Arcane Lord

After listening to Leighton's introduction, Chateau first expressed his affirmation of the work results completed by the Ministry of Culture and Education, but at the same time he also clearly pointed out:

“Bard apprentices are not the wandering artists that everyone thought in the past, but new era literary and artistic workers who honorably serve the people and order of the territory.

"As for the children in the territory who are worried about not being able to enter the Tower of Time to learn magic, you need to widely inform them that magic education is a major policy of the territory and will not be shaken by any incident.

"Bard apprentices can still enter the Tower of Time to learn magic and enjoy the same treatment as others. They may even receive certain preferential treatment because of their expertise in literature and art."

In fact, Shado is not planning to train the children in the territory to become real bards. In his opinion, the bard's magic has great disadvantages. It is training wanderers instead of builders. Shado just borrows this name. That’s all.

But now that this problem has arisen, Xia Duo must clear up the source, so he told Leiden——

"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', and those who are good at writing can be called 'writers'. Those who paint can be called 'painters', and all those who engage in literary and artistic work can be collectively called 'literary and artistic workers'."

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

As science reflected in his hometown, not everyone was engaged in work directly related to scientific research, but almost everyone was closely related to science.

Modern society is fundamentally based on science. Naturally, citizens of modern society also need to possess the most basic scientific literacy.

Regarding Chateau's instructions, Leiden said that he would resolutely implement them, but at the same time he also raised a question:

"Sir, does the issue of the title of literary and artistic workers you mentioned need to be promulgated and fixed in the form of formal legal provisions?"

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

Of course Shado understood what Leiden meant. This guy wanted to fix all the regulations in the form of law and then strictly enforce them in accordance with the law.

But reality is not an ideal world built by legal provisions. Even fully kneaded gears still need lubricating oil!

What's more, it's a complex society composed of countless different individuals with self-awareness!

The law does need to take care of all aspects, but it does not strictly regulate all a person's words and deeds. That is not a law, it is a shackles.

For many things, the official only needs to have an attitude, and the people's choice is entirely up to them.

Of course, the current Daxia Territory is very studious, and "Territory Overview" is the first book that countless territorial citizens can learn to read. Xia Duo believes that there is no need to actually publish a new book, and the territorial citizens will consciously change after hearing the news. call.

In fact, the titles he proposed basically followed the simple concepts of ordinary people and did not make any overly innovative settings, so it was not difficult for ordinary people to recognize them.

As for the "Encyclopedia", Sha Duo didn't talk much about it, because he knew very well that Lawrence and other talents had been here for less than a year. Even if the apprentices from the Tower of Time helped, it would be difficult to complete it in such a short time.

As long as you know that these tasks are progressing steadily, Xia Duo is not in a hurry and has plenty of time to wait.

…

"Tell us about the food problem! Leiden, Cade, tell us, what is the current food self-sufficiency rate of the territory?"

Upon hearing the Lord's inquiry, Leiden and Cade looked at each other and immediately agreed, deciding that Cade would be the first to speak:

"Sir, most of the territory's food reserves currently come from the Tower of Time, and the food harvested in the territory only accounts for a small part. After this year's autumn harvest, the Logistics Department will purchase a batch of surplus grain from the territory's residents who have been granted land, and may be able to use their own Food reserves increased to 30%.”

"What is the proportion of self-owned food reserves?"

For this relatively fictitious concept, Xia Duo said it was of little significance. He shook his head and turned to ask Leiden: "You have a more comprehensive understanding of the territory. Can you tell me how the territory's current food self-sufficiency situation is? ?”

"The farmland in the territory was originally a forest. The land here is fertile and the intensive farming is done. Every acre of farmland can grow two crops. However, the yield is never as high as the lord said. It takes at least three or three to feed an adult. Four acres of farmland, less for children and the elderly.

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

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

"yes!"

After realizing that food self-sufficiency was a big problem, Xia Duo couldn't help but have a headache. The Tower of Time was right next to the Codex Square. It was very simple to move food from the Tower of Time, but the problem was——

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

Moreover, during the Midsummer Festival not long ago, the Tower of Time only recruited two hundred new apprentices. Considering that the previous apprentices have been promoted to official mages one after another, the energy consumption has further increased.

In addition, there is also the problem of maintenance of the Tower of Time. With so many people using it at the same time, the frequency of maintenance of the Tower of Time has been greatly increased. It might not have needed maintenance once in several years, but now it needs to be maintained at least once or twice a year.

There are too many questions.

They all say that as long as it can be solved with energy, it is not a big deal. All you need to do is collect more arcane crystals when experimenting with the arcane fire device.

But again, there are problems here.

Iolum is determined to speed up the progress of the experiment. As a result, the demand for arcane crystals will also rise sharply. He may even have to give up his capital, and may not be able to get any surplus back for the Tower of Time.

Fortunately, as long as the experiment goes smoothly, the amount of arcane crystals that can be collected will steadily increase. Once that critical point is passed, there will be no need to consider energy issues in the future.

From this point of view, the solution to the problem still lies in Severington.

Thinking of this, Sha Duo almost couldn't help but have the idea of ​​returning to Sevington immediately. However, the matter was not urgent enough to be solved immediately, and the arcane fire experiment could not be completed in a day or two.

As he was still on vacation, Shado finally gave up the idea, but still promised Leiden, "If you need food, go to the Tower of Time to get it."

In addition, he also proposed:

"In terms of agriculture in the territory, Elder Atwood still needs to put more thought into it. The output can definitely be increased, but it still lacks some experience and methods. I believe that Elder Atwood will not let me down. Let me mention a little The goal is to have one acre of farmland that can feed an adult!”
