Chapter 818 It's Hard to Give Up
"Grandmaster, our people have already contacted Su Yong, but the result is that he is unwilling to leave because of the responsibility of defending the city."
"Okay, there's no hurry to do this, you need some patience. Now the anti-kings are making trouble everywhere, so we will focus on summoning the people first."
"yes."
The things done by the anti-kings made many people lose their way to survive. As many people can be saved, they cannot migrate all the people in the world to Youzhou.
One city in Youzhou can already reach three or four Chang'an cities. The residential areas have been expanding again and again. The population of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji has exceeded these six million. The population of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji is as high as 13 million, including Ningzhou, the northern part of Liao.
The population of Chang'an is only one million.
The population of the people of the power of Youzhou can account for one-half of the Sui State, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the largest force.
Why is the total population so small? There are many factors. War is the main battle between Emperor Yang of Sui. Goryeo can call millions of soldiers.
As a result, there were very few people left behind when they came back.
Not only is it consumed, but it is not high in terms of birth rate, and having children is very risky.
In a few years, the birth rate of Youji Sixteen Prefectures was much higher than that of other prefectures. Because of the construction and development of obstetrics and gynecology hospitals, the more important thing is to train a large number of professional delivery doctors and popularize knowledge for years.
With a huge population and no ideological confinement, all of them work to create value, which is the main reason for the rapid development.
What Li De can do is to try his best to gather the fleeing people and provide them with a job so that they can create their own lives through their labor.
Having mastered the population is not far from mastering the world.
Li De decided not to let the anti-kings continue like this, because he was worried that they would transfer the war to the south and did not want He Bida and Weili to split their minds against the troublemakers.
After thinking, it was decided to expose a series of recent things that the anti-kings had done.
The newspaper was printed, thinking that the harm caused to the people by the anti-kings attacked the cities and counties was infinitely amplified, and it took up more space to report.
After the spread, the anti-kings were immediately criticized by all forces, especially Li De stood up and spoke this time.
"Hmph, what is Li De going to do? Only allow them to recover the city and county. We will do it to infringe on the property of the people and affect urban construction and hinder development. Look at what the newspaper says is too much."
The anti-kings were in charge of Luoyang, but they would not have thought that the newspapers in Youzhou were targeting them.
Many people didn't say anything, many things written in the newspaper were facts, and they were commonplace in the practice of soldiers and bandits, and they could not be stopped at that time.
But writing it out directly is slapping them in the face.
He Cheng had thought that Youzhou's newspapers would have such great influence, and they were completely making "wedding clothes" for Youzhou.
"Let's discuss how to deal with it."
At the end of the newspaper, Li De had already made it clear that for the sake of the people, he could surrender to Youzhou for stability. Once threatened, 500,000 vanguard soldiers will serve as your solid backing.
The anti-kings never thought that such an operation could be done.
Publicly publicize the surrender of the prefectures in various places to Youzhou, and they are very worried that many of their cities and counties have not been attacked.
Under the pressure of theirs, if there are really county magistrates who want to ask Youzhou for help, how should they face the vanguard soldiers?
"Everyone, I thought I could slow down the plan to occupy the city and county, and use some benefits to bribe the county magistrates to prevent them from cooperating with Youzhou." Li Mi said.
"This is reasonable."
The garrison of a county has great power. As long as they negotiate cooperation, they may not necessarily want to surrender to a force.
Now the royal family has no time to take care of themselves, so the county magistrates in various places are the local lords, and no one does not like power and wealth.
This point proposed by Li Mi has allowed them to find another way.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's just do it for the time being." Luo Tiehan said.
"You agree so happily, you occupy the most cities and counties." Ma Delai said.
Luo Tiehan did not argue with him, and everyone knew that Ma Delai's territory was in Ningxia. Even if he occupied the city, the economy of the city was very limited.
What they said was just envy and jealousy, and they could understand it.
Li Mi was very depressed. The Wagang soldiers captured very quickly. Many places occupied by Chengjun had already divided up 100,000 troops to deploy defenses in each Chengjun.
Now that Li De comes forward, he will have some plans, and a newspaper will stop their development plan.
He cared more about Li De than Li Yuan. The largest force is not to say that, and it may not be an opponent even if he joined forces with the Li family.
"Mr. Mao, what do you think of what Li De did?"
"Maybe it won't take long to go, Youzhou's strength will be further expanded, and the first enemy will be the Li family of King Tang." Xu Mao said righteously.
"Will Li De really attack Li Yuan?" Li Mi asked.
"Just talking about the recent expansion of Youzhou, you will soon face the Li family and have to conflict with it at that time." Xu Maogong analyzed.
“What can we do?”
"If you want to win, you may join forces with the anti-kings and kings to help the Tang king fight against Youzhou together. The advantage of doing this is that if you succeed, you can get the Dragon's merit."
Li Mi was silent, and Xu Maogong naturally knew that this was unwilling to accept it.
"If it fails, the strength of the Li family can be weakened. At that time, it can be developed and integrated into the anti-king forces and then compete with one of them, but there will be risks this time."
Li Mi continued to remain silent.
He found that no matter how he chose, he couldn't be the leader. Are he really willing to give up his desire to compete for the world?
Xu Maogong did not say that he was very supportive of joining the anti-kings to fight Youzhou. By then, with the power of the vanguard troops, they would be wiped out and the world would be peaceful.
If Li De knew that Xu Maogong had such a tendency to self-destruct, he would definitely throw out an olive branch and could consider such a talent from a big perspective for the world's major affairs.
What Xu Maogong pursues is just wealth and honor. He cannot show his talent when doing things with Li Mi. He also has to endure various emotions of the leader, which is comparable to a negative emotion receiver.
How can it be smoother if this continues?
When you feel that your future is hopeless, your thoughts will become more.
If he wants to join the King of Tang or Li De, he can only think about not doing that. If he put it into action, he would be treasonable and would not be able to do anything if his reputation was broken.
Otherwise, why are there so many people who are in trouble? Can't they see the benefits in which bowl?
They are not fools, they can only be involuntarily.
It takes an opportunity to turn to the camp. If it is not done properly, it will be embarrassing, and good things will turn into bad things.
So only he himself knew Xu Maogong's depression.
Li Mi was still thinking, but in fact, Xu Maogong said it very clearly, that is, if you want to make a name for yourself, you really have no future if you want to become an emperor.
Unfortunately, those who know the times are heroes, but unfortunately, it is difficult to give up easily.
