Grain and grass are definitely strategic materials, and these people who dare to smuggle grain and grass must be punished.

It's good that Zhang Yu didn't arrest anyone.

However, some unlucky people don't actually make much money, because if they are caught, they will have to confiscate their grain and grass and pay huge fines.

Guo Jia's fine is not a penalty for how much he earns, but after estimation, he directly fined them for a year's income.

At this time, Cao Cao was very short of grain and grass, and he bought a lot from Sun Ce, but some of them were burned by Zhao Yun.

The large shortage forced Cao Cao to buy grain and grass everywhere.

The merchants in Jiangdong were sensitive to business opportunities, and the grain and grass transported to Cao Cao could be sold by two or three times, which made many people take risks.

Zhang Yu had previously issued a decree that all kinds of strategic materials could not be sold to the outside world during wartime.

And this grain and grass is undoubtedly a strategic material.

Guo Jia saw that Zhang Yu agreed, so he said: "Lord, according to the intelligence of his subordinates, this Cao Cao has a huge gap in grain and grass, and we have smuggled a large amount of it, and he will definitely receive the news soon and know the source of grain and grass." ”

Cao Cao is not a fool, suddenly there are so many smuggled grains and grass, it is strange that he does not investigate the source.

With this investigation, he was able to know that these grains and grasses were sold by Zhang Yu.

"It doesn't matter, our grain and grass in Jiangdong are only sold to him through smuggling channels, and if anyone comes to them, they will ignore it."

Zhang Yu just wants to trap Cao Cao, I have food, but only through smuggling channels.

The price of this smuggling is naturally different from the price of normal trade.

Zhang Yu made his money in this way, and in this way, Zhang Yu can really make a lot of money.

At this time, Zhang Yu handed it over to Guo Jia to arrange.

Although Zhang Yu also fought for many years, the land fat in Jiangdong was very stable, the people could live in peace, and there was a lot of grain after several years of hoarding.

Koto is the land of fish and rice, and there is never a shortage of food.

found another source of income, and Zhang Yu's pressure was suddenly reduced a lot.

In the next two days, Zhang Yu finally worked out a more detailed financing plan.

After a few days, Zhang Yu held a banquet in the palace and invited more than 100 merchants.

They are all rich masters in their hands, and 80% of them are still upstarts who rose after Zhang Yu became the ruler of Jiangdong.

In the Age of Discovery, they came out on top and made a lot of money.

With this kind of reasonable income, Zhang Yu will naturally protect it.

The prosperity of Koto still depends on them.

This time there were a lot of people, and they were all looking forward to it.

The banquet was very joyful, everyone was very comfortable, and the banquet took the opportunity to meet more people and expand more contacts.

They are businessmen and can enjoy a very good life, but Zhang Yu will not give them much power, and will not let them extend their tentacles to the government, but he does not devalue their status, and businessmen still have a high status in Jiangdong.

No one dares to oppress, no one dares to blackmail.

After the banquet, getting to the point, Zhang Yu met them in the main hall.

Everyone didn't dare to drink too much, and even many people didn't drink either, just to keep a clear head, and tonight's events might be important to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe everyone knows what they meant, and this king will explain it again here."

"In the first case, we can do something anticipatory and compensate if something unexpected happens."

"The second type..."

"The third..."

Zhang Yu explained in detail the three ways to participate, and everyone was thinking about it.

The second is undoubtedly the most conservative and risk-free.

Lend money to Zhang Yu and give 7% interest a year, which is a very good income.

After Zhang Yu finished explaining, he let everyone think.

A few people formed a small group and began to discuss.

"Lao Chen, what do you want to vote for?"

"I think it's better to take care of the first and second plan, I can't take care of a bunch of businesses in Jiangdong, and I have some spare money."

A businessman on the side glanced at the two of them with disdain and said, "You stupid, is this Qingzhou model new?" ”

Everyone was confused for a while, but it was Lao Zheng who spoke, and he had a certain prestige among them, so another person said, "New, so what? ”

"This new model is right, if you can make money this time, you will definitely be able to make money next time, we go first, find out the rules, understand what is good to earn, and the most money next time is definitely us." That Lao Zheng began to speak.

Everyone was confused for a while, and the conservative old Chen said: "Where is there any next time." ”

Lao Zheng said with disdain again: "Hmph, next time, not only next time, but also next time, how many cities are there in the entire several states of China." ”

"Hiss~"

Everyone suddenly understood and gasped.

This Zhang Yu will gather a group of them to carry out large-scale construction when he hits a new state, and if Zhang Yu lays more territory in the future.

Then they are afraid that they will not have a chance, if they cooperate with Zhang Yu for the first time, Zhang Yu will definitely not forget them in the future.

At the same time, they go in first, even if they don't make money the first time, when they learn more things, there is an opportunity to make money.

Everyone's hearts were hot, thinking that even if they lost money this time, they would follow Zhang Yu.

In the future, they will go to the whole of China.

Under Lao Zheng's reminder, several people felt that they had to follow Zhang Yu.

"I don't have much money, this time I plan to participate in the construction of the city, invest two million, and see what benefits the city can be built when the time comes, but the prince also said that he will not announce the income plan until we invest in the city." Lao Zheng said.

"In addition, I will return a sum of money next month, and then we will cooperate in the third way. Leaving Jiangdong's business to my family to take care of, I personally went to Qingzhou to investigate. ”

Lao Zheng analyzed, and several people felt that there was a future for following Zhang Yugan.

Now that Zhang Yu's strength has appeared, he is now sitting in the land of Sanzhou, and as merchants or families in Jiangdong, they know more about the situation overseas.

Even if all the domestic ones are lost, and there are huge overseas, Zhang Yu is already invincible, why don't you follow him with all your heart.

Lao Zheng and a few of them made a decision, and many other small groups also made a decision.

Of course, the decisions were different, some conservative, some radical, but both were more optimistic.

Some choose the second way, the 7% interest may not be as much as they earn, but they feel that they have to show their faces in front of Zhang Yu, even if Zhang Yu borrows them money in vain.

More than 100 people did not choose not to invest, of course they chose not to invest, and it is estimated that they will not dare to come tonight.

After discussing for more than half an hour, Zhang Zhao asked them to stop and distribute paper and pen and ink at the same time.

This is, of course, asking them to fill in the projects and quotas they have invested in.

For the third project, there is no need to fill in the investment project and quota, just record it, but they should contact Zhang Zhao as soon as possible to discuss the investment direction.

Zhang Zhao will provide projects with preferential treatments, generally construction projects, projects that are helpful to stabilize Qingzhou, and other projects to make a fortune, they will look for them themselves.
