Zhang Yu explained a few things to Zhuge Liang.

First, build roads, from south to north, from east to west, road construction can be done without building gallop roads, and relatively simple roads can be repaired.

Second, Zhang Yu gave him more than 100 talents, and these talents should be used well.

Third, to crack down on crime, although it is far away from the Central Plains, it cannot breed too much crime and become a place where a large number of businessmen are outside the law.

Fourth, overall development.

Fifth, tax evasion, tax evasion is very serious here, and businessmen have corrupted many officials.

sixth

Zhang Yu explained a lot to Zhuge Liang and had to be entrusted with important tasks.

At the same time, Zhang Yu gave Zhuge Liang the power to call taxes, and within two years, all taxes only need to be reported to him, and all of them are left for him to use.

Moreover, if you don't have enough money, you can still ask Zhang Yu for it.

Zhang Yu gave him so much power, and also transferred him more than 10,000 troops, and the 3,000 troops he brought with him brought 500 people when he returned.

Zhuge Liang was moved, Zhang Yu trusted him so much.

docked at sea for nearly a day, chatted with Zhuge Liang for a long time, and listened to some of his measures before Zhang Yu left.

"I hope Zhuge Liang has the ability to change the state here, otherwise it will be a pity."

If Zhuge Liang can govern this place well, it will be a great political achievement in the future, and he will definitely be transferred to the center, first the minister, and then the cabinet.

Zhuge Liang is a person that Zhang Yu is optimistic about, and it is already a certain thing to give him a heavy responsibility.

Zhang Yu took a boat this time, planning to dock along the road to replenish supplies, and go all the way back to Beiping.

This time he went south to inspect in a hurry, and he didn't have time to check slowly, his focus was still on competing with the princes for hegemony.

Zhang Yu had already set his next target in the Poyang Lake area.

This place was occupied by Cao Cao, and if he was allowed to occupy it for a long time, it would be very disadvantageous, because the wealth here would allow him to recover his strength quickly.

Zhang Yu wants to unify China as soon as possible.

And then go all out against the West, so, time is running out.

Zhang Yu has already asked the cabinet to start preparing.

At this time, Zhang Yu's financial resources had recovered greatly, and a large number of assets were shipped back from overseas, which was his capital.

When Zhang Yu returned to New Beiping, the cabinet began to report to Zhang Yu.

"My lord, this time, we have cleaned up a considerable number of officials, and some officials have asked them to go back to the academy to study, and we have also promoted a group of people."

Tian Feng reported the situation in various places to Zhang Yu in detail.

This is what Zhang Yu needs.

Streamline the rule of officials while increasing efficiency.

Most of the traditional officials have done nothing, but when it comes to Zhang Yu, it is not okay to do nothing.

There is also a prominent problem, that is, the management of townships and towns, during the Qin and Han dynasties, the emperor could not manage it, and there was no way to manage it at all.

But Zhang Yu is different, he used a large number of retired soldiers to help, and used the militia organization to hit the squires and tyrants hard, these people are not as influential as in the past.

"Okay, after this adjustment, we are more cooperative internally, and I have decided to launch a campaign after spring." Zhang Yu said after listening to the report.

The Cabinet unanimously agreed that their difficult period was over, and now there is no need to continue to invest overseas, even places such as South Africa only need to ship people over for a long time, but they don't need to invest much.

There are a lot of gold mines over there, and a large amount of gold mines are brought back, which can fully make up for these expenses.

Zhang Yu is about to start a war again.

Time is running out, this Cao Cao took Luoyang, Chang'an and other regions, and became strong again.

Zhang Yu began to move troops and horses to the south, and there was a lot of grain and grass on the side, so there was no need to transport grain and grass.

The efficiency of waging war this time was very high, and there was no need to requisition people, grain and grass.

The troops can be fought when they drive over.

Spring had arrived, and Zhang Yu did not start a war immediately because he did not want to affect farming.

Although the impact of the professional army is not great, officials at all levels must cooperate, and at the same time, it also has an impact on the people around the war zone.

The clouds of war loomed again, and Cao Cao was quite worried.

In the autumn of last year, Zhang Yu ascended the throne, and then reduced taxes, so that he collected a lot less taxes this year.

If it weren't for Luoyang and Chang'an, and a batch of Guo Yan's property was confiscated, I'm afraid he would have run out of money at this time.

He had just finished dealing with internal affairs and killed a group of family landlords, and at this time Zhang Yu was about to go to war.

He had to deal with the war, and he didn't even have the ability to control the pace of the war now.

Cao Cao liked to listen to the opinions of his subordinates the most, and called all his subordinates.

"This king also plans to deal with the current matter and become the emperor, but at this time, Zhang Yu called." Cao Cao said.

At this time, Cao Cao was actually not very happy, he beat Sun Ce and occupied Shouchun, which made Sun Ce very unhappy, and it was inevitable that he would attack him when he was fighting with Zhang Yu.

"Mengde, we should repair the relationship with Sun Ce." Xu Yu said.

Fighting with Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu's strength was too strong, and Cao Cao no longer had the ability to fight on two fronts at this time, so he could only repair it.

But, how to fix it?

"Lord, we can promise to help him defeat Jingzhou, we are in the north, and he is in the south, flanking Jingzhou." Cheng Yu said.

Jia Xu said: "If it was possible before, but when Zhang Yu's soldiers pressed the realm, Sun Ce would not believe that we have the ability to help him." ”

It's embarrassing, they really don't have that strength.

But after putting forward this condition, I believe that Sun Ce will also consider it and will not use force easily.

"If there is no actual benefit, I am afraid that this matter will not be successful, and even if it is negotiated, we will not be at ease." Cao Cao said.

At this time, Man Pang proposed: "My lord, please forgive my subordinates for their courage. ”

Cao Cao saw that Manpang had something to say, so he said, "Please speak boldly." ”

"In order to show sincerity, it is nothing more than to send hostages with relatives, but let the eldest son marry the daughter of the Sun family, and let the second son be a hostage."

Man Pang said this, it is indeed very bold, if you meet some irritable and unreasonable masters, I am afraid that something will happen to Man Pang's words.

What an insult to send hostages.

Man Pang didn't dare to say that he would let Cao Ang go, Cao Pi would go, and Sun Ce would not necessarily pay for it.

"Choose a Cao woman and marry her too." Cao Cao said: "Let Pi'er personally send it over." ”

Cao Cao didn't say that Cao Pi should be a hostage, but this is actually being a hostage.

It's just to give face to each other, and it's just not so straightforward.

Zhang Yu may call at any time, and Cao Cao immediately sent someone to arrange it.

At the same time, resources were mobilized to Shouchun City, as well as Chaoxian County and Hefei City, ready to support at any time.

Both armies are mobilizing their own forces.

Zhang Yu stayed in Beiping for a few days, and then headed south again.

This time he was going to Jiangdong to prepare for an attack on Cao Cao.

A new round of war is about to begin.

The difference is that before the war began, Zhang Yu ordered all counties to recruit soldiers and horses, and this time Jizhou also played a more important role, and Zhang Yu recruited more soldiers and horses in Jizhou than other states and counties.

In this battle, Zhang Yu didn't want to stop, and planned to keep pushing it over and fighting continuously.
