Lord of Arcane

As for the construction of the new army, Xia Duo's suggestion was to stop recruiting new soldiers from ordinary people and instead recruit directly from the new mages of the Tower of Time.

Doing this may result in a very small number of people being recruited each time, but as long as you persist, you will definitely gain something.

"In addition to regular recruitment work, we must also pay attention to political work. In this regard, I will transfer a group of people from the Advanced Studies Society to give you a framework, but you must also actively learn. The military commander of the new era must not only have combat skills, but also have sharp and solid ideological weapons!"

In fact, Chateau did not have very high expectations for Simon. The new army was very important in his plan, but it was a responsibility far beyond what Simon could shoulder.

But at the moment he has not found any talent with special talents in this area, so he can only train Simon for the time being. If Simon can always follow the progress of the new order, it is not impossible to let Simon be in charge of the new army.

As for the Academy of Advanced Studies joining the army, this was already part of the plan. Currently, the Academy of Advanced Studies has taken root in the Tower of Time and has begun to spread to the territory. The army will certainly not be an exception.

The goal is also very clear, which is to "establish the branch in the company"!
The full name of the Progress Society is "Progressive Study Society". The key point is "progress". So not only in magic learning, but also in all aspects of work and life, members of the Progress Society must give full play to their progressive side and play an exemplary leading role.

This is not only Xia Duo's expectation for them, but also Xia Duo's requirement for them!

……

After talking about the most critical military changes, Shado's expression relaxed a lot and he asked Simon about the pilot program of digital blue gold coins within the territory guard.

Previously, when the physical currency of blue gold coins was replaced in the territory, the trial started with the territory guards. Some people even participated in multiple experiments before the physical currency was put into use.

So later, Shaduo also put the digital blue gold coin pilot project into the territory guards. Simon, as the commander of the territory guards, was of course also included in the pilot project, and was also responsible for collecting various feedback during the trial period.

Hearing Xia Duo mention this, Simon was fully prepared. With a hint of excitement, he immediately replied, "Sir, up to now, no abnormality has been found in the balance function of all soldiers.

“In actual use, we found that the biggest problem was the lack of usage scenarios. Basically, we only used the balance on our ID cards to redeem physical blue gold coins when we received our monthly salary.

"There are occasional borrowing and returning between soldiers, but it's not common. It's mostly for testing. Recently, the novelty has worn off, and the only thing left is monthly exchanges."

"So you want to obtain more application scenarios for digital blue gold coins?" Xia Duo asked.

"Yes, although there are still many people who think that the number displayed on the ID card is not safe enough, it is really convenient, and it can be exchanged for physical blue gold coins at any time. As long as you overcome the initial worry in your heart, all the benefits will come later."

Although Simon didn't know the principle of the digital blue gold coin, after using it for some time, he had been captured by this new form of currency.

As he said, those who do not trust the digital blue gold coins can exchange them for physical currency as soon as they get them. In this way, even if there are any problems with the digital blue gold coins, the losses will be minimized.

Simon himself trusts digital blue gold coins very much. Although he also exchanges a portion of his salary into physical blue gold coins every month, it is mostly because he cannot use the digital balance on his ID card to pay outside.

If the shops outside could pay with digital balance, he would definitely deposit all his money into digital balance.

He had heard of people losing the blue gold coins they were carrying with them, but he had never heard of anyone's digital balance on their ID card inexplicably decreasing or increasing.

This may be because there are not many people using this function now. When everyone in the territory can use this function, if this status can be maintained, he believes that even the most conservative people will try to use it!

"It just so happens that I plan to expand the pilot program in the near future. So I will first activate the digital balance function on the ID cards for the families of the Territorial Guards, and then Leighton—"

At this point, Xia Duo looked at Leighton, who was still in Simon's office, and gave the latest instructions, "Add a digital balance payment window to the territory cafeteria.

“Also, you can find a few merchants in Linshui Town and talk to them about launching digital balance payment. I believe that anyone with business acumen will not miss this opportunity.

"In this way, members of the Territory Guard and their families can use the digital balance function in the Territory cafeteria or other stores. Let's try it out for a month, starting from now."

Judging from Simon's feedback, there is no problem with the numerical value of the digital blue gold coins. There may be some problems in usage or points that can be optimized, but Simon is now quite enthusiastic about the digital blue gold coins.

Simon's words may be exaggerated, so Shaduo asked Leighton to collect feedback from users of digital blue gold coins.

Leighton has always enjoyed Chateau's trust. Except for a few areas where he lacks experience due to his lack of vision, he is almost perfect in other areas.

Moreover, due to his long-term immersion in the Daxia Order, Leiden has his own unique insights into the belief in the Lord of Light. He has not abandoned his faith, but has combined it with the Daxia Order to develop a new understanding of the belief in the Lord of Light with Daxia characteristics.

Xia Duo is very optimistic about this. Although during this process, Leiden was confused because of the reduction of divine grace in the beginning, as long as he insists on doing what he believes in, he will be worthy of himself and the people.

And the subsequent increase in God’s grace proved that what he did was right!

The reason why Shaduo did not give the digital blue gold coin pilot task to Leiden at the beginning was not only because the main members of the territory guards were relatively closed and disciplined, but also because letting others share the pressure with Leiden was a very important reason.

As for now, it is no longer a question of whether there is pressure or not, but a time when it is imperative. As the governor of the territory, Leiden must take on his own responsibilities.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Leiden has to bear all of this alone. He has a complete team of secretaries and assistants, and Chateau, as the lord, gives him the greatest support.

In fact, for Leighton, what could be happier than practicing his own path? Even if it was hard or tiring, he felt happy.

……

About an hour later, Chateau and Leighton left the barracks together. Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded Simon that building a new army was a heavy responsibility and must be taken seriously.

On the way back to the Government Affairs Office, Shado and Leighton chatted casually about various topics in the territory. "By the way, regarding the integration of the two places, have you encountered any difficulties recently?"

"No, it went very smoothly." (End of this chapter)
