Chapter 1187: The Effect of Opium

Zhang Zhao stayed in the disaster area for more than a month, and the calm here has long been restored, and since it is on the edge of the Yangtze River, it has recovered quickly.

This is the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, the economy is developed, and some people are relatively easy to find fire.

Here, Zhang Zhao mobilized a large amount of resources to provide relief through work, opened a new road for the disaster victims to repair, and organized the militia and retired soldiers at the same time.

Zhang Zhao wrote a letter to Zhang Yu and recommended Chen Wu, Chen Wu became the chief officer of the county, temporarily dealing with the construction of the rescue team, he is also a soldier, and he gets along well with these retired soldiers, some of which are still his old departments.

And after Zhang Yu learned about this in the capital, he knew more news.

"This is Zhang Zhao's suggestion, and I mean to immediately promote the retirement of 300,000 troops."

Zhang Yu showed Zhang Zhao's letter to the cabinet, and after several people read it, they all fell silent.

Previously, they opposed Zhang Yu's system, retiring a certain number of soldiers every year, or letting some people train in the army for two years.

These retired troops are a huge hidden danger.

But now it seems that this is two-sided, as long as the work is done well, they are a big help.

The Cabinet began to discuss the main need to formulate some preventive system, which is good evidence now, but will there be any changes in a few years.

The cabinet still has doubts about Zhang Yu's system, but at this point, no one can stop it if it continues to advance.

Zhang Yu ordered the army to arrange for 300,000 people to retire in an orderly manner, and at the same time recruited another 300,000 people, and next year will continue to retire 100,000 and recruit 100,000 people.

Some recruits serve for two years, some for three years, after which they are scheduled to retire.

Only with the replacement of old and new blood will the army be healthier.

In this way, Zhang Yu and they must pay attention to the training of officers.

Zhang Yu plans to personally promote a group of students from colleges and universities to also enter the army, serve for two or three years, and then a group of people stay.

These people have been tempered by the army, and their lives will also undergo great changes.

The formulation of a system began to be formulated.

Zhang Yu has been paying attention.

After Zhang Zhao came back, Zhang Yu transferred Chen Gong and Tian Feng out of the capital and asked them to go to various places.

The cabinet can't stay in the capital all the time, and it also needs to travel around the country to understand the specific contents.

If you don't feel the system and policies you have formulated yourself, you don't know how much of a role the system has played.

Zhang Yu has been secretly pushing the canal, and after the students of the School of Engineering and the professor finished surveying, Zhang Yu started in several places at the same time.

Thousands of miles from north to south, Zhang Yu recruited thousands of people every two hundred miles, and five places started at the same time, and began to dig through slowly.

Thousands of people, very easy to manage, there will be no chaos, compared to the road construction brigade, they are not at all inconspicuous.

A few months passed, and the innovations went relatively smoothly.

Zhang Yu has redivided the three eastern provinces, as well as Jizhou and other places.

The three eastern provinces have also completed the renovation of some counties and cities.

This is very important, the province can set aside a part of the funds, and there are corresponding funds.

At that time, we can focus on the development of some places and some projects.

The same is true for counties and cities.

In this way, it is very beneficial to local development.

The former officials, although they were scholars, were actually a group of people who were stupid readers, and they didn't have much ability.

When they go to the place, they have to be responsible for everything, and they don't understand it, and in the end, it's just good not to have an accident.

It's different now, Zhang Yu is the emperor, he has cultivated a large number of talents, these are basic talents, and when governing the world, these basic talents are very, very important.

Several innovations, many results.

Today, Shanghai, with a population of 300,000, is a very important county.

Zhang Yu has officially promulgated the holy decree to upgrade Shanghai to a municipal level, which is now equivalent to the municipal level, and when it is further developed, it will be a municipality directly under the central government and a provincial level.

This is a matter of time, and Guangdong, now it has a lot of potential, with overseas advantages, it is developing very fast.

After nearly a year of development, the empire's strength has risen rapidly.

Zhang Yu began to calculate military matters again.

It has been determined that the Roman Empire in the West has begun to prepare, and the vanguard army has already set out.

The Roman Empire was strong, but it did not dare to advance, and at this time it only sent the vanguard over.

Xi Zhicai has returned to the capital, and Chang'an and Luoyang Zhuge Liang are in charge at this time.

All the undertakings of the empire are going very well, the national strength is strong, and Zhang Yu once again convened the cabinet.

This time in the cabinet, Chen Gong and Tian Feng were outside and did not come back, and the other six cabinet members were there.

"After a year of preparation, militarily, we have achieved a great advantage, although the number of troops has not increased, but in terms of combat strength, it has greatly improved."

"In particular, we have improved the allocation of logistics, and there is no need to mobilize grain, grass, weapons and equipment on a large scale for two years."

When Zhang Yu got the news, Rome sent more than 20,000 people over, which was considered the vanguard.

"Fengxiao, let's talk about the situation first, how is our opium program going?"

Guo Jia nodded, this is something he has been pushing.

"Opium, since the beginning of this year, we have sold millions of silver coins, which has brought great benefits to the empire, we don't know on the side of the Roman Empire, and on the side of Shuchuan, there is news that Liu Bei has been infected with opium."

Opium, once it is confected, is very troublesome.

Zhang Yu said: "Continue to infiltrate, it is best to let the high-level of Shuchuan, or key people control it, after a period of time, only we have opium, if they don't cooperate, there will be no opium, let them first sell out the information that has little value, and then slowly enlarge it, and corrupt them little by little." ”

Zhang Yu knew that he had to corrode slowly, and he couldn't be impatient now, and he couldn't let them find out.

After they find out, it will be too late, and then Zhang Yu will use thunderous means to solve the matter.

The infiltration plan went very well, Zhang Yu continued to advance, and the others they did were very covert and careful.

Identify the targets of the corrosion, and then look for opportunities to offer opium, usually for therapeutic purposes.

Corrupting Liu Bei, that is, once Liu Bei was sick, and when he was treated, someone offered this thing.

This is called Fushou ointment, the word Fushou can be misunderstood, it is actually poison, eating it will only die early, and Fushou wool.

"Very good, make a good plan, step up, the current idea is to focus on corroding the bottom, the key position."

"After a certain extent, we should focus on corroding the high-rise, and we must be very careful about corroding the high-rise."

Corrosion of the bottom layer, one or two problems, will not be noticed.

But if there is a problem at the top level, one person may be thoroughly investigated, of course, Zhang Yu and they have also formulated relevant emergency responses.

Now they don't know the medicinal properties of this Fushou ointment, and if something goes wrong in time, they won't think about it right away, so they have to have cover.
