Chapter 710: Cao Ang's Decision
The money Zhang Yu brought back this time was out of the plan, and it could just be used for other things.
First of all, building a city is a must.
Zhang Yu and Zhang Zhao began to break down how to spend the money.
In the early stage of city construction, the budget is only 10 million yuan, and the follow-up investment will be made slowly, and it will be completed within one year as much as possible.
The military has always had a separate budget, and a certain percentage of taxes and income will be invested in the military, so Zhang Yu only needs to add a part.
Zhang Yu made the most additions to the bank this time.
The main reason is that Zhang Yu wants to cover every county town, so more money will be needed. Every bank must have a reserve fund, otherwise how can it be opened.
Zhang Zhao also agreed that not only did he get convenience from the bank, but more importantly, the bank made a lot of money in a year, and it could bring great convenience to businessmen.
This bank is really convenient. Zhang Zhao will issue receipts directly for any purchase funds, while the real money is still kept in his own treasury.
Calculated in this way, you will not be afraid of running out of money in an emergency.
Of course, they must also strictly implement Zhang Yu's requirements and not issue too many bills.
Zhang Yu requested that the bill be issued at most one and a half times.
In other words, if there is 100 million in the treasury, 150 million notes can be issued, which means 50 million more can be used out of thin air.
Of course Zhang Zhao supported so many benefits, not to mention other things, just say that putting 100 million in the bank can play a role of 150 million.
After discussing how to use the money, Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to report the situation.
"My lord, this year's taxes are very good. I have collected more than 180 million yuan, and there is still enough food. The taxes collected in normal times add up to tens of millions." Zhang Zhao said.
Nowadays, the agricultural tax is still the big one. Although the commercial tax is not bad, it is still much less.
But the biggest head is Zhang Yu's workshops. Not to mention other things, salt alone can contribute more than one billion yuan a year.
These salts are mainly labor costs,
Others do not require too much cost, it is simply huge profits.
In addition, other industries, such as tea and liquor, are also profiteering industries.
Only Zhang Yu, who has many profiteering industries, can support the current situation.
Not to mention other things, the investment in education is hundreds of millions a year, and there are also a lot of shipbuilding, overseas and southern development, and so on.
If you don't dare to invest high, you will get high returns.
Zhang Zhao also reported, "My lord, last year a total of more than 200 million worth of gold and silver was shipped overseas. In addition, we also discovered some gold and silver mines in western Fujian, and now we have arranged for people to mine them."
Zhang Yu did some calculations, and the overseas part is enough to feed back, so he doesn't need to continue to invest himself, and the subsequent actions can be much bigger.
After doing the financial calculations, Zhang Yu felt confident.
Raising hundreds of thousands of troops, spending hundreds of millions a year, and ensuring the development of the territory, there is no one like Zhang Yu who does not exploit the people.
"Zibu, in the future, we will try our best to develop the south and expand the population in the direction of Guangdong and Guangxi. However, they are all primeval forests with a lot of miasma. Don't be too anxious. As long as a place is developed, the population of the area will be filled."
In the south, there are many resources and the climate is suitable for growing food. Zhang Yu has no reason to let it go, but it is really a large piece of virgin forest, and it will take time to develop.
But as long as the population is sufficient, it will naturally be developed little by little.
After Zhang Yu came back, he discussed with Zhang Zhao in the county guard's mansion for three full days in Wu Jun.
Planning how to use the money is a very nerve-wracking thing, which ones should be done first, which ones can be delayed, which projects have been opened, where to plan for follow-up funds, etc.
Zhang Yu was busy for three days, and Xia Houyuan Xiahou Dun and Cao Ang also rested for three days, exhausted from the journey.
Zhang Yu didn't completely restrict their freedom. He had soldiers following them, and they could go anywhere as long as they didn't leave the city.
"This Wu County is so prosperous. Compared with Luoyang back then, it is not inferior." Cao Ang sighed.
Indeed, Wu County has inherent advantages. It is not only close to the sea, but also the mouth of the Yangtze River.
It's no wonder it's not prosperous because it accepts the fleet of ships traveling from south to north.
Here there is the natural danger of the Yangtze River in the north, the ocean in the east, our own vast territory in the south, and far away from the enemy in the west.
This place is blessed by nature, so Zhang Yu built his own economic center of gravity here.
It's too convenient here, and there are no enemies, and the surroundings are controlled by myself.
The three of Cao Caofang were shocked as they walked down the street.
They were much more shocked than Yu Jin. After all, Yu Jin had chatted with Zhang Yu and knew a lot about it.
"This Jiangdong is really rich, and I don't know what Zhang Yu thinks. If he equips a million troops, who else can fight him." Xia Houyuan said.
"Zhang Yu's army pays attention to quality, and there are rumors that he loves money and is not willing to spend too much money." Xiahou Dun said.
Cao Ang didn't agree, and said after walking a long distance, "I've come to Jiangdong in person, I'm afraid many of the rumors are false."
Cao Ang and the others actually rested for a day, and wandered around the city the next day.
There are many shops and products here, and it looks unusually prosperous.
The bustling streets are out of tune with this era.
Cao Ang's thinking is to think from the standpoint of Cao Cao. He is the successor of a power, and he sees more.
The people support prosperity, which is all potential, and with such a large population, it will definitely be a strong competitor in the future.
The three of them moved around for two days, Zhang Yu ignored them during these two days, and Zhang Yu himself was very busy.
After Wu Jun and Zhang Zhao confirmed many things, Zhang Yu hurried back to Kuaiji County.
Zhang Zhao is definitely the busiest person in Jiangdong, and he has to preside over many things.
But Zhang Yu doesn't care too much about anything, as long as the general direction doesn't change, he doesn't care about anything.
Cao Ang also saw this.
"Two uncles, this Zhang Yu has not been in Jiangdong for a year, but this Jiangdong is so well organized, it's amazing." After returning, Cao Ang said to the two Xiahou generals.
"What's the matter, when the power is emptied, he will be nothing." Xia Houyuan said.
But will Zhang Yu's power be emptied?
Of course not, although he doesn't take much care of things, the army is absolutely loyal to him. As long as the army is stable, it is impossible for others to overthrow him.
Besides, Zhang Yu's military exploits and prestige, as well as his status in the hearts of the general public, these factors, no one can pose any threat to him.
No one can threaten him, so Zhang Yu naturally and boldly delegated power. By delegating power and cultivating more talents, Zhang Yu can also do other things better.
Cao Ang couldn't help admiring Zhang Yu. With such courage and achievements, Cao Ang felt that he didn't need to rush back when he came to Jiangdong. He should get to know Jiangdong well and get to know this future enemy.
"Two uncles, I'm not in a hurry to go back. You tell my father not to rush me back." Cao Ang didn't give a reason, because to send the information back, he had to write a letter, and the content of the letter would definitely let me go. Zhang Yu knew.
