Chapter 480 Hundreds of Thousands
Mobilizing troops was of great importance, and Li Shimin's somewhat tired expression suddenly cheered up.
"I'll take a look, and it's redeployed again?"
Li Shimin wondered if Youzhou City had any other plans, so he hurriedly opened the file and read it. The content on it was not much.
"Brother-in-law, all my people go to the barracks outside the city. Is there enough place?"
"Don't worry, some of the Pioneer soldiers have been stationed at other locations. Let your people go there because there is a large school ground there that can be used to train soldiers." Li De explained.
"Okay, I'll let someone withdraw from Youzhou City as soon as possible." Li Shimin responded.
The people in Youzhou City quietly evacuated. After the Li brothers' troops left the city, the places left in Youzhou City began to be transformed.
Li De didn't want to waste the existing conditions, and it happened to be used to train elite soldiers.
The first thing to do is to build a school in the original barracks contact, mainly for the soldiers to learn.
In winter, many people have nothing to do, so they will have a good income when they go to the Pioneer's Workshop to help. Youzhou City is very quiet and the streets are sparsely populated, but the situations of several workshops are completely different.
After winter, the farming season will soon enter. There is too much land in Youzhou City, and it takes a lot of manpower to reclaim land and plant it. It is essential for Youzhou City to maintain long-term stability in food.
The craftsmen work hard to make curved plows and various production tools, and recruit many experienced people to train plowing oxen. Without this, various products are being hoarded one after another.
Li De also sent someone to find a coal mine. His plan was to use coal stoves in Youzhou City tomorrow winter to experience the warmth of the kang.
"Boss, I made lotus seed porridge to remove the fire."
Luo Luo has caught up with a maid now. He runs around Li De every day. His careful service makes Li De feel embarrassed sometimes.
"Okay, let it go, I'll drink it later."
"Boss, Youzhou City is so quiet now, and you rarely see people during the day." Luo Luo said.
"The population matter has been working hard, and I believe someone will come in the past winter." Li De speculated.
"What if the land reclamation progresses smoothly, but if there are too many people coming, our food will be only supplied?"
Li De also knew that Luo Luo was right. No matter when food was, it was the most important thing, and hoarding and reserves were a very important link.
Building high walls and storing grain is also a strategy.
Now there is a city wall in Youzhou, and solving the problem of food can ensure completeness.
"Lolo, do you have a good idea?" Li De asked.
"Now we should send people to the south to contact grain merchants and send the grain as soon as possible after the snow skiing." Luo Luo said.
"Is there any good way to attract them?" Li De continued to ask.
"Yes, we don't have a lot of land. Grain vendors also need to make money by selling grain. After we harvest the extra ones, we can sell them to these merchants in exchange for salary, which can just alleviate the shortage of granaries."
"Yeah, that's a solution."
Li De had long thought about these things, but when he heard that Lolo also thought of them, he felt that keeping Lolo by his side was useless.
"Then I will leave this matter to you all attendees." Li Dedao.
"Boss, I'm just giving an idea." Luo Luo said immediately. It was obvious that she didn't want to go out to do things, so Li De wouldn't take back his words.
Luo Luo was angry when she saw this. She just wanted to come up with an idea and was appreciated by Li De. Who would have thought of getting herself in, so she had to set off in three days.
Three months later, the grain merchants did not wait, but a large number of refugees migrated to Youzhou, with hundreds of thousands of people.
Li De, who learned the news, was a little confused about why so many people suddenly came to Youzhou. Within two days, Hongmudan's people sent the news.
When Li De saw it, he became angry. The people of Hongmudan found that someone deliberately spread rumors. These people came from the hands of others. Among such a large number of people, there must be people who had already arranged them.
They are all refugees, mainly poor families. If they cannot handle these people well, they can be enough to subvert Youzhou City.
Soon Li De summoned all the commanders and the lieutenants to discuss the matter.
"Grandmaster, who would this incitement be?" Shi Huaiyi asked.
"It is not certain yet, but one thing is certain is that this person should have a relatively familiarity with the situation in Youzhou City." Li Dedao.
This is also what he cares about the most. Hong Mudan didn't find it, which means that the other party's spy was also very experienced. Based on Hong Mudan's news, it is difficult to answer who it is.
"Does there be spies inside us?" Shi Huaiyi said in surprise.
"Not necessarily, after all, it is easy to just hide the news and send it out."
Shi Huaiyi thought about it and it was true. He must be too careful.
"Youzhou City can accommodate 50,000 people. If the house needs to be built, some of the people who came before have not been properly resettled." Li Shimin said.
"Hundreds of thousands of people are definitely not allowed to be placed in the city. They can only be allocated to the farm. It is impossible for so many people to be allocated, at least for a while." Li Shimin continued.
Li De knew that even if he had to register and re-register the household registration, it would take many days to complete, not to mention that the land was divided and the land reclamation took a lot of time. What he was worried that these later people would not be able to catch up with farming, and more and more things would happen later.
"We must prepare early, otherwise we will stop the people who come and scatter them to the nearby prefectures?" He Bida asked.
"Grandmaster, this is a solution." Shi Huaiyi said.
Li De felt that it was good to diversion, but he still felt it was inappropriate and said, "You think if someone took the lead and asked them to go back to various prefectures? If we reject them, the consequences will be very serious."
"I'm afraid that it will spread, so there will be no one in Youzhou in the future. This trick is indeed a detriment." Ding Qilin said.
Although he is young, he has a flexible mind and can be easily understood at all.
"Now that Youzhou City is short of people and cannot accept so many people again, it will inevitably cause many problems. Moreover, choosing to instigate the people at this time may have already planned, but it is expected that Youzhou City will not be able to reject these people." Li Jing said.
"Everyone has any solutions, let's talk about it." Li Dedao.
Everyone was pondering.
"These people must be resettled if they come. Food is a big problem," said Li Shimin.
The problem is all about the point, but the key is the lack of food.
"The chamber of commerce can raise some, but not too many. It's okay to accept 10,000 people, but hundreds of thousands of people are absolutely not possible." Wei Li said.
"Yes, these people need to accept them, but they cannot accept them all. Our Youzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lack of population. However, the absorption of population requires gradual progress. It is better to formulate a plan based on everyone's opinions." Li De said.
