Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1694
While chatting, Niya's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally Xia Duo stopped talking, and the two fell asleep peacefully.

……

the next day.

Considering that he almost forgot to select people for the bloodline sequencing project, Xia Duo decided to sort out the important matters that need to be dealt with in the near future.

The first is to select people to go to Kiran Tower to participate in the blood sequencing project.

Xia Duo handed over this matter to the Advancement Society to handle. He only made two requests. One was that the members of the independent research room would not consider it for the time being, and the other was to try to select four people from among the new mages.

The former is because the members of the independent research room are already core personnel of the Tower of Time, similar to David's research room, if someone leaks the secrets in the Zilan Tower, then Xia Duo will suffer.

Although he will take some protective measures, but everyone has gone to other people's homes, and no matter how much preparation is made, it will not be as good as others' adaptability + unlimited attempts.

This is like the fact that key scientists on earth do not go abroad. Even if scientists themselves have no problems, they still need to guard against various unexpected factors abroad.

As for the number of people, there is no limit on the Zilan Tower, but considering that the Tower of Time itself is very short of people, we can only squeeze out four people as much as possible. If there are too few people, it would be meaningless to go.

After explaining the matter clearly through Ta Ling, Xia Duo went to the lord's villa in Linshui Village to summon Leiden.

"How are the preparations for the Midsummer Festival going?"

"It's ready, and it's still the same as last year. It's a blessing ceremony. It's really going to be—" When it came to sensitive topics, Layton immediately stopped talking.

But Xia Duo knew what Layton wanted to say. It was nothing more than that he asked Layton to "report" the achievements of the Great Xia Territory to the Lord of Radiance at this year's Midsummer Festival blessing ceremony, the most important of which was the Great Xia Standard Weights and Measures .

It's just that Netheril already has a set of measures of brilliance, and Layton may be worried about having a dispute with the lord of brilliance like last time.

The last time I just took back the divine favor, it would be too dangerous if a real divine punishment was incurred this time.

However, Xia Duo didn't worry much about this. Instead, he comforted Layton, "Don't worry, the Lord of Radiance is also the Lord of Order. As long as we abide by the way of order, we will never have to worry about being punished by His God."

The biggest ideological difference between Xia Duo and the Lord of Radiance is whether the spirit of legislation is needed, and Xia Duo's point of view is of course necessary.

As for the Lord of Radiance, although he didn't say whether he wanted it or not, judging from the teachings recognized by the other party, he obviously didn't think it was necessary.

However, this difference in concept does not involve the core essence of the Lord of Radiance, and can even be understood as a positive extension of the concept of the Lord of Radiance.

As long as the opponent is not short-sighted, it is basically unlikely to be an enemy. At most, he will not respond to the call perception of Xia Duo's related people.

Not to mention that Daxia Weights and Measures completely complied with the teachings of the Lord of Radiance without any violation. Xia Duo really couldn't think of any reason for the other party to give him divine punishment.

Although Xia Duo had influenced him a lot, Leiden was still deeply influenced by the teachings of the Lord of Glory. Xia Duo said so, so naturally he would not have any objections. The question just now was just out of concern.

After chatting briefly about the arrangements for the celebration, Xia Duo quickly got down to business——

"If there is no accident before the cold winter, a group of new citizens will join the territory, and we can start preparing for it after the Midsummer Festival."

Layton is no stranger to the preparations for the joining of new citizens, and it can even be said that he is extremely familiar with it. In the past few years, the arrival of new citizens of the territory has hardly been interrupted.

There was even experience of admitting tens of thousands of Langas at one time.

"My lord, how many people are there this time?"

"I'm not sure, it may be more or less, let's prepare with the goal of 5 people!"

Now that the work in the territory has already been on the right track, there is no need to prepare in advance for sporadic new residents, and the number of new residents that Xia Duo can specifically explain the needs of is naturally not a small number.

He was talking about the Naithers recruited by the Severton Council through Brod. The number is about [-], but he is not sure about the efficiency of the Severton Council. It is relatively safe to prepare for [-].

Even if you prepare too much, the next year will not be wasted. After all, the territory will not stop recruiting people. In addition to Brod, the Fourth Savile Chamber of Commerce is also recruiting people for him.

The last time Gray Eagle Tribe joined was their matchmaking.

When the Nethers recruited by Brod arrive, the proportion of the territory's Langas and Nethers will be out of balance again.

In other words, the Langas can be introduced again.

For Xiaduo, the Langas are undoubtedly easier to obtain than the Nethers.

There are a lot of them on the Langas Plain. As long as you treat people with sincerity, there is a precedent for the Gray Eagle tribe. It is not difficult to introduce them in batches one by one.

Regardless of whether it is a Langas or a Nether, as long as they come to Daxia, they are all Daxia.

……

After talking about the new citizens, Leiden happened to be there, and Xia Duo asked about the land granting ceremony.

"The recent land awarding ceremonies are still based on families, one hundred households each time, and the total number of people is relatively stable, with an average of about 300 people at a time, but there is an upward trend, mainly due to the impact of the territory's birth control policy."

"En." Xia Duo nodded, expressing satisfaction.

The land grant ceremony will not always be held. As long as he announces the end of the state of development, there will be no more land grants, at least there will be no large-scale land grants like now.

The granting of land is based on people, and is not calculated by merit. The merits will be converted into gold coins and settled at one time during the land granting ceremony.

Of course Lingmin is not a fool. Can having a child now be the same as having a child in the future?Now that one child is born, one more person's land will be allocated. When the land grant is over, even if one child is born every day, he will not get any more land.

In addition, the territory will also help to look after and educate the children. Nowadays, the citizens, especially those who have not yet been assigned to the land, are not desperate to have children!

"You keep talking."

"Yes."

Leiden glanced at Xia Duo, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly said, "I didn't choose the candidates for the recent land award ceremony in the order they joined the territory, but added some new citizens who have integrated well."

"A good new leader to integrate into? From the Gray Eagle tribe?"

"Yes, except for the high-level executives of the Gray Eagle Tribe that your lord told me before, each of them has passed the assessment of the language and regulations of the territory with relatively excellent results. It can be regarded as the preparatory leaders have become regulars. It is still in the development stage, and they should be granted land."

"Then do other people have any opinions? Especially those who have been rejected from the land grant quota?"

"No, not only do I have no opinion, but I am very happy!"

"very happy?"

Xia Duo changed his mind and immediately understood that due to various policies, granting land has actually become the later the better the benefits.

Not to mention other things, but if one more child is born during the period when the quota is removed, then 10 new acres of land will be allocated to the land grant in the future.

With such a good deal, Xia Duo has no doubt that some people will find various ways to delay the grant of land, especially those who joined in the early days, who are not worried about not being able to get the land at all.

At this time, what they consider more is how to get more.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but joked with Leiden, "No one is looking for you?"

"what?"

Layton didn't react for a while, but after reacting, he continued to be stunned for a few seconds, and then quickly explained:

"The laws and regulations of the territory prohibit favoritism. Even if someone comes to me, I will refuse. In fact, everyone is very familiar with and supports the Great Xia Law Code, and knows that violations in the territory must be investigated, so no one has come to me until now."

"I believe in you!" Xia Duo said seriously.

He also realized that despite his efforts to guide the territory towards the atmosphere of modern society, the inertia of history is still very heavy.

Furthermore, for a believer in the Lord of Radiance, such a joke is still a bit too exciting.
