Chapter 468: Reasons for a Big Wedding
Zhang Yu felt that his head was big after learning a little.
Originally, I thought that Koto had developed to such an extent that it would become the most economically active place on the planet today, and that there should be a large surplus in finances, but it turned out that there was a serious shortage of money.
The construction of a large ship costs millions, and the return on investment time is relatively long.
There is no direct return on investment in education.
The huge investment has made the Koto region unable to make ends meet.
Zhang Yu understands that in the south and southeast regions, Zhang Yu has set up some new counties, although the number is scarce, but it is necessary to support it often.
This is a big strategy, Zhang Yu set up a county on some islands in the southeast region, which can increase the population by 2,000 every month, and tens of thousands of people in a year.
It's just that in the southeast region, many of them are primeval forests, and the difficulty of development is too great, so Zhang Yu can only take his time.
Zhang Yu has a dream, which is to turn all the southeast region into a Chinese place.
This difficulty is not very great, there is a system, as long as a county is set up on an island, then the population will increase by tens of thousands every year, and after more than ten years, it will be hundreds of thousands of people.
However, the investment in not opening a county is huge, and it is necessary to transport a huge amount of materials, tools, food, clothing, and help to establish a stronghold.
In short, although Zhang Yu has a big dream to turn the southeast region into his own place, he is really not strong enough at present, and can only arrange a few points in some important places.
Zhang Yu has already set up counties on more than a dozen islands in the southeast, and in the future, these places will inevitably become the places of China.
At the same time, a small number of points have also been arranged in Hainan.
These will require Zhang Yu's continuous investment in the next two or three years in order to develop rapidly.
In an instant, Zhang Yu felt a huge pressure, it turned out that he was so short of money.
Zhang Zhao came back, and Zhang Yu hurriedly asked him to report the situation.
"Zibu, look at your face and you're tired." Zhang Yu saw that Zhang Zhao seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden.
He's the chief manager, but the prime minister is not easy to be at all.
"Lord, this stall is too big, overseas, southern, northern, along the Yangtze River, there are a lot of things every day, if it weren't for the lord inventing Arabic numerals, the statistics are much more convenient, I'm afraid my subordinates won't be able to see the lord." Zhang Zhao said complainingly.
Zhang Yu smiled bitterly, as the prime minister of a big force, it is indeed difficult to be a prime minister with a fast development speed and a very large territory.
In particular, if you don't have enough money to spend, you have to calculate where to invest your money first.
After Zhang Yu understood, he also knew Zhang Zhao's difficulties.
"Sit, please sit, I know that Zibu is lucky, come back this time, and relieve your pressure." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Zhao shook his head with a wry smile, it's strange that Zhang Yu can relieve his pressure, maybe when he will come up with some new tricks.
Waiting for Zhang Zhao to sit down, Zhang Yu said: "First of all, the northern region has developed, and there is no need for direct support from Huiji in the future, as long as normal trade exchanges are maintained." ”
Zhang Zhao nodded, this can indeed save a lot of money every year.
The war in the north is under great pressure, and there are many troops to raise, and in many cases, it is only by relying on the support of the south that so many troops can be raised.
If you throw away the north, there is indeed a lot less pressure here.
It stands to reason that it should not be difficult for millions of people in the north to raise 200,000 troops.
However, many people in the north have just been converted from refugees, and they have not contributed much for two or three years.
But now that the North has stabilized, and through trade, it has been well stocked, and the largest military investment can be alleviated, so there is no need for a large investment.
The north also established many workshops and also established its own salt drying fields, which made it self-sufficient.
At the same time, Zhang Yu decided to set up Dongyi as a separate county, and Zhang Yu directly called Taiwan Province.
Establish a unified administration in Taiwan, like other counties, so that Zhang Zhao does not have to directly manage each of the following counties, but can be managed by one person.
In this way, Zhang Zhao's pressure will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, the overseas part, Zhang Yu also became independent first and managed it in a unified manner, and Zhang Zhao only needed to coordinate.
Several decisions did reduce Zhang Zhao's burden a lot.
Zhang Yu also decentralizes power in doing so, handing over several places to different people to manage.
At the same time, Zhang Yu also planned to refer to the three provinces and six ministries system in later generations to carry out reforms, but that was a state act and it was difficult to deal with it for the time being.
If you get it, it will be a blatant rebellion, such as Yuan Shu being the first to be the emperor, and he will die so miserably in the end.
These can only wait for the time being, Zhang Yu can't do that yet.
After discussing the decentralization of management with Zhang Zhao, a day passed, and there were too many things to consider, so Zhang Yu couldn't order it so quickly.
When Zhang Yu told Zhang Zhao about the marriage with Cai Yan, Zhang Zhao said: "Lord, now your identity is different, this marriage must not be as hasty as last time, but in this way, you will be wronged by the mother of Xiang." ”
Zhang Zhao is talking about Xiang Xin, she is the main room, if Zhang Yu gets married later, the pomp will surpass her, so how can she be embarrassed.
Zhang Yu frowned and said, "No need, there are too many cumbersome and troublesome weddings, everything can be simple." ”
Zhang Zhao didn't agree, but shook his head and said: "My lord, we must do it big, and we must invite the princes of the world to follow the top family." ”
Zhang Zhao then explained: "The Jiangdong region has not been taken seriously, and people all over the world despise our Jiangdong region, we just want them to come and see, let them know what changes have taken place in Jiangdong under the governance of the lord today, enhance the prestige of the lord, and change the world's impression of the lord." ”
Change the impression, change the impression of Koto, and many things will be much easier.
For example, many people will attach importance to the relationship with the Jiangdong region, and at the same time, there will be some talents who will take the initiative to work together.
In particular, the Koto area is full of business opportunities, and inviting those families to observe the ceremony and let them inspect the products of the Koto area may be able to create a lot of business.
At this time, Zhang Yu also felt that it was necessary to invite people from all over the world to Jiangdong.
Zhang Yu had no reason to refuse, and asked Zhang Zhao to arrange someone to prepare.
Zhang Zhao immediately made this matter a top priority to prepare.
Jiangdong is not in a hurry, but it is very particular about determining the time and then determining who to invite.
After discussing with Zhang Yu, it was decided to invite the princes and celebrities of the world, as well as all the top families.
These are all invitations to be officially issued, and Zhang Yu also has to spread all over the world, as long as he is willing to participate, he can come to participate.
Zhang Yu knew that the population had skyrocketed several times, and there must be some capable people that he didn't know, and if he could collect a few, it would be too useful to the forces.
Zhang Yu knew that this was an opportunity to show Jiangdong's demeanor, and he also had to parade.
