Mi Zhu pretends to be in a dilemma. In fact, he really wants to go to Yangzhou. He has just been back for half a month. He has arranged some personnel and property to go there, just in time to check.
But he can't show it.
"Mr. Zhou mu, Zhang Yu's appetite has never been enough. Last time we were all cheated by him, and his subordinates were extremely ashamed. They really can't afford it. Let Mr. Chen or brother Xuande go." Mi Zhu looks at Chen Gui and says to Liu Bei.
Both Chen Gui and Liu Bei don't want to go. Zhang Yu eats people and doesn't spit out bones. When he comes back, he thinks he's taking advantage of them. As a result, he's cheated by Zhang Yu again.
Like a simple trade agreement, Tao Qian thought it was nothing, but in the end, it was so bad that he almost defeated the salt merchants in Xuzhou within a month.
As a result, Tao Qian repeatedly advised Mi Zhu to send him to Yangzhou again.
Mi Zhu refused for a while and agreed to come down, but it would take two days to travel.
This time Mi Zhu will arrange for some important family members to pass by and gradually gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou and Liaodong.
Of course, Zhang Yu also knows the situation in Xuzhou.
Tao Qian only estimates that Zhang Yu has taken more than 100 million yuan from Xuzhou, but Zhang Yu's data is far more than that.
Because salt alone costs nearly 200 million.
Many people are rushing to buy salt. Because of its good quality and low price, they want to buy more if they can, in case they don't have it in the future.
Zhang Yu's other commodities also entered Xuzhou one after another.
Although tea and shenxianniang have entered Xuzhou for a long time, they were all high-end commodities with limited market capacity at that time.
This time, Zhang Yu sold a lot of low-end products, which more people could afford to buy and use.
These add up to tens of millions of dollars.
All of a sudden, Zhang Yu's money has become abundant.
That day, Zhang Zhao came to find Zhang Yu. He looks very happy these days. With money in his hand, he will do a lot of work.
"Lord, there will be an autumn harvest in half a month, and there will be a lot of tax revenue at that time, but we have too much grain. My subordinates suggest that we can let the people have money to pay taxes, and those who have no money will still pay taxes with grain. My subordinates suggest that we sell the other part of the old grain." Zhang Zhao finds Zhang Yu and says.
Nowadays, there is plenty of food in China. This is because sweet potato and other crops have been popularized in China.
"If you don't sell it, you'll save everything except the grassland people. If you don't have enough warehouses, you'll continue to build them. In addition, you'll transport more points to overseas strongholds." Zhang Yu said.
In the areas controlled by the south, the grain harvest is really good, and Zhang Yu's grain reserves are really sufficient, but Zhang Yu still does not intend to sell grain.
However, he agreed with Zhang Zhao's proposal to let people pay taxes with money.
Part of the people have money in their hands. It's really convenient for them to pay taxes with money.
Zhang Yu knows that the population will continue to soar, and there is no harm in saving more grain.
Then Zhang Zhao said, "my Lord, the wedding date has been set. It will be winter three months later, but the climate here is still warm. Now it's time to send the invitation."
Zhang Yu nodded. He had been preparing for more than a month, and then there would be three more months. There would be enough time for the army to train.
"I didn't have money before, but now I have money. I'm going to set up 30000 heavy infantry, and let commander Gao Shun deter the princes." Zhang Yu said.
This time, Zhang Zhao was not stingy and agreed immediately.
One is the harvest in autumn, when it's time to have money. The other is to have a heavy infantry that can withstand the impact of the enemy. It's too important for territory.
In particular, in the east of the Yangtze River, there is no danger to defend except for the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and there is not even a strong city to defend.
If the enemy breaks through the natural danger of the Yangtze River, he will fall into a cruel and bitter battle.
In fact, Gao Shun's camp is heavy infantry, but the scale was too small before. After all, heavy infantry equipment is too expensive, and the requirements for soldiers are too high.
But none of these problems is a problem here in Jiangdong. With tens of millions of people selected and Zhang Yu's army well nourished, there is no problem in selecting 30000 qualified soldiers.
After accepting the order, Gao Shun began to select soldiers in the whole army. At the same time, Zhang Yu's workshop also began to forge heavy equipment.
In order to speed up, Zhang Yu had to spend millions of points to exchange for some forging machines.
The date of marriage has been decided. Zhang Yu has met Cai Yan several times recently. Cai Yan has grown into a big girl with a scholarly air, which Zhang Yu's wives don't have.
Although Xiang Xin's talent is outstanding, but there is no kind of indifferent, noble temperament.
Xiang Xin is like a girl next door, very lovely.
After confirming the wedding date with Zhang Yu, Zhang Zhao sends out the prepared invitation.
This invitation sent out thousands of copies.
For example, Xuzhou, the most recent city, has sent all the high-level officials in Xuzhou to the big and small families.
In addition, there are also some celebrities, regardless of origin, as long as some famous people will be sent.
Whether they come or not is one thing.
Zhang Yu even sent a copy to yuan Shaona.
Zhang Yu not only did that, but also invited everyone in the world.
The invitation was accompanied by the order to recruit talents.
Zhang Yu has already issued a recruitment order before, and the effect is not bad. There are hundreds of talents to work.
Some of them joined the army and became the captains of the 100 member team, and their highest positions reached those of the 1000 member team.
Some people can go up again. They have good potential, but they need military merit.
High ability is one thing. Zhang Yu can give a higher position, but to continue to rise, he must make solid military contributions.
The civil service is also good, the highest is already the county magistrate.
The effect of recruiting talents is good. With Zhang Yu becoming more famous this time, he has to follow Cai Yong's name and invite heroes from all over the world again.
In the name of wedding, many people just want to have a look, but it doesn't matter. Zhang Yu is sure to keep some people.
Jiangdong area is operating efficiently.
With Yangzhou were the first princes to receive the invitation.
"If Zhang Yu is really lustful, he has several wives, and he wants to marry such a high-profile wife." Yuan Shu threw the invitation aside, but he didn't want to go at all.
At this time, Huang Ren, who has been defecting to him for more than a year, said: "my Lord, my subordinates have also received Zhang Yu's invitation."
Huang Ren had been running with his troops, but he became a famous general.
At the end of the war, there was no such thing as he retreated safely with a large group of people.
Huang Ren went out for a turn, fled all the way, from 10000 soldiers and horses to 15000 soldiers and horses, and finally abandoned the city and fled. Then he took 20000 soldiers and horses to join Yuan Shu and became an important general under Yuan Shu.
"It's interesting. It seems that Zhang Yu wants to be more important."
Out of the feeling of the enemy, Yuan Shu felt that Zhang Yu was going to do something important. At this time, Yuan Shu planned to send people to participate.
