That's how things settled.
Zhang Yu no longer retails salt to Xuzhou.
In order to express their "sincerity", the six major salt merchants agreed to exchange gold and silver coins worth millions of copper coins with Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu was funny, they didn't do it for any sincerity at all, but saw the benefits of gold coins and silver coins.
The money is easy to hide, even if it is used for trade, there is no need to transport copper coins in a large truck.
A few people came here worried, and then left in peace.
After a few people left, Zhang Yu called Mi Zhu again the next day.
"Brother Mi, this is an opportunity. How about I cash out some of it for you and bring it to Yangzhou?" Zhang Yu said.
At first Mi Zhu couldn't understand, so Zhang Yu explained to him.
Many of Zhang Yu's stores that sell salt are actually borrowed from Mi's stores, so that they can be spread quickly. Otherwise, just looking for these stores would not be a matter of months.
"Now that I'm leaving Xuzhou Yanshi, these shops will naturally not be used. This is something everyone in Xuzhou knows, but they don't know that these shops belong to you. I can help you sell them all without anyone noticing." Zhang Yu said.
If Mi Zhu sells the fixed assets, he will be noticed soon. Before that, he transferred other properties.
Mi Zhu was still hesitating, but Zhang Yu continued, "According to my judgment, Tao Qian won't live long."
"Okay, then there will be Brother Laozhang." Upon hearing this, Mi Zhu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately agreed.
Once Tao Qian died, his successor was likely to be Liu Bei, at least Liu Bei would also be in power. With the addition of the Chen family, Mi Zhu's development in Xuzhou would be limited, so it is better to take the opportunity to retreat.
A few days later, when these salt merchants returned, Zhang Yu did not continue to sell salt, which made several major salt merchants happy.
The few salt merchants stopped making trouble and took over the market that Zhang Yu had withdrawn from. They were soon able to sell the salt hoarded at home, and the family survived the crisis.
Tao Qian was also relieved to see that the matter was resolved satisfactorily, so Xuzhou's soldiers and horses have not yet been trained, and Xuzhou will be in danger if a war is really going to happen.
"Xuande, Zhang Yu must be kicked out of Xuzhou in the future. This trade agreement is really a shame to this old man." At this time, Tao Qian was seriously ill, and he called Liu Bei and said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tao, you will get better soon. I will help you strengthen your army. Then it will not be at anyone's discretion." Liu Bei said.
Tao Qian had expressed that he would give up Xuzhou to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was actually very happy, but he didn't dare to express it, and he was still modest.
On the surface, Zhang Yu withdrew from Xuzhou's salt market and temporarily lifted the crisis, but Zhang Yu still controlled Xuzhou's salt, and it was fine for the time being. Tao Qian could not tolerate such a thing for a long time.
But what Tao Qian didn't know was that Zhang Yu continued to infiltrate from several other aspects.
There are low-grade tea and immortal brew, and there are cheap books and paper. There are no local merchants like salt. Zhang Yu has entered these industries, and Xuzhou has not noticed it at all.
Xuzhou's copper coins are being lost rapidly, and this gradual method, coupled with the fact that the ancients did not understand, no one will notice at all.
But Zhang Yu understood in his heart.
He has obtained more than 2 million copper coins from Xuzhou, and will get tens of millions of copper coins within a month.
It won't be long before Xuzhou will lack copper coins on a large scale.
There will be a shortage because the population is also skyrocketing.
For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, when a large amount of silver flowed out in the form of opium, the imperial court panicked. Because the imperial court was facing a situation where there was no money to collect, it made a big determination to eliminate opium.
Not to mention such far-off things, Zhang Yu did not go to occupy Xuzhou, but wanted to boil Xuzhou and turn Xuzhou into his own pot.
Territory is not the most important thing for Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu's territory is the whole world, but what he lacks is money.
Things in Xuzhou were confirmed, and Zhang Yu began to make further arrangements.
Zhang Yu then decided to go there.
The wedding was still three months away, and it only took a few days to go back and forth from Kuaiji County. Zhang Yu planned to go there in person.
Zhang Yu explained the matter in two days, and then began to prepare.
"Xin'er, shall we go on our honeymoon?" Zhang Yu approached Xiang Xin and said.
Xiang Xin was puzzled, and Zhang Yu explained.
"Okay, okay, my husband is too kind to me." After hearing the explanation, Xiang Xin jumped up happily.
Xiang Xin rested his chin in one hand and thought for a while, "Husband, sometimes you are too bad, why don't you let Wan'er go with us."
.
Of course Zhang Yu agreed.
So, Zhang Yu soon took Xiang Xin and Wan'er ready to set off.
