Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Governing Youzhou ([-])

Fighting with Gongsun Zan is a joke, at least in the near future, Yang Yu will not expand outward again, unless Gongsun Zan's brain is flooded and he takes the initiative to provoke Yang Yu, otherwise, Yang Yu will not attack outside in a short time up.

Perhaps, if he really encounters the other party's loopholes and can pick up one or two cities, Yang Yu is also very happy to do it.

Since wars are not the main focus these days, what is Yang Yu going to do? Yes, he is going to govern the five counties under his command. It is a joke that the people under the rule are not doing well. Maybe when God gets angry, he throws Yang Yu into the primitive society and asks him to lead and manage those monkeys, but it will be miserable.

"Ju Sima, next, I think, should we standardize the equipment of the soldiers?" In front of people, Yang Yu still called Ju Shou as Ju Sima, but behind his back, because he was Ju Shou's master, he would call him by his name directly. of.

"But, my lord, we are short of copper coins!" This is a real problem. Now, under Yang Yu's rule, there is no institution for making coins, and there is no source of copper mines. Therefore, the copper and iron they get, They are all obtained from the trade with the Central Plains. Most of their so-called trade comes from selling horses to the Central Plains. Naturally, there are some animal skins and the like, but there are no others, but sometimes , Not all of them are exchanged for copper coins, but most of the time, they are exchanged for some grain.

This, in Yang Yu's heart, is always worried that once the food reserves are insufficient, there will be major problems, especially since Youzhou has been taking in some refugees, which makes their local output far from being able to supply. need.

"No money, that's a problem. Then, what reserves do we have now?" Yang Yu began to think about his reserves. You know, since he took Yuyang, he has several salt mines and iron deposits. The mines are all in their own hands, and these mines have been in operation all the time, and they have not been sold.

"Reserve, does food count?" "This, you can't move." "Then, apart from food, there are only iron ore and salt mines, but this salt mine, my lord, you only left some that are not suitable for consumption." Salt mines, and those salt mines that are suitable for consumption, you have been replaced by fields, what is the use of this?"

Yes, at the beginning, when Yuyang was taken down, in order to win people's hearts and even allocate fields for some refugees, Yang Yu distributed some salt mines and iron mines that were originally controlled by the Governor's Mansion to some small landlords, so, in In Youzhou, there is also a group of strata who specialize in mining. This is the first group of businessmen who have no land.

Perhaps, they made this decision reluctantly at the beginning, but after such a long time, they are all happy, and there are even some who gave up the project due to hesitation and regretted it. .

For these small merchants, this salt and iron is good except that they can’t make independent sales. However, as long as they can make money, what else do they ask for? For the county sales, there will be special personnel to supervise them, and a small amount will be sold to the grasslands, which is a high price sale, but the Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and others who are next to them have no chance to buy these things.

Although Yang Yu's tax is not low, but for these people's profits, it will be higher. You know, except for some manpower, it is basically pure income, which is much better than farming .

Correspondingly, Yang Yu now has a lot of salt mines in storage. The few large salt mines he controls only have inputs and no outputs.

"Ju Sima, discuss with the generals and see who wants to do business with me. I have a method of processing green salt here. I will sell this method to two companies. Then, these two companies can sell it at a low price. Buy salt mines from me, and I will allow them to sell the green salt produced in the Central Plains."

Yes, Yang Yu has the idea of ​​processing salt, which is why he has been mining ore deposits and has no other actions.You know, this green salt is a high-end product, and even if it is sold, it is also sold to some wealthy families in the Central Plains. Naturally, the tax will be heavy, but the profit will be even greater.

"My lord, can you give me a share of this?" It's normal to think of your own family, and Yang Yu naturally needs to use some benefits to win over these subordinates.

"Here, go discuss it. Don't let newcomers like Lu Bu participate for the time being. You can tell them that I still have some good things, and I will wait for them. It depends on their performance."

Lu Bu and his subordinates are all bereaved dogs. Even if they have family members, they don't have much family property. However, if they really pass Yang Yu's test, naturally, these people will become new upstarts. Otherwise, Yang Yu Yu can still make them like ordinary people, so who will work hard for him, but it can't be too early for them. Now, they can have a stable home, which is already good.

In the end, because Jushou was able to have complete control over his family, Yang Yu did a good job of Jushou's work, and did not let him accept the Qingyan project, but promised that he would be given a more profitable job in the future. The project, so these two families were handed over to Liu Hui and the Zhao family.

The Gao family doesn't need Yang Yu to do work, and they won't fight for it. Why, as far as the Gao family is concerned, they are considered relatives. Among Yang Yu's two wives, Shao Yao is considered a lonely family, while Gao Xiuniang, she has an elder brother and a grandfather. The current Gao family is vaguely the largest family in Youzhou. If they are involved again, they and the Zhao family are also related by marriage. Is Zhao Feng's daughter-in-law Zhao Yun's younger sister?

Very happily, Liu Hui and Zhao Feng handed over all their fields, and even handed over a large sum of copper coins. Basically, these two families are tied to Yang Yu's chariot Naturally, they will perfectly complete what Yang Yu asked to do, even if they lose money, they will complete it.

Compared with other people, he was a little hesitant. You know, Yang Yu's asking price is very high, which is equivalent to investing all his wealth in it. If he fails, then...

As a result, later Hua Xiong, Yang Bao and others regretted it very much, and what Yang Yu wanted was this effect, the role of a role model, this is not mining, where are the minerals, and this is really risky, who knows What Yang Yu said was true or false, if he didn't succeed, he would get nothing back, right? They didn't think about it, would Yang Yu make them suffer?

Needless to say, Yang Yu took up the power of the computer, and he found a way to process green salt from it. Although he has a more advanced method, one is that the conditions cannot be met, and the other is that there are green salts now. Salt will suffice.

"My lord, this, this salt is really good, but what price do we want to sell it for?" "I don't control this. Under my rule, only a small number of people can afford it. You can organize a Caravans, or contact other caravans, let them sell the salt into the Central Plains, or even go further afield, what do you think?"

This is beyond Yang Yu's control, and he doesn't want to. I don't care what price you sell, as long as I receive the tax, it will be fine. Moreover, Yang Yu's tax collection is not based on the salt, but Taxes were collected based on the sale of raw salt, and soon, there were more copper coins in Youzhou, and Yang Yu was able to implement some things smoothly.
