How To: Easy money
Become a prefect in a city that is surrounded by friendlies, and have a city near you that is on a front. It helps if the city on the front is fighting a hopeless battle with one or no reinforcements (for example, against Ma Teng in Scenarios 196 to 210). Learn how to increase your city's gold, either by pillaging or by playing merchants. To play merchants, buy supplies when the numbers are high, sell when they are lower. It is possible to buy for 11 gold, then sell for 7 gold, but not in the same council. Simply accumulate a lot of money and your liege will assign you to support the city on the front. Every time you properly support them, you will be given 500 gold, and 1000 fame and deeds. If you have someone under you with trade skill, use them to buy and sell. Note: It helps if you are next to an enemy city that will be taken over soon; this will cause many riots to lower safety to 0. Pillaging will then always be successful, even if it is under your force.
