And Xia Duo has realized the importance of population very early and has set up many obstacles for territorial citizens to deregister. Of course, if someone really completes all the deregistration procedures, he will not hold them back.
After all, if you can go through the entire process, your heart is no longer in the territory. Even if you forcefully hold it down, it will only have a negative effect. It is better to just let it go and live in peace.
…
In view of the fact that some lords near Severington had begun to use the cooperative to "reclaim" land, Chateau immediately summoned Brod to step up the recruitment of new lords.
With the continuous advancement of the development of Conchi Plains, Abby Hills, and Cologne Plains, coupled with the upgrading of inland industries brought about by agricultural books, there are too many places that need to employ people. He seriously doubts whether Broad can still recruit five people for him.
Ten thousand new people were brought into the country.
Although the total population of the Shado Territory plus the Savil Territory has exceeded 100,000, which ranks it at the forefront of all Netheril territories, it is still too few compared to the total number of people.
Xia Duo's goal is to have at least 500,000 adult citizens, and the more people, the better. Now it seems that this goal may not be achieved in the short term.
…
At noon that day, after having lunch at the lord's villa in Linshui Village, Xia Duo temporarily summoned Layton, the consul of the territory, to inquire about the preparations for the resettlement of the new territorial residents.
Leiden was already prepared for this:
"Sir, the current population of the territory has been qualitatively improved compared to before, and related affairs are on the right track. If it is just a temporary resettlement, up to 30,000 people can be resettled at any time. To achieve the expected goal of 50,000, at most
It can be completed in a month.”
"What about wintering matters?"
“We are now several months away from winter, so whether it’s 50,000 or more, it’s totally time!”
At this moment, Leiden's face was full of confidence. Shado did not doubt Leiden's statement, but he still reminded: "You haven't forgotten that winter was advanced last year, and you must make corresponding preparations this year, including the extension of winter!
"
"yes."
Leiden immediately agreed, but then hesitated and said: "Sir, will winter come earlier this year?"
"I'm not sure, but it's never wrong to prepare in advance. Even if these preparations turn out to be redundant, they won't be wasted and the territory can be absorbed!"
"yes."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will open the portal in Codex Square. You can ask the Resettlement Department to prepare for resettlement at any time, and make sure that the relevant work is carried out in an orderly manner."
"yes."
Leiden replied again, and seeing that Xia Duo had no other instructions, he quietly retreated.
…
In the study, Xia Duo walked to the window and waved to the distance. Niya quickly rode her Pegasus to the window, sweating profusely, and said dissatisfiedly:
"The conversation is over so quickly?"
"Um."
Xia Duo nodded and didn't care about Niya's attitude. In the past few days, Niya began to enter the blue crystal plane to help again. It was rare to relax, and he was unwilling to interfere too much. He just reminded:
"Seeing that you are sweating profusely, why don't you open the elemental balance field? Don't imitate me. I have a special bloodline and am no longer afraid of cold or heat."
"It's okay. This feels good. At least it makes me feel truly alive!"
After saying that, Niya took a deep breath. The midday sun, which was just slightly to the west, shone on her face, and the sweat shone like a celestial being.
Even though they were an old couple, Xia Duo was a little dumbfounded for a while, and couldn't bear to break the atmosphere for a while. After a long time, he said:
"Then do you want to play some more now? I'm going back to the blue crystal plane. It will probably be finished there today. I can't wait any longer."
As soon as she heard that the azure plane was about to finish, Niya couldn't stay any longer. She immediately jumped off the back of Pegasus and jumped into Sha Duo's study. She waved her hand to let Pegasus play by herself, and then said to Sha Duo
:
Gu Da
"I'm not going to play anymore. I'll go too. Just wait for me. It'll be quick."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person disappeared. Xia Duo had long been used to it. When he was ready to return to the preparation teleportation hall on the exploration floor of the Tower of Time, Niya was already waiting here.
"Why aren't you faster than me?"
"..."
Xia Duo was speechless. If I hadn't waited for you, I would have come a long time ago. Although she is a spell caster, Niya is not at all ambiguous about taking a bath.
This time, perhaps because the attraction of completing [Mythra] was too great, Shado had a bad grasp of the time, and fell behind Niya.
However, compared to the rest of the trip, this is a small matter.
The two quickly activated the portal and entered the blue crystal plane.
…
Floating City, the main energy center in the center.
At this moment, the place was no longer in its original "cavity" state. Instead, there was a complex hollow sphere composed of extremely fine blue luminous silk threads that occupied almost the entire space.
At the same time, since the body of [Mythra] is still somewhat unfinished, the huge ring-shaped David String automatic preparation machine is like a planetary ring, tightly locking the blue luminous sphere in its arms.
Once here, Xia Duo started the final finishing work without saying a word, while Niya shuttled back and forth in the remaining space of the main energy center, looking here and there, almost without stopping for a moment.
"I said Niya, can you go outside and print the mithril circuit first? It's easy for you to interfere with me here!"
Having said that, Sha Duo's work did not stop at all, and Niya seemed to have been used to Sha Duo's complaints for a long time. She only slowed down the frequency of movement, but had no intention of leaving.
"Come on, I believe you can do it!"
However, Niya only watched for herself and did not bother Xia Duo with various questions. She knew very well where the boundary between concentration and interference was.
…
About three or four hours later, Xia Duo waved his hand and put the David String Preparation Machine into his portable space. Niya, who was always paying attention to Xia Duo's movements, saw this scene and immediately cheered up. She went over and asked excitedly:
"Done?"
"Yes." Xia Duo nodded, "It's done, we just need to start the final step."
"Then start it quickly!"
Just as Sha Duo was about to take action, his heart suddenly moved and he said to Niya: "How about you start it?"
"Shall I do it?" Niya was stunned subconsciously. Although Shado had taught her how to activate and deactivate the [Mithra] device before, this was the only second [Mithra] device.
ah!
Even if Xia Duo allowed her to operate with confidence, she was still worried that if she made a mistake in any step, Xia Duo's more than a month of hard work would be wasted.
But Xia Duo's trusting eyes brought back Niya's thoughts. She hesitated and said, "Can I?"
"Of course!"
Seemingly seeing the worry in Niya's eyes, Xia Duo couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, I will be watching from the side, and I guarantee there won't be any problems."
"Then I'll give it a try?"
"Come on, I believe you can do it!"
Chatronia had just spoken to him to encourage her.
