Soon, Iolem gave his opinion -

"I think it's feasible, I'll bring it up at the next joint meeting of the Grand Arcanists, and I'm sure the Seven Towers will agree. If you have any suggestions, you can put them together, and if it is feasible, I will also support it. ”

Xia Duo glanced at the stack of Tower of Time Level 2 apprentice textbooks that were still on the tea table, and didn't make any further suggestions.

If nothing happens at the next joint meeting of the Arcanists of the Arcane Federation, it will be the day when Congenio will officially step down, and at that time, Iorham will definitely have the "three fires" of his own office, and Xia Duo does not want to be too noisy.

And he didn't have much advice to offer, and for the time being, he didn't want to interfere too much with things outside of his territory until he was truly involved and led the process of change.

It's no longer low-key, it's more just a necessary display of the status of a senior arcanist, so as not to make people misjudge. At other times, it is still necessary to keep quiet and accumulate strength.

……

Then, Xia Duo and the two Grand Arcanists had an in-depth discussion on the issue of apprenticeship, and he could see that both Congenio and Iorham were very interested in the current academy training of the Tower of Time, but due to their respective identities, they could not actually operate it.

Therefore, they paid special attention to what Xia Duo said.

"Lord Xia Duo, I probably understand what you said, but I have a question, after the three-year apprenticeship contract expires, if everything goes well, there will be hundreds of more official mages in the Tower of Time, how do you arrange these people?"

The mage is not a rigid dead thing, but a living person, and a living person has to have various activities based on this profession, and these activities are all based on the infrastructure of various mage towers.

That said, just maintaining the existence of these mages would incur a lot of consumption, including the consumption of materials for daily practice and experimentation, as well as the maintenance of infrastructure.

Iolem himself did not have much research on the business field, so the more he looked forward to the academy scene, the more worried he was about the possible drawbacks of that situation.

Xia Duo mentioned before that the Tower of Time can only barely maintain the training cost of these apprentices, even if they become official mages, they can participate in production, but the consumption of their existence is definitely greater than that of apprentices, and it is many times larger.

And can the surplus products generated by the Tower of Time due to those official mages really be sold?

If it can't be sold, wouldn't the tower be bankrupt soon, and even if it did, it would still be unsustainable if the price was pushed too low.

This kind of problem has actually touched on the core of Xia Duo's transformation and governance in the south, and to be honest, he himself has been worried about this problem, although there are various plans, but no one can absolutely pack the ticket for the future.

At this moment, this issue was mentioned again by Iolem, and Congenio also showed a curious and eager attitude, and Xia Duo thought about it, and then said:

"Master, Lord Iorem, I have two main intentions on this issue—

"One is to create a new consumption mechanism, establish an internal economic cycle, and let those new mages work in the Tower of Time and consume in the Tower of Time, of course, this internal circulation, there is also a big loophole, that is, the limitation of the Tower of Time's own resources, if the Tower of Time does not have sufficient resources for circulation, it is also very maintained, but at least it is a relief.

"So, the second aspect is to dig deep into internal resources and bring in external resources. The undeveloped area of the southern realm is so large, you can always find some useful ore veins, and then use spells to open mines, the efficiency may far exceed that of ordinary humans or even dwarves and dwarves; In terms of external resources, these large numbers of formal mages will still be used, and they will produce more low-cost goods and sell them to supplement the lack of internal circulation. ”

Speaking of which, Chado revealed another piece of news that was not a secret for both Iolem and Congenio:

"At present, the Tower of Time has reached a preliminary strategic cooperation intention with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and in the future, the Tower of Time will sell more magic items and introduce more raw materials through the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce."

As for the introduction of new coins in the South, Xia Duo did not say anything about it here.

After listening to Shado's explanation, Iolem and Congenio fell into deep thought again, and the study became extremely quiet again.

Only a small Mithril ornament resembling a single pendulum on the desk not far away, and the "click" sound made by the swing.

After a while, Iolem's eyes showed excitement and eagerness, but as if he had thought of something, he quickly calmed down and looked at Congenio.

After the two sides confirmed certain information in the eye contact, Iolem slowly spoke, and said to Chado:

"Lord Summer, the development model of "academy-style cultivation and internal and external dual circulation" that you proposed does have very attractive development prospects, and it is indeed very suitable for Nesser, but now I have to tell you a very practical problem, that is-

"At present, it is difficult for Nessel, even the Morion Tower, which has the strongest academic atmosphere and the most enlightened knowledge, to take the initiative to carry out such a change."

Shado listened carefully, not letting go of a word, and even had to think over and over again, what Iolem said should be regarded as some kind of truth of Nessreel.

As far as Morion's Tower is concerned, it is difficult to implement academy training, let alone other places, but Iolum's words don't seem to stop there.

At this moment, Iolem suddenly asked, "Lord Shado, are you willing to be my student?" ”

"Huh?"

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this discussing the future development model, why did you suddenly turn to the apprenticeship? This turn of events was really a bit big, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Just when Xia Duo was wondering what Iolum meant by this, Iolem himself had already begun to take the initiative to explain:

"Lord Shado, I am very optimistic about you and the future development of the South, but such development is not destined to take place in peace, before becoming a Grand Arcanist, I can temporarily become your teacher and block some unnecessary malice for you."

When Xia Duo heard this, he immediately understood Iolum's intentions.

The wheels of the times are rolling forward, but the people who lead the times may not be treated fairly in the contemporary era, which is like the "Qin" in his hometown.

Later generations used the Qin Law, but at the same time, they smeared the Qin Law in every way.

And the same is true of Nessreel, if the academy cultivation first appears in the southern realm, and thus breaks a certain balance of the current situation, even if the academy cultivation can become mainstream in the future, it will definitely encounter the backlash of the old guards now.

"The Great Luo of the Worlds"

Of course, this backlash is not necessarily a "real PK", but it is not guaranteed.
