Chapter 469

There are a lot of minerals in Southeast Asia, but Zhang Yu doesn't know the specific location, so he can only let them find them by themselves.

In fact, it is not only the southeast region, but also the land of China is rich in mineral resources. There is definitely a large amount of gold, silver, copper and iron, but Zhang Yu does not know where they are distributed, and most of them have not yet been mined in this era.

So Zhang Yu took aim overseas.

According to Zhao Hai's introduction, these minerals were probably found in Indonesia and other places in later generations.

"Lord, when we arrived, we found that it was very easy to mine. Some of us went to explore the surrounding environment, some of us repaired ships there, and mined some of them. This time, we brought back a ship of minerals." Zhao Hai said again.

"Well, you've done a great job. All the crew should be highly rewarded. I'll let Zhang Zhao do it later, and your credit will be recorded. If you have a chance in the future, I'll give you an official title." Zhang Yu promised.

They have made a lot of contributions, enough to confer titles, but Zhang Yu does not have the power for the time being.

Zhao Hai was very moved. He didn't expect that a boatman would get such treatment here.

Zhang Yu finally personally sent Zhao hai to the door, so that Zhao Hai was moved, and someone felt like a confidant died.

In fact, Zhang Yu really attaches great importance to them, and the treatment is very high.

The great discovery of Southeast Asia, Zhang Yu has opened many routes there, and opened a number of counties.

But most of these need Zhang Yu's continuous investment. Now that he has discovered the mineral resources, Zhang Yu does not need continuous investment, but also has a return.

Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to come for a detailed chart, and then organized a huge fleet. In the early stage, he took thousands of people to go there, ready to open up a county, establish a stronghold, and then continuously mine ore.

In Northeast China, Zhang Yu asked Gu Yong to mobilize tens of thousands of people to search for ore, and after tens of thousands of people's dragnet search, he also found many mines.

Most of them are iron ore and coal mines, which are also very important. There are also copper and silver mines and gold mines, but only a small number.

Zhang Yu has now hoarded some ore and started to smelt coins. It won't be long before he can use his own coins, and then the money shortage will be alleviated.

When Zhang Yu made these plans, MI Zhu came.

"Here comes another god of wealth." Zhang Yu is very welcome to MI Zhu.

In fact, MI Zhu has been here for several days, but he didn't come to find Zhang Yu.

He had known Kuaiji County by hand before, and then Mi Zhu was shocked.

When did Jiangdong become so developed.

Mi Zhu even thought it was his men who cheated him, so he went on this mission and came here in person.

When he visited Jiangdong area for a few days, he was completely convinced.

Jiangdong is indeed very rich.

Mi Zhu was a man of vision. He personally visited many places.

He observed on the wharf for a day. The merchant ships were very dense, and a large number of products were being shipped out. Several docks were like this, and thousands of people were busy in one wharf.

After watching the wharf, MI Zhu went to see the most important agriculture.

The most important business of MI family was agriculture, so he attached great importance to agriculture.

When he finished his investigation of agriculture in Jiangdong, he was even more shocked.

The water system here is developed, and there are lots of farmland.

There are also tea gardens on the mountain.

Moreover, he found that farmers are very rich. They have farmland at home, and the most important thing is to have farm tools. Many people in other places are poor and have no farm tools, so their production efficiency is low.

There were many canals and water trucks in the field to irrigate. What shocked Mi Zhu was that a few families had a farm cow.

The importance of farming cattle is not to mention, a farming cattle is more valuable than a few people.

All this shocked Mi Zhu.

Obviously, MI Zhu's shock was more than that.

He finally knows Zhang Yu's courage to fight against all his aristocratic families.

Zhang Yu's own talent training system is very perfect.

Of course, this is a serious improvement in MI Zhu, but it is far from perfect in Zhang Yu's eyes.

At present, some counties with a large population will have a college, which can let hundreds of people study.

These are junior and intermediate colleges, and the students are relatively young.

There may be tens of thousands of people in a county, but only a few hundred people are educated. Obviously, the proportion of people receiving education is very small.

There are only two colleges of higher learning, one in the north and the other in the south.

All the talents cultivated by colleges and universities can be directly assigned to various local officials, but only 300 or 400 graduates each year.

Although the number of people is increasing, the expansion of Zhang Yu's power is still insufficient.

After MI Zhu's investigation, he was optimistic about Zhang Yu.

He suddenly felt that Zhang Yu had the greatest potential.

What a rational choice it was to marry my sister to Zhang Yu.

There are other things that shocked Mi Zhu, such as the prosperity of the city.

The city here may not be very big, but the economic prosperity in the city is also unimaginable in other places.

There are many kinds of shops and markets in the city. When people have money, they naturally have to consume. There are all kinds of shops and vendors.

And Zhang Yu's tax revenue is very large, which comes from the shops and markets here.

Zhang Yuding's tax is not high, but he can't hold on to a large number of people, so he has a lot of income every month.

Those vendors are also willing to pay taxes, because the tax rate is not high, and they can also get the protection of Zhang Yu.

In other words, the public security in Jiangdong is very good, there are no mountain bandits and there are few crimes.

Other places are full of mountain bandits. It takes a large number of people to transport some goods. These are huge costs.

In Jiangdong area, there is no need to be escorted when transporting goods. No one dares to rob here.

"To invest in Jiangdong, we must invest in Jiangdong." Mi Zhu decided to completely kidnap Zhang Yu's chariot after his investigation.

"It is said that Zhang Yu has a lot of overseas industries and is completely invincible. Zhang Yu and I are related by marriage, so we don't need to worry about coming to Jiangdong."

The reason why Mi Zhu wanted to come to Jiangdong was that Zhang Yu didn't blackmail merchants at all, on the contrary, merchants had a high status.

In other places, businessmen are inferior, and those in power can do whatever they want.

But here, Zhang Yu protects business.

After a few days of investigation, MI Zhu went to see Zhang Yu.

"Ha ha, brother MI, it's been a long time." Zhang Yu personally went to the gate to meet the elder brother.

Mi Zhu is indeed a tired face, but the spirit is very excited.

"Brother Zhang, I've been ordered to come here. I dare not say I'm lucky and miserable." Mi Zhu directly tells her intention.

Zhang Yu nods and greets Mi Zhu.

After entering, they sat down. Zhang Yu said directly, "it's not impossible for Tao Qian to ask me to strike. What sincerity did he ask you to bring?"

Mi Zhu chuckles bitterly. Zhang Yu is still like that. There is no etiquette at all. There is no politeness. There is no direct negotiation.
