"Alas, if you simply believe in a certain idea, can you gain holy power?"

In the quiet study, Xia Duo simply put down his pen and thought about this question seriously, but after thinking for a while, he felt that it was meaningless to just dream, and he still had to conduct specific experiments to know.

Next, Xia Duo met with some key people in the territory one after another, such as the Death Priest Mott, Simon and Merry of the Territory Guard, and the head of the brick kiln, Jaco, etc., to learn about the current situation of the territory through them.

After all, yesterday's inspection was a bit hasty, and today is the official debriefing report of the relevant personnel, Xia Duo listened carefully to their statements, summaries, and conducted targeted questions and answers on many issues, and finally gave instructions one by one.

By the end of the afternoon, Xia Duo had a very detailed understanding of the current situation in the territory, as if he had been staying in the territory all along.

However, he also realized that with the gradual expansion of the territory, the affairs of the territory will become more and more complicated, and it is a bit out of place for the lord to grasp all the affairs in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Chado felt that it was time to appoint a formal territorial magistrate!

……

With a political officer, or more accurately, a secretary to assist him, Chardo could more easily manage his territory, focusing primarily on the overall situation, while devoting the extra time to magical research or other personal matters.

"High in the Sky"

"When the upcoming batch of new consuls is properly settled, they will be appointed immediately!" Xia Duo silently made a decision.

The next group of people will be sent by Belella's fleet, her fleet has just left Severton, this trip has carried more than 700 people, and it will arrive in about a little more than a month, and with the territorial magistrate, she can also deal with it calmly.

And not only that, Belera also helped Xia Duo contact other fleets, but due to the schedule problems of other fleets, and the timing of the Severington Council to convene the new lords, etc., he has not been able to leave yet.

But their stamina is very strong.

There would probably be thousands of people in one batch, and it would be more frequent than it is now, and with the other affairs of the territory, Leyden alone would not be able to keep himself busy without appointing other governors.

Similarly, in order to cope with the large-scale production of communication magic devices in the near future, the Tower of Time also needs to make corresponding adjustments in advance.

Xia Duo's mind was full of thoughts, and his pen continued to write and draw, and in a few moments, a rough list of the appointments to the realm and the Tower of Time appeared on the paper.

……

The next morning, five cargo ships full of new consultes docked at the dock of Linshui Village, but due to the narrow river and the small size of the wharf, the five ships could only dock one by one.

Although this extended the time for receiving the new leaders, it also made the scene much more refreshing, and the new leaders had already received some of the admonitions and preaching when they were on the ship, so the reception was also orderly.

On the bank of the river, Xia Duo calmly watched as the new consuls stepped off the cargo ship, took the steamed buns and clothes from the receiving staff, and then went to the clerk to register their identity information, and then under the leadership of the receiving staff, they went to the fourth residential area and distributed houses according to their families.

"Layton."

"Your Excellency?"

"In about a month and a half, a new group of people will arrive, and during this time, the leveling of the land can be temporarily slowed down, so that the hut manufacturing workshop can train a group of usable carpenters as soon as possible." Xia Duo admonished.

With the territory's current standard wooden house component reserves, it should be possible to arrange housing for new residents in a month and a half, but not after that, and must be prepared in advance.

In the case of limited time, if you want to significantly increase production, for the time being, you can only increase the number of carpenters.

……

Soon, all the new lords disembarked, and seeing this, Xia Duo said to Layton: "I'm going back to the Tower of Time, and I'll leave it to you next, contact me if there is an emergency, the communication scroll should still be on your side, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"That's good."

Xia Duo patted Layton's arm as an encouragement, and then called to Taling, guided the teleportation, and returned to the Tower of Time.

He had made an appointment with Dean and the others to inspect the Tirac laboratory in two days, and Xia Duo naturally would not break his promise, but his return this time was not only to inspect their research progress and arrange the research and development tasks of the communication magic device, but also to make some slightly radical adjustments.

……

The Tower of Time, Chador's residence and private research room.

As soon as he returned, Xia Duo did not immediately go to the Tirak Research Laboratory, but returned to his residence, "Taling, how many apprentices are there in the Tower of Time at present?" ”

"Shado, the Substitute, there are currently 392 apprentices in the Tower of Time."

Hearing this number, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh, there were so many apprentices, but in the past, the Tower of Tense only promoted official mages to single digits every year, and in the past two years, because of Xia Duo's existence, the number of new formal mages added every year has increased slightly, but it has not exceeded single digits.

Chado continued to ask: "Taling, how many of the 392 apprentices are full-fledged apprentices?" How many apprentices have spellcasting abilities? ”

The so-called "formal apprentice" is just a statement of the Tower of Time, which refers to the apprentice who has mastered the [Repair Technique] and can provide maintenance services for the Tower of Time, and the apprentice can only have the qualification to ask questions at this stage.

Below the formal apprenticeship, it is basically no different from a miscellaneous servant, and he is not even qualified to ask questions in class.

"Xia Duo the Substitute, there are currently 67 formal apprentices in the Tower of Time, and 152 apprentices with spell-casting abilities."

Xia Duo knew that this was the latest data of the Tower of Time, and any apprentice who was active in the Tower of Time would inevitably be recorded by the Tower Spirit, and this data Xia Duo recognized.

Of course, what he recognizes is only the authenticity of the data, as for whether he is satisfied with the data, it is another matter.

Of course, Xia Duo was not satisfied with this data, in his opinion, the official mage can be completed quickly, even if it is cultivated by the standard of an arcane master, it will not be less than half of them have the ability to cast spells.

It can be seen that the training of apprentices in the Tower of Tense is basically in a free-range state, even if it will arrange courses for apprentices, but in Xia Duo's opinion, it is more like finding something for mages to do.

There is no systematic teaching program, so that the number of people who become full-fledged mages each year is only in the single digits.

But now, it's up to Shado to change that, and not just to increase the number of mage mechanics who can make magical items, which has been his idea all along.

Magic, conceptually identical to science, only in a different name, both refer to verifiable bodies of knowledge.

There is no doubt that the more mages, the faster magic can develop.

Let civilization as a whole climb, this is what Chardo is happy to see.

As for the problems that may be encountered in the development, Xia Duo does not shy away from talking about them, such as disputes and private fights caused by too many mages, malice caused by the surrounding areas due to too fast development, and the impact that super magic may have on the living environment, etc.

However, we should not give up development because problems may arise, and the problems of development can only be solved by development!

……

After that, Xia Duo inquired in detail about the apprentice promotion and mage promotion of the Tower of Time over the years, and he probably knew it, so he ordered Ta Ling again:

"Inform all the official mages of the Tower of Time, and the meeting will be held in Room 1 on the public floor the morning after tomorrow!"

The reason why they will be empty for one day is mainly due to the fact that some people may already have arrangements for these days, so giving two days' notice can also allow them to adjust their arrangements.

After receiving a reply from Taling's notification, Shado set off for the Tirak Laboratory, which was on the same floor as his residence.
