Zhang Jaw, Zhang Yu will really arrange an army for him, at least a 50,000-strong army.

Open jaw has this ability.

After opening his jaw, Zhang Yu became leisurely again.

When the cabinet is in control of the situation, he will listen to a briefing every two or three days and issue some holy decrees.

Four major events now.

The first is to repair the road, the road between the north and the south is about to be repaired, and Jizhou and Yanzhou, Zhang Yu also plans to repair it within a year.

The second is reform, and the multi-department will be well coordinated with the counties and counties, so that there will be no problems.

The third is military training, which has already begun with a three-month large-scale military training, followed by a one-month rest after three months, and then a three-month large-scale military training will continue.

All the soldiers and horses have to go through two to three rounds of training.

Fourth, we should make money, although we spend a lot, but we should also reserve some military spending for the development in a year.

All things are being pushed forward vigorously.

Winter goes to spring, time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

"Half a year has passed, is there going to be a mid-term exam?"

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yu asked the cabinet to make a report to report on the progress of various things and assess whether the battle could start as scheduled.

At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, Zhang Yu sat at the top, and all cabinet members were holding thick materials and preparing to report.

First of all, Zhang Zhao gave a brief introduction.

"Lord, the road between the north and south has been repaired, and the road construction army has also been transferred to Jizhou and Yanzhou, and the roads in the two places have been repaired quickly and can be completed ahead of schedule." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu nodded, this is good news, when the road is repaired, the speed of the army will be faster, and the consumption of grain and grass on the road will be less.

Zhang Zhao continued to report: "In the past six months, a lot of taxes have been collected in various places, although the agricultural tax is relatively small, but there are many other taxes, and even Zhuge Liang has sent back millions of taxes in Jiaozhou. ”

Zhuge Liang collected a lot of taxes, but Zhang Yu asked him to intercept the taxes and use them for development, but he didn't expect him to be able to send some of them back, and it seems that Jiaozhou is also developing very well.

It is close to Tianzhu Country, which has a large population, and it can still make a lot of money from trade.

The other states all contribute a lot of tax revenue.

Overseas continued to send a large amount of money, and Zhang Zhao opened a few more places to process gold and silver coins, which greatly eased the financial pressure.

"My lord, we didn't reserve any military funds in the first half of the year, and we spent it all, but the armaments and grain and grass are fully prepared, and we can launch a big war at any time." Zhang Zhao finally concluded.

Zhang Yu nodded, Zhang Yu understood that the army had spent a lot of money in the past six months, and the army had a lot of consumption every day, and the food had to be increased, and the meat had to be increased even more, and two million people had to eat a lot of money every day.

These are nothing, Zhang Yu raised them.

Ordnance, grain, and grass have already been prepared, and a little military spending can be saved in the second half of the year, not to mention that there will be an autumn harvest in the second half of the year, and a lot of agricultural taxes will be collected at that time.

Zhang Zhao's report is completed, let Gu Yong report.

"My lord, our money bank has been arranged in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the income is very good, and we can also make a lot of money from the second half of the year for military spending."

This is another good news, the money bank has expanded to several states, which is becoming more and more convenient and the financing capacity is getting stronger and stronger.

This is a good thing, there is a lot of gold and silver reserves at home, and each state has a vault that can be used very well.

After that, he reported to Jizhou alone.

Jizhou is very important, the geographical location is good, and the foundation is very good.

It was originally a place with a developed economy and a large population.

With Xun Yu taking care of it, it has developed rapidly, and the growth rate has always been the fastest.

can be compared with Jiangdong and Youzhou.

These two places can be so good is that it has not been a big war for a long time.

After all, Jizhou went through a lot of destruction.

"Gongtai, I don't know what the situation is on your side?" Zhang Yu looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of shortage of talent reserves, and those that can be used are transferred to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, a new round of imperial examinations has been prepared, and there will be a round of preliminary examinations next month, and then the official imperial examinations will be carried out to select some people." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, and then said, "To establish an academy in Yingchuan, can the candidates be arranged?" ”

Chen Gong looked embarrassed, thought for a while and said, "Dozens of graduate students have been transferred, and some teachers have been transferred from several other colleges, but they are still a little insufficient. ”

High-level talents are rare, and Zhang Yu's education system is so good, it is difficult to organize a college of higher learning immediately.

"It's okay, a college of higher learning needs to go through precipitation, and promote more new people in other colleges to let them try, and they will definitely expand in the future." Zhang Yu said.

After Guo Jia reported, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord, I have good news here, this Xiongnu has succumbed and wants to trade with us again." ”

The Xiongnu took advantage of Zhang Yu's war in the Central Plains to attack Youzhou, and were frightened by him, and then under the drive of Lu Bu, they went far west and did not dare to invade east.

In order to make them submit, Zhang Yu cut off trade with them.

But they can also trade through other princes, and they don't dare to cut off a few princes even for them in the first half of the year.

On the grassland, it was difficult to obtain supplies, especially lack of salt and tea, so the Xiongnu could not hold on.

"Well, keep trading with them, we need money too, and don't push them too hard, if they turn to the Roman Empire, it will be even more difficult for us."

Zhang Yu decided to reprimand the Xiongnu with a stern decree, and asked them to sacrifice a batch of cattle, sheep and horses, and then sell them to them when the time came.

This is tantamount to letting the Xiongnu recognize themselves as emperors, and become their own courtiers like the Han emperors back then.

This is indeed good news.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yu asked about Lu Bu's situation.

Lu Bu still refused to fight for Zhang Yu, saying that he would only deal with foreign races and would not fight with the princes again.

Zhang Yu didn't care, this Lu Bu was no threat to himself at all.

Everything is developing rapidly, and Zhang Yu's war in the spring of the next year has not been affected.

Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to report on the intelligence matter again.

"My lord, the princes have developed slowly for more than half a year, mainly because there are big problems within them, we have cut off their financial routes, and they dare not expand rashly."

"Even Cai Mao has disbanded a lot of manpower, but he still has some financial resources, and he still expands his army by 100,000."

"Sun Ce and Cao Cao have developed slightly, but they are far worse than us, that is, this Cao Ang is not simple, he is very guarded against us, our espionage activities are much more difficult here, and those who were ambushed in the past will not be easily exposed, and their subordinates let them hide."

Zhang Yu nodded, these are not big deals.

In the end, Zhang Yu said: "The Zhongqing family has done a good job, continue to work hard, and start the war as scheduled." ”

"Recently, Ma Teng has been eliminating dissidents, and I am afraid that there will be a big operation, and when he squeezes out the other small princes, it will be even more difficult to deal with."
