Chapter 714: Provoking a war
Zhang Yu is very concerned about this, and the overseas part is his strategic priority, so he first let the crew rest well, and then go to meet them.
Zhang Yu is cultivating adventurers, and in Chinese civilization, adventure is speculation and is despised.
And Zhang Yu opened the Age of Global Discovery, and what he wanted was a group of adventurers.
Zhang Yu wants to immigrate to Australia, which requires the support of a large amount of money, and without financial support, nothing can be done.
Immigrating to Australia requires a lot of money, building a ship, and bringing a lot of supplies.
At the same time, it is also necessary to pay a high settling-in allowance to the crew, because if you go, you may not be able to come back.
In addition, those who immigrated to the past also have to give a large amount of money, otherwise who would want to leave their homeland to go overseas.
"It's time to set up an overseas fund."
Zhang Yu's calculations cost tens of millions of dollars in the early stage alone.
Five Zheng He's treasure ships are necessary, and tens of thousands of craftsmen must be mobilized to build five large ships alone.
And it will affect the progress of Zhang Yu's other projects.
"How do you raise this money?" Zhang Yu became distressed.
Because the previous income has been planned, if the plan is disrupted, the impact is a series.
Therefore, Zhang Yu wants to find new money and can't occupy the previous money.
"Let's take one step at a time, and first embezzle the money that is not needed for the time being." After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Yu didn't have any good way.
Zhang Yu ordered that the five Zheng He treasure ships to be built should speed up the progress, and at the same time, after the original eight Zheng He treasure ships completed the task, five of them would be mobilized to the port for maintenance.
According to Zhang Yu's plan, it will take at least three months or even half a year to prepare for Australia again.
This time, in addition to bringing necessary supplies, I also had to bring seeds, tools, books, and deploy all kinds of talents.
Ordinary people can say that they can recruit a group of displaced people, but there are no in Jiangdong, and there are many people in other places who want to survive.
But other talents are difficult to find, not because there are no talents, but because there are no talents who are willing to go to sea.
After dealing with these things, Zhang Yu can also breathe a sigh of relief.
Next, Zhang Yu only needs to give an order, and then let his subordinates carry it out.
For example, Jiangdong's number of soldiers and horses is 500,000, and his subordinates will naturally recruit soldiers and horses and train soldiers.
For example, if Zhang Yu wants to upgrade the warship and expand the navy to 50,000, someone will naturally carry it out.
In addition, junior colleges continue to cover more places.
A decision, Zhang Yu only needs to give an order.
At this time, Zhang Zhao had already gathered a group of people and began to prepare for the city that was simply new.
According to Zhang Yu's plan, this city is definitely a super metropolis, and the million-level Luoyang can no longer satisfy Zhang Yu's appetite.
In the future, this will be the seat of the royal palace, and it will take over the important task of the north and south.
Zhang Yu also participated in the planning of the new city, the construction of the new city is very important, military defense is not the focus, but it cannot be without.
However, Zhang Yu is still worried about money, with a deficit of tens of millions, and if he wants to make Australia travel as soon as possible, he must pay a certain price.
"As soon as the cannon goes off, ten thousand taels of gold, do you want to do something?"
Zhang Yu thought that if you want to make money, the fastest way is to sell arms, and other commodities have to be turnover, and it is impossible to make money quickly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly brought Guo Jia over.
"Fengxiao, where is it easy to break out in war, we have to do something." As soon as Guo Jia came, Zhang Yu briefly explained his intentions.
Guo Jia nodded, and then said: "Lord, now Cao Cao is the easiest to break out into war with others, he is surrounded by enemies, including Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Li Dao and Zhang Xiu. ”
Zhang Yu thought about it, Li Dao should not have appeared in Luoyang at all in history, but now he is in Luoyang.
In addition, at this time in history, Cao Cao should have fought with Zhang Xiu, and Cao Ang also had to die in this war.
Now that Zhang Yu is in chaos, the war between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu has not broken out, and this Cao Ang is safe and sound in Jiangdong.
"Okay, let's start from these aspects and provoke a war." Zhang Yu said.
Guo Jia didn't respond, seeing that Zhang Yu was so excited, he didn't dare to say anything directly.
However, seeing Zhang Yu enjoying himself there, Guo Jia had to be reminded.
"My lord, we are so far away from them, and we don't trust each other, it's hard to do it." Guo Jia said.
"The ancients are the ancients, even if they are extremely smart, but they don't have a thousand-year-old thinking." Zhang Yu secretly felt proud in his heart.
"Haha, it's not easy to provoke a war, I'll let it out tomorrow, I'm going to sell weapons, all at a twenty percent discount, even heavy armor. Then focus on Yuan Shu, Li Dao, Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, and Cao Cao to sell them, I don't believe that this Cao Cao can sit still. Zhang Yu said.
"Wonderful, lord, just because they don't trust each other, one party buys it, and the others are afraid that they have to buy it, once this kind of emotion is backlogged, then the war will naturally break out."
"Especially selling to Cao Cao is a stroke of genius, they may not have bought it before, but when they think that Cao Cao may also buy it, they are even more afraid."
Cao Cao is the strongest and most aggressive, if Cao Cao also buys equipment, then others are naturally afraid and will naturally look for Zhang Yu to buy it.
When the time comes, there will be an equipment race, and when it reaches a certain point, war will naturally break out.
Zhang Yu wanted to use this method to provoke a war.
"My lord, but if they have smart people, I'm afraid they won't be fooled." Guo Jia said.
Zhang Yu's plan is considered a yang scheme, although it is not easy to solve, but if someone comes forward to make peace and the collective is not fooled, it will be difficult to do.
"It doesn't matter, it's man-made, this time the weapons and equipment are open for sale, and the price should be low, and it is good to increase the cost by five percent, and the heavy equipment is limited, just 20,000 sets, until they are sold out."
Ordinary weapons, in wartime, are sold several times, but the heavily armored Zhang Yu has never been sold.
Everyone knows that there is a heavy infantry in Jiangdong, which has an unparalleled defense and once shined.
And in Youzhou, there is also a heavy cavalry, which is also invincible.
But heavy armor is too expensive, and the average prince really can't afford it.
They can't afford to use it themselves, but they're afraid of others using it.
Zhang Yu is limited to 20,000 sets, and others are afraid of being bought by opponents.
Guo Jia understood all of Zhang Yu's strategy, and then quickly went to implement it.
That's the benefit of a senior talent, who has a strong understanding and handles a lot of details well.
Zhang Yu explained his plan clearly, and Guo Jia could operate it very well.
Guo Jia immediately sent several people, some to deliver the letter openly, and some to spread the news privately.
Zhang Yu has a large number of weapons to sell, which is something that everyone knows.
Although there are no major wars now, the forces of all sides are intertwined, and it is easy for a big war to break out.
And Zhang Yu wants to speed up this process.
The news spread, and the princes moved.
