Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1137 The New Generation of Commercial Soil Happiness

Nether 837, third day of April.

At this time, the chill of the severe winter has gradually dissipated, and the wind of recovery blows successively from the south of the southern border, quietly awakening this land that has been frozen for several months.

In the early morning of this day, the citizens of the Great Xia Territory set off from their homes early, and marched in groups along the trail on the south bank of the Linshui River towards the Codex Square.

The first batch of land grantees in the territory became the most talked about topic among the leaders along the way.

"I really envy Lille and the others! You can get paid for working in the future!"

"What's the salary? I heard that someone has already started planning to open the first batch of shops in the territory! When the shops open, it's still a lot of money!"

"Really? There is no shop in the territory now. If the first shop appears, it will really make money lying down!"

As soon as they heard the words "you can make money while lying down", the group suddenly let out an envious exclamation. Maybe it was because there was too much movement here, and someone in front of the group suddenly turned their heads and shouted:
"I think too much, even if there is a store, who will buy it? Do you? Do you have money?"

As soon as these words came out, the group of people behind were stunned. After thinking about it carefully, this was really the case. If they had money, they would not come to Daxia to collect it.

Furthermore, food and housing are included in the territory now, if you want to spend money, where can you spend it?
Is it just that those who are assigned to the land open their own shops and consume by themselves?Or will other people also earn wages in the future?
I couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it, but seeing the proud look of the person in front, the group behind couldn't help but spit:
"You're a shameless kid. We all came to the territory before you. This time it's Lille and the others. Maybe it's our turn next time. You should be envious!"

"You—you!"

The person in front was choked and wanted to retaliate, but seven or eight people behind him were all staring at him. This guy immediately stopped making a sound, snorted, and walked eastward at a faster pace.

……

Linshui Village, Lord's Villa, meeting room on the first floor.

Xia Duo and Niya sat in two adjacent seats, and in the center of the meeting room was a real-time image projected by scrying spells.

At this time, Niya suddenly pointed to a person in the image, and asked curiously: "Is the store they said true? Someone really wants to open a store in Daxialing?"

"I don't know, it might be true!" Xia Duo smiled.

What he said is not a lie. The Great Xia Law Code contains complete commercial laws and tax laws. As long as it operates according to the law and pays taxes according to the law, Xia Duo doesn't care who is doing these things!
"However, it doesn't matter if you open a few shops. Now there are nearly [-] people in the territory, and I still rely on me to maintain food and clothing. It is indeed a bit inappropriate. A few more shops should make the territory more dynamic!"

Of course, it is also beneficial to the forces of order such as commercial law and tax law.

After hearing Xia Duo's answer, Niya still didn't clear up her doubts, and continued to ask: "Then who will spend it? Where will the money come from?"

"The land awarding ceremony is not just about dividing the land, I will also pay them the wages they have followed my pioneering so far. Counting the merits, everyone can get a lot of money!

"Although there are only more than 50 people in the first batch of granting land, including their family members, the number is quite a lot. In addition, from today onwards, civil servants in the territory will be paid wages."

In Netheril, the lords would usually grant land to those close to them after successful development. This Xia Duo’s granting land is different, almost a country within a country’s practice, similar to the relationship between each territory and Netheril.

But Xia Duo is not going to do this. The land grant will only be calculated based on the head, and the land allocated to each person is the same size. Therefore, in other aspects, a subsidy is required.

As for the salaries of civil servants, the Territorial Guards have already started to receive salaries in the past. Of course, the source is that the original Territorial Guards came from Savile Territory.

Later, although the number of guards increased, most of them were the leaders of Daxia, and they still had the tradition of paying wages. Now, paying wages to other civil servants is nothing more than a bowl of water.

And not only will wages be paid from now on, Xia Duo will also make up all the wages that have not been paid before according to their "service years".

In this way, there will be a group of people with stable income in the territory, and there will be soil for commercial development. Even if Xia Duo does not deliberately support it, those flexible-minded citizens can easily develop.

"I will allow the chamber of commerce in the Savile Territory to enter the Great Xia Territory after all the citizens have been awarded land!"

However, Niya is not very interested in the chamber of commerce. She just asked because she was curious. Now that her doubts are gone, she doesn't care about the chamber of commerce or not!
"How long until the ceremony starts?"

"Don't worry, it's time to start, Layton will send someone over to inform us!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo adjusted the projection range of the perception field of the detection spell and fixed it at a position about 50 meters obliquely above the Codex Square.

From this angle, the entire square can be seen at a glance without losing too many details due to the distance.

At this moment, nearly half of the people were sparsely standing in the square, while citizens were still pouring in from the west and south sides of the square.

However, unlike the way the leaders came here, those granting land were the protagonists of everyone's chatting and joking. In the Code Square, the teenagers wearing the tower of time robes are more like the real protagonists!
Almost every teenager is surrounded by at least one or two adults, chatting nervously and excitedly, obviously this is a family of new apprentices from the Tower of Time.

Occasionally, there will be a few teenagers who are out of character and can't help performing tricks in public.

It's really a trick, not only that the spell only touches the surface of the magic net, but more importantly, the form, which is completely like the tricks used by circuses to tease children.

It turned into a small flower for a while, made the hair of the onlookers shine for a while, and fired a few fireworks into the sky for a while.

In the end, except for a few more mature and cautious teenagers, the other teenagers couldn't help but join in, competing to "fight"!

"It's nice to be young!"

Xia Duo couldn't help sighing.

When he was learning magic, he didn't feel much pressure in his studies because of Muyan's support, and it was more pressure from the external environment.

And the new generation in the real-time video of the scouting spell is so happy. The external environment hardly puts any pressure on them. Although they are relatively nervous about learning, it is not too much pressure. It depends more on personal choice.

Those who want to study in the field of magic will naturally ask for more pressure and are willing to do so; and those who do not want to study in the field of magic, there are indeed such people, but in the stage of young apprentices, they are still very few.

Almost every teenager has the dream of being an archmage.

"This is the foundation of magical civilization!"
