"Currently, the Development Department has a total of 172 large and small working groups with a total number of more than 2,600 people. According to the actual development needs, they are divided into five parts: logging, cutting, transportation, burning, and leveling, all of which are rotated."

Having said this, Jeff paused, as if to give everyone in the conference room time to accept it. In fact, this data did make other people in the conference room talk about it.

Even Xia Duo was surprised by the number of people in the current development department. Unknowingly, the number of people in the development department was dozens of times the total number of people in the territory when he first opened up.

The number of people in the Development Department is only more than half of the current number of people in the territory.

"Jeff, keep talking."

"Yes, sir!" Jeff bowed slightly and continued:

"At present, the development direction of the development department is mainly concentrated in the southeast direction of the intersection of Linshui River and Wolfburg River, which is now the southeast of Linshui Village. The furthest eastward has exceeded the Tower of Time, and is two miles away from Wolfburg River. It's about two miles to the south, about two miles to the Linshui River."

Hearing this, Xia Duo nodded slightly. Compared to the people of the Development Department who could only observe from the ground, he had overlooked the territory from the sky many times. At present, his territory is almost a quarter of a circle southeast of the intersection of the two rivers. .

The radius is as Jeff said, about two miles.

Jeff's introduction continued, "Currently, the Development Department is able to advance the front line by about one meter every day. Once the new residents who have recently joined become familiar with the development work, it will be even faster."

I could only listen to these words. Xia Duo didn't take them seriously. It was true that the latest batch of new citizens had only been added a few days ago, but that batch was transported by Hans and several chambers of commerce, with a total of only about 500 people.

Excluding the old, weak, minors, and some women, only half of the people can join the development department and participate in front-line development. How much influence can these half of the people have on ten times the number of development departments?

Perhaps optimizing the management of the development department and coordinating the cooperation between various types of work will have the biggest impact.

However, Xia Duo is not good at this aspect, but Jeff's deputy Clark is better at it. If calculated based on talent alone, Clark is more qualified than Jeff to be the director of the development department.

However, Clark's original status as a slave made it difficult for Shado to suddenly promote him. Of course, his main consideration was Layton's feelings.

There will always be prejudice between different cultures and different beliefs.

For example, Xia Duo has been memorizing "Baili Xiju in the Market" since he was a child. It is not unacceptable to go from a slave to a doctor, as long as he is really talented.

But Leiden found it difficult to accept that a slave could directly become a normal citizen without any means. This was still the result of Sha Duo's influence.

According to Leighton's original idea, there was no need to pardon slaves, as this would infringe on the interests of the lord.

But this is obviously not in line with Chateau's philosophy, and certainly not in his interests, but Leiden cannot yet understand why freedom brings more benefits than slavery.

…

After Jeff finished speaking, Jiaco, the director of the Resettlement Department, also stood up and began to introduce the department:

"Sir, the Resettlement Department has only 54 people. It is mainly responsible for the identity registration, housing resettlement, department allocation, information updating, and file preservation of all the residents in the territory."

The introduction was completed in just a few sentences. What he said was something that everyone in the conference room could usually see. Although he said less than Jeff, it was more understandable.

The next person who got up was Cade from the logistics department. After Jaco sat down again, Cade jumped up nervously and stammered:

"Sir, everyone, there are more than 800 people in the rear and logistics departments, which are mainly divided into canteens, warehouses, workshops, construction, mobile, etc."

Later, Cade couldn't hold back a few words and was almost stunned on the spot, but Xia Duo didn't embarrass him and asked him to sit down.

Cade was originally just an ordinary citizen of the territory. Because of his pragmatism and the fact that he was the first person to be assigned a house in the territory, Xia Duocai appointed him as the supervisor of the wooden house manufacturing workshop. He was later promoted to the logistics supervisor and he has been working diligently.

Naturally, Sha Duo would not deny his previous achievements just because of a poor performance in a report. He motioned to Leiden to introduce him to everyone.

The Logistics Department, as the name suggests, is responsible for logistics. Xia Duo is even more concerned about this department than the Development Department. Every time he returns to the territory, the first thing he asks Leiden about is logistics.

Today, there are more than 800 people in the logistics department. Of course, more than half of them are minors, that is, under the age of 16, and there are even many infants and young children.

At first, all those who followed Sha Duolai to open up were young adults. Later, only minors were among the people brought from the north. The Langas and the Nese people convened by the Sevington Council all brought their families to the south. , became the leader of Daxia.

The reason why minors are placed in the logistics department is mainly because Xia Duo hopes to include all territorial residents under direct management during the pioneering period, even if it is only in name.

Leiden's introduction was much more detailed than Cade's own sentence, and even included several major projects in the territory in the past, such as organizing night school literacy classes, laying brick roads, building new residential areas, etc., all of which were provided by logistics. The department is responsible.

…

After Layton introduced Cade, the former druid Atwood stood up, but he seemed a little unaccustomed to such an occasion and acted coyly.

"Lord, I currently stay in the logistics department and lead a few apprentices. Apart from that, what I am doing is cultivating seedlings for the next autumn sowing."

Xia Duo asked him to do the seedling cultivation. As for "that thing" he was talking about, it was about the promotion of the new natural concept, but it is inappropriate to put it here. After all, Atwood's only official position now is Xia Duo. agricultural consultant.

Jabas's introduction afterwards was quite interesting, as if he were telling adventure stories, which was indeed the case.

If Xia Duo hadn't interrupted in time, he probably could have continued talking until dark.

Currently, Jabas is responsible for the exploration of ruins in the territory. Recently, he even received an order from Shado to prepare to dig a new ruins along the trail extending to the southeast from the previous ruins.

The scale-armored creature statue unearthed from the ruins is currently the only thing that can replace arcane crystals to expand the portable space. Xia Duo wants more!

After interrupting Jabas in time, it was the turn of the four captains of the Territory Guard system. Currently, the Territory Guard is not independent and Leiden can also command it. Therefore, Shado has not appointed a separate military commander.

Currently, there are about 500 direct combatants in the Territory Guard, including the scouts trained by Ava, which is slightly more than one-tenth of the population.

Mainly responsible for daily patrols, alerts, guards, out exploration, map drawing, cleaning up wild beasts, etc.

What makes Xia Duo more happy is that currently more than 20 people in the Territory Guard have learned to use magic items, and it is not an empty talk to fully popularize them in the future.

By the time Ava finished briefly introducing the situation at the training ground, the current overall overview of the territory had been presented to everyone in a relatively complete manner.
