Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1105 Preparing for Field Grant Order Monitor

After talking about the costumes of the consul of the territory and the chief officials and administrators of the various ministries of the territory, Xia Duo finally talked about the real purpose of coming to Layton:
"After the spring sowing, I plan to grant land to the people in order to reward them for their hard work for the Great Xia. What do you think?"

"Granting the land?"

Hearing this familiar word, Layton immediately looked serious, and then expressed his opinion: "My lord, is it too early?

"The arable land that has been developed in the current territory is not even self-sufficient. It is better to wait a year or two, and it will not be too late to grant the land when there is enough land."

Regarding what Layton said, Xia Duo just nodded, noncommittal. He had mentioned the issue of granting land to Layton before, and it was actually not a problem at all.

In Netheril, under normal circumstances, after the pioneering lord succeeds in pioneering, he will divide the land for the first batch of followers.

It's just that Xia Duo is not willing to privatize the land, at least not the kind of independent fief that "the wind can enter and the rain can enter and the king cannot enter".

Therefore, he thought of granting the land.

Only the right to use the land is granted to the citizens, but there is no time limit. It can be passed on from generation to generation, and can also be bought and sold. You only need to pay a certain handling fee when the ownership changes.

However, for long-term considerations, these lands will be limited to agricultural use only.

This kind of land granting method has never appeared in Netheril. Xia Duo is not sure whether this will touch any restricted area. For this reason, in addition to discussing with Leiden, he also specifically consulted Bishop Ambrill on this issue.

The result is of course good, and this does not touch any restricted areas.

While discussing with Layton, the two worked out a rough timetable for granting land, at least not starting to implement it until the territory became self-sufficient in food.

But now the time is clearly ahead.

However, Xia Duo also has his own considerations. He went to Severton some time ago, and many things happened. Among them, the one that had the greatest impact on his next plan was not becoming a registered student of Iolum, but——

The Ascension Ceremony Book I got from President Jenna of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce!
Whether he becomes a registered student of Iolum or not, or whether he reads the Nether scroll, may have an impact on his next plan, but at most it can only play a certain role in fine-tuning some existing plans.

The only thing that can really change Xia Duo's plan, or even add a new one, is the Ascension Ritual Book!
The book records in more detail all the steps to achieve the "God of Nobles", which greatly inspired Xia Duo. Although he has no intention of ascension to God, some attempts, or even preparations, can still be done first. .

The two most important parts in the Ascension Ceremony, one is to gain faith and guide the gathering of the original force, and the other is to guide the power of order and build an order cycle.

The former only needs to be famous, which is relatively simple, but Xia Duo still has a bloodline ability to absorb faith, and he will not consider this aspect for the time being.

He mainly considered the power of order, and he found that [the power of order] is really suitable for the lord to use. The territory is a large order system that accommodates various small orders, and the lord is naturally like this [the power of order]. controller.

Such an accomplished god may be called the "God of the xx Territory".

Of course, gods are not so easy to achieve, such as the specific parameters of faith, force, and power of order. The only thing that can be used as a reference is the "noble god" ceremony in the book of ascension to the gods.

Other gods can only be known through trial and error.

Xia Duo has no intention of ascension for the time being, so he doesn't need to think about these things for the time being. What he thinks is that since [The Power of Order] is true, why can't he interfere with reality?

He has a feeling that if he can develop a technology that allows the power of order to directly interfere with reality, it may not be worse than becoming a god.

At the same time, since the power of order is deeply influenced by reality, any changes in the real order will be reflected in the nature of the power of order. If an order cycle can be constructed, changes in the real order can be monitored at all times.

This is simply more useful than the leader's loyalty display. After all, there are too many cases of good intentions doing bad things and doing stupid things.

But in reality, there is actually no loyalty display, which makes the order cycle even more significant!

Even if he didn't consider it for the Ascension Ceremony, Xia Duo would have to try it. This would allow him to grasp the status of the development of the territory in real time, and if something went wrong, he could find out and correct it in time.

Of course, all of this is just a theoretically achievable function speculated by Xia Duo. If there is any, and if so, how effective it will be, you will never know if you don't try it!
And granting the land, or the ceremony of granting the land, is the beginning of Xia Duo guiding the power of order and building the cycle of order!
Of course, the significance of granting land is more than that, such as adjusting the structure of the local people, stimulating the will of the local people to develop, etc., there is no need to say more.

In short, granting land is imperative, and it will be done in the near future.

Xia Duo did not refute Leiden's conservative view. After all, Leiden also proceeded from the actual situation of the territory, but that was the case when Xia Duo had not obtained the Ascension Ritual Book.

So Xia Duo replied:

"I understand what you mean, but this time the granting of land will not be carried out on a large scale. This time I am only going to grant land to the first batch of people who followed me to open up here. in chronological order."

The first batch of new citizens in the Great Xia Territory has less than 100 people. According to the ten new acres of land per person, it only needs 1000 new acres of land, which is completely within the range of land that can be planted in the territory! (New mu refers to 1000 square meters)

Of course, this is almost more than [-]% of the existing plantable land area.

However, the granting of land does not start now. It is already the end of winter, and the land may start to thaw in a few days. At that time, manpower can be organized to continue cleaning and leveling the land.

Moreover, Xia Duo announced his plan for this year last year. For the time being, he will not cut down forests, but concentrate on clearing and leveling the existing land first.

Afterwards, it did not continue to develop southeast, but went north, connecting to Savile Territory.

Xia Duo estimated that by the time the land is awarded for the first time, the land area that can be planted in the territory will probably be doubled compared to the current one!
If the weather gets warmer later, it may be less, but this will not have any impact on the grant of land, anyway, the existing land is already enough.

"When is your lord going to award the land?" Layton asked.

"Tentatively scheduled for next month, the specific date depends on preparations."

Then, Xia Duo issued a new instruction:
"In addition, build a new square to the east of the Elemental Fountain. From the Elemental Fountain in the west to the foot of the Tower of Time in the east, I need to use it to place the code stone pillars. The land granting ceremony will also be held there. In the future, the center of the Great Xia Territory will gradually Move over there."

"East of the Elemental Fountain?"

Layton was taken aback suddenly, isn't that the ruins where the Tower of Time is located?
