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

Chapter 193: Breaking through Contribution Points, Li Yuanji is so heartbroken that he wants to give up

Li Shimin in Chang'an was busy stabilizing the political situation, winning over aristocratic families, and consolidating and establishing his own position. However, Li Yuanji in Haikang was still busy with the autumn harvest at this time.

"Jingren, this year's harvest should be very good. Look at these rice plants. They are growing very well. Great."

Li Yuanji was in a very good mood as he looked at the rice in the fields. Now it was time to harvest rice. The rice harvest was over, and next he would harvest corn, sorghum and other crops. There would be more and more food.

It’s a pity that the hybrid rice was exchanged a little late and could not be planted in time, otherwise the harvest this year would be even better.

Cen Wenben was also smiling beside him.

"Your Majesty, overall, the situation is still good. Even in Liuzhou Prefecture, rice planting has been expanded on a large scale this year. It's a pity that in some places such as Gangzhou and Enzhou, there were not only strong winds but also heavy rains. Although the situation was handled in time and no casualties were caused, the grain harvest was affected to some extent.

Except for those individual places, I have read the reports from various prefectures and found that the harvests are all good. This year's grain harvest is expected to be at least ten times more than last year."

Li Yuanji did not respond after hearing this. In his opinion, the ten times mentioned by Cen Wenben was still too conservative. After one year of reclamation, the arable land had increased a lot compared to last year, and this year's corn and sorghum had not been taken into account.

As for being happy, Li Yuanji was indeed happy, but that was all. Although grain production increased, there was a very obvious problem, that was the population was also increasing, and the increase in grain production might not necessarily outpace the population growth.

In this situation, at least hybrid rice must be planted, and with the development of Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture, the grain here will not only be able to meet all the food needs of Lingnan, but there will also be a lot of surplus.

Then Li Yuanji said slowly: "Then let's do our best to harvest. This time we can't be like last year, where we were not fully prepared. After the harvest, we can't stop clearing the land.

I don’t want to talk about this anymore. No matter when, we can’t stop reclaiming wasteland. When the rice harvest is over, we will start harvesting corn. The yield of corn is not bad at all.”

Listening to what Li Yuanji said about corn, Cen Wenben really became interested. The main reason was that he had never heard of corn before. He even went to see it specially, but he couldn't see anything. He had no idea what corn was.

Not only Cen Wenben, but everyone who has seen corn is obviously more looking forward to the harvest of corn than rice, and the same is true for sorghum. It is often the unknown that makes people most curious.

After more than ten days, the rice harvest was finally completed. In addition to the completion of the rice harvest, Li Yuanji looked at his task and saw that it was finally completed. Fifty thousand contribution points were directly credited to his account. Now the contribution points in his hand have reached 51,050 points.

Looking at these contribution points, Li Yuanji suddenly became excited. Now his contribution points are increasing. Every mission has reached tens of thousands of contribution points. This is a good sign.

Then he looked at the new task: Population is the foundation of development. We need to increase Haikang's population to three million. If completed, we will receive 50,000 contribution points. The current population of Haikang is 1.8 million.

Li Yuanji looked at the task and suddenly felt a headache. The contribution points given by this task were indeed enough, but the time required would definitely not be short. It took almost two years to develop to the current population, and this was because of the fastest population growth before.

Because as long as people are naturalized, they will be counted as new population, but what about now?

Although there are still people, they are much less than before. The population can only be increased by migrating in from outside, and it takes a lot of time to migrate in. This is only one of the difficulties. Another is whether the people can be resettled after they arrive, which is even more of a problem.

According to the current expansion of the city and the speed of population migration, it will take at least years to complete this task.

Li Yuanji was wondering whether he should spend fifty contribution points to reset the task, because the cycle of this task was really long, but if he reset the task, Li Yuanji was really afraid of taking on a more time-consuming task.

What he fears most now is this kind of task that requires a lot of time to complete.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji finally made up his mind to reset the task!

Now people are still being relocated to Luzhou Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture. There are not enough people in Lingnan for him to migrate here. He really has no interest in a task that can be accomplished in two or three years.

Then fifty contribution points disappeared, and a new task appeared in front of Li Yuanji again: the population of Leizhou reached five million, and 80,000 contribution points could be obtained for completion. The current population of Leizhou is 2.3 million.

Li Yuanji looked at the task and his mouth twitched. He really wanted to curse now. Although the 80,000 contribution points looked tempting, this task was not as easy to complete as the previous one. The shortfall of 2.7 million was even more difficult.

Li Yuanji rubbed his forehead.

"How careless! How careless! If I had known, I wouldn't have reset the mission. What kind of thing is this?"

Li Yuanji now felt what it meant to reap what one sows. At most, it could be completed in one or two years. But now, he couldn't even think about taking on this new task for another year or two.

Li Yuanji had no choice but to use fifty contribution points to reset the task again. However, as soon as he reset it, Li Yuanji found something wrong. His contribution points were obviously wrong. It was originally 51,050 points, but after using 50 points to reset it, it was 50,955 points.

If it is reset again now, it should have been 50,905 points, but now it has directly become 50,855 points. Obviously, 100 contribution points were deducted from this reset!

Li Yuanji felt a little distressed. One hundred contribution points. How many daily tasks did he have to complete? Five points a day, a full twenty days, to get these one hundred contribution points.

Li Yuanji quickly turned his attention to the new task. He just hoped that this new task would not be so time-consuming. If possible, he would really rather choose the first task.

New task: Open up the roads of Leizhou Prefecture, Guangzhou Prefecture, Liuzhou Prefecture, and Jiaozhou Prefecture to make them interconnected. Completing this task will earn you 100,000 contribution points.

Looking at this new task, Li Yuanji's eyes went dark. He did have to prepare to tackle the road issues in each state, improve trade capabilities, and drive the development of each prefecture, but that was just preparation!
For this task, it has not been completed for more than five years, and it is also transferable? Transferable, what the hell, 100,000 contribution points may be enough, but it is the kind that you can see but cannot get in several years. Is he crazy to choose this kind of task?
Li Yuanji was very sad. He was sad about his contribution points.

"I am so tired. I am really tired. Brother System, you told me that these are the tasks ahead. Why did I reset them? Am I sick?"

Li Yuanji really wanted to cry. Looking at this task, he suddenly felt that the previous task was acceptable, and as for the first task, he could completely accept it. Li Yuanji, who wanted to cry but had no tears, gritted his teeth and reset the task again. If he didn't reset this task, he felt that his system could be shut down directly.

Looking at the contribution points, which had directly increased from 50,855 points to 50,655 points, Li Yuanji finally understood. It turned out that each time the task was reset, 50 points was only the basis, and each subsequent reset would deduct twice the original contribution points.

Last time it was 100 points, this time it was directly 200 points. Li Yuanji wanted to cry. It was just a reset of a task, but he spent 350 contribution points. It was simply a waste of money.

Li Yuanji, unwilling to give up, immediately looked at the new task: as the king of Lingnan, his fiefdom was only Lingnan, which was too small. He would expand his fiefdom and obtain corresponding contribution points according to the expanded scope of the fiefdom.

Li Yuanji looked at this task and his eyes suddenly lit up. All his heartache disappeared. Expanding the fiefdom? This task was good. His fiefdom had expanded a lot. He had even conquered Zhenla. How many contribution points would he get?
But after a moment, a message popped up on the system panel: Expansion of the fiefdom has been detected, do you want to complete the task?

Li Yuanji was stunned. He had to choose whether to continue or complete the mission?
After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji found that his fiefdom could not be expanded for the time being. If he wanted to expand it again, it would take at least a long time. The most important thing now was to secure the contribution points.

When the fiefdom is expanded again later, won't this task be completed then?
At this moment, Li Yuanji suddenly became very interested in expanding his fiefdom. He knew that expanding his fiefdom was also a part of development and that there would be tasks. He was determined to be more ruthless and resolute than before.

"System, I choose to complete it."

Li Yuanji was full of smiles, but the system did not change at all. Li Yuanji was stunned. What was going on?
After looking at it for a while, Li Yuanji realized that he had to click on the button himself. He was speechless.

"What a crappy system, not smart at all, just a panel and a redemption bar, plus an inventory bar, and no voice function. I really don't know what to say to you."

Li Yuanji complained while clicking to complete the task, and then a sentence appeared on the panel again.

"It has been detected that the fiefdom has expanded to Yuezhou Prefecture, Lüzhou Prefecture, Songzhou Prefecture, and Liuzhou Prefecture. You can get 120,000 contribution points."

Li Yuanji, who was originally happy, gradually discovered that something was wrong and finally panicked.

"System, system brother, sir, there is also Zhenla. I have also conquered Zhenla. It is my fiefdom!
There are also the Ju Mang tribe and the Jin Chi tribe, which are the Nanzhao area. I have conquered a lot of those places. They are all my fiefdoms, why are they not included in the count? "

Li Yuanji was really panicked. Even though his contribution points had reached 170,655, he was not happy at all because he felt that his contribution points had been eaten by the system.

Especially for Zhenla, such a large area, at least tens of thousands of contribution points should be added, but this system does not recognize it.

Seeing that the system had no response at all, Li Yuanji was about to get angry after a while, when he saw a line of words suddenly appear on the system panel.

New task: Reclaim 300,000 hectares of wasteland. Completion will earn you 50,000 contribution points.

Li Yuanji was stunned. He thought the system wanted to explain something, but it directly issued a new task. Although the contribution points of this task were relatively small, after all, he had seen tasks of 80,000 and 100,000 contribution points, and even completed a task of 120,000 contribution points.

Fifty thousand contribution points suddenly seemed a little too little to him, but fortunately, the task was not that difficult to complete.

But the point now is not this, the point is his Zhenla! Such a big Zhenla became his fiefdom, why was there no mention of that mission just now? His tens of thousands of contribution points! And the area of ​​Nanzhao, although those places have not been taken down yet, they must have taken down a lot, but there is still no mention of it.

Li Yuanji was very angry, really very angry. He lived frugally to save contribution points. Every time a new task came up, he would complete it as the first priority just for the contribution points. However, he could have earned tens of thousands more contribution points, but they were all gone just like that?

Li Yuanji had been continuously inputting to the system for an unknown period of time, and he was exhausted. Li Yuanji wanted to destroy it very much. Tens of thousands of contribution points, if it were changed to the previous tasks, how many would he have to do and how much time would it take to complete.

If we calculate based on the daily tasks he completes, he probably won't reach tens of thousands of contribution points even if he completes these daily tasks until the end.

His only thought now was for these contribution points, but this crappy system actually ate up his contribution points. How could he not be angry?

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it. I'm tired."

Li Yuanji wanted to give up at this moment. Whenever he thought about the fact that he had not gained any contribution points from such a large territory as Zhenla, Li Yuanji felt heartbroken. This feeling was really too painful.

Although the result was not very good and Li Yuanji was very angry, after he calmed down, he began to think about why Zhenla and some of the conquered Nanzhao areas were not mentioned and did not get any contribution points.

Thinking about the words displayed by the system, Li Yuanji suddenly found the direction.

“The places that have been given contribution points have all been named, Yuezhou Prefecture, Lüzhou Prefecture, Songzhou Prefecture, and Liuzhou Prefecture. I haven’t divided Zhenla into a prefecture yet, and the same is true for Nanzhao.

Could it be that I haven't planned out the prefectures and states yet, so this mission was not mentioned? "

Thinking of this, the more Li Yuanji thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible. Otherwise, why didn't Zhenla, which has such a large territory, increase any contribution points? Even Ryukyu had the Ryukyu Prefecture that was changed to Ryukyu.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanji became even sadder when he confirmed that this was the answer.

"Why didn't you say earlier that we have to name it after conquering it? I could divide Zhenla into several prefectures right now! My contribution points, my heart hurts!"

Li Yuanji covered his chest with his hands. He felt that he had suffered a great loss. Tens of thousands of contribution points were clearly within his reach, but they were gone just like that. He couldn't accept it.

This incident also reminded Li Yuanji that whenever he conquers more territory or expands his fiefdom in the future, he must name it as soon as possible, as these are contribution points!
