After taking a turn in the Tower of Time, Xia Duo finally remembered that there was still a territory waiting for him to inspect, so he didn't delay, and left the Tower of Time without even eating lunch.

A month, not too long, not too short, once again set foot on this familiar land, Xia Duo tried to find a different scenery than when he left.

But no matter how he searched, except for most of the yellow leaves of the trees, even the environment of the magic net had not changed much.

"There is still a shortage of people on this side of the ruins!" Xia Duo sighed.

However, he was unwilling to let him stay here for a long time to repair the magic net without doing anything, and as for saying that the Arcanist from Severynton had come here to work for nothing, he could only think about it in his heart.

Except for those who are mixed with God's grace, who wants to help people work for nothing!

His heart moved, and the next moment Xia Duo rose from the clouds and flew into the sky, and he saw more scenery that was different from before.

Especially to the southwest, there is a large cluster of extra wooden houses, which seems to be the resettlement place of the new consuls who came over last month.

Outside the settlement, there is a much wider open space, and the traces of turning over can be seen a little closer to the settlement, and it seems that autumn sowing has been carried out.

And farther away, much of the land is still scorched, and it has not even been leveled, let alone planted.

Now that the population of the territory has been relatively stable, Xia Duo knows that if he wants to become self-sufficient, he must remove the remaining roots from the scorched earth as soon as possible, and then level the land and complete the sowing.

However, the outward expansion could not be stopped, and he had already made the decision to introduce a new population, so the larger the arable area, the better.

How to balance these two aspects needs to be considered in the long term.

……

Returning to the Lord's Villa on the edge of the Altar Square, Xia Duo immediately issued a summoning order, and while waiting for the arrival of the heads of various departments of the territory, he casually flipped through the records of the regular meeting of the territory placed in the conference room.

While flipping through it, he established a schematic diagram of the development state of the territory in his mind, combined with the appearance of the territory he saw when he flew in the sky before, and he had gradually counted it in his heart.

In a moment, Layton was the first to arrive.

As the spokesperson of Xia Duo's personal order and the official consul of the Great Xia Territory, as soon as Leiton came over, he began to introduce Xia Duo to the development of the territory in the past month.

However, Xia Duo interrupted him after listening to a few paragraphs, "I have read all the minutes of the meeting, and the general situation has been understood, so you can tell me about the situation of the new people!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

His debriefing was interrupted, and Layton didn't mind, and turned to his new connoisseurs—

"Last month's new consignments came from the same source, farmers who had lost their land in the northern territories, or so-called freedmen, who had no room for living in the area, or who were not satisfied with the status quo, and responded to the call of the Severington Council. Of course, your reputation is also an attraction factor. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing such an answer, Xia Duo was still quite surprised, he didn't expect that his reputation would even be heard of by some ordinary people, and recognized.

You must know that in Nessral, although the caster is not a mysterious and untouchable existence, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to have access to the information of the caster, especially the information that guides their actions.

At most, listening to some rural legends in the tavern, true or false, but it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to abandon his current situation and chase an unpredictable fate because of a distant spellcaster who has nothing to do with him.

Xia Duo guessed that this might be the endorsement of the Seven Towers again, or something influencing.

"Are these new people divided within the territory?"

"My lord, most of the new leaders have migrated with their families, compared to their past miserable lives, the Great Xia Leaders have provided them with unprecedented opportunities, what reason do they have to be restless?"

After speaking, Leiden's eyes showed a hint of coldness, and Zheng Zheng said: "Those who do not obey the laws of the territory have their own nooses and shackles waiting for them!" ”

"Yes, but you have to be careful!" Xia Duo reminded.

He knew that Leiden was a believer in the order side of the Lord of Light, advocating the rule of law and respecting authority, and he did not hesitate to kill for this.

However, in Xia Duo's view, overemphasizing the law and dogma will inevitably go to extremes, not to mention that Leiden's teachings are basically submissive, and he does not care much about the justice of the law.

Of course, this is conducive to the rule of his lord, but Xia Duo has already realized the consciousness of an immortal, and the long river of time flows, and respecting others is naturally respecting himself.

He prefers that his authority be based on progress rather than on harsh laws.

At the same time, he also hopes to pass on the concept of moderation and harmony to Leiden, instead of being a robot that sticks to the law and dogma.

"By the way, have you collected the information on the northern territories that you collected before?"

"The people who came before have all been investigated, and the new people who arrived last month haven't started yet, but there have been so many people before, the information should not be much different, and it's too secretive information, and it's unlikely that these people will know."

"After that meeting, send the materials over!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

While the two were talking, the former druid atwood came over, and Xia Duo's heart moved, thinking of those elven druids he had met in the green plane not long ago, and he couldn't help asking:

"Elder Atwood, it's been a long time, have you sensed the Divine Power of Nature now?"

"Lord Lord, don't call me Elder, I'm no longer the Secret Elder of the Golden Oak Branch, I'm just an ordinary commoner in the Great Xia Lord."

"Elder Atwood, don't be humble, I know you're not the Secret Elder of the Golden Oak Branch, but you're now the guide of the new Druids of the Great Xia Order, and it's not too much to call an Elder."

"My lord, it's a joke."

Atwood said this, but his expression was still very honest, and Xia Duo didn't care, he wanted to respect talents, and a mere title was nothing.

If this former druid can really make a natural druid that has nothing to do with the gods, then it doesn't matter if he calls the master every day.

"Elder Atwood, you haven't said that yet? Do you perceive the power of nature? ”

"My lord, not yet, but—"

Speaking of which, Atwood deliberately sold a pass, as if he wanted to see the lord's surprised expression, and Xia Duo was indeed very concerned about Atwood's progress in terms of natural druids.

So he was surprised cooperatively and asked, "But what?" ”

"I've received a natural response!"
