"Sir, I have been calculating the accounts for several years. I am really not suitable for this job. Otherwise, you can just find someone to take over." Lanya spread her hands and said to Lant.
Lant looked at Laniya helplessly. He originally thought that he had found an all-round talent, but now it seems that he has to find another accountant.
Peter Maned Wolf at the door was a little surprised when he heard Lanya complaining to Lant. In his impression, it was difficult for a nobleman like Lant to tolerate his subordinates giving up their jobs. Peter was worried that Lant would be angry with him.
Gandalf on the side also frowned. Lanya was very respectful and even fearful even when facing Peter, but now she dared to speak like this when facing Lant.
"Okay, you've worked hard too." Lant nodded to Lanya, "This account is indeed difficult to manage. It's not easy for you to fool the barbarians."
"Really?" Lanya actually raised her head and looked at Lant.
"From now on, just take care of all the personnel in the salt mine. Just like I told you before I came here, allocate people according to their abilities and let the children learn to read."
On the way here, Lant talked a lot about his thoughts with Lanya one after another. Lanya clearly told Lant that there were many loopholes in her settlement, but there was no one in the barbarian camp who was better at calculating, so the barbarians Just let her go.
Lanya herself prefers to assign work and manage people. This is related to the fact that she used to watch her father manage his subordinates. After Gandalf found Lanya five years ago, through her marriage to Peter, Lanya became The woman who was the strongest human knight in the territory later facilitated the alliance between the only three intermediate knights at the time.
From then on, Lanya, under the guidance of Gandalf, began to take charge of the food distribution of the entire salt mine and the division of labor among the demon-free. Soon, there were only more than 700 demon-free at that time, and they became more organized. With Lanya's suggestion, The oldest method of extracting salt brine has changed from wooden barrels to rotating waterwheels. It has changed from direct transport by devils to loading and transporting in trucks. Originally, it was necessary to go through several stone steps and dirt roads from the river bed to the cave. It was also done in Lanni. Shuhei at Ya's request.
The barbarians saw Laniya's effective management, and initially hoped to find more human demon holders to check and balance. However, the new demon holders would soon join Laniya's alliance, even if the barbarians reduced the number of human demons. Food supply, but Lanya has already stored some food in many caves, and sitting on salt mines also makes food storage easier.
Three years ago, the Gray Goose Tribe finally gave up on treatment. Not only did they recognize Laniya’s privileges in the salt mines and send special guards, they also asked Laniya to manage the accounts of the Gray Goose camp. Laniya became their own The first human race to actually rule this land after the Galloping Horse Kingdom was destroyed for the second time.
Of course, Lant knows that Lanya, as a non-demon, can actually manage the salt mines because the social structure of the barbarians cannot adapt to the human organization requirements of salt mine mining. Compared with giving management rights to a human demon possessor, , obviously the demon-free girl who is constantly protected and monitored by the barbarians is a more suitable candidate.
But Lanya is obviously not omnipotent. Obviously, her ability to manage accounts is not as good as Makoto. For this account, Lant even called all the demon-possessed girls. After an hour of tossing, no one was able to figure it out. clue.
"Makoto," since Lanya can't handle the accounts, she has to let someone who can handle them take charge. "You are still responsible for all the accounts. The accounts in this salt mine will definitely not be calculated by relying on this piece of paper. You don't have to follow Count here.
Laniyayou took Makoto and went around the main warehouses where items were stored to see if there were any food, weapons, magic scrolls, alchemy items, etc. that were important, valuable, and easy to bring, and recorded them all. Take it away. The remaining building materials and larger equipment will be placed here first. We will come back in the future. Ordinary tribes cannot take these things away. "
"OK"
"As for Lanya, since you don't want to take care of the accounts, please arrange a dinner for me later so that I can get to know the human race in the salt mine. I want to see how your management in the salt mine is like?"
"At your service, my lord."
On the way here, Lanya figured out Lant's thinking. This was a very special lord. He was not eager to prove his majesty and force, because he was accompanied by battles and duels along the way; the same thing happened. The lord is not afraid of being deceived by his subordinates, because this lord settles accounts more clearly than his subordinates, and his ideas are clearer than those of the scholars in the territory. More importantly, both the barbarian tribe and the human tribe are subordinates of Lant, and the two groups supervise each other.
What Lant said about organizing a dinner was the first test for Laniya. Laniya knew that her conversation with Lant might not be so respectful, but if she failed to organize the dinner, she would be in trouble in the future. They can only be the non-demon family members of an intermediate knight.
In Lanya's opinion, a formal dinner should be in the hall of a noble castle. There should be a smooth plate and sumptuous dishes in front of everyone. Even if the current conditions are not met, there should be at least several dishes.
Fortunately, Rand brought a lot of long-haired sheep and dozens of cooks, so there was no need to worry about the main dishes, and there was no shortage of pots, stoves, and seasonings in the salt mine.
But Lant requires that all the demon-loving and non-demon-free people must participate. The total number of people must be 500-600. Where to eat, where to find so many seats and tableware, and when to start the meal. , Laniya needs to worry about how many dishes need to be prepared before the meal starts, and how many dishes need to be served after the meal starts.
Of course, such things cannot be difficult for her, because she has many assistants in the entire camp, and there are many people in the camp who can help with the cooking. However, even so, Laniya still needs to lower her expectations and let most of the demon holders Sit on the floor and have a campfire dinner.
The mid-level knights, mid-level priests and Lant's personal entourage ate alone in the cave or the barbarian camp.
After Lant issued the request, 30 fires were set up outside the cave, 10 large pots originally used for boiling salt were filled with mutton, and 30 medium-sized pots were filled with wild vegetables, starch, sausages and monster meat. Qian, there is also a relatively large cave in the cave that was temporarily arranged as a restaurant, with 20 lighting rune boards placed, special medium-sized cooking pots, tables, chairs, and tableware. Lanya also found Albert to check The cronies around Lant learned that Lant was relatively close to Makoto and other non-demon people, and there was a small restaurant next to the main restaurant cave for the non-demon people that Lant admired to eat.
When the time entered the evening, 30 fire teams were lit at the same time. Medium-sized pots were placed on the fire. Next to each fire was a large basket filled with freshly baked cakes.
The cauldrons for cooking mutton were placed centrally at the entrance of the cave on the west side. Special shelves were set up beside the cauldrons. On each shelf there were three male non-demon men responsible for serving the soup.
Each demon possessor first fills the mutton soup in the big pot with his own bowl, and then he can go to eat by the fire.
After Lanya started preparing dinner in the afternoon, Lant gave everyone in the camp a request to obey Lanya's arrangements, and then leisurely went to visit the cauldron and cave in the salt boiling workshop. supplies and watched Laniya command a group of non-demon people busy in the evening.
"Not bad." At this moment, Lant was watching Laniya commanding the demon-free men to serve soup to all the reserve knights, barbarian cavalry, and demon-lovers.
"What's good?" Albert didn't understand why Lant was so interested in a demon-free person.
At that time, Lant himself often cooked to entertain friends in his previous life, and knew that the larger the dinner party, the more difficult it would be. Now Lanya can be said to be a clever woman who can make a meal without rice.
