Volume 1 The First Establishment of Internet Cafes 116 Okay! Get out!
After an unprecedented victory, not many people really noticed that the treasury was empty. This emptiness is empty in the true sense, and in the entire treasury, there are only one hundred taels of silver and hundreds of spirit stones left!
This is a lot of money for the average person. But for Cai Hui, who needs to control a country, this amount of money, let alone stuffing his teeth, is basically no different from drinking the northwest wind.
It's almost a dead end! The legacy left by the original Rui Kingdom is now only a huge palace! It's not going to sell for money at all. Even if Cai Hui is willing to sell, who would dare to buy it? As for the jewelry and cultural toys that were used as princes, they were sold long ago at the beginning of the establishment of the Lan Kingdom.
No one thought that at such a critical juncture, it was Zhang Yidao who stood up again. He took out all the resources he had accumulated in the One Qi Dao Sect and sold them into gold, silver, and spirit stones, which he used to fill the treasury.
As a Taoist cultivator, the resources that Zhang Yidao has accumulated over hundreds of years can be called terrifying! Not to mention the countless spirit stones, the talismans and pills of various levels are also stacked as high as a small mountain, and there are several small mountains.
But even with so many resources, after being sold, it can only plug the financial loopholes after the big victory. But in any case, at least the current situation has been resolved!
After that, Cai Hui frantically wanted to develop business, but at this time, the second blow of Changguo and Kunguo came! They no longer attacked in the form of army conquests, but began to target the economy of the Lan Kingdom!
For example, prohibiting the export of goods from Lan, prohibiting merchants from Kun and Chang from selling goods to Lan, and so on. While restricting import and export trade, the two countries also sent imperial merchants to pretend to be bold merchants, and wantonly raised the price of the lack of materials in the Lan country on the pretext of risking their lives to do business with the Lan country! At the same time, these goods are also limited!
As for the things that Lan Guo sold to them, these imperial merchants either did not accept them, or found excuses to suppress the price, and almost all the items were pushed to the position of cost price, so that Lan Guo had almost no profit at all.
This blow made the already not rich Lan country even worse! Since Shang Jia Xingguo's strategy could not go on, Cai Hui could only send Hou Shi to sweep away the mountain bandits in the Lan State in the name of military training.
As for those uncles and uncles who stuck to their own city, Cai Hui didn't want to do it. Those guys are all fat and oily, and they are greedy when they look at it! But these guys did not participate in the war, and Cai Hui did not want to test how strong the strength accumulated over the years was.
This situation is protracted, and the tax revenue of the country can basically only ensure the normal operation of various organs. Cai Hui also thought about raising taxes, but when he thought of the previous war, those ordinary businessmen would even take the initiative to send materials and money to the army.
Cai Hui felt that he couldn't do it. What's more, the law practiced by the Lan State was originally the law of the original Cai State, and the original tax was not low, but if it increased again, the people would not be able to live.
After all this, Cai Hui, who was once high-spirited, even began to doubt life. Did he think it was really a good idea for him to come forward? Now life is hard, haha, as the king of a country, his food is sometimes even worse than that of a businessman.
It is precisely because of these that Cai Hui heard Zhang Yidao say that he had found the hope of Lan Guo, and he was so out of shape.
He's too hard, really too hard.
"That national teacher, where is the hope of my Lan country!" At this time, Cai Hui's eyes flashed like a beast that had been hungry for a week! Not to mention choosing someone to eat, but whenever he sees a meat star, he can pounce on it and grab it!
But when Cai Hui asked where the hope came from, Zhang Yidao, who was originally excited, suddenly became very unnatural on his face. Because he remembered the hexagram he saw this morning, the source of hope, it seems... A city on the border with the country of Lan.
The excited Cai Hui didn't notice this, and when he saw that Zhang Yidao didn't say anything for a long time, he was even more excited. After some inquiry, Zhang Yidao reluctantly spoke.
"My lord, this hope comes from... From the old capital. ”
"Old... The old capital? You mean the city of origins? Cai Hui, who was originally excited, looked at Zhang Yidao with only one meaning after hearing the word "old capital" - are you kidding me?
It's no wonder that Cai Hui will question Zhang Yidao like this, mainly because the old capital is far less prosperous than before! The large Taoist sects that once stood around the Origin City have moved out one after another, the huge imperial city has been renovated many times because of the collapse of the country, the area has shrunk again and again, and most of the trading houses in the city have been evacuated!
This has almost turned the once most prosperous city into the poorest city in the entire Lan country! Think about it, the land of Lan is so poor, and the origin city is still the poorest city! When Cai Ji heard it, he had to wonder where the spirit stones he earned came from!
Is there a spirit stone to pick up at the border?
Of course, the current Origin City is much better than the Origin City when Cai Hui left. After all, the armistice between the three countries has lasted for many years, and despite the harshness of the other two countries to the Lan country, it can still develop to some extent.
In addition, the origin city is located on the border, and many transactions that cannot be said are relatively easy to facilitate. Speaking of which, Wang Youde still relies on this line of work to make his home!
Similarly, the reason why Cai Hui questioned it was also because the Origin City was on the border! Originally, he wasn't, but after Lan lost that state, he was. Or the most frontier state and the most frontier city!
How can hope be born in such a dangerous place?
Zhang Yidao also felt very distressed about this problem. To be honest, he is not surprised that this ray of hope was born somewhere, even in other countries! But only it was born in the old capital...
After all, it's the old capital, and there is avoidance.
A monarch and a minister fell silent. After a while, Cai Hui decided to send someone to go! Regardless of whether it is the old capital or not, it is not a little unreliable, since Zhang Yidao calculated that he hopes to be in the Origin City, then go to the Origin City!
"This time I still hope that the national teacher can send someone to visit. After all, what Dao cultivators can see, many people can't see. ”
"Thank you for your trust!"
Just when Cai Hui was in the palace of the Lan Kingdom, he was about to send someone to investigate the Origin City. Cai Ji sat in his seat with a distressed face, rubbing his face frantically.
He shouldn't be curious, and he shouldn't think that Yang Xi will change "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" too! Looking at the large group of players around him who smelled his own chatter, Cai Ji felt a deep headache!
Yang Xi's goods are really enough to pit. Whether "Three Kingdoms Interpretation" has been changed by magic, Cai Ji really doesn't know! Why? Because Yang Xi this time, he actually updated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the game in a serialized way!
Luo Guanzhong heard this, and wanted to jump out of the coffin and lift Yang Xi's heavenly spirit cover!
Cai Ji really didn't understand what Yang Xi wanted to do. Didn't you want to help Lan Guo? Then why did you make "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" an update? Wouldn't it be over if you put the whole book on it!
Just because "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is so good-looking, but Yang Xi's broken chapters are too ecstatic, so that now all the customers who have watched "Three Kingdoms" surround Cai Ji and ask what is behind it.
He explained several times that the book was not written by himself, so he didn't know what was behind it. But, after all, I can't stop customers from believing it!
You Cai Ji is the owner of the origin Internet café, what kind of game is this, when will the novel in the game be updated, will you know? Even if you don't know, can't you help urge?
Cai Ji felt like he was in a duck farm. Tens of thousands of ducks are barking around them, and the chickens want to kill these guys. Finally, after being annoyed for half an hour, Cai Ji couldn't bear it anymore, Cai Ji was furious and slammed the table.
"It's endless! I don't know, I don't know! When his mother came to ask, all of them were blacklisted! ”
A real blacklist threat!
Hearing the name of the blacklist, the customers, who were still about to move, stopped their thoughts. Slowly disperse towards the surroundings and return to your position. Even if you don't have a novel to read, you can still play games.
Of course, fragmented thoughts are certainly indispensable.
"Alas, Shopkeeper Cai is really. Didn't you just want to ask about the follow-up of the novel, why did you move the blacklist out to scare people? ”
"No, it's not necessary! It's a pity, such a good-looking novel, and it has to wait for serialization slowly. ”
"Anyway, I don't know how often "Three Kingdoms" is updated, if it is updated once every half a month, I feel like I can't bear it."
"Ahh Without "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", look at me and I'm going to die! ”
The broken thoughts of those customers, Cai Ji didn't care. They want their favorite books to come out with the latest chapters soon, and Cai Ji understands very well.
When he was in Blue Star, he also felt like this when he chased online novels! If Yang Xi hadn't imprisoned him at home, he would have been able to run to the author's house and lock him up in a small black room, and stop eating if he didn't update a hundred and eighty chapters every day!
Of course, understanding is understanding, and he Cai Ji is not the author of this book! You urge me to have a hammer! There is a kind, go to urge Luo Guanzhong... I'm sorry Mr. Luo. There is a kind, go and urge Yang Xi!
Finally dispersed the customers surrounded by the gang, and Cai Ji was just about to start experiencing Yang Xi's modified "Three Kingdoms" when he heard Wang Youde's voice coming over.
"Hey, it's so hard to squeeze in! These guys are really, what's the use of surrounding Boss Cai. ”
How comfortable it is to listen to this! Cai Ji subconsciously replied.
"Isn't it!"
Who knew that this sentence directly exposed that Cai Ji did not start the game, Wang Youde's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed directly to Cai Ji's side, grabbing Cai Ji's hand and thanking him again. Just as Cai Ji was about to shake off Lao Wang's hand, he heard a familiar voice - Xue Qiangui!
"Oh, thank you so much for Shopkeeper Cai..."
"Get out!"
"Okay! Get out! ”
