Chapter 187: Road Encounter with Bandits

After the road construction began, Zhang Yu's expenses were extremely high. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

As a last resort, Zhang Yu will not use points lightly.

Points are hard to come by, and they must be used in more important places.

"Lord, this month spends hundreds of thousands of copper coins, this is still the beginning, and then the cost will be even greater, our immortal brew is now very difficult to sell to all parts of the Han Dynasty, and can only be sold to the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and the income is only five or six hundred thousand yuan per month, which is completely beyond our means."

As soon as the road was built, Zhang Zhao, the chief manager, came to cry poor.

Zhang Yu also recruited a large number of displaced people, and these displaced people also needed to be resettled.

A big mess needs money, a lot of money.

Zhang Yu also has a big head.

At present, there is a funding gap of hundreds of thousands a month.

This has to be exchanged for points, and it also costs hundreds of thousands of points.

Using hundreds of thousands of points to exchange copper coins and food, Zhang Yu was a little reluctant.

"Salt, yes, we still have a lot of salt, as long as we find a way to sell the salt, we can solve it." 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 the smuggling situation.

Zhang Yu did not hesitate, and immediately asked Guo Jia to arrange it.

Guo Jia was specially arranged to smuggle salt, there is no war in the territory at present, and his ability to deal with internal affairs is not very high, so let him do this.

"It's still too slow to make money, and it's not so fast for salt to spread." Zhang Yu thought.

"Rob." A thought flashed through Zhang Yu's mind.

When I went to Jizhou to grab money, I robbed tens of millions.

Now, of course, it is impossible to be as crazy as before, and directly grab a large amount of money.

But now the whole Han is full of bandits, and where there are bandits, there is a chance to make a fortune.

Why are there so many bandits?

There are also reasons for Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu used the system to conjure up nearly 10 million people, and some of these people became bandits.

Therefore, now it can be said that it is like a bandit.

Zhang Yu decided to send another army out to suppress the bandits.

The territory is safe for now.

In a safe corner, there are not many places that can attack Huiji County.

Therefore, Zhang Yu planned to leave 3,000 in the territory, and the remaining 7,000 all went out.

Make a plan.

Several generals went out with their troops.

Zhang Yu also wanted to go out, but he was still needed for many things, so he stayed to watch the house.

Several generals advanced along the banks of the Yangtze River.

The first is to make some extra money, and the second is to find out the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Two teams set out, and then divided into a team of 1,000 people, led by several generals.

They cleared all the way, and soon cleared out many bandits along the road.

At the same time, the bandits were slaughtered, and some people and property were also sent back.

After another two months, the territory exploded again.

On this day, Zhang Yu was looking at the statistical reports of various places in the Taishou Mansion.

"Look, my lord, we succeeded, we succeeded." Zhang Zhao walked in excitedly and said as he spoke.

Zhang Yu had already seen the book in Zhang Zhao's hand.

That's right, what excites Zhang Zhao is the book in his hand.

The paper was produced, and of course Zhang Yu had to get the movable type printing out.

This is a book that Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to arrange for someone to produce.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's another way to make money." Flipping through the Analects in his hand, Zhang Yu said happily.

"Lord, this book is not only very light, but also has clear handwriting, and the price is cheap, and the bamboo slips that we print hundreds of copies are not as expensive as one." Zhang Zhao said excitedly.

Zhang Zhao was very excited, he was an intellectual after all.

When I read this book, I was inevitably very excited.

Zhang Zhao was excited because of the significance of cultural transmission represented behind this book, and Zhang Yu was excited because he would definitely be famous through the ages if he got out of the paper book.

What makes Zhang Yu even more excited is that he can make a fortune again, and the financial crisis of the territory can be alleviated.

"Zibu, I've worked hard these days, print a few more books, one batch of each, and I'll personally bring them to Luoyang to sell them in a few days." Zhang Yu said.

Selling books generally doesn't allow Zhang Yu to sell them in person, but this time it's different.

Zhang Yu wants to go to the event in person, do the market, and make the books popular.

In addition, Zhang Yu is going to get some books and come back.

During the Three Kingdoms period, books were monopolized by the family, and their books would not be borrowed.

The books in Zhang Yu's hands are all stored by the Xiang family, and the types are limited.

Zhang Yu also didn't want many books to be destroyed in the war.

So he's going to get some books back.

"Rest assured, the existing books in our hands 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, movable type printing, the technology is not difficult, and the operation is also very fast, and 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 500 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 brew.

In addition, I did not forget Queen He.

Anyway, last time, Zhang Yu didn't see Queen He, but just asked people to hand over the items.

This time, I have to meet the queen, deepen my relationship with the queen, and ask He Jin not to come to him for trouble.

With a variety of purposes, Zhang Yu set off again with the team.

Not long after departure, after entering Wu County, you can see the vigorous road construction army, and there are many such road construction troops.

Zhang Yu led the team for more than ten days, and it was very smooth in the ten days, and he also insisted on several road construction points.

That night, Zhang Yu and the others had just been stationed in the wilderness not long ago.

"My lord, there are signs of large-scale human activity ahead, and the situation is unknown." A scout came back and reported.

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Send a few more people out and order the soldiers to guard the camp." ”

Every day when they were stationed, Zhang Yu would be more careful, and they were within his own exploration range for several miles around, but this was the first time they had encountered a situation.

This time, Zhang Yu came out without bringing a single general, because they all had tasks and went out to suppress bandits.

Half an hour later, a soldier arrived.

"Lord, the investigation is clear, there is a group of more than 3,000 bandits who want to attack our road construction team." The soldier reported.

"What?" Zhang Yu was taken aback, and said badly: "The road construction team is not protected by the army, and it is very dangerous. ”

"Order the soldiers to prepare for battle, and send scouts out to contact the surrounding teams of our army." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu found traces left by his army on the road, and Zhang Yu judged that there must be their own people around.

Five hundred soldiers, quickly ready for battle.

Under the cover of night, five hundred soldiers touched in the direction of the bandits.

"If you dare to rob the road construction team, you can be regarded as hitting the muzzle of the gun." Zhang Yu said as he walked.
