Chapter 1137 Commercial soil, a new generation of happiness
It was the third day of April in the year 837 of the Nese calendar.
At this time, the coldness of the severe winter had gradually dissipated, and the wind of recovery blew successively from the south, quietly awakening this land that had been frozen for months.
In the early morning of this morning, the citizens of Daxia Territory set out from their homes early and marched in groups along the footpath on the south bank of Linshui River towards Codex Square.
The first batch of land grant recipients in the territory became the most talked about topic among the people of the territory along the way.
"I really envy Lille and the others! From now on, you can get paid for your work!"
"What's the salary? I heard that someone has already started planning to open the first batch of stores in the territory! Once the stores are opened, it won't be a lot of money!"
"Is it true? There is not a single store in the territory right now. If the first store really appears, you can really make money just lying down!"
As soon as they heard the words "you can make money even while lying down", the group of people immediately exclaimed in admiration. Perhaps it was because there was too much movement here. Someone in front of the group suddenly turned around and shouted:
"I think too much. Even if there is a store, who will buy it? You? Do you have money?"
As soon as these words came out, the group behind them were stunned. If they thought about it carefully, this was really the case. If they had money, they would not come to Daxia to get it.
Furthermore, now that the territory includes food and accommodation, if you want to spend money, where can you spend it?
Could it be that only those who are allocated the land can open their own shops and consume their own goods? Or will other people also be able to earn wages in the future?
I couldn't think about it, so I simply stopped thinking about it. But seeing the proud look of the person in front, the group behind couldn't help but spit:
"You are such a shady kid. We all came to the territory before you. This time it was Lille and the others. Maybe it will be our turn next time. Just be envious!"
"You--you!"
The man in front was choked and wanted to talk back, but seven or eight people behind him were staring at him. The guy immediately didn't dare to say anything. He snorted and walked faster towards the east.
…
Linshui Village, Lord's Villa, meeting room on the first floor.
Shado and Niya sat in two seats next to each other, and in the center of the conference room was a real-time image projected using the detection spell.
At this time, Niya suddenly pointed at a person in the image and asked curiously: "Are the shops they mentioned real? Is there really someone who wants to open a shop in Daxia Ling?"
"How do I know? It might be true!" Xia Duo smiled.
What he said is not a lie. The Daxia Code contains complete commercial laws and tax laws. As long as you operate in accordance with the law and pay taxes in accordance with the law, Xia Duo does not care who does this!
"However, it doesn't matter if you open a few shops. Now that there are nearly 10,000 people in the territory, I still rely on me to maintain food and clothing. It is indeed a bit inappropriate. A few more shops should make the territory more dynamic!"
Of course, it is also beneficial to the power of order such as commercial law and tax law.
After hearing Xia Duo's answer, Niya still did not resolve her doubts and continued to ask: "Then who will spend it? Where will the money come from?"
"The field granting ceremony is not just about dividing the fields, I will also settle their wages for following my pioneering work so far. Taking into account their merits, everyone can get a lot of money!
"Although the first batch of land grant recipients is only about fifty people, including their families, the number is quite large. In addition, starting from today, territorial civil servants will be paid."
In Netheril, after a lord successfully develops land, he will usually allocate land to those close to him. This land granting in Shado is different. It is almost a country-within-a-country approach, similar to the relationship between each territory and Netheril.
But Xia Duo is not prepared to do this. The land allocation will only be calculated based on the head of the family. The land allocated to everyone is the same size. Therefore, in other aspects, one or two subsidies are needed.
As for paying salaries to civil servants, the Territorial Guard had already begun to receive wages in the past. Of course, the origin of this was that the original Territorial Guard came from the Saville Territory.
Later, although the number of guards increased, most of them were citizens of the Great Xia Territory, and they still had the tradition of paying wages. Now the wages paid to other civil servants are nothing more than a bowl of water.
And not only will wages be paid from now on, Xia Duo will also make up for all the unpaid wages based on their "service length".
In this way, the territory has a group of people with stable incomes, and there is a soil for commercial development. Even if Xia Duo does not deliberately support it, those flexible-minded territory residents can easily develop.
"When all the people in the territory are granted land, I will allow the Chamber of Commerce of Savile Territory to enter the Daxia Territory!"
However, Niya is not very interested in the Chamber of Commerce. She just asked because of curiosity. Now that her doubts are gone, she doesn't care about the Chamber of Commerce or not!
"How long until the ceremony starts?"
"Don't worry, we can start now. Leiden will send someone to notify us!"
After saying that, Xia Duo adjusted the projection range of the detection spell perception field and fixed it at a position about 50 meters diagonally above the Codex Square.
Viewed from this angle, the entire square has an unobstructed view without losing too many details due to the distance.
At this moment, nearly half of the people were standing sparsely in the square, and residents were still pouring in to the west and south of the square.
However, unlike the people on the way here, who were the protagonists of chatting and joking, in Codex Square, the young men wearing the robes of the Tower of Time are more like the real protagonists!
Almost every boy was surrounded by at least one or two adults, chatting cautiously but excitedly. It was obvious that this was the family of the new apprentices of the Tower of Time.
Occasionally, there will be a few young people with out-of-character personalities who can't help but perform tricks in public.
It's really a magic trick. Not only does the spell only touch the surface of the magic net, but more importantly, the form is exactly like the circus tricks used to amuse children.
Sometimes it turns into a little flower, sometimes it makes the onlookers' hair shiny, and sometimes it shoots several fireworks into the sky.
In the end, except for a few more mature and cautious teenagers, the other teenagers couldn't help but join in and compete to "fight"!
"It's great to be young!"
Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.
When he was learning magic, because of Mu Yan's support, he didn't feel much pressure in his studies, but more pressure from the external environment.
The new generation in the real-time image of the Detection Spell is so happy. The external environment puts almost no pressure on them. Although they are more nervous about learning, it is not much pressure. It depends more on personal choice.
Those who are interested in further studies in the field of magic will naturally take the initiative to ask for increased pressure and are willing to do so; and those who do not want to further their studies in the field of magic do exist, but at the young apprenticeship stage, they are still very few.
Almost every teenager has the dream of becoming a great mage.
