Chapter 2514: Plaza Renovation, Laiton's Return

Soon, the two continued their conversation about the Midsummer Festival.

Midsummer Recruitment has always been a tradition in Savile Territory; although Xia Duo made quite a few changes after taking charge, most were minor adjustments to the format, such as standardizing the process, increasing the use of Spells, and changing the scope of the questions.

The new recruitment format achieved good results and feedback during the Snow Melting Recruitment in the first half of this year, so it will continue for the Midsummer Festival; for the time being, there is no need for excessive intervention.

But this year's Midsummer Festival is also an important part of the integration work between the Daxia Territory and Savile Territory in the north and south. At the beginning of the year, Xia Duo decided to hold only one celebration for the Midsummer Festival, but let the people of both territories participate together.

In the original plan, after Xia Duo returned from the Projection Plane, he would set about building the World Incubator and then renovate the Central Plaza of Savile Town or the Code Plaza of Daxia Territory.

But ever since Xia Duo returned from the Projection Plane, one thing after another has come up. The World Incubator was built because the new city plan required it, but there has been no time to carry out the plaza renovation.

Time flies, and with the Midsummer Festival only a few days away, if the plaza is not renovated in time, the grand celebration specifically prepared by the Territory might fall through.

This is something Xia Duo does not want to see, so when chatting with Niya about the Midsummer celebration, he mentioned the plaza renovation plan again; for now, only Saville has the time for this.

His and Niya's schedules are packed full. This opportunity for the New Covenant had already disrupted their plans, and although the results look good now, neither of them has any intention of changing their plans further.

Therefore, Saville will have to be inconvenienced. Xia Duo nudged Niya and was about to speak, but Niya, as if they shared a telepathic connection, spoke first:

"I'll have Great-grandfather do it!"

"Alright, I will go help as well."

Xia Duo ultimately could not bear to pile everything onto Niya. The help he spoke of was not helping Niya persuade Saville, but going to renovate the plaza together with Saville.

Affected by the assassination incident, Xia Duo's plans had already changed quite a bit, and most importantly, his arrangements were not so tight that he couldn't spare a day or two.

If it really reached that point, it wouldn't be Xia Duo making plans and arrangements, but the schedule controlling him!

……

Time quickly arrived at the eve of the Midsummer Festival. The Central Plaza of Savile Town had already been renovated. It was also on this day that Laiton returned from the Tianshui Plane and brought back good news—

The number of people in the Tianshui Plane who have the intention to migrate and have already registered their migration applications has exceeded two hundred thousand, and under the publicity of the recruitment team led by Laiton and Jiake, more than half of these two hundred thousand people are more inclined to join the Daxia Territory.

Rather than opening up new land or joining other territories in the Main Plane.

In other words, in just a few days, Laiton and Jiake completed the task Xia Duo had given them half a month to do. Of course, this is still just an intention and has not been truly implemented yet.

But for this Midsummer Festival, Laiton did not just return by himself; he also brought back an advance observation group of several hundred people from the Tianshui Plane.

The vast majority of these are representatives of free citizens who can migrate freely, and there are also more than a dozen Tianshui Plane lords. The latter will also observe in the Daxia Territory, but will not stay for too long and will leave for Seventon after the Midsummer Festival.

Linshui Village, Lord's Villa.

Laiton, much like a Bard, recounted every experience of his trip to the Tianshui Plane. After listening, Xia Duo expressed high praise for the work of Laiton, Jiake, and the others, and then proposed:

"Your task for these few days is to arrange for people to entertain those guests from the Tianshui Plane. Of course, the explanation of the territory's regulations cannot be forgotten. Although they are guests, they must also abide by the territory's laws and regulations."

Complex and cumbersome legal provisions are not necessarily a restriction; clarifying rights and obligations is actually a form of protection. Presumably, anyone who has experienced a lord's verbal decrees would agree.

"Yes, Lord."

Laiton immediately agreed. In fact, when he was in the Tianshui Plane, he had already explained the precautions of the territory to these people.

Then Laiton hesitated slightly and said another thing, "A few Tianshui Plane lords want to see you, my lord, before they leave."

"There is no need for a meeting. As lords, it is unlikely they will join our territory. As for setting obstacles in the process of recruiting people, that is also impossible. If they dare to do so, I dare to let them stay in the Tianshui Plane forever and never come out."

"Then how should I reply to them?"

"Does this still need a reply? No reply is the best reply."

Xia Duo is not worried about those Tianshui Plane lords causing him trouble. After all, those people should thank him for being able to return to the Main Plane, and the immigration itself was not Xia Duo's idea, but a unanimous decision within the Tianshui Plane.

Perhaps some lords will not return to the Main Plane for the time being, but their right to return to the Main Plane is indeed guaranteed by the consensus reached before the signing of the New Covenant.

But as long as they cause trouble, restricting individual lords from setting foot in the Main Plane is also easy for Xia Duo.

Most of the future Tianshui Plane will be transferred to the Main Plane, and the land there will be partly given to the remaining lords and partly restored to its natural landscape.

Another part will be used for trade as a return for the assistance of the Main Plane lords during the immigration process. As long as Xia Duo is willing, with his status as the provider of the Plane Portal, it is not difficult to get any piece of land in the Tianshui Plane.

It's just that he really doesn't need an extra piece of useless land. If he wants to travel, he can go at any time; in fact, there is nothing to play with over there.

The Qiya Plane, on the other hand, is the largest of the three planes, but because it has the smallest population (only fifty or sixty thousand) and the natural landscape is well preserved (only one small basin is developed), it is actually the most suitable plane for tourism.

……

Having received Xia Duo's clear Indication, Laiton soon took his leave. Xia Duo did not immediately return to the Floating City, but instead observed the guests from the Tianshui Plane directly from the study in the villa.

At the same time, in the Code Plaza, seven or eight teams, each composed of dozens of people who could be identified as outsiders at a glance, left the north side of the plaza one after another under the guidance of security officers wearing conspicuous orange uniforms.

The north side of the Code Plaza is actually the Daxia-Saville Territory Passage. Nowadays, near the Zhengqiche Zhantai at the south end of this passage, it is full of Steam Cars sent from the Floating City.

Originally, those Steam Cars were for the members of the Tower of Time to play with in the Floating City, and children in the territory would also be taken along to play with them. Now, they are perfectly capable of picking up and dropping off guests.

And not far from the Steam Car platform, a huge Airship is slowly descending. In addition to ground transportation, Laiton also arranged air transportation.

It's just that the Airship looks quite large, but the gasbag actually takes up most of it. The cabin below has very limited passenger capacity. If comfort is not considered, it's no problem to fit a hundred or so people, but if comfort is considered, twenty or thirty people is about the limit.

The ones Laiton arranged to take the Airship to Savile Territory were those dozen or so Tianshui Plane lords, as well as representatives of free citizens who had confirmed they would join the Daxia Territory and had a group of people behind them joining as well.

It can be said that under Xia Duo's influence, Laiton also managed to set examples everywhere.
