Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1943 Model of Governance
After sending the message to Iolum, Xia Duo put the Nether scroll left by Brundes into his personal space for storage. Now he is no longer in the state of extreme desire for power when he just crossed.

He was very happy to get the color-resistant scrolls, but he was not happy with this set of color-resistant scrolls, but with the ability to legally hold and display the color-resistant scrolls in the future.

It is equivalent to washing the color-resistant scrolls he brought back from the projection plane.

After that, Xia Duo did not return to the blue crystal plane immediately, but walked to the territory, called the consul Layton to him, and ordered:

"Soon there will be the first batch of mainland visitors visiting the territory. You should make arrangements in advance. There are two points to pay attention to——

"One is about security. Let Gibb's security guards and Meili's air patrol team make adequate plans to prevent visitors from causing trouble in the territory, let alone outsiders harming local residents.

"The other one is about business. At present, the business atmosphere in the territory is just emerging. I just saw some spontaneous vendors appearing on the east side of the southern section of the [Great Xia-Saville Collar Passage].

"I think it can be seen that this aspect will be regulated, and a new commercial street will be built near the new village. The population of the territory is increasing, and a relaxed commercial atmosphere is still needed after all."

"Yes, my lord."

Hearing Xia Duo's order, Leiden immediately realized that the territory was about to usher in a major change, changing its previous conservative attitude towards the outside world and turning it into an open state.

After thinking about it, he suggested, "Perhaps it is possible to establish a complete set of foreign-related management mechanisms to make dealing with outsiders a routine task, rather than a temporary special task."

"Yes, you can discuss this with the chief officials of the various ministries in the territory, make it clear in advance what you need them to cooperate with, and give me the final result."

In fact, Xia Duo has a set of solutions in his mind, but he wants to see a territory manager like Layton give full play to his subjective initiative and solve problems by himself.

In the future, there will be opportunities for them to shine. Of course, discovering some management talents during this period is also one of Xia Duo's goals.

Then, Layton proposed again, "I think the commercial aspect can be slowed down. It's okay to just build a new commercial street, but the territory is still in a state of development. Most of the citizens have not yet allocated their own fields. The commercial atmosphere is too strong. It may not be conducive to subsequent development, and it will also have a bad impact on granting land."

"Well, well said! You reminded me!"

Of course, Xia Duo is not the kind of person who can’t tolerate any objections from others. On the contrary, he is very good at listening to different opinions. “Commercial development is mainly driven by people’s spontaneity, and we can understand the needs and wishes of the people in a timely manner.

"If the citizens are not interested or in need, don't force them; if the citizens have needs and willingness, they should make considerations based on the actual situation.

"In this way, with regard to the new commercial street, you will first bring it up at the territorial meeting, let everyone discuss it, and after reaching a consensus, send people to conduct field research and seek relevant opinions, and use this commercial street construction as a model for future governance do it."

In fact, the Daxia government has its own set of complete mechanisms, and it has been included in the Daxia code system. In addition, Netheril already has a very strong law-abiding atmosphere. Xia Duo is not worried that this matter will eventually go away. Partial.

"By the way, I'm going to build another portal in Codex Square that connects to Savile Territory. It will be open for free before the end of the year, and it will also be free for holidays every year thereafter."

Now that the David String Portal has already been used, it doesn’t hurt to use it again. Not only the Portal, but when the population increases in the future, he will also open a regular airship route between the two places.

The establishment of the portal in advance this time is also to catch the flow of mainland tourists. In fact, there is nothing to see in the Daxia collar. Orderly people, ordinary sightseers will quickly lose interest.

After all, this is just a new territory under construction.

The Savile Territory, however, is a relatively mature territory with relatively complete facilities and places (in the current era). If you can make good use of this wave of traffic, you might be able to make a lot of money.

Of course, in the long run, it still needs some characteristics that are different from other territories in order to continuously attract outsiders.

It can be an excellent specialty product, a prosperous business, an excellent academic environment, a strong artistic atmosphere, or simply curiosity.

These are the future development directions of Daxialing.

……

After talking about the business, Xia Duo was still in the mood, so he did not rush back to the Tower of Time, but asked about Jay's recent situation. Jay was the Minister of Magic of the Territory chosen by Xia Duo.

Of course, the current Ministry of Magic of the Territory is still run by Layton first, and Jay temporarily presides over various affairs of the Ministry of Magic as the assistant minister.

Speaking of various affairs, Jay actually only has one task now, which is the research on the civilian use of magic. For this reason, Xia Duo even opened up some of the elf artifacts collected by the Tower of Time to him.

Even the [Guardian] suit purchased from Evereska not long ago was given to him, which shows the expectations for him.

Xia Duo returned from the projection plane a few days ago and has been busy with this kind of affairs, so he didn't have time to ask about Jay's situation, but now, Layton happened to be present.

Even though he didn't have much research on magic, as the nominal Minister of Magic, he should have some understanding of Jay's research progress.

To this, Layton’s answer was——“Jay mentioned his research progress at the territory meeting a few days ago, saying that he had made a breakthrough and was almost ready to be put into use. At the meeting that day, he only discussed There are various problems with the civilization of magic."

"Oh? What are the problems?"

"It's mostly about cost and risk."

Then Layton further elaborated, "Currently the official resident of the territory does have some savings, but that is labor compensation during the pioneering period. Strictly speaking, it was actually given to them by you, a one-time wealth.

"But even so, I have also inquired about the prices of various products of the Tower of Time, and it is difficult for most official citizens to afford it, let alone for daily use.

"Use must be consumed, and it is simply not affordable for ordinary people with limited income.

"Furthermore, the risk is that most of the citizens are not spellcasters and have not received relevant training. Once they come into contact with the magic items they can operate, they may either cause abuse or cause unnecessary danger due to improper operation, including the magic items themselves. Unexpectedly, they can't handle it.

"These are very real problems. If these problems are not resolved, it will be difficult to implement the civilianization of magic."
