Chapter 584: Inspecting the Territory (Part II)

As for the decomposition of the main trunks and the transportation, other working groups are responsible for that.

Xia Duo chatted for a while with the Supervisor who was responsible for coordinating the progress of the various working groups here. Of course, he did not offer any suggestions for improvement; long-term practice had already allowed the various working groups to form a relatively efficient operational model, and Xia Duo naturally could not cause trouble out of thin air.

However, he did remind this Supervisor to be adept at discovering the universal laws of organizational operation and exploring more efficient organizational methods, and he allowed this Supervisor to adjust the personnel structure of the working groups, no longer limiting each group to 10 people, nor limiting the structure to only the working group level.

So as to better fit reality.

After inspecting the pioneer front, Xia Duo immediately went to look at the third phase of the residential area. Currently, the number of people in the Territory is approaching one thousand, and more than four hundred new residents will join next, with a steady stream of new residents arriving thereafter.

This will continue until the one-year period rewarded by the 【Silver Ring Badge】 expires. It is foreseeable that it is unlikely for Xia Duo to obtain the 【Silver Ring Badge】 again this year.

On one hand, he had already received it once last year due to the "Pioneer Handbook" and the performance of the Territory, and this year, he has not made many achievements in territory pioneering, so it is unlikely that the Princess will award him the 【Silver Ring Badge】;

On the other hand, even if he were to obtain the 【Silver Ring Badge】 again, he is not prepared to transport people anymore. Too many people are also a burden, especially since the current farmland area of Daxia Territory is far smaller than the area of land necessary for food self-sufficiency.

With so many mouths to feed, buying grain to eat all the time puts a lot of pressure even on Xia Duo.

But to maintain a state of high-speed pioneering, he has no choice but to keep providing food to the residents. After all, there are no wages, and if he doesn't provide food, the residents aren't robots—it would be a wonder if they didn't rebel!

Of course, besides food and the pie-in-the-sky promise of land, the housing problem is also something Xia Duo is very concerned about.

Currently, the Territory already has three phases of residential areas. The first phase consists of those who first followed Xia Duo from Savile Territory to pioneer here, and the second batch consists of the Langasi people brought from the north by merchant groups like those of Silaiwen and Hans.

The third phase has the largest area, mainly consisting of the batch of people transported from Seventon last time, and the composition of this group of personnel is very complex, coming from many different territories in the Inner Land.

Of course, regardless of what their status was before, they now only have one identity, and that is Daxia People.

Ordinary people have a very low sense of identification with Netheril, especially in terms of spiritual culture—it is almost non-existent. What ordinary people come into contact with are only various territories and lords. Normally, one must at least become a Spellcaster and be able to come into contact with the outside world before they will develop a sense of identification with Netheril.

It just so happens that Xia Duo is an outsider, and his only sense of identification with Netheril is probably organizational. The human instinct to band together and the reality of his interests make him lean toward Netheril.

As for a sense of identification on the spiritual and cultural level, it is almost non-existent; he even wants to reproduce his hometown culture, thereby influencing Netheril and making it the mainstream! The current Daxia Territory has barbarians in the eyes of the Netherese, as well as humans from territories that were originally hostile to each other, or humans from strange territories that originally had no concept of each other. This is the best time to fuse and temper the Daxia attributes.

Therefore, in every aspect of the Territory, Xia Duo has left his own mark.

……

While inspecting the third phase of the residential area, Xia Duo chatted idly with Laidun, "Are the new residents who arrived in the last batch settling in well?"

"They are settling in well. Most of them are landless farmers. Now that you, my Lord, have given them the opportunity to regain land, how could they not give their all for it!"

Xia Duo was noncommittal and suddenly changed the subject, "You, Jibu, and Aiwa should discuss this: the Territory Guard needs to recruit new people. The goal of this expansion is to increase the number of the Territory Guard to 200. Of course, I do not require this goal to be reached in a short time. Pay attention to the quality of the personnel, take it slowly, and prioritize selecting young and middle-aged people with families to join."

"Yes, I will discuss it with Jibu and Aiwa."

"By the way, another batch of new residents is arriving soon. Is the fourth phase of the residential area ready?"

"It is ready. The new residents can move in at any time."

"That's good!"

Ever since he learned that the 【Silver Ring Badge】 could be used to transport people from Seventon for a year, Xia Duo adjusted the development plan and construction of Daxia Territory. Currently, it is more similar to a corporate model.

Everyone is organized into working groups (except for minors!!), living together, working collectively, and eating collectively in the Canteen. In the absence of machinery, they fully utilize human resources and organizational advantages to concentrate their strength to pioneer the land first.

Afterward, whether it is dividing into sections and zones, or building towns and villages, it will not be too late to re-plan. After all, the initial plan came about this way, just with a slightly longer time span.

Now, it just happens to be a good opportunity; how could he not launch a Great Leap Forward!

……

After inspecting the various residential areas, Xia Duo continued to inspect the office area, the Woodworking Workshop, the Canteen, the warehouse, and the brick kiln. After one round, Xia Duo had a comprehensive and full understanding of the development trend of the entire Territory.

Among them, he found the most significant change, and the one he was most happy to see, was that the images of the Netherese and the Langasi were beginning to blur, beginning to tend toward unity, and were in the process of merging into Daxia People.

Of course, this process will last for a long time, perhaps even until Daxia Territory ends this pioneering state, it may not be completed, but Xia Duo has the confidence to continue pushing it forward.

……

Returning to the Lord's Villa, which had already undergone simple decoration, Xia Duo looked through the resident data organized by Laidun in the Study. A large, thick stack of documents recorded the main information of all the residents of Daxia Territory.

Such as identifiable features, place of origin, previous work, work they are good at, family relationships, reasons for coming to Daxia Territory, current address, the working group they belong to, and so on.

Flipping through page after page, Xia Duo missed the computers on Earth immensely, even though he hated computers back then—either staying up late to write code or staying up late to write text, it was simply not a life for a human.

But now, without a computer, it is truly too inconvenient.

Even this most basic reading and organizing of documents requires a huge amount of time and energy. Perhaps a Tower Spirit could be used as a substitute, so how can one possess a Tower Spirit?

The Tower of Time does not have relevant information on creating or purchasing a Tower Spirit, and he does not know if Niya did not open the query Permission Level to him, or if the Great Arcanist Saville did not leave any relevant information in the first place.

Perhaps he can find an opportunity to ask Niya.
