Going south to inspect is what Zhang Yu has always wanted.

He wondered if the South had developed as he had envisioned.

Zhang Yu is very concerned about the expectations of the south.

As long as the south can develop, then there will be no hunger in the whole of China, which is very important to Zhang Yu, and many of Zhang Yu's strategies need to make the south develop.

For example, if Zhang Yu wants to protect the environment in the northwest region, he can't let that large-scale food cultivation destroy the environment, so where will their food come from?

Only when the south keeps transporting grain over there, can they carry out other activities and make money to buy grain.

Thinking about these is too far, Zhang Yu may only be able to put forward some ideas and some grand strategies in his life, and let future generations implement them.

But Zhang Yu wants to lay a good foundation, at least the transportation of grain should be cheap, if it is too expensive, there is no specific meaning.

Zhang Yu stayed in Shanghai for several days, and many of the ideas here still did not meet Zhang Yu's requirements.

However, Zhang Yu allowed them to improve slowly, but they had to be able to see the actual results.

At the same time, Zhang Yu planned several industrial plots far away from the city, and planned to build many workshops here.

This time, the owner of the workshop will not refuse, this is close to Shanghai, close to the port is very convenient to transport goods.

Zhang Yu encourages business, encourages making money, and also encourages the cultivation of food, without food instability.

The effect is very good, not only is industry and commerce developed in the south, but agriculture is not left behind.

In this way, it is thanks to Zhang Yu who has been promoting innovation and developing the south.

Zhang Yu continued south, this time directly south to Guangdong.

Zhang Yu took a boat south this time and arrived in Guangdong in a few days.

Here, the port is very busy every day, and the tax contribution here is already very high.

When Zhuge Liang came, Zhang Yu also gave him a lot of funding, and at the same time asked him to withhold all the taxes, and now that Zhang Yu is here, he can already contribute a lot of taxes every year.

The western part of Guangdong has also slowly begun to develop.

Zhang Yu took a look at the port, and three fleets came here in one day, and the three fleets brought back a lot of wealth from overseas, and these riches had to be entered here, and then the taxes were calculated.

This tax is very high, and when you go to sea, no matter what you bring back, you have to pay a 20% tax.

You don't have to pay taxes when you go out, who knows if something will happen to the businessman, and at the same time, if you will make money when you go out this time.

So, wait until they come back to collect the tax.

In fact, it's very simple, when they go out, they are all commodities, and they basically don't have much money.

Is it possible to withhold 20% of goods as taxes?

It's better to wait until they go out and sell it, and then collect taxes from them, which will collect more taxes.

They are profiteering, so Zhang Yu charges them high tariffs.

The 20% tax is more than 100 million silver coins a year, because this foreign trade is too profitable.

Overseas gold and silver seem to be unwanted.

A great deal of gold and silver came in.

As a result, there were more and more gold and silver coins in Huaxia, and a large amount of money promoted the development of commerce.

Zhang Yu is going to inspect the governance situation here this time, to see whether the officials are corrupt, to see whether the people are being oppressed by the underworld forces, and at the same time, to see whether the regulations are in place, far from the center, and whether the regulations are in place.

It's too far away from the center, and now that the road is repaired, it will take more than two months to make a round trip, and of course, if you are fast, you can get there in twenty days.

So, the situation here is not easy to grasp.

The situation in Guangdong is very good, and it is a good place to connect with the southeast region, as well as South Asia.

From here, the fleet is rarely in danger, because there are already many strongholds along the way.

These strongholds continued to grow, slowly turning from a stronghold into a county seat, and then slowly spreading.

In the southeast, some of the larger islands have set up strongholds.

Zhang Yu and the others also have two to three fleets to explore various places every year, and then bring back the map.

Some merchants also organize adventurous teams, and once they find something valuable and dedicate it to Zhang Yu, they will also receive a rich reward.

A large amount of goods were shipped out of here, and a lot of wealth was brought back.

Spices, Zhang Yu they have discovered, opium, Zhang Yu they have also found.

These things were monopolized by Zhang Yu, and ordinary merchants could only trade ordinary goods.

But ordinary goods can also make them rich.

Zhang Yu carefully investigated the officials here and looked at the lives of the people here.

Undoubtedly, this is a land that is developing very quickly.

Zhang Yu secretly investigated for about ten days before revealing his identity.

Zhang Yu suddenly appeared here, startling the officials here.

It is thousands of miles away from the capital, but Zhang Yu appeared here.

The officials were shocked, Zhang Yu was able to suddenly appear here, I am afraid that the whole world will be under the leadership of Zhang Yu, and no one can be lucky.

Zhang Yu stayed in Guangdong for a few days and then went back.

This time, Guangdong is still well governed, although there are many ills, but they are not serious.

"Next year, send a cabinet in for a while, and then it'll be fine."

Here, although far away from the center, but the travel has been much more convenient, Zhang Yu has built a relatively complete post station system, if urgent, you can quickly come and go.

Zhang Yu went back, this post station, Zhang Yu thought of the express.

If all the counties are posted, I don't know how.

The express delivery industry, the mail business, I don't know if it could develop in ancient times.

If this is the case, then there must be normal exchanges between the places.

Zhang Yu felt that the capital and the surrounding areas could be experimented with first, which should be promoted slowly.

If you can, you can give it a try.

Zhang Yu didn't know if it was possible for this business to develop, in ancient times, except for sending letters or others, it didn't seem to be very needed.

But if there is no demand, then slowly develop the demand and stimulate their needs.

The demand can be developed later, Zhang Yu has this idea, so take your time.

Letters, semi-monthly magazines, and general official documents can all be handled by the postal service.

This requires all roads to be repaired so that the timeliness will be fast.

This is a long-term thing, and we will talk about it later.

Zhang Yu returned to Jiangdong, which was where he started, and the scale of the royal city was very large.

Today, the development of Wangcheng is not lost to the capital, and it is still the center of culture.

Here, there is Koto Academy, and there are Koto merchants who get up early.

Here, the rich gather, and it is also the center of gravity of the surroundings.

Zhang Yu returned to his home again, and after many years, Zhang Yu was already about to obtain the entire Huaxia artifact.

"It's almost time, let me end this chaotic era and let the whole of China take off."

Zhang Yu is ambitious, and he is already qualified to become the leader of this era.

Zhang Yu has already asked the cabinet to prepare, and it won't be long before an attack will be launched.

His first target was not Liu Bei, but Ma Teng.

Liangzhou, there is no danger to defend.
