Atwood smiled bitterly, "Even if the elves want to feed an adult on an acre of land, they must have a senior druid to take care of them at all times, and even induce birth. On my side, didn't the Lord say last time -
—”
Atwood didn't say the following words in front of everyone, but as Sha Duo was the person involved, he naturally knew what the other party wanted to say. Wasn't it the last time he told the other party not to use the new natural holy power!
But increasing production doesn't just rely on magic or care, there are other methods, at least Xia Duo knows more than one.
"Don't take spells too seriously, Elder Atwood. Let me ask you, did the early breeding I promoted in the territory increase the yield of the wheat fields?"
"Yes, but the improvement is really limited!"
"well!"
Hearing such words, Xia Duo couldn't help but shake his head, "Do you expect to increase the yield to the goal I mentioned just by relying on early breeding?
"Then let me talk about another method - selecting seeds in advance. This is easy to understand, right? First separate good seeds and bad seeds in advance, and only plant good seeds. Can this increase the yield?"
"able!"
Atwood's eyes lit up and he said with certainty. He even thought of more than one way to select good seeds. If there are more ways to increase the yield, it may not be impossible to increase the yield to one acre of land to feed a person.
So, Atwood seemed to have found his direction and looked at Xia Duo expectantly:
"Sir, are there any more?"
Xia Duo shook his head repeatedly, "No more, no more, you have to think about the rest by yourself."
In fact, as a person from a large agricultural country, how could he have no other way? It's just that the development of the territory cannot only rely on him alone, but requires everyone to work together.
The territory is not his alone, but a home shared by everyone. He is just the head of the family.
However, Atwood still did not give up. Even Nia looked at him very curiously, as if hoping that he would continue to tell new methods.
Niya wants to hear it, so of course Xia Duo won't not say it, but he won't slap himself in the face in public. If he says it, he won't, but it doesn't hurt to say it indirectly:
"The increase in grain production is not only in the fields, but also in the process of grain production, reducing unnecessary losses in harvesting, transportation, processing, and storage, which can be regarded as an indirect increase in production."
Having said this, Xia Duo looked at Leiden and said solemnly: "It is now the time for the autumn harvest. We must do a good job in safeguarding the autumn harvest to ensure that all the autumn grain should be harvested. The subsequent transportation, processing, storage and other links must also be treated with caution.
!”
"Yes, sir!"
…
The food issue ended here. Atwood also saw what Sha Duo meant and didn't delve into it further. As for Niya, Sha Duo just sent a message to her and said she would talk about it when she got back in the evening, and there would be no problem.
Next it was Gibb's turn.
"How is the recent security situation in the territory?"
"The Daxia Code is in Code Square, and everyone can see it. Even if a few people are a little slow in learning the law, they will be reminded by people around them. Therefore, the public security has always been very good. Except for the lack of drinks before, which caused a certain degree of public confusion,
Nowadays, everyone rarely even fights."
"Oh? Isn't it easier for people to be irrational and have conflicts if they have enough alcohol?" Xia Duo asked curiously.
"What adults don't know is that the alcohol provided in the territory is of very low strength. Even children will not get drunk easily, let alone adults!"
Gibb and Chateau had known each other since they were young, and unlike Leiden's rigidity, they were naturally more open-minded in their speech, "Just a few days ago, two people had an argument in a tavern in Lille, and it was almost on the verge of violence.
Just saying, 'Would you like a spanking in Codex Square?', the dispute was immediately resolved."
"Ha ha!"
The cheerful laughter suddenly echoed in the conference room.
…
Of course, the spanking was because of the flogging, which was painful on the one hand, and more importantly, the territory now implemented a public trial, with a judge under Leiden presiding over the trial ceremony.
After all, the code is in the Code Square. Whatever you commit, you will be punished according to the law.
Today's territory is not big, and everyone works in the development department, so if you really have your pants taken off and spanked in public, you will be laughed at for at least several months.
If you meet some thin-skinned people, you may want to die.
Even if you are thick-skinned, the public can put forward opinions during the public trial. If the presiding judge accepts it, the punishment will naturally be increased. Even if you are not afraid of embarrassment, you cannot ignore the physical pain.
Therefore, in Daxia Territory, as long as you mention "spanking" when a conflict is about to occur, most conflicts will be successfully prevented with a high probability.
As for the few who are determined to try the law themselves, Daxia Code will tell them to try what it means: "The human heart is like iron, but not really iron, and the official law is like a furnace, but the truth is like a furnace"!
…
The issue of public security is just an introduction to Xia Duo. What he really wants to say is more than that. “The responsibility of the public security office is not only to crack down on lawlessness, but also to protect the environment and the people.
"It is foreseeable that with the opening of the [Daxia-Saville Passage], people from the two places will have more frequent exchanges, but you must know that this is in the forest!
"How to protect such a long forest passage, Gibb, do you have a plan in mind?"
Chateau was not only asking Gibb this question, but also asking the territorial officials present. This matter seemed to have nothing to do with them, but did the attack by wild beasts really have nothing to do with them?
At this time, the subject being questioned, Gibb, stood up immediately with a serious look on his face, "Sir, I have thought about this issue. It is just such a long passage and the security personnel are short of manpower. Perhaps they need to be guarded together with the territorial guards.
Or ask Savileland to send people as well."
"First tell me what you think!"
"The [Daxia-Savier Channel] is about 25 miles long. I have considered setting up a guard post every other mile, with twenty people stationed there, and a warning device in the middle. If you encounter a wild beast attack, you can call for support at any time. If you are nearby,
The outpost will send half of its personnel to support."
"anything else?"
"In addition, when people pass by the guard post, they can register at the guard post and make an appointment to communicate with the guard post at the next stop. This can also determine whether anyone is missing."
"not enough!"
Chateau shook his head. This method may have seemed rigorous to Gibb, but in his opinion, there were still too many loopholes and, more importantly, the efficiency was too low.
Just a north-south passage would require five hundred people to defend it, which was really hard for him to accept.
It's not that he can't afford to send five hundred people, let alone five hundred people. Even if it's a thousand people, Xia Duo can send them, but why don't these one thousand people do something more meaningful?
"I hope that no one who passes through will encounter an accident. I know this is difficult, but I will provide you with new tools. Before the passage is completely completed and opened, I want you to train a group of rapid response personnel as soon as possible, both
You must have rich experience in cold weapon combat, and you must be proficient in using magic items."
