Chapter 187: Encountering a Bandit on the Road

After the road construction started, Zhang Yu spent a lot of money.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhang Yu will not use the points lightly.

Points are rare and must be used in more important places.

"My lord, I spent hundreds of thousands of copper coins this month. This is just the beginning. After that, the cost will be even greater. It is very difficult for our fairy wine to be sold to all parts of Dahan. We can only sell it around Luoyang, which is only five or six times a month. With an income of 100,000, this is completely beyond our means.”

As soon as the road was built, Zhang Zhao, the chief executive, came to cry poorly.

Zhang Yu also recruited a large number of refugees, and these refugees also needed resettlement.

A lot of it needs money, a lot of it.

Zhang Yu also has a big head.

At present, there is a monthly funding gap of hundreds of thousands.

This needs to be exchanged with points, and it takes hundreds of thousands of points.

Zhang Yu was a little reluctant to exchange hundreds of thousands of points for copper coins and food.

"Salt, yes, we still have a lot of salt, we just need to find a way to sell the salt." Zhang Yu thought for a while and said.

Salt can definitely solve Zhang Yu's current financial difficulties, at least partially, but at this time Zhang Yu can only use smuggling.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to arrange it.

Guo Jia is specially assigned to smuggle salt. There is currently no war in the territory, and his ability to handle internal affairs is not very high, so let him specialize in this.

"It's still too slow to get money like this, and it's not so fast to spread the salt." Zhang Yu thought.

"Grab." A thought flashed in Zhang Yu's mind.

When I went to Jizhou to rob money, I robbed tens of millions.

Of course, it is impossible to be as crazy as before, directly grabbing large sums of money.

But now the whole big man is full of bandits, and wherever there are bandits, there are opportunities to make a fortune.

Why are there so many bandits?

There is also a reason for Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu used the system to conjure nearly ten million people, and some of these people became bandits.

Therefore, now it can be said that bandits are as hairy as hair.

Zhang Yu decided to send another army to suppress the bandits.

The territory is still safe.

In a corner of Pianan, there are not many places that can attack Kuaiji County.

Therefore, Zhang Yu planned to keep 3,000 in the territory, and leave the remaining 7,000.

The plan goes on.

Several generals led their troops out.

Zhang Yu also wanted to go out, but he was still needed for many things, so he stayed to watch the house.

Several generals marched along the banks of the Yangtze River.

One is to earn some extra money, and the other is to find out the situation on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Two teams set off, and then divided into a team of one thousand people, each led by several generals.

They wiped out all the way, and soon wiped out many bandits along the way.

At the same time, there will be spoils of war against the bandits, and some people and property will be sent back.

After another two months, the territory exploded again.

That day Zhang Yu was looking at statistical reports from various places in the prefect's mansion.

"My lord, look, we have succeeded, we have succeeded." Zhang Zhao walked in excitedly and said while talking.

Zhang Yu has already seen the book in Zhang Zhao's hand.

That's right, what excited Zhang Zhao was the book in his hand.

Now that paper has been produced, Zhang Yu of course wants to produce movable type printing as well.

This is the book that Zhang Yu asked Zhang Zhao to arrange for production.

"Okay, good, good, it's another way to make money." Flipping through the Analects in his hand, Zhang Yu said happily.

"My lord, this book is not only very light, but also has clear writing, and the price is cheap. We have printed hundreds of copies, which are not as expensive as the bamboo slips." Zhang Zhao said excitedly.

Zhang Zhao was very excited, he is an intellectual after all.

When I saw this book, I was very excited.

Zhang Zhao was excited because of the significance of cultural transmission represented by this book, and Zhang Yu was excited because he made a paper book, and he would definitely be famous forever.

What makes Zhang Yu even more excited is that he can make a fortune again, and the financial crisis of the territory can be alleviated.

"Zibu, work hard these days, print more books, one batch for each,

In a few days, I will take it to Luoyang to sell it myself. " Zhang Yu said.

Generally, Zhang Yu is not allowed to sell books in person, but this time is different.

Zhang Yu wants to go to events in person, do marketing, and make the book popular all at once.

In addition, Zhang Yu was going to get some books back.

During the Three Kingdoms period, books were monopolized by aristocratic families, and their books would not be loaned out.

The books in Zhang Yu's hands are all kept by Xiang's family, and the types are limited.

Zhang Yu didn't want many books to be destroyed in the flames of war.

So he was going to get some books back.

"Don't worry, my lord, all the books we have in our hands are being printed, and they will be printed soon. As long as they are printed, they will be printed very quickly," Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu nodded. The technique of movable type printing is not difficult, and the operation is also very fast. A batch can be printed in a few days.

Zhang Yu decided to go to Luoyang again.

A few days later, Zhang Yu took 500 people with him, and 500 strong men helped to transport things.

This time, Zhang Yu brought some "special products" to the emperor.

There are big pearls from the East China Sea, some seafood, and of course the best immortal brew.

In addition, Queen He has not been forgotten.

Speaking of which, last time, Zhang Yu didn't even see Empress He, but someone handed over the items.

No matter what this time, I have to meet the queen, deepen my relationship with the queen, and tell He Jin not to trouble him.

With multiple purposes, Zhang Yu led the team to set off again.

Not long after setting off, after entering Wu County, you can see the vigorous road construction army, and there are already many such road construction troops.

Zhang Yu led the team to walk for more than ten days, and it went smoothly during the ten days, and he insisted on several road construction points.

That night, Zhang Yu and the others had just been stationed in the field not long ago.

"My lord, there are signs of large-scale personnel activities ahead, and the situation is unknown." A scout came back and reported.

Zhang Yu was taken aback, thought for a while and said, "Send a few more people out and order the soldiers to guard the camp."

Every day when they are stationed, Zhang Yu will be more careful, and the surrounding miles are within his detection range, but this is the first time they have encountered such a situation.

This time when Zhang Yu came out, he didn't bring any generals with him, because they all had missions, and they all went out to suppress the bandits.

Half an hour later, a soldier came to report.

"My lord, I found out that there is a group of bandits with more than 3,000 people who want to attack our road construction team." The soldier reported.

"What?" Zhang Yu was startled, and said unhappily: "The team building the road is not protected by the army, so it is very dangerous."

"Order the soldiers to prepare for battle, and send out scouts to contact the surrounding teams of our army." Zhang Yu said.

Zhang Yu and the others found traces left by their own army on the road. Zhang Yu judged that there must be his own troops around.

Five hundred soldiers, ready for battle soon.

Under the cover of night, five hundred soldiers moved towards the bandit.

"You dare to rob the team building the road, you are on the point of gunpoint." Zhang Yu said as he walked.
