The strongest system to dominate the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 643 Asking Cao Cao for an Official

Zhang Zhao was excited.

The people of Jiangdong support Zhang Yu so much that many things can be done easily, and he dares to do them.

Having money means getting things done easily, and various measures will be implemented quickly.

Not long after Zhang Zhao left, Guo Jia came.

Zhang Zhao is in charge of internal affairs, while Guo Jia is in charge of military affairs and intelligence.

"My lord, this is the latest information summary." Guo Jia came in and handed some materials to Zhang Yu.

"Tell me, what's important." Zhang Yu took the materials and put them aside.

Guo Jia sat down opposite Zhang Yu, and then said: "There is nothing serious in Jiangdong, if some small miscellaneous fish are found, they will be cleaned up."

Zhang Yu nodded, and Guo Jia continued to report: "Sun Ce has been recruiting soldiers and horses, expanding his strength is not a big deal, and Yuan Shu is also, but Yuan Shu is very radical. The imperial court.”

Yuan Shu was very radical, and began to extort violently, and actually recruited 200 million troops.

200 million, part of which was sent directly by the aristocratic family, and part of which was recruited from the people.

200 million. Now that the population is so large, it is no problem. The key is how to support the 200 million army.

A third had finished weapons and armor, a third had weapons, and a third held sticks.

As for the officers, they should be brought directly by veterans, and tens of thousands of veterans should be dispersed.

In this way, there are very few established veterans in Yuan Shu's army.

"With such an army, I'm afraid it doesn't have much fighting power." Zhang Yu shook his head and said.

Guo Jia emphatically assessed Cao Cao's situation. After moving the capital, Cao Cao's life was not easy, and he had to vigorously expand his army to deal with threats from all aspects.

"Lord, according to our judgment, Cao Cao may launch an attack within two months." Guo Jia said.

Now it's summer, and after two months, the weather will turn slightly cooler, which is a good time to send troops.

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll finish the preparations within a month, and then we can take the initiative."

Guo Jia went back, and Zhang Yu was busy again.

Zhang Yu is indeed very busy and has a lot of things to plan.

Those in Jiangdong, Liaodong, Southeast China, southern China, and Dongying.

Various affairs in various places have to be planned, so it is still very exhausting.

After Guo Jia left, he came back soon.

"My lord, through the matter of borrowing money this time, a problem has been exposed. It's nothing now, but it will be difficult in the future." Guo Jia said.

"Say."

Guo Jia sat down again, and then said: "My lord, you should take a higher official position yourself. Now your official position is only the prefect, and we have so many counties in Jiangdong and Youzhou, which will cause a lot of inconvenience. Deal with it as soon as possible. Now that the entire Youzhou is under our control, my lord can completely lead Youzhou shepherd by himself."

This is indeed a problem, and Zhang Yu must consider it carefully.

"Okay, I'll think about it, and I'll settle it soon." Zhang Yu said.

Guo Jia left.

Zhang Yu really wanted to consider this issue. He couldn’t have his subordinates’ official positions as high as his own. Although he still had the position of a second-rank general and the title of Lord Marquis, his subordinates were at the same level as him in terms of civil positions. Easy to handle.

"Looking for an official from Cao Cao? I already have a prime minister and a great general, so what kind of official do I want? Get a third-class official?" Zhang Yu thought.

"Haha, this problem is a headache for Cao Cao. If you are not satisfied... hehe."

Zhang Yu wanted to cause trouble for Cao Cao again. With the emperor in his hands, of course he should take on more things.

So Zhang Yu picked up paper and pen and started writing.

This letter was written to the emperor Liu Xie, to the effect that he had made great contributions, beating the Xiongnu and Xianbei who fled around and killed hundreds of thousands of enemies.

Then the conversation changed, saying that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had no credit for anything, but they were in high positions. How could the emperor dare to be the emperor if he acted so unfairly?
This letter was written in a very explicit way, directly scolding Liu Xie.

On the surface, scolding Liu Xie is actually putting pressure on Cao Cao.

Not to senior officials?Not satisfied?
That's good, you are still the emperor.

Zhang Yu can be said to have dug another hole for Cao Cao.

Once the hole is dug, the news is spread out directly through "private" channels.

After doing this, Zhang Yu also started to focus on other things.

Since he wanted a higher position, Zhang Yu also had to consider the issue of the "capital".

First of all, Zhang Yu planned to place the seat of Youzhou in Beiping, a place that had been proven to be the capital for hundreds of years.

As for the government in the south, Zhang Yu is considering whether Nanjing or Shanghai is better.

These two places have not been built yet. If they are confirmed, then Zhang Yu will carry out city construction activities.

Youzhou Zhang Yu has already started planning, but currently he has no money, so he is just leveling the land. If he really wants to build a city, he doesn't know when he will have to wait.

On the south side, the docks in Shanghai have already reached a certain scale, and many people have gathered there.

As for other things, Zhang Yu won't consider them now because he has no money.

The issue of official position is like this first. The key is to see what Cao Cao thinks and whether he dares to give him an official position.

If the official position given by Cao Cao is too low, it will not match Zhang Yu's achievements, and the world will feel that the emperor does not distinguish between right and wrong.

This further confirms the fact that the faint king and the treacherous ministers were in the past.

Zhang Yu sent out the documents, and then began to prepare to borrow money from these merchants.

The next night.

The Taishou mansion is brightly lit.

Zhang Yu entertained them, and many people already knew Zhang Yu's purpose.

Many people knew that Zhang Yu was short of money, and of course they wanted to get money from a group of rich people.

Zhang Yu borrowed money recklessly, and he did not hesitate to ask ordinary people to borrow money. This time he came to them, he must be borrowing money from them.

Some people moved their minds, saying that in Zhang Yu's territory, it would not work without borrowing money, but more people just wanted to make fun of it.

Inside the prefect's mansion, the invited people arrived one after another.

Zhang Zhao was responsible for the reception, and the Jiangdong manager came out to receive them, which was enough to give them face.

More than 300 people came here, and this was considered a gathering of the richest people in Jiangdong.

Of course, the Mi family is the richest.

The Mi family was already very rich. After coming to Jiangdong, relying on their foundation in Xuzhou, the business was very big.

Mi Zhu is also Zhang Yu's brother-in-law, so it is much more convenient to do things, but Zhang Yu didn't give Mi Zhu any rights, but others don't see it that way, as long as Mi Zhu doesn't use Zhang Yu's relationship to break the law, Zhang Yu will not care.

By the way, there is also Zhang Yu's father-in-law, who was like a duck in water not long after coming to Jiangdong.

This person is Mr. Qiao. Although Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have not officially married Zhang Yu, everyone knows that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are Zhang Yu's people.

Mr. Qiao was originally a native of Yangzhou and had a good network of connections. Coupled with Jiangdong's good business environment, he actually exploded. Under his management, his assets doubled several times.

In fact, Mr. Qiao was already very capable. Now he can save a lot of money and does not have to spend a lot of money to support servants and guards. There is no need to consider the safety here.

Like Mi Zhu and Mr. Qiao, there are many other new business upstarts in Jiangdong.
