Zhang Yu gave Mi Zhu too many accidents.
When he saw the busy port, he knew how far Jiangdong would develop in the future.
In addition, Zhang Yu took him to the shipyard.
In a shipyard, there are tens of thousands of workers working in different areas, which shocked Mi Zhu.
On the berth, a large ship is under construction, and even more than a dozen large ships are under construction at the same time.
"Brother Zhang, how much is it?" Mi Zhu was shocked not by the size of the ship, but by how much money it would cost.
"It costs millions of dollars to build a ship, and tens of millions of dollars to build a dozen."
Zhang Yu said it easily, but Mi Zhu was stunned.
I don't know. Zhang Yu has spent more than one billion yuan on the ship.
This is more than Mi Zhu's total wealth.
How could Mi Zhu not be shocked.
Mi Zhu thought, what will happen if the money is used to develop the army?
I'm afraid Zhang Yu's military strength is already big and frightening.
The army should have its own law of development. It is useless to have a large number of troops.
Only by training enough backbone can such an army have combat effectiveness.
This time Mi Zhu is completely convinced and decides to follow Zhang Yu.
After reading these, Zhang Yu takes Mi Zhu to some workshops to have a look.
Mi Zhu was shocked again when he saw the assembly line for Zhang Yu to process military equipment.
Mi Zhu didn't know how many times she had been shocked.
At this time, he found that Zhang Yu's strength was completely beyond everyone's imagination.
After a tour, many of MI Zhu's ideas were overturned.
Mi Zhu said a question when she came back.
"Brother Zhang, you have such strength. It would be better to help your majesty unify the world." Mi Zhu said..
To help Liu Xie unify the world is just an obscure saying. Everyone knows that today's princes want to be independent, and Zhang Yu is no exception.
"There is still a shortage of basic talents, administrative talents and the backbone of the army. The development of internal friction will not be faster. I have a vast space. I just need to nibble at it slowly. In the future, no one can match me." Zhang Yu said a vague and far-reaching strategy that can be realized.
Mi Zhu is dumb and Zhang Yu is right.
If we try our best to expand our forces to fight for the Central Plains, we can only get more land, and what Zhang Yu needs most is land.
Therefore, a solid foundation can be built slowly, and no one can match it in the future.
When they go back, it's already a few days later. Yangzhou is not far away from Xuzhou, and the fast horse can go back and forth soon.
By this time, Tao Qian's letter had arrived.
Tao Qian agrees with Zhang Yu's request.
In Tao Qian's opinion, it is a very cost-effective thing to be able to exempt tens of millions of money.
"Ha ha, Tao Qian's idea is too simple."
How can Zhang Yu suffer? Many of his industrial products can quickly occupy Xuzhou and turn Xuzhou into his own market.
Before that, he had made Zhang Zhao ready, and he expected Tao Qian would agree.
Tao Qian also thought that with Liu Bei, he could develop the military, and when he was strong, he would overthrow everything.
But Tao Qian doesn't have that time. He's going to hang up.
Even if he lives, Xuzhou is doomed to fail to develop.
Not to mention Cao Cao, not long ago, Yuan Shu also killed him and occupied Huainan and a part of Yangzhou.
Zhang Yu and Yuan Shu became neighbors.
Xuzhou is surrounded by several great princes, waiting to be divided up at any time.
Zhang Yu's first move was to sell salt on a large scale.
Zhang Yu's sale of salt is not a small sum.
Now he is hoarding a lot of salt. Once it is sold, it will definitely make people panic and even defeat all salt merchants in Xuzhou.
After Tao Qian agreed, Zhang Yu began to work out the contract.
The contract is very simple. Zhang Yu organized several firms to do business in Xuzhou. Xuzhou must protect the fairness of these firms.
The so-called fairness means that the government should not interfere. Of course, Tao Qian also stipulated some things that can not be done.
Zhang Yu usually doesn't pay taxes. He pays a fixed amount of taxes to Xuzhou every month. During the period, his profits and losses are his own, and once he signs a contract, it's a ten-year contract.
After signing the contract, Zhang Yu began to implement it.
At this time, MI Zhu had not returned to Xuzhou.
"Brother Zhang, what are you doing? Are you crazy to transport so much salt?" Mi Zhu comes to find Zhang Yu and sees that Zhang Yu orders the transportation of a large amount of salt to Xuzhou.
"It's not crazy. Xuzhou is so big and has so many people. It's estimated that these salt can only be used for a few days in Xuzhou." Zhang Yu said calmly.
Mi Zhu thinks that Zhang Yu is crazy. The consumption of tens of millions of people in a state for several days is so huge.
But Zhang Yu is very calm.
Zhang Yu added: "in the future, Xuzhou only needs a salt merchant."
Yes, Zhang Yu attacked Xuzhou with a large amount of high-quality salt, which brought down all the salt merchants in Xuzhou.
Zhang Yu's salt is free of impurities and of high quality. Cai Mao quickly controlled Xuzhou's market and defeated all salt merchants in Xuzhou through Zhang Yu's salt.
This time, Zhang Yu made a plan to sell at a low price.
With good quality and low price, it's no wonder that the local salt merchants in Xuzhou have not collapsed under such impact.
Zhang Yu and his family bask in salt all the year round. They hoard so much salt that they could not digest it, so they sold it to other places.
In order to save some money, Tao Qian lost more.
However, it will take some time to defeat the salt merchants in Xuzhou. At this time, Zhang Yu will discuss other things with MI Zhu.
Zhang Yu took out some gold and silver coins, handed them to MI Zhu and said, "how about these gold and silver coins?"
Mi Zhu took the gold and silver coins in Zhang Yu's hand and watched them carefully.
"It's exquisitely made. A few gold coins are almost the same as silver coins. They have high collection value." Mi Zhu commented.
Instead of speaking, Zhang Yu shook his head.
Mi Zhu was puzzled and asked: "brother Zhang, these gold coins and silver coins are really good. I weigh them. They have enough weight and almost the same quality. It's not easy to make such coins. Moreover, they have obvious lines and exquisite design. They really have high collection value."
"Maybe hundreds of years or even thousands of years later, it has a high collection value, but at present there is not much collection value, only use value." Zhang Yu said.
If the gold and silver coins can be put into the 21st century, they may be sold at a high price, but they are unlikely to have much collection value at present.
Mi Zhu's face was puzzled, but Zhang Yu said: "at present, there are hundreds of thousands of gold coins and millions of silver coins. How much collection value do you think they have?"
Mi Zhu has a big mouth. He thinks it's made by a craftsman, but Zhang Yu tells him that he still has a lot of such coins.
But Mi Zhu responded quickly and stammered, "brother Zhang, is this to be used as a coin?"
You should know that gold and silver were also valuables in this era, but it was the first time that they were minted into coins.
