Chapter 710

Set up commercial department to manage and guide commercial development.

Zhang Yu's biggest worry is that the government interferes too much in the development of business, which is just starting. If it interferes too much, many people will have too many concerns.

This will inhibit business development in the early stage, which is not what Zhang Yu wants to see.

But if it doesn't seem to work at all, disorderly competition and insufficient risk assessment, there will be events like Qiao Xuan.

The Ministry of commerce is very important. Zhang Yu must be in charge of it himself. He can't let the people below distort his policies and restrain business.

Zhang Yu found several assistants, and the Ministry of commerce is now in charge of it. When there is a suitable person, he will be in charge.

Zhang Yu began to study some details of the Ministry of Commerce, and he spent two days in his room studying them.

In these two days, Qiao Xuan returned all the money he borrowed, and the matter subsided.

Those who buy shares can only have their own misfortune, so they should take corresponding risks in doing business.

Zhang Yu left some money for Qiao Xuan, hundreds of thousands. Although it's not much, it's OK for Qiao Xuan to continue to do business or just live like this.

Zhang Yu will help Qiao Xuan. In addition to big Qiao and small Qiao, Qiao Xuan can compensate those who died first in his own difficult situation.

This era does not respect life, life is not as good as dog.

It's good that Qiao Xuan can do this. It's worth Zhang Yu's help.

The detailed rules of the Ministry of Commerce didn't come out so quickly. Zhang Yu set up the team first. He mobilized more than a dozen people to come over, and found a courtyard around the sheriff's office.

In addition, Zhang Yu also mobilized more than 20 backbones from the intelligence department to set up an investigation team to investigate various business information.

However, they have no right to act before the investigation.

Zhang Yu is back, but immediately into a busy state.

Zhang Yu is more likely to listen to reports, because he does not know much about his own territory now, so he needs to know something about it first.

It took Zhang Yu more than ten days to get a general idea of the affairs of Jiangdong and Youzhou.

On that day, Zhang Yu was still checking various materials on his desk. The sound of footsteps outside the study made Zhang Yu put down his paper.

As soon as the information was put down, Zhang Zhao pushed the door in.

There are only a few people who can come to the study to find Zhang Yu without notice. Zhang Yu knows it's a big event.

Zhang Zhao's face was heavy. After he came in, without waiting for Zhang Yu to ask him, he said, "Lord, the fleet you sent out to explore has come back. Except for the super ships, the other ships either sank or stayed. They can't come back."

In the age of great navigation, I don't know how many people will be buried in the sea, but no matter how great the sacrifice is.

"Well, settle them down, and then I'll summon them and reward them." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Zhao nodded his head and said, "although they have suffered a heavy loss this time, they have brought back important news. They have discovered a huge continent and have also made charts."

Zhang Zhao presented the chart to Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu picked up the chart, got up, quickly put it on an empty table next to him, and then spread it out.

"Australia ~"

Spread out the chart, Zhang Yu recognized Australia as soon as he saw the map. Zhang Yu didn't expect that they could reach Australia.

There should be no human in Australia at this time.

"That's great, that's great, that's great."

Zhang Yu is very excited.

I found Australia.

It's a long way from Australia. Zhang Yu didn't expect that they would be able to arrive. Although Zhang Yu told them the general location of Australia before he set out, what Zhang Yu said was very vague.

"Lord, is Australia really so big?"

"Well, yes, today's Australia is bigger than the area developed by China, but it is covered with wasteland and vast deserts, which must be developed by someone."

Although Australia is rich in resources, Zhang Yu doesn't think it has much effect on himself.

This is not the steam age. This wooden boat is the wooden boat. It can't transport a large number of ores safely.

But it's OK to send some gold and silver back.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu wants to turn Australia into the scope of Chinese civilization.

They are all Han people, learning Chinese and Chinese civilization.

The southeast region has been occupied by itself on a large scale. There are millions of Han people on it. After several generations of development, it can only be the circle of Chinese civilization in the future.

Regardless of the evolution of the later dynasties, they are all part of the Chinese civilization.

This is also the meaning of Australia.

However, Australia is rich in resources after all. Although the investment is large, it will not lose. As long as a large amount of gold and silver is transported back, it can make up for the loss.

But what makes Zhang Yudan painful is that how to immigrate to the past is a big problem.

It's too far away. If you go to the southeast, you can come back again. If you go to Australia, most people will never come back.

"There's plenty of time. A fleet of people will be sent there every year, and gradually more and more people will come."

Immigration is a must. To completely occupy Australia and turn it into a circle of Chinese civilization, there must be a corresponding population.

But it has to build a lot of ships. It's still a super big sea going ship.

Now Zhang Yu has built seven or eight ships, and five more are under construction.

This Zheng He treasure ship will cost millions of money. Even if Zhang Yu is rich, he can't afford to play with it. At the beginning, he made a batch of ships with his teeth clenched.

After all, Zhang Yu needed all kinds of ships, and other ships also had to invest, not just treasure ships.

The treasure boat is too expensive, and it takes eight months to build.

"When the funds are abundant, we need to build another batch. This time, we will mobilize five treasure ships for them to go to Australia." Zhang Yu decided to say.

To make use of the system to increase the population, we must first establish many counties in Australia. A county needs at least 1000 people. At present, there are not even 1000 people in Australia.

Zheng He's treasure ship has a large transport capacity. However, it is too far away and needs to transport a lot of fresh water and grain. Therefore, one ship can carry about 1000 people. With some auxiliary ships, one ship can carry 1500 people.

No matter how difficult it is, Zhang Yu can't give up and must occupy such a continent.

It may take hundreds of millions of money and take several years. Zhang Yu would rather slow down the development.

Doing it earlier has the advantage of doing it earlier, because it can increase a large number of people by using the system every month. Doing it earlier can develop it earlier, and time is the population.

Zhang Zhao didn't understand why Zhang Yu was so persistent in his overseas territory, and it was so far away.

If it's near, like the southeast, it can provide a lot of wealth every year, but Australia obviously can't.

"There will be America, there will be other places."

In fact, it was not Zhang Yu's plan to find Australia. The fleet he sent went to America, but they were caught in a storm at sea, and the ship deviated, and finally arrived in Australia.
