Zhang Yu began to be idle again, but the entire Jiangdong area was in full swing of construction.

And other places are also hot, but they are fiery wars.

First of all, Yuan Shu had previously occupied the rest of Jiangdong.

and Lu Bu attacked Cao Cao and defeated Cao Cao.

There is another place that is very hot, that is, on the grassland, the north and south Xiongnu on the grassland have several major wars of tens of thousands of people, and two wars of more than 200,000 people have broken out.

In several other places, many wars broke out, including the resurgence of the Yellow Turbans, the rebellion of the bandits, and the rebellion of his subordinates, and the peasant uprisings also occurred from time to time.

The year is exactly 194, and it is already autumn, and soon the year will pass again.

These Zhang Yu just paid enough attention and didn't want to participate.

Zhang Yu was thinking about the development later, and at this time the intelligence department came with news about the situation in Xuzhou.

"Haha, Tao Qian finally found out, but it's a pity that it's too late." Zhang Yu ransacked Xuzhou with commerce, which was actually more terrible than the war ransacking.

It's just that commercial looting is not easy to discover, if it weren't for Zhang Yu's monopoly on the Xuzhou salt industry all of a sudden, I'm afraid Tao Qian wouldn't have noticed it so quickly.

But Zhang Yu just wanted to be so simple and rude, because he was really short of money.

This time there was information that Mi Zhu was on an envoy again, and there were six major salt merchants with him.

These salt merchants came in person, and they dared to come in person because of Mi Zhu's guarantee.

Zhang Yu didn't have to do anything to them in Yangzhou.

A few days later, they arrived in Huiji County, and when they passed through Wu County and arrived in Huiji County, they were shocked by the prosperity of the place.

This also made them even more jealous of Zhang Yu's strength.

Zhang Yu did not meet them immediately, but played with several wives in his "harem" for two days.

These salt merchants were cold for two days, and became more and more uneasy.

Two days later, Zhang Yu met them in the county guard mansion of Huiji County.

The county guard's mansion was very simple, even more humble than the mansions of their respective families, which made several salt merchants wonder where Zhang Yu spent so much money.

Zhang Yu naturally didn't need to explain to them.

"You have come from afar, Zhang is very happy, and I can personally invite you to the wedding below." Zhang Yu said.

Several people had strange faces, but they couldn't refuse, Zhang Yu personally invited, what a face.

When the time comes, people will not come, and they will have to give a big gift.

But these are small money, and they want to discuss big things.

"General Zhang, it's easy to say anything else, the six of us are all salt merchants in Xuzhou, and now we are forced by you to survive, and Tao Gong can't allow it." Yan Cheng said first.

Zhang Yu said indifferently: "You can't survive, what does it have to do with me." ”

"Zhang Yu, be reasonable, Xuzhou is our territory, if you do this, you will only lose both." Liu Shan said sharply.

At this time, he couldn't care about it so much, because the family couldn't hold on, and he didn't care what Zhang Yu wanted.

"Reason? The hard fist is the truth, the same is the 200,000 army, I only need 100,000 troops to blow up Xuzhou, so the truth is only where the iron fist is smashed, whoever has a hard fist will make sense. Zhang Yu said bluntly.

Zhang Yu's words made several people choke, as if Xiucai met a soldier and couldn't explain it clearly.

Zhang Yu said a universal truth in the world, which made them helpless, Zhang Yu just had to rely on his fists to speak, what could they do?

A few people fell silent, if Zhang Yu really wanted to fight, what could they do?

Similarly, Zhang Yu also revealed a news to them, there are 200,000 troops on the Yangzhou side, and Zhang Yu's 200,000 troops are all elite soldiers.

Mi Zhu on the side seemed to be just an accompaniment, and he smiled secretly in his heart on the side, this Zhang Yu is really domineering, but as far as he knows, Zhang Yu is very good internally, whether it is ordinary people, businessmen and workers, etc.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yu spoke again: "The reason is very simple, it is whose fist is hard to listen to whom, it is impossible for me to withdraw from Xuzhou Salt City, but we can cooperate." ”

Cooperate?

Several people were blindfolded.

Zhang Yu smiled, but in the eyes of several of them, Zhang Yu's smile was so treacherous.

"How to cooperate?" Yan Cheng asked.

Several people also paid attention, and Zhang Yucai said: "It's very simple, I can give you all the salt market in Xuzhou, sell it to you at 20% lower than the current price, and you can regain control of the salt market in Xuzhou." ”

A few people glanced at each other, and this method seemed to be really possible.

They have calculated in their hearts that it is less than 20% of the current selling price, so it is about the same as the cost of their previous inferior salt.

They can sell it with high-quality table salt, and again, they don't have to feed tens of thousands of people anymore.

Several of them were seriously exposed to greed.

"This is true, you are not allowed to continue to enter Xuzhou to sell salt in the future?" Liu Shan said again.

"Yes, as long as you take salt from me, I will not enter Xuzhou to sell a grain of salt, but if you still want to continue to make salt yourself, or dry salt on the beach like me, then we have to be reasonable."

threatened, Zhang Yu was threatening them, to make them give up the production of salt, otherwise Zhang Yu would beat them.

Domineering, this is domineering.

But some people are happy in their hearts, and they take Zhang Yu's salt out to sell, and they don't have to produce it, and they make no less money than before.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to withdraw from the salt market in Xuzhou, we are willing to take the goods from you." Liu Shan was the first to speak.

Liu Shan can't hold it anymore, no matter what, he has to agree to come down.

At the beginning of Liu Shan, the others also secretly calculated for a while, feeling that Zhang Yu's conditions were not difficult to agree.

They regained control of Xuzhou's salt market, and the family was able to achieve its former glory again.

"There is one more condition." Zhang Yu spoke again.

Several people were nervous for a while, afraid that Zhang Yu would pit them.

Several people looked at Zhang Yu nervously, and Zhang Yu felt funny.

"It's simple, I'll show you something." Zhang Yu went to ask the soldiers to bring a few bags of gold and silver coins.

"A few of you can subscribe and exchange some copper coins." Zhang Yu slammed the gold and silver coins in front of them and said.

At first, they were still puzzled, but at this time, Mi Zhu came out to explain to them for a while, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that Zhang Yu didn't want to pit them.

Zhang Yu really didn't want to pit them, but he would pit Xuzhou.

There was a money shortage in Zhang Yu's territory, and Xuzhou was swept up with so much money by himself, and there will be a money shortage soon.

The principle of money shortage is very simple, the copper money in the hands of the people is not enough, many transactions cannot be carried out, and sometimes barter.

It is difficult for a family to have the wealth of a gold or silver coin, and the most commonly used by them is copper coins.

If there are not enough copper coins in the market, people's lives will be affected.

This is Zhang Yu's next step, a financial attack on Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu and several salt merchants can be said to have traded in equal amounts, and even several salt merchants have taken advantage of a certain amount.

This beautiful silver and gold coin can definitely be used.
