Chapter 481: Ancient Financial Attack

Zhang Yu started to relax again, but the entire Jiangdong area was under construction in full swing.

And other places are also hot, but they are fighting fiercely.

First of all, Yuan Shu occupied other places in Jiangdong before.

And Lu Bu attacked Cao Cao and defeated Cao Cao.

There is another place that is very hot, that is, on the grassland. On the grassland, the North and South Xiongnu fought several times with tens of thousands of people, and two wars broke out with more than 200,000 people.

Many wars also broke out in several other places. There was a resurgence of the Yellow Turbans, and bandits rebelled. At the same time, their subordinates rebelled, and peasant uprisings often occurred.

This year is exactly 194, and it is already autumn, and another year will pass soon.

These Zhang Yu just paid enough attention and didn't want to participate.

Zhang Yu was considering the future development, when news came from the intelligence department about the situation in Xuzhou.

"Haha, Tao Qian finally found out, but it's too late." Zhang Yu ransacked Xuzhou with business, which was actually more terrifying than war ransacking.

It's just that commercial looting is not easy to be discovered. If Zhang Yu hadn't monopolized Xuzhou's salt industry all of a sudden, I'm afraid Tao Qian would not have noticed it so quickly.

But Zhang Yu wanted to be so simple and rude, because he was really short of money.

This time when the information came, Mi Zhu was on an envoy again, and he was accompanied by the six major salt merchants.

These salt merchants came in person, and they dared to come in person because of Mi Zhu's guarantee.

Zhang Yu didn't have to do anything to them in Yangzhou.

A few days later, they arrived in Kuaiji County. When they passed through Wu County and arrived in Kuaiji County, they were shocked by the prosperity here.

This also made them more afraid of Zhang Yu's strength.

Zhang Yu didn't meet them right away, but spent two days playing with his wives in his "harem".

These salt merchants were left cold for two days, and became more and more uneasy.

Two days later, Zhang Yu met them in the Sheriff's Mansion in Kuaiji County.

The county guard's mansion was very shabby, even more shabby than the mansions of their respective families, which made several salt merchants wonder where Zhang Yu spent so much money.

Zhang Yu naturally didn't need to explain to them.

"Everyone came from afar, Zhang is very happy, I can personally invite you to attend my wedding." Zhang Yu said.

Several people had strange expressions on their faces, but they couldn't refuse. Zhang Yu invited him personally, what a shame.

If no one comes by then, a big gift must be given.

But these are small amounts of money, and what they want to discuss is a big deal.

"General Zhang, it's easy to talk about other things. The six of us are all salt merchants in Xuzhou. Now you are forcing us to survive, and Tao Gong can't allow it either." Yan Cheng said first.

Zhang Yu said indifferently: "You can't survive, so it has nothing to do with me."

"Zhang Yu, you have to be reasonable. Xuzhou is our territory. If you do this, you will only hurt both sides." Liu Shan said sharply.

At this time, he couldn't care so much, because the family couldn't survive, and he didn't care what Zhang Yu wanted to do.

"Reason? A hard fist is the reason. The same 200,000 army, I only need a 100,000 army to blow up Xuzhou, so the reason is only where the iron fist hits. Whoever has a hard fist makes sense." Zhang Zhang Yu said bluntly.

Zhang Yu's words made several people choke, as if a scholar met a soldier and couldn't explain why.

Zhang Yu uttered a common truth in the world, which made them helpless. Zhang Yu just relied on his fists to speak, so what could they do?

A few people fell silent, if Zhang Yu really wanted to fight, what would happen to their aristocratic families?

Similarly, Zhang Yu also revealed a piece of news to them. There are 200,000 troops in Yangzhou, and Zhang Yu's 200,000 troops are all elite soldiers.

Mi Zhu on the side seemed to be just accompanying the guests, and secretly smiled inwardly. This Zhang Yu was really domineering, but as far as he knew, Zhang Yu was very good at home, no matter if he was an ordinary person or a businessman or worker.

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yu said again: "The reason is very simple, that is, whoever's fist is obedient to others. It is impossible for me to withdraw from Xuzhou Yanshi, but we can cooperate."

Cooperation?

Several people were blindfolded.

Zhang Yu smiled, but in their eyes, Zhang Yu's smile was so treacherous.

"How to cooperate?" Yan Cheng asked.

Several people also paid attention, and Zhang Yucai said: "It's very simple, I can give you all the salt market in Xuzhou, and sell it to you at 20% lower than the current price, and you can regain control of the salt market in Xuzhou."

Several people looked at each other, this method seems to be really possible.

They all calculated in their minds that if it is less than 20% of the current price, it will be about the same as the cost of low-quality salt they used to.

They can sell it with high-quality table salt, and a little more, they don't have to feed tens of thousands of people anymore.

Several people were seriously greedy.

"This is serious, you are not allowed to continue to sell salt in Xuzhou?" Liu Shan said again.

"That's right, as long as you take salt from me, I won't enter Xuzhou to sell a grain of salt again, but if you still want to continue to make salt by yourself, or to dry salt by the sea like me, then we have to be reasonable .”

Threats, Zhang Yu is threatening them, telling them to give up producing salt, otherwise Zhang Yu will beat them.

Overbearing, this is overbearing.

But some people were happy, and they sold Zhang Yu's salt, so they didn't have to produce it themselves, and their earnings were not less than before.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to withdraw from Xuzhou's salt market, we are all willing to buy from you." Liu Shan was the first to express his opinion.

Liu Shan couldn't hold it anymore, no matter what, he had to agree.

Starting with Liu Shan, the others also secretly calculated, feeling that Zhang Yu's condition is not difficult to agree to.

They regain control of Yanshi in Xuzhou, and the family can once again achieve its former glory.

"There is one more condition." Zhang Yu said again.

Several people were nervous for a while, afraid that Zhang Yu would pit them.

Several people looked at Zhang Yu nervously, Zhang Yu thought it was funny.

"It's very simple. I'll show you one thing." Zhang Yu went to ask the soldiers to bring over several bags of gold and silver coins.

"You guys can subscribe and exchange some copper coins." Zhang Yu said, throwing gold coins and silver coins in front of them.

They were still puzzled at first, but at this time Mi Zhu came out to explain to them for a while, and they were relieved. It turned out that Zhang Yu didn't intend to trick them.

Zhang Yu really didn't want to cheat them, but he would cheat Xuzhou.

There is a money shortage in Zhang Yu's territory, and Xuzhou has been swept up with so much money by himself, and there will be a money shortage soon.

The principle of the money shortage is very simple. The copper coins in the hands of the people are not enough, and many transactions cannot be carried out, and sometimes they have to barter.

It is difficult for a family of people to own a wealth of gold or silver coins. They usually use copper coins the most.

If there are not enough copper coins in the market, the lives of the people will be affected.

This is Zhang Yu's next step, a financial attack on Xuzhou.

It can be said that Zhang Yu and several salt merchants traded in equal amounts, and even a few salt merchants took a certain advantage.

These exquisite silver and gold coins are absolutely usable. The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms
