After Zhang Yu went back, he asked people to protect the mountain, not to cut down trees, and at the same time asked them to build roads, and at the same time to protect the hot springs.

Zhang Yu also asked them to lay the bottom of the hot spring with stones and make some smooth pebbles.

Also, Zhang Yu asked them to build some pavilions on the mountain, but not too big, too luxurious.

Xiang Xin and Wan'er found out, so they came to find Zhang Yu.

"Husband, how can you waste it like this, we won't come often." Xiang Xin said.

"Haha, then it's okay to come often, even if we don't go, we can let others go, but there must be a place for us to dedicate it, which doesn't cost much, husband, I sit on a land of thousands of miles, can't I even have this little enjoyment." Zhang Yu said.

Xiang Xin listened and nodded, usually Zhang Yu advocates frugality, and he is indeed not extravagant, but he is very good to his wife, and he wants to give his wife the best in everything, which also makes them moved.

Xiang Xin suddenly felt that Zhang Yu was really tired from fighting outside all the year round, and it was normal for him to be absurd occasionally.

Zhang Yu accompanied Xiang Xin and Wan'er for a few days, and Lynch came to report that Zhao Hai had docked in Taiwan with a fleet.

Zhang Yu immediately rushed over.

Zhao Hai and the others went to Southeast Asia, and this time they came back early.

Zhang Yu saw Zhao Hai and them in the port, and they wanted to rest and replenish here.

As usual, they would dock here for two days.

Zhang Yu met Zhao Hai on the road.

"Meet my lord." Zhao Hai saw Zhang Yu excitedly stepped forward to pay respects.

"Zhao Hai, please, hard work, what do you gain this time." Zhang Yu said.

Zhao Hai's face darkened and said: "This time I went out, I encountered the waves, overturned a big boat, lost many horses, and we came back, but when we came back, we brought back a lot of copper and silver mines mined on the island, knowing that these were urgently needed by the lord, so I brought a few big boats." ”

Zhang Yu was also very sad when he heard that the boat capsized, and all he could do was to give a high amount of bereavement pension. But to dominate the world, there must be a price.

Zhao Hai took Zhang Yu to take a look, and indeed several large ships were loaded with a large amount of ore.

Unfortunately, no gold has been discovered yet.

However, Zhang Yu believes that there are a lot of overseas resources, and with their own development, there will be a lot of resources that can be used for development in the future.

"Zhao Hai, you have made a great contribution again, how can the ore of these big ships make tens of millions of copper coins." Zhang Yu said.

Tens of millions at a time, of course, the cost is not small, and it will take about a month to go back and forth.

Plus the cost of mining, the cost of forging.

However, in the end, there is still some money, especially now that the population is skyrocketing, and a large number of copper coins are urgently needed to develop the economy.

Zhao Hai was modest and didn't even dare to say it.

Zhang Yu thought that they must be very tired after wandering at sea for a long time, so he took them to the hot springs to relieve their fatigue.

There are many natural hot springs on the mountain, except for the place where Zhang Yu booked, Zhang Yu wanted these round-trip crews to go there for a bubble.

This time, Zhao Hai brought back a lot of silver mines, which can increase Zhang Yu's financial income a lot, otherwise the huge overseas plan will not be able to support it at all.

Two days later, Zhao Hai went back first, and this time Zhang Yu asked them to rest for a few months after going back before going to sea.

Zhang Yu stayed in Taiwan for more than half a month and went to many places, but Zhang Yu took the two girls to soak in the hot springs twice.

Soaking in the hot spring Zhang Yu naturally will not just soak in the hot spring, but will use all kinds of postures for the two women.

Zhang Yu stayed in Taiwan for about 20 days in total, and although he didn't go to many places, he had a thorough understanding of Taiwan.

He helped Lynch develop many development strategies, while also knowing what Taiwan needed.

Taiwan is an important forward base, and the two ports must be built well.

To this end, Zhang Yu plans to immigrate to two more ports with 100,000 yuan each, and establish two port cities in the north and south of Taiwan.

Zhang Yu went back, but this time he went ashore in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, which is closer to Taiwan, just over a day's journey.

Zhang Yu also inspected Fujian's development.

In the Fujian region, that is, in the southern part of Huiji County, Zhang Yu also put into development early.

All the way to the north, Zhang Yu carefully investigated, in addition to a few key construction cities, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people in many places, although it is called a county, but it is similar to a small town.

The south is underpopulated and too underdeveloped.

But there is no way to do it, you can only take your time.

Zhang Yu returned to Huiji County after leaving for almost two months.

When Zhang Yu went back, he received a lot of news.

"My lord, there is news from the north that Yu Fuluo defeated the Northern Xiongnu, killed more than 200,000 of their troops, and collected more than 800,000 troops of the Northern Xiongnu, and his strength has increased greatly, far stronger than the Northern Xiongnu." After Zhang Yu arrived, he received an urgent message from the intelligence department.

There is a suggestion from Guo Jia in the news, he has proposed that the northern side reduce the support for the Southern Xiongnu, and suggested that Zhang Yu should cut off the support of the Southern Xiongnu, so that they will not be able to unify the Xiongnu in the short term.

Zhang Yu knew that the grassland people were strong, and he really couldn't let them unify, otherwise they would be too aggressive.

Zhang Yu immediately ordered, on the one hand, Youzhou actively prepared for war, and then cut off the supply of absolute grassland iron, but continued to sell them grain, salt, tea, immortal brewing and other items.

In addition to the limited supply of grain and salt, they cannot be allowed to have reserves, tea and fairy brew are given as much as they want, of course, they have to pay for it.

If they were not given food and salt, it was estimated that Yufu Rome would invade the south with hundreds of thousands of troops, but with food, they would not necessarily take risks.

Zhang Yu felt that time was pressing, and the northern grassland peoples were getting stronger and stronger.

This is the first-class news, just a few days after it was delivered, and was about to step up to send it to Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu came back.

Zhang Yu ordered Guo Jia to be the military advisor of the Northern Army and sit in Shenyang City.

At the same time, let the Northern Army step up its training and reserve all kinds of supplies.

Maybe there will be a war, and once it does, it will be an unimaginable war.

Fortunately, now that winter has begun, there will definitely be no war in the north in the short term.

Then Zhang Yu began to learn about other information.

Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to understand the situation.

"Lord, we have a bumper harvest this year, we have collected a lot of grain, and some people have money to pay taxes, there are not many people who use copper money to pay taxes, but the subordinates are in charge, and they can pay taxes with copper money, which can give certain concessions, not much, but it is beneficial to the people, so many people use copper coins to pay taxes." Zhang Zhao reported.

Zhang Yu nodded, there is nothing to give the people a little discount.

The copper coins he collected would also be spent, and they would be used again on the people.

No wonder Zhang Zhao was so happy, it turned out that he had money in his hands.

Zhang Yu asked again: "What is the effect of the recruitment order?" ”

For talents, Zhang Yu attaches more importance to money than to money.

Zhang Zhao said with a happy face: "There are indeed many people who come to our Jiangdong area, not to mention anything else, the merchant ships that come and go often come to our Jiangdong. ”
