Arcane Lord

After discussing the ship issue, Xia Duo talked about the recruitment of citizens that he had previously ordered them to do. Previously, only Slavin Chamber of Commerce brought back dozens of slaves to Xia Duo, and there were no free people who migrated here normally.

Therefore, at that time, Xia Duo thought of the Langas, these barbarians in the eyes of the Nese people. He actually had no discrimination in this regard. It would not necessarily be a bad thing if they could be introduced in large numbers.

It's just that so much time has passed and there is no news at all. Just thinking about it makes people anxious.

Of course, considering the distance between the Northland and the Saville Territory, Shado would not be too harsh. He just asked again, "President Fleck asked you to go to the north to recruit Langas people. Is there any news?"

Fleck looked confused at first, but he quickly reacted and looked at Mrs. Patty subconsciously. Mrs. Patty also responded in time: "My lord, long-distance communication is not easy. The news was just sent back at the beginning of last month. They have already communicated with Mrs. Patty." The Langas are in contact, and winter is about to begin. If any Langas are willing to migrate, news will come soon. "

"Very good!" Xia Duo tapped his fingers on the table, "From now on, recruiting Langas people will become a common practice in Daxia. I see your efforts and I will not let you down."

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

Afterwards, after Xia Duo discussed some specific details with a few people about transporting the people and recruiting Langas people, he returned to the Tower of Time.

There is one task that he can start preparing now, which is to submit a recruitment plan for territorial citizens to the Sevington Parliament, including the expected number of recruits and future arrangements for them.

According to Archmage Greta, Shado must submit the plan one month in advance so that the council can review and gather the population in advance, and each time he applies to recruit, he must take as many people as he wants.

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

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

…

After returning to the Tower of Time, Shado quickly made a plan and wrote down the number of 500 people. This was actually very simple. Netheril had not yet developed a cumbersome official document system.

Basically, just write that it provides housing and is used for farming.

After finishing writing, Shado used the [Pioneer Scepter] to leave his mark on the parchment, gave it to Aibok, and asked him to send it to Sevington at the appropriate time.

As for when is the right time, we will have to wait for Xia Duo's notification.

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

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

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

He felt that the territory was about to undergo a huge development, and there were never too many houses. However, at the same time, he also felt uncontrollably irritable about the forest outside.

If it were in the Kangchi Plain, it would be much easier to open farmland than in the forest now. But if he had chosen the Kangchi Plain in the first place, he wouldn't have such troubles now.

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

Where there are gains there must be losses, and where there are losses there must be gains. Xia Duo did not regret choosing the Green Bead Forest. Instead, he was a little lucky. If he had gone to the Kangqi Plain, he might still be a junior mage now and would not even be able to survive in that environment.

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

…

Returning to the territory, Shado found Priest Leiden who was taking stock of the warehouse and asked, "Leiden, are there enough supplies?"

"The food is a little short. I don't know if this time, sir-" Leiden looked at Xia Duo expectantly.

Xia Duo nodded, "Yes, I have brought back a boatload of food from Savile Tie, and there will be another boatload later. Before winter, I will organize people to hunt and reserve a batch of meat to support the spring sowing after the snow melts. question."

In fact, these two shipments of food are also the last food stored by Savileland, but he has started the production increase mode in the Tower of Time. Although it is not as mature as before the Orc War, it can be cooked every three or two days, which is still no problem. of.

This kind of thing cannot be done often. It is only for emergencies at the moment. In fact, the energy reserves of the Tower of Time and the depreciation loss of the magic circle are used to exchange for food. This is extremely uneconomical.

But that's all we can do now. We can only improve the situation in the Mysterious Ruins a little and return to the normal once-a-week state, so as not to delay the food trade in Conifera, and at the same time, the Arcane Garden's food trade will not be delayed. Revenue and expenditure were 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."

Shado's purpose of returning to the Tower of Time was not hidden from Leiden. After all, the princess just came for inspection three days ago, and it was only natural for him, the inspected person, to go back and inquire for information.

But being able to receive a reward from Her Highness the Princess means that she has been recognized by Her Highness the Princess. Although this is recognition of the Great Xia leader, in a sense, it is also recognition of Leiden.

Because Leiden participated in the establishment of the new order in Daxia!

At this time, even though he had always been calm, he could not restrain himself and beamed with joy, "Sir, is it true? Have you really received a reward from Your Highness the Princess?"

"Of course it's true, why would I talk nonsense about such a thing!" Sha Duo took out the [Silver Ring Badge] and handed it to Leiden, "You also have a share of this badge!"

As the saying goes, the military medal has my share and yours.

Xia Duo thought that he could get this badge, and Leiden's contribution was quite large. Without Leiden, he would have to do many things personally, which would be a big trouble.

It's not that Xia Duo can't, but that he can distinguish the priorities. Currently, magic is his foundation, and he shouldn't spend too much time on other aspects. He needs helpers.

This helper can be Leiden or Qudun, Lai Xiang or Qu Xiu. It is not limited to who it is, but it must be approved by Sha Duo.

There is no doubt that Leiden did a good job and carried out his instructions perfectly. In this case, Shado would naturally not hesitate to share his glory.

Leiden took the badge, looked through it several times with a happy face, and finally returned it to Sha Duo, "Sir, Leiden doesn't dare to take credit. It is all thanks to your wise leadership that there will be a new order in Daxia." ”

Xia Duo chuckled, skipped the topic, and talked about the new people, "The princess promised that the Great Xia Territory can get strong support from the Severnton Council, and there will be people and supplies. In addition, after winter, there may be A group of territorial residents have arrived in Daxia Territory, and the housing issue needs to be addressed. "

Leiden was happy at first, then showed a hint of embarrassment, but was soon replaced by determination, and replied loudly:

"Yes, sir!"
