Chapter 187
After the road construction started, Zhang Yu spent a lot of money.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhang Yu will not use the points lightly.
Points are rare and must be used in more important places.
"My lord, I spent hundreds of thousands of copper coins this month. This is just the beginning. After that, the cost will be even greater. It is very difficult for our fairy wine to be sold to all parts of Dahan. We can only sell it around Luoyang, which is only 60 per month. With an income of [-] yuan, this is completely beyond our means.”
As soon as the road was built, Zhang Zhao, the chief executive, came to cry poorly.
Zhang Yu recruited a large number of refugees, and these refugees also needed resettlement.
A lot of it needs money, a lot of it.
Zhang Yu also has a big head.
The current funding gap is hundreds of thousands a month.
This needs to be redeemed with points, and 10,000+ points are required.
Zhang Yu was reluctant to exchange 10,000+ points for copper coins and food.
"Salt, yes, we still have a lot of salt. We just need to find a way to sell the salt." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.
Salt can definitely solve Zhang Yu's current financial difficulties, at least partially, but at this time Zhang Yu can only use smuggling.
Zhang Yu did not hesitate and immediately asked Guo Jia to make arrangements.
Guo Jia was specially assigned to smuggle salt. There was currently no war in the territory and his ability to handle internal affairs was not very high, so he was asked to do this specifically.
"It's still too slow to get money like this, and it's not so fast to spread the salt." Zhang Yu thought.
"Grab it." A thought flashed through Zhang Yu's mind.
When I went to Jizhou to rob money, I robbed tens of millions.
Now of course it is impossible to be as crazy as before and directly grab large sums of money.
But now the whole Han Dynasty is full of bandits. Where there are bandits, there are opportunities to make a fortune.
Why are there so many bandits?
It was also because of Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu used the system to create a population of nearly ten million, and some of these people became bandits.
Therefore, now it can be said that bandits are as hairy as hair.
Zhang Yu decided to send another army to suppress the bandits.
The territory is still safe.
In a corner of Pianan, there are not many places that can attack Kuaiji County.
Therefore, Zhang Yu planned to keep three thousand in the territory and leave all the other seven thousand.
The plan goes on.
Several generals led their troops out.
Zhang Yu also wanted to go out, but he was still needed for many things, so he stayed to watch the house.
Several generals marched along the banks of the Yangtze River.
One is to make some extra money, and the other is to find out the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Two teams set off, and then divided into a team of 1000 people, led by several generals.
They fought all the way and soon eliminated many bandits along the road.
At the same time, there will be spoils of war against the bandits, and some people and property will be sent back.
Two more months later, the territory exploded again.
On this day, Zhang Yu was in the prefect's mansion looking at statistical reports from various places.
"My lord, look, we have succeeded, we have succeeded." Zhang Zhao walked in excitedly and said while talking.
Zhang Yu had already seen the book in Zhang Zhao's hand.
Yes, what excited Zhang Zhao was the book in his hand.
After the paper was produced, Zhang Yu of course wanted to produce movable type printing as well.
This is the book that Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to arrange for production.
"Okay, good, good, it's another way to make money." Zhang Yu said happily, flipping through the Analects in his hand.
"Lord, this book is not only very light, but also has clear handwriting and is cheap. We print hundreds of copies and they are not as expensive as a single bamboo slip." Zhang Zhao said excitedly.
Zhang Zhao was very excited. He was an intellectual after all.
When I saw this book, I was very excited.
Zhang Zhao was excited because of the significance of cultural transmission represented by this book, and Zhang Yu was excited because he made a paper book, and he would definitely be famous forever.
What makes Zhang Yu even more excited is that he can make a fortune again and the territory's financial crisis can be alleviated.
"Zi Bu, please work hard these days. Print a few more books, and print a batch of each type. I will personally take them to Luoyang to sell them in a few days," Zhang Yu said.
Usually Zhang Yu can't sell books in person, but this time it's different.
Zhang Yu wants to go to events and market in person to make books popular.
In addition, Zhang Yu is going to get some books back.
During the Three Kingdoms period, books were monopolized by aristocratic families, and their books would not be loaned out.
The books in Zhang Yu's hands were all kept by the Xiang family, and the types were limited.
Zhang Yu didn't want many books to be destroyed in the flames of war.
So he was going to get some books back.
"Don't worry, my lord, all the books we have in hand are being printed, and they will be printed soon. As long as they are printed, they will be printed very quickly," Zhang Zhao said.
Zhang Yu nodded. The technique of movable type printing is not difficult, and the operation is also very fast. A batch can be printed in a few days.
Zhang Yu decided to go to Luoyang again.
A few days later, Zhang Yu took 500 people and [-] strong men to help transport things.
This time, Zhang Yu brought some "special products" to the emperor.
There are big pearls from the East China Sea, some seafood, and of course the best fairy wine.
In addition, Queen He has not been forgotten.
Speaking of which, Zhang Yu didn't even see Queen He last time, but only had someone hand over the items.
No matter what this time, I have to meet the queen, deepen my relationship with the queen, and tell He Jin not to trouble him.
With various purposes, Zhang Yu and his team set out again.
Not long after setting off, after entering Wu County, you can see the vigorous road construction army, and there are already many such road construction troops.
Zhang Yu led the team to walk for more than ten days, and it went smoothly during the ten days, and he insisted on several road construction points.
That night, Zhang Yu and the others had just been stationed in the wild.
"Lord, there are signs of large-scale human activities ahead, and the situation is unknown." A scout came back and reported.
Zhang Yu was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "Send a few more people out and order the soldiers to guard the camp."
Every day when they are stationed, Zhang Yu will be more careful, and the surrounding miles are within his detection range, but this is the first time they have encountered such a situation.
This time Zhang Yu came out without any generals, because they all had missions and were all out to suppress bandits.
Half an hour later, a soldier came to report.
"Lord, we have investigated clearly. There is a group of bandits with more than 3000 people who want to attack our road construction team." the soldier reported.
"What?" Zhang Yu was startled and said unhappily: "The road construction team is not protected by the army and is very dangerous."
"Order the soldiers to prepare for battle, and send out scouts to contact the surrounding teams of our army." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu and the others found traces of his army on the road. Zhang Yu judged that there must be his own troops around.
Five hundred soldiers, ready for battle soon.
Under the cover of darkness, five hundred soldiers moved towards the bandits.
"You dare to rob the team building the road, you are on the point of gunpoint." Zhang Yu said as he walked.
