Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2055 Take it from the people and use it for the people
Floating city, planting area.

In fact, the initial area here is far less than the surface area of ​​the floating city, because there is an outer protective layer on the periphery of the planting area, and the material carrier of the war magic is in that area.

In addition, in Xia Duo's plan, there will also be similar "carrier-based aircraft warehouses" and "arms storage depots".

The planting area, in addition to undertaking agricultural responsibilities, can actually be used as a buffer zone. The closer the floating city is, the more important it becomes. They are the residential area, the public area, the education area, the research area, and the central area in the middle. control area.

The main energy center of the floating city is the absolute center of the floating city, but there are four relatively independent subsidiary energy centers in the education area.

Among them, the former mainly supplies various infrastructures of the floating city, such as flight control system, repair and maintenance system, protection system, and so on.

And those four subsidiary energy centers are for other consumptions of the functional divisions of the floating city, such as research offices, schools, residential areas, commercial areas, and so on.

Similar to the distinction between industrial electricity, residential electricity, and commercial electricity in Xia Duo's hometown.

Although in the foreseeable future, Ao Neng will be very cheap, but the process of delivering Ao Neng to every user is not necessarily cheap, and the fee will be taken for granted at that time.

After all, if you want to maintain a healthy and continuous operation of a system, money is an ideal lubricant, and the flow of money means the operation of the system.

The more money flow lines, in a sense, it also shows the prosperity of the system.

If there is no fee, then the system will lack a channel for upward collection of money. At least one is irrelevant, but it is related to the concept of governance. If there are more fees, then the system or the operation of civilization will not be healthy.

In the same way, money gathered at the top cannot be left unused all the time, otherwise it will be a stagnant pool and needs to be transferred to the bottom in various forms, such as investment in infrastructure construction, lower loan interest rates, or even direct subsidies, etc.

A large branch of ancient philosophy in Xia Duo’s hometown is related to sports, and it is more respectful of harmony. In a sense, this simple philosophy sometimes allows people in modern times to penetrate the fog and get straight to the essence of things.

The sages once said that "governing a big country is like cooking small fresh food". In Xia Duo's view, the original intention is not to do nothing, but to emphasize nature. The so-called "taken from the people" naturally needs to be "used to the people". How simple the opinion of.

It is still applicable in the complex modern society, it is nothing more than that the forms of "take" and "use" have changed and increased compared with the ancient ones, but the principle remains the same.

In fact, the phrase "take it from the people and use it to the people" has already exhausted the core concept of the kingly way of governing the world.

Politically, power comes from the people, so it needs to represent the interests of the people; militarily, the people's army naturally fights for the people, and culturally, there is also the theory of people's literature and art.

Xia Duo believes in the power of the people. Although the unawakened people may not be able to form any power, as long as he is given time, he will discover this unparalleled power and use it to transform the world.

……

In the planting area, while Xia Duo was synchronizing the demiplane, he was chatting with Savile about the next development.

Of course, it is impossible for him to talk about "the vast ocean of the people's war" with Savile at this stage. What he can talk about is basically some specific mid- and long-term plans.

For example, Xia Duo originally thought that Savile would not be happy to popularize magic education in the Great Xia Territory and Savile Territory even if he did not object, but who knew that the other party was more enlightened and even radical than he imagined.

"Teacher has wanted to do this for a long time, but now—no, I mean that the Seven Towers I had at that time were no longer the original Seven Towers, and now they are even worse!"

Saville almost unabashedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Seven Towers, and Xia Duo remembered that the "old man" in front of him was actually nearly a hundred years old.

According to Xia Duo's understanding, Netheril a hundred years ago was relatively enlightened on issues such as magic. At least the scrolls of Netheril are placed in the Arcane Federation. Even ordinary people have the opportunity to go in and take a look. Of course, can they understand? It is another matter.

As for the first seven towers, Xia Duo didn't know much about them, but it is also conceivable that Saville was talking about the situation when the Nethers just gave up elf magic. In order to gain the ability to fight elves as quickly as possible, Naturally, relevant knowledge cannot be locked in the secret room all the time.

At least some of them must be released to select talented people, otherwise, how efficient would it be to rely on the first few human mages of the elven magic system!

However, when the Nether magic system gradually improved, the pioneers gradually closed the door to the latecomers. Even if they did not close all the doors, the gap was very obvious compared to the beginning.

"By the way, when you passed the Holy Golden Dragon Empire before, did you notice that there is magic education there?"

"Of course I've noticed, or it's hard not to notice!"

When it came to this topic, Saville couldn't help showing memories and complicated expressions on his face, and then said in a heavy tone: "The center of every city in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire is a magic academy! Even affiliated races can enter it to study, if not Worried about being traced to the main plane, I wanted to go in and study for a while!"

"Didn't you say that the subordinate races will be transformed into dragons?" Xia Duo asked again.

"Yes! From our point of view, this may be an insult, but in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, this is a supreme honor. Whether it is elves, humans, gnomes, or goblins, everyone strives for it. final goal!"

"There are goblins there too? I haven't heard you say that before!"

"Of course there are, but the goblins there are taller and burlier than the goblins on the main plane, about the same height as humans! They are also smarter! I have only seen a goblin mage who has obtained the incarnation of a dragon!" Saville said in a sigh .

"The incarnation of the dragon is the supreme glory of transforming the dragon?"

"Yes."

"Then is there a possibility that the goblins on the main plane became so thin because of malnutrition?"

"I don't know about that! But those goblins on the main plane, it's really hard for me to connect them with those big goblins from the Holy Golden Dragon Empire."

For some reason, the topic of the two chatting gradually changed from the popularization of education to the powerful and powerful Holy Golden Dragon Empire in a foreign land. Xia Duo asked Savile many questions, but his impression of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire was always like a thin layer of tulle, faintly visible , how can not see clearly.

At the end, Xia Duo suddenly said, "Then Saville, are you willing to stay in the Tower of Time and help me?"

Saville was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said with a smile: "Aren't I helping you now?"

"That's right! I'm too persistent."
