The night is dark and the snow is falling.

Since there had been a heavy snowfall a few days ago, it was impossible to melt the severe cold, so the ground was more than a foot thick. Gu Tianya and Li Jiancheng walked one foot deeper and the other shallowly.

"Brother-in-law..."

Suddenly Li Jiancheng shouted and asked: "Do you want to reward the legitimate son of the Hu family in Jingyang?"

At this time, Gu Tianya's head was covered with snowflakes. After hearing this, he shook his hat to shake off the snow, and then said: "I will definitely reward him, but I won't give him a big reward. Some things, too much is not enough..."

"

Li Jiancheng was startled for a moment, and then he nodded as if thinking deeply: "I understand, you can't set too many examples. Previously, in order to stimulate the world's aristocratic families to participate in the construction of Youyun Land, you have already set up a model as their example.

It is said that Cui Haoran of the Qinghe Cui Clan is now at the sixth level, and the points you awarded him back then allowed him to shine among the Cui Clan."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "But there is an old saying since ancient times, which is that rare things are valuable, and the same is true for people. You can't set too many examples, otherwise everyone will shine, and then it will not be a big show.

It’s brilliant.”

Gu Tianya smiled and nodded as well: "This is one of the reasons. You really can't set too many examples. For example, in the direction of the Aristocratic Family, I only created Cui Haoran, so I directly rewarded him with two thousand points.

Let him become a role model for all the young officials of the aristocratic families. But apart from that, there is no one else that I don’t like..."

Gu Tianya paused while speaking, sighed and added: "For example, when the first batch of Han slaves returned, a clerk actually took in a village girl from my childhood. At that time, all the clerks thought I was

I would reward him heavily, but I pretended not to know about it from beginning to end. Even with my village sister, I just went to see her secretly, but on the surface, I never showed too much

Brother, you might as well take a guess, little brother, why did I do this on purpose?"

Li Jiancheng slowly looked up at the sky and murmured: "What's there to guess? It's just that your points can't be given away freely? Points seem to be illusory, but you have given them the ability to exchange for treasures, and

In order to ensure this effect, you must insist on redeeming what you have earned? But how much wealth do you have in your hands? How can you withstand the aristocratic families all over the world constantly asking you to redeem?

After saying that, he turned back to look at Gu Tianya and said softly: "If the big brother's guess is correct, I'm afraid even you have to abide by this point redemption system. I actually have a vague feeling? This point redemption thing does not come from

You? But, but..."

"But what?" Gu Tianya asked with a smile.

Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, and finally gave his guess: "It's from the fairy world? From another world? Right? Brother-in-law, you don't have to pretend to be like this? There's no point in pretending to be stupid with your eldest brother. Maybe you

Don’t you know yet? My eldest brother met your father when he was young. He was an immortal from heaven who came to earth and brought down many treasures. At that time, I heard my father say that your father also had a man in the Sui Palace.

A small-scale points system, but unfortunately your father’s personality is too radical, and he has never been willing to negotiate peace with the aristocratic family? So..."

"That's why you jumped, right?" Gu Tianya laughed again.

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, then looked up at the heavy snow in the sky, and said slowly: "Brother, you guessed it right? I really can't control the points, and I really need to abide by the points exchange system. For example, I want to

To redeem a drug, I also have to pay corresponding points, but this is not the whole reason why I am stingy about rewarding people, the more important reason is that I cannot reward them lavishly."

This time Li Jiancheng was finally stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why is this?"

Gu Tianya looked into the distance, and after a long while he said with a solemn expression: "For example, if the clerk who took over my village sister was generously rewarded, then other people would involuntarily focus on it.

They will have the illusion of taking shortcuts, thinking that as long as they do something related to me, they can make huge profits, but brother, this is not our original intention..."

Li Jiancheng suddenly alerted, nodded and said: "Our original plan was to drive the family with profit. You use points as rewards, and they spend manpower and material resources to earn rewards. This is because your land of Youyun is too poor.

It can develop only by attracting the support of countless aristocratic families. But if we ourselves break the rules of points, then our original plan will be unattractive."

Gu Tianya exhaled a long stream of white air and said: "This is exactly the truth."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "As for your other question just now, brother, you asked me why I refused to reward the legitimate son of the Hu family in Jingyang. This is another reason. Brother, you might as well guess another one.

Guess."

Unexpectedly, Li Jiancheng suddenly glared at him and cursed with a smile: "Guessing again and again, endlessly, brother, I don't want to guess anymore, you brat, you are not allowed to play tricks anymore. Otherwise, believe it or not, brother, I will slap you with a big ear."

"

Gu Tianya laughed loudly and said: "You are my eldest brother, you are qualified to whip me, okay, okay, I will tell you the answer directly."

As he spoke, he coughed slightly and said: "Tonight we went to Han Dashi's family and heard about the style of the legitimate son from the family. To be fair, he did his job very hard, but it was not good enough. Also.

Just because he's not good enough, I can't reward him lavishly."

Li Jiancheng remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

Gu Tianya added: "The family where this legitimate son comes from is a small clan that has just entered the mainstream, so the support he can get cannot be compared with the children of the big clans. Therefore, after he comes to Youzhou, he will not be able to compete with others for interests.

The people he took in were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and this also made it difficult for his group to develop. Those old and weak women and children could not do the work, so they all depended on him for food and drink. But how long can he hold on? One day

I can’t stand it.”

After Li Jiancheng heard this, he actually vaguely understood Gu Tianya's thoughts, but the former prince of the Tang Dynasty still remained silent and continued to wait for Gu Tianya to explain.

Sure enough, Gu Tianya said again: "There will definitely be more and more heirs of small clans coming to Youzhou like him as time goes by. And as the people continue to migrate to Youyun Land, the situation like Han Dashi's family will definitely happen.

There will be more and more people. So, do these people live on relief? No, we are going the wrong way."
