Xia Duo also regretted that at present, it is only possible to get rid of slavery by accumulating 10 small merits in the territory, and improving the brick-making process is only worth 1 small merit, which is equivalent to 1 year of normal work.

However, Leiden's identity is difficult for him to propose the so-called "exceptional appointment", but Xia Duo does not matter, the superior naturally has the privileges of the superior, and pardoning a slave is nothing.

It's just that he doesn't want to do this, and the existence of the regulations for accumulating merit and leaving the nationality is naturally necessary, just the director of the [Development Department], and it is not important enough to be appointed exceptionally.

But there are talents who don't use it, but it's also a waste, Xia Duo doesn't take it, so he said:

"Let Jeff be in charge of the [Pioneer Department], let Clark be Jeff's clerk and consultant, and if the [Pioneer Department] is doing well, you can give him one more merit and let him get rid of slavery as soon as possible. As for the candidates for the head of the [Consular Resettlement Department] and the [Logistics Department], let's use the Jaco and Cade you said! ”

"Yes, sir." Leighton has no objection to this.

……

Then Xia Duo took out the pre-written appointment papers, filled in the names of the three department heads, and then used a spell to leave a glowing territorial emblem - the Chinese character "Xia".

Chado handed the three documents to Leyden, and at the same time advised, "These three departments are your subordinates, and all you have to do is make sure they are functioning properly." ”

This is actually the real territorial administrative officer, and Leiden is undoubtedly the chief official, to put it mildly, Leiden at this time is equivalent to Xia Duo's prime minister, Xia Duo helped him sort out the system, rights and responsibilities, and no matter what he does after that, it will be much more convenient to put it in this system.

After receiving Leiden's reply, Xia Duo asked again, "By the way, how is the literacy situation of the people in the territory?" ”

"Children learn quickly, but adults are a little slower, and new arrivals may have to be rescheduled." Leiden doesn't shy away from questions.

"There's no rush for this, take your time."

To be honest, in fact, Xia Duo was very anxious, and he wished that all the people would become spellcasters at once, but he also knew that this was unrealistic, and the reality still needed to be done step by step:

"You can't stop studying at night! In addition, I plan to send all the 16-year-old lords to the Tower of Time to learn magic, and this matter should be the first task after the establishment of the [Consulate Resettlement Department]! Get it done as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Sending the people to learn magic was actually something that Xia Duo only thought of yesterday, on the one hand, there are more and more people in the territory, and there is no shortage of these young people with weak individual strength, and on the other hand, it is because of the possible crisis of Drow.

And, of course, that scarlet twinkle in the northwest sky.

Although it may not be far from quenching the thirst of the near, but in any case, engaging in education can be regarded as a means of facing it positively and never falling behind.

Just as he was about to let Layton leave, Xia Duo suddenly dispelled his thoughts, he always felt as if he had forgotten something, and took out a notebook from his pocket space to record his daily schedule, and when he saw a line of text written more than a month ago, he remembered:

"Leiden, there's something you need to pay more attention to lately."

"What is it? Adults, please speak. ”

"I should have mentioned to you when I just came back from Severton, in August, that is, at the beginning of this month, there will be a fleet of ships transporting new consuls, and the formation of the new department will be completed as soon as possible, and more new consuls will arrive one after another, so let's prepare with 10,000 people!"

What Chado wrote down in his notes was the approximate date of the arrival of Belera's fleet, in addition to Belera's own fleet and other fleets that had been contacted through Belera.

The Silver Ring Badge is only valid this year, and Chadordo made a deal with Belera in May, but it also takes time for the Severington Council to gather new lords from all over the country, so Bereira's fleet departs in June, and the rest of the fleet is even later.

Since it takes too long to make a trip from Seuventon to the south, it will probably only be transported twice this year, and the number of people is certainly not 10,000, but there are certainly thousands, and at worst, they are also preparing for the future.

When Xia Duo mentioned "10,000 people", Leiden couldn't help but show a surprised expression, a year ago, there were only a few dozen people recruited from the Savile Territory in the territory, but he didn't expect that in just one year, the population of the territory would exceed 10,000 people.

Layton felt a lot of pressure, but at the same time, he also felt great joy and excitement if he could bring order to more people.

"My lord, Leiden will swear to complete the mission!"

"I don't need you to die, live well, I still need you to do more things in the future!"

"Yes!"

Looking at Leiton's excited expression when he left the study, Xia Duo shook his head slightly, and he didn't know what to say, but with Leiden here, he was still quite worry-free.

fo

……

After Layton left, Xia Duo pondered for a moment, and then went out to the barracks, where the order he had ordered to expand the Ground Guard to 200 men had been well executed, but now it seemed that it might be time to expand again.

It's not to prevent the new lords from making trouble, after all, in Nessreel, the lords are almost all spellcasters, and Xia Duo has never heard of a lord directly rebelling against the lord, at most he just fled.

The expansion of the territorial guard is mainly to protect the working people, and to continue to clear all kinds of creatures in the forest, obtain meat, and at the same time weaken the backlash of destroying the forest as much as possible.

The so-called "repercussion of destroying the forest" is actually a druidic term, they believe that the forest is conscious, but Xia Duo also has his own opinion, and the natural regurgitation of the earth is no longer a few.

However, it is a balancing mechanism, and after human beings destroy nature, the original balance is broken, and a series of events caused by it are the so-called "natural backlash".

Now that Xia Duo has opened up his territory here, he has become clear about a large forest, and the creatures that originally lived here will naturally react, even if they do not react in a short time, with the further expansion of Xia Duo's territory, the living space of the original creatures in the forest has been further reduced.

In addition to their fighting with each other, it is also a normal choice to attack human territory, and of course it is also a normal phenomenon.

……

Shado didn't see Gibb in the barracks, and Gibb had already taken people out on patrol by this time, but Ava rarely left the barracks, and he was now mainly responsible for training soldiers in the use of magical items, as well as some experience and skills of the Wanderer Scout.

Seeing Shado's arrival, Ava immediately saluted respectfully, even more seriously than Leyden.

In this regard, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel a little lost (hypocritical), originally the two had been on the battlefield together, sold stolen goods together, and they were friends, but because Ava had previously assassinated the head of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce in revenge, he was cursed and rescued by Xia Duo, so he volunteered to become his follower.

At this moment, although the relationship between the two has become closer, it has basically nothing to do with friendship.
