Grain and grass are absolutely strategic materials. If these people dare to smuggle grain and grass, they will be punished.
It's good that Zhang Yu didn't catch anyone.
But some unfortunate people didn't make much money, because they would confiscate grain and grass and impose huge fines if they were caught.
Guo Jia's fine is not a penalty for how much he earns, but a direct penalty for one year's income.
At this time, Cao Cao was very short of food and grass. He bought a lot from sun CE, but some of them were burned by Zhao Yun.
A large number of gaps made Cao Cao have to buy food everywhere.
The merchants in Jiangdong are sensitive to find business opportunities and transport the grain and grass to Cao Cao to sell, which can be doubled or tripled, so many people take risks.
Zhang Yu issued a decree before that, during the war, all kinds of strategic materials could not be sold.
The grain and grass are undoubtedly strategic materials.
Seeing that Zhang Yu agreed, Guo Jia said, "Lord, according to the information of his subordinates, there is a huge gap in Cao Cao's grain and grass. We smuggle a lot of them. He will soon receive information and know the source of the grain and grass."
Cao Cao is not a fool. It's strange that he doesn't investigate the source of so much smuggled grain.
Through this investigation, he can know that Zhang Yu sold the grain and grass.
"No matter, our grain and grass in Jiangdong are only sold to him through smuggling channels. If they find them, they will ignore them."
Zhang Yu wants to pit Cao Cao. I have grain, but only through smuggling channels.
The price of smuggling is naturally different from that of normal trade.
Zhang Yu makes his money in this way. So, Zhang Yu can really make a lot of money.
At this time, Zhang Yu gives it to Guo Jia to arrange.
Although Zhang Yu has been fighting for years, the land in Jiangdong is very stable, the people can live in peace, and there are a lot of grain after several years of hoarding.
Jiangdong is a land of fish and rice, and it will never lack food.
After finding another source of income, Zhang Yu's pressure immediately eased a lot.
In the next two days, Zhang Yu finally worked out a more detailed financing plan.
After a few days, Zhang Yu held a banquet in the palace for more than 100 businessmen.
They are all rich owners, and 80% of them are upstarts after Zhang Yu took over Jiangdong.
In the era of great navigation, they took the lead and made a lot of money.
Zhang Yu will naturally protect this reasonable income.
The prosperity of Jiangdong depends on them.
There are a lot of people coming this time, they are full of expectations.
The banquet was very happy and everyone was at ease. They took the opportunity to get to know more people and expand more contacts.
They are businessmen and can enjoy a good life, but Zhang Yu won't give them much power and let them extend their tentacles to the government, but they don't degrade their status. Businessmen still have a high status in Jiangdong.
No one dares to bully, no one dares to blackmail.
It's just a banquet. Entering the main topic, Zhang Yu meets them in the hall.
People dare not drink too much, even many people do not drink, just to keep a clear mind, tonight's things may be very important to them.
"Everyone, I believe you all know the purpose. I'll explain it again."
"After Zhang Yu's explanation, he made everyone think.
Several people formed a small pile and began to discuss.
"Lao Chen, what do you want to vote for?"
"I think it's still the first, so they may not have a chance. If they go first at the same time, even if they want to go to the whole China in the future.
In Lao Zheng's reminder, several people feel that they should follow Zhang Yu.
"I don't have much capital. I plan to participate in the construction of the city this time. I'll invest two million yuan. Then I'll see what income can be gained from the construction of the city. But the Lord also said that the income plan will not be announced until we invest in the construction of the city." Lao Zheng said.
"In addition, I'll collect a sum of money next month, and I'll cooperate at that time. Now Zhang Yu's strength has shown, and now he is sitting in three states. As a businessman or family in Jiangdong, they know more about the situation overseas.
Even if the domestic ones are lost, and there is a huge overseas, Zhang Yu has been in an invincible position, why not follow him wholeheartedly.
Lao Zheng and several of them made a decision, and many other small groups also made a decision.
Of course, the decision is different. Some are conservative and some are radical, but they are optimistic.
Some people who have chosen more than 100 have not chosen not to invest. Of course, if they choose not to invest, they are afraid to come tonight.
After more than half an hour of discussion, Zhang Zhao asked them to stop and distribute paper and ink.
This is, of course, to ask them to fill in their investment projects and quotas.
For the third project, you don't need to fill in the investment project and quota, just record it, but they need to contact Zhang Zhao as soon as possible to discuss the investment direction.
Zhang Zhao will offer preferential projects, which are generally construction projects, which are helpful to the stability of Qingzhou, and other rich projects. They will look for them by themselves.
