Chapter 1125: Back to Peking
Fighting Jingzhou earned hundreds of thousands of sets of weapons and equipment, as well as a large amount of arrows and other supplies.
These Jingzhous were seized by themselves without any use.
The entire Jingzhou was not destroyed, and it was completely taken by Zhang Yu.
It is even more difficult to count the seized materials, not to mention the money, food, weapons and equipment that are easy to count, there are always many valuable things in the houses of various aristocratic families. If these are carefully classified, they can be sold for a big profit.
In short, with Zhang Yu's military expenses, he can directly prepare to attack Cao Cao.
"Everyone, prepare separately and train your troops in Jingzhou."
In the autumn of 206 AD, Zhang Yu defeated Jingzhou and ordered a large-scale military training around Jingzhou.
When Zhang Yu quickly captured Jingzhou, the world was shocked even more.
When the news spread, the whole China was shaken.
Let's talk about Liu Bei and Cao Cao first. Cao Cao was naturally shocked. He immediately sent more troops to Nanyang and asked Cao Ang to guard Wancheng.
Needless to say, Zhang Yu's next target is him.
And when Liu Bei received the news, he locked himself in the house drinking and got a hangover.
This drink drank Liu Bei's ambitions.
After finally occupying Sichuan, there is a prospect of development, but Zhang Yu quickly broke through Jingzhou.
Although he can't hurt him yet, Liu Bei also knows that he has no hope of fighting out in this life.
He just wanted to live a good life for his King Shu, for the rest of his life.
The happiest ones are naturally those businessmen in the east.
"Hahaha, cool, I can make money with His Majesty again."
"The businessmen from the Jingzhou family have been swept away. This is our opportunity."
"Immediately take five million silver notes and rush directly to Jingzhou."
"Go to Jingzhou quickly, I can only drink soup when it's late."
"Immediately charter ten large ships, bring all kinds of supplies, and then go to Jingzhou."
"Jingzhou market is too big,
Don't let it go, let's go right away. "
The merchants in the east immediately killed them when they smelled the fishy smell.
They were not short of money, waved the silver bills, and rushed to Jingzhou in large numbers.
This Jingzhou is really too rich, and various aristocratic families used to occupy it.
It can be said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Jingzhou was the place with the most aristocratic families.
Here in Jingzhou, it was relatively stable before. Even when Liu Biao, Liu Bei, and Cai Mao made troubles, Jingzhou was not hurt. These aristocratic families did not suffer any losses.
It can be said that Jingzhou has not experienced any major wars most of the time.
Jingzhou has become the best refuge for the aristocratic family.
Now that Zhang Yu has occupied Jingzhou, Jingzhou is so rich that the merchants in the east can't sit still.
Banks were the first to settle in. Zhang Yu opened more than 20 banks in Jingzhou at once, and built several treasuries at the same time.
The businessmen from the east rushed over all of a sudden, and this Jingzhou will soon prosper.
Zhang Yu was naturally very happy when they came.
"Choose some houses and shops for our own use, and sell the rest. It shouldn't be a problem to sell tens of millions." Zhang Yu said to Guo Jia after reading a long list.
Zhang Yu still retains a lot of his own industries, mainly several strategic items.
Salt, white wine, tea, these things that can change the situation, Zhang Yu still has personal control.
Then there is the manufacture of ironware, which is an industry of weapons and equipment. Although there are also civilian uses, they are all controlled by Zhang Yu.
There are many other industries, such as ceramics.
However, as long as it is not about major issues, Zhang Yu has no monopoly. He can do it, and so can businessmen.
Although Jingzhou has been through the war, it has not been destroyed, so the land price is still high, and the real estate has not depreciated. Zhang Yu can still sell a lot of real estate.
Check the real estate of the aristocratic family, not only the house, but also the shops, and these shops are valuable.
Zhang Yu dealt with it in Xiangyang for more than ten days before he initially sorted out the things in Jingzhou.
After checking and counting tens of millions of silver coins one after another, these wealth, added up, are enough for Zhang Yu to spend two or three years.
In this way, the financial problem is solved at once.
This time Zhang Yu called several of his subordinates.
"I'm going back to Beiping in a few days, and I can't go out for a long time. Now that winter is about to enter, I will not be able to fight against Cao Cao until the beginning of spring next year."
Zhang Yu looked around and said, "All the generals, except Elai and come back with me, the rest must continue to train. Wen Yuan was transferred to Jizhou, where he was preparing to attack Cao Cao from the north. Gong Jin was transferred to Yanzhou to assist Gao Shun in fighting tigers." locked up."
After making some arrangements, Zhang Yu was going back, but it wasn't the class teacher returning to the court, only he went back with a small number of people, and the army stayed behind.
Everyone had no opinion, and Zhang Yu began to arrange things in Jingzhou again.
"Jingzhou affairs and government affairs are presided over by Xu Chen. I will transfer some more people to enrich the entire official system."
Zhang Yu arranged everything, and then brought 30,000 troops to escort 200 million silver dollars back. The rest of the money was either kept or transferred to other places.
With so much money earned this time, Zhang Yu can do many, many things.
A few days later, after the arrangements were made, Zhang Yu left.
On the way, Zhang Yu thought: "Ling Cao and Kong Ming don't know how they are doing, it's time to call them back."
In Guangdong, Zhuge Liang has developed greatly since he arrived.
Over the past few years, hundreds of miles of roads have been built in Guangdong, and all the tax revenue has been used to build various roads in the province.
It can be said that under the support of Zhang Yu and under the auspices of Zhuge Liang, it has developed rapidly, not only the port, but also the mainland.
The whole of Guangdong has been on the right track, and Zhang Yu also wants to transfer Ling Cao and Zhuge Liang back.
"Order that the General Academy be moved to Beiping, and the Military Academy begin to be upgraded, with a schooling period ranging from three to five years. Let the cabinet begin preparations for recruiting students. Ling Cao will continue to serve as the Vice President of Administration."
On the way, Zhang Yu finally made up his mind and called Ling Cao back.
Ling Cao has been hiding in the snow for a while, and no one dares to mention what happened back then.
Zhang Yu's strength, no one can attack him.
Letting Ling Cao return naturally has Zhang Yu's consideration.
First transfer him to Peiping and let him continue to manage the affairs of the military academy.
As for Zhuge Liang, it will take some time before he can be transferred back.
If Zhuge Liang comes back, he may serve in Beiping. Zhuge Liang's target should be a member of the cabinet.
However, Zhang Yu didn't want him to enter the cabinet early. It wasn't that Zhuge Liang didn't have the qualifications, but that he was too young, and he should be a firefighting captain to deal with various difficult things in the local area.
Regardless of these, Zhang Yu speeded up all the way, and finally rushed back to Peiping after more than 20 days. They pulled a lot of things, and they were able to go so fast, but there were still many places that went straight on the road.
Back in Beiping, Zhang Yu immediately asked the cabinet to prepare for a cabinet meeting.
