Chapter 1189: The West Arrives
The situation in Shuchuan has become a bit hard to return to.
At this time, only Liu Bei can regain his strength and reorganize the court, so that he can recover again.
Historically, Liu Bei also wanted to live this kind of comfortable life.
An old man tried to find himself when he met a young beauty.
Historically, he was obsessed with Sun Shangxiang's skirt and refused to come back in Jiangdong. Later, Guan Yu went to bring Liu Bei back. (Romance, no textual research.)
"Oh~"
Under the moonlight, Pang Tong was very emotional.
He has always been unwilling to be subordinate to others, not because he is unwilling to be a courtier.
Rather, he is unwilling to be reconciled to someone who is smarter and more talented than him.
He has known Zhuge Liang for a long time, and he would choose Liu Bei because he wanted to make a miracle and make his name last forever.
At the beginning, there were still a few princes in the world, and it was hard to say who would win.
How did he know that he helped Liu Bei's career rise rapidly, and then the monarchs and ministers worked hard in Shuchuan and continued to grow.
Give him a few more years, and he will be able to fight out with an army.
However, the situation is changing too fast.
Zhang Yu quickly pacified several princes.
"Oh~"
Pang Tong sighed again.
Pang Tong was very sad. He knew a little about the outside situation. Pang Tong paid great attention to collecting information outside of Shuchuan.
At this time, Zhang Yu stopped his troops and worked hard to rule.
The development of various places is very good, the territory controlled by Zhang Yu is too large, and the national strength has been improving rapidly.
If things go on like this, one year is equal to the development of Shuchuan for several years, or even more than ten years.
Zhang Yu controls more than ten large territories in Shuchuan, and after one year of development, it is more than ten times that of Shuchuan.
If things go on like this, as long as Zhang Yu is not too stupid, ordinary people can beat them,
What's more, Zhang Yu has always been extremely wise.
This Pang Tong has been to Jiangdong and studied in Jiangdong College for a while, so he naturally knows Zhang Yu's ability to govern the region.
Zhang Yu's reputation is not good, that is among the aristocratic family, in the hearts of the common people, Zhang Yu's reputation is better than anyone else.
Pang Tong was melancholy. Although he was young, Zhang Yu was as young as him. If Zhang Yu was not dead, he would never have a chance.
Pang Tong's fate seems to be doomed, he can leave a mark in history, but he is always a supporting role.
Zhang Yu didn't know much about the situation in Shuchuan, but he knew a general idea.
This is not the time for them to attack, they still need to infiltrate.
During the cabinet meeting, Guo Jia reported the situation in Shuchuan in detail.
Shuchuan is progressing fairly smoothly. After understanding that Liu Bei has no ambitions, the general trend is like this, and one day they will be able to divide them internally.
It's not easy to break in, only let them disintegrate internally.
Zhang Yu sits in charge of various innovations in the capital.
After dealing with Shuchuan, I began to think about Ma Teng and Rome.
About Ma Teng, Zhang Yu and the cabinet have actually discussed it many times.
This time, Zhang Yu reconvened the cabinet to discuss matters.
"The reforms are relatively smooth. After a year of reforms, the national strength has risen rapidly. The most important thing is that there are no major problems. Therefore, the enemy of the West is not very necessary."
Zhang Yu expressed his thoughts to the cabinet, he wanted to destroy the enemy as soon as possible.
After a year of innovation, the system of provinces, cities and counties can basically be established. This new system has many disadvantages and many advantages.
Under Zhang Yu's strong promotion, now Zhang Yu has established Guangdong and Fujian, and has also begun to divide.
This allows the provinces, cities and counties to have decentralization and great autonomy.
First of all, the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials do not need to manage so many officials. In later generations, there will be cadres managed by the central government and cadres managed by the province. Zhang Yu adjusted this level, which made it much easier.
Various innovations are going smoothly, just like the canal project secretly promoted by Zhang Yu is now relatively smooth.
More than two hundred miles of canals were dug in one year.
Of course, Zhang Yu also quietly increased manpower, and the allocation of funds did not go to the cabinet.
A batch of silver was shipped back from overseas, and Zhang Yu sent someone to ship it before it entered the account. This sum of money did not go through any procedures at all, and there was no record.
If this continues, in another five or six years, Zhang Yu will be able to dig the canal through. After he has dug it through, I am afraid that people in the world will know that Zhang Yu has been doing such things.
With all the innovations going well, Zhang Yu planned to attack Ma Teng and Liu Bei in advance, so there was no need to keep them.
Guo Jia was in charge of intelligence, and he spoke first: "My lord, although Ma Teng and the others have developed along the Silk Road in the past few years, their population is small, and their large population was attracted by us. In fact, they have been in the past two years. It's building up its armaments, and there's not much going on."
"Do you know how long their food and grass can last?" Zhang Zhao asked.
Guo Jia is more confident in his intelligence. They have been in business for a long time and have mobilized many people to go there.
Now, Zhang Yu's intelligence focus must have been mobilized to Shu Chuan and Ma Teng, and the talents who used to deal with Sun Ce, Cai Hao, and Cao Cao were mobilized there.
Guo Jia said: "Every year, if we didn't transport a large amount of food and grass, they would not have enough to eat in Liangzhou, but now they also have a lot of reserves, enough to feed 200,000 soldiers and horses for more than three years."
Only three years, that is because it is not so easy for Ma Teng to establish the Silk Road.
He arranged many stations along the road, and these stations also stored a certain amount of food.
It is very difficult and costly to transport grain and grass to the desert, and Ma Teng paid a huge price.
However, these Silk Roads also brought back a lot of wealth continuously.
Several stops were arranged along the way to replenish water and food for the caravan, making travel much more convenient.
Guo Jia reported more detailed information.
After careful calculation, Zhang Yu said: "There is no rush, we will prepare for half a year, and after half a year, we will start to block Ma Teng."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "From now on, the price of grain and grass will be raised, and the amount will be reduced by half."
Zhang Yu didn't want to block Ma Teng immediately, and traded with Ma Teng. In fact, the money came quickly, and a lot of construction in Huaxia needed money.
The general direction has been set, and the next step is to formulate a more detailed plan.
Zhang Yu did not mobilize troops on a large scale, but built very large cities in the west and central.
These city construction Ma Teng and the others were very nervous at first, thinking that Zhang Yu was going to attack them, but later it didn't matter, thinking that Zhang Yu was wasting his strength to build the city there, so there was no time to deal with him.
In Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Ma Chao were welcoming a group of guests.
This is a "caravan" of more than 5,000 people.
This caravan is quite strange, and it also brought a batch of goods and a lot of money.
They were one of the advance teams sent by the Roman Empire.
They don't carry much weaponry, this is for secrecy.
Their so-called secrecy, as everyone knows, Zhang Yu has long been well aware of it.
Zhang Yu didn't know how many spies he sent in Liangzhou.
Some Liangzhou natives were sent back after being recruited by Zhang Yu.
