Chapter 1200: End of Inspection

()...,

Going south for inspection is what Zhang Yu has always wanted.

He wondered if the South had developed as he had imagined.

Zhang Yu paid great attention to the expectations of the south.

As long as the south can develop, there will be no hunger in China. This is very important to Zhang Yu. Many of Zhang Yu's strategies need to develop the south.

For example, if Zhang Yu wanted to protect the environment in the northwest region, he could not let the large-scale planting of food damage the environment, so where did their food come from?

Only when the southern side continuously transports grain, can they carry out other activities and make money to buy grain.

It is too far to think about these things, Zhang Yu may only be able to come up with some ideas and some grand strategies in this life, and let future generations implement them.

But Zhang Yu needs to lay a good foundation, at least transporting food should be cheap, if it is too expensive, there is no specific meaning.

Zhang Yu stayed in Shanghai for several days, and many ideas here still cannot meet Zhang Yu's requirements.

But Zhang Yu allowed them to slowly improve, but they must be able to see the actual effect.

At the same time, Zhang Yu planned several industrial lands far away from the urban area, and planned to build many workshops here.

The owner of the workshop will not refuse this time. It is close to Shanghai and the port is very convenient to transport the goods.

Zhang Yu encourages business, encourages making money, and at the same time encourages growing food, so there is no food instability.

The effect is very good. Not only is the industry and commerce in the south very developed, but agriculture has not been left behind.

In this way, it is all thanks to Zhang Yu who has been promoting innovation and developing the south.

Zhang Yu continued to travel south, this time directly to Guangdong.

Zhang Yu went south by boat this time, and arrived in Guangdong in a few days.

Here, the port is very busy every day, and the tax contribution here is already very high.

When Zhuge Liang came, Zhang Yu had to give him a lot of financial support, and at the same time asked him to withhold all the tax revenue. Now that Zhang Yu is here, a large amount of tax revenue can already be contributed here every year.

Western Guangdong is also slowly developing.

Zhang Yu took a look at the port, and there were three fleets here in one day, and the three fleets brought back a lot of wealth from overseas. These wealth had to enter customs here, and then calculate the tax.

The tax is very high. When you go to sea, no matter what you bring back, you have to pay 20% tax.

There is no need to pay taxes when you go out. Who knows if something will happen to the businessman, and whether you will make money when you go out this time.

So, wait until they come back and collect taxes.

In fact, it is also very simple. When they go out, they are all commodities, and they basically don’t have much money.

Is it possible to withhold 20% of the goods as a tax?

It's better to wait for them to go out and sell them, and then collect taxes from them, so that more taxes will be collected.

They are profiteering, so Zhang Yu charges high tariffs on them.

A 20% tax is more than 100 million silver coins a year, because this foreign trade is too profitable.

Overseas gold and silver seem to be free of money.

A large amount of gold and silver were imported.

This has led to more and more gold and silver coins in China, and a large amount of funds has promoted the development of commerce.

Zhang Yu is going to inspect the governance situation here this time, to see if the officials are corrupt, to see if the people are oppressed by the evil forces, and at the same time, to see if the place is far away from the center and whether the various regulations are implemented in place.

It is too far away from the center. Now that the road is repaired, it will take more than two months to go back and forth. Of course, if you go fast, you can get there in 20 days.

Therefore, the situation here is not easy to grasp.

The situation in Guangdong is very good. This is a good place to connect with the southeast region and South Asia.

The fleet set off from here, and there is little danger, because many strongholds have been arranged along the road.

These strongholds continued to grow, slowly turning from a stronghold into a county, and then slowly spread out.

In the southeastern region, some larger islands have set up strongholds.

Zhang Yu and the others also have two or three fleets to explore various places every year, and then bring back the map.

Some merchants also organize adventure teams. Once they find something valuable and dedicate it to Zhang Yu, they will also get rich rewards.

A lot of goods were shipped out from here, and a lot of wealth was shipped back.

Spices, they had found, opium, they had also found.

These things are all monopolized by Zhang Yu, and ordinary merchants can only trade ordinary commodities.

But common goods can make them rich too.

Zhang Yu carefully investigated the officials here and looked at the lives of the people here.

Undoubtedly, this is a rapidly developing land.

Zhang Yu secretly investigated for about ten days before revealing his identity.

Zhang Yu's sudden appearance here shocked the officials here.

Thousands of miles away from the capital, but Zhang Yu appeared here.

The officials were shocked that Zhang Yu could suddenly appear here. I am afraid that everyone in the world will be under Zhang Yu's leadership, and no one can take chances.

Zhang Yu lived in Guangdong for a few days, and then went back.

This time, the governance here in Guangdong is still good. Although there are many disadvantages, they are not serious.

"Next year, send a cabinet in for a while, and then it will be fine."

Here, although it is far away from the center, it is much more convenient to communicate. Zhang Yu has built a relatively complete system of post stations, and if it is urgent, he can communicate quickly.

Zhang Yu went back, this station, Zhang Yu thought of express delivery.

If all counties are mailed, I don't know how.

The express delivery industry, the postal business, does not know whether it could have developed in ancient times.

If this is the case, then there must be normal exchanges between various places.

Zhang Yu felt that the capital city and the surrounding areas could be tested first, and this should be gradually promoted.

If you can, you can give it a try.

Zhang Yu didn't know if it was possible to develop this business. In ancient times, apart from sending letters or other things, it seemed that there was not much need for it.

But if there is no demand, then slowly develop the demand and stimulate their needs.

Requirements can be developed in the later stage. Zhang Yu has this idea, so take it slowly.

Letters, semi-monthly magazines, and general official documents can all be handled by the post office.

This requires all the roads to be repaired, so that the timeliness will be fast.

This is a long-term matter, which will be discussed later.

Zhang Yu returned to Jiangdong, which is the place where he started, and the scale of Wangcheng is very large.

Today, the development of Wangcheng is not inferior to that of Beijing, and it is still the center of culture.

Here, there is Jiangdong Academy, and there are Jiangdong businessmen who get up early.

Here, rich people gather, and it is also the center of gravity of the surrounding area.

Zhang Yu returned to his home again. After many years, Zhang Yu was about to obtain the entire Chinese artifact.

"It's almost time, let me end this chaotic era and let the whole of China take off."

Zhang Yu is ambitious, and he is already qualified to be the leader of this era.

Zhang Yu has already asked the cabinet to prepare, and it will not be long before the attack will be launched.

His first goal was not Liu Bei, but Ma Teng.

In Liangzhou, there is no danger to defend.
