Zhang Yu had ceased fighting for nearly two years, and now he began to prepare again.

At this time, he did not start any more projects, but saved money and prepared for war.

Money is needed to fight a war, and a month ago, a shipment of gold and silver was brought back from North America, adding up to tens of millions of silver coins.

This money is simply timely rain, Zhang Yu asked people to start preparing immediately, and the money is intended to be used as military expenses.

Regardless of the tax Zhang Yu, let the cabinet distribute it, and complete all the follow-up projects, and he is ready to start dominating the world.

"I haven't been out of Beijing for a year and a half, and I must tour the south again, and then I'll prepare for war."

It takes time to prepare for battle, although Zhang Yu and they have been preparing for a long time before, but now they need to prepare again.

This time, Zhang Yu's plan was to start a war on both sides at the same time, and not to keep Ma Teng.

The revolution has reached a certain level, and then the foreign war is carried out, and the contradictions are shifted and the form of government is determined.

When Zhang Yu finishes this battle, I believe everyone is used to it, and there is no chance to get up and make trouble again.

During the war, it was the stupid hat who dared to rise up and make trouble, and at that time, if you didn't just go to the construction site to work, maybe even the head might be gone.

Zhang Yu looked for a morning, took Dian Wei, and dozens of guards set off.

This time, he is going to Linzi, Shandong Province to have a look, and he is also going to Shanghai to have a look.

Judging from the report Zhang Yu received, these two places are developing very well, but they still need to see it for themselves.

Linzi, the geographical location is not very good, but it is not bad.

If the maritime trade is developed here, it is not a very ideal situation, it is too far from the north and south, and in this era, not the later generations, the ships are not so fast.

But after all, the conditions are not bad.

It took Zhang Yu a few days to get to Linzi.

At this time, outside Linzi City, there were already more than 300 workshops concentrated here.

This is the industrial area that Zhang Yu wanted to build before.

The industrial zone, where more than 300 workshops are connected into a large area, and there are thousands of workers, forming a small market town.

Around this industrial area, a lot of business has been done.

There are also many houses built around for these workers.

Since the construction of this industrial zone, it is very well managed, centralized management, and not prone to accidents.

At first, the owners of those workshops were unwilling, and finally Zhang Yu issued an order, and the magistrate gave them property rights protection, so that they could establish a workshop here.

But now they are willing.

It's all in one workshop, you don't have to run to buy anything, you can go directly to someone's workshop to see, and you can sign a contract on the spot.

Some businessmen from outside are also very convenient when they come to buy, and they go directly to see them from house to house, and they don't have to run.

In this way, it is much more convenient for those workshop owners to advertise, and they don't have to look for business opportunities everywhere, just wait here for business opportunities to come.

Many businessmen from other places, this is a must-visit area.

Here, buying and selling are convenient.

Zhang Yu disguised himself as a caravan, and after entering, he saw someone holding a sign to pull business, and asked what kind of business their caravan was.

There are also a lot of businessmen coming and going, and now there is no need to ask the workshop owner to settle here, but those who have the strength must take the initiative to enter here.

Here, it is convenient to do business, and there are often orders coming to the door to keep them busy.

Now doing business, there is a company called the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, to go to the record, to sign a contract or something to use the name of the record, when signing the contract is a lot more relieved, after paying the deposit will dare to produce.

Zhang Yu walked around the industrial zone for two days, producing ordinary goods, and selling them in the nearby area.

"Yes, centralized management, this will also become one of the birthplaces of capital."

These three hundred workshops will get together, and a market will slowly be formed, and when these people make money and continue to expand production, they will make money, and they will naturally have to pay taxes, and after paying taxes, Zhang Yu will have more strength to do other things.

After some inspection, Zhang Yu was very satisfied.

"Capital can sprout, and I don't know how many new things will be promoted in the future." When Zhang Yu left, he was very confident.

This industrial zone is still very primitive, but it has accumulated experience, and some problems know how to solve, Zhang Yu plans to open a few more industrial zones, and then slowly promote them.

There must be one around the capital, so that Zhang Yu can know what problems will arise in time.

In this industrial zone, the tax paid in a year is very considerable, and the tax revenue of hundreds of thousands of silver coins, as well as the downstream, the commercial houses and shops that sell these goods are also taxed.

Continuing to develop, and waiting for the budding of capital, will promote the rapid development of the empire.

Zhang Yu finished reading the industrial zone in Linzi, although there are still many problems, it is necessary to improve it slowly.

Then, Zhang Yu continued to go south, this time going directly to Shanghai, and Xuzhou City did not plan to go.

Shanghai, Zhang Yu has given great hope here, it has been more than two years, I don't know what the situation is now.

Zhang Yu and the others spent more than ten days inspecting along the road, and then they arrived here.

Shanghai, already a prosperous city, at this time the city wall is still low, and very unstable, although it is three or four meters high, but very thin, it is estimated that the enemy can collapse after a few hits.

But it doesn't matter, there will be no enemies here.

The city had already enlarged, and at the beginning there were only a hundred thousand people, and the reported population was 370,000.

This is already a very large county seat, although it has been raised to the level of a county seat by Zhang Yu.

When you enter Shanghai, you can feel the prosperity here, and it is full of money.

On the road, there were many workers, who might work at the docks here, or they could be caravanserais, and at the same time there were many wealthy people.

Zhang Yu was on the road, and the most he encountered were rich people and workers.

The streets on both sides are spacious, and there are many shops, but many of them are inns and restaurants.

There are many hotels, but the high-level ones are together with the low-level ones, and obviously the operators still don't know how to separate.

These caravans, the workers had to stay in the shop, and they had to stay in the shop, and those who had money might be able to buy a yard here.

"Here, will it become a city that never sleeps in the East, and live a drunken life in advance?"

Walking on the street, Zhang Yu learned about this emerging city.

Here, the geographical location is very important to connect the north and south, and the east and west.

"Let the business empire transform the world."

After entering the city, Zhang Yu knew that this city was indeed developing very well.

Judging from the tax revenue reported by Shanghai, the tax revenue here is already better than that of many old county towns and even the former state offices, and a large number of goods and money are running here, driving the development here.

"In this day and age, no one can compete with me."

Zhang Yu opened up business, opened up overseas, and opened up the world, and no one could compete with him.
