"Sir, the prefect sent someone to inform you that tomorrow the Yamen of the Governor's Office will hold a meeting." An old servant rushed into the mansion and said to An Changgui who was sitting in the chair.
"Haha, I'm here indeed! Tomorrow's meeting will definitely be about Da Suo Mao Yue!" An Changgui laughed and drank up the wine in his glass.
All the clan leaders picked up their wine glasses and began to look forward to tomorrow's meeting.
But they didn't know that Li Yan had already recruited a hundred players and completed the training of Da Suo Mao Yue.
These players who can write and calculate may not be as capable as the long-time officials, but they are "loyal" to Li Yan because currently only Li Yan, an NPC, can issue contribution points.
Players are such a reality, and anyone who can bring them benefits will go through fire and water without hesitation.
The benefits in the player's eyes are not useless copper coins, but contribution points that can improve attributes.
The lights in the Moli Army camp were brightly lit, and Yu Chixin was standing next to Li Yan in armor.
Cui Tao and other life stream players stood on the other side.
After a period of exploration, players have roughly divided into two ways to play.
One is Yu Chixin's adventure-style gameplay, which focuses on practicing combat skills. Earning contribution points will be converted into strength or agility, which is represented by players like Yu Chixin.
Players in this category are keen on war and adventure. They earn contribution points mainly by collecting bandit bounties issued by Li Yan, or by completing escort missions issued by the governor's office.
This type of player is like a fitness fanatic in the game. They polish their bodies every day and practice archery and riding. They play a traditional RPG.
Most players choose to take the adventure route. After all, the Longyou Road where Guazhou is located is not peaceful. It is also in troubled times now, and there are quite a lot of various escort missions to suppress bandits.
There is no threshold for players in the adventure stream, because the "game" of Datang Fengyun is very real, and it is basically impossible to have one against a hundred. Even if old players go out to do tasks in the city, they will also recruit new players to form a team.
Therefore, as long as adventure players are willing to listen to instructions, it is easy to earn a few contribution points in the early stage.
The goal of adventure-style players is to make their bodies stronger. After they improve their physical fitness, they will go to the "NPCs" in the Moli Army to learn archery and riding skills.
Opposite to the adventure stream are players in the life stream.
This type of player does not like to fight and kill, and has little interest in traditional role-playing games. There are many types of life-stream players.
For a storyteller like Cui Tao, the goal of playing games is to advance the plot and discover the hidden plots hidden behind the game.
There are also business players like Sun Jianguo. They play the game as a business simulation game, and their goal is to make more money in the game.
There are also people like Cui Ruoyun and Jian Xia who play the game as an invention simulation game. Their goal is to reproduce various technologies on Blue Star in the game.
In addition to these mainstream life-stream players, there are also players who are keen on building houses and play Datang Fengyun as a construction game.
There are also players who simply like the scenery in the game and wander around Guazhou every day, treating the game as a travel companion simulator.
There are even players like Zhou Hao who like to solve cases in the game and play Datang Fengyun as a detective game.
Li Yan is also quite tolerant of these life stream players who have their own interests. As long as they can go online stably, he will issue different tasks according to their hobbies.
However, this time during the Great Survey, Li Yan gave out a large number of contribution points as rewards, because the purpose of counting the land in Guazhou this time was to obtain a stable rear area.
In addition to the players, Li Yan also called the captain of the Moli Military Academy, Xue Cheng, to the camp.
Through this period of wooing, all the five hundred sergeants of Moli Army became Li Yan's loyal friends.
Xue Cheng was always an honest and honest brigade commander, and he was considered a middle- and lower-level officer of the Moli Army.
Now the former captain of the Moli Army and his elite troops have been wiped out, and the remaining old, weak, women and children have no support.
Li Yan supplemented the pensions for the soldiers who died in the Moli Army, and promoted a group of children from poor families from the Moli Army to serve as officers.
Now the whole Moli Army is firmly under the control of Xue Cheng.
"Your Highness, everyone is here." Cui Tao reported to Li Yan.
Li Yan nodded. Those attending the meeting this time were all the elite players that Li Yan relied on most.
"What do you have to say about this great review?" Li Yan sat on the main seat and asked, looking around.
To these players, Li Yan would not act like a king.
Cui Tao immediately stood up and said: "Your Highness, Dasuo Maungyue's training has ended. There are not many acres and acreage in Guazhou. The inventory can be completed in half a month at most."
Li Yan nodded, and Cui Tao added: "It has never been difficult to conquer the city. The most important thing is to control these powerful families in the city. It would be bad if they jump over the wall in a hurry."
Li Yan nodded repeatedly. Cui Tao was right. The difficulty of Dasuo Maungyue has never been to count the land and population.
When players come to search for information, they will definitely not collude with the local powerful families, and they can count the lands occupied by these powerful families and the hidden caves.
But just like this, it is not an easy task for these wealthy families to make up for the rent arrears in an honest manner.
Cui Tao continued: "According to the information from our insider, the three largest families in the city, An, Yang, and Wu, are all big families with hundreds of clan members and hundreds of servants."
"The An family has the largest population, and An Changgui secretly trains private soldiers in the manor outside the city."
"The Wu family is from a military family. I heard that the Wu family still organizes family members to practice during the slack time."
"In addition, these three wealthy families have also weaved a huge network of relationships through methods such as selling and marrying."
"Every department in the governor's office has their people, and the government officials in the governor's office obey their orders."
Li Yan heard it. Cui Tao's meaning was very simple, which was to prevent these rich and powerful people from jumping over the wall and overturning the table.
Li Yan nodded and said: "Martial arts are prevalent in our Tang Dynasty, and the Longyou clan has a tradition of privately keeping warriors, but we have to guard against it."
Cui Tao continued: "In addition to the safety of the county prince himself, we must also protect the safety of the governor's office. If the officials of the Anyang Wu family for generations were controlled by them and forged the governor's office to issue arbitrary orders, it would also be harmful to them.
The prince is in trouble!"
Li Yan nodded. These were routine operations for rebellion. He nodded and said, "Captain Xue, lead a team of troops to personally protect Governor Zhang and his family."
Zhou Hao, who had returned from An Changgui's night banquet, said directly: "Your Highness, why don't you just deduct these clan leaders after the meeting tomorrow?"
