After listening to Leiden's introduction, Xia Duo first affirmed the work that has been completed by the Ministry of Culture and Education, but at the same time he also clearly pointed out:

"The bard's apprentice is not a wandering artist as everyone thought in the past, but a new era of literary and artistic workers who honorably serve the people and order of the territory.

"As for the fear that the children of the territory will not be able to enter the Tower of Time to learn magic, you need to be widely informed about this, magic education is the main policy of the territory, and it will not be shaken by anything.

"The Bard's apprentice will still be able to enter the Tower of Time to learn magic, and will be treated the same as everyone else, and may even be given some preferential treatment for his literary and artistic talents."

"The Sword Comes"

In fact, Shado was not prepared to raise the children of the realm into true bards, and the bard's spells seemed to him to be very disadvantageous, cultivating wanderers, not builders, and Shado was only borrowing the name.

But now that this problem has arisen, Xia Duo must get to the bottom of it, so he told Leyton -

"In the future, in the territory, those who learn musical instruments can be called 'musicians', those who learn singing can be called 'singers', those who study drama and performance can be called 'actors', those who are good at writing can be called 'writers', and those who are good at painting can be called 'painters', and all these people who are engaged in literary and artistic work can be collectively called 'literary and artistic workers'."

Material civilization should be built, and spiritual civilization should not be relaxed, and magic should not be regarded as a special profession in the future, but should become the most basic quality of every citizen in civilization.

As science exemplifies in his homeland, not all of them work directly related to scientific research, but almost all of them are closely related to science.

Modern society is fundamentally based on science, and it is natural that citizens of modern society also need to have the most basic scientific literacy.

In response to Chado's instructions, Leiden said that he would resolutely implement them, but at the same time he also raised a question:

"My lord, do you need to issue a decree to fix the issue of literary and artistic workers you mentioned in the form of formal legal provisions?"

"No, just put it in the Territory Overview!"

Of course, Xia Duo understood what Leiden meant, and this guy was eager to fix all the rules in the form of the law, and then strictly follow the law.

But the reality is not an ideal world built by the letter of the law, even if the gears are completely kneaded, there needs to be lubricating oil!

Not to mention a complex society made up of countless different and self-conscious individuals!

The law does need to take care of all aspects, but it is not enough to stipulate all of a person's words and deeds to the death, that is not the law, that is a shackle.

For many things, the official only needs to come up with an attitude, and how the people choose is entirely up to them.

Of course, the current Great Xia Lingqi is studious, and the "Territory Overview" is the first book for countless people to read and write, Xia Duo believes that there is no need to really publish a new book, and the people who hear the news will consciously change their names.

In fact, the titles he proposed basically follow the simple concepts of ordinary people, and do not do anything too innovative, so it is not difficult to be recognized by ordinary people.

As for the "Encyclopedia", Xia Duo didn't talk too much, because he knew very well that Lawrence and the others had only been here for less than a year, and even if the apprentices of the Tower sometimes helped, it would be difficult to complete it in such a short time.

As long as you know that these works are progressing steadily, Xia Duo is not in a hurry, and there is time to wait slowly.

……

"Let's talk about food! Leiden, Cade, you all tell me, what is the current food self-sufficiency rate in the territory? ”

Hearing the lord's inquiry, Leiden and Cade glanced at each other, and immediately had a tacit understanding, deciding that Cade would be the first to speak:

"My lord, most of the current grain reserves in the territory come from the Tower of Time, and only a small part of the grain harvested in the territory is harvested. After the autumn harvest this year, the logistics department will buy a batch of surplus grain from the people who have already granted the land, and may be able to increase its own grain reserves to 30%. ”

"What percentage of your own food reserves?"

Xia Duo said that this relatively empty concept did not mean much, he shook his head, and asked Leiden instead: "You have a more comprehensive understanding of the territory, can you tell me, how is the current food self-sufficiency situation in the territory?" ”

"The farmland in the territory was originally forest, and the fertile land here is coupled with intensive cultivation, and each acre of farmland can grow two crops of crops, but the yield is never as high as the lord said, and it takes at least three or four acres of farmland to feed an adult, and there will be fewer children and the elderly.

"The existing farmland area of the territory is about 7,400 new acres, which means that it can only feed more than 2,000 people! The current population of the territory has just exceeded 10,000 not long ago. ”

After speaking, Leiden mentioned again, "Your Excellency just mentioned that a large number of Langas will join the territory in the near future, which will greatly reduce the food self-sufficiency rate of the territory. ”

"yes!"

After realizing that food self-sufficiency is a big problem, Xia Duo can't help but have a headache, the Tower of Time is next to Codex Square, and it is very simple to move food from the Tower of Time, but the problem is-

The Tower of Time is also facing an energy crisis, and it is difficult for the Arcane Garden's food production to increase qualitatively.

Moreover, not long ago, during the Midsummer Festival, the Tower of Time recruited two hundred new apprentices, considering that the previous apprentices had been promoted to official mages one after another, the consumption of energy was further intensified.

In addition, there is the maintenance problem of the Tower of Time, so many people use it at the same time, so that the maintenance frequency of the Tower of Time has been greatly increased, and it may not need to be maintained once in a few years, but now it needs to be maintained at least once or twice a year.

There are so many questions.

It is said that as long as it can be solved with energy, it is not a big deal, and it is only necessary to collect more arcane energy crystals during the experiment of the arcane fire device.

But again, there are problems.

Iolem is determined to speed up the experiment, and as a result, the demand for arcane crystals will also rise sharply, and he may even have to spit out his old book, and he may not be able to get the surplus back for the Tower of Time.

Fortunately, as long as the experiment goes well, the number of arcane crystals that can be collected will also increase steadily, and once that critical point is passed, there will be no need to think about energy in the future.

In this way, the solution to the problem still falls on Severton.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo almost irrepressibly had the idea of returning to Severton immediately, but this matter was not urgent enough to be solved immediately, and the arcane fire experiment could not be completed in a day or two.

Coupled with the fact that he was still on vacation, Xia Duo finally gave up his thoughts, but still promised Leiden that "if you need food, you will go to the Tower of Time to get it." ”

In addition, he also proposed:

"In terms of territory agriculture, Elder Atwood still needs to put more effort into it, the yield can definitely be improved, but there is still a lack of experience and methods, I believe that Elder Atwood will not let me down, I propose a small goal here, that is, to make the territory farmland, one acre can feed an adult!"
