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

Chapter 76 If You Don’t Believe Me, Then Kill Me
Li Yuanji's life returned to peace again. As everything in Haikang began to get back on track, Li Yuanji also had time to start building his own palace. After all, he was a prince after all, and it would be unacceptable for him to not have a decent place to live.

However, building a palace still requires blueprints. Now that he has reserved a place to build the palace, the question is what it should look like.

When it came to architectural design, Li Yuanji was suddenly at a loss. None of the craftsmen he brought knew how to do it. After all, the royal palace was a bit large, although not as large as the imperial palace. How to design it became a headache.

In the end, Li Yuanji had no choice but to turn his attention to the exchange column and soon found a blueprint. Li Yuanji was very satisfied. However, when he looked at the price, he found that it could be exchanged for one hundred contribution points.

Li Yuanji completely lost interest in the idea. He couldn't take out the contribution points for the time being. Li Yuanji finally understood why those top designers were often so ridiculously expensive. Although expensive, they were really good.

Afterwards, Li Yuanji had no choice but to have his people start building several attics here according to the structure of the Prince of Qi's Palace.

Just when Li Yuanji was busy, Ning Chun and Xie Shufang came over together.

When Li Yuanji saw these two people, he had a bad feeling in his heart. If there was nothing wrong, these two people would not have come.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji waved his hand and said directly: "Okay, what's the matter with you guys? Tell me first, is it good news or bad news?"

Li Yuanji looked at the two of them. He just wanted to know the good news.

"Good news/bad news, my lord."

Xie Shufang and Ning Chun spoke at the same time, which really gave Li Yuanji a headache. Fortunately, there was another good news, so he turned his gaze to Xie Shufang.

"What's the good news? Can you tell me first?"

Xie Shufang said immediately: "Your Majesty, Junmai has sent a message that he will arrive in ten days, and the princess and the others will arrive here in ten days!"

After hearing this, Li Yuanji immediately became happy.

"Shu Fang, are you serious? They will arrive in ten days after Xi Jun buys them?"

It’s no wonder that Li Yuanji was excited. He had waited for such a long time, and now the time has finally come. If he had waited any longer, he would have become a sage in the future.

In the team behind Xi Junmai were most of his family members and most of the supplies. The team was the largest and had the most soldiers. There were originally 15,000 soldiers at Xi Junmai's place. When Yuwen Bao came, he left another 3,000 soldiers at Xi Junmai's place.

This is why he has no worries about the rear. He is attracting firepower in the front. Moreover, even if someone dares to cause trouble for Xi Junmai, 8,000 of the 18,000 troops can be deployed into the battle at any time.

Xie Shufang was also very excited, and his family was following behind, along with Yang Qingwan.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. This is the news from Xi Junmai. It will arrive in ten days!"

Li Yuanji couldn't hold back his laughter any longer, and spoke only after a while.

"Okay, go down now and prepare the house. Although most people's houses are already prepared, you need to check them carefully. I'll leave this matter to you."

Xie Shufang went down happily. Li Yuanji also laughed when he saw him. Then he looked at Ning Chun. Li Yuanji stopped laughing instantly because Ning Chun had bad news to tell him.

"Dahe, what exactly is the bad news? Tell me."

Li Yuanji calmed himself down and listened attentively. Ning Chun's voice soon came.

"My king, the canal we built was destroyed by the Tiao people, and some of the crops in the farmland were also stolen by the Tiao people. It was all done by the cave chieftains around the canal and farmland. Yang Shu went to negotiate with them, but failed. The Tiao people remained unmoved. They said that we dug the canal and reclaimed wasteland, infringing on their territory, and asked us to stop immediately.

These five chieftains have more than 1,300 people in total. This is a serious matter and I dare not make a decision on my own. I have come to consult the king."

Li Yuanji soon became gloomy after listening to Ning Chun's words. He had seen the planning of the canal. It was all barren mountains and wilderness. It could be said that they were opened up with great effort. As for reclaiming wasteland, it was all wasteland. These people used this as an excuse. It was obvious that they wanted to reap the benefits after seeing that he had developed the land.

It was impossible for Li Yuanji to say that he was not angry. The entire Lingnan belonged to him, and now these people were telling him that this was their territory?
Five cave chiefs are just five villages, but even so, Li Yuanji finally suppressed his anger and looked at Ning Chun.

"What do you think should be done about this?"

Ning Chun pondered for a moment, then said: "My king, now we are focusing on development, we can try to recruit them first. Now there are many cave chiefs who have joined, we can ask them to persuade them, if there are those who are willing to join, we will register them as residents.

If you still act as you wish, I suggest you execute him!"

Ning Chun was not a good person either. As the governor of Leizhou, he was also in charge of Lianzhou. In Lingnan, all the good people had died long ago.

Listening to what Ning Chun said, Li Yuanji also laughed.

"Then go and arrange it. Go now. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. We can't let them hold up our development."

Ning Chun retreated immediately, and Li Yuanji waited quietly in the room until more than two hours passed, when Ning Chun and Yang Shu hurriedly arrived.

"See you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuanji did not look at them and continued lying on the chair.

"Just tell me what the result is."

Ning Chun and Yang Shu looked at each other, and Yang Shu spoke immediately.

“Your Majesty, I have sent many people to persuade them. I also told them about Haikang’s current development and asked them to send people to take a look first. But in the end, only more than 300 of the five cave chiefs chose to believe and were willing to register, but those chiefs did not agree.

Finally, I led the army and those chiefs were forced to release those who were willing to register as residents. Those people looked at us with anger in their eyes.

I did not do anything to the others and returned.”

After Yang Shu finished speaking, Ning Chun also spoke.

"I have tried to persuade them, but they are unwilling to believe it. I also told them to give them some of the cultivated land we have reclaimed. If they believe me, they will be registered as residents."

After he finished speaking, after a while, Li Yuanji slowly stood up and looked outside.

Li Yuanji was very calm in his heart. He was not as angry as one might imagine. He also had nothing to say. It was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. He had done everything he could.

If these flirtatious people didn't cause trouble, he could just turn a blind eye and he would slowly allow them to become naturalized citizens. But now, they are actually setting their sights on him. He really doesn't know what's good for him.

"Since you don't believe me, just kill me."
