Cao Cao was distraught.

Without Yuan Shao, there is another Zhang Yu.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao's strength was strong, and the pressure on him was too great.

Now that Yuan Shao has been eliminated, this Zhang Yu jumped out again.

Zhang Yu has never had too many troops, although the two sides add up to more than a million, but they are one south and one north, and they are very far apart.

Now Cao Cao suddenly discovered that Zhang Yu was a hidden boss.

He has money in his hands and people, and once he wants to expand the army, it will not matter at all.

It is not very easy for a person who can quickly raise a large sum of 200 million dollars to equip an army.

"Merchant." Cao Cao pondered these two words repeatedly.

"Zhongde, is this merchant really that useful? Will Zhang Yu be countered by these businessmen? Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu didn't answer directly, but thought for a while and said: "Lord, some students in Jiangdong are called graduate students, led by a tutor, and several students work together on a topic. ”

Cao Cao confused Cheng Yu, and asked the merchant about it, and what Cheng Yu told him.

Cheng Yu continued: "My lord, we should also organize a group of people to specialize in Jiangdong and businessmen, otherwise we don't understand anything, and it is really difficult to make decisions." ”

Cheng Yu introduced the graduate student system to Cao Cao, and then went to find a thesis.

"It's so practical, it's so practical." Cao Cao is a person who understands, and when he reads the paper, he knows that this research method is very practical, and it is completely in accordance with the practical way.

"Ugh."

Cao Cao sighed, and then said: "When we studied Jiangdong to open the academy, Jiangdong started the imperial examination, and when we studied their imperial examination, they made such a graduate student. ”

Graduate students specialize in topics that are needed and can solve problems, which is very practical.

"Zhongde, you're right, we do have to learn this method, but we don't have the corresponding talents." Cao Cao said.

There is no way to do it, so I can only slowly figure out a way after that, whether it is stealing or digging talents.

But the immediate problem still has to be solved, Cheng Yu said: "Lord, Zhang Yu does not have the constraints of the family, but he has cultivated a group of businessmen, these businessmen are only Zhang Yu's leader, and Zhang Yu does not let them participate in or even interfere in government affairs, as long as Zhang Yu lives for a day, he can control these businessmen, as for the future, probably businessmen will also evolve into a family." ”

That's also for the future, at least as long as Zhang Yu is here, he will be completely fine.

"Looks like we're going to have to pay attention to businessmen too." Cao Cao said.

The benefits of businessmen are too obvious, they can bring a lot of wealth, and the role is too great at critical times.

Cheng Yu then analyzed: "Lord, Zhang Yu's development is too fast, so we will be left far behind, and we must think of other ways." ”

After final discussions, Cao Cao agreed to raise the status of the merchants and at the same time allow them to participate in more areas.

But Cao Cao's system, taxes, etc., could not keep up at all.

Cao Cao was studying Zhang Yu's policy, otherwise he would not be able to keep up with Zhang Yu's footsteps.

Although I don't know what Zhang Yu's financial ability is, there are many things that can be seen from the Jiangdong merchants.

Cao Cao was intensively studying Zhang Yu's policies, and Zhang Yu was also studying his new policies.

Qingzhou has begun vigorous construction.

Tai Shici recruited 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, and the food and salary of these 100,000 soldiers and horses could feed 100,000 families.

Qingzhou settled down a lot all of a sudden.

At the same time, Zhang Liao's side has opened several large projects, and now tens of thousands of workers have been recruited, and most of Qingzhou can be stabilized.

After the two policies were carried out, a huge amount of money and grain was scattered, and Qingzhou has stabilized in just two months.

The next step is to build.

The destruction of Qingzhou is still quite serious, mainly because Yuan Shao extracted too much money and soldiers, and was a bit reckless, which led to a lot of chaos in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou is not as rich as Jizhou, and it extracts too many resources to support the war, resulting in a lot of displaced people, and there are bandits everywhere, so when Zhang Yu and they control Qingzhou, Qingzhou is in chaos.

Zhang Yu was not in a hurry to go to Youzhou, Youzhou was already a mature political system, and all aspects were arranged.

"Wenyuan, the workers who built the wharf should be organized first, and the military training will be held for a few days, and there will be a group of displaced people to be sent to Kyushu Island in the next few days, and the wharf will be used up before construction."

Zhang Yu has been in Qingzhou for a few days to understand the situation in all aspects.

Zhang Liao nodded, wrote it down on the table, and then took it to the sergeant next to him to convey the order.

Zhang Liao sat on the main seat, while Zhang Yu sat on the side with a cup of tea in his hand, talking while drinking tea, very leisurely.

"An order can be issued, and after the counties issue it, within ten days of those who accept Zhao'an, they will not be encircled and suppressed, and they will promise not to kill anyone, and if they do not accept Zhao'an, they will be punished by one more degree for the crime." Zhang Yu said.

It is impossible to be exempt from punishment completely, because some people have committed heinous crimes, if these people are recruited, Zhang Yu will also let them live on the construction site for half their lives, and some minor crimes can be considered to be let go.

However, if they are allowed to send troops to suppress bandits, no matter how serious they are, they will all have to go to the construction site, and the crime will be a big one.

Zhang Liao also wrote a written order according to his words and handed it over to his subordinates to handle.

Zhang Yu stayed in Qingzhou for a few more days, and then went north to Youzhou.

Zhang Yu is gone, but Qingzhou is very lively, and there are shadows of the Jiangdong consortium everywhere.

The Koto Foundation, after going north, went everywhere to investigate.

In the beginning, their range of activities was limited, because there were many bandits in various places.

But with the extermination of the bandits, the scope of these people's activities became larger, and they searched everywhere for business opportunities.

"Haha, open a quarry here, which can be sold to the surrounding areas to build cities."

"I plan to open two teahouses first, and then collect news."

"I don't have any plans yet, but I've ordered someone to exchange three million dollars, and I'm going to take part in it when I have the chance."

"The whole Qingzhou is full of opportunities, bring over what we have in Jiangdong and what we don't have here, Qingzhou will develop in a few years, everyone must believe in Master Zhang's ability."

After several good families gathered in Qingzhou, they began to discuss.

Everyone came up with their own ideas.

Jiangdong's consortium already has a preliminary international vision, and they are influenced by Zhang Yu, and their vision is very high, and they are already looking at the whole of China and thinking with the big picture.

The Jiangdong consortium is involved, and the Youzhou consortium cannot stare dryly, they have an advantage.

Qingzhou and Youzhou are very close, there is a small part of Jizhou in the middle, but now it has also been opened, if you go directly south from Liaodong, you can go directly to the Shandong Peninsula in one day. It's very convenient.
