After so many years, the people and local gentry of Xi Shu State have become extremely tired and impoverished due to the prolonged war and chaos.
However, as rulers, the Qiang and Zhou people, and even the local governments, have become extremely wealthy as a result of the series of looting and pillaging.
Previously, when capturing Jinguan City, the capital of Xichuan, Lu Yuan had directly confiscated more than 20 million silver taels worth of gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables from the city's government treasury and the inner treasury of the royal palace.
According to the officials in charge of the treasuries, the original amount of wealth stored in these two treasuries was even more, about three to four times what it is now.
