Li Shimin received the food and salary from the Ministry of War, and also gave him the position to recruit new recruits, including Taiyuan Prefecture and Jiangling.

Compared with the food and wages, the next thing to recruit troops is the most difficult. Jiangling is a city managed by Li Yuanji, which will definitely be hindered if he wants to go in the past to recruit people.

Fang Xuanling thought it would be better to choose to go to Taiyuan Prefecture to recruit new soldiers and use the reputation of the Li family to recruit some better soldiers.

Jiangling cannot miss the discussion to let Changsun Wuji go to develop some shops by the way.

After the plan was formulated, Li Shimin proposed to Li Yuan to temporarily leave Chang'an and go to Taiyuan Prefecture to recruit new recruits.

After Li Yuan approved, Li Shimin immediately packed up his things and set off.

In name, Taiyuan Prefecture was assigned to Li Yuanba, and in fact, everyone knew that Taiyuan Prefecture was Li Yuan's base camp where would people interfere.

Li Shimin felt that it would be much easier. It was just in line with his intention to concentrate on recruiting soldiers without the matter he was busy with.

The 50,000 elite soldiers under Changsun Wuji remained in Chang'an. No one had the right to mobilize without the orders of the King of Qin. As the garrison of the King of Qin's mansion, it would be impossible for His Majesty to move.

Li Shimin became relaxed when he arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture. His purpose was not just to recruit some troops.

"Yuanba, how are you doing recently?"

Li Shimin was still the same when he returned to the Li family's mansion, except that his mother had been taken into the palace, Li Yuanba was left here.

Li Yuanba's situation could not reassure Li Yuan, so although the above name allowed this fourth son, who was born with divine power to protect Taiyuan Prefecture, actually all the military power was in the hands of the person he trusted the most.

Not to mention that Li Yuanba even Li Shimin is unable to handle the matter of Taiyuan Prefecture, Li Shimin is also having a leisurely slack.

"My second brother hasn't seen you for a long time. My daily routine is that I'm following you by many people, but I buy whatever I want and eat whatever I want."

Li Yuanba’s privileges and all his expenses are paid by others. I don’t have to think that it was arranged by his father.

"Just be happy." Li Shimin really didn't force Li Yuanba.

After seeing Li Yuanba, Li Shimin immediately asked the Xuanjia soldiers he brought to participate in the logging matter. Although he had the food and salary of the 200,000 soldiers given by the Ministry of War, it was not enough.

What Li Shimin wanted to do was to continue selling wood. The distance from Youzhou was much shorter here and could still do timber business through Changsun Wuji's caravan.

He thought for a while and found it inappropriate, so he had a new plan. After half a month, all the newly recruited people were asked to form a caravan specifically for cargo transportation.

All forces are forming their own caravans. Li Shimin feels that this is a good opportunity to make money and easily obtain information.

With this idea, a small caravan with 3,000 people was quickly formed. The caravan with 3,000 people was quite affordable, that's right, according to the caravans in Youzhou, they all started with 10,000 people.

Three thousand people are really nothing to large caravans, there are too many small caravans like this.

Li Shimin then relied on this caravan to sell the wood to Youzhou, and the funds from the first transaction were transported back soon.

In this way, after each transaction returned to Taiyuan Prefecture, the scale of the caravan doubled, and most of the money Li Shimin planned to use to buy military armor was used to build carriages.

The price of the carriage is too expensive, and it is really not something that can be purchased by saving some soldiers. However, Li Shimin didn't care that the scale of the caravan expanded to the level of ten thousand people in one month.

He is already very powerful in the caravans in Fufu, Taiyuan.

Li Shimin knew that these were all exchanged for timber resources. He was quite curious about how much Youzhou was really that rich. The wood sold from him could build half a city house. Why is there no news about why it is going to stop?

In fact, the construction of Youzhou consumes a lot of materials, and there is not only one park project that needs to use wood.

In addition, a lot of wood is used to produce wagons, and no one may notice that the materials used for shipbuilding consume a lot.

Youzhou's blind acquisition will not tell the seller how to use it.

Li De used all these materials as reserves, consuming them while storing them, which not only allowed him to spend money but also sold them to various workshops to earn the difference.

He was not worried about the loss of money. He had to spend money as long as he wanted to develop, just like he knew that Li Shimin sold wood for money.

According to Hong Mudan's information, the investigation of Li Shimin has been almost done, and the newly recruited 100,000 soldiers have also been understood.

However, Li Shimin learned about the incident when he arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture through transaction information, and Li De still continued to purchase timber with the same attitude.

Two months later, Li Jiancheng from Shuofang led his troops to Xie Tianbao, and the Li family did not have an advantage in terms of regional terms.

It is just that supplies are in place as soon as possible to give them the opportunity to continue fighting.

Neither Li Jiancheng nor Li Yuanji were worry-free and they killed them directly with the newly added 100,000 troops.

The battle was extremely smooth, and Xie Tianbao was solved by them, which was also the price of more than 20,000 people, but the gains were a kind of momentum for Li Yuan.

What Li Yuan wants is good news now that he has a new report, but his goal is not just to focus on Shuofang area.

He still wanted to focus on the wealthy Central Plains.

In the second month after Li Shimin recruited new recruits in Taiyuan Prefecture, Li Jiancheng, who had won the battle, was transferred back to Chang'an.

Li De learned about their situation through Hongmudan in Youzhou and knew that it was Li Yuan who took away his son's soldiers and increased his achievements to his eldest son.

After the matter was clear, Li De felt that he could consider how big the area of ​​Li Shimin's psychological shadow was.

No one can be cheated like this. No wonder the father and son of the Li family have a relationship of love, hate, and no one can stand it.

In the Governor's Office, Li De lived a very comfortable life from 9 to 5.

"Xiu Ning, your brothers seem to be very worried." Li De said suddenly.

"What's wrong with them? They can't just want to attack Youzhou." Li Xiuning said with some concern.

"No, it's just that your father is a little bit tempted by Li Jiancheng."

Li De told Li Xiuning what he knew.

"Oh, my father has always valued the eldest son Jiancheng, and his second brother's talent is obvious to all. If only he could give Shimin more opportunities," Li Xiuning sighed.

"Do you think this matter is still objective?" Li Dedao.

"I am their sister and I know them very well. If my father doesn't resolve these conflicts, I'm afraid that something will happen sooner or later."

"What you said makes sense. With your second brother's absolutely unyielding temperament, it is really worrying." Li Dedao.

"But isn't that important to worry? I am a member of your family and I can't handle our affairs. It's getting late and my husband should take a break earlier."
