Chapter 1199 Southward Inspection

()...,

Zhang Yu had ceased fighting for nearly two years, and now he is preparing again.

At this time, he has not started any projects, but is saving money to prepare for war.

War needs money. A month ago, another batch of gold and silver was shipped back from North America, adding up to tens of millions of silver coins.

The money was just in time. Zhang Yu asked people to start preparing immediately. The money was going to be used as military expenses.

Zhang Yu doesn't care about the taxation, let the cabinet distribute it, and finish all the follow-up projects, and he is going to start to unify the world.

"I haven't been out of Beijing for a year and a half, so I have to inspect the south again, and then prepare to go to war."

It takes time to prepare for battle. Although Zhang Yu and the others have prepared for a long time, they still need to prepare again.

This time, Zhang Yu's plan is to start a war on both sides at the same time, instead of keeping Ma Teng.

The innovation has reached a certain level, and the next step is to fight abroad to divert the contradictions and determine the political system.

After Zhang Yu finished the battle, I believe everyone got used to it, and there was no chance to make trouble again.

During the Great War, those who dared to make trouble were idiots. At that time, they didn't just go to work on the construction site, and maybe even lost their heads.

Zhang Yu searched all morning, took Dian Wei, and dozens of guards and set off.

This time, he is going to visit Linzi, Shandong, and also to Shanghai.

Judging from the report received by Zhang Yu, these two places are developing very well, but you still need to go and see for yourself.

Linzi, the geographical location is not very good, but it is not bad.

If maritime trade is developed here, it is not a very ideal situation. The distance from the north and the south is too far. This era is not the future, and the ships are not so fast.

But after all, the conditions are not bad.

It took Zhang Yu a few days to arrive in Linzi.

At this time, outside Linzi City, there were already more than 300 workshops concentrated here.

This is the industrial area that Zhang Yu wanted to build before.

In the industrial area, there are more than 300 workshops here, forming a large area, with thousands of workers, forming a small market town.

Around this industrial area, many businesses have been established.

There are many private houses built around for these workers to live in.

Since the establishment of this industrial zone, it is very easy to manage, centralized management, and accidents are not easy to occur.

In the beginning, those workshop owners were reluctant, but finally Zhang Yu decreed that the local officials gave them property rights protection, so they were allowed to establish workshops here.

But now they will.

They are all in the same workshop. If you want to buy any goods, you don't have to run away. You can go directly to other people's workshops to see, and you can sign the contract on the spot.

It is also very convenient for some merchants who come from outside to buy. They can go directly to each house without running.

In this way, it is much more convenient for those workshop owners to advertise. They don't have to look for business opportunities everywhere, they just need to wait for business opportunities to be found here.

Many businessmen from other places, this is a must-visit area.

Here, buying and selling is easy.

Zhang Yu disguised himself as a caravan, and when he entered, he saw someone holding a sign to solicit business, and asked what kind of business their caravan was for.

There are also a lot of businessmen coming and going. Now there is no need to ask the workshop owner to settle here, but those who are capable should take the initiative to settle here.

Here, it is convenient to do business, and orders often come to them, keeping them busy.

Now when doing business, there is a bureau called the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which needs to be registered, and the name of the registered name must be used for signing contracts. When signing the contract, I feel a lot more at ease, and dare to produce after paying the deposit.

Zhang Yu wandered around the industrial area for two days. All the products produced were ordinary products, and all the products were sold in nearby areas.

"Yes, with centralized management, this place will also become one of the birthplaces of capital."

The gathering of these three hundred workshops will gradually form a market. When these people make money and continue to expand production, they will naturally have to pay taxes when they make money. Have the strength to do other things.

After some investigation, Zhang Yu was very satisfied.

"Capital can germinate, and I don't know how many new things will be promoted in the future." When Zhang Yu left, he was very confident.

This industrial zone is still very primitive, but it has accumulated experience and knows how to solve some problems. Zhang Yu plans to open a few more industrial zones, and then gradually expand them.

There must be one around the capital, so that Zhang Yu can know in time what problems will arise.

In this industrial zone, the annual tax payment is very considerable. The tax revenue of more than 100,000 silver coins, as well as driving the downstream, the commercial firms and shops that sell these commodities also need to collect taxes.

Continue to develop, and when the capital sprouts, it will promote the rapid development of the empire.

After Zhang Yu saw the industrial zone in Linzi, although there were still many problems, he just had to improve it slowly.

Then, Zhang Yu continued to go south, and this time he wanted to go directly to Shanghai, but Xuzhou City didn't even plan to go.

In Shanghai, Zhang Yu has given great expectations here. It has been more than two years, and I don't know how the situation is now.

It took Zhang Yu and the others more than ten days to investigate along the road before arriving here.

Shanghai is already a bustling city. At this time, the city wall is still low and very weak. Although it is three or four meters high, it is very thin. It is estimated that the enemy will collapse after a few hits.

But it doesn't matter, there will be no enemies here.

The city has expanded to a large size. At the beginning there were only a few hundred thousand people, but now the reported population is 370,000.

This is already a big county, although Zhang Yu has already mentioned the county level.

Entering Shanghai, you can feel the prosperity here, and the breath of money is everywhere here.

On the road, there are many workers, who may work at the wharf here, or may be people from the caravan, and there are also many rich people.

On the road, Zhang Yu encountered the rich and the workers the most.

The streets on both sides are very spacious. There are many shops here, but many of them are hotels and restaurants.

There are many hotels, but the high-level ones stay with the low-level ones. Obviously, the operators still don't know how to separate them.

For these caravans that come and go, the workers have to live in the shop, and they also have to live in the shop. Those who are rich may even buy a yard here.

"Here, will it become the city that never sleeps in the east, and live a luxurious life ahead of time?"

Walking on the street, Zhang Yu learned about this emerging city.

Here, the geographical location is very important to connect the north and south, and the east and west.

"Let the business empire transform the world."

After entering the city, Zhang Yu knew that the city was indeed developing very well.

According to Zhang Yu's tax reports from Shanghai, the tax revenue here is already better than that of many old counties and even the former state offices. A large amount of goods and money are operating here, driving the development here.

"In this era, no one can compete with me."

Zhang Yu opened up business, opened up overseas, opened up the world, and no one can compete with him.
