Arcane Lord

But the fact is—Chardeau is already able to make spell chips.

Although currently limited in resources, he is unable to continue manufacturing for the time being, but if someone competes for control of Misuo, even if he sells iron, he cannot let Misuo lose control.

The chip-level puzzle node, even if it is calculated according to the single energy interaction system * chip integration multiple, has higher authority than the general node.

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

However, the integrated magic chip can almost be said to be the inevitable development of magic technology in the future, and Xia Duo will not fall behind unless he continues to invest in all aspects.

Whether it is mass-produced magic items to cut leeks outside, or popularization of education in the territory, it is an investment in the future.

Run for a while before the others are exerting strength. This is called first-mover advantage, but Xia Duo has a better understanding of what is most precious in the new era!

This is 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 the time being, in terms of total population, even if the Great Xia Ling and the Savile Ling add up, they may not be the opponent of most lords in the north.

Therefore, the population policy (encourage childbirth and introduce migrants) must always be firm and unshakable!

While other lords have not realized the importance of population, population can also have a wave of first-mover advantages.

In fact, Chateau is already doing this. Savill led Hans, Slavin, Liaton, and Flash Gold to the four chambers of commerce entrusted by him to go to the north to seduce the Langas, and hunt down the slaves along the way. Color people.

It's just that this method is still too slow to come in, and it is often calculated in units of years, and it is not necessarily possible to introduce how many in a year.

As for encouraging childbirth, this is well explained in the field grant ceremony.

The amount of land granted is determined by the number of family members. For each additional person, 10 new acres will be allocated. The gold coins are linked to merit and labor. But there are more people, but not too many gold coins!

Compared with the efficiency of Savile’s four chambers of commerce, the speed of self-creation on the territory is much faster. Of course, at this stage, this also affects the progress of the development to a certain extent.

It's just that the development itself can be regarded as a process of Xia Duo's creation of territory. He does not pursue the result of the development very much. Concession to the population is a definite choice that can be made without too much consideration.

…

the next day.

Chateau invited Lord Collins to come to Savile to discuss the new situation of spice smuggling, and specifically mentioned Tove, who may be the heir of the Mooncrest family, and the elf wizard that Tove sent to discuss cooperation this time.

When Collins replied that it was noon, Chateau put the matter aside first, and then continued to contact Iolum to ask about the outcome of the negotiation between the other party and the Seven Towers.

Iolum did not reply, but Xia Duo knew from the magic feedback of Monet's background communication that the other party did not reply, but that he did not receive the message. The other party was in a place that blocked Monet's background communication.

"Perhaps something is still being discussed with the 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 magic net background communication that was sent before and is now in an uncertain state will immediately lock his characteristics (magic seal encryption point) and be received by him.

Just wait patiently, anyway, the worst result is just exposing the fact that he has become a great arcanist, which is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is very beautiful.

It's just that since then, my every move has been stared at.

…

Daxia Ling, Linshui Village.

Xia Duo walked in hiding on the brick road among the wooden houses in the residential area. Most of the bricks under her feet had cracked. Although Da Xia Ling hadn't opened up for a few years, Linshui Village could already be regarded as an old community.

People come and go, and the bricks laid in the early days can still be used, which is beyond Xia Duo's expectation.

From the first phase to the east, part of the wooden houses in the new village planning have been rebuilt, from the original whole-body timber to masonry as the base and timber as the top.

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

The bricks used for the roads near the houses have also been replaced from the khaki-colored inferior bricks in the old western area to the blue-black floor tiles similar to the Codex Square.

Stepping on such a ground, Xia Duo clearly felt a solid and heavy feeling. After stomping her feet hard, the brick body neither settled nor damaged.

This quality, compared to the first batch produced by the Territory Brick Kiln-the bricks that can be broken into two pieces when dropped on the mud, can not even be regarded as inferior, is a world apart.

Nowadays, some of the leaders who have been granted land have entered the commodity society in advance. For the territory, such high-quality bricks are only artificial products, but for the leaders in need, You need to spend money to buy it.

Xia Duo only saw two houses using this kind of bricks. Others estimated that they were unwilling to spend money on the materials of the houses. They probably thought that they could be used.

Continuing east, it is the commercial street at the junction of Linshui Village and Kaifeng Village.

Last time, when Xia Duo came here, there were some depressions due to the shortage of supplies. This time, although the time was a bit early, he did not see any depressions, but was full of vitality.

He even noticed that a new rotisserie was opened on this street!

The Territory Logistics Department has its own public canteen with a wealth of dishes. This seems a bit redundant, but it fits the current status of the Territory very well and captures the needs of the residents!

There is a canteen in the logistics department. UU read www.uukanshu.com, but most of them are big pots of rice. Although there is a bonus to the cooking skills of Xia Duoxiang, it is always tiring to eat every day.

In addition, since the number of people in the territory came up, it has been difficult to provide a source of meat through hunting. The Logistics Department has specially encircled a plot of land in the southeast of Linshui Village near the forest to raise chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

Most of the meat in the canteen of the territory is that, but the territory patrol team goes out every day to clean up the beasts, and there will always be some gains. Xia Duo doesn't value these gains, and they are handled by the territory guards themselves.

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

Chateau estimated that in the next issue of the Territory Report, we can see an overview of the revenue generated by the Territory Guard.

Regarding such changes, he will not comment for the time being. After a while, if there are no obvious disadvantages, he will fix it in the form of statutes.

…

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