Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2538
Linshui Village, in the study of the lord's villa.

Xia Duo continued to look through the statistical report on the household registration of the territory. Except for the land-granted citizens, most of the official citizens who have not received land are concentrated in the Development Department, and some are in other departments of the territory.

All in all, for an ordinary person without any skills, the easiest place to accumulate merit in the current territory is the development department, as long as he is willing to work, he can accumulate merit, and the basic merit is slightly higher than other departments.

Of course, if you have a skill, or even the ability to make outstanding contributions, then you are not limited to the Development Department. After several years of development and improvement, the Territory Development Department is basically unlikely to make any outstanding contributions.

Only the most stable base merits are here.

Those with special skills, such as stonemasons, carpenters, masons, and even breeders, nursery masters, magic technicians, etc. who have received training in the territory and re-transferred, are more likely to obtain merits beyond the basics.

Or if the children in the family strive for success and continuously obtain excellent results in the Apprentice Weekly and Monthly Examinations of the Tower of Time, they can also add merit to the family.

The granting of land is not based on individuals, but on the basis of families. Of course, the specific number of fields allocated is related to the number of families at the time of the granting ceremony.

Basically, as long as two members of a family participate in the development, it is enough to qualify for the grant of land, and merit corresponds to the extra gold coins rewards that can be obtained at the grant of land ceremony.

At present, the most extra gold coins awarded by the territory is more than 9000 gold coins, which is more than twice that of No.2. The reason is that the family has nine members, the couple has five children, and two of them are adults and married wives. .

The three younger ones entered the Tower of Time one after another, and two of them became official mages within two years, and the remaining one is not much different.

As for the two children who failed to enter the Tower of Time, one of the wives has improved the weaving technology of the territory, and the other has been selected for the training program of the territory's nursery master, and is learning (magic and agriculture) from the druid elder Atwood .

Such a family can almost be said to be a legendary family, which is why there was an exaggerated result of an additional reward of more than 9000 gold coins when the land was granted.

Other families are generally around [-] to [-], a small number of people with additional merit can break through [-] or [-], and those with more than [-] are only one family.

……

If it is said that the official citizens still have options, then the preparatory subjects, including those who became official subjects after joining the territory in 839 in the Nether calendar, basically have no choice.

With the gradual increase in the population of the territory and the gradual sufficient manpower in various departments, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to add new people. Basically, only the development department is still recruiting new people without restriction.

As for formal citizens, although they are called formal, there is no difference in their rights, but as long as they have not been granted land, they cannot actually be the same as those who have been granted land.

At least others have a few thousand gold coins more than you, and each person has ten new acres of land.

Theoretically, the official citizens can grant land, but in practice, they still need to complete a certain amount of merit. After all, the first part of the land grants are old people who have followed Xia Duo from scratch for two or three years. .

Although the development progress of latecomers has continued to increase with the increase in the number of territories, until now, the 20 new territories that joined earlier this year and the more than [-] new territories that will soon join, even if they do not participate in the development, the territory is still capable of giving They provide the land needed for grants.

But if there is no difference, how can it reflect the value of the early pioneers?
Granting land unconditionally will chill the hearts of the old people who followed Xia Duo earlier, and it will also overturn the past order of land granting. This is the most direct and simple reason, so even if you are an official citizen, you must have a threshold if you want to get land.

Of course, as long as one becomes an official citizen, there are still a lot of basic benefits, such as compulsory education, territorial training programs, joining the government affairs office, public security station, territorial guard, and so on.

At present, there are still a large number of unexplored unclaimed lands around the Great Xia Territory. Xia Duo does not want to stop the process of granting land for the time being. In his simple cognition, those who have permanent property have perseverance, and permanent property is nothing more than land.

As long as there are conditions, he will provide each citizen with enough land to support themselves, so as to relieve them from the worries of survival. Even if they cannot provide land in the future, he will provide basic living materials so that the citizens do not have to be trapped in survival. And spare energy to pursue a higher level of development.

This approach may produce a lot of people who are content to lie flat, or rice bugs, and degenerates within the civilization, but again, as long as these people do not violate the code, Xia Duo can tolerate them, and the civilization is also tolerant enough.

For those who are content to lie flat, Xia Duo will not complain, but feel sorry for them, missing the best development opportunity in the best era.

Of course, if he couldn't even provide the basic necessities of life for everyone, Xia Duo would have no face to talk about the development of the territory, let alone talk about the wisdom of civilization.

……

Xia Duo cared more about the progress of the civilization of territorial magic than the statistical report on the household registration of the people. Layton used a row of bookshelves to store this part of the documents.

Xia Duo moved to the row of bookshelves after reading other summary materials, and picked up a document on the top row, only to see the title read——

"Ten Measures of the Government Affairs Department on Encouraging and Supporting Citizens to Purchase Magic Stoves (To Be Discussed)"!
Magic lamps have been popularized, so there are naturally no obstacles to the research and development of magic stoves. Although the research and development of magic stoves is more difficult than magic lamps, if there is a standard starter, it is nothing more than a cost issue.

The magic lamp is priced at 10 gold coins, and it is still profitable after deducting labor, but the magic lamp is more inclined to public facilities, even if it is purchased and used by the local residents, it is actually more inclined to the attributes of infrastructure.

The magic stove is different. Not only is the price high, but there is no such strong demand for magic lamps. At present, most of the residents do not have a formal stove. In addition, the canteen is always open 24 hours a day, and many of the residents are not there at all. Cook at home.

It is even said that the current territory is still being developed at a high speed, and the wood cannot be used at all. Most of the trunks are still there, and the miscellaneous branches alone are enough to burn for a long time, not to mention that Xia Duo has planned a fast-growing forest near the new village in advance.

Although most of them are not used now, there are not a few crop stalks harvested every year, which can basically cover the daily needs of every household.

In this case, the difficulty of promoting Magic Stove can be imagined.

The people who have been awarded land have money, but most of them came from poor days. They can buy magic lamps for learning lighting at night, but what about magic stoves?
It is not a necessity, who dares to spend money recklessly, and money is not made like this.

Most of the ten measures in the documents of the Government Affairs Department are indirect guidance, and only one is direct subsidies. The method is simple and rude-with the purchase certificate of the Magic Stove, you can get an annual ticket corresponding to the number of families in the vegetable market under the Territorial Logistics Department.

Within a year, you can receive a certain amount of vegetables and meat every day with a ticket, without spending money.

The cheapest basic magic stove costs 200 gold coins a set, but the family spends more than 200 gold coins a year on purchasing ingredients for their own cooking.

"No wonder it's still pending!"

　Lying flat in reality is not actually lying flat, nor is it qualified to lie flat, it is more like the silent resistance of the weak. If you don’t work, you don’t even have to eat hot food, and you only have the right to resist when you do what you are supposed to do. This is the so-called Lie flat, still highly exploited
The imaginary era of distribution according to needs may give birth to real people who lie flat, but the civilization at that time was enough to accommodate them. In fact, that kind of people may not really appear. When the vast majority of physiological needs are met, naturally You will want to pursue higher-level needs, and if you don't have enough to eat, you won't even be qualified to talk about ideals.
