Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 523 Where Does The Money Come From?
But it wasn't until Hu Yu came to Xichuan Jiedushi's warehouse that he realized what Wei Jiansu's so-called full support for his marching practice was a blank check.

The entire warehouse of the Xichuan Jiedu Mission Mansion is cleaner than Hu Yu's face.

The floor of the treasury where the money is stored is full of dust. Seeing this, Hu Yu couldn't help asking the treasurer's official:

"Jie Shuai asked me to withdraw money and food from the warehouse at will, where did you hide the money and food?"

The tax collector guarding the treasury said lazily: "Does the Jiedu envoy know if there is any money in the treasury? The emperor came to Shuzhong, and the money was used to build the palace, and later sent the emperor to leave Shu, just to handle this matter." I used up all the money and silk."

"Jie Shuai asked you to withdraw as you like, or Hu Canjun would take me away. Although my level is not high, it is enough to be a quartermaster, and it is better than guarding an empty house here."

The ancients still have deep routines!

Hu Yu secretly scolded Wei Jiansu for being shameless, he deserves to be the one who said the prime minister, the words are so beautiful, the pocket is cleaner than the face.

With no money or food, how do we train new troops?

It's no wonder that recruits can't be recruited. With the state of the Xichuan treasury, I'm afraid you'll be hungry even if you become a soldier.

Hu Yu didn't continue to entangle with this official. Xi Chuan was so poor that if he asked anyone, he would know that there was no need for the official to lie to him.

He also blamed himself for his naivety, it seemed that Wei Jiansu was just prevaricating himself by training new troops.

Hu Yu returned to his home in Chengdu, which was a big house near the Jiedushi's mansion, and there was a big villa in the center of Chengdu across the modern age.

After many players enter the game, they like large houses.

This house was bought by Hu Yu from a bankrupt Shu brocade merchant. It is said that this merchant was because after the emperor came to the middle of Shu, the officials forcibly robbed the property of the Shu brocade merchant for the brocade in the palace, and the merchant’s funds were broken. Only then did he sell his property and leave Shuzhong.

The emperor stayed in Sichuan for a year to avoid disaster, and he had to take care of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, Chen Xuanli's imperial army, and the Hanlin and chess that surrounded the emperor.

The little money and food saved by Xichuan Jiedushi's mansion were quickly squandered.

In order to welcome the emperor to leave Shuzhong, the government put Shu brocade on all the walls of Chengdu City.

Naturally, these brocades were "borrowed" from wealthy families in the city. These exquisite Shu brocades were only hung up for a day on the day the emperor was sent off, and then it was reported that these brocades had been damaged and were directly destroyed by the government.

In addition to supporting the emperor, Wei Jiansu also had a lot of ostentation.

Wei Jiansu, who used to be a prime minister, now retains the same treatment as Fang Guan, that is, he still enjoys the title of prime minister.

So every time Wei Jiansu went out, he had to ride in an ox cart, and people sprinkled white sand on the place where the ox cart traveled.

The Jiedushi's mansion will spend a lot of money just to buy these white sands every year.

In addition, Wei Jiansu and his family had a lot of daily expenses. When Wei Jiansu first arrived in Shuzhong, he had banquets at home almost every day.

To drink, you need the most expensive Shazhou Shao, and to eat, you need a cook from Longyou. The extravagance of life is evident.

Unexpectedly, Nanzhao and Tubo really came to call, and Wei Jiansu panicked.

In fact, he saw it more thoroughly than Hu Yu. Isn't it okay for the Shu army to attack Nanzhao soldiers and guard Xichuan?
It is less than ten years away from the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is so low?
The key reason is the lack of money.

When Hu Yu returned home, several other players quickly surrounded him.

The game of Datang Fengyun is different from other games. No matter how high a person's attribute value is, it is difficult to defeat a hundred on the battlefield.

Most of the time, the role of the team is much greater than that of the individual.

Different from other games, in Datang Fengyun, high-end players don't mean how high your level is, or how strong your combat power is, and it doesn't matter how much wealth you have.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is the ability to dig tasks.

For example, Hu Yu's level is not high, but he has been able to work under Wei Jiansu, and he has been able to receive the task of organizing and training the new army.

In the entire Bashu region, Hu Yu is the top player.

And around the top players, many players will gather around him, and then start to dig out the "quests" in this area.

Obviously, after receiving Wei Jiansu's order to train the new army, Li Yan, who was far away in Longyou, hurriedly issued a new mission to Hu Yu.

[Epic-level regional mission: Player Hu Yu received the order of Xichuan Jiedu envoy Wei Jiansu to form a brave army in Chengdu! 】

[All players in the Bashu region can contact Hu Yu to participate in regional missions. 】

[Mission Objective: Form a new army controlled by players to resist the attacks of Nanzhao and Tubo. 】

[Task Reward: Players who join the new army can get double the experience of part-time generals, and players who are generals in this profession can directly get double experience points. 】

[Mission Reward: Epic Title - Bravery Army, and get an exclusive forum badge. 】

Another epic mission for the region!

This mission has once again attracted the attention of the player forums. Every regional epic mission is a reshuffle of the game!

The last Chang'an epic mission and Luoyang epic mission directly gave birth to two new leveling points.

And the first batch of players operating in Chang'an and Luoyang even caught up with the veteran players in Longyou and became the leader of the new player forces.

Obviously, this Bashu epic-level regional mission is also a new opportunity!
And the formation of the brave army this time is a long-term task, which means that it is still too late to go to Bashu now!

After receiving the regional missions, the players who were originally in Shuzhong gathered in Chengdu City one after another, and gathered by Hu Yu's side.

Hu Yu couldn't be happier, because building an army is a very expensive thing.

Although Wei Jiansu, an old thief, gave policy support, he had no money and no one, so what would he use to form a new army.

The players started discussing in a hurry.

At this time, a female player stood up. This female player had an oval face, with the unique vigor of a Sichuan girl.

The female player's name is Yang Zhen'er, and she and Hu Yu are friends in real life.

After Hu Yu played the game, he soon abducted Yang Zhener to Chengdu, and in reality also abducted Yang Zhener to his home.

Now the two are in pairs in the game world and the real world, but they are envious of a bunch of single dogs.

Yang Zhen'er is a native of Sichuan, with a pungent personality, and an ordinary white-collar worker in a company.

However, in the game, she resolutely takes up the career of a general, determined to practice horsemanship and archery hard, and to become Hua Mulan of the Tang Dynasty.

For this rouge horse, Hu Yu loves and fears very much.

As an ear-scratcher of the Bashu tradition, Hu Yu was afraid that his fierce girlfriend would say something shocking, so he quickly winked him to sit down.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhen'er completely ignored Hu Yu's eyes and said directly:
"Since that bitch Jiedushi doesn't give money, then we'll spread the money ourselves!"

Make money yourself?

Including Hu Yu, there are only ten players in the house now.

The natural barriers of Bashu protected Sichuan from being affected by the Anshi Rebellion, and the geographical isolation made Bashu always a holy place for avoiding disasters in the Central Plains.

But the same geographical isolation makes it very difficult for players to enter Bashu.

Merchants cannot ship bulk goods, and even reselling some small items is not profitable.

Those who come to Bashu with Hu Yu are some of Hu Yu's friends, some are scenery party players who have visited Bashu, and most of them are new players who have only entered the game after eight tests and nine tests.

Yang Zhen'er immediately said, "Find the money yourself! If Wei Jiansu doesn't give you the money, we'll do it ourselves!"

Everyone looked at Yang Zhen'er.

Yang Zhen'er said confidently: "Actually, I'm in Chengdu these days, and the people in Chengdu are still rich."

Several scenery party players nodded.

These players have traveled all the way to Chengdu, and these players have seen what other places in Datang look like.

Even a heavy snowfall in Chang'an City can crush the houses of the people, and hundreds of people froze to death that night.

But in Sichuan, which was not affected by the war, the people in Chengdu can still go to the streets to buy some snacks on market days. Compared with other places, it is indeed a land of abundance.

Yang Zhen'er said: "First of all, we raised money to build up the new army to defend the peace of Bashu, right? It is also taken from the people and used by the people, right?"

Everyone nodded.

Then Yang Zhen'er said: "Do you know that the people in Bashu have a hobby since ancient times?"

The other players shook their heads, but Hu Yu had already figured it out.

Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhen'er stared back.

Yang Zhen'er said proudly: "Gambling!"

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Yang Zhen'er said that it was indeed good, the mahjong-loving place in Bashu is well-known throughout the country.

Although there is no mahjong in Datang, leaf cards are also popular in Chengdu. This is a game with rules between poker and mahjong.

In addition to leaf cards, playing dice is also popular in Chengdu, and the rich and noble families are a little more elegant, and throwing pots is the most popular game at every party.

Touhu is an ancient sport of throwing bows and arrows into long, narrow pots, but the touhu in Chengdu often comes with prizes attached.

But you can't get any money?
Yang Zhen'er said: "You can't get money for leaf cards and pitch pots, but you can get money for one item, and you can make a lot of money!"

"race!"

When Yang Zhen'er said the answer, everyone nodded.

Horse racing, the most popular gambling industry in the world with the widest audience, is also an ancient project.

Starting from Tian Ji's horse racing, this is a spinach activity popular among nobles.

It seems that it is really feasible?
Everyone looked at Hu Yu.
