Zhang Zhao was excited.

The people of Jiangdong support Zhang Yu so much, many things are easy to do, and he dares to do it.

Money is easy to do, and the measures were quickly implemented.

Not long after Zhang Zhao left, Guo Jia came.

Zhang Zhao was in charge of internal affairs, while Guo Jia was in charge of military affairs and intelligence.

"My lord, this is a recent summary of intelligence." Guo Jia came in and handed a few materials to Zhang Yu.

"Tell me what's important." Zhang Yu took the materials and put them aside and said.

Guo Jia sat down opposite Zhang Yu, and then said, "There is nothing big in Jiangdong, some small miscellaneous fish will be cleaned up when they are found." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, and Guo Jia continued to report: "In addition to Sun Ce's side has been recruiting soldiers and horses, it is not a big deal to expand his strength, and Yuan Shu is too, but Yuan Shu is very radical, and after becoming emperor, he formed his own court according to the appearance of the Han Dynasty. ”

Yuan Shu was very radical and began to levy two million soldiers.

Two million, part of which was directly sent by the family to fill the number, and part of it was recruited from the people.

Two million, it's no problem with so many people now, the key is how to raise these two million troops.

One third had finished weapons and armor, one third had weapons, and one third held sticks.

As for the officers, then directly use veterans to lead them and disperse tens of thousands of veterans.

In this way, there were very few veterans in Yuan Shu's army.

"With such an army, I'm afraid there won't be much combat effectiveness." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

Guo Jia focused on assessing Cao Cao's situation, Cao Cao's life was not easy after moving the capital, and he had to vigorously expand his army to deal with threats from all sides.

"Lord, according to the judgment, Cao Cao may launch an attack within two months." Guo Jia said.

Now that it's summer, after two months, the weather will be a little cooler, and it will be a good time to send troops.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, we will prepare within a month, and we will take the initiative when the time comes." ”

Guo Jia went back, and Zhang Yu returned to his busy state.

Zhang Yu is indeed very busy and has a lot of things to plan.

Jiangdong, Liaodong, Southeast, South China, and Dongying.

Everything in each place has to be planned, so it's still very draining.

After Guo Jia left, he came back soon after.

"Lord, through this borrowing of money, a problem has been exposed, it is nothing now, and it will be difficult to do it in the future." Guo Jia said.

"Say."

Guo Jia sat down again, and then said: "Lord, you should take a higher official position by yourself, now your official position is still too guarded, and we have so many counties in Jiangdong and Youzhou, which buries a lot of inconvenience, so deal with it as soon as possible." Now that the entire Youzhou is under our control, the lord can completely lead the Youzhou pastor. ”

This is indeed a problem, and Zhang Yu must consider it carefully.

"Okay, I'll think about this matter and settle it in the near future." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia left.

Zhang Yu really has to consider this problem, he can't have the same official position as himself, although he still has the position of a second-grade general, and the title of the marquis, but his subordinates are at the same level as him in terms of civilian positions, which is really very difficult.

"Looking for Cao Cao's officials? The prime minister and the general are here, what official do I want? Make a three-public pawn? Zhang Yu thought.

"Haha, this question gives Cao Cao a headache, if you are not satisfied...... Hey. ”

Zhang Yu wants to find trouble with Cao Cao again, he has the emperor in his hands, of course he should take on more things.

So, Zhang Yu picked up paper and pen and wrote.

This letter was addressed to Emperor Liu Xie, to the effect that he had made great contributions, and the Xiongnu and Xianbei fled in all directions, killing hundreds of thousands of enemies.

Then the conversation changed and said that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had no half an inch of merit, but they were in a high position, how could this emperor do things so unfairly, how dare he be the son of heaven?

This letter was written very explicitly, and directly scolded Liu Xie.

scolding Liu Xie on the surface is actually putting pressure on Cao Cao.

Don't give it to high-ranking officials? Not satisfied?

That's good, you're not the emperor right.

Zhang Yu can be said to have dug a pit for Cao Cao again.

After the pit is dug, the news spreads out, and it is directly spread through "non-governmental" channels.

After getting these things done, Zhang Yu also began to pay attention to other things.

Since he wants a higher position, Zhang Yu also has to consider the issue of the "capital".

First of all, Zhang Yu planned to place the seat of Youzhou in Beiping in the future, which was the choice to set up the capital after hundreds of years of verification.

Zhang Yu is thinking about whether Nanjing or Shanghai is better.

These two places have not been built yet, and if they are confirmed, then Zhang Yu will have to carry out city building activities.

Youzhou Zhang Yu has already started planning, but he has no money at the moment, so he is just leveling the land, and if he really wants to build a city, he doesn't know when he will have to wait.

In the south, Shanghai's wharf has been able to have a certain scale, and many people have gathered there.

As for the rest, Zhang Yu doesn't think about it if he has no money at present.

The question of official position is like this first, the key is to see what Cao Cao thinks, and whether he dares to give him an official position.

If the official position given by Cao Cao is too low, then it will not match Zhang Yu's merits at that time, and the people in the world will feel that the emperor does not distinguish between right and wrong.

This is even more confirming the fact that the former faint monarch and traitorous ministers were confirmed.

Zhang Yu sent out the paperwork, and then began to prepare for borrowing money from these merchants.

The next night.

The house is brightly lit.

Zhang Yu invited them to a banquet, and many people already knew Zhang Yu's purpose.

Many people know that Zhang Yu is short of money, and of course they want to get money from a group of rich people.

Zhang Yu borrowed money wantonly, and did not hesitate to find ordinary people to borrow money, and this time he came to them, he must have borrowed money from them.

Some people moved their minds, saying that on Zhang Yu's territory, it would not work without borrowing money, but more people just wanted to mean it.

In the Taishou Mansion, the invitees arrived one after another.

Zhang Zhao was in charge of the reception, and the Jiangdong governor came out to receive them, which was enough to save face.

There were more than 300 people coming, and this time it was a gathering of the wealthy in Jiangdong.

Of course, the richest is still the Mi family.

The Mi family was originally very rich, and after coming to Jiangdong, relying on the foundation of Xuzhou, the business was very big.

Mi Zhu is Zhang Yu's brother-in-law, and it is much easier to do things, but Zhang Yu did not give Mi Zhu any rights, but others don't see it that way, as long as Mi Zhu does not use Zhang Yu's relationship to break the law, Zhang Yu will not care.

In other words, there is also an old man of Zhang Yu, who has been in Jiangdong for a long time.

This person is Qiao Lao, although Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have not officially married Zhang Yu, everyone knows that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are Zhang Yu's people.

Qiao Lao was originally a native of Yangzhou, with a network, coupled with the good business environment in Jiangdong, which made him explode, and under his management, his assets doubled several times.

In fact, Qiao Lao was very capable, and now he can save a lot of money, and he doesn't have to spend a lot of money to support his family guards, and there is no need to consider the safety here.

Like Mi Zhu and Qiao Lao, there are many new upstarts in Jiangdong business.
