Chapter 487

"What's good to see? I'm just a prisoner under your command. If general Zhang has any orders, I can say it at any time. I'll just do it." Sun Shangxiang not cold not light said.

Zhang Yu never took sun Shangxiang as a hostage. He just said so casually at the beginning.

In Zhang Yu's opinion, hostages are useless. The most important thing is strength.

As long as we have enough strength, we are not afraid that sun CE will not pay back the money.

Similarly, they have no strength, even if let Sun celai as a hostage?

"Ha ha, I didn't take you as a hostage. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. Of course, I never sent someone to watch you." Zhang Yu said.

Sun Shangxiang is silent, how can she not care about the identity of the hostage, very concerned.

Zhang Yu saw the conflict in sun Shangxiang's heart, so he said: "well, don't disturb you, you can also mention what you need, and I will try my best to help you. In other words, if your brother didn't attack me first, I was still close friends with your father at the beginning."

Sun Shangxiang understands that Zhang Yu helped Sun Jian a lot and sun ce a lot at the beginning. Zhang Yu helped sun ce a lot when their sun family could have a foothold in Changsha.

It is also sun CE who first attacks Zhang Yu and tries to destroy him, causing Zhang Yu to retaliate.

"Can we really raise demand?" At this time, sun Shangxiang said.

"Of course, if you can help, you can help." Zhang Yu said.

"I want to go to school." Sun Shangxiang said.

Zhang Yu scratched his head strangely, and then said, "I never forbid any women's College from going to school. You can go, but no one dares to stop you?"

"But I'm a hostage. No one dares to teach me." Sun Shangxiang said.

It turns out that this is the reason. Zhang Yu also has a headache.

After thinking about it, he said, "OK, I'll give you a student identity. Students have the right to attend classes in any school."

This is where Zhang Yu can help. If many teachers are not willing to teach, Zhang Yu has no choice but to force them to teach sun Shangxiang.

After all, there is still a big prejudice against women in this era. Zhang Yu didn't want to change this idea all of a sudden.

Sun Shangxiang silently nodded, and then whispered thank you.

Instead of staying, Zhang Yu continued to do his own business.

This time let the master of the college open class, but he did not dare to careless.

Zhang Yu turns around and records the places that need to be rectified before he goes to the teachers of the college.

Zhang Yu confirmed the members of the open class with them.

This time, Zhang Yu is going to make a big one. He is not only talking about Chinese culture.

Maybe Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and most of them only talk about classics and handouts, but Zhang Yu wants to tell them more.

Even if they are not interested in it, even if it is regarded as a miscellaneous subject, Zhang Yu has to say that it is good to attract some interested people.

Zhang Yu stayed in the college for several days, and met Cai Yan twice. They talked like friends for a long time, but they didn't say a word about the upcoming wedding.

They talked about a lot of poems. Fortunately, Zhang Yu has a strong memory, and with the knowledge of later generations, he can cope with the past.

The reason why Zhang Yu's memory is so powerful is that it has been strengthened several times.

Zhang Yu didn't go back until the college was settled.

After Zhang Yu left, many parts of the college began to reform.

After finishing these, Zhang Yu went back.

After going back, Zhang Yu has been paying attention to the whole world.

First of all, Zhang Yu is very concerned about his neighbor Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu finds the person in charge of intelligence.

"What do I want you to focus on?" Zhang Yu asked in his study.

Zhang Yu, the intelligence director, asked him to set up a special team to investigate the money shortage in Xuzhou.

"Lord, as you expected, the people in Xuzhou don't have much copper money to use. Not only they, but also their subordinates know that there is a serious shortage of money in Xuzhou. Even the taxes in Xuzhou are much less."

Tao Qian didn't notice that Xuzhou's tax revenue was reduced a lot. He thought it was because of the war.

In fact, there is a large amount of money shortage in the whole Han Dynasty. The simple reason is that the population suddenly soared, and then the money did not increase much.

Another reason is that money is more and more concentrated in aristocratic families, and people have less and less money.

There is only so much money. If an average person can have ten copper coins, now the population has increased several times, and the average is one copper coin.

Then most of the money is in the hands of the aristocratic family, and the coins in the hands of the common people may have one copper coin on average.

In this way, the transaction is very inconvenient.

Other places may be OK, but not in Jiangdong and Liaodong, because under Zhang Yu's rule, the economy was active, so there must be copper coins.

Tao Qian of Xuzhou and other senior officials did not find that there was a serious shortage of money among the people. Many people had to barter.

There will be a lot of trouble in the process. They may want to buy a salt and have no money to exchange it with grain, but they have to lower the price of grain slightly, which makes the people suffer losses.

And barter, to both sides just need, which increases the difficulty of the transaction.

When the government collects taxes, the people have no copper money in their hands and can only hand over other things.

It is also very inconvenient for the government to collect a lot of sweet potatoes.

"Well, don't think that there would have been no financial crisis in ancient times. When people had too little money and it was difficult to trade, there would have been all kinds of problems." Zhang Yu said after listening to the report.

Generally speaking, there was a shortage of money in the whole Han Dynasty. Xuzhou was the most serious, and then Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is rich and well-off, and the common people have a relatively good life. But because Zhang Yu dumped a lot of goods there, he collected a lot of copper money, and a lot of copper money was earned by Cai Mao, so there was a money shortage in Jingzhou.

But fortunately, Zhang Yu's gold absorption ability is strong, and he earns a lot of copper money from the outside.

Now the copper money is more abundant. Zhang Yu spends the copper money through various channels, so the copper money in the hands of the common people gradually increases.

Nowadays, Zhang Yu has cast a large number of coins, and the money shortage can be solved.

"I'm looking forward to the problems of money shortage in ancient times." After hearing the report, Zhang Yu said.

The market in Xuzhou is completely open to Zhang Yu, and some private businessmen have gradually penetrated into Xuzhou, but their scale is still small.

Zhang Yu's mercantilism policy has not been optimistic. Although Zhang Yu was rich under his rule, it is still not optimistic.

However, if someone makes an in-depth study, he will find that Zhang Yu's emphasis on business is right, but he has not relaxed at all on agriculture, and his investment is greater than anyone else's. If he takes out agriculture, Zhang Yu will definitely have the largest support and investment in agriculture.
