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

Chapter 74: The Shock of Tan Palace

Early in the morning, Li Yuanji woke up early, stretched, and looked at the system panel. The task for today was fifty squats. Li Yuanji said it was not difficult at all.

After washing up, he completed fifty squats in one breath, which was very easy. Looking at the panel again, he saw that the task had been completed and the contribution points had reached ten points. Li Yuanji was immediately satisfied.

"It's another day full of energy."

Then he started running again. After one lap, more than an hour had passed. Looking at his increasingly strong body, Li Yuanji was even more satisfied.

After dinner, Li Yuanji was about to go out when Xie Shufang came.

"Shufang, what's wrong with you? You're usually not seen here, or you come here frequently. What happened?"

Xie Shufang came to Li Yuanji's table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to either. Why don't you arrange for someone to be by your side? I am really tired of running back and forth."

Li Yuanji was stunned, then he was happy. Now Xie Shufang not only had to do things, but was also his personal bodyguard. The work he did was equivalent to that of Feng Li under Li Jiancheng and Yuchi Gong under Li Shimin. Now Xie Shufang was doing several jobs at the same time.

Looking at the tired Xie Shufang, Li Yuanji felt embarrassed.

"How about this, call Minghe over, and let Minghe do these things from now on, is that okay?"

Xie Shufang was immediately excited.

"Your Majesty, this is fine, absolutely fine. Now that things are on track, there is no need for Minghe to keep an eye on them. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send Minghe over when I go downstairs.

By the way, my king, a message from Tan Dian has arrived. He will be here in about an hour. Also, this is the list of supplies prepared by Tan Dian. I heard from the people who came that there are thirty carts full of supplies.

We should have set out a long time ago, but because we had a lot of stuff to carry and the road was difficult to travel, we are only here now."

Li Yuanji took the list from Xie Shufang with a smile. Now the person he was waiting for had finally arrived.

Later, he got to know Tan Dian a little better. Combined with his previous understanding, Li Yuanji knew that this was a man who was very aware of the times and at the same time very calculative.

Chen Longshu occupied several of his counties and applied to the court to establish Nanfuzhou. Tan Dian then united with Luodou Cave and other caves in Nanfuzhou to provoke resistance and drove Chen Longshu directly to Longzhou.

What Chen Longshu said to him yesterday was, in a deeper sense, a blow to Tan Dian, not just a tease.

Now he is very powerful in Lingnan, and this man is loyal to him. As for the imperial court, few people here take it seriously because it is too far away, while he, Li Yuanji, is very close.

After opening the list, Li Yuanji was shocked by Tan Dian's handwriting. Tan Dian was different from the Feng, Chen, Ning and other families. Tan Dian's foundation was not as profound as those families, but what he was given now was not less at all.

There was no money, but it was all food, and the most important iron, and some other materials and raw materials, especially the registers and rosters of the people under Tan Dian's jurisdiction. Li Yuanji was really confused for a moment. What on earth was Tan Dian trying to do? He was so decisive and straightforward. When he first came to Lingnan, this man rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, but now he seemed to be giving all his wealth to him. Li Yuanji really didn't understand what Tan Dian was trying to do.

Then Li Yuanji didn't think about it anymore. Anyway, since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. He would definitely accept the things, since he was poor now. As for the purpose of the discussion in the palace, he couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it. He would know it naturally when the time came.

Even though some places are dancing happily now, in Li Yuanji's eyes, some people don't have much time left to continue dancing. He doesn't care now because he wants to develop. The materials he brought cannot support him to develop in many places at the same time, because development means he has to invest, but he didn't. But this doesn't mean he won't care later.

After putting away the list of supplies, he looked at Xie Shufang with a smile.

"This Tan Dian is quite good. Okay, I get it. When he arrives, let Minghe pick him up. Forget it, you let Minghe come over, and I will pick him up myself then."

Thinking of Tan Dian's influence on the chieftain of the Liaoren Cave in Lingnan, Li Yuanji still felt that he should go to meet him in person. In Lingnan, there were more Liaoren people than Han people, that is, more than the people who were registered as residents, by an unknown number.

The population of Lingnan is sparse because most people are not registered in the household registration system. The imperial court and outsiders only recognize those who are registered in the household registration system. Although the total number is not large, it is not too small, right?
After hearing this, Xie Shufang drank another glass of water and then hurried out. Li Yuanji laughed when he saw him.

Half an hour later, Yu Minghe came to Li Yuanji, and two incense sticks of time passed before Li Yuanji left the palace.

Tan Dian had already arrived outside Haikang City. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Haikang City, Tan Dian was stunned for a moment.

He had been to this place before. At that time, not to mention the city walls, the houses in the city were all dilapidated, dirty and messy. But now, there are new houses and the roads are paved with tiles. It looks extremely clean without any odor.

Especially the people coming and going, no matter they are Koreans or Han people, although they are doing heavy work, everyone has a smile on their face and talks to each other from time to time. The children are also helping the adults with the work and are very happy.

Tan Dian knew that Li Yuanji was making progress, but he really didn't expect that the changes in Haikang would be so great. He had never seen such a strange and harmonious scene in Lingnan, but he saw it now.

Walking towards the city and seeing people helping each other, Tan Dian felt unfamiliar for a moment. Was he really in Lingnan?
Tan Dian's eyes were full of shock. Here, the relationship between the Liao people and the Han people was very delicate. Often, wars would arise because of some arable land, wild vegetables, prey, or some small tools. The two sides looked down on each other and conflicts were commonplace.

Tan Dian continued walking forward. After a while, he saw several people walking towards him. After seeing clearly, Tan Dian ran forward quickly.

"I, your humble servant, am here to see the king."

The person who came was Li Yuanji. He had met Tan Dian before, so he ran over.

Li Yuanji helped Tan Dian up.

"Hurry up, we said goodbye in a hurry last time, and I thought it would take a long time for us to see each other again. I never thought you would come. The road is difficult, and I am sorry for your hard work.

I have received your list of supplies. You have been thoughtful this time. You have also seen that as this place develops, several other places will also start to develop one after another, but supplies are scarce. You have solved my urgent need.

I heard that you have been to Haikang before, what do you think of it now? "
