Chapter 1126 Complicated State Affairs

After Zhang Yu came back, he rested for half a day. Early the next morning, a cabinet meeting was held in the palace.

This time, there were only five people in the cabinet meeting, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai were absent.

Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Jushou, Chen Gong, and Tian Feng all held a thick stack of materials in their hands.

These days, they have too much to report and sort through.

Several cabinet members reported the situation of Zhang Yu's territory in detail.

This report takes a few days, each person is responsible for a part, and the report is also a few days.

Zhang Yu pays more attention to financial issues, because after repeated wars, it is impossible not to pay attention to them.

"My lord, there is a large surplus of money in our national treasury. The main reason is that we captured too much in this battle. Not only did we not lose money, but we also made a lot of money."

"We asked the Ministry of Communications to start surveying immediately, and planned to focus on building a few roads."

Zhang Zhao reported on the financial situation.

Zhang Yu didn't answer, but calculated carefully.

This money is spent as soon as it is spent, it’s nothing, Zhang Yu needs to estimate how much he can earn in a year now.

In the future, there may be successive battles, and not every time it will be as smooth as this time.

"Gu Yong, come and report our current financial revenue, and see how much money we need to keep as a backup."

Gu Yong began to report, and based on his calculations.

"My lord, overseas, in this year, a total of more than 140 million silver coins have been shipped back, and the number is still increasing. Fusang still has a batch, but it has not come back in time."

Zhang Yu nodded, and then said: "From now on, 30% of the money brought back from overseas will be reserved for the development of overseas parts."

Zhang Yu can't just ask for it without development, this is wrong.

Then Gu Yong reported the tax situation in the territory.

Very optimistic, all places have settled down, the population is large, and taxes have skyrocketed.

Zhang Yu controlled more places,

The tax collected in a year is very, very high.

Moreover, Zhang Yu did not have to pay taxes for those with fame and fame like in the Ming Dynasty, resulting in a few million taels of money in the treasury, not as much money as many corrupt officials.

It's very simple. This person has fame and fame and doesn't have to pay taxes. Other people's fields are tied to him, and the court can't collect much money in a year.

And in the Ming Dynasty, merchants did not have to pay taxes.

Zhang Yu calculates that the annual tax is enough for him to support the war. If there is a war, he will reduce other expenses at that time.

"Okay, road construction is a major event. Except for extending the north-south road to Guangdong, all other roads should go west first." The future war may be in the west, and the east side can still rely on water transportation.

Several cabinets continued to report on matters.

The entire empire is very large, and there are naturally many things.

There are also a large number of sites overseas.

The meeting went on for a few days, and Zhang Yu said after learning about it in detail: "Now three new departments have been established, the Ministry of Public Security, which is responsible for arresting robbers. , give priority to selection from retired soldiers."

Although he was also responsible for catching robbers in the past, they were not very professional. Zhang Yu wanted to build a professional team, and they would do the usual disaster relief as long as the army did not need to be dispatched.

Then, Zhang Yu said: "Establish the Ministry of Justice and change jobs to handle legal judgments. These must be done by professionals, not by local governors. Not only are unjust, false and wrongly decided cases easy, but local administrators don't have so much time. Besides, they unprofessional."

Then Zhang Yu said: "Establish the Overseas Affairs Department to temporarily manage overseas affairs, organize research on more advanced ships, and draw maps uniformly."

Zhang Yu has newly established three departments. The Ministry of Public Security already had them before, but the organization is different. Previously, the local governor was largely in charge.

Now that Zhang Yu controls such a huge group, a unified public security system must be established.

Zhang Yu assigned tasks in detail, and several cabinets made detailed records, and then an enlarged meeting was held, and the heads of various departments were called.

Zhang Yu said again: "I want Xun Yu to be in the cabinet and Xu Shu to go to Changsha."

Both of them are in Jizhou, and now Jizhou has been fully controlled, but Changsha Xinde is mainly handled by Xi Zhicai now.

After a period of time, Xi Zhicai will definitely come back. He is a member of the cabinet. It is definitely a good thing to go to other places for a period of time, but he cannot stay away for a long time.

This Xun Yu's talent is no worse than that of several cabinet members, so it is no problem to let Xun Yu also enter the cabinet.

However, things can't be done overnight, Zhang Yu transferred Xun Yu back first, Xu Shu is still in Jizhou, and will be adjusting after a while.

The cabinet meeting lasted more than ten days before Zhang Yu had a clear understanding of all aspects of the entire empire.

"It's not easy, it's like fighting a war."

In the past few days, Zhang Yu had meetings during the day, and naturally he had to take good care of his wives at night. He was away all year round and finally came back, so he naturally had to play with his wives.

Play like that.

After more than ten days, all the work arrangements were completed, and Zhang Yu was able to relax a lot.

In this way, Zhang Yu recast his gaze to the outside world.

Ma Teng and the empire in the west are still hooking up, and the trade volume between the two sides has surged.

Zhang Yu didn't interfere, this is a Silk Road after all, and this road must be made prosperous, and everyone in the west must know that there is such a mysterious place.

Although the opponent's motives are not pure, but to conquer the East, the entire Western Empire does not have the ability.

It may bring about a catastrophe, but Zhang Yu cannot cut off his contacts with outsiders.

When this road becomes prosperous, Zhang Yu will naturally find an opportunity to take it back.

Zhang Yu didn't interfere with Ma Teng, but he blocked Ma Teng.

Today's Ma Teng, it is not so easy to develop.

Although a large number of various commodities poured in, this was all organized by Zhang Yu and the others.

Ordinary merchants were not allowed to deliver goods to Ma Teng. At the same time, Zhang Yu did not allow outsiders to enter Ma Teng's territory, but secretly absorbed the refugees from Ma Teng's side.

Although the population has been growing, part of it has been attracted by Zhang Yu.

As long as Ma Teng does not have enough population, they will not have enough strength by then.

Ma Teng was well aware of Zhang Yu's actions, but he had no choice.

If they turned against Zhang Yu, then Zhang Yu would directly block all the products, and Ma Teng would feel even more uncomfortable at that time.

Zhang Yu paid attention to overseas again.

Fusang is now the place that provides the most wealth. Who told them that they have a silver mine that can be mined for hundreds of years.

In the southeast region, after Zhang Yu has no shortage of money, let them continue to develop with their money.

The trade with Tianzhu has been growing rapidly, which makes the entire Guangzhou port very prosperous and drives the development of the entire Guangdong.

Everywhere, Zhang Yu left them enough money to open up wasteland and recruit people.
