November 17, 996, the year of the God Emperor, the third day after Lant took over the salt mine.
The weather outside the cave was extremely cold today. When Lant came out of the cave in the morning, he saw an extra layer of frost on the ground. It was already the middle of November, and the river had already begun to freeze. The galloping plains were about to enter the coldest time.
A large number of demon-free people are packing up all their wealth, mainly rations and clothes, and preparing to move out of the camp.
After burning a letter in the emergency communication room yesterday, Rant became very nervous. The letter must have been received by some force, but Rant didn't know who the recipient was and whether he would pay attention to it. to him.
Now Lant had a complete plan. He wanted to go south to fight Gray Goose, use the numerical advantage to defeat Gray Goose, and ask the Earl of Maned Wolf to allow him to establish his own territory north of Cornico Pass, as long as he guarded the salt mines. With the ruins of Yeqi City, he can own a huge territory and fixed industry.
However, the scene in the emergency communications room made him realize that the biggest reason for his success in the previous month was that no one from the Dragon Kingdom, the Human Empire, or the main force of the Gray Goose Tribe seriously noticed him in the Galloping Horse Plains. action on.
Once someone notices him, can he still buy lows on the plains so easily? Lant himself didn't know it, so he had to integrate the team as soon as possible and go south.
In the early morning, Lanya returned from Lant's main camp outside the salt mine. Lant gave Lanya two tests two nights ago and asked Lanya to complete them as soon as possible. Now Lanya returns to the salt mine. , I would like to submit my answer sheet.
One of Lant's tests was to ask Laniya to formulate a relocation plan for the entire territory, including the entire salt mine and camp. The second was to ask Laniya to examine the working abilities of several stewards of Lant's life.
For Lant, if he wants to safely wait for the knights and most of the demon supporters to move forward, he must have a stable rear camp. Albert can be in charge of this rear camp, but the specific number of more than 3,000 people The work can only be done by Laniya who has relevant experience.
In his previous camp, Lant divided all his people into the left and right camps. Most of the human population was in the left camp. Specific things were handled by several housekeepers. Lant would rotate the work of the housekeepers every half month. At the same time, he listened to the evaluation of the management abilities of the subjects in charge of the affairs of the steward. After three rotations, Lant had a rough understanding of the abilities of several stewards. However, as the camp became larger and larger, he had more and more subjects. It was too late to adjust the division of labor among the housekeepers.
Therefore, Lant plans to pack up all the demon-free people in the territory and hand them over to Laniya for management. Before that, Laniya needs to be fully familiar with the camp and her own management methods.
"You are an outstanding lord, Lord Lant. I don't think there is any viscount or baron in the Dragon Kingdom who has as many black-scaled horses and beasts of burden as you do, nor can they manage nearly 2,000 people as carefully as you do. The direct subjects of the company." When Laniya saw Lant, she immediately praised Lant's management ability.
"How do you feel about my camp? Can you manage it if I leave it to you?"
"Although it is difficult to reach the same level as you, I will try my best."
"Well... very good, then you can give me a plan for relocating and merging the territories today." Lant felt that Lanya was a little reserved when it came to him now, and it was not like she could make fun of herself before.
"My plan has been made, please take a look." As she said this, Lanya took out a few pieces of paper, which were her plans for the merger of the two territories.
Rant took the plan and glanced at it. The general content was that within 7 days, all the ordinary demon-lovers and non-demon demons and their important properties in the salt mine would be moved to the original Gray Goose camp outside the salt mine. After about 10 days, time to prepare and set off to the south.
In addition to goals and time points, the main part of Laniya's plan is to talk about the entire relocation and relocation divided into more than a dozen major areas such as animal husbandry, food, finance, transportation, child care, technical talent management, cooking, maintenance, and security. Projects, more than 40 small projects, the main work of each project, the number of people required, and the names and accusations of the responsible persons are all listed.
What is commendable is that Laniya's plan includes not only demon-free people, but also demon-possessed people. She stipulated that the most basic demon-possessed people required for camp relocation are at least 50 people, of which no less than 10 are knights.
However, Laniya's plan also had some flaws. For example, Laniya obviously underestimated the amount of food that would be consumed every day.
But Lant can also understand. After all, in the salt mine camp, the barbarians provide relatively little food. In addition to eating the rationed grains, the non-demon people also collect some mushrooms, fish in the underground river, and grass seeds in the wild. However, once the camp moves, physical exertion increases, the difficulty of gathering increases, and food is bound to be consumed faster.
After the population expansion, the grain in Lant's camp is once again under the warning line of one month's stock. However, the devils in the salt mine need a lot of meat to replenish physical energy and nutrition, and the consumption rate will only be faster. This is why Lant must The reason for going south.
"Your plan is very good, but you have some problems with calculating some numbers. I will call Makoto, Gandalf, and Albert to discuss it tonight." Although there is still room for improvement in Lanya's plan, Lant is determined that the entire plan will be improved. She is the only one capable of managing nearly 4,000 people in the camp.
"Okay." Lanya breathed a sigh of relief. During yesterday's day of investigation, she found that she relied too much on experience to judge Lant. She believed that Lant was no different from the human knights or barbarian leaders she had encountered before. He only knew how to ride horses and fight. , knows nothing about territorial matters.
However, after a day-long investigation yesterday, Laniya discovered that Lant's management was very meticulous, and that he managed nearly 2,000 people directly under his jurisdiction, and actually only relied on reasonable division of labor and mutual supervision for the non-demon.
More importantly, Lant can not only manage personnel and territory affairs, but also directly calculate accounts by himself. More than one steward told Lant that he is very sensitive to numbers and can calculate accounts quickly and accurately, so much so that the stewards I have to do the calculations several times every day before I dare to report to Lant.
After a day of investigation, Lanya finally determined that Lant’s need for her was limited to before the camp was merged. Once the salt mine and Lant’s main camp were merged, Lant could effectively control the territory by appointing multiple housekeepers. In order to maintain her identity as a manager, Lanya became particularly respectful in front of Lant.
Although he didn't quite know Laniya's thoughts, Lant was very happy to be able to roughly resolve the camp relocation matter.
Rant was about to go back to the cave, eat something first, and then watch the demon-free people move. At this time, a crystal snowflake floated from the sky. Rant stretched out his hand, letting the hexagonal snowflakes fall on his hand and melt into water. beads.
"It's snowing." Lant knew that his time on the galloping plains was running out.
