Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 256 Zhangye prepares for war, the rancher saves himself
In Wuwei City, Fang Guan, the Hexi Jiedu envoy, was still hesitating whether to accept the Tubo secret agreement and transfer the Chishui Army back from the western fortress?
Although Fang Guan made a fortune by plundering merchants' money, the merchants on this trade route are not fools.

At that time, in order to blackmail these businessmen again, Fang Guan asked their buddies to take the money to redeem the boss.

After Hubayi was imprisoned in Jiedushi Mansion for a few days, he was redeemed by loyal assistants.

But all the hard-earned goods were taken away, and the money that was originally planned to buy silk in Wuwei was used to redeem people.

After Hubayi was released from prison, he immediately left Wuwei City with his caravan, regardless of his injuries.

Fang Guan's behavior was no less than killing chickens to extract eggs. He not only slaughtered the merchants from Longyou, but also "treated all the original silk merchants" from them, and confiscated all their goods and put them in prison.

Now, all the merchants traveling to and from Wuwei City knew that Fang Guan, the Hexi Jiedu envoy, was crazy about money.

Wuwei City was originally a thriving trade, but it slumped in an instant. Merchants chose to bypass Wuwei City and go directly to Zhangye City for transactions.

In the original income of Wuwei City, the lijin business tax collection of past merchants was a very important part.

Although the search for merchants made a quick fortune, the lost credit could not be repaired in the short term. The merchants stopped coming to Wuwei City, and the Jiedu Shifu lost another source of income.

The arrears of the Chishui Army's military expenses have not yet been settled, and now the Hexi Jiedu Mansion can't even pay the salaries of the officials.

Fang Guan is now so worried that he doesn't even participate in the poetry meeting, and spends all day long sighing in the Jiedushi's mansion.

Why am I obsessed with ghosts, and come here to the northwest to be a Jiedu envoy.

Staying in Fengxiang mansion, even if the emperor despises him, he can be the governor of a big state if he is released.

It's all right now, I'm going to suffer in Wuwei, a place that doesn't shit, and I'm going to be pressed for debts by the vulgar soldiers like the Chishui Army.

Fang Guan looked at the white hair growing gradually in the bronze mirror, beat his chest and regretted listening to Dou Shen's bewitching.

Fang Guan's hair was only gradually graying, and Hu Bayi, who was imprisoned for several days, had all his hair graying.

This time, his caravan was seriously injured. If he hadn't treated his fellows well, they would have died in prison if they tried their best to rescue them.

Hubayi narrowly escaped death, and was afraid that the Jiedu envoy would come to arrest them businessmen again, so he left Wuwei City dragging his body tortured by the prison guards.

Hu Bayi met caravans along the way, and told the caravan owners what happened to them. These caravans turned around one after another, not daring to go to Wuwei City anymore.

It was only when he was about to escape to Zhangye City that Hubayi relaxed.

Taking stock, this time it was really a heavy loss.

The batch of Jiuquan blue cloth bought by Jiuquan was all confiscated by tax collectors in Wuwei, and other scattered goods were also seized and confiscated.

In addition to the goods, in order to rescue Hubayi, the guys used all the money they had planned to buy to make connections and bribed the officials of the Jiedu envoy.

This time, Hubayi lost all his money. When he arrived at the foot of Zhangye City, he couldn't help crying loudly.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he saved his life, and the mules, horses and carts of the caravan are still there.

But now he no longer has any capital, and Hubayi doesn't even have the capital to purchase goods in Zhangye.

Originally, Hu Bayi wanted to find a few colleagues in Zhangye City to borrow money from, but these colleagues, like Hu Bayi, were all beaten by Fang Guan, and all of them were penniless.

Without money, it was difficult to purchase supplies and return to his hometown. Hu Bayi could only take his buddies and live in Zhangye temporarily.

At this time in Zhangye City, Sima of the Overlord in the Governor's Mansion, and Cui Tao, who sentenced the military forces of Ganzhou, were worrying about the upcoming war.

Yu Chixin has already led the army to perform outside the city, and the troops from other places are also gathering towards Zhangye.

Cui Tao needs to prepare camp and food for the coming army, and also needs to strengthen the city defenses and prepare for the defense of the city.

The rebuilding work of Zhangye City has finally improved, and a lot of financial resources have to be spent on the war. Cui Tao has not had a good life for a few days, and he is starting to be nervous again.

Players near Zhangye City are preparing for this upcoming war.

Wan Xiangjun's hot air balloon workshop has received five orders from the military, and they have recruited many indigenous workers, who are busy sewing hot air balloons in the workshop every day.

This war is a great opportunity for Wan Xiangjun and their workshop. Even the hot air balloon they used for experiment was bought by Yu Chixin, which greatly improved the tight financial situation of the hot air balloon workshop.

For the five Wanxiang Army brothers, this war is a war dividend.

But for Shandan Racecourse, east of Zhangye City, the impending war is a cloud hanging over their heads.

Shandan Ranch is to the east of Zhangye City. Once a war breaks out, it is difficult for Shandan Ranch not to be affected.

Now the Shandan Ranch has been sold to players. Those players who have just bought the ranch will prepare to fight before they can enjoy the idyllic ranch life!
"Sunday your mother, Cui Tao, refund the money!"

"Refund the money! I'm here to run the ranch! I'm not here to fight!"

"What ranch story, this is obviously a breeding story! I either breed horses every day, or I am on the way to breed horses, and then cut grass to feed horses and graze. I am going to throw up!" This is an urban youth who yearns for life on the ranch. , a rancher who is tortured by the heavy daily life of Shandan Ranch.

If the game didn't lower the senses, the smell of the stables alone would be enough to dissuade most players.

The ranch players asked Cui Tao for help and asked the governor's office to protect the property of the ranch players.

However, Cui Tao took out the rental contract, took the last clause of the contract "the governor's office will not compensate for the loss of the ranch due to force majeure", and drove the group of players away.

Apart from being incompetent and furious on the forum, rancher players can only find their own way to defend their ranch.

Today Zheng He convened a meeting of all ranchers in the yamen of the herd supervisor to discuss how to defend the Shandan ranch.

After all thirty ranchers had arrived, Zheng He coughed and said:
"Everyone is already aware of the attitude of the governor's office. Now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, and we can only think about saving ourselves."

The rancher players were full of resentment. Many of them spent money to contract the ranch. They didn’t expect that the life of the rancher was not as idyllic as in "The Story of the Farm". Now they have to defend their ranch by themselves.

In addition to cursing Cui Tao, they also had no choice but to respond to Zheng He's call and find ways to defend their homeland.

Zheng He coughed and said, "I have an idea, and I call everyone to come over and discuss it."
