Datang: What's wrong with my fief being a billion points larger?

Chapter 158: Personnel selection, a scene between Wei Ting and Xue Wanche, a new high in contribution points
Li Yuanji was full of excitement at this moment. The more he thought about this plan, the more excited he became. Listening to Cen Wenben's words, Li Yuanji immediately began to mark on the map.

"You see, Lingnan was divided into five prefectures, with Guizhou (now Guixian, not the current Guizhou) as the center point. The area north of Guizhou was divided into Liuzhou Prefecture and managed by Liuzhou Prefecture, and the area south of Guixian was managed by Leizhou Prefecture.

As for the east and west directions, the area west of Chengzhou was managed by Jiaozhou Prefecture, and the area east of Chengzhou was under the jurisdiction of Liuzhou Prefecture. In Luzhou, the area west of Luzhou was under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou Prefecture, and the area east of Luzhou was under the jurisdiction of Leizhou Prefecture.

The same goes for Kangzhou. The west of it belongs to Liuzhou Prefecture, and the east of it belongs to Guangzhou Prefecture. The west of Enzhou belongs to Leizhou Prefecture, and the east of Enzhou belongs to Guangzhou Prefecture.

As for Yazhou, Danzhou, Zhenzhou and Wan'anzhou, they were grouped together and renamed Nanzhou Prefecture, which managed them together. The Nanzhou Prefecture government office was placed in Yazhou, and development was carried out with Yazhou as the center.

Once the planning is completed, the situation of the five prefectures in Lingnan will be completely formed.”

As Li Yuanji spoke, Cen Wenben kept looking for these places on the map, and after a while he slowly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have no objection to this division, but should we explain to the Saint how we divide the five prefectures here? Otherwise, the Saint may blame us later, which may be disadvantageous to Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji immediately began to ponder. In fact, he didn't really want to tell Li Yuan about this. The Tang Dynasty's control over Lingnan was already very weak, and now Lingnan was his fiefdom. In his eyes, there was no need to tell others what he did, not even Li Yuan. Especially after he read Li Yuan's secret decree, he no longer had this idea.

But after thinking for a moment, Li Yuanji agreed. Anyway, Li Yuan would not be able to control this matter, and would definitely agree. Even if Li Yuan disagreed, he would not listen. It was done anyway. Now he was fearless. Who asked Li Yuan to use him to maintain the balance between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin?

"Okay, let's do as you say. Jingren, you draft the memorial and present it to the Saint later.

Well, this matter has been settled, so now let's think about who will be responsible for these five prefectures? Now you all know that the development of these five prefectures is crucial and will determine the future of Lingnan. They will be the absolute center of development.

Dahe, tell me, who should go?"

Li Yuanji did not ask Cen Wenben this question, because Cen Wenben was not familiar with the people here. He asked Ning Chun because he already had an idea in his mind and wanted to hear other things.

Ning Chun immediately fell into deep thought. According to the current plan, he knew very well that these five prefectures had very heavy burdens on their shoulders, which were directly related to the development of the entire Lingnan. Now only Leizhou Prefecture could be ignored, as Cen Wenben was there, and Wang Xuance should be returning soon. He also knew what Li Yuanji was thinking.

After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke under the gaze of Li Yuanji and Cen Wenben.

"Your Majesty, it would be best if Xuan Ce was in charge of Leizhou Prefecture, and Feng Zhixun would be in charge of Nanzhou Prefecture. He is currently in charge of the development of Yazhou and Danzhou, and he is most familiar with them. He also has a foundation and will definitely be able to do a good job.

As for Liuzhou Prefecture, I suggest that Ning Changrong be put in charge. Ning Changrong is already in charge of the development of Guizhou, Xiangzhou, Rongzhou, Liuzhou and other places. He also has experience and foundation.

As for Jiaozhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture, I recommend myself and Wei Ye to be responsible for their development. I have learned a lot here. Both Jiaozhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture are more significant than Liuzhou Prefecture and Nanzhou Prefecture. I believe in myself.

As for Wei Ye, now that he has the foundation for governing the five states and his own extraordinary talents, there will certainly be no problem.

Jingren is by the king's side, responsible for the overall situation. With Jingren's talent, he will definitely be able to handle the task."

After Ning Chun finished speaking, Li Yuanji was silent for a while. In fact, what he had thought in his heart was almost the same arrangement, but he still felt a little guilty towards Ning Chun. If he had arranged Ning Chun to do this in the beginning, he must have valued Ning Chun.

But now, although she still values ​​him, after all, the importance of the Five Prefectures has been made very clear, but she has to stay away from him after all. Since he came here, Ning Chun’s importance is self-evident, and she still fully supports him and chose to follow him at the first opportunity.

Letting Ning Chun out now seemed to be a bit far away from him as the center, and it was like throwing Ning Chun out directly after using him.

After doing this, he really felt a little indebted to Ning Chun. It could be said that Ning Chun had given him more help than Wang Xuance, and he was the one who had given him the most.

Cen Wenben did not say anything. He was not familiar with these things and did not know everyone about the personnel arrangements. There was no need for him to interrupt.

Ning Chun looked at the hesitant and conflicted Li Yuanji, and suddenly smiled.

"Your Majesty, please let me go to Guangzhou Prefecture. Guangzhou Prefecture is of great significance. After General Liu Rengui conquers Ryukyu, he will be responsible for the development of Ryukyu. I have learned a lot from your side and I can say that I have a lot of experience in development.

I have the confidence to develop Guangzhou Prefecture. Nowadays, a prefecture has great power and is responsible for such a wide area. I have been with the king for so long, so I must have made some contributions. The king cannot stop me from going. "

After Ning Chun's words, the atmosphere suddenly became much more cheerful, and Li Yuanji also smiled helplessly.

"Dahe, what are you talking about? How can I be worried about asking you to go to Guangzhou Prefecture to preside over the affairs? Since you said so, then let's arrange it this way and do it according to what you said.

After you go to Guangzhou Prefecture, if you need anything, just write to me and I will definitely support you. Anyway, I will leave all the matters of Guangzhou Prefecture to you. I feel relieved when you are here!"

Ning Chun made the decision himself, and Li Yuanji did not hesitate at all. The matter was settled immediately, and a new era for Lingnan was about to begin.

The three chatted for a while. It was already late at night, so Li Yuanji arranged for the two to sleep in the palace for the night.

While Li Yuanji and Cen Wenben were chatting excitedly, Wei Ting and Xue Wanche were also discussing something. The drunk Xue Wanche still looked a little bad, but he was not at all like he had fainted in the palace.

"Zhengping, the wine your majesty has is really strong. I really can't handle it. If I had known, I wouldn't have drunk it so hastily. But how was my performance? Did I not give myself away?"

Xue Wanche looked very happy, and Wei Ting smiled helplessly after hearing that.

"Wan Che, I just asked you to perform appropriately and stay here for a while. Look at what you have done. You have agreed to so many conditions from Shu Fang. When can you set off to return to Chang'an?

You still have the nerve to ask, I have nothing to say."

Although Wei Ting was Liu Jiancheng's aide and Li Jiancheng also used Wei Ting as a civil official, Wei Ting was a genuine military general and naturally did not speak like a civil official.

And this time, the bet between Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang was just a play performed by Xue Wanche. His purpose was to stay here longer. After all, if he just stayed here, it would inevitably arouse people's suspicion. With this excuse, it would be more natural.

This was also decided by Wei Ting and Xue Wanche when they were in the rice fields, because the changes here were so great that both of them wanted to figure it out. The most important thing was Li Yuanji's army and how strong it was now. These were all things that had to be figured out, and they were also what Li Jiancheng was concerned about.

This is how Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang drank and bet. Xue Wanche could directly enter the army and understand the situation of Li Yuanji's army. For Xue Wanche, he really wanted to find out the situation of Li Yuanji's army so that he could report it to Li Jiancheng, but at the same time, he also wanted to know. If it was not good, he did have the idea of ​​helping Li Yuanji to train the army well.

Although Xie Shufang is capable, he is still slightly lacking in practical combat compared to Xue Wanche.

Hearing Wei Ting's words, Xue Wanche felt embarrassed but still remained stubborn.

"Zhengping, don't worry about these things. Just tell me whether the goal has been achieved. As long as the goal is achieved, that's enough."

Wei Ting was also helpless and stopped talking about it.

"Okay, now that we can stay here legitimately, we have to do our job well. We will go first now. Chang Sun Wuji is still behind. Although we don't know if he can come alive, we still have to prepare in advance.

We just need to know the reason why the King of Qi hates Zhangsun Wuji, but we must never tell it out loud. Now that the King of Qin asked this person to come, it must be to ease the relationship with the King of Qi. We can't let the King of Qin succeed.

He also sent Cheng Yaojin along, ostensibly as a guard, but as I expected, he was actually there to find out the King of Qi's strength, and he would definitely inquire about the situation in the army.

You'd better be careful at that time. Anyway, you have to make Cheng Yaojin feel that the King of Qi is very powerful. His army is not only large but also powerful, so that the King of Qin will be afraid of him.

Now that the King of Qin is weak, and the King of Qi is even more disadvantageous to him, he must act in a hurry. Once he is in a hurry, it is easy for him to reveal a fatal flaw. As long as he reveals a fatal flaw, the position of the crown prince will be completely safe!"

Li Yuanji did not know that the fight between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had continued to this point, otherwise he would definitely have to demand compensation from both of them.

After Wei Ting finished speaking, Xue Wanche nodded in agreement and then asked Wei Ting again.

"So when are we going back? We can't stay here forever, right?"

Wei Ting thought for a moment before speaking.

"I can't confirm the time of my return yet, but I will definitely be behind Zhangsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin. I'll tell you in advance when I'm going back.

This trip to Lingnan has really broadened our horizons. We never thought that there are so many magical objects in this world. The King of Qi is really a hidden talent. Who could have thought of this in Chang'an?
There is also Cen Wenben sent by the saint. We must also pay attention to this person. If my guess is correct, Cen Wenben will definitely follow the King of Qi. When Cen Wenben returns to Chang'an, we must explain this situation to the prince.

There is also Wu Shigui, who is the confidant of the saint. He comes here now to represent the saint. When he returns this time, the saint will definitely value the King of Qi even more.

We must also work hard to mend the relationship between the Crown Prince and the King of Qi. We must not let the King of Qi and the King of Qin be together, and we must not let the King of Qi return to Chang'an. The King of Qi today is no longer the same King of Qi as before.

Now that the King of Qi has returned to Chang'an, he is also someone who has the strength to compete for that position."

Wei Ting was really sighing. He had thought that Li Yuanji had asked for exile and did not want to participate in the struggle in Chang'an. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanji found another way and made a breakthrough here.

Once Li Yuanji returns to Chang'an, with his achievements, subordinates, and a number of inventions, he will have both reputation and connections, and his strength will be greatly increased. He will be a complete replica of Li Shimin, and he is very worried.

Wei Ting is a typical example. He was afraid that Li Yuanji was too weak to help Li Jiancheng, but he was also afraid that Li Yuanji was too strong and would become the next Li Shimin.

The two discussed for a long time before going back to rest as they were really tired.

The next morning, Ning Chun took Cen Wenben to continue to familiarize themselves with the place. Wei Ting also joined in. Xue Wanche went directly to find Xie Shufang to start fulfilling his bet.

After Li Yuanji woke up and completed his daily tasks, he was stopped by Yang Qingwan.

"Husband, the saint sent an angel, but what's the matter?"

Yang Qingwan was full of worries. Now that the situation here had finally improved, she didn't want Li Yuan to take advantage of her.

Li Yuanji saw Yang Qingwan's worry and immediately tried to comfort her.

"Don't think too much. The old man sent Cen Wenben because he found out that we were doing business in Hangzhou and Suzhou. He was very upset. He thought that the things I asked Wang Xuance to bring were too few, so he came to rob me.

In addition, he kept Cen Wenben and Wu Shigui, saying that they owed me. After all, they had allowed me to come to Lingnan, so this was a compensation for me.

There is nothing else to worry about. Don’t think too much about it. Just treat it as usual.”

Li Yuanji didn't say too much. He just roughly told Yang Qingwan not to worry. After all, there was no point in telling Yang Qingwan those things. Instead, it would only make Yang Qingwan more worried.

Yang Qingwan knew very well that Li Yuanji was trying to comfort her and hadn't told her the whole story. But as long as everything was fine, she didn't want to know anything else.

The two of them stayed together for a while, and then Yang Qingwan went out. The population here was increasing every day, and Yang Qingwan also had to prepare clothes for the next trade, plus raise silkworms. Although there was not much to do, Yang Qingwan had already developed the habit of going there every day.

Li Yuanji lay in the chair for a while, and suddenly found that his task had been completed, and his contribution points now directly reached 2,270.

Li Yuanji looked at the new task happily: Haikang's population reaches 300,000, and 2,000 contribution points will be rewarded.

Looking at this task, Li Yuanji's eyes widened suddenly. This was the first time he encountered a task with more than 1,500 points. The most points he had ever received in the past were only 1,500 points. This gave him an illusion that 1,500 points was the highest contribution points a task could give.

As a result, a task with 2,000 points appeared now. How could Li Yuanji not be happy? After thinking for a moment, he understood that the more difficult the task, the higher the contribution points. There would definitely be more difficult tasks in the future, with contribution points reaching several thousand.

Li Yuanji was looking forward to it very much. He was not afraid of the difficulty of the task, but he was afraid of having few contribution points.
