"What's so beautiful, the little woman is just a prisoner under you, General Zhang can say whatever he wants at any time, and the little woman just does it." Sun Shangxiang said coldly.

Zhang Yu never took Sun Shangxiang as a hostage, and he just said it casually at the beginning.

Hostages or something, in Zhang Yu's opinion, it is useless at all, the most important thing is strength.

As long as the strength is enough, he is not afraid that Sun Ce will not pay back.

Similarly, if he doesn't have the strength, what if he lets Sun Ce be a hostage?

"Haha, I didn't take you hostage, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, of course I never sent anyone to spy on you." Zhang Yu said.

Sun Shangxiang was silent, how could she not care about the identity of the hostage, she cared very much.

Zhang Yu saw the resistance in Sun Shangxiang's heart, so he said: "Okay, don't bother you, you can mention anything you need, I will try my best to help you, in other words, if your brother hadn't attacked me first, I would still be close friends with your father at the beginning." ”

Sun Shangxiang understood that Zhang Yu helped Sun Jian a lot at the beginning, and also helped Sun Ce a lot, and their Sun family was able to gain a foothold in Changsha, and Zhang Yu helped a lot.

It was also Sun Ce who attacked Zhang Yu first, trying to destroy Zhang Yu, and provoked Zhang Yu to retaliate.

"Can you really ask for it?" At this time, Sun Shangxiang spoke.

"Of course you can, if you can help, you will definitely help." Zhang Yu said.

"I want to go to school." Sun Shangxiang said.

Zhang Yu scratched his head strangely, and then said: "I have never forbidden any female academy not to go to school in the academy, if you go, no one should dare to stop you, right?" ”

"But I'm a hostage, and no one dares to teach me." Sun Shangxiang said.

It turned out that for such a reason, Zhang Yu also had a bit of a headache.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I'll personally give you the identity of a student, and the student has the right to go to any school to listen to the class." ”

It is estimated that Zhang Yu can help here, because if many teachers are unwilling to teach, then Zhang Yu is also helpless, and he can't force them to teach Sun Shangxiang.

After all, there is still a great prejudice against women in this era, and Zhang Yu didn't want to change this thinking all at once.

Sun Shangxiang nodded silently, and then whispered thank you.

Zhang Yu did not continue to stay, but continued to do his own thing.

This time, let the masters in the academy hold an open class, but he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.

Zhang Yu turned around, recorded the areas that needed to be rectified, and then went to the teachers of the academy.

Zhang Yu and they determined the members of the open class.

This time, Zhang Yu wants to make a big one, and he will not only talk about Chinese studies.

Maybe Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and most people only talk about the classics and the scriptures, but Zhang Yu wants to tell them more.

Even if they are not interested, even if it is regarded as miscellaneous, Zhang Yu has to talk about it, and it is good to attract some interested people.

Zhang Yu stayed in the academy for several days, met Cai Yan twice, and the two chatted for a long time like friends, and neither of them talked about the upcoming wedding.

The two talked a lot of poems, but fortunately, Zhang Yu has a strong memory and has the knowledge of later generations, so he can also cope with the past.

Zhang Yu's memory is so strong because it has been strengthened several times.

After the affairs of the academy were settled, Zhang Yu went back.

After Zhang Yu left, many places in the academy began to be rectified.

The first place to be rectified was the two pavilions in the college, all the facilities around the pavilions were demolished and planted with flowers and plants.

Zhang Yu wanted to talk about the two large pavilions arranged into the master's school, and let Lu Zhi and Cai Yong give lectures in the pavilion.

After getting these, Zhang Yu went back.

After going back, Zhang Yu has been paying attention to the dynamics of the whole world.

First of all, Zhang Yu is very concerned about his neighbor Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu found the person in charge of intelligence.

"What do I want you to be concerned about?" Zhang Yu asked in his study.

The person in charge of intelligence, Zhang Yu asked him to set up a special team to investigate the situation of the money shortage in Xuzhou.

"Lord, as you expected, the people of Xuzhou don't have much copper money to use, not only them, according to the knowledge of their subordinates, Xuzhou does have a serious money shortage, and even Xuzhou's taxes are much less."

Xuzhou's tax revenue has decreased a lot, but Tao Qian didn't notice it, and thought it was because of the war.

In fact, there was a large shortage of money in the entire Han Dynasty, and the simple reason was that the population suddenly skyrocketed, and then the coins did not grow much.

Another reason is that money is becoming more and more concentrated in the family, and the money in the hands of the people is getting less and less.

There is so much money, if the average person can have ten copper coins, now the population has increased several times, and the average is one copper coin.

Then most of the money is in the hands of the family, and the coins in the hands of the common people may have an average of only one copper coin.

In this way, the transaction is very inconvenient.

Other places may be fine, but not in Jiangdong and Liaodong, because the economy is active under Zhang Yu's rule, and copper coins must be available.

Tao Qian of Xuzhou, along with the top leaders, did not find that there was a serious money shortage among the people, and many people had to barter.

There is a lot of trouble in the middle, you may want to buy a salt, but you don't have money to exchange it for food, but the price of food has to be lowered slightly, which makes the people suffer.

Moreover, bartering requires both parties to meet the needs, which increases the difficulty of the transaction.

The government collects taxes, and the people have no copper money in their hands, so they can only pay other things.

In the official mansion, it is also very inconvenient to harvest a lot of sweet potatoes.

"Well, don't think that there will be no financial crisis in ancient times, when the people's money is too small and the transaction is difficult, there will also be various problems." Zhang Yu said after listening to the report.

In general, there was a money shortage in the entire Han Dynasty, the most serious being Xuzhou, followed by Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is rich, and the people are relatively well-off, but because Zhang Yu dumped a large number of goods there, he collected a large amount of copper coins, and a lot of copper coins were earned by Cai Mao, so there will be a money shortage in Jingzhou.

And the third money shortage is Zhang Yu's territory, because Zhang Yu's economy is too active and needs a lot of copper money.

But fortunately, Zhang Yu's ability to absorb gold is strong, and he earns a lot of copper money from the outside.

Now that copper coins are more abundant, Zhang Yu spends copper coins through various channels, so that the copper coins in the hands of the people gradually increase.

Today, Zhang Yu has minted a large number of coins, and the money shortage can be solved.

"I'm looking forward to what kind of problems would have arisen in ancient times when there was a money shortage." After listening to the report, Zhang Yu said.

The market in Xuzhou is completely open to Zhang Yu, and some private businessmen have gradually infiltrated Xuzhou, but they are still small.

Zhang Yu's mercantile policy has not been favored, and although Zhang Yu's rule is wealthy, it is still not favored.

But if someone studies deeply, they will find that Zhang Yu is right to be heavy on business, but he has not relaxed at all in agriculture, and his investment is greater than anyone else.
