In this era, long-distance travel is quite hard and boring. Fortunately, players are now actively raiding the bandits in Shazhou and Guazhou, and the official roads are quite safe.
Li Yan also responded to the players' slogan of "build roads first if you want to get rich" and prepared to widen the official roads between Guazhou and Shazhou and increase the number of inns along the way.
Li Yan brought the players and the remaining Mo Lijun with him, so safety can be guaranteed.
Along the way, Li Yan began to study player forums, preparing to respond to players' needs and conduct a major upgrade of the "game system".
As the number of players increases, the needs of players have gradually become diversified.
Li Yan browsed the game forum and found that the "Farming Home" section was quite active, and the number of farming party players gradually caught up with the number of adventure stream players.
It's quite normal when you think about it. The battles in Datang Fengyun are very difficult, and the game method of contributing points to upgrade attribute points is too stupid. Naturally, there are many players who are persuaded to quit by the adventure stream.
At this time, the farming stream, which is relatively safe and does not require high attribute points, has gradually become a new choice for players.
This is also a normal phenomenon. Many players are students who have not left campus. It is indeed difficult for them to lead troops to fight.
Li Yan continued to read the forum, and the farming style players were divided into several different categories.
For example, the union with the most members of the farming stream players nowadays is the Public Examination House.
The president of this public examination house is Shang Bo, and the main purpose of the union is to help players enter "within the system."
The centralization of power in the Tang Dynasty was far from reaching the level of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Most of the officials in the governor's office were appointed by the governor.
Nowadays, Shangbo is very developed. Relying on its "good" relationship with Jia Sishun, the governor of Shazhou, Shangbo has successfully recommended several players to enter the governor's mansion of Shazhou and eat public food.
These life stream players experience the feeling of the ancient workplace, which is basically equivalent to playing a Tang Dynasty officialdom simulator.
This is far from farming in the ordinary sense, but players still enjoy it.
And players with professional skills like Zhou Hao can also experience a series of fun such as solving cases in the "game".
However, the most common job played by players is civil engineering, which in this era is called "corvee".
Thanks to the efforts of the construction team of King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty, Guazhou has completed a large number of water conservancy projects and rebuilt many roads.
These civil engineering players even opened a small section under the section called "Great Country Craftsmen". A group of people commented under the section and flooded the forum, which was very lively.
Li Yan admired the spirit of these players to enjoy the hard work, and decided to lower the contribution points obtained by the civil engineering players. Such good beasts and horses must be exploited well.
In addition to such a group of players within the system, there is also a group of life-stream players who love freedom.
Players in this category are more complex and have their own fun in playing games.
For example, technology-savvy players like Cui Ruoyun and Jian Xia are committed to using ancient methods to restore various technologies and spend their time climbing the technology tree in the game.
There are also people like Li Daoyuan who like to travel around to see the scenic spots of the Tang Dynasty.
There are also businessman players like Sun Jianguo who play the game as a simulated reality version of "Monopoly". Their greatest pleasure is making money in the game.
These players have different needs, but they all help Li Yan a lot, and Li Yan also issues exclusive tasks for them.
However, there are still many farming party players who complain that there is no real farming system in the game.
After all, most farming players prefer the farming gameplay of giving a territory and then developing it themselves.
Li Yan is planning to add this function to improve players’ farming needs.
In the system of the Tang Dynasty, one hundred households constituted one li, with a li length. Five li constituted a township, and each township had one "father".
In cities, one hundred households are also divided into a village, and a "fangzheng" is established. In the urban-rural fringe area, it is called a "village".
The chiefs, village chiefs, and village chiefs are all held by ordinary people and can be exempted from certain school duties, so most of the time they are held by wealthy households and powerful men in the village.
Li Yan has set his sights on these positions. One hundred households means four to five hundred people. If a few of these territories are left to the players to manage, it should not cause too much trouble.
When players have a territory, they will definitely find ways to develop it. By appointing players as the grassroots village chiefs, Bomasa and Muramasa, the problem that has existed for thousands of years that governance power cannot be extended to the grassroots can be solved.
The powerful forces controlling the countryside and controlling the grassroots were problems that the ancient dynasties could not solve. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, these grassroots positions were generally given to retired sergeants, so Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Taizong could have a thorough understanding of the people. This was what the early Tang Dynasty still had.
Have the ability to mobilize at the grassroots level.
But in today's era, these positions at the grassroots level have been retained by local wealthy people, and it is difficult to mobilize them whether it is tax collection or military service.
Although Li Yan was successful in Guazhou University, it does not mean that he can control the grassroots.
If left unchecked, it will only take a few years for those powerful people to regain control of the grassroots and restart land annexation.
Players are different. Players really want to develop their territory. For any farming player, they would rather develop their territory well than their own kennel!
They are the ones who truly "serve the people wholeheartedly"! If you have players like this and don't let them work hard, how can they be worthy of the people of Datang!
However, when squeezing players, you must also recover their contribution points.
A 100-point contribution point for a position of director is not much, right? If it is an established position as a square official, it would still cost 200 contribution points.
With only 100 contribution points, you can get a territory of 100 households. Shouldn't the players compete for the top spot?
Soon, all players received a server-wide announcement of the game upgrade.
[Dear beta testers, thank you for your support to the Datang Fengyun game production team, the system will undergo a major update tomorrow!]
[The seniority film "Li Chief of the Tang Dynasty" will be released tomorrow! Players can use their contribution points to purchase the qualification of the Li Chief and assume the most important position at the grassroots level of the Tang Dynasty - the Li Chief! 】
[The village leader can manage a hundred households. Whether it is sowing and farming or developing industry and commerce, everything is left to the player to choose! 】
[Make your territory more prosperous! The game will carry out the theme activity of "I Farm, My Glory", and the development of the territory will be calculated every quarter. The top ten players with the best development will receive massive contribution point rewards! 】
[Friendly reminder, the number of good territories is limited, and the redemption system will be opened after King Jianning arrives in Shazhou. It is first come, first served. If you want to redeem it, hurry up!]
As soon as this announcement came out, all the farming-style players became excited!
The long awaited pure farming system is finally here!
