Lord of Arcane

Chapter 904
Sure enough, after hearing the lord's request, Atwood's eyebrows were all frowned, and his face was full of embarrassment, "My lord, I am willing to share your worries, but I am really incompetent for this job, I'm afraid I will let you down expectations."

"There is no need to refuse. I am not asking you to write it immediately. This is a long-term task. If you have suitable candidates, you can also recruit yourself and complete it together. I don't make any restrictions."

Not only that, Xia Duo is also planning to recruit people from Savile, and even Severton. Right now, it is just to set a framework, and then it will be filled in slowly.

Having said that, Atwood said nothing more, but sat back in his seat with a pensive expression.

……

"There are three more things to do next. One is the issue of the security of the territory. Now that the population of the territory is nearly [-], disputes and even disputes are inevitable. If it is not handled properly, it will easily lead to a bigger accident.

"Gibb, now I appoint you as the magistrate of the territory, responsible for maintaining the law and order of the territory and handling emergencies!
"Your first task is to recruit recruits, expand the number of your men to 200, and then build a security station near the second residential area in the east as a permanent office space. From now on, the patrol tasks inside the territory will be handed over to Here you go!"

Gibb is considered an old man in the Great Xia, so when there is a suitable new appointment, Xia Duo will always think of him first.

The work of a sheriff seems cumbersome, but it is not as dangerous as a frontline soldier. Xia Duo still loves the old man who has been following him.

Gibb himself fully accepted this, and he stood up with a little excitement, and said loudly: "Yes, my lord!"

Not long ago, he just brought his wife and children from Savile Town to Daxia Territory, and he is currently working 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 the magistrate of the territory, he no longer has to worry about not being able to return from the field, or the territory is attacked, or his family is injured.

He can protect his family nearby, so why would he be dissatisfied!
Not to mention, in terms of position, the sheriff is much nicer than the previous captain of the territorial guard, and he has more people under him.

……

"Ava!"

"My lord, please issue an order!"

"I think it's best to entrust this matter to you. Three long-term outposts will be established in the east, south, and west directions of the territory to record surrounding environmental information and warn of things that may threaten the territory. I will give you A batch of teleportation scrolls, choose veterans, I don’t want any accidents to happen. If you need any supplies, go to the logistics department to get them. If they don’t have them, just come to me.”

"Yes!"

After arranging this matter, Xia Duo felt a little more relaxed. In fact, the purpose of establishing a long-term outpost in Luzhu Forest is to swear sovereignty.

Although in the country of Netheril, the Green Pearl Forest is already owned by the Savile Territory by default, this is only a default and an unspoken rule. If someone does not admit it, there is no way.

Just like the former Lord Rodney, who insisted on coming to the Green Pearl Forest to open up new lands, the Savile Lord could object or resist, but the problem was that he was not capable enough to expel the opponent.

However, Her Royal Highness, the big backer of the Savile Land, did not object to such behavior, at least she could not express her objection on the surface, because this behavior actually supported the pioneering movement led by her.

After all, the Green Bead Forest does not have a strict master in terms of legal principles. If you object, you will be slapped in the face.

This is actually a certain degree of "a gentleman can be bullied". As long as a person sticks to the principle, he can naturally use this principle to restrict him.

But this is where beliefs and ideas lie. A person without principles is terrible. In this case, Xia Duo would rather not get the help of the princess than hope that the princess is a person without principles.

Since we can't get support from above in this matter, we have to work hard on our own.

Building some outposts in advance will at least 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 create a "since ancient times".

There is still a big difference between whether a matter is just or not, Xia Duo certainly will not ignore it.

……

"The last thing is related to the resettlement department of the people. The population issue is the most important thing in the development of the territory. The rapid development of the Daxia territory in the past year is inseparable from the nearly [-] new citizens.

"However, these citizens were all recruited by the Severton Council. Now that the one-year reward period for the silver ring badge is about to pass, it is difficult to recruit so many new citizens only by the Daxia leader itself.

"Therefore, I decided to restart the population introduction plan that was interrupted by the silver ring badge award a year ago, and I will hand over this matter to the Residential Resettlement Department.

"Jia Ke, you should contact the Hans, Slavin, Shining Gold, and Liaton chambers of commerce in Savile Land as soon as possible to discuss the specific introduction plan.

"I just want to mention one point, no coercion, no dark tricks, just clarify the facts. What I need are new citizens, not enemies, and this must always be kept in mind!"

In fact, this matter is not very difficult. The few chambers of commerce brought back a Langas tribe named "Kadun" from the northern region before, and they already have some experience.

Some issues that need to be paid attention to when recruiting have been mentioned by Xia Duo before, and I will reiterate it now to express the importance I attach to it.

If it's buying slaves, it's okay to say that you are the liberator after all, but if the people you send out rely on fraud or coercion to get them, then the hatred will be concentrated in Daxia.

Perhaps Da Xia Ling's excellent environment can eliminate hatred, but Xia Duo is unwilling to take risks.

You must know that he is planning to popularize knowledge and magic in the territory. It would be too wronged if he really cultivated a heartless and sworn enemy of the great arcanist.

If some hidden dangers can be avoided in the early stage, then try to avoid them as much as possible. This is also Xia Duo's consistent principle.

Even the strong, if they don't pay attention to these details, they will accumulate more and more over time. From the perspective of the immortals, they will definitely stumble over these small things in the future!
To paraphrase a saying in Xiuxian's novel, it probably means "reduce cause and effect, so as to avoid backlash"!
……

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

And after he left, the meeting was not over. Before, it could only be regarded as a subordinate debriefing meeting and a leadership instruction meeting, but now it is a real regular meeting between the heads of various departments in the territory.

Xia Duo also knew that they would have discussions on the few new things he proposed, and staying there would only increase the pressure on them, making them unable to speak freely and making the discussion formal.

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