Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 57 Journey

"Li Daoyuan, are you leading the right way?" The huge player caravan consisted of more than 50 people, walking on the official road with rammed soil.

Li Daoyuan, who is known as a senior traveling friend and an expert in field survival, volunteered to be a guide.

The players have set off from Guazhou for three days. At the beginning, all the players were extremely excited and regarded this as a grand wild camping.

But soon, all the players discovered that traveling far away in this era is really not a good choice.

The camels in the caravan are all used to carry the goods. Currently, except for a few local tyrants, most players cannot afford horses.

Even if you can afford a horse, there are not many players who are proficient in riding. You must know that riding a horse is a very dangerous thing. In the era when special effects were not popular, there were often news of cast members falling off their horses and getting injured.

So except for a few scout players who rode horses, most players had to take the No. [-] bus to Guazhou.

It was still the first month of the month, and it was cold and windy in Longyou. The players were wearing thick clothes, carrying weapons and goods, and walking on the muddy grass, which made the pampered players torment.

After finally walking on the official road, I finally didn't have to face the muddy grass, and suddenly there was another blizzard.

For safety, the team camped near the official road and waited until the blizzard had passed before proceeding.

The originally smooth official road became extremely muddy, and the melting snow and mud mixed together, making it more difficult to walk than grass.

Li Daoyuan, who was in charge of leading the way, became the target of the players' anger. Along the way, he, a senior donkey friend, was often ridiculed by other players.

Even though adventure players are struggling so much, Sun Jianguo and other lifestyle players complained even more. Sun Jianguo regretted it, why not add a little more attributes to stamina, and fill it up when he goes back!
Li Daoyuan took out the map, carefully looked at the direction of the sun and said, "Stop screaming! We will be in Yanchi soon!"

Qin Chuan and other scouts on horseback surrounded him one after another: "Yanchi? Isn't Yanchi not far from Sanwei Mountain?"

Li Daoyuan said: "Not far, Yanchi is the salt field of Shazhou, and Sanwei Mountain is behind Yanchi."

Qin Chuan showed an excited expression. Along the way, he suffocated the adventurous players!
What about the robbers?What about the bandits? Why didn't I meet any of them!
Perhaps the player's caravan is too large, and ordinary bandits dare not attack at all.

The adventure players who wanted to make a lot of money now can only think that the bandits in Sanwei Mountain can give you some contribution points.

Standing beside Li Daoyuan, Jiang Lun asked, "Is the salt pond near Shazhou still producing salt?"

Li Daoyuan nodded and said: "The salt pond is a large salt water lake. In our era, the salt pond had already dried up, but in the Tang Dynasty, this salt pond supplied salt for millions of soldiers and civilians in Longyou."

Li Daoyuan said with a look of yearning: "I heard that the water in Yanchi is very blue, like a huge mirror, which can reflect the entire sky into it. Standing in Yanchi is like standing in the sky!"

Looking at the scenery is the purpose of Li Daoyuan playing games. Obviously, Yanchi in Shazhou is also one of Li Daoyuan's check-in attractions.

But Jiang Lun heard another thing, that is, the salt produced in Yanchi supplied the entire Longyou Dao.

Salt was a more necessary commodity than ironware in ancient times. If the salt fields in Shazhou can be controlled and the backward salt-making process can be improved, then the Jianning Palace can have another golden chicken that lays eggs.

At this time, Qin Chuan came over again and asked, "Brother Li, have you been to the Sanwei Mountain?"

Qin Chuan asked about the Sanwei Mountain in reality, Li Daoyuan nodded and said, "I have been there once, but the current Sanwei Mountain is not interesting."

"why?"

"Sanwei Mountain is rumored to have Buddha's light descended on it. Now it is a holy place of religion. There are all kinds of temples and temples on the mountain. They are all newly built temples in modern times. They are all places to cheat money."

"What about in the game?"

"Now Sanwei Mountain used to be a Buddhist holy place in Shazhou, but now it is in a state of chaos, and the mountain is occupied by bandits, who specialize in robbing passing merchants."

Qin Chuan asked suspiciously: "Sanwei Mountain is so close to Shazhou, why doesn't the Doulu Army care about it?"

Li Daoyuan sighed and said, "The Doulu army has also cleared up several times, but every time the army is dispatched, the bandits on the mountain will hide and wait until the officers and soldiers leave."

"Although this group of bandits occupies the mountain as king, they only seek money without killing their lives. They just extort tolls. Moreover, they would retreat when encountering officers and soldiers, so the governor of Shazhou did not make up his mind to eliminate them."

It seems that the bandits in Sanwei Mountain are not strong, they just rely on the location to make some money to buy roads.

A group of adventure players are interested. If these bandits can be eliminated, a lot of contribution points will definitely be earned.

Qin Chuan took the lead and asked, "About how many bandits are there in Sanwei Mountain?"

Before Li Daoyuan set off, he had already spent a lot of money to inquire about information from merchants from Shazhou.

Li Daoyuan said: "Sanwei Mountain is not a group of bandits. I heard that there are several villages. They usually do their own things. When they encounter fat sheep, they will unite and act together. When the government and army go up the mountain to suppress bandits, they will organize themselves Hiding in the cave for zero, very cunning."

"On the opposite side of Sanwei Mountain is the Dunhuang Grottoes. There are also many caves on Sanwei Mountain. It is very easy for bandits to hide."

Hearing about the Dunhuang Grottoes, many players became interested again.

With the current level of popularity of "The Wind of the Tang Dynasty", any recorded video can be popular on the B network. On short video websites such as Douyin, the popularity of "The Wind and Cloud of the Tang Dynasty" is also quite high.

A few days ago, Cui Tao recorded a video of discussing ancient poetry with Zhang Mian, the governor of Guazhou. Yes, his understanding of poetry is too deep!

I don't know if the production team has restored the Dunhuang Grottoes. If a video can be shot in the Dunhuang Grottoes, wouldn't it be popular all over the Internet?
Qin Chuan and other adventurers are gearing up. If they can annihilate the bandits in Sanwei Mountain, they will not only gain a lot of contribution points, but also ensure the safety of the trade routes.

After the players rested, they saluted and mounted the camels, and the group trekked along the official road again.

Two days later, the players suddenly discovered that a touch of bright blue broke into the originally desolate scenery.

Li Daoyuan hurriedly climbed up and took out a telescope with exquisite hand-polished crystal lenses. The mirror-like lake surface jumped into his eyes. The blue sky was printed on the lake surface, and white clouds drifted by.

"Brothers, the salt pond is here!"

Salt Pond!The players rushed up one after another, looked at the huge lake in front of them, and cheered excitedly!
I finally left the wilderness where the birds don't shit, and came to a place where there are people!
