The original terrain was flat, and it was much easier to develop land than a forest.
The difficulty of developing there is more focused on grassland creatures. There are a large number of gnolls, trolls, orcs, and goblins there. These intelligent creatures often form groups and are difficult to deal with.
Especially the jackals and orcs, many of whom have formed tribes. It is simply a regional psoriasis. It is not easy to open up.
But that's for today's pioneers.
For senior arcanists like Xia Duo, or pioneers who were at least archmage level in the past, most of the grassland creatures that do not possess magical power are almost vulnerable to a blow!
With one spell, a piece of land can be cleared. After that, the residents only need to level the land a little, and the development is complete.
There is not much of a protection problem in the later stage. As long as the pioneers are willing to put down their posture, kill frequently, and kill often, the territory will eventually become a taboo area for grassland creatures.
It's not like in the forest, where tree roots are hidden underground one by one, and sometimes there are many rocks. Doesn't he do nothing all day long and just do these tasks?
So what's the use of leading the people?
When pioneers choose a development target, if there is a better choice, most people will not choose the forest. In addition to the difficulty of development, elves are also a very important factor.
The Green Bead Forest is already considered good. The creatures in the forest are much less common than the ordinary primitive forests, and there are no obvious disputes with the elves (which were resolved during the Savile period).
If it were any other forest, maybe a few trolls would pop out every three days and grab a few people and beat them to death. That would be a nightmare!
Almost every inch of land is developed, and an inch of blood is shed. Except for beings like the Archmage who can support it, the average high-level mage may have gone bankrupt long ago.
At a high level, you may die from various accidents during the development process before you go bankrupt.
At present, Daxia Territory can open up 1,500 new acres of arable land every month. If word spreads, even the pioneers on the plains will be very envious!
This level of disparity can no longer be explained solely by the enthusiasm of the people, but also by the superiority of the organizational system.
Although they are simply divided into groups, everyone has their own position, authority, and clear division of labor to ensure that everyone and every force can be fully utilized.
Not to mention the linkage between groups and the overall arrangements from a higher perspective, which have brought unprecedented development speed to the development department.
If the tools were not so backward, if they were replaced with various modern construction machinery, so many people might be able to open up the entire Green Pearl Forest in a few days.
Putting back those divergent thoughts, Xia Duo knocked on the armrest next to the chair, and then gave the latest instructions:
"If an additional 1,500 acres are added every month, the number of people who will be granted land each month will be controlled at around 100. Half of them will be granted land according to the new village plan, and the other half will be granted land to be developed next month. No more than two people will be granted land at the latest.
moon!"
It would certainly be possible if all the land was actually granted, but Xia Duo still chose to grant the land for development in advance.
The reason for doing this is not only to take care of the face of Leiden and others, but more importantly, he needs such a relatively short-term [promise-fulfillment] process.
Similar to "raising" a credit card on earth, in the process of "borrowing money and paying back money", the card owner's credit standing with the bank will automatically improve.
But Xia Duo did this not to cash out after "maintaining the card", but really to improve credibility and stabilize order and people's hearts!
When land is actually granted every month, it is not intolerable for the other half to wait an extra month. For this delay, Xia Duo will also pay a certain amount of extra gold coins.
This not only transferred wealth downwards and provided assistance for the construction of the territory's business environment, but also demonstrated the rigorous side of Daxia's order that combined leniency with strictness.
Through these small things, we can continue to "cultivate" the trust of the territory, lords, and laws in the hearts of the people. Only in the future will we be able to gain the trust of the people in major events.
In the words of the earth, this is called - "effectively improving the government's credibility"!
Violent rule will surely be overthrown by more violent ones; and once order (people's hearts) is formed, it will last forever.
Since he is determined to create a true magical civilization, Shado will naturally pay more attention to the step-by-step carving process of the power of order, so that it will not deviate from the right path.
…
After the regular meeting of the various ministries in the territory, Xia Duo returned to the study, unfolded the arcane fire, and began to cast spells to sense the power of order.
In the past few days after the promulgation of the "Code of Ethics for the Territorial Citizens of Daxia", he checked the status of the Force of Order almost every day and promoted the Force of Order to build an order cycle.
Although his current research on the various influencing factors of the Power of Order is still at a rudimentary level and he cannot accurately correlate changes in the territorial order with changes in the Power of Order, it is still right to collect more data.
After today's regular meeting, the relevant work has not yet been fully launched, but Xia Duo still feels that the power of order has changed.
In fact, he had never seen any kind of power of order with the same results after two consecutive inspections. He even doubted whether it was his own observation and perception that caused the change in the power of order.
After all, he can't "see" the power of order directly yet. He can only indirectly perceive it through magic. If something happens in the meantime, he can't be sure.
…
Soon, Shado stopped the spell. Research on the power of order is a long-term process. A letter has been sent from Severdon, and the joint meeting of the Grand Arcanists will be held in ten days.
Unless from now on, he does nothing every day and only casts the spell that builds the order cycle, there is only a slight chance that he can complete the automatic cycle of [Moral Code and Power of Order] before heading to Sevington.
Although Xia Duo is very interested in the power of faith, he is not willing to do this for ten days without doing anything else.
The research on the power of faith was only classified as [Important, Not Urgent] in his plan, and the priority was very low. He would just do it casually, but if he did it specifically, the gain would outweigh the loss.
What's more, indirectly understanding the power of faith by controlling the [Power of Moral Code and Order] is just a guess on his part. Whether it is feasible or not remains to be seen!
How can you just bet on this while you are not doing your business?
…
After writing the observation record of the power of order, Xia Duo cast another spell to check the working status of the citizens, and then returned to the Tower of Time with satisfaction.
The transformation experiment of the yellow sand demiplane is proceeding in an orderly manner, but the upper limit of today's transformation has been reached. Xia Duo is not going to waste time by continuing to enter the demiplane, but is ready to check the transformation of the demiplane in the ether.
State changes in the layer.
To put it simply, Xia Duo was studying the demiplane inside the demiplane before, but now he is studying outside the demiplane.
In other words, it was more microscopic before, but now it is macroscopic.
