Lord of Arcane

In addition to the new organization Lingsi Network Research Center, regarding the Standing Mage Group, the Northland Alliance will also set up a new department for this purpose to facilitate management, command, and even checks and balances among all parties.

Regarding the latter news, even Xia Duo did not receive any obvious information. There were only public rumors, but they were groundless and the rumors were not necessarily untrustworthy.

It can even be said that the alliance has established a standing mage group, and it must be included in the establishment. This will inevitably require the establishment of a new department. After all, there is no place for the mage group under the alliance's current system.

……

In April, the weather gradually became warmer. Seeing that this mutated winter was about to pass, all parties in the North finally breathed a sigh of relief. The worst situation did not happen after all.

In the Daxia Territory, while Xia Duo was busy with his own research, he did not forget to pay attention to the spring sowing situation in the territory. Since the Territory Development Department did not stop work this winter, although the efficiency was not as good as usual, a considerable amount of usable land was still developed.

Therefore, in mid-April, the territory held a land granting ceremony that was much larger than before. More than 5,000 families were allocated their own land at the ceremony, and rewards for their merit during the development period were settled.

Of course, once the land is granted, it means that you have withdrawn from the pioneering sequence. You will have to find your own way in the future. You can choose to join the development department and continue to be a pioneer worker, but the actual income will not be as high as when you are still in the pioneering sequence.

But looking at it from another perspective, quitting the pioneering sequence also means more possibilities for life in the future. A huge territory will not make it hard to eat.

In addition to the unlimited recruitment of workers by the Territory Development Department, various factories in Linshui Town Industrial Zone also need a large number of workers. The development workers who come out of the Territory Development Department are already familiar with the organizational order of the territory, and it is far easier to train them into workers in other fields than newcomers. many.

In a sense, the Territory Development Department is a melting pot, forging new territorial citizens from different places into the official territorial citizens of the Great Xia Territory.

……

After the land granting ceremony, Xia Duo and Leiden returned to the Government Affairs Hall together. The busy scene in the lobby on the first floor made Xia Duo feel very happy. When passing by, he paid a little attention. Many of them were not here to do business, but to inquire about the territory. Government affairs.

For example, whether a certain industry is prohibited in the territory, what preparations are needed to register a certain type of business qualification, or what subsidies are available for forming a cooperative in a new village after land is granted, etc.

The Daxia Code is not omnipotent, but more of a set of principled provisions. With the refinement of territorial management, more and more new regulations have appeared, and at the same time, old regulations continue to expire or be abolished.

The popularization of laws in the territory is more about popularizing the relevant contents of the code. In terms of specific detailed regulations, the popularization work is not enough.

In addition to laws and regulations, many territorial service procedures are not announced to the territorial residents in a timely manner, or the announcements and publicity are not in place. It is inevitable that there is room for hidden rules.

So when they arrived at Leiden's office on the second floor, Sha Duo was not in a hurry to say what he originally planned to say, but told Leiden——

"We still need to find ways to recruit more people. If there are any new rules and policies from the Government Affairs Department, we should promptly notify them. We should try our best to let all the territorial residents know about the major and minor matters in the territory."

"There must be a lot of people. Maybe they have gone to school to teach children recently."

"Teachers and propagandists still need to be separated. Teachers belong to the Ministry of Culture and Education, and a propaganda department is set up to be responsible for this." , is good at both internal and external matters. He is just referring to the effective ready-made cases of his predecessors.

Speaking of the Propaganda Department, Xia Duo thought of another good idea, "After the Propaganda Department is established, let's start a newspaper first, and select the highlights of the major and minor events in the territory and even Netheril at home and abroad, and publish them in it to provide a starting point for the people. A new vision of the world.”

"newspaper?"

Layton repeated the new term proposed by the lord, and it seemed familiar, but he did not understand its meaning. Thinking of the role that the lord had set for the newspaper, he thought thoughtfully:

"Your lord, do you want the Propaganda Department to make something similar to a port price manual, but it is not limited to prices, but also includes territorial policies and events at home and abroad in Netheril?"

"That's pretty much it. You can let people fumble around to do it. Tentatively, it will be a half-monthly issue. Let's call it half-monthly news! I will transfer a few mages from the Tower of Time to cooperate with the printing, but the content, typesetting and so on They won't care, and you'd better find a way to recruit or train some people who can skillfully use the magic printing press."

The Tower of Time has opened middle school courses, and most new mages still hope to continue their studies. Whether they can keep people or recruit others depends on Leiden himself.

Considering that newspapers have never appeared in the territory, and even the elves did not have such a new thing as newspapers (with periodicals), Shado left two newspaper templates for Leiden, but also warned:

"There is no need to completely apply my template. You can design a new layout by yourself. In addition, keep in mind that newspapers focus on content. Layout can add color, but it only adds color and cannot replace the content."

"Yes, I will definitely keep your Lord's instructions in mind and fully implement this instruction to everyone in the Propaganda Department."

"You don't have to be serious, but you really need to hurry up on this matter. It's best to give me a first draft before the end of the month."

It's only the middle of the month, so it's not too early to publish a first draft before the end of the month. After all, Xia Duo doesn't have high requirements for the newspaper now. He just needs to describe the major and minor events in the territory in clear words.

"By the way, you can go to the Ministry of Culture and Education and ask. If anyone is willing to transfer to the Propaganda Department, priority will be given to internal transfers, especially those who have experience as minstrels, as they are the best at doing this."

Bards are good at attracting audiences and telling stories. At least there is no need to worry about the organization. It is just that one thing is described in words instead of spoken.

After receiving Xia Duo's reminder, Leiden's eyes suddenly lit up. Just now, he was a little confused about where to start. If there was a bard to help, it would be much easier.

"Yes, I will discuss it with Lawrence."

The transfer of people from the same department cannot be solved with just one sentence. The territory's Ministry of Culture and Education is also currently short of people. If people are transferred from there and the original work progress of the Ministry of Culture and Education cannot be carried out normally, then who will be responsible?

Even if Leiden, as the territorial governor, would inevitably have to negotiate with Lawrence, the head of the Ministry of Culture and Education, in advance.

……

After talking about the Propaganda Department and Banyue News, which had been planned for a long time but were only arranged at this time, Xia Duo then got to the main topic of his visit——

"Has the candidate been decided on the trip to Everesca?"
