Turning the page again shows the first batch of materials prepared by the Liadon Chamber of Commerce for the development of Daxia Territory - food, herbs, clothes, tools, etc.
Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the final price. It was only a few hundred gold coins, but the food only had semolina, no meat, oil, salt or anything like that.
It seems to be for ordinary people to eat.
Looking through it again, there is the development plan at the end. Xia Duo took a rough look at it. In the general direction, it was not very different from his plan. There were only some details. Xia Duo was not a native and it was difficult to take them into consideration. I wrote them here.
Seeing that Chateau had read all the documents, Mrs. Patty asked: "Sir, is the plan feasible?"
"Okay, let's make these preparations for the time being. You can make adjustments when there are any changes in the territory." Shado returned the document to Arman and said, "If possible, prepare some crossbows."
"this--"
Mrs. Patty was a little embarrassed, "Sir, if it's just an ordinary weapon, the Lyadon Chamber of Commerce can still get it, but the crossbow is exclusive to the territory and no one else can interfere."
In fact, it is more than this. The Liaton Chamber of Commerce is not an ordinary chamber of commerce. It does not sell physical items, but the relationship with Conifera City. It is only because of some recent changes that Mrs. Patty is willing to transform.
All the supplies shown to Xia Duo before were temporary purchases. It was not easy to raise these in just two or three days.
Chateau was speechless at Mrs. Patty's explanation. At the same time, he was thankful that it was Savile Territory, where most materials and even people could be collected.
If we go to develop near Kangqi City, which is designated by the princess, not only will the wilderness be dangerous, but there will also be no support nearby, so it will be too difficult.
"By the way." Xia Duo suddenly remembered, "What about the 20 new residents? Where are they now?"
If nothing else, these people are his first team members.
"Sir, the Chamber of Commerce has arranged for people to teach them how to survive in the forest, fight, and how to plant. If you want to see them, I will ask them to come over immediately." Arman said quickly.
"No, don't worry, train them well. The most important thing is obedience!"
"Sir, most of those people are porters on the dock. They are the most hard-working and obey orders."
"I hope so." Xia Duo didn't say much.
If those people were really so hard-working and obedient to orders, they wouldn't think of exploring new territories with him. It was just a change of status that made Xia Duo need their obedience.
Next, while waiting for the Leiden priest, Chateau and Arman began to discuss the problems that would be encountered in developing the territory.
He found that Arman was really a good person. If Mrs. Patty hadn't been there, he would have wanted to recruit him directly.
But the days are long and there will always be opportunities.
…
Chateau and Steward Arman were having a very lively conversation. After a while, Mrs. Patty's housekeeper ran in panting, "Mr. Master, Madam, Priest Leiden is here."
As soon as he spoke, Xia Duo saw a sturdy young man running in from the door of the manor. From the looks of it, he was not dressed like a clergyman, but rather like an adventurer.
Wearing an old leather armor, with a one-handed sword hanging on his waist.
However, on the front of the leather armor, Xia Duo saw the holy symbol of the Lord of Glory, and in his magical vision, the man running towards him was covered with a layer of holy light.
It is very similar to Bishop Ambril that Shado had met before, except that the intensity of the holy light was different.
Really a priest!
Chateau quickly stood up, walked out of the villa, and greeted him, while Mrs. Patty and Arman followed closely behind. No matter what, people in the temple should not neglect them.
"Are you Master Xia Duo? My future master?" Priest Leiden said calmly as he trotted over, but what he said surprised Xia Duo.
Are you joining the Great Xia Kingdom now? But I haven’t agreed yet! Xia Duo first bowed and showed respect to the waiter of the Lord of Glory, and then said:
"Priest Leiden, I heard that you want to participate in the development of Daxia Territory?"
"Yes, Lord!" Priest Leiden said seriously.
"No, wait a minute." Xia Duo quickly interrupted him, "The Great Xia Territory does not exist yet! You don't need to call me lord. Also, why do you want to participate in the development of the Great Xia Territory? Savile Territory
Don’t you also want to pioneer? Why choose me?”
Priest Leiden's expression became solemn, and his face glowed with holy light, "My Lord is the Lord of Glory and the Lord of Order. What else can please my Lord more than establishing a law from scratch!"
Hearing the last sentence, Xia Duo's hair stood up. It seemed like he had heard this sentence somewhere before. If he added a sentence to break the old order before establishing order, it would be even more familiar.
This is simply a must-have slogan for rebellion!
Fortunately, Xia Duo has read the "Holy Proverbs of the Lord of Glory" many times, and he has a fairly good understanding of the teachings of the Lord of Glory.
There is no breaking of the old order, only the establishment of order and the maintenance of order. In a narrow sense, it means maintaining the rule of the lord.
As for whether the lord is competent or not, it doesn't care.
"Proverbs" clearly mentions, "obey the law", "do not doubt the decision of the superior", "serve the superior sincerely", etc.
After all, if it weren't for this kind of teaching, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so popular in Netheril.
Even though the caster is already the absolute ruler of the empire, the belief in the Goddess of Magic is far less widespread than that of the Lord of Radiance.
Almost from top to bottom, even in a small village in a remote area, there may be a shrine of the Lord of Glory in it.
After understanding that this Leiden priest was a believer in the Lord of Glory, Xia Duo felt much less worried. The more someone believed in him, the more he could deceive him.
Of course, you can't get away with it. You must grasp the other party's belief status and understanding of the doctrine. Otherwise, if the other party thinks that he is an obstacle to order, it will be tragic to give him a just trial.
Fortunately, this possibility is extremely small. At least in the books of Mage Tower, Xia Duo has never seen any lord killed by the clergy of the Lord of Glory.
On the contrary, countless people died in order to maintain order and maintain the lord's notice.
To put it bluntly, Xia Duo is worried that the other party's faith is not deep. If he is a believer, then there will be no problem.
If he is just an ordinary priest who sneaks into the team and does not even have the power of divine magic, then Xia Duo will definitely not be needed. Having an ordinary person like him is not beneficial to the overall situation, but missing him as a temple member can save a lot of trouble.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the temple is very authoritative, and the temple is indeed a good helper for the lord to rule the people, but if it goes against the lord, it will not be beautiful.
After confirming that Priest Leiden had magical power and was unlikely to lie in front of the Holy Light, Sha Duo finally showed a smile on his face.
He looked at Leiden's firm eyes, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. With Leiden, he could not only popularize the authority of the lord to the people in the territory, but also treat the wounded and participate in battles.
This is simply an all-around model worker delivered to your door!
Chateau took Leiden's wrist and invited him into the living room, "With the participation of Priest Leiden, the development of Daxia Territory will definitely be smoother!"
