Chapter 1423 Territorial Inspection, Preparatory Territory System
The next day, the sun was just right.
Xia Duo and Niya rode two Pegasus together in the sky above the Daxia Territory. Some of the Territory residents had already started the autumn harvest, and the golden wheat ears looked like sections of golden carpet when viewed from the sky.
Since the land was granted in early April this year, the six new villages separated from Linshui Village have also appeared particularly bright in the sky.
Neat and uniform houses, surrounding farmland, and a few children playing on the edge of the farmland.
In Xia Duo's opinion, if these houses were not still a little crude, the roads had not yet been completely consolidated, and agricultural machinery had not yet appeared in the farmland, this would almost be the new countryside of his hometown.
Looking at such a scene, Xia Duo was in a good mood, but further away, not even one tenth of the green-yellow-mottled Green Pearl Forest in autumn had been developed and utilized.
Viewed from a high altitude, Daxia Territory is just a small depression in the forest.
“The future is promising!”
At this moment, Shado's heart was racing, but further away in the forest, in the east, there was a Cormanthor who was eyeing Netheril.
Thinking of this, my originally good mood suddenly cast a shadow again.
At this time, Xia Duo noticed that several familiar figures had walked out of the Government Affairs Hall and were waiting at the door, so his idea of continuing to play faded away, and he greeted Niya and said:
"Go down, Layton has discovered us, let Abel and Pamela play by themselves."
"good."
Niya responded and urged the two Pegasus to land with Shado. Pamela was okay and had a docile temperament. Even after hearing that she could play on her own, she still maintained her grace and descended slowly.
But Abel was different. Perhaps because of its seriousness of play, it made a vertical dive directly for Shado. When it landed, it set off a huge gust of wind, which scattered Leiden and others waiting at the door of the Government Affairs Hall.
.
"You guy!"
Xia Duo made a move to slap Abel on the big head, but unexpectedly, the guy quickly avoided it, then raised his wings and flew into the air, grazing Xia Duo's body.
After flying into the sky, he turned around and neighed triumphantly at Xia Duo, just like a naughty child playing crazy tricks. You won't know how powerful your parents are until you get home.
According to Xia Duo's temperament, Abel needs to be disciplined like this, but Niya loves the two pegasus very much, and Niya usually takes care of them more, so Xia Duo just lets her go.
But in this situation today, I must teach you a lesson when I go back, otherwise I won’t be so domineering next time!
…
"Leiden, Cade, Jaco, long time no see!"
After Abel flew away, Shado, Leiden and others said hello, and after Niya landed on Pamela, the five of them walked into the Government Affairs Hall together.
At this time, the Government Affairs Department is no longer what it used to be. There are only a few clerks here to assist Leiden in working. In the current Government Affairs Department, when Xia Duo came in, he saw seven or eight clerks in the offices of various ministries.
Shuttle back and forth.
In the conference room, the five people sat down separately. Before Xia Duo could speak, Jeff, Gibb, Atwood and others arrived who had received the news.
"Since there are so many people here, let's talk about it. Jiaco, you come first!"
"Yes, sir."
Being the first to be called upon, Jaco might have started lying before, but now he is no longer the same person after being tempered by territorial affairs for so long.
He was well aware of the importance of the territory's population, and also knew the importance of the matters he was in charge of in the hearts of the lords, so he immediately introduced:
"In the past six months, the Resettlement Department of the Territory has cooperated with the four chambers of commerce in Savile Territory to rescue 1,456 slaves from the northern river territory, and the vast majority of them have been converted into citizens of the Territory of Bactria.
"
"Directly transformed into a citizen?" Xia Duo asked curiously.
The rules he had set before did not allow people to be freed from slavery directly, which would inevitably lead to things like "promoting favor and fighting for favor", and one had to accumulate merit to be able to escape.
Could it be that Layton and others have come up with some innovative policies?
"That's right, my lord!"
Layton explained: "The apprentice whose territory is in the Tower of Time came back and talked about the system of entering the Tower of Time into the academy. We all agreed that it can be applied to the management of the territory's citizens. The rescued slaves were indeed directly transformed into the territory's citizens, but they were
It is a preparatory subject and must be converted into a formal subject by accumulating merit as before."
"I see!"
Xia Duo nodded, indicating his approval.
This is fine, but if we still call those people "slaves", it may cause discrimination and division within the people of the territory. It would be good to call them "preparatory people of the territory".
Everyone is a citizen, it’s just a matter of first come, first served.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo thought of another question, "The four Chambers of Commerce in Savile Territory have made good progress in the Langas Plain. A large number of Langas people may join the territory in the near future. All new members who join the territory in the future will
They are all classified into the [preparatory citizenship] sequence, and can be converted into formal citizenship status after completing literacy, legal and other education."
"Are they all like this? Doesn't that mean they are regarded as slaves?" Jako was suddenly surprised.
But as soon as he said these words, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly explained: "I mean, if the subsequent territorial residents have to go through a preparatory and regularization process, will they have any opinions on the territory?"
"No! Territory development is almost complete. There will be more development in the future. Naturally, latecomers cannot sit back and enjoy the fruits of predecessors' development without any cost. Besides -"
Having said this, Xia Duo paused deliberately, glanced around the faces of everyone in the conference room, and then said: "Do you really think that the new territorial residents will be able to adapt to life in the territory as soon as they arrive?
“The process of literacy and law learning allows them to integrate into the territory as quickly as possible.
"As for accumulating merit and becoming a positive person, it can still be retained as a last channel for the weak. However, literacy and the process of learning the Fa must be followed. The speed of becoming a positive person can be faster than accumulating merit.
"Another point is that craftsmen and some special talents can be promoted to regular jobs in advance as appropriate, but they must pass the literacy and legal assessments within a specified time. You can decide the specific time yourself. I just mentioned this."
In fact, Xia Duo's setting was based on certain foreign population introduction plans on Earth. Needless to say, in the future, even in the current Daxia Territory, the people there have already widened the gap with other territories.
At least in Netheril currently, no territory has a higher literacy rate than Great Xia!
In addition, the Daxia Code is deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is not only order, but also includes education in concepts of good and evil, abstract perception, logical thinking, etc.
The impact of familiarity with a code goes beyond simply recognizing the words in it.
How can the migrant population integrate into such a more civilized group without going through a preparatory process of becoming a regular official!
