Arcane Lord - Vol 6 Chapter 1954

Xia Duo admitted that what Laidun said was very reasonable, but the other party was not a mage after all, and he did not understand the doorway in magic items as clearly as a real expert.

Speaking of cost.

Taking the first-generation communication tool of the Tower of Time as an example, the cost of labor, including labor, is less than 200 gold coins, and in a typical Nise territory such as Savile Land, the annual income of an average craftsman is about one to this. five times.

The merchants will be higher, and the farmers will be lower, but as long as you grit your teeth and spend a few hundred gold coins to buy a magic item, you can still do it.

In Daxialing, the annual income of 300 gold coins is already the minimum income guaranteed by law, and there is basically no lower than this, only higher.

Xia Duo had long planned to use the territory as the first market for cheap magic items from the Tower of Time, so he deliberately created a high-income and high-consumption economic system in the territory.

On the one hand, it is to make the territorial citizens accustomed to consumption in gold coins, and on the other hand, it is to perfectly embed magic items into the territorial economic system.

Instead of becoming an alternative existence that only the caster group can afford, as in other territories.

Only when there are many shipments can we give full play to the mass production advantages of the Tower of Time, and use the market to test products, so as to form a positive cycle and promote the rapid iterative update of relevant experience and technology.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on the internal market of the territory. It may be enough to verify the products, but if you want to make the capital flow back to normal, you also need a large-scale external market.

To this end, Shado chose to cooperate with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to sell the Tower of Time’s mass-produced magic items to all parts of Netheril and even the Elf world.

…

In addition to reducing the production cost of magic items through mass production, Shado mostly uses transfer payments to increase the income of the citizens.

For example, subsidizing agriculture and other industries, and transferring wealth directly to official citizens;

Another example is the development subsidy. Every official citizen can receive a large amount of gold coin subsidy or salary when he grants the land. Other development areas do not have it. The specific amount is related to the number of meritorious services during the development period.

It counts as having a child, and you can also get more fields!

There is also the territorial infrastructure led by the Government Affairs Office. The salary of the recruits is far higher than that of other territories, or other territories do not pay any money at all. Those territories provide free services for the lord for a fixed number of months every year.

In addition, unlike other territories, where there are almost only a few managers, such as tax officials, clerks, etc., each department in the Daxia Territory has a large number of civil servants, and the management of the territory is almost meticulous, not as extensive as other territories.

Not to mention, the armed forces, such as the army and security guards, also have income that far exceeds that of other territories.

Basically, Shado’s high-income policy has covered all people in the territory.

Even children who are still in school, as long as they study hard and get good grades in the weekly, monthly and annual exams of the Tower of Time, family members who are still in the development stage will remember merits, and those who are already official citizens will be paid directly. .

Up to now, Xia Duo has never heard a case where the apprentices of the Tower of Time did not learn well, and each one is working hard for himself or his family.

You must know that there are quite a lot of apprentices in the Tower of Time, nearly 2,000!

Before Xia Duo’s time-travel, it was said that it was a school with 2,000 students, and everyone in it was a good student who worked hard. He wouldn’t believe it, but now, the truth is in front of him.

Of course, he also knew that in the current Netheril environment, the dissemination of knowledge was so stagnant, and everyone knew the value of knowledge, especially magical knowledge.

Whenever the people at the bottom see a little hope, they don’t do their best to work hard.

When the territorial magic education is popularized to a certain extent, there will inevitably be situations similar to those in Shado’s hometown, because the society at that time is no longer in a state of “dignity only if you know magic”.

As long as the non-professional profession can gain social recognition and safety assurance, not everyone will work hard for the wizard, or there are too many directions to work hard, and focusing on one direction will inevitably make people slack.

But in general, the more choices the people have, the more prosperous the civilization will be.

As for the progress of magic, Xia Duo believes that the driving force of one genius is far more effective than a hundred mediocrity, of course, this is on the premise of ensuring a certain number of basic researchers.

If there is no certain researcher base, it is difficult to promote the progress of magic and civilization only by relying on individual geniuses.

Therefore, Xia Duocai’s efforts to promote the popularization of magic education is to obtain a sufficient researcher base, and also to select better magic talents.

And this, and the popularization of magic items and even the process of the civilianization of magic, are actually complementary to each other, whichever one is missing, the final result will only be a lame.

Therefore, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, Xia Duo insists on promoting the popularization of magic and the popularization of education.

As for the risks mentioned by Laiton, there is nothing in this world that is risk-free! Even drinking water, some people choked to death!

As long as the risks are more manageable and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it can be a fact. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Referring to Xia Duo’s hometown, it was an electric society. Ordinary people could be related to electricity almost every moment, but as Xia Duo learned, people on earth did not have the talent to control lightning, and they would still die if they touched the electric door.

However, engineers have set up various insurance measures for electrical appliances and electrical facilities. Although they cannot completely eliminate hidden dangers, as long as the operation is standardized, the probability of accidents is very small.

The same is true for magic items. As long as the scenarios used by ordinary people are considered at the beginning of the design, and then continue to be optimized according to the use feedback, a civilian product with a high safety factor can finally be obtained.

As for the misuse of magic items, Xia Duo is not too worried about this.

At this stage, the Daxia collar has not developed to the point where the types of magic items are overflowing. The civilian magic items that the territory first promoted are all practical tools.

For example, the magic cooker, magic washing machine, magic fan, magic cultivator, magic harvester, etc. that Xia Duo is more optimistic about.

For Lingmin, these may be very new at the beginning, and you have to try them a few times, but if you use them more, and you have them in every household, you won’t be a treasure every day.

It’s like buying an induction cooker on earth. Even when the induction cooker was just emerging, normal people couldn’t keep playing with it, and only used it when needed.

At first, you may look at it a few times, but after using it for a long time, you will not feel anything at all.

…

Of course, Xia Duo did not use his knowledge and experience to suppress Laidun’s concerns. He still asked the other party to discuss with the heads of various departments at the territory meeting.

I haven’t caught a glimpse of this matter yet, at least we have to wait for Jieyin’s side to have results that can be put into practical use, and before that, the more discussions, the more problems can be found.

After all, the experience on earth is not necessarily suitable here.
