Chapter 1225: Unification of China

Guo Jia's plan went well, he directly bribed the guards in Hanzhong, and the guards inside promised to cooperate with the outside.

This Hanzhong is the gateway to Shuchuan, as long as you enter Hanzhong, then everything is fine.

This matter was handed over to Guo Jia and them to deal with, Zhang Yu didn't care about it at all, and there was only one Shuchuan left, which was not very difficult.

Zhang Yu began to pay attention to the finances of the empire.

Now the finances of the empire are very good.

Tobacco has already formed a certain scale, and because of the government's monopoly, he has been able to bring about 10 million silver coins to the empire in a year.

Ten million, which is already a very good income, smokers continue to expand, the higher the income will be in the future.

Of course, a lot of it is still exported.

What Zhang Yu didn't expect was that this Fushou paste began to catch fire in the West, and many Western businessmen took the initiative to come and sell it.

But the price of this Fushou paste is not cheap, they don't have enough money, and they actually exchange it for slaves.

You know, now the West is still a slave society, and there are slaves everywhere.

After Zhang Yu knew that they had no money, he agreed to exchange some of them for slaves.

When these Westerners are in their own hands, they can let them dig canals, let them build roads, as long as they are fed.

"It's a very good workforce, if the scale is larger, it can allow them to build roads all the time, and the empire can reduce a lot of expenses." The empire is rich now, but Zhang Yu still has a lot to do.

For example, research on larger ships.

For example, all provinces will be built with cement.

I don't know how many years it will take or how much it will cost to complete, but if there is a profit from Fushou Paste to support it, Zhang Yu feels that he can complete this difficult task.

In this way, the transstate slave trade began, Zhang Yu did not expect that in this world, the slave trade turned out to be because of him.

This transnational trade began, and the slave trade was destined to begin.

Zhang Yu will not pity Westerners, and Easterners have been slowly transformed into the Chinese nation by him.

For example, the descendants of the people on the Mahan Peninsula are no different from the Chinese people, and the Fuso people have been slowly transformed, and in another generation or two, they will all become Chinese people.

When the time comes, all overseas people will be Chinese, and there will be nothing to do with them Westerners.

Perhaps, Zhang Yu's later generations will also destroy the West.

Zhang Yu began to take charge of a vast empire, not only in China, but also in a large number of overseas territories.

Today's overseas territories can also bring Zhang Yu a lot of wealth every year.

Nowadays, Zhang Yu has money and people, and he still has a lot to do now, such as sorting out classics.

As long as it is a book, a book with a certain value, Zhang Yu has to compile them, and later generations of Confucianism do not know how many things have been deleted.

As long as it is different from Confucianism, many books have been lost.

And Zhang Yu did not allow such an existence, he repaired books, and asked the academies around the country to compile all kinds of books and send them to the capital, where they were printed and collected.

Zhang Yu advocated that a hundred schools of thought contend, not allowing Confucianism to dominate, and other schools should also develop.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt that he had a lot to do, building roads, books, and digging canals.

These things, as long as Zhang Yu does it in the palace and makes a general plan, someone will do it.

But there are some things that Zhang Yu still has to do in person.

He wanted to do a great thing, and that was to publish a book of his own.

The book that Zhang Yu wants to publish is called 10,000 Conjectures.

What are 10,000 conjectures?

Zhang Yu actually gave the ancients popular science, he guessed the steam engine, guessed electricity, and guessed some basic science.

Someone else's book will definitely become an anti-book, but Zhang Yu's book will become a divine book and will be studied by many people.

Zhang Yu really wants to have 10,000 conjectures, such as a steam engine, which can be done, such as using a steam engine to make trains, ships, etc.

As long as basic science is in place, then everything is not a problem.

Zhang Yu didn't get out the advanced things of the later generations, but he could have all kinds of basic scientific conjectures, write a rough idea by himself, and then let the ancients explore it slowly.

Zhang Yu wrote a few articles first, from the gravitational force of objects falling to the steam engine boiling in a kettle.

Zhang Yu published it directly in the journal of Quest, and his signature was himself.

Zhang Yu personally advertised, and Zhang Yu personally marketed, and this quest magazine actually sold well.

Zhang Yu doesn't know how long it will take for these things to sprout, but it shouldn't be too long.

Zhang Yu also needs to innovate various basic theories, such as management, economics and other sciences.

He doesn't know a lot, but it's enough to create a prototype of this discipline, and then let future generations slowly improve it.

What Zhang Yu wants to do now is to be a godfather and let all kinds of theories develop.

However, this is not very good for a society, and Zhang Yu also gathered a group of Confucian masters to study Confucian theories.

Although Confucianism cannot be dominant, it is still important.

Zhang Yu began to guide the development of various disciplines.

He doesn't spend much time in the palace now, but he spends a lot of time in the academy.

Under the foundation of Zhang Yu, various disciplines can at least have a prototype and develop slowly.

......

On Guo Jia's side, not long after Zhuge Liang arrived, Guo Jia began to act.

With the internal response, the army directly entered the Shuchuan.

When they occupied Hanzhong, the rest of the army began to move, and the already prepared army moved quickly.

When Guo Jia and the others occupied Hanzhong, everything was not a problem.

The army was assembled, and the army of Shuchuan could not resist at all.

Even many armies surrendered outright.

Shuchuan has been occupied by Zhang Yu's army.

occupied Shuchuan, and this China was unified.

Once he unified China, Zhang Yu let the army retire in an orderly manner, and at the same time let the army bear some non-combat obligations.

After recovering Shuchuan, Zhang Yu set the total force at about 800,000, mostly defending the northern region.

However, there is no one-time retirement, some people are discharged every year, and at the same time, some people are re-recruited every year, and the newly recruited army must serve as a soldier for three years.

There are 800,000 regular troops, but there are still many police forces, and armed police, once there is a war, Zhang Yu is not short of army use.

A large number of troops were retired, and Zhang Yu had more money in his hands.

If there is more money, it will be spent, Zhang Yu directly asked 200,000 troops to build roads, of course, not free labor, but to calculate their wages, and when they retire, they will have a large amount of money in their hands, enough to go back and live a good life.

The empire's national fortunes are unprecedentedly strong.

Zhang Yu can start to slowly implement various systems.

With the money, a nationwide medical service was slowly set up, and at least one public hospital was established in every province.

There are not enough medical students every year, and some people are recruited from the private sector.

Cities and counties should also be established at the provincial level.
