"Situ En, don't you swim around in the hot water and don't you think it's hot?" Ding Qilin asked curiously.

"I'm happy!" Situ En was still swimming, the wide pool was more than ten meters long, enough for him to swim.

"I mean, you think that the clear water is mixed up by you. You don't think you should take a rest now." Ding Qilin continued.

Situ En still did his own thing and ignored him at all.

"Governor, what are we going to do next?" Shi Huaiyi asked with a look of sackcloth.

"Develop business, let businessmen drive the development of Youzhou City and gather the people again." Li Dedao.

"It's not easy to talk about, what business are we doing?" He Bida asked.

Li De looked at the somewhat turbid pool. The stone seals are made of yellow mud. It is normal that the pool will have a slight turbidity.

But in his opinion it was very abnormal.

"Burn stones." Li Dedao.

Gao Cheng said, "The Governor went crazy again, it was really hard to figure out. It would be better to be a vanguard officer and leave the other things to those who are capable."

"Why do you need to burn stones?" Ding Qilin was interested and smelled.

"I'm stupid, the governor didn't say that he was developing business." Situ En said.

The lieutenants thought that Li De said this just now.

"When you finish taking a shower, inform Luo Yi and his soldiers to come and take a shower." Li De said that and left the pool.

When he was burning lime and making cement, he had already burned it on a small scale secretly. Most of the lime was used in pig farms and the internal buildings of Longqingfang.

Youzhou City is located in a desolate and sparsely populated area. It can be said that it is already a deserted city. If you want to say that it is not as valuable as the surrounding farms, at least there are people in the land, even if the population is small.

It is precisely because of this that it is like white paper that in Li De's opinion, it is suitable for development.

He wanted to build a commercial city and abandon the disadvantages brought by farming. Of course, he also attached great importance to agriculture, but it was located in a dangerous place and guarding fertile land would cost a lot.

After thinking about it, I decided to take the commercial path. At least one advantage is that it can quickly develop Youzhou City and establish the prestige of a pioneer soldier from scratch.

Even if the vanguard troops returned to Chang'an were disbanded, the emperor would still consider the situation in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If it is really a stalker, I really don’t know what inappropriate things the people will do.

The most luxurious building in Youzhou City is the Governor's Mansion, a mansion that borrowed the mansion of wealthy merchants who ran away.

Just after packing up, Li De took his escorts and the lieutenants to live in the Governor's Mansion. The general who had a good house and insisted on hudding with the soldiers was obviously not like him.

At the same time, a vanguard combat office was set up in the Governor's Office, and a confidential lieutenant was set up to gather everyone here to assist Li De in the work.

The confidential lieutenant is the lieutenant of the logistics support guards. They know more about the material reserves of the vanguard soldiers, and they are from the tenth lieutenant, and they are supported by the lieutenant behind them when doing things.

In the Governor's Office, Xiao Mei and Luo Luo became close partners. They were very good at the execution of the intelligence network, and they were watching the confidential lieutenant.

Li De visited the newly repaired combat office and the confidential lieutenant's office location. They are both spacious and bright, and he likes it very much.

Compared to the empty combat office, the confidential lieutenants are much more lively, and there are many people busying themselves. Material statistics and various situations in Youzhou City are reported at any time.

After they count, they will send someone to conduct a review to avoid any mistakes.

Zhang Chuchen, Xiao Mei and Luo Luo were studying things at the same table, and they didn't notice it when Li De came in.

"The city construction map and the street shops are marked in detail, which is really good." Li De praised.

Only a few people realized that someone was there.

"Walking without sound, it's scary to death." Zhang Chuchen said angrily.

"You are too committed, how can you blame me?" Li De defended himself.

"Why can't you blame me?" Zhang Chuchen asked in reverse.

Li De knew that he could never reason with women, so he stopped continuing with this topic.

"What are you studying?"

"You are not saying that you want to develop business, we are planning shops in the city." Zhang Chuchen replied.

"You all think of me and see how your achievements are?"

Li De didn't have much hope. After checking, he found that he really couldn't underestimate the business talent of women, including restaurants, tea houses, and commercial streets.

If you look closely, isn’t this the same as the plan in Chang'an City?

"It's very good. If such a plan can be developed, it would be really good. If you continue to work hard, just distribute the east and west markets. Isn't it better to build a large commercial zone in the center of the city and expand it with a commercial zone?" Li De said with an idea.

Zhang Chuchen thought about it and decided that nothing special. Xiao Mei didn't even think there was anything. Instead, Luo Luo understood Li De's meaning.

"The boss is wise, and the merchants are concentrated in the center of the city. If the place is not enough, it will definitely extend outward. In this way, we will save the restaurants and teahouses we set up before. In the future, let the merchants develop on their own according to their needs, which will save a lot of trouble." Luo Luo said.

"Do you still understand this?" Li De said curiously.

Lolo has a talent for business and his thinking is different from others.

"I have come into contact with more businessmen, maybe I know their ideas more." Lolo replied.

Zhang Chuchen and Xiao Mei mean to develop restaurants and teahouses as eyewitnesses for the "Red Peony" spy network. Who would have thought that Li De had never thought about this matter at all.

It is really not that two women are not in their position and do not do anything else.

In fact, even if Li De knew, he would not care. After all, what Youzhou City needs most now is economic recovery and gathering the people, and other things can only be considered second.

"Li Lang, you have been looking for you here for a long time." Pei Qingxuan walked over and said.

"You guys keep going, I'll go out and say something." Li De greeted Zhang Chuchen and others, and immediately left the room with Pei Qingxuan.

"Have you found the limestone?" Li De asked.

"I found it. There are many on the cliff mountain ten miles away, with a large reserve. It is no problem to build the workshop there directly, but at least 500 people are required to defend." Pei Qingxuan said.

"Five hundred people?" Li De said in surprise.

"Well, the terrain of Juli Mountain is relatively complex. To prevent enemy sneak attacks, you can only send more people." Pei Qingxuan said.

"It just happened to be the use of the heavy cavalry of the Pei family. There is definitely no chance to recruit workers at the moment. In this way, let the guards brought by several lieutenants go over to help with the construction, and they can use the workshop when they leave." Li Dedao.

"Husband, this is not appropriate. They are all borrowed troops and horses. They cannot stay in Youzhou for too long." Pei Qingxuan reminded.
