After talking about the clothing of the consuls of the territory and the chiefs and administrators of the various departments of the territory, Xia Duo finally talked about the real purpose of coming to Leiden:

"After the spring sowing, I am going to grant land to the people to reward them for their hard work for the Great Xia Leader, what do you think?"

"Granting land?"

Hearing this familiar word, Leiden immediately looked solemn, and then put forward his opinion: "My lord, is this too early?"

"At present, the arable land developed in the territory is not even self-sufficient, so it is better to wait another year or two, and it is not too late to grant land when the land is sufficient."

Regarding what Leiden said, Xia Duo just nodded, noncommittal, he had mentioned the issue of granting land to Leiden before, and it was actually not a problem at all.

In Nesser, it is normal for the Pioneer Lord to divide the land for the first group of followers after a successful Pioneer Lord.

It's just that Xia Duo is not willing to privatize the land, at least not the kind of independent fief where "the wind can enter the rain, the king cannot enter".

Therefore, he thought of granting fields.

The right to use the land is granted only to the people, but there is no time limit, and it can be passed on from generation to generation, or it can be bought and sold, and only a certain fee needs to be paid when the ownership is changed.

However, for long-term reasons, these lands will be restricted to agriculture only.

This kind of granting was never done before in Nesser, and Chardo was not sure if he would touch any forbidden areas, so in addition to consulting with Leyden, he consulted Bishop Ambriel on the subject.

The result is of course good, and it doesn't touch any forbidden areas.

When discussing with Leiden, the two worked out a rough timetable for granting land, at least after the territory became self-sufficient in food, and then began to implement it.

But now the time is significantly earlier.

However, Xia Duo also has his own considerations, he went to Severynton some time ago, and too many things happened, among which the biggest impact on his next plans was not to become a registered student of Iorham, but-

The ascension ceremony book I got from President Jenna of the Myeongsu Chamber of Commerce!

Whether or not he becomes a registered student of Iolem, or whether he looks at the color-resistant scroll or not, may have an impact on his future plans, but at most it can only play a certain role in fine-tuning some existing plans.

The only thing that can really make Xia Duo change his plans, or even add new ones, is the Ascension Ritual Book!

The book records in detail all the steps to achieve the "noble god", which greatly inspired Xia Duo, although he has no intention of ascending to the god now, but some attempts, even preparations, can still be done first.

The two most important parts of the ascension ritual are the acquisition of faith and the channeling of the Force, and the other is the channeling of the power of order and the establishment of the cycle of order.

The former only needs to be famous, which is relatively simple, but Xia Duo also has a bloodline ability to absorb faith, and he will not consider this aspect for the time being.

He mainly considered the power of order, and he found that the [power of order] is really suitable for the lord to use, and the territory is a large order system that embraces all kinds of small orders, and the lord is naturally the controller of [the power of order].

The god of such achievement may be called "the god of xx territory".

Of course, gods are not so easy to achieve, such as the specific parameters of faith, the Force, and the power of order, and the only thing that can be used as a reference is the "noble god" ritual in the ascension book.

Other gods can only be known through trial and error.

Xia Duo has no intention of ascending to the gods for the time being, so he doesn't need to think about these for the time being, he thinks that since the [Power of Order] is true, why can't he interfere with reality?

He had a feeling that if he could develop the technology that the power of order could directly interfere with reality, it would not necessarily be worse than becoming a god.

At the same time, since the power of order is deeply affected by reality, any change in the real order will be reflected in the nature of the power of order, and if the cycle of order can be constructed, then the changes in the real order can be monitored at all times.

This is even more useful than the loyalty display of the people, after all, there are too many cases of good intentions doing bad things and doing stupid things.

In reality, there is no loyalty display, which makes the order cycle even more significant!

Even if it is not for the ascension ceremony, Xia Duo has to try it, which allows him to grasp the state of the development of the territory in real time, and if something goes wrong, he can find and correct it in time.

Of course, all of this is just a theoretically achievable function that Xia Duo speculated, and if so, it will never be known if there is or if so, and if so, it will never be known without trying!

And the field granting ceremony, or the field granting ceremony, is the beginning of Xia Duo's guidance of the power of order and the construction of the cycle of order!

Of course, there is no need to say more about the significance of granting land, such as adjusting the structure of the people and stimulating the will of the people to open up.

In short, land granting is imperative and will take place in the near future.

As for the conservative view put forward by Leiden, Xia Duo did not refute it, after all, Leiden also started from the actual situation of the territory, but that was when Xia Duo did not get the ascension ritual book.

So Xia Duo replied:

"I understand what you mean, but this time the land grant will not be carried out on a large scale, this time I am only going to grant land to the first batch of people who came here to pioneer with me, and in the future, the land grant will also be carried out in the order of joining the territory."

The first batch of new people in the Great Xia Territory has less than 100 people, and according to the ten new acres of land per person, it is only 1,000 new acres, which is completely within the scope of the land that can be planted in the territory! (New acres refer to 1000 square meters)

Of course, this is almost more than 80% of the existing cultivable land area.

However, the land is not started now, it is now the tail of winter, and the land may begin to thaw in a few days, and then it is possible to organize people to continue to clear and level the land.

In addition, last year, Xia Duo announced this year's plan, not to look at the forest for the time being, but to concentrate on clearing and leveling the existing land first.

After that, it did not continue to the southeast, but to the north, connecting with the Savile territory.

Xia Duo estimates that by the time the land is granted for the first time, the area of land that can be planted in the territory will probably double what it is now!

If the weather warms up later, it may be less, but this will not have any effect on the granting of land, which is already divided anyway.

"When are you going to grant the field?" Layton asked.

"Tentatively scheduled for next month, the exact date is subject to readiness."

Then, Chado gave a new directive:

"In addition, a new square will be built to the east of the Elemental Fountain, starting from the Elemental Fountain in the west, and reaching the foot of the Tower of Time in the east, I need to use it to place the Codex Stone Pillar, and the field granting ceremony will also be carried out there, and the center of the Great Xia Territory will gradually move there in the future."

"East of the Elemental Fountain?"

Layton was shocked, wasn't that the ruins of the ruins where the Tower of Time was located?
