Chapter 1079

Zhang Yan, Zhang Yu is really going to arrange an army for him, at least 50000 people.

It's the ability to open your jaw.

Zhang Yu took up his jaw and began to relax again.

If the cabinet is in charge of the situation, he will listen to a report once every two or three days and issue some edicts.

Now there are four big things.

One is road construction. The north-south road is about to be completed, and Jizhou, Yanzhou and Zhangyu also plan to complete it in one year.

Second, the reform, will be multi sectoral with the counties and counties to cooperate well, there will be no problems.

The third is military training. The three-month military training has already started. After three months, we will rest for one month, and then continue the three-month military training.

All soldiers and horses have to go through two to three rounds of training.

Fourth, we need to make money. Although we spend a lot of money, we need to reserve some military expenditure for the development of the military in a year's time.

All kinds of things have been vigorously promoted.

Winter to spring, time passed quickly, in the twinkling of an eye, half a year passed.

"Half a year has passed. Is there going to be a mid-term exam?"

In the twinkling of an eye, half a year later, Zhang Yu asked the cabinet to make a report on the progress of various things and assess whether the war could start on schedule.

At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, Zhang Yu sat at the top, and all cabinet members were preparing to report with thick materials.

First of all, Zhang Zhaoxian's brief introduction.

"My Lord, the north and South lanes have been repaired, and the road construction army has been transferred to Jizhou and Yanzhou. The roads in both places have been repaired very quickly and can be completed ahead of time." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu nodded. This is good news. Once the road is repaired, the army will be faster and the consumption of food and grass on the road will be less.

Zhang Zhao continued to report: "in the past six months, many taxes have been collected in various places. Although the agricultural tax is relatively small, there are many other taxes. Even Zhuge Liang has sent back millions of taxes in the state."

Zhuge Liang actually collected a lot of taxes, but Zhang Yu allowed him to retain them for development. He didn't expect that he could send some back. It seems that the development of Jiaozhou is also very good.

It's close to India. It has a large population and can make a lot of money in trade.

Other states have contributed a lot of taxes.

Zhang Zhao opened several places to process gold and silver coins, which greatly eased the financial pressure.

"Lord, in the first half of the year, we didn't reserve any military expenditure. We spent it all, but we were well prepared for weapons and food. We could start a war at any time." Zhang Zhao concluded.

Zhang Yu nodded. He spent a lot of money in the past six months. Zhang Yu understood that the army's military training consumes a lot every day. Food and meat need to be increased. Two million people have to eat a lot of money every day.

These are nothing. Zhang Yu can raise them.

Ordnance, grain and grass are ready. We can save a little military expenditure in the second half of the year. Besides, there will be an autumn harvest in the second half of the year, and we will be able to collect a lot of agricultural taxes at that time.

Zhang Zhao's report was completed, and Gu Yong was asked to report.

"My Lord, our bank has been set up in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and the income is very good. From the second half of the year, we can make a lot of money for military expenditure."

This is another good news. The expansion of banks to several States is becoming more and more convenient, and their financing ability is becoming stronger and stronger.

This is a good thing. The family has a lot of gold and silver reserves, and each state has a vault, which can be used well.

After that, I made a separate report to Jizhou.

Jizhou is very important. Its geographical location is not to mention, but its foundation is still very good.

This is a place with developed economy and large population.

It is managed by Xun Yu and develops very fast. The growth rate has always been the fastest.

Can compare with Jiangdong and Youzhou.

It's a long time since these two places have been so good.

Jizhou, after all, had undergone great damage.

"Gongtai, I don't know what's going on over there?" Zhang Yu looks at Chen palace.

Chen Gong said: "Your Majesty, there is still a lot of shortage in talent reserve. Those who can be used are transferred to Yanzhou and Yuzhou. A new round of imperial examination has been prepared. There will be a first round of examination next month. After that, the official imperial examination will select some people."

Zhang Yu nodded, then said: "to establish a college in Yingchuan, the candidates can be arranged?"

Chen Gong was in a dilemma. After thinking about it, he said, "I have transferred dozens of graduate students and some teachers from other colleges, but some of them are not enough."

Senior talents are rare, and Zhang Yu's education system is so good that it is difficult to organize a higher college immediately.

"It's OK. A college needs to go through precipitation. In other colleges, more new people will be promoted to try. They will certainly expand in the future." Zhang Yu said.

After Guo Jia reported, Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord, I have good news. The Xiongnu gave in and wanted to trade with us again."

At first, the Huns attacked Youzhou while Zhang Yu was fighting in the Central Plains, but he was afraid. Later, under the drive of Lu Bu, they went far west and did not dare to invade the East.

In order to make them yield, Zhang Yu cut off his trade with them.

But they can also trade through other vassals. In the first half of the year, Zhang Yu even cut off several vassals for them.

On the grassland, it was difficult to obtain materials, especially the lack of salt and tea, so the Xiongnu could not support it.

"Well, we need money to continue to trade with them. Besides, don't push them too hard. If they join the Roman Empire, it will be more difficult for us."

Zhang Yu decided to reprimand the Xiongnu with a severe imperial edict, and asked them to offer a batch of cattle, sheep and horses, and then sell them things to them.

This is tantamount to allowing the Huns to recognize themselves as the emperor and become their own ministers just like the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

This is really good news.

At this point, Zhang Yu asked about Lv Bu.

Lu Bu still refused to fight for Zhang Yu, saying that he would only deal with foreign people and would not fight with princes again.

Zhang Yu also did not go to tube, this Lv Bu has no threat to oneself completely.

All kinds of things have developed rapidly, and Zhang Yu's war in the next spring has not been affected.

Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to report something about intelligence.

"Lord, the princes have been developing slowly for more than half a year. The main reason is that there are big problems within them. We have cut off their financial resources, and they dare not expand rashly."

"Even Cai Mao disbanded a lot of people, but he still had a little money, and he still expanded 100000 troops."

"Sun CE and Cao Cao have developed a little bit, but they are far behind us. Cao ang is not simple and is very defensive to us. Our espionage activities are very difficult here. Those who ambush in the past will not be exposed easily, and his subordinates will let them hide."

Zhang Yu nodded, these are not big things.

In the end, Zhang Yu said, "the Zhongqing family has done a good job. Continue to work hard and start the war as scheduled."

"Recently, Ma Teng is getting rid of his dissidents. I'm afraid he's making a big move. It's even more difficult for him to deal with when he excludes all the other small princes."
