-yield potatoes, and the exploration team sent by the exploration team after a few years has been to Europe.

Although they didn't go as far as the expedition team had walked, the seeds they brought back had already yielded some yield after being cultivated.

The seeds have been cultivated for several years.

For example, potatoes are one of the things that Li De pays the most attention to, easy to grow, high yield, easy to preserve, and with chemical fertilizer planting, the yield has increased several times.

In a few years, the yield of potatoes has been very impressive, but it has not been sold and has been kept for seed.

The planting area of thousands of catties of crops is huge, and a small number of them have begun to supply the vegetable market in Youzhou.

Not only potatoes, but also cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables were brought back from Europe.

To be honest, there are not too many types of vegetables in Europe, but many of the mainstream vegetable categories in later generations are not currently available.

Now you don't have to worry, all kinds of vegetables are specially cultivated.

There are many projects in Youzhou that are not public, but what has been put on the market will definitely be noticed, and the businessmen are shrewd and most of the vegetable cultivation will be handed over to them.

Planting vegetables to promote Li De is hoping to make the people of the world able to eat, the number of Nai seeds is limited, and the current situation can only be handed over to the businessmen partially.

It's even better to have them work together.

The development of Youzhou is not only about engineering and construction, but also about planting cash crops.

Just like after the occupation of Penglai, the Chamber of Commerce has begun to prepare for the cotton planting project in the Yangtze River basin.

Cotton has long been planted in the planting projects carried out in the south, and not only food, but also rubber plantations and vegetable cultivation are no less.

In addition to this, a large number of medicinal herbs are also cultivated.

While developing business, Youzhou also attaches great importance to other things, especially medicine, which are particularly important to the city guard.

The merchants learned that the value of the medicinal herbs they planted was very great, and the finished wood they harvested could be sold to the castle guard.

In order to facilitate the acquisition, many businessmen who opened pharmacies began to make unified acquisitions, purchased at a low price and then transferred to the Youzhou City Guard.

They earned some cost price, and after arriving in Youzhou, the price would be higher after further processing through the medicinal herb workshop.

If the value is even more different after the finished drug is made.

The medical school in Youzhou has been researching the production of medicinal materials, although it is mainly based on traditional Chinese medicine, and after the application of distillation and refining technology, many pills are made.

The daily supply is all standing medicines, and there is a high cure rate in Youzhou wind and cold, as long as it is not a special situation, it can be improved in a few days.

Faster than decoction.

A lot of painkiller plasters have also been developed, and after testing, they have achieved remarkable results.

In addition, all the decoctions that used to treat various ailments are finely ground to make it easier for people to absorb.

Through the statistics of big data, the life expectancy of the people in Youzhou has increased on average after several years.

It can be seen from the living conditions and appearance of the people that the bodies of the common people are very strong.

This is all thanks to the meat provided by the farms, especially the pig farms, and the people are able to eat the meat every few days.

If it weren't for the supply of farms, it would not be able to meet the needs of millions of people, and I thought that the purchasing power of the people of Youzhou would be able to be used every day.

At a time when the forces of the world and the people are in the category of drought, the people living in the Youzhou forces do not have the time to spare.

They are all people who have jobs, they work every day until the month to pay money, as long as they use the money, they will not run out of food, they will not go hungry.

Where like other state capitals are prone to collapse in the event of a natural disaster, it is not possible to have a single agricultural model.

Youzhou's development in this regard is relatively balanced.

In agriculture, they are fully prepared, for example, a large number of wells can be used to irrigate the land when there is a need.

And this kind of thing can't just be handled by the people, just like the city guard in Youzhou will use steam equipment to dig deep wells during drought and pump out clean water for irrigation.

Under the careful arrangement of the castle guard, there will not be too much shortage of water.

What's more, there is also a Li De who made a suggestion that the main way to prevent drought is to dig reservoirs next to the cultivated land.

It is not very useful for anything other than watering the fields.

After all, "stagnant water" cannot be raised, and those who can raise fish also need to be injected with well water and need to be replaced regularly.

At present, it is already very good for the people to be busy farming, where do they have the heart to raise fish.

Everything is normal in Youzhou, but many forces are not good, especially when Li Yuan is unable to provide food for some small forces in time.

Youzhou's strength is reflected at this time, since Wagang proposed to purchase a large amount of grain, Li De immediately agreed, but it was still supplied in batches.

They will definitely not be given the need for a large amount of reserves, so as to prevent anyone from taking advantage of these grains and reselling them.

The people may not be able to afford it, but the rich people don't care, so there will definitely be people who want to take advantage of this opportunity.

There is no need to doubt that you can take risks in order to exceed several times the profit.

After meeting the needs of Wagang, Li Mi couldn't say anything, and the forces cooperating with Youzhou were also treated like this, even if they offered to buy more, they could only transport them in batches.

This is the rule set by Youzhou.

It is precisely because of the food provided by Youzhou that the people in many forces will not be displaced.

At this time, the advantages of those who mainly developed business in the forces at this time were reflected, such as the two brothers Han Yong, the king of Shangliang and Han Meng, the king of Xialiang.

Although they didn't have much trouble for food, they also had a demand for food, and the projects they cooperated with Youzhou in front of them were all projects such as planting medicinal materials, purchasing mountain goods, and dry goods.

They are a small amount of forces that allow Li De to transport more grain, which is really determined by the living environment they are currently in.

It is really difficult to get them to resell grain, and it is absolutely impossible for them to sell it if they have reserves.

Not conjecture, but objectively not allowing them to sell the grain.

When they pay with things like wood, you can know what their situation is.

Their current habitat is still in the mountains, and the living environment is mainly wooden houses, compared to the bandits, they all live in the cottages, and the larger cottages have formed a walled city.

It was the trade that made their lives start to improve after nearly a year.

The place where they are located is relatively far away from Youzhou, so it is not advisable to ship them in batches, which will increase the cost.

Just to transport more food, when you come back, you can bring more goods back.
