Chapter 1378 Territory Inspection and Order Evolution

But the fact is-Xia Duo has been able to make spell chips.

Although he is currently limited by resources, he cannot continue to manufacture it for the time being, but if someone comes to compete for the control of the Mysuo, then even if he sells it, he cannot let the control of the Mysuo disappear.

Chip-level Mystery Nodes have higher authority than ordinary nodes, even if calculated based on a single energy interaction system*chip integration multiple.

What's more, the integrated energy interaction system has higher efficiency and will occupy higher authority in the mystery lock.

However, integrating spell chips can almost be said to be inevitable for the future development of magic technology. Only by continuing to invest in all aspects will Xia Duo not fall behind others.

Whether it is using mass-produced magic items to cut leeks outside, or popularizing education in the territory, they are investing in the future.

Running for a while while others have not exerted their strength is called first-mover advantage, but Xia Duo knows better what is the most precious thing in the new era!

It's not the first-mover advantage, but the talent and even the population!

Especially for the latter, as long as the population base is large enough and equipped with a reasonable system, enough talents can always be born. For now, in terms of total population, the Bactria Territory, even if combined with the Saville Territory, may not be the opponent of most lords in the north.

Therefore, the population policy (encouraging childbirth and introducing foreign population) must always be firm and unshakable!

Before other lords realize the importance of population, population can also give them a first-mover advantage.

In fact, Xia Duo was already doing this. Savile led four chambers of commerce, including Hans, Slavin, Liaton, and Shining Gold, on his entrustment to go to the north to seduce the Langas people, and along the way he searched for the Nai people who had been turned into slaves. Sexy people.

However, this method is still too slow to bring in people. It is often calculated on a yearly basis, and it is not necessarily possible to introduce many people in a year.

As for encouraging fertility, this is well explained in the field granting ceremony.

The amount of land granted is entirely determined by the number of people in the family. Each additional person can get 10 more new acres. Gold coins are linked to merit and labor. But if there are more people, don't there be more gold coins!

Compared with the efficiency of the four chambers of commerce in Savile Territory, the current rate of self-creation of people in the territory is much faster. Of course, at the current stage, this has also affected the development progress to a certain extent.

However, the development itself can actually be regarded as a process for Xia Duo to shape his territory. He does not pursue the results of development very much. Concession to the population is a definite choice that can be made without too much consideration.

…

the next day.

Shado invited Lord Collins to the Saville Territory to discuss the new situation of spice smuggling. He specifically mentioned Toph, who may be the heir to the Moon Crown Family, and the elf mage sent by Toph to discuss cooperation this time.

Collins replied that he would arrive at noon, so Shado put the matter aside for the time being and continued to contact Iolum to inquire about the results of the other party's discussions with the Seven Towers.

Iolum did not reply, but Shado knew from the magic feedback from the magic network background communication that the other party did not reply, but did not receive the message. The other party was in a place that blocked the magic network background communication.

"Perhaps we are still discussing something with Seven Towers!"

Xia Duo was a little worried about this result, but did not continue to send messages.

When Iolum comes out of the place where the communication is blocked, the background communication of the magic network that was sent before and is now in an uncertain state will immediately lock on his characteristics (magic mark encrypted point) and be received by him.

Just wait patiently. Anyway, the worst result is to expose the fact that you have become a Grand Arcanist. Speaking of which, this is not a bad thing, but it is extremely beautiful.

But from now on, every move he makes will be watched.

…

Daxia collar, Linshui Village.

Xia Duo walked invisibly on the brick road between the wooden houses in the residential area. Most of the bricks under his feet were cracked. Although the Daxia Territory had not actually been developed for a few years, Linshui Village could already be regarded as an old community.

People come and go, and it’s beyond Xia Duo’s expectation that the bricks laid in the early days are still in use.

From the first phase to the east, some of the wooden houses in the new village planning have begun to be renovated, from the original wooden houses to masonry-based walls and wood roofs.

The floor space has more than doubled compared to the past. Such a four-bedroom masonry and wood composite structure house is enough for a family of five to live in a decent place.

The bricks used in the roads near the house have also been changed from the low-quality earth-yellow bricks in the old district on the west side to the blue-black floor tiles similar to those in Codex Square.

Stepping on such ground, Xia Duo clearly felt a solid and heavy feeling. He stamped his feet hard several times, but the bricks neither settled nor were damaged.

This quality is completely different from the first batch of bricks produced by the territorial brick kiln - bricks that can be broken into two pieces when dropped on the mud, and are not even considered inferior.

In today's Daxia Territory, some of the territory's residents who have been granted land have already entered the commodity society ahead of schedule. For the territory, high-quality bricks like this are only artificially finished products, but for the territory's citizens in need, You need to actually spend money to buy it.

Xia Duo only saw two houses using this kind of bricks. Others probably didn't want to spend money on the materials of the houses, and they probably thought that it would be enough if they could be used.

Continuing to the east, there is a commercial street at the junction of Linshui Village and Kaituo Village.

The last time Xia Duo came here, there were some depression scenes due to the shortage of materials. This time, although it was a bit early, he did not see any depression scenes, but was full of vitality.

He even noticed that a new barbecue restaurant had opened on this street!

The Territory Logistics Department has its own public canteen with rich dishes. This may seem a bit redundant, but it is very consistent with the current situation of the Territory and captures the needs of the Territory residents!

It's true that the logistics department has a canteen, but most of it is cooked in a big pot. Although it has the bonus of Xia Duo's hometown cooking skills, you will always get tired of eating it every day.

In addition, since the number of people in the territory increased, it was difficult to provide sources of meat through hunting. The logistics department specially enclosed a piece of land near the forest in the southeast of Linshui Village and raised some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

Most of the meat in the territorial cafeteria is that, but the territorial patrols go out to clean up wild animals every day, and there will always be some harvests. Xia Duo does not attach much importance to these harvests, and they are all handled by the territorial guards themselves.

In the past, when there was no private property, most of the harvest was given directly to the logistics department. Now that many people have private property, these harvests can be sold for money.

Chateau estimates that an overview of the revenue generated by the Territory Guard will be available in the next Territory Report.

He would not comment on such changes for the time being, and would fix them in the form of a decree after a period of time, if there were no obvious disadvantages.

…

Walking all the way to the Codex Square, Xia Duo flew up and sat on the Codex sculpture. After laying down a layer of warning magic, he began to inspect the power of order in the territory.
