Lord of Arcane

Chapter 409 Correctness, Advancement, Inevitability

Coming to the edge of the "demonstration field", three residents are carefully digging out the newly germinated wheat seeds from the nursery area, and then transplanting them to other open spaces in the "demonstration field". (Wheat seedlings are very small and need to be buried in the soil, and will continue to grow in the coming year)

This is a nursery area specially set aside by Xia Duo, and it has been kept there until the princess arrives before arranging for transplantation.Up to now, nearly 6 acres of "demonstration fields" have been opened up, but there is still nearly one acre that has not been planted.

When these wheat seedlings are completely planted, they are almost full.

And before winter, as long as more open spaces can be cleared, Xia Duo can turn them all into "demonstration fields". After all, there is no time limit for the birth of spells.

Xia Duo stretched out his hand and drew a big circle in front of him, and introduced: "Your Highness, this is the first batch of farmland that is expected to be opened up in Linshui Village in Daxia. There are nearly 100 acres of planting."

In order to explain more conveniently and visually, Xia Duo also displayed the farmland planning map in the form of magic images. In his plan, in addition to the first batch, there are also the second batch and the third batch.

In the end, it will expand to the east of the ruins of the mystical ruins of the elves, and the continuous clearing of the forest in the future will also become an important decision for the Great Xia Territory, and it will continue.

Of course, this requires a lot of manpower and material resources to do it.

However, seeing this large piece of land being occupied by forests instead of being used by people for the development of population, people's livelihood, and magic, Xia Duo always felt a little unbearable.

Although Xia Duo only showed a part of the farmland planning map, Princess Shia became very interested in it. As far as she knows, no territory has such a long-term plan before opening up. She thinks Xia Duo should still There is more planning.

So I proposed to go to other places to have a look, and asked while walking: "Just now I noticed that the wheat seeds in Daxia collar were spawned by using magic in advance, and then transplanted?"

This unique way also made her very curious. Although she is a grand arcanist, it is more of an achievement in the field of magic. For farming, she may not be as good as an ordinary peasant woman.

Also as a Grand Arcanist, if there is anything she doesn't understand, she doesn't need to worry about anything, just ask directly.

"His Royal Highness, in the past, the seeds were just randomly planted, and the germination rate was very low. It was a waste of seeds to be replanted many times in the later stage. The method of raising seedlings in advance used by Daxia Ling, even without using magic , You can also artificially modify the environment suitable for germination, so as to greatly increase the overall germination rate. As for which environment is most suitable for germination, this can be summed up through many explorations and attempts."

Xia Duo went into great detail. In fact, even without his intervention, ordinary farmers in Naise may develop suitable or even more suitable agricultural techniques in the future.

It's just that this requires an environment that elevates agriculture and farmers to a higher status.

This is obvious on Earth, after all, no matter how demeaning farmers are, all food is grown by farmers.

But in Netheril, mages can also cultivate land, and arcane gardens can meet the needs of mages without any problem at all, and can even supply external supplies. In this case, it is difficult for farmers to improve their status.

This is determined by the real environment, and the time for Xia Duo to intervene is relatively early. The upper and lower classes of Netheril have not yet formed a clear division. The spells are integrated into all aspects of ordinary people's production and life in advance, and the concept of mages is sinking. This is good for getting the broadest possible population support.

Mages and high-level mages are a small number of elites after all. If there is no support from a wider population and a steady stream of new blood, maybe one day after a high-level mage leaves, it will have a very far-reaching impact. The whole civilization collapsed.

In fact, this is where the correctness, advancement, and inevitability of the whole people's revision of the law lie.

Facing the princess, Xia Duo doesn't need to instill ideas in her very bluntly, it's not necessary, but she can understand the truth in it through related methods.

Including the completed "Great Xia Collar Standard Development Manual", Xia Duo didn't talk about his ideas in it, but hid all of these behind each behavior.

If you accept his actions, you will inevitably accept his ideas.

It is a historical necessity of historical materialism that advanced productive forces replace backward productive forces and advanced production relations replace backward production relations.

Of course, in the magical world, the details may be different. For example, in Nether, faith can generate power, which will blur the boundaries between advanced and backward.

But from a wider perspective and a longer time scale, there is no doubt that the advanced replaces the backward.

As for the specific analysis of specific issues, Xia Duo is temporarily unable to understand what is advanced in a wider perspective and on a longer time scale, but for now, he has fully grasped what is advanced.

This may be repeated in the future, but Xia Duo will also learn and analyze from time to time, analyze in real time, and learn from time to time, so as to keep pace with the times and embrace the future as much as possible.

……

The next stop after the "demonstration field" is the altar square, which is actually nothing to see, just a small square, and there are similar infrastructures in other places.

Xia Duo has always been very cautious about the Domain of Gods, and did not come up with any innovations on a whim, and judging by the princess's attitude, it seems that she has little interest in it.

A group of people quickly skipped here and walked north.

To the north is the residential area. Now they are villagers, and in the future they may become townspeople and citizens. Rows of small wooden houses manufactured and built by modularization are almost exactly the same except for the different textures of wood.

Xia Duo introduced the manufacturing process of these wooden houses to Princess Shia at the right time, and the next stop was the wooden house making workshop.

Hundreds of leaders are busy, and the most noticeable thing is the various rulers and squares they will pick up from time to time.

Since most of these craftsmen were temporarily trained by ordinary citizens, and the carpenters were inexperienced, Xia Duo prepared a lot of rulers for them when designing the modular manufacturing plan.

For example, if the front wall planks are to be produced, there is a special front wall ruler, which is marked in advance, and the length, width, and thickness are marked for their convenience.

Without these, the so-called modular manufacturing and mass production will be difficult to realize, because without these, we can only rely on the experience of carpenters.

And experience is difficult to quantify and popularize. This is what Xia Duo does not want. He hopes to quantify the so-called experience, and to achieve the ultimate is——

The most basic carpenter only needs to be able to understand drawings and skillfully use various tools to produce qualified products.And to go further, it may be to create new drawings, study the characteristics of wood, invent new tools and so on.

Turning a carpenter into a carpenter is the way of industrialization on earth.

In the field of magic, it is actually subdividing the research and application of magic.
