Chapter 942

Zhang Yu is determined to develop the economy.

Without economy, we can't equip many troops, and we can't start the era of navigation.

Several policies, including the strategic layout of the territory, the burning of virgin forests, the recruitment of Fusang soldiers and so on, have been arranged one by one.

While Zhang Yu was vigorously developing his economy, Cao Cao attacked Jizhou. However, Zhang Yu always held him back, and the army made the gesture of attacking their rear from time to time, which made Cao Cao headache.

However, under the strong push of Cao Cao, he finally captured Yecheng.

But the price is too high, because Zhang Yu has been doing things in the rear, Cao Cao can not afford to delay, so he has been storming.

The price of the fierce attack was that he killed 200000 troops before taking down Yecheng.

After taking down Yecheng, Cao Cao had to stop attacking.

One is Zhang Yu's constant threat, and the other is his army's inability to improve its combat effectiveness without major adjustments.

Although yuan Shang and Yuan Xi gave up Yecheng, they still had a lot of troops, still fighting, and could not win in a short time.

Under such circumstances, Cao Cao could only suspend his attack and consolidate his achievements.

Cao Cao stationed a large number of troops in Yecheng, and then began to reorganize his troops. I'm afraid his troops can't do without reorganization.

Cao Cao was dragged down by Zhang Yu. He sacrificed 200000 troops to take down Yecheng, but the surrounding area of Yecheng was also controlled by him.

Today's Jizhou is divided into three counties by Zhang Yu, with about a quarter of the territory. The rest is like being divided up by Cao Cao.

The yuan family was in decline, and Jizhou's aristocratic family was in a panic. At this time, they were making three bets.

Of course, the yuan family is the least they want. Many of them have to follow the yuan family, but they have begun to make a lot of preparations secretly.

At the bottom of the bank, they exchanged a lot of silver bills through local merchants.

At the same time, the current aristocratic family has also learned to be proficient. They secretly sell a lot of industries. They sell them all, and then change them into banknotes. They can go wherever they want.

Of course, there are also people who buy industries at this time. Some aristocratic families have bad relations with Cao Cao and Zhang Yu, and even those who have enemies are eager to sell them off and go further.

Their price is very low, even half of it.

These people are not afraid of who will rule in the end. Anyway, they will be more active at that time.

Aristocratic families, in this era, are better to survive.

After Cao Cao got Yecheng, let Cao Ren guard, with a few generals, and Cheng Yu, then Cao Cao returned to Xuchang.

After Cao Cao's armistice, Zhang Yu's troops would not struggle.

It's a waste of military expenditure to continue to toss about. It's better to go back to the camp and train well.

In this way, Jizhou calmed down again.

For more than two months, Zhang Yu has not been concerned about the war and has been making money everywhere.

I have to say that Zhang Yu has the ability to make money.

He sent a lot of people to spread messages and guide others. The most important thing is that some businessmen appeared in Jizhou to help people exchange banknotes.

In this way, many people in need have exchanged a large number of banknotes.

A large number of gold, silver or copper coins flowed into Zhang Yu's Bank through underground channels.

Zhang Yu will ask people to make special statistics on the money. The money won't be exchanged in the short term. Zhang Yu will use it directly. When fusona's money is dug up, it will be filled up slowly.

If you make money like this, you don't need any interest. It's like wasting the other party's money.

Zhang Yu got another sum of money, and also got a sum of money from the merchants in Youzhou. As soon as he got the money, Zhang Yu threw it out.

At this time Guo Jia came back.

Guo Jia had a hard time and was very tired, but it was Guo Jia who went to find Ma Teng. It was not smooth.

Ma Teng received him warmly. After all, Zhang Yu supported him with a lot of money.

But when Guo Jia asked Ma Teng to help him, he agreed that he would not talk about the details with Guo Jia. When he met Guo Jia, he was also enthusiastic, but he was not interested in practical things.

"Lord, Ma Teng is still keen to fight for territory with the princes around him. He doesn't care about our affairs at all."

Zhang Yu had expected that there would be no world in front of them.

Ma Teng didn't cooperate, or was too lazy to cooperate, so Guo Jia went to Ma Chao.

In Guo Jia's opinion, it's more reliable to find Ma Chao, but Ma Chao directly asks Guo Jia to go ahead and say hello to him.

Guo Jia asked them to leave, not their passes.

Ma Chao means that he is not interested in these, but he can cover them. No one will embarrass the people sent by Guo Jia.

In this way, Guo Jia was disappointed again.

"Lord, it's better for Ma Yunlu to actively cooperate with us and do a lot of things for us. He also helped us contact some Hu merchants and learned more about the Roman Empire from them."

This time Guo Jia brought the news of the Roman Empire.

"Lord, from the news of Hushang, we can judge that the Roman army is very strong and powerful, and now it is fighting everywhere."

"In addition, they have sent a lot of people to get to know us in China. It's just a long way to go, and they don't know the language. What's more, they get to know something about the West."

What worries Zhang Yu is that the Roman Empire will invade China when there is no place to invade, and China will not be an opponent at that time.

"It looks like we need to speed up the plan."

Zhang Yu thought for a long time, must first guide the Roman Empire to attack other places, otherwise China is hard to resist.

When hundreds of thousands of Roman legions came from the west, no one could stop them.

Let Zhang Yu go, hundreds of thousands of troops to the west, logistics alone can drag him to death.

In ancient wars, logistics must be put in another place. Zhang Yu also ordered a fleet to prepare to sail to Europe, and brought a large number of goods to let the Roman Empire touch the sea and let them develop to the sea.

"All hope is in time."

This side is dragging the Roman Empire, while the other side is naturally going to unify China as soon as possible. After a few months of truce, Zhang Yu plans to restart the war.
