Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players
Chapter 228 The Player's Faction
Chapter 228 The Player's Faction
But although Sun Jianguo is the president of the green light pendant, the player union is not a strict organization, and there is no way to force the players to do anything.
Sun Jianguo could only say: "Come here, stroll around the city of Kucha, maybe there is a chance to make a fortune?"
After finishing this sentence, Bo Yang immediately said: "The president is right. I have worked so hard to get here. It would be a waste if I don't take a good look around in the city of Kucha. After inspecting the market in Kucha, I will think about it." Shall we continue westward?"
Many merchants and players nodded at this moment. Sun Jianguo and Bo Yang were right. They finally came to Kucha. At least they had to earn back their capital before going back. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time.
The next morning, Ma Bijiu knocked on the door of Sun Jianguo's room and said, "Sun Lang, I just found out that the Kucha Fair at the end of the ten-day period will be held as usual."
"The big fair is about to open?" Sun Jianguo woke up immediately, and he quickly asked: "Didn't the big fair stop this month because the sudden horses invaded the border?"
Ma Bijiu said happily: "Guo Duhu led his troops to chase after Tu Shiqi. I heard that Kucha is safe, so the big fair will be held as usual."
As it turned out, Sun Jianguo was also very happy that the Kucha Fair could be held smoothly, and he could attract more players to stay in Kucha to support his westward development plan.
Sun Jianguo himself, as the main figure of the westbound faction, is committed to developing westward, which forms a vague competition with the mainstream eastbound faction of players.
In addition to professional divisions, today's players are left with disputes over the direction of development, which are also so-called factions.
The mainstream of players today is the faction that advocates eastward development.
As long as the obedience of the northern grassland is maintained, this kind of peace will be maintained, and the power of the Mobei grassland will be tied up with trade.
The Dongjin faction advocated going east out of Hexi, occupying Liangzhou and advancing into the Central Plains.
The strategy of the Dongjin faction players, although the Tang army can regain the two capitals this year, it will take four years to put down the Anshi Rebellion.
If you can get out of Hexi and then occupy the Hetao area, then you can directly attack the thief's lair eastward.
With the credit for countering the rebellion, there will be political and military capital to fight for the throne.
After the Battle of Jinshan, the threat of the Uighurs in the north was temporarily lifted, and the players successfully occupied Beiting Duhufu.
In addition to the Dongjin faction, there are also some players who advocate going north to control Mobei. King Jianning's army can march in Mobei and go around to Fanyang, An Qingxu's lair, and use this method to quell the Anshi Rebellion.
Although the idea of this faction is a bit wild, but after careful consideration, it seems that there is really a possibility of success.
In addition to the northward and eastward factions, there were also the southward faction who advocated attacking Tubo first, and the westward faction advocated by Sun Jianguo.
The idea of the Westward Movement faction is also very simple. They advocate aggressiveness in the Western Regions, imitating the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, and establishing the "Western Tang" after occupying Longyou.
These players believe that as long as they defeat Dashi, they can establish a great empire across East Asia and Central Asia in Central Asia.
Even these players put forward the idea of destroying the Byzantine Empire, drinking horses along the Rhine River, and building a super empire across Asia and Europe.
Although this Xijin faction has been sprayed in a mess on the forum, since everyone is playing games, there are naturally some fun players who support Xijin.
If you want to go west, it is necessary to march into the Western Regions, which is why Sun Jianguo formed the Westbound Business Group.
Now that the Kucha Fair is open as usual, the players will temporarily stay in the city of Kucha, waiting for the Grand Fair to be held.
Sun Jianguo took Bo Yang and wandered around the city of Kucha.
Bo Yang looked at the exotic buildings in Kucha City and said, "This Kucha architecture is quite unique. Why do they like to dig holes in the mountains?"
Ordinary houses in Qiuci are similar to cave dwellings on the Loess Plateau. Residents dig holes in the mountains and mounds to live. Even the royal palace in Qiuci is built on the middle of the mountain, and the main body of the palace is also inside the mountain.
Sun Jianguo said: "Maybe it's because the summer in Kucha is too hot. It should be cooler to dig holes in the mountains."
Bo Yang nodded and said, "The city of Kucha is built by mountains and rivers, and its location is indeed very dangerous. No wonder Datang wants to occupy this place."
"That's right. During Taizong's reign, the Tang Dynasty competed with the Turks for Kucha many times. When the Wu Zhou Dynasty regained the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty was the first to attack Kucha. It guards the passages in and out of the desert, and it is the bridgehead for marching into the Western Regions."
The two continued to walk along the street. Kucha is a city with a strong commercial atmosphere. Their houses are built in the mountains, but the shops are Tang-style wooden buildings. The streets are full of various shops.
Sun Jianguo walked into a shop selling spices, and the boss greeted him enthusiastically.
"Dear guest, the spices in my shop are the freshest in the whole street, what spices do you need?"
From the size of the shop, we can see the original prosperity of the shop. There are two open shops displaying various dried spices, but there are not many customers in the shop.
There is not a single clerk in the shop, only the boss personally entertains the guests, which shows the depression of the whole shop.
Before the Anlushan Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, spices were an excellent business.
The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty purchased a large amount of spices every year. It is said that Yang Yuhuan, the emperor’s favorite concubine, liked spices very much. The amount of spices purchased by Daming Palace every year was astronomical.
However, since the Anlushan rebellion, the last emperor fled in a hurry, and the new emperor ascended the throne in Lingwu, and the whole country's finances were used to put down the Anlushan rebellion.
Although the extravagance of Fengxiang Mansion is on the rise again, compared with before the war, the consumption of spices has dropped to the lowest point.
Without buyers from Datang, the spice merchants in Kucha City would have a hard time, and a large amount of spices piled up in the shops.
Seeing the extraordinary appearance of these two people, the boss first took out some cloves and pepper and said: "This was just shipped from Tianzhu last month. You two gentlemen can smell it. Our shop is full of the freshest spices." .”
Sun Jianguo picked up dried cloves and pepper, which are similar to the flavors of cooking spices in later generations, but they are used similarly to perfumes in this era.
The literati made sachets and stuffed various spices into them to wear on their bodies.
The richer scholar-bureaucrats would also burn incense wood or incense to fill the whole home with aroma. Before the Anlushan Rebellion, the aristocratic families in the two capitals competed to buy spices, and the burning aroma was a symbol of wealth and power.
A wealthy family that can support the burning of spices day and night, also known as Zhilan House, is considered to be an elegant and well-established family.
It's just that after An Lushan invaded the two capitals, the fragrance of the prosperous Tang Dynasty lingering on the two capitals was swept away, and the spice business in Kucha also declined.
Looking at these dried spices, Sun Jianguo asked: "Shop, do you have fresh spice seeds for sale here?"
