Chapter 1040

Xun Yu observed that there were more than 1000 people in the caravan, pulling a lot of goods.

But they found that there were only 100 guards.

There are so many goods. In the past, there were more escorts than people pulling goods.

A caravan of five hundred people may have a thousand guards.

But now, let him sigh.

"Brother, are you from Jiangdong?" Xun Yu said to the owner of the caravan.

"Yes, they come from Jiangdong and go to Beiping to pull some things. The main purpose is to transport some leather goods here to sell." Said the owner.

"Your team is so big, how can you protect so many people?"

"Hey, it's a symbolic invitation. It's not a fear of being bullied by foreigners. Last time we stayed in a village, we charged us hundreds of dollars more." Said the caravan owner.

Xun Yu's head was full of doubts. He should not be on guard against being robbed. How did it become such a thing?

"You're from the outside." After hearing Xun Yu's question, the owner judged it.

Xun Yu gave a wry smile and saw that he was a man who didn't know anything when he came here.

Xun Yu said with a wry smile, "yes, I was in Yanzhou and couldn't get along. I read some books and wanted to come here to find something to do."

When the owner heard that the other party was a scholar, he clasped his hands and said, "Hey, I like to deal with a scholar best. It's right for a scholar to come here. Mr. Zhang knows people well and is good at their duties."

The owner of the caravan praised Zhang Yu again, which made Xun Yu feel helpless.

Patiently waiting for the master to finish, Xun Yu asked: "you don't need to ask a lot of guards, can you make a lot of money at a time?"

When he heard that he was making money, the owner immediately began to smile and said with satisfaction: "if you sell everything smoothly, you can make tens of thousands of money and run five or six times a year."

"So much? Isn't it said that there are various fees to be paid here? " Xun Yu asked deliberately.

The owner said, "well, the tax is very high, but it's more cost-effective than before. It's protected by Zhang's army. It's very safe all the way, and there's no need to hire a lot of guards. It's more worth the money."

Businessmen are very good at accounting, so they are very willing to pay the tax.

Xun Yu mainly wanted to know if there were any exorbitant taxes and levies, but there were no other expenses except taxes.

So it's really profitable.

In the past, aristocratic families also made a lot of money. What they made was huge profits.

But it's all the collusion between the government and the business to monopolize the trade.

Xun Yu didn't know how to evaluate Zhang Yu's mercantile policy.

"It's mercantile. Maybe only Mr. Zhang has it." Xun Yu said with emotion.

Your boss also said: "yes, in the past, scholars all stressed agriculture and suppressed commerce. Before, they didn't know what was wrong. The emphasis on agriculture was to ensure the stability of grain, but now commerce and agriculture are also important. People not only have money, but also have more grain."

Since Zhang Yu came, the grain yield has been much higher, and there has never been a lack of food.

Xun Yu didn't know how to answer this. He was in Yanzhou, and it was Zhang Yu who forced them to pay attention to business.

Xun Yu knew more.

It will take five or six days to get to Peiping. Xun Yu plans to follow the caravan all the way to learn more.

The owner of this caravan has to travel north and South several times a year, so he knows a lot about it.

"When will this lane be completed? It's so fast to take those lanes." The owner said with emotion.

"When I was in Yanzhou, it was said that Mr. Zhang built this road, which cost people money and killed many migrant workers." Xun Yu said again.

"It's all nonsense. The dead don't know, but I know that the road doesn't cost the people a cent, and the people are fighting to repair the road. If they go to the construction site to repair the road by themselves, they can support their family. What a good thing."

Many statements have verified the content of Xun Yu's investigation.

He knew from every aspect that the great rule here was better than ever, let alone compared with other vassals.

A lot of policies, so that he can not understand, but the effect is very good.

According to Xun Yu's experience and calculation, Zhang Yu's land tax alone can not support such a large expenditure.

However, he also thought of salt. Now it's no secret to bask in salt with sea water.

In the southeast, all the coastal areas were occupied by Zhang Yu, so there was no need for him to keep this secret.

Anyway, people can't imitate when they know.

Xun Yu entered Beiping city with all kinds of problems.

This Beiping city once again made him marvel that there was such a huge city at the border.

This city has surpassed Luoyang.

The streets are prosperous and orderly.

"Mr. Xun, I live in Dongsheng inn. I will stay here for more than ten days this time. If you have anything, please come to me." When we parted, the owner said to him.

Xun Yu quickly gave him a heavy gift. Along the way, people really treated him very well.

"I will visit you. I have no relatives. When I find a job, I will thank you."

The two were separated for the time being.

Xun Yu left. After he left, he wandered around the city.

There is no purpose.

"The emperor is gone. Besides Zhang, who is qualified?"

"Ha ha, the old man, what life the common people had, there were dead people on the roadside. It's time to change such an emperor."

"Well, the whole world will be blessed if you replace Mr. Zhang."

When Xun Yu heard all kinds of comments, he was very sad.

The man he was loyal to was so unbearable here that the people didn't think of him at all.

Great men have existed for hundreds of years, but now they are despised.

"Oh, people."

Xun Yu saw the hearts of the people here. The people here lived a stable life. Naturally, he didn't want this kind of life to be destroyed.

When he drank tea alone, he was bitter and didn't know what to do in the future.

He no longer has the object of loyalty, the Great Han has been destroyed, even if other Han clan came to power, it can not represent the Great Han.

Xun Yu knew a lot of information when he was the chief steward of Cao Cao, but this kind of information was processed, which was not as strong as his own experience.

Zhang Yu's reputation among the people is so good. He is greedy for money, lecherous, evil and murderous, which they publicize.

When Xun Yu came out of the teahouse, he was even more confused, so he wanted to visit the Academy in Peking.

Although Beiping Academy was established for a short time, it developed rapidly.

"What kind of person can build such a peaceful world?" Xun Yu was perplexed.
