Arcane Lord

Sure enough, after hearing the Lord's request, Atwood's eyebrows were knitted together, and his face was full of embarrassment, "Sir, I am willing to share your worries, but I am really not competent for this job, I am afraid that I will disappoint your expectations."

"Don't refuse, I am not asking you to write it out immediately, this is a long-term task, if you have the right person, you can also recruit and complete it together, I will not impose any restrictions."

Not only that, Shaduo is also preparing to recruit people from Savile County and even Seventon. Now it is just to set a framework and then slowly fill it in.

He said so, Atwood didn't say anything, and sat back in his original position with a thoughtful expression.

...

"There are three more things to do next. One is the issue of territory security. Now the territory has a population of nearly 10,000, and disputes and even disputes are inevitable. If not handled properly, it is easy to cause a bigger accident.

"Gib, now I appoint you as the territory sheriff, responsible for maintaining territory security and handling emergencies!

"Your first task is to recruit new soldiers and expand the number of your men to 200. After that, a police station will be built near the second residential area in the east as a permanent office. The patrol mission within the territory will be handed over to you in the future!"

Jibu is an old man in Daxia Territory, so when there is a suitable new appointment, Xia Duo always thinks of him first.

The work of the sheriff seems tedious, but it is not as dangerous as the front-line soldiers. Xia Duo still cares for the old man who has been following him.

Jibu himself fully accepts this. He stood up with a little excitement and said loudly: "Yes, sir!"

Not long ago, he just brought his wife and children from Savile Town to Daxia Territory, and is currently arranging them to work in the logistics department, but this is a pioneering territory after all, and the danger is still greater than that of a mature territory.

Now that he can become a territory sheriff, he no longer has to worry about not being able to come back from field work, or the territory being attacked, or his family being injured.

He can protect his family nearby, what else is there to be dissatisfied about!

Not to mention, from the position, the sheriff is much better than the previous captain of the territory guard, and he has more people under him.

…

"Aiva!"

"My lord, please give the order!"

"I think it is best to leave this matter to you. Establish three long-term outposts in the east, south and west of the territory to record the surrounding environment information and warn of things that may threaten the territory. I will give you a batch of teleportation scrolls. Choose an experienced person. I don't want any accidents to happen. Go to the logistics department to get any supplies you need. If they don't have them, come to me directly."

"Yes!"

After arranging this matter, Xia Duo felt a little relieved. In fact, establishing a long-term outpost in the Green Pearl Forest also has the purpose of swearing sovereignty.

Although in the country of Netheril, the Green Pearl Forest has been tacitly owned by the Savile Territory, this is only a default and an unspoken rule. If someone does not recognize it, there is nothing to do.

Just like the previous Lord Rodney, who insisted on coming to the Green Pearl Forest to open up new land, the Savile Territory could oppose and resist, but the problem is that it is not capable enough to drive the other party away.

It just so happens that the princess, the big backer of Savile, does not oppose such behavior, at least she cannot express her opposition openly, because such behavior actually supports the pioneering movement she leads.

After all, the Green Pearl Forest does not have a strict owner in legal terms. If she opposes, she will be slapping herself in the face.

This is actually a certain degree of "a gentleman can be deceived by a square". As long as a person sticks to the principle, he can naturally be restricted by this principle.

However, this is also where the belief and concept are. A person without principles is terrible. In this case, Xia Duo would rather not get the help of the princess than want the princess to be a person without principles.

Since there is no support from above in this matter, I have to work hard on my own.

Building some outposts in advance, at least it will occupy the righteousness first. Even if it is temporarily occupied by others, as long as Xia Duo is strong in the future, he can also make a "since ancient times".

Whether a thing is just or not, there is still a big difference. Xia Duo will certainly not ignore it.

…

“The last thing is related to the Department of Settlement of Territories. The population problem is the key to the development of the territory. The rapid development of the Great Xia Territory in the past year is inseparable from the nearly 10,000 new territories.

“But these territories were all recruited by the Seventon Council. Now that the one-year reward period of the Silver Ring Badge is about to end, it is difficult for the Great Xia Territory to recruit so many new territories by itself.

“Therefore, I decided to restart the population introduction plan that was interrupted by the Silver Ring Badge reward a year ago. This matter will be handed over to the Department of Settlement of Territories.

“Jaco, you should contact the Hans, Slavin, Flash Gold, and Liaton Chambers of Commerce in Savile Territory as soon as possible to discuss the specific introduction plan.

“I only want to mention one thing, no coercion or secret tricks, just clarify the facts. What I need are new territories, not enemies. Keep this in mind at all times!”

This matter is actually not very difficult. The previous chambers of commerce brought back a Langas tribe called "Kahua" from the north, and they already have some experience.

Xia Duo has mentioned before some issues that need to be paid attention to when recruiting, and I would like to reiterate them now to express how much importance I attach to them.

If it was to buy slaves, it would be fine, after all, we are the liberators, but if the people we sent out relied on deception, fraud or coercion to get people here, then the hatred would be concentrated in Daxia Territory.

Perhaps the tolerant environment of Daxia Territory could eliminate hatred, but Xia Duo was unwilling to take risks.

You know, he was going to popularize knowledge and magic in the territory. If he really cultivated a stupid archmage enemy, it would be too unfair.

Some hidden dangers, if they can be avoided in the early stage, then try to avoid them. This is also Xia Duo's consistent principle.

Even if it is a strong person, if you don't pay attention to these details, as time goes by, more and more will accumulate. From the perspective of the immortals, they will definitely fall into these small things in the future!

To use a sentence from a novel about cultivating immortals, it is probably "Less cause and effect, so as to avoid backlash"!

...

After the meeting, Xia Duo walked to the corner and flipped through the minutes of the meeting, and encouraged the clerk a few words before leaving the meeting room.

After he left, the meeting was not over. Before, it was just a report meeting for subordinates and a leader's instruction meeting, but now it was a real regular meeting between the heads of various departments in the territory.

Xia Duo also knew that they would discuss several new things he had proposed. Staying there would only add pressure to them, making it impossible for them to speak freely and making the discussion formal.

So he left decisively. Anyway, he could read the meeting minutes later to see what they discussed.
