Chapter 1728 Wealth Transfer, Art Lectures

Of course, what Xia Duo wanted to do was not only show the people of Savile Territory the new life in Daxia Territory, but actually attract the villagers of Savile Territory in the north to come here to work.

After the land was granted to the citizens of Daxia, each person was allocated 10 new acres of land, regardless of age. This actually triggered a fertility frenzy. Coupled with the promotion of intensive farming, without advanced agricultural machinery, people who wanted to plant Well, these fields are actually very short of people.

Of course, Daxia Territory residents can ask for help in the territory, and even set up cooperatives, but Xia Duo has not yet approved the establishment of cooperatives in the territory, and has also stipulated the minimum wage standard in the territory.

Obviously it's more cost-effective to hire people from outside, and the only outsiders here are from Savileland.

Xiaduo spent money to subsidize agriculture and other industries, transferring wealth to the people of Daxia, and at the same time, through recruiting workers, it continued to be transferred to the people of Saville, so that wealth would continue to be transferred to ordinary people.

This is of course not for free. In the future, these people will be the stable consumer group for the Tower of Time's mass-produced magic items.

Everyone yearns for a better life. If wealth is not transferred downwards, how much money can ordinary people save in their lifetime to buy expensive magic items?

Without a huge market and huge user usage data, the development of magic items would be in stagnant water, and the so-called industry would be impossible to talk about.

Of course, Xia Duo also likes the feeling of accumulating wealth bit by bit, but he knows better that illicit wealth is no different from stones. Only circulating wealth is real wealth.

…

Regarding some details of attracting people from Savile Territory to work in Daxia Territory, Xia Duo felt that it was necessary to pay more attention to it, especially since the two places must be integrated in the future, and the people of the original Savile Territory must not feel that they have suffered a disadvantage.

But at the same time, we should not give too much preferential treatment, otherwise it would be unfair to the current citizens.

The scale needs to be carefully grasped.

Nowadays, Xia Duo is more and more able to understand the feeling of the senior officials in his hometown. As a policy maker, every move made by the source will be magnified and exaggerated down below.

Therefore, it is reasonable that various policies tend to be more stable and conservative.

"By the way, Layton, what do you think of art?"

"Art?"

Leiden rubbed his head and even thought he heard wrongly. The lord actually talked to him about art? It took a while to react:

"Sir, do you mean the Territory Department of Culture and Education?"

"That's about right. I've seen the response of the new drama among the people. There are also general education materials, which are also very effective, but the cultural and educational work can be more extensive."

"My lord, you said——"

"Let me mention two points for now. One is the Enlightenment School. You have also received the "Enlightenment Book" jointly compiled by the Tower of Time and the Ministry of Culture and Education. The knowledge in it that does not involve specific details of magic can be placed in the Enlightenment School. In the future, the new assessment of Time Tana may be more inclined to select young people of the right age who are interested in developing into the field of magic.”

Of course, this is only the first step. Shado's future plan is to separate all apprenticeship education and production and manufacturing-related content from the Tower of Time, turning the Tower of Time into a serious "research institute."

Education is the responsibility of schools at all levels, such as the Enlightenment School, which is currently being prepared, and even the primary schools, middle schools, and universities that will follow.

Of course, the production and manufacturing are handled by specialized factories, which eliminates the need for everyone to be crowded together like now.

In Xia Duo's plan, only by becoming an arcanist can one have the opportunity to apply to join the academy, and the academy is undoubtedly the highest palace of territorial magic research.

Of course, arcanists can also choose to start their own businesses, as long as they still belong to the Daxia order.

"The second one is to hold a lecture on Elf Art. It doesn't need to be very advanced. At least it is to let the people know what Elf Art is like and have a concept in their mind."

The artistic achievements of elves are extremely high. Even if Xia Duo has already regarded elves as future competitors, he will not deny this. Now that the living standards of the people in the territory are improving day by day, the spiritual civilization must also keep up in time.

Compared with the new life that is different from the past, Xia Duo is not worried about his subjects becoming elves. At the same time, he also hopes that his subjects can learn something from the elf art!

If there is imitation, it doesn't matter. As long as it is not a blind pursuit, Shado will even encourage people to imitate elven art.

After all, humans and elves are not the same species, their social development is also different, and their aesthetic development must also be different.

In the process of imitation and social aesthetics, the public will eventually discover aesthetic concepts that are more suitable for the current era and social development.

In this process, Xia Duo will also participate in guidance. After all, he will not let his subjects become a group of elves, but will guide them to "take the essence and discard the dross" and develop aesthetics and art that surpass the elves.

Of course, this is a long and arduous task, but you can start preparing now.

…

After listening to Shado's instructions, Leiden couldn't help but hesitate, "The Enlightenment School is easy to handle. Just revamp the night school a little and find some teachers from the Tower of Time. But as far as I know, the lectures on Elf Art are Not many people in the territory have actually seen elves, let alone explained the art of elves.”

"This is indeed a problem."

Xia Duo felt that it was really difficult to raise this question now, but he was not ready to give up. After thinking about it, he said:

"We can hold a few exhibitions of daily necessities for elves first. Later, you can send someone to the Tower of Time supplies department and I will inform them."

It’s not easy to get real elven art for the time being, and Xia Duo doesn’t want to spend that wasted money, but Tower of Time has a lot of elven daily necessities, some of which are collected by the Savile family, and some are bought for daily use. of.

For example, the deck chair in the study on the top floor of the Tower of Time, although it is a very common daily necessities to the elves, but to the vast majority of Nese people who have never seen a deck chair, it can already be regarded as a work of art.

Let’s hold a few exhibitions of daily necessities for elves first, and maybe we can promote the upgrading of daily necessities in the territory!

It's not that Nese craftsmen can't do many things, it's just that they can't use them (so exquisite) or didn't expect (that they can be done that way).

Under normal circumstances, they have no access to elves' things. Now if they are given the opportunity, will they just look at it with curiosity?

…

The art lecture turned into an exhibition of daily necessities, and the difficulty dropped by more than one level. Leiden had no reason to refuse, "Sir, I will start preparations tomorrow to ensure that the task is completed."

"Very good. If we accumulate more experience, we may not have the opportunity to bring our exhibition to the Elf Kingdom in the future!"

Xia Duo encouraged him a little, and then said: "By the way, do you have time to ask Lawrence if he is willing to go to the Akora Kingdom for further training?"

"Study further in Akora Kingdom?"

Leiden is also someone who has read the "Book of Enlightenment", so he naturally knows that the Kingdom of Akora is a small elf country in the east of Netheril, between Netheril and Cormanthor.

Lawrence is now the actual person in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Education. Of course, aside from this identity, he is also a famous bard, known as the "Wild Poetry", and has a collection of works including "The Epic of Kilan". Representative works.
