Lord of Arcane

Chapter 404 Demonstration Concept
But it is impossible not to increase the manpower. Now basically every carpenter is accompanied by at least two apprentices, teaching by precept and example, almost hand in hand.

While this might slow down their own production, the increase in numbers more than makes up for it.

"Continue to increase the manpower, I hope everyone can have their own home before winter!" Xia Duo said without hesitation.

And Layton replied without hesitation, "Yes, my lord!"

Xia Duo, who had known Leiden's character for a long time, knew that he would never refuse his orders, so he couldn't help asking, "Is there any difficulty?"

"This——" Layton hesitated, but the lord asked, and he would not refuse to answer, let alone lie, "My lord, the brick kiln has also increased manpower just now, and now most of the manpower in the territory is used to open up farmland and transport divisions." Timber, if too many people are used to build houses, it may affect the development of farmland. After winter, the land is hard and difficult to work, and I am afraid that it will not be able to keep up with tomorrow's spring sowing."

really!

There is another problem here!

The autumn sowing in Savile's collar is in progress, and it is coming to an end. If Linshui Village speeds up, it might be able to catch up with the end of the autumn sowing.

And if you miss this year's autumn sowing and next year's spring sowing, you will basically have to eat stored grain for a long time, and the stored grain comes from the Savile collar.

There was no trouble in transportation. It took half a day to arrive at Linshui Village downstream from Savile.The real trouble is the food itself. Because the Tower of Time Arcane Garden was suspended for a period of time, the food shipped to Conifera City needs to be replaced with stored food.

But in this era, there is not much grain in stock, and no one will produce a lot of grain and pile it in the warehouse, so it will be very troublesome if you can’t catch up with the autumn sowing, let alone the spring sowing in the coming year.

Even if the Arcane Garden increases production, it will be difficult to achieve. One is that the energy reserves are recovering, but they are insufficient after all.While satisfying the grain trade of Conifera City, a certain margin must be left to prevent Saville from failing his own grain harvest.

Arcane Gardens it is also very difficult.

"How long is there enough food in the warehouse?" Xia Duo asked.

"Except for the children, the rest of the people have to work every day, which consumes a lot of food, and the order of the adults is to feed the people. So, this batch of food can probably last until the end of the year. Of course, there are fewer winter activities. The consumption will also be less, and it may last until early spring."

"I understand. I will let Savile lead the team to continue to transport food. As for the carpenter team, the manpower will continue to increase. If there is no formal housing in winter, people will be unstable. Don't relax in this regard."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo left Leiden, and walked east alone, past the small tent where he usually lived, and behind him was the lord's villa under construction.

Now that the prototype of the villa has appeared, maybe after winter, he can also move into the new home, although it may be too late to do any decorations at this time.

Continuing to the east, outside the fence that has surrounded Linshui Village, a large amount of wood is piled up in the open space, where the people who come and go carry out the second rough processing of the logs, turning them into materials suitable for carpenters to manufacture.

As for the first rough processing, in fact, it is to trim off the branches, cut off the logs and move them back. This step was done when the trees were cleared.

Going further east, this is the future farmland. Of course, in the further planning, this place will become Linshui Town, or even a part of Linshui City.

At this moment, this uneven open space is full of potholes. There are places where the terrain was originally undulating, and there are also potholes left by tree roots and stones after being cleared.

Moreover, there is a stark contrast between the surface humus on the surface of the forest and the newly dug up soil from the ground. Various smells are mixed together, full of "pastoral atmosphere"!
Now these "quasi-farmlands" are still in the early stage of clearing up, and then they have to plow the ground if they want to plant seeds. Xia Duo still understands the general farming process.

Of course, the early cleaning is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive stage. After that, whether it is plowing, sowing, weeding, harvesting, etc., it is a relatively smooth and simple "logging" stage.

Of course, Xia Duo wanted to enter the next stage as soon as possible, but looking at the large open space in front of him that he didn't know when it would be cleared, three characters suddenly popped up in Xia Duo's mind——

"Demonstration field!"

It is indeed not an easy task to open up and maintain a territory. The basic necessities of the people, even eating, drinking and drinking, are all hung on the lord. This is a burden and a responsibility, but it is also the source of authority.

Now that the princess is about to come over for an inspection, he must let her see his strengths and potentials, more precisely the strengths and potentials of the Great Xia leader. It is best to create a "Great Xia Model" so that she can get the princess's attention.

Compared with other pioneers, Xia Duo's biggest advantage is that he has the whole world as a reference, and he is willing to let go of the figure of a spellcaster and truly consider ordinary citizens.

Because in Xia Duo's eyes, ordinary citizens are actually the seeds of mages, and there may be future great arcanists among them!

In the magical world, longevity is not a fantasy, and immortality is not a fantasy. If there are vivid examples, Xia Duo would think about it.

And the immortals must consider the long-term. The benefits of having a great arcanist in the territory are too great, and it is not only the benefits, but also the battle of ideas and roads.

Everyone has the need for self-realization, and wants to realize the ideals and ambitions buried in the bottom of his heart. Whether he is a high-ranking person or a low-level person, the difference is only the size of the ideal.

The high ones dominate the rise and fall of civilizations and the birth and death of the world; the middle ones are at least leaders in a certain field; the low ones may just ask for food and clothing for a day.

For spellcasters, the prospects are broad, so it is natural to look upwards, cultivate like-minded fellows, and use this to guide the trend. This is what the traveler should really do, not just be satisfied with material enjoyment.

Of course Xia Duo likes to enjoy, who doesn't like to enjoy, but compared to material enjoyment, he prefers spiritual satisfaction.

Of course, as an adult, and even a mage, he wants fancy clothes and gourmet food, and he will not give up his ideals and ambitions.

"Ask the vast land, who is in charge of the ups and downs", "count the romantic figures and still look at the present", "dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky" such a mind, realm, and even ability.

Although Xia Duo can't reach it now, he is full of infinite yearning for it and is willing to work hard for it.

Compared with a great man, he is very small. If he hadn't seen the hope of longevity or even eternal life, Xia Duo would not even have such an idea, and it is true to live his life in peace.

But once you have the hope of longevity or even eternal life, your thoughts will naturally increase, and your ideals and ambitions will also change accordingly.
