Zhang Yu issued a holy decree this time, and the officials and governments in all parts of the country should cooperate with An Yuan along the way.

An Yuan's level is also high enough, below the cabinet are the ministers of various ministries, he is a deputy minister, and he is at the same level as the senior officials of the province.

In addition, An Yuan has a holy decree, and if he goes directly from the center, the local officials really dare not listen to it.

There was another big movement on Zhang Yu's side, and a large number of laborers were to be requisitioned, and the spies in Shuchuan and Liangzhou were excited again, and their opportunity to make meritorious contributions had come again.

Intelligence from all over the world quickly came back.

Liangzhou, Ma Teng and they have already collected all kinds of intelligence.

On this day, Ma Teng and his son received news again, and then the two discussed in the study.

"Meng Qi, what is the strength of the people of the Roman Empire?"

"They have a lot of strength, and children can only fight several by skill, and with strength alone, children are not sure of victory."

Ma Teng nodded, and said with a little joy: "Ordinary soldiers, as long as you have a strong strength, you can drop ten times with one force." ”

Ma Teng also saw that they were clumsy and their skills were not good, but it didn't matter, they trained and trained them by themselves, and then they could win with their strength.

Ma Teng and his son talked about intelligence again.

"Zhang Yu, this person, actually has such an unwise time, a large number of conscription and conscription, which led to the boiling of public resentment, and now he is actually going to open the canal again, I heard that the four canals will increase the number of millions of people." Ma Teng said.

"This is looking for death, our army has already begun to prepare, just wait for the weapons and armor to be built, and then attack." Ma Teng said.

"It's time to transfer Pang De back, he went to protect Yunlu and was forcibly stayed." Ma Teng said.

Ma Teng's father and son, the news they got was actually similar to Liu Bei's news.

This time, Zhang Yu asked people to leak the situation of several canals.

But Zhang Yu himself knows very well that he only repairs the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the others are not at all repairable now.

However, he also agreed that An Yuan sent a few people to solve some difficulties first, and then repair them when the time came.

A few days after An Yuan left, Zhang Yu began to look at the information again.

"Great, the construction of Chang'an has been completed, plus the construction of several cities in Bingzhou and Jizhou has been basically completed, and all preparations have been completed."

After nearly a year and a half of construction, several castles were completed.

Chang'an City was originally a big city, and Zhang Yu asked Zhuge Liang to expand it directly and build a large city wall.

This is a sharp weapon to deal with the enemy, but also the inevitable choice of urban development, the original city wall has limited the continued development of the city, and when the new city wall is built, the old city wall will begin to be demolished.

After everything was prepared, Zhang Yu found that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A few cities, but more than two million people were building, and at great expense, were now all liberated, and they were allowed to return to the fields to farm.

After completing several major projects, Zhang Yu was relaxed all of a sudden.

Today's biggest project is to build roads, and the army of road builders from all over the country has been building them day and night.

Then there was the construction of the canal, which was also very important.

The third is water conservancy projects in various places.

These water conservancy projects are relatively easy to manage, and the government pays for materials, tools, and food, while the peasants are not paid, because the canals are directly used by them.

Wherever the canal flows, the people of any family will come out to repair the canal, and there is no pay, but they will take care of the food.

In this way, the enthusiasm of the people is also very high, and the government helps them repair it, and they also give them food to eat, and they don't have to bring their own tools.

These three major projects put a great burden on the entire empire.

However, no matter how big the time is, Zhang Yu still continues to advance.

Ma Teng and Liu Bei believed that Zhang Yu would work hard and lose money, and it would not be long before the people were dissatisfied, leading to the collapse of the empire.

So, both of them were conscripting soldiers and horses.

However, Ma Teng has been a little uncomfortable lately.

Because Zhang Yu cut off their grain and grass.

Not only did they lose their food and grass, but iron ore and so on were also more difficult to buy.

Now it is easy to buy pottery, silk, liquor, tea and so on.

These things are not only cheaper, but also in large quantities.

Zhang Yu directly increased the supply of these items, and even the price was cheaper.

This makes them very puzzling, incomprehensible, and if you buy it, it is profitable, and you can make a lot of money by selling it.

Many merchants in Liangzhou began to stock up, and then organized more people to go to the West and sell them at a high price.

Many people start stockpiling, but if they want to sell it to the West, it will take several months, and so on, and it will take a year to get the money back.

But if you don't buy them, you won't be reconciled, as long as you can make money, what if you put them first.

Zhang Yu has already sanctioned them, but now Ma Teng has not felt it very much.

Now he has a lot of salt and grain reserves, and there is no shortage of them in a short period of time.

Zhang Yu sanctioned them, just to make them uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Yu knew very well that he was accelerating the consumption of Ma Teng's potential, at least draining their financial resources.

The solution is very simple, that is, a large number of goods to reduce the price.

As soon as the price dropped, and the prediction of the price increase was released, many merchants began to buy in large quantities and stock up.

In this way, the money slowly becomes the goods, they have nothing to lose, they turn the money into goods, and the goods can be sold to make a lot of money.

It's not a conspiracy, and the big merchants are happy to do the same.

However, as soon as Ma Teng wants to start an incident, they will find that there is no money.

Could it be that when you give money to a soldier, give a few taels of tea and two bottles of wine?

When the time comes, the soldiers will do it.

There are many things that are difficult to do without money, and Zhang Yu just wants to drain their money.

Ma Teng They don't know yet, they are still fantasizing about when Zhang Yu will not be able to hold on, and rebellions will break out, so that they can start trouble.

Soon, Liu Bei even sent a messenger to join Ma Teng in the incident.

The two sides planned to send troops together, one to attack Bingzhou or Chang'an Luoyang, and the other to attack Jingzhou.

Liu Bei was also actively preparing for war and directly recruited 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Liu Bei is also very active now, and has been diligent in government for more than two consecutive months, and will deal with government affairs every day.

However, he was infected with Fushou ointment, and no matter how strong his will was, he was slowly corroded.

Now although Liu Bei is diligent in government, he also sucks Fushou ointment every day, and once he stops, he is in pain.

No one could make him stop, although this Pang Tong found a problem, but he thought that Liu Bei was sick and had to rely on this medicine to treat it.

This Pang Tong was too busy, if he knew that there were still many people at the bottom who were infected with Fushou ointment, but he couldn't see it at all.

Pang Tong is not a government official, ordinary government affairs are not handled by him at all, he is responsible for making plans and collecting intelligence.

Zhang Yu had secretly taken action against them, and they still believed that Zhang Yu was extorting from his own people.

It's not that others aren't smart enough, it's that modern thinking makes it impossible for them to understand.
