Lord of Arcane

Chapter 413 The New Territories Are Coming

After talking about the ship issue, Xia Duo talked about the recruitment of the leaders that he ordered them to do before. Before that, only the Slavin Chamber of Commerce brought back dozens of slaves to Xia Duo, and there were no free people who migrated normally.

Therefore, at that time, Xia Duo thought of the Langas, these barbarians in the eyes of the Nethers, he himself did not discriminate in this regard, and it would not necessarily be a bad thing if they could be introduced in large numbers.

It's just that time has passed for so long, but there is no news at all. Just thinking about it makes people anxious.

Of course, considering the distance between the Northland and the Savile Territory, Xia Duo would not be too harsh, but asked again, "President Fleck, I asked you to go to the north to recruit the Langas. Is there any news?"

Fleck was confused at first, but he quickly realized that he subconsciously looked at Mrs. Patty, and Mrs. Patty replied in a timely manner: "My lord, remote communication is not easy. I just sent back the news at the beginning of last month that they have communicated with Mrs. The Langas people have come into contact with it, and now it’s going to be winter, if there are Langas people who are willing to migrate, there must be news soon.”

"Very good!" Xia Duo tapped his fingers on the table, "In the future, recruiting Langas will become a common practice of the Great Xia leadership. I will see all your efforts, and I will definitely not let you down."

The breathing of the three male presidents suddenly became a little faster, but Mrs. Patty still looked calm. Xia Duoduo glanced at her, but that was all.

After that, Xia Duo discussed with several people some specific details about transporting the people and recruiting the Rangas, and then he returned to the Tower of Time.

There is one task that he can start to prepare now, and that is to submit a recruitment plan for the people to the Severton Council, which includes the expected number of recruits and future arrangements for them.

According to Great Master Greta, Xia Duo must submit a plan one month in advance, so that the parliament can review and convene the population in advance, and how many people must be taken away each time they apply for recruitment.

For the first batch of manpower, Xia Duo plans to apply for 500 people. He currently has more than 200 households in his territory, with almost 700 people. There may be people from Langas coming over in the near future. 500 people is a more appropriate number.

If it is too much, it will easily dilute the good order that has been formed in the territory. If it is too small, the time cost will be somewhat uneconomical. After all, it takes a few months to go back and forth, and it cannot be shipped several times a year.

……

After returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo quickly made a plan to write the number of 500 people. This is actually very simple. The current Netheril has not yet developed a cumbersome official document system.

Basically, it is enough to write about providing houses for farming.

After finishing writing, Xia Duo used the [Pioneer Scepter] to leave his mark on the parchment, and handed it to Eberke, asking him to send it to Sevington at an appropriate time.

As for when it is suitable, just wait for Xia Duo's notification.

After doing this, Xia Duo boarded the boat back to the territory.

Now that the plan has changed, it is very likely that a group of Langas will arrive, and it will come in winter, so the house building plan needs to be readjusted.

Before, it was only planned to allocate houses to the existing residents. Now there may be another group of residents, and the number is still uncertain. Xia Duo must consider the resettlement of these people.

He felt that the territory was about to develop by a big leap, and there were never too many houses, but at the same time, he also had an uncontrollable irritability towards the forest outside.

If it was on the Kangqi Plain, it would be much easier to open up farmland than in the forest now, but if he had chosen the Kangqi Plain at the beginning, he would not have such troubles now.

There, he would only be exhausted by the attacks of orcs, gnolls, trolls, and goblins every day. For him, a loner with no background, it would only be worse.

Where there is gain, there is loss, and where there is loss, there is gain.Xia Duo didn't regret choosing the Green Pearl Forest, on the contrary, he was a little lucky. If he had gone to the Kangqi Plain, he might still be a low-level mage now, and he couldn't even save himself in that environment.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo suddenly felt much more relaxed.

……

Back in the territory, Xia Duo found Priest Layton who was checking the warehouse, "Lyden, do you still have enough supplies?"

"The food is a little low, I don't know that this time, my lord—" Layton looked at Xia Duo expectantly.

Xia Duo nodded, "That's right, I've already brought back a boatload of grain from Savile, and there's another boatload to come. I'll organize people to hunt before winter, and stockpile a batch of meat. The spring sowing after the snow melts shouldn't be a success. question."

In fact, these two shipments of grain are also the last of Savile’s food reserves, but he has already activated the production increase mode in the Tower of Time. Although it is not as good as before the orc war, it is not a problem to cook every three or two days. of.

This kind of thing can't be done often, and it's just an emergency at the moment. In fact, it is using the energy reserves of the Tower of Time and the depreciation loss of the magic circle to exchange for food, which is extremely uneconomical.

But at the moment, this is the only way to go. The situation at the Mysuo Ruins can only improve a little bit, and then return to the normal one-per-week state, so as not to delay the grain trade at Conifera, and at the same time, the Arcane Garden Income and expenditure are maintained at a relatively balanced level.

"By the way, I returned to the Tower of Time this time and got a reward from the princess."

The purpose of Xia Duo's return to the Tower of Time this time was not hidden from Leiden. After all, the princess just came to inspect three days ago.

But being rewarded by Her Royal Highness means that she has been recognized by Her Royal Highness. Although this is the recognition of the Great Xia leader, in a sense, it is also the recognition of Leiden.

Because Leiden participated in the establishment of the new order of Great Xia throughout the whole process!
At this time, even though he has always been calm, he couldn't restrain himself, and his face was full of joy, "My lord, is it true? Did you really get the reward from Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"Of course it's true, how can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing!" Xia Duo took out the [Silver Ring Badge] and handed it to Layton, "You also have a share of this badge!"

As the saying goes, there is one for me and one for you.

Xia Duo thinks that he can get this badge, and Layton has contributed a lot. If there is no Layton, then many things will need to be done by him, and the trouble will be big.

It's not that Xia Duo can't, it's that he can distinguish between priorities. At present, magic is the foundation of his life, and he shouldn't spend too much time on other aspects. He needs helpers.

This helper can be Leiden or Quedun, Laimao or Quimiao, it is not limited to whoever it is, but it must be approved by Xia Duo.

There is no doubt that Layton has done a very good job and executed his instructions perfectly. Since this is the case, Xia Duo will naturally not hesitate to share his glory.

Layton took the badge, flipped through it several times with a happy face, and finally returned it to Xia Duo, "My lord, Layton dare not take credit for it. It is all thanks to your wise leadership that the new order of the Great Xia led .”

Xia Duo chuckled, skipped the topic, and talked about the new citizens, "The princess promised that the Great Xia Territory will get the strong support of the Severton Council, and there will be population and supplies. In addition, after winter, there may be A group of people have arrived in Daxia, and the housing issue needs to be dealt with quickly."

Layton was delighted at first, and then showed a look of embarrassment, but was soon replaced by firmness, and replied loudly:

"Yes, my lord!"
