Chapter 1187: The Effect of Opium

Zhang Zhao stayed in the disaster area for more than a month, and the peace of the past has long been restored here. Since it is on the edge of the Yangtze River, it recovered quickly.

This is the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, with a developed economy, and it is relatively easy for some people to find Huogan.

Here, Zhang Zhao mobilized a lot of resources, used work as relief, opened a new road, let the victims of the disaster build the road, and organized the militia and retired soldiers at the same time.

Zhang Zhao wrote to Zhang Yu and recommended Chen Wu. Chen Wu became the chief officer of the county and temporarily took care of the construction of the rescue team. He was also a soldier and got along very well with these retired troops, some of which were still his old troops.

After Zhang Yu learned about these in the capital, he knew more news.

"This is Zhang Zhao's suggestion. What I mean is to immediately promote the retirement of 300,000 troops."

Zhang Yu showed Zhang Zhao's letter to the cabinet, and several people fell silent after reading it.

They opposed Zhang Yu's system before, retiring a certain number of soldiers every year, or letting some people enter the army for two years of training.

These retired troops are a huge hidden danger.

But now it seems that this is two-sided. As long as the work is done well, they will be a great help.

The cabinet began to discuss, and the main thing is to formulate some preventive systems. Now it is good evidence, but will there be any changes in a few years?

The cabinet still has doubts about Zhang Yu's system, but at this point, no one can stop it as long as it continues to advance.

Zhang Yu ordered the army to arrange for the retirement of 300,000 people in an orderly manner, and at the same time recruit another 300,000 people. Next year, another 100,000 people will be retired and another 100,000 people will be recruited.

Some recruits serve for two years, some for three years, and then arrange retirement.

Only with the replacement of old and new blood can the army be healthier.

In this way, Zhang Yu and the others must pay attention to the training of officers.

Zhang Yu intends to personally promote a group of students from colleges and universities to join the army, serve for two or three years, and then a group of people will stay.

After these people have been tempered by the army, their lives will undergo great changes.

The establishment of a system.

Zhang Yu has been paying attention.

After Zhang Zhao came back, Zhang Yu transferred Chen Gong and Tian Feng out of the capital and sent them to various places.

The cabinet can't stay in the capital all the time, it also needs to travel around to understand the specific content.

If you don't experience the systems and policies you formulate yourself, you don't know how effective the system is.

Zhang Yu has been secretly promoting the matter of the canal. After the students and professors of the engineering school finished their surveys, Zhang Yu started work in several places at the same time.

Traveling thousands of miles from north to south, Zhang Yu recruited thousands of people every two hundred miles, and started to dig through the five places at the same time.

Thousands of people, easy to manage, no troubles, compared to the road construction brigade, they are not impressive at all.

A few months have passed, and all innovations have been relatively smooth.

Zhang Yu has already re-divided the administration of the three eastern provinces, as well as Jizhou and other places.

The three northeastern provinces have also completed the renovation of some counties and cities.

This is very important. The province can keep a part of the funds, and there are corresponding funds.

At that time, we can focus on developing some places and some projects.

The same is true for counties and cities.

This is very beneficial to local development.

Although the former officials were scholars, they were actually a bunch of stupid people who didn't have much ability.

When they go to places, they have to be responsible for everything, and they don't understand it themselves. In the end, they just want to avoid accidents.

It is different now, Zhang Yu is the emperor, he has cultivated a large number of talents, these are basic talents, when governing the world, these basic talents are very, very important.

Several innovations have achieved many results.

Today's Shanghai, with a population of 300,000, is a very important county.

Zhang Yu has officially promulgated the imperial decree to raise Shanghai to a higher level. It is now equivalent to a city level. After further development, it will be a municipality and a provincial level configuration.

This is a matter of time, and Guangdong, which has great potential now, is developing very fast by virtue of its overseas advantages.

After nearly a year of development, the strength of the empire has risen rapidly again.

Zhang Yu began to calculate military affairs again.

It has been determined that the Western Roman Empire has begun preparations, and the vanguard has already set out.

The Roman Empire was powerful, but they did not dare to advance aggressively. At this time, they only sent vanguard troops.

Xi Zhicai has already returned to the capital, and at this time Chang'an and Luoyang Zhuge Liang are in charge.

All the undertakings of the empire are going very well, and the national power is strong, so Zhang Yu convenes the cabinet again.

This time in the cabinet, Chen Gong and Tian Feng were outside and did not come back. The other six cabinet members were there.

"After one year of preparation, we have achieved a great advantage in the military. Although the number of troops has not increased, the combat power has greatly improved."

"In particular, the logistics configuration has been improved, and there is no need to mobilize food, grass, weapons and equipment on a large scale for two years."

When Zhang Yu got the news, Rome sent more than 20,000 people here, as the vanguard.

"Feng Xiao, tell me about the situation first, how is our opium plan going?"

Guo Jia nodded, this is something he has been promoting.

"Opium, since the beginning of this year, we have sold millions of silver coins, which has brought great benefits to the empire. We don't know about the Roman Empire. On the Shuchuan side, there is news that Liu Bei has been infected with opium."

Opium, once infected, is very troublesome.

Zhang Yu said: "Continue to infiltrate, it is best to let the high-level or key people in Shuchuan control it. After a period of time, only we have opium. If they don't cooperate, there will be no opium. Let them start by selling worthless information. Then slowly zoom in and corrode them little by little."

Zhang Yu knew that the corrosion had to be carried out slowly, and he couldn't be impatient now, and he couldn't let them notice.

After they found out, it would be too late, and then Zhang Yu would use thunderous means to solve the matter.

The infiltration plan was going well, Zhang Yu continued to advance, and the others were very covert and very careful.

Identify the target of corruption, and then find an opportunity to offer opium, usually telling them that it is for healing.

To corrode Liu Bei, that is, once Liu Bei was ill, and when he was being treated, someone offered this thing.

This is called Fushou ointment. The word "Fushou" is very misleading. It is actually a poison. If you eat it, you will die sooner, and you will return Fushou wool.

"Very well, make a good plan and step up the process. The current thinking is to focus on corroding the bottom, the key seats."

"After reaching a certain level, focus on corroding the upper layers, and be extremely careful when corroding the upper layers."

Corrosion of the bottom layer, one or two problems, will not be paid attention to.

But if there is a problem with one person at the top, it may be thoroughly investigated. Of course, Zhang Yu and the others have also formulated relevant contingency measures.

Now they don't know the medicinal properties of the Fushou Ointment, and if there is a problem in time, they won't immediately think that there must be a cover.
