Just when Ma Wei was about to go out to look for Fat Orange Xiaohei, Fat Orange Xiaohei suddenly came back.
They walked in slowly from the outside with elegant steps. Their bellies were round and the corners of their mouths were shiny. It looked like they had just eaten.
"Master! We are back, meow!"
Xiao Hei opened the study door with his head, jumped into Ma Wei's arms, rubbed himself, and said happily: "I'm so exhausted."
"Where did you go?" Ma Wei raised his eyebrows and patted its bulging belly: "How did things go?"
"Don't worry, it's all done!"
Xiao Hei half-squinted his eyes, enjoying Ma Wei's touch: "My eldest brother and I went out to have a few fights and beat up all the cat bosses around Qiu Meng City, and successfully subdued three thousand cats!"
As the gateway to the Siberian Plain, the city of Tyumen is many times larger than the city of Novoros. It is also close to mountains, rivers and lakes, so there is no need to worry about food. There are also more stray cats, each of which has its own territory. The fat orange and black guy who just arrived used the rules among stray cats to initiate a duel and won the boss position one by one. The 'preaching' was very successful.
"I didn't let them come because there were so many."
Fat Orange jumped on the table and leaned against the warm kerosene lamp. His shadow shone on the wall, like a giant creature: "The situation in Tyumen City is complicated recently. With so many refugees, the cats are easily exposed. Let's talk about it after a few days."
"There is no rush for baptism. It can be done anytime." Ma Wei nodded and said thoughtfully: "The key is food and accommodation..."
There are a total of 3,000 stray cats, and their daily need for food is three times that of New Ross City. Even a church cannot accommodate them. How to house them is indeed a problem.
"Let's arrange it in a warehouse outside the city." Dino said: "Wheat flour happens to be stored there, which is easy to attract mice. Let the cats watch it and it will be safe."
"Don't worry about the food problem, I've solved it." Fat Jue said.
"solved?"
Ma Wei looked surprised. You must know that there are 3,000 cats, not 3,000 pigeons. How much do they need to eat every day?
They are still worried about food. Where can Fat Orange find food?
"Birds, mice, fish, what can't be eaten?" Fat Orange said disapprovingly: "Don't underestimate the ability of cats to survive in the wild. Didn't they survive before we didn't come here?"
mouse!
Ma Wei suddenly realized that the main reason why cats had nothing to eat in New Ross City was the plague. After the birth of the God of Rats, rats could not eat, so the Church of Truth took on the responsibility of providing food for cats.
Now that we have arrived in Tyumen City, the people living here have not been affected by the plague, and rats have naturally become the main source of food for cats.
As for the fish...
As long as the thick ice on the river can be broken, it is not difficult to catch a few fish. Ma Wei has personally seen cats using their tails to fish, and Fat Orange and Little Hei's claws are extremely sharp, making it easy to dig holes in the ice.
"Master meow! Master meow!"
Xiao Hei patted Ma Wei and said expectantly: "I adopted a stray cat!"
"...."
"Really meow!"
"You are a cat, and you adopted a stray cat?" Ma Wei rubbed his eyebrows: "Do you think our family has too few cats?"
"But...but it's so pitiful, meow!" Xiao Hei said with a pout, "As soon as I saw it, it reminded me of my childhood..."
"Where is it?"
"etc!"
Xiao Hei jumped out of the window, and not long after, he ran back with a little black cat in his mouth. The little black cat was only one or two months old. It was as black as a ball of coal. It looked around with a pair of big eyes curiously, and huddled at Xiao Hei's feet. , meowing.
"It's called Xiao Hei!" Xiao Hei patted his chest and said, "I'll raise him!"
I suspect this is your illegitimate child...
Looking at Little Hei who is almost the same mold as Little Hei, Mawei feels guilty. But Little Hei is different from Friday. He never goes out to provoke the little female cat, and stays in the church all day eating and waiting to die. While basking in the sun, Ma Wei once suspected that someone had secretly removed its balls, but he dispelled his doubts after confirming that the balls were still there.
Xiao Hei, adopted by Xiao Hei, was also a little female cat with balls. She was very clingy and soon became familiar with Ma Wei and others. She crawled around and was not honest at all.
"Forget it, just keep it as long as you want, it's not bad for this one anyway."
Compared with the imminent food problem, Ma Wei had no time to pay attention to Xiao Xiaohei. He took Fat Orange and began to plan the next move.
"You send cats to keep an eye on every move of the nobles. I want to know all the conversations between them. Also, be careful about Archbishop Henry."
"Didn't there be a big battle this morning?" Fat Orange asked, "What magic did the Wisdom God Religion use?"
"They didn't use the Lord God's magic, so I'm not sure about the strength of the God of Wisdom. Anyway, it's better to be careful." Ma Wei said.
So far, no conflict has broken out between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom. Both Mavey and Archbishop Henry are deliberately avoiding each other.
At present, there is a powerful enemy. The Kingdom of Windsor still occupies a large area of the Romanov Kingdom. It is obviously not a good time for internal fighting. When the Kingdom of Windsor is completely defeated and withdraws from the Romanov Kingdom...
The battle between the Church of Truth and the Church of Wisdom will officially begin.
Now the two sides are just testing each other, and the target of the conflict is still the same.
And their victory or defeat also determines who owns the throne.
before that....
Mawei not only had to obtain food and funds, but also had to prepare for future struggles.
The re-formed cat army still needs further integration. Just leave this matter to Fat Orange and Xiao Hei. Ma Wei doesn't need to worry about it.
"Boss, today we recruited a thousand workers, fifty bakers, and rented a batch of tools..."
After Katerina left, Laiwen and Christopher came over with the registration list: "In addition to these, there are also supplies such as blankets, which cost a thousand rubles..."
"What?!"
Dino screamed strangely, rushed over, and snatched the registration list from the hand of the petitioner: "I was away for half a day, and you spent a thousand rubles?!"
"These are necessary supplies!" The source shrugged: "Many refugees left in a hurry and did not carry enough clothes to survive the winter. The cold wave is coming again. I heard that it will snow soon. If we don't buy blankets and distribute them quickly, Many people will definitely freeze to death!”
"Then you can't spend money randomly!" Dino said angrily: "Is this how the money is spent?! Pay cash? Do you know how to do business?"
Laiwen and Christopher looked at each other, a little confused.
"Use 10% of the total amount as an advance payment, let the merchant ship the goods first, and then deliver the balance last. In this way, we can free up a large amount of free funds, and then use these funds to purchase other supplies..."
Dino kept mumbling, and the abacus clicked: "Now is the time when we are short of money. Every fund must be calculated carefully. We must use the limited funds to purchase as many supplies as possible... You guys Two prodigal sons...One thousand rubles could have produced the effect of ten thousand rubles, but they were wasted by you!"
Looking at Dino who was settling the accounts, Ma Wei patted Lai Wen and Christopher who looked confused, and said: "Let him settle the accounts. In terms of business, Dino is the best among us. "
