Chapter 469 A new round of military expansion

This wedding is absolutely unprecedented grand, of course, it is not sure how many Zhang Yu will be able to invite people.

But it doesn't matter, just come and spread Jiangdong's demeanor.

Zhang Yu no longer needs to develop carefully, as long as he defends, he is not afraid of any enemy.

Show Jiangdong's prosperity to the world, some people will be afraid, some people will be happy, no matter what, no one will dare to do anything to Zhang Yu in the future.

But what Zhang Yu is most worried about is whether Xiang Xin can accept it.

No matter what Xiang Xin said, she was Zhang Yu's official wife, and she was the first to hold a wedding. The wedding with Cai Yan surpassed her, and she was absolutely sorry.

At night, Zhang Yu went to find Xiang Xin on purpose.

"Xin'er, you should know that I'm going to marry Cai Yan." Zhang Yu said holding Xiang Xin.

Xiang Xin smiled sweetly and said, "Understood, my husband should have married Sister Cai Yan a long time ago, and only my husband can be worthy of such an outstanding talented woman like Sister Cai Yan."

Xiang Xin is not jealous at all, but takes it for granted.

"It's really cool in ancient times." Zhang Yu sighed shamelessly.

How many wives does Zhang Yu have, and how many wives are not jealous.

Then Zhang Yu said: "Because of several reasons, the wedding with Cai Yan must be grand, and the princes and families of the world must be invited to attend, so..."

Xiang Xin was very smart and knew what Zhang Yu was going to say, and she said, "Husband, it doesn't matter. Back then, the conditions for our wedding were not allowed, and besides, so many people blessed us back then, so I was already very satisfied. Sister Cai Yan She is the most talented woman in the world, and she must not be wronged."

It is not for nothing that Cai Yan is the most talented woman in the world. After she arrived in Jiangdong, she had a lot of books to read, and she had been helping Cai Yong sort out materials, so her talents and learning were high, and she wrote several very famous articles.

Seeing Xiang Xin being so reasonable, Zhang Yu felt very happy.

After waking up the next day, Zhang Yu started to deal with government affairs.

Zhang Yu called Zhang Zhao.

"To show off to the outside world, you must have absolute strength to avoid being coveted by others, so you must have a strong army. I will increase the army in the Jiangdong area to 20, with 15 as the main battle army and [-] as the city defense army. In addition, militia organizations are set up in various places and disabled soldiers are trained. Is there any pressure on you?" Zhang Yu said to Zhang Zhao.

How could Zhang Zhao not be under pressure? The military benefits are high, and the 20 troops cost tens of millions of dollars every month.

The military salary alone, if one hundred copper coins per person a month, would cost 2000 million, and the daily food cost would be a big ratio. It would not be tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions a month, which would not be able to support the army at all.

Zhang Zhao pondered for a while and said: "So, the overseas part must stop expanding, and there is no need to support the north, so we can handle it completely."

The expansion of the army to 20 is not a small number, especially since most of them are the main battle army.

"Taiwan Province should be getting income soon, how much money can it provide each month recently?" Zhang Yu asked again.

Taiwan Province was once Zhang Yu's key development area.

"My lord, according to your request, the newly developed arable land in Taiwan Province will be exempted from tax for three years, and the second half of the three years will be taxed. Now Taiwan Province has millions of other incomes every month, but they are all invested in development again." Zhang Zhao said.

Zhang Yu suddenly felt that he was really poor.

Taiwan Province, Guangdong Province, and Hainan Island all need a lot of investment in development.

Guangdong Province and Hainan Zhangyu did not invest much, so the development was very slow.

"That's the only way to go." Zhang Yu secretly decided in his heart that he must immediately start the plan to mint gold coins, silver coins and his own copper coins.

Many of these coins have been minted. Zhang Yu estimates that they are also worth tens of millions, but the scale is still too small, so Zhang Yu has not yet started to use them, but just keeps them.

But recently, many princes began to mine copper mines and sold them to Zhang Yu.

With a large amount of copper mines, Zhang Yu also started minting coins.

According to the current situation, tens of millions of copper coins can be produced every month.

However, the scale is still too small, 1000 million a month, it seems a lot, but it is really not much to spend.

In any case, the expansion of the army is imperative. Zhang Yu would rather postpone the development of other places first because he needs to arm the army before the wedding.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Zhao spent a few days to formulate a plan. The [-] troops will be trained directly in Taiwan Province, and they will be brought back after training.

There are naturally no enemies in the overseas part, at least for now, so Zhang Yuxun only deployed a small number of troops to maintain order in these places.

Now that there are a large number of civilians in Taiwan Province, it is not difficult to recruit [-] troops.

Some other troops were also assigned, ready to start training.

The start-up capital is the millions Zhang Yu looted back from Xuzhou.

Zhang Yu is preparing various things, but many things have to be temporarily suspended because of insufficient funds.

When Zhang Yu was in distress, a soldier came in and reported, "My lord, the fleet returning from overseas said they have something important to report."

Overseas Zhang Yu takes it very seriously, and the subordinates immediately report important matters.

Zhang Yu asked the guards to rush to bring the man in.

A man in his 30s came in, but his face was full of weather.

"Zhao Hai, please sit down quickly."

The person who came was Zhao Hai, and he was a very experienced captain. Zhang Yu had met him several times.

Zhao Hai was very excited, and every time Zhang Yu saw him, he respected him very much.

He is a boatman, if he is in other places, he is definitely the lowest existence.

But here, there are no scholars, farmers, businessmen, and he is very respected as a person who walks alone.

Of course Zhang Yu respects him very much, because in Zhang Yu's eyes, he is a navigator and an adventurer.

Many air routes were opened up by Zhao Hai's people.

Zhao Hai led people to find out many places in the southeast region, so how could Zhang Yu disrespect him.

Zhao Hai sat down in panic, and Zhang Yu asked someone to make tea.

After Zhao Hai rested for a while, Zhang Yu asked: "Zhao Hai, I heard that you have something important to report, what exactly is it?"

Zhao Hai was about to stand up and answer, Zhang Yu asked him to sit down quickly.

After Zhao Hai sat down, he said to Zhang Yu: "My lord, we found a large number of islands in the southeast region. On the islands, we found the copper and silver mines that the lord urgently needs, and they are very easy to mine."

"Okay, that's great, Zhao Hai, you've done a great job." What Zhang Yu lacked most was money, and now the news Zhao Hai brought was too important.
