Chapter 471: Revealing a World
After Mi Zhu decided to side with Zhang Yu, he confessed directly.
"Master Zhou Mu promised that in a few days, he would collect 30 million yuan to give to Brother Zhang, but this is the limit of Xuzhou. After all, Xuzhou has just gone through a war, and the rest can be paid in other ways."
Zhang Yu thought about it, 30 million yuan can solve his urgent need.
He wants to expand the army, and 30 million can support it for a while.
"Okay, I don't need the other money, but Tao Qian must agree to several conditions. The most important condition is that I want to freely buy and sell salt in Xuzhou. If this condition is agreed, then everything else can be discussed." Zhang Yu said.
Before that, Zhang Yu did sell salt to Xuzhou through the Mi family.
However, there are also many salt merchants in Xuzhou, and the Mi family's main business is not table salt, so the scale is not very large.
In ancient times, salt and iron were monopolized for a long time, but now no one controls it, and the general princes control it by themselves.
But Xuzhou does not currently have it, and Tao Qian has not put the salt business into his own hands.
"Just such a condition? You can discuss whether you want the city or the population." Mi Zhu reminded.
Mi Zhu wanted Zhang Yu to make more points, and he wanted to be tied to Zhang Yu, so naturally he would try to get more benefits for Zhang Yu, which was regarded as a vote of honor.
"The population city needs me in the future, and I will naturally take it. Seeing that Tao Qian won't live long, Xuzhou will inevitably change hands. I advise Brother Mi to make plans early." Zhang Yu said.
Needless to say, Mi Zhu also knew how to choose. Zhang Yu and Liu Bei had a bad relationship, and Tao Qian had intentionally given up Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Even if he didn't come to Jiangdong, Mi Zhu would plan to go elsewhere.
"Since Taozhou Mu can't last long, Brother Zhang, why don't you ask for more things. If you change people, I'm afraid the other party may not recognize your conditions." Mi Zhu said.
Yes, if Tao Qian agreed to the condition, and the successor refused to accept it, what could Zhang Yu do?
Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "Once Tongshang is opened, if you want to close it, you will hurt others and yourself. At that time, no one can go back on it if they want to go back on it."
Zhang Yu doesn't need the city, Zhang Yu has a lot of land, and the land is so big that he has no money to invest in development.
Population Zhang Yu is needed,
He can settle any number of people, but as in the previous question, Zhang Yu still doesn't have enough money.
Therefore, the money that Zhang Yu wants now, since Tao Qian has no money, the two sides should do business.
Zhang Yu demanded that they must be treated accordingly in Xuzhou, and the Xuzhou government was not allowed to use any form of suppression.
Of course, the two parties can discuss specific taxes, and Yangzhou businessmen will pay taxes according to the regulations, and will not bully the market or hoard.
Of course, some people will say that other methods can be used to suppress, and other aristocratic families can be used to deal with Yangzhou businessmen.
But these aristocratic families must dare to do so.
And it doesn't work to use bandits or anything. If you really dare to do this, you will give Zhang Yu an excuse to send troops.
Anyway, Zhang Yu is sure about Xuzhou, as long as he agrees, if he dares to go back on his word, then he will kill him.
Mi Zhu naturally didn't understand so much, and these twists and turns caught his not-so-far-sighted vision.
These are all ways that the great powers of later generations have formulated, and are now used by Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu is now considered one of the big powers, and Tao Qian from Xuzhou is weak and is the target of being bullied.
Mi Zhu couldn't decide these things, so Zhang Yu asked him to send a fast horse back to tell Tao Qian immediately, and asked Tao Qian to bring over 30 million yuan first.
This matter has to wait, Zhang Yu began to talk to Mi Zhu about the Mi family.
"Brother Mi, what do you think of our Jiangdong region?" Zhang Yu asked.
"Miracle, miracle, the Jiangdong area is simply a miracle." Mi Zhu said without any concealment.
"How about the development of Jiangdong? If nothing else, at least there is a stable development environment. As for how far you can develop, it depends on your ability." Zhang Yu said.
Through Zhang Yu's intentional or unintentional indoctrination, Mi Zhu also realized the danger in Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is the place where the four battles were fought, and it is also a place that military strategists must contend for. If nothing else, Cao Cao will not stop until he captures Xuzhou.
"To tell you the truth, Brother Zhang, I really want to come to Jiangdong to develop, but after the inspection, Brother Zhang has strict restrictions on land. My Mi family is mainly engaged in grain business. If there is not enough land for production, how can we do this business?" Mi Zhu said with a bitter face. .
Zhang Yu said: "It is impossible for the family to own too much land, but there are a large number of overseas areas in Jiangdong, which can be leased out in large quantities, and the lease period can reach 30 years."
Zhang Yu uses some land policies of later generations, but it must be finalized in the future, so that no one can take advantage of loopholes and own a lot of land.
To develop at this time, some special policies are also needed.
Zhang Yu dispelled Mi Zhu's doubts with some methods of later generations, allowing him to come to Jiangdong to develop with peace of mind.
The development of Jiangdong can be diversified, not only in grain trade, but also in tea production and trade.
Mi Zhu decided on the spot that he would send some people to Jiangdong for development, but he still had to wait for the opportunity to relocate his family.
Zhang Yu was not reluctant, after the discussion, Zhang Yu asked someone to arrange for him to rest.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu called Mi Zhu.
"Brother Mi, it will take three to five days to wait for Tao Qian's reply, why don't I show you the scenery of Jiangdong." Zhang Yu said to Mi Zhu.
Zhang Yu took him personally, so there was no reason for Mi Zhu to refuse.
Zhang Yu took Mi Zhu all the way to the beach.
A day later, they drove to the beach.
Along the way, Mi Zhu discovered that the road was built according to Chidao's standards, and there were a lot of motorcades passing by.
This is a big deal. At the beginning, part of the money and manpower provided by the imperial court was used to build the Chidao from Kuaiji to Luoyang. At that time, Zhang Yu directly led to the sea and directly to the port.
Zhang Yu took Mi Zhu all the way to the port by the sea.
"This, this, this is actually a port." Mi Zhu was shocked.
What he saw, he saw a huge ship.
Although there are also sea-going ships in Xuzhou, and Zhang Yu will also dock in Xuzhou to trade with the Mi family, but the ships here are obviously much bigger.
This is an ocean-going ship built by Zhang Yu, and of course it is very different from ships sailing along the coastal waters.
"The overseas world is beyond what you can imagine. The overseas land is much larger than my Huaxia. It's just that many places cannot be reached, but in the future, we will definitely be able to reach all places." Zhang Yu said confidently.
In the past, Mi Zhu didn't believe that there were large lands overseas, thinking that there were some islands and the legendary fairy mountains.
But Zhang Yu told him the fact that the overseas world is much bigger than he imagined.
Zhang Yu opened up a whole new world for him.
Mi Zhu was extremely shocked. After walking around, this is not a port, but a city.
Yes, Zhang Yu is building a port city. If Shanghai is not close to the war zone, Zhang Yu will make Shanghai the world's largest metropolis in advance, but it is obviously impossible now, because it is too close to Xuzhou, and war may break out at any time. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
