Chapter 2306: Territory Development Plan

As for the long-term plan, it is mainly divided into two parts: one aims to develop the population—internally by encouraging childbirth, and externally by introducing new residents—while simultaneously ensuring the necessary supporting work is done.

Such as the formulation and refinement of relevant policies, the construction and improvement of infrastructure, the implementation and inspection of relevant administrative work, and so on.

The other part of the long-term plan is the Magic Civilianization, which is also a very grand topic; the process of Magic Civilianization in Daxia Territory began with the Magic Affairs Officer established by Xia Duo, but this is by no means the end.

Instead, it is a massive plan covering fields such as education, manufacturing, and infrastructure, requiring the participation and construction of all residents, and ultimately, shared by all.

The specific manifestation of this plan in the short to medium term is the continuous promotion of universal education and the downward transfer of wealth; of course, during this process, manufacturing, infrastructure, and the consumption built upon them will also develop simultaneously.

Otherwise, simply having a large number of Spellcasters emerge or handing out money directly is clearly not a good thing; this would instead cause social chaos and the loss of wealth.

It needs to be combined with manufacturing and construction to allow education investment, money flow, and talent employment to achieve a positive cycle.

These are the general directions Xia Duo has set for Daxia Territory; as for the specific policies within the Territory and the methods of implementation, they will be left to Administrator Yilaidun and the heads of various departments to negotiate and decide.

The current Daxia Territory is long past the days of being a makeshift team of only a few dozen people where he had to decide and handle everything personally; the current Daxia Territory is already a vibrant and perfect organization capable of operating on its own.

In fact, the moment the Daxia Code was promulgated, Xia Duo had already set the tone for the development of Daxia Territory; what he is doing now is merely deepening this point and making it more in line with the magical characteristics of this world.

As long as the territorial administrative team with Yilaidun at its core follows the legislative spirit of the Daxia Code, the magical civilization can be fully developed.

The so-called "governing by doing nothing" is nothing more than this.

……

The Floating City has stopped at the edge of the Plane, but it seems to have little impact on those within it; occasionally, during holidays, residents from the Territory even come over to visit.

As for entertainment facilities, there is only a prototype of a Zero-G Playground located near Hengchun Square, which is not yet open to the public, but the Plane Barrier itself is enough to open the eyes of all ordinary residents who come here.

The study on the top floor of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo and Niya sat opposite each other with a tea table in between, and a cup of steaming Bonu Tea was placed on the edge near each of them.

At this moment, Niya was staring absentmindedly at the scene of the Plane edge displayed on the Projection Window, including the small metal sticks still standing there to mark the position, as well as the territorial residents who were still curiously experimenting near the Plane Barrier.

Xia Duo, meanwhile, had his eyes slightly closed, experiencing the brand-new taste brought by the new tea while communicating with Saville and Aiboke in the Spirit Thought Network regarding issues related to the Creation Mythallar.

It has been over half a month since the Floating City stopped at the edge of the Plane; regarding the Creation Mythallar, Xia Duo and Saville have conducted more than one experiment, but these two forces, which clearly have similar or even identical essences, have consistently been unable to merge harmoniously.

After discussing it recently, the two unanimously agreed that the reason might lie in the Mythallar; although the Mythallar is actually built on the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net, it also has a quite strong influence on the microscopic Magic Net String.

Otherwise, it would not be able to interfere with Spellcasting or shape specific spells.

The Creation Power, however, appears quite free, and this freedom brings about a result: as long as there is the slightest disturbance at the microscopic level, the properties of the Creation Power will change.

This in itself is not a problem, because the Creation Power is essentially a change in the macroscopic Magic Net, but the problem is that to precisely control the Creation Power, one cannot let its properties change at will.

Xia Duo is truly curious about how Yimaska controlled the Creation Power, because if one wants to use external objects to manipulate the macroscopic structure of the Magic Net, it ultimately still has to be implemented at the microscopic level.

Currently, research on the Creation Mythallar has entered a bottleneck stage; if there are no new ideas next, it might have to be temporarily shelved.

"Sigh—"

The new Bonu Tea is undoubtedly excellent, but the lack of progress in research still made Xia Duo sigh, and this sigh drew Niya's attention.

"What's wrong? Do you want to go back?"

"Yes, I want to go back!"

Xia Duo also began to stare out the window in a daze, "Time passes too quickly; it feels like it's going to be May before I know it, and the Seven Towers have already sent an invitation."

"The Seven Towers? The Snow Melting Competition?" A divine light of interest first appeared in Niya's eyes, but it quickly vanished.

"Yes, it is said that this year there will also be Elves from Illefarn and Evereska participating; it will certainly be livelier than in the past, but that's about it, and—"

Xia Duo did not say the rest; this Snow Melting Competition is very likely a show of force carefully planned by the Seven Towers, and as for what they are showing off, it is, of course, the Mythallar.

This made Xia Duo even less inclined to go.

As long as he goes, others will inevitably compare him with the Seven Towers, and perhaps the Seven Towers also harbor thoughts of competition; it is not that Xia Duo is afraid of comparison or competition, but that there is no need.

He cares more about practical benefits than empty fame.

But it is unlikely that the Seven Towers would bring out a Plane Crystal to attract him to Seventon, and as for other things, Xia Duo is not very interested in them right now.

Besides, Xia Duo has already been high-profile a few times before; in Netheril, there is inevitably a suspicion of usurping the host's role, so it is time for the Seven Towers to have their moment in the spotlight.

At the current stage, as long as the Seven Towers do not show obvious signs of rebellion (establishing an Ascension Order), Xia Duo does not intend to have any overt conflict with them.

The most important thing now is to accumulate strength; everything else can be temporarily shelved.

"You don't want to go see the Snow Melting Competition?" Niya asked in surprise.

"Hmm, I least want to see it this year, and it's always the same few events, with not much new meaning; let's talk about it in a couple of years."

Actually, the Arcane Competition on the Elf side is more exciting, but the Seven Towers would certainly not be willing to introduce it directly; otherwise, if the scene were dominated by Elves, it would be too embarrassing.

But as more Northland countries participate in the Snow Melting Competition and the proportion of Elves rises, some Elves will certainly propose adding new events; by then, if the Seven Towers do not want the Snow Melting Competition to become a third-rate minor competition, they will certainly agree.

After all, this reflects to a certain extent the influence of Netheril in the Northland Alliance, and the Seven Towers would rather lose the competition than let it cease to exist.

In fact, Xia Duo also wants to host an Arcane Competition in the name of the Tower of Time or Daxia, with the purpose, of course, of expanding influence and communicating with all parties, but right now, as a "hidden dragon in the abyss," he can only think about it for now.

……

"Let's go, let's go check the marker positions outside, and after we finish checking, we'll go back!" Xia Duo greeted Niya and left the study first.

It has been over half a month, and although the edge of the Plane does not seem to have expanded at all, distances invisible to the naked eye may not necessarily be undetectable by spells.

Having waited for so many days, there must be a result.

And not just this time; Xia Duo does not intend to take back those small marker sticks, but rather come over periodically to check and keep long-term records, so as to better reflect the true state of the Plane's expansion.
