When necessary, the power that Zhang Yu can mobilize will be great.

Even if the money bank secretly prints a large amount of money in a short period of time, nothing will happen.

Zhang Yu has the ability to pay it back in a short time, but there must be enough real money and silver to circulate, otherwise it will cause chaos due to the shortage of gold, silver and copper coins in the market.

At this time, Zhang Yu didn't need to do this, he used all the money at once, which could last for more than ten days, and other money would come in after more than ten days.

As a last resort, Zhang Yu rebuilt a few production lines for making gold and silver coins, and asked the workers to work day and night to get out the accumulated ores as soon as possible.

Cao Cao is preparing, Zhang Yu is also preparing, he embezzled a lot of money for military purposes, and the rest of the money will be filled in when the next batch of money is collected.

Everything went well, and Zhang Yu often studied with Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to determine the direction of Cao Cao's next attack.

"My lord, no matter where Cao Cao attacks next, we should take one or two places in Jizhou, if Cao Cao fights in other directions, he will not experience interfering in Jizhou, if he fights Jizhou, we will also have to fight with him." Xi Zhicai said.

No matter where Cao Cao fought, unless he came to attack him directly, Zhang Yu would have a chance to occupy other places.

Cao Cao attacked Jizhou from the south, so he attacked Jizhou from the north.

Zhang Yu looked at the map, and he also knew very well where to fight next, so he asked: "You must work out a plan as soon as possible, how many soldiers and horses are needed, where to move from, and where to increase soldiers and horses." ”

These are too specific things, Zhang Yu has no need to do them in person, and hand them over to Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai.

"The two of you are mainly responsible for the army's action plan, discuss a result as soon as possible, and I will ask Gu Yong to arrange the logistics immediately."

Zhang Yu divided the cabinet again.

He was sent to Xuzhou to temporarily take charge of the reform of Xuzhou and promote several important arrangements.

Having the Cabinet personally sit in charge and take care of specific matters can greatly promote the progress of affairs.

Qingzhou, which is relatively close to Xinbeiping, can be concerned at any time, and there is no need to send someone to catch it.

There was Zhang Zhao in Jiangdong, Fu Zhi in Xuzhou, and the other five cabinets were in charge of other affairs in Beiping and presided over the normal operation of the cabinet.

More than a dozen departments operate closely around the cabinet, which greatly promotes the progress of the overall affairs.

A new round of development is underway, Zhang Yu sent people to Qingzhou to sell the shops and properties of the newly established city, which can be sold at a high price and can quickly come in a large amount of money.

The county seat of Qingzhou, rebuilt, has been more than a year, and now it is all built, and the population can exceed one million, and there are some shops here and some single-family yards, which are simply hot-selling goods.

Zhang Yu introduced the form of auction and repeatedly got high prices.

Zhang Yu also rented out a large number of shops on the two streets, which were rented directly for five years, and the rent had to be paid all at once for five years, but they were still quickly snapped up.

These Jiangdong consortia, when they saw this city, it was like the city was full of fat, and they had already been eyeing it, but Zhang Yu had not been in a hurry to open the market.

He first let the people move in, and there were already more than 700,000 people in the city, and this huge population was a big piece of fat, and when the shops began to sell, they were all sold at a high price immediately.

Those who participated in the construction of the city could get a part for free, and they were given a large share of the profits in the city, so that they could earn back all their investment.

These Jiangdong consortiums are very supportive of Zhang Yu now, and it is too easy to make money with Zhang Yu.

Of course, Zhang Yu will not refuse the approach of these two benefits.

Recovering a large amount of money, Zhang Yu could not continue to do it this time, one-third of the money was invested in the military, and the other one-third of the money could only be invested in the construction of overseas bases, especially the establishment of routes to Africa.

On this route, I don't know how many bases to be established, and it costs a lot of money to not have a base.

Zhang Yu can only build up at some important nodes first, and then slowly build others later.

In this way, the remaining one-third of the money can only maintain the normal operation of the government.

If you don't have money to do things, you will develop slowly.

The shop stall was too open before, and it took a while to continue tossing.

Zhang Yu and Cao Cao are nervously preparing, preparing for the next round of expansion.

At this time, Cao Cao had already completed the training and integration of the troops surrendered in Jizhou, and his combat power had increased greatly.

When Cao Cao and Zhang Yu were preparing separately, Sun Ce was not idle, and he also appropriately expanded his troops.

The other is to prepare to do things in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei had already secretly sent someone to contact Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce talked to the visitor, the reaction was not very big, but called Zhou Yu over.

"Gong Jin, this Liu Bei is less than 5,000 people, and he also wants to replace Liu Biao?" Sun Ce asked.

Zhou Yu also felt that it was very difficult.

"Although this Liu Biao is old, he was once a cross-river dragon, he came to Jingzhou alone, and later he was able to control Jingzhou, not without means, this Liu Bei wants to succeed, but it is not so easy." Zhou Yu also agreed with Sun Ce.

"Then just ignore it?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, and then said: "This also provides us with a way, we want to attack Cai Mao, it is obviously not possible to rely on Liu Biao, he is already old, he has no enterprising heart, and he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace." ”

"According to our plan, we will do it next year, because at that time, Cao Cao and Zhang Yu are likely to do it in other places, which is a good opportunity for us."

"If this Liu Biao can be hung up in advance and replaced by another person, the balance of Jingzhou will be broken immediately, and we will have a chance at that time."

The two were discussing how to replace Liu Biao, but although Liu Biao was seriously ill, he might not hang up immediately.

"Do you want to send someone to assassinate you? It's not easy. Sun Ce said.

"Arrange it first, anyway, within this year, Liu Biao can't have an accident, we are not ready." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce thought for a while and then decided.

"Okay, arrange people immediately, frown and plan, arrange people first, don't be in a hurry to do it."

The three major princes of China are all preparing for the next year's war.

If Sun Ce wants to solve the situation of being caught between two sides, he must weaken or even kill Cai Mao.

However, Cai Mao also had hundreds of thousands of troops at this time, and he was a thief with money.

This Cai Mao is not ordinarily rich, he makes a lot of money, but most of it doesn't have to be spent.

Unlike Zhang Yu, the stall is so big, how much money is earned and how much is spent.

Several princes were gathering strength, and the winter was quite peaceful.

After entering the winter, it was relatively cold in the north, and Zhang Yu's road construction army stopped, and only a part of the south was still speeding up.

Accumulate strength, maybe it won't be long, wait until everyone continues to have enough strength, and when the time is ripe, it will be another big battle.
