Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1378 Evolution of Territory Inspection Order
But the fact is - Xia Duo has already been able to make spell chips.

Although resources are currently limited, he can't continue to manufacture for the time being, but if someone comes to compete for the control of Mysuo, even if he sells the iron, it is impossible for him to let the control of Mysuo be lost.

Chip-level fanlock nodes, even if calculated based on the integration multiple of a single energy interaction system*chip, have higher authority than ordinary nodes.

What's more, the integrated energy interaction system has higher efficiency, and it will also occupy a higher weight authority in Mysuo.

However, the integration of spell chips can almost be said to be inevitable for the development of magic technology in the future. Only by continuing to invest in all aspects can Xia Duo not fall behind.

Whether it is using mass-produced magic items to harvest leeks outside, or popularizing education in the territory, they are all investing in the future.

Running for a while while others are not working hard is called a first-mover advantage, but Xia Duo knows better what is the most precious thing in the new era!
It is not this first-mover advantage, but the talent, and even the population!
Especially the latter, as long as the population base is large enough and coupled with a reasonable system, enough talents can always be born.For now, in terms of total population, even if the Daxia Territory is combined with the Savile Territory, it may not be the opponent of most lords in the north.

Therefore, the population policy (encouraging births and introducing immigrants) must always be firm and unshakable!

When other lords have not realized the importance of population, population can also have a wave of first-mover advantage.

In fact, Xia Duo is already doing this. Saville led four chambers of commerce, including Hans, Slavin, Liaton, and Shining Gold, to go to the north to seduce the Langas people entrusted by him, and searched for the slaves along the way. colored people.

It's just that this method is still too slow for people to come in, and it is often calculated on a yearly basis, and it may not be possible to introduce many people in a year.

As for the encouragement of childbearing, this is well explained in the field granting ceremony.

The amount of land to be awarded is determined by the size of the family. Every additional person can share 10 new acres. The gold coins are linked to merit and labor. But if there are more people, there will be more gold coins!

Compared with the efficiency of the four chambers of commerce in Savile's territory, the current speed of self-manufacturing in the territory is much faster. Of course, at the current stage, this also affects the development progress to a certain extent.

However, the development itself can be regarded as a process for Xia Duo to shape the territory. He doesn't really pursue the result of the development, and making concessions to the population is a definite choice that can be made without too much consideration.

……

the next day.

Xia Duo invited Lord Collins to Saville to discuss the new situation of spice smuggling, and specifically mentioned Tove, who may be the heir of the Mooncrown family, and the elf mage Tove sent to discuss cooperation this time.

Collins replied that he would arrive at noon, and Xia Duo put the matter aside for the time being, and continued to contact Iolum to ask the result of the negotiation between the other party and the Seven Towers.

Iolum didn't reply, but Xia Duo knew from the spell feedback of the magic net background communication that the other party didn't reply, but didn't receive the message. The other party was in a place that blocked the magic net background communication.

"Maybe they are still discussing something with the Seven Towers!"

For this result, Xia Duo was a little worried, but he didn't send any more messages.

When Iolum came out of the place where the communication was blocked, the background communication of the magic net that was sent before but is now in an uncertain state would immediately lock his characteristics (encrypted direction of the magic imprint) and be received by him.

Just wait patiently. Anyway, the worst result is to expose the fact that he has become a grand arcanist. Speaking of it, this is not a bad thing, but it is extremely beautiful.

It's just that since then, his every move has been watched by others.

……

Daxialing, Linshui Village.

Xia Duo walked incognito on the brick road between the wooden houses in the residential area. Most of the bricks under his feet were cracked. Although the Great Xia Territory has not been developed for a few years, Linshui Village can already be regarded as an old community.

People come and go, and the bricks laid in the early stage can still be used now, which is beyond Xia Duo's expectation.

From the first phase to the east, some wooden houses in the planning of the new village have begun to be rebuilt, from the original whole body of wood to masonry as the wall as the base and wood as the roof.

The floor area has more than doubled compared to the past. Such a four-bedroom house with a composite structure of masonry and wood is enough for a family of five to live in a decent way.

The bricks used for the roads near the houses have also been replaced from the khaki low-quality bricks in the old west area to the blue-black floor bricks similar to Codex Square.

Stepping on such a ground, Xia Duo obviously felt a solid and heavy feeling, and stomped his feet a few times, but the brick body neither subsided nor was it damaged.

This quality, compared to the first batch of bricks produced by the territory brick kiln - bricks that could be broken in two when dropped on the mud floor, not even considered low-quality bricks, is already a world of difference.

In today's Great Xia Territories, some of the citizens who have been granted land have already entered the commodity society ahead of time. For the territory, there are only artificial finished products like this kind of high-quality bricks, but for the citizens who need it, You need to spend real money to buy it.

Xia Duo only saw two houses that used this kind of bricks. Others probably didn't want to spend money on the materials of the houses, and they probably thought that they could use them.

Continuing to the east, there is a commercial street at the junction of Linshui Village and Kaikai Village.

Last time, when Xia Duo came here, there was some depression due to the shortage of supplies. This time, although it was a bit early, he did not see any depression, but was full of vitality.

He even noticed that there was a new barbecue restaurant on the street!

The logistics department of the territory has its own public canteen with rich dishes, which may seem redundant, but it fits the current status of the territory very well and captures the needs of the people in the territory!
It is true that the logistics department has a cafeteria, but most of them are big pot meals. Although there is a bonus of Xia Duo's hometown cooking skills, eating every day will always make you tired.

In addition, since the number of people in the territory increased, it was difficult to provide the source of meat through hunting. The logistics department specially enclosed a piece of land near the forest in the southeast of Linshui Village, and raised some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

Most of the meat in the territory cafeteria is that, but the territory patrol team goes out to clean up the wild animals every day, and there will always be some gains. These gains are not valued by Xia Duo, and they are all handled by the territory guards themselves.

In the past when there was no private property, most of the gains were directly given to the logistics department. Now that many people have private property, these gains can be sold for money.

Xia Duo estimated that in the next issue of the territory report, he would be able to see an overview of the income generated by the territory guard.

For such a change, he will not comment for the time being. After a while, if there are no obvious disadvantages, it will be fixed in the form of a decree.

……

All the way to the Codex Square, Xia Duo flew up directly, sat on the Codex sculpture, and after laying a layer of warning magic, he began to inspect the power of order in the territory.
