Zhang Yu came back a few days, in addition to the previous two days with a few wives, the rest are busy.
There are so many things to do.
Zhang Yu comes to Zhang Zhao to discuss with Guo Jia.
"Zibu, how about Jiangdong's finance now?" Zhang Yu asked.
Zhang Zhao picked up his notebook and turned it up. Then he said, "the income is very good. There is always a balance."
Zhang Zhao also gave a more detailed report.
Tax, salt, tea and so on are all profitable projects. In addition, overseas can provide a large number of silver and copper mines, which is also a large amount of income. Therefore, Jiangdong's finance can have a surplus.
"OK, then allocate special funds to expand the army. Fifty thousand cavalry is a must, and the other is to expand the militia. If there is a need to recruit soldiers from the militia, they can quickly become an army." Zhang Yu said.
Militia usually have training, but the training intensity is low, but they also receive regular training.
Once necessary, they can be recruited and trained for a month or two to join the regular army.
Money is good for business.
Since there is a balance, Zhang Yu will arrange all the money to go on, the recruitment of recruits, the building of weapons and equipment to build weapons and equipment.
"What about gold and silver?" Zhang Yu asked again.
"Millions of gold coins and silver coins can be produced every month. Nowadays, gold coins and silver coins are very popular in the market. The specifications of gold coins and silver coins we cast are always the same, which is very convenient to use in the market," Zhang said
In this way, Zhang Yu can rest assured that the strategy of gold and silver coins is very important.
Zhang Yu learned again that the money shortage in his territory was basically solved.
There is no shortage of money, the economy is developing rapidly, the people are getting rich, and the tax revenue is more considerable.
After years of hard work, the people in Jiangdong are still rich.
Zhang Yu learned more about the details, and he had a good idea.
"It's time to focus on China and compete with the princes." Zhang Yu said.
In the past, Zhang Yu spent a lot of resources overseas and invested a lot of money in education, which made the soldiers and horses of the territory only able to defend, but not fight outside.
Now that his strength is strong, Zhang Yu wants to change his strategy.
For the overseas part, the income is very good. As long as we put this income in again, we don't need Jiangdong to invest it again.
After Zhang Yu learned about the situation, he asked Zhang Zhao to prepare for the war with Guo Jia and put more resources on the military.
But at this time, Zhang Yu received bad news.
"Shit, what's the use of Cao Cao being the emperor in his hands? He gave me an imperial edict." Zhang Yu was in a good mood. After receiving the imperial edict, he became very angry.
The content of the edict is very simple, without Zhang Yu's identity as a tour envoy of the Yangtze River.
Cao Cao did not directly remove Zhang Yu, but instead granted him the title of General Zhang Yu.
General Zheng Dong has a fart use. Zhang Yu's east side is the sea.
The tour of the Yangtze River is very impressive. In the Yangtze River Basin, they are all involved.
But now Cao Cao asked Liu Xie to exempt him.
If you don't, you don't. It's a false name.
But this false name, at least Liu Biao and other so-called Great Han clan must admit.
Without this identity, many things would be inconvenient for Zhang Yu.
It is obvious that Cao Cao deliberately blocked him.
Didn't you pit him once before.
As for revenge.
If Cao Cao knew what Zhang Yu thought, he would scold him.
I've been cheated for more than 100000 soldiers, but I haven't got anything. I'm not allowed to express my emotions.
"Don't let me find a chance. Once I have a chance, I will never let you have a good time." Zhang Yu is still angry, but he said some cruel words.
When Liu Biao sent someone to find Cao Cao, Cao Cao immediately agreed.
There has been no chance of revenge, this time to find an opportunity, naturally give Zhang Yu add block.
Zhang Yu controlled the whole Yangtze River Basin and became more and more powerful, which made Cao Cao uneasy.
Although it's just a tour envoy, it's not so convenient for Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu is planning how to calculate Cao Cao. At this time, Chen Gong arrives.
Chen Gong came in a hurry. He was in a hurry all the way.
After arriving, Zhang Yu went out to meet him in person.
"Mr. Chen, I've worked hard all the way. I've prepared a guest room for you to have a good rest." Zhang Yu said.
Chen Gong bowed and said, "let's talk about things first."
Seeing that Chen Gong was worried, Zhang Yu followed him and took him to the prefecture.
After going in, Chen Gong just had a little rest, still tired.
"Mr. Chen, the purpose of this trip is to buy weapons and equipment?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Not only that, but I also want to ask Mr. Zhang to support Fengxian with some money and food. I'm sure there will be a big reward in Xuzhou." Chen Gong said.
"Er ~" Zhang Yu choked and asked for more money.
Isn't this for equipment? How did you come to ask for support.
Zhang Yu doesn't want to do business at a loss.
Zhang Yu asked curiously, "general Lu didn't take Xuzhou by blood blade. He didn't go through a war. What do you need?"
It's understandable for Zhang Yu to buy weapons and equipment, even on credit, but in turn, Zhang Yu has to support them with money and food, which Zhang Yu can't understand.
"Mr. Zhang doesn't know that Liu xuandekong has a reputation. He is actually a straw bag. He even defeated Xuzhou. Xuzhou is running out of money to pay salaries, let alone to support its troops." Chen Gong said wrongly.
Is Xuzhou so poor?
Zhang Yu didn't know that all this was given by one.
It's true that Xuzhou is rich, but it has always produced a large number of refugees, and it needs a lot of money to resettle them.
Then there is the shortage of money in Xuzhou, which is very tense.
Zhang Yu's money shortage became more and more serious because a large number of commodities, especially salt and tea, were sold to Xuzhou.
A large number of copper coins are concentrated here in Zhang Yu, as well as those aristocratic families in Xuzhou.
Liu Bei had a general relationship with Xuzhou's aristocratic family. In particular, MI Zhu had sold out his family property and retreated to Zhang Yu.
In this way, Liu Bei has no financial resources.
In the past, when Tao Qian was there, he could ask for money from various families by virtue of his prestige, but Liu Bei didn't have that ability, not to mention he couldn't control some troops in Xuzhou.
In this way, Liu Bei has been living a tight life in Xuzhou.
Several small-scale Wars made him empty his savings.
In history, Liu Bei had the strong support of MI Zhu, but now he doesn't.
"Liu Xuande has known for a long time that he has no ability." Zhang Yu also scolded.
Although Zhang Yu expressed some indignation, he didn't know how happy he was. He created a shortage of money and didn't expect the effect to be good.
But the question is, can Lu Bu repay the money and weapons he borrowed?
Zhang Yu is very suspicious.
"Mr. Zhang can rest assured that you and I have made an agreement that Fengxian will repay the money on time. When I stabilize Xuzhou, I will naturally have the money to repay Mr. Zhang." Chen Gong promised.
Zhang Yu hesitated.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. When I go back, I suggest that Fengxian ban the sale of salt, and the government should buy and sell it. In this way, I can replace it soon." Chen Gong said.
Zhang Yu took a cold breath. Chen Gong is going to attack the salt merchants in Xuzhou.
Tough enough.
