On December 30, 1996, the team of Landen finally returned to the territory of Rothe Territory. The tower of the castle saw them when the team passed Boundary River.
"Finally coming back!" Hark·Gallop breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that his fourth son was back. Since he became Baron, he has never doubted himself as much as he did in the past few weeks.
"Finally we don't have to hold those useless meetings anymore," Hark muttered while thinking about the past two weeks.
Ever since his son handed over the territory to him, he has been doubting whether he is a qualified lord every day, wondering whether Landen was born by himself, and even more doubting whether Lannia is a certain Archmage who has hidden his identity.
When Lannia found Hark on the first day after Landen left, Hark even thought that Lannia was here to throw herself into her arms. Unexpectedly, this woman sent 4 pages of paper.
These 4 pages are the daily plans for the territory made by Landen and Lannia, starting from the most basic territory population, Gold Coin, livestock, grain, various materials, Magic Pattern Plate's quantity;
Go to Knight's training, children's studies, management of daily things, the cleaning of castle rooms and various tents, and finally the harvest of each hunting team, the progress of construction projects, and even the names of prominent civilians.
In a word, Landen follows the principle of building a system yourself since there is no system. Based on various management games in previous lives, designed a statistical and task system for the territory.
For the entire statistical work, Landen only requires one thing, which is to be true and accurate. There are no task goals, rewards or penalties, but every number in the statistics must be true.
The construction tasks are formulated according to the approximate needs of the territory and have corresponding progress requirements.
From the day Landen left, Lannia would hand over 5 pieces of paper to Hark every day. On the 7th day, he handed over 10 pieces of paper, which were made by Makoto and Lannia.
Hark basically can't understand all the content written on these papers except Gold Coin and Territory Residents population and food quantity.
What's even more frightening is that Lannia actually holds a territorial joint meeting every five days. Hark, who has no idea about the situation, was invited to the big tent and watched as dozens of Mana-Wielder or Mana-Less Butler reported to her the work and difficulties of the past five days.
Whether it is Raul and Knight who are responsible for training, or Kuryagan who is responsible for all iron maintenance, Neil who is responsible for training horses and sending cavalry for reconnaissance, and Nancy who is responsible for taking care of the children, There are also several Butlers including Mevenan. They will report their respective tasks according to a general routine. No matter Mana-Wielder or Mana-Less, they will not question the management of Lannia.
In the eyes of Hark, Lannia is the actual manager of the entire territory, and he, the pioneer Baron, the lord's biological father, is just a sculpture at the venue.
Hark asked Albert in private if Lannia was so rampant when Landen was here, but Albert actually It is said that Landen is more detailed than Lannia because Lannia cannot see the connection between different numbers, but Landen can.
Lannia sometimes can't hear the numbers that Mana-Wielder are making up, but Landen can. Landen can even tell from the children's tone which teacher is not teaching seriously enough, so no one dares to falsely report numbers at the meeting.
"Good boy, this third child went to the Royal Capital church, and he didn't learn these things, right?" After listening to his younger brother's description, Hark Baron simply suspected that his youngest son was the one who was sent to Royal Capital to receive education from an early age.
However, Hark has not always had very high requirements for himself. It's okay if he can't understand the statistics table. But what depresses him the most is that Landen actually took away all five Witch children, leaving nothing for him and Ryan. They don't have to do anything these days, but it's good to keep in touch with each other.
In the eyes of Hark, these girls are the same as Landen's horse Blaze. Although they are very precious, shouldn't it depend on fate to decide who they are with?
Finally, all this is over, Landen is back, and all reports and meetings can be far away from me.
"Raul, quickly gather Knight Order to welcome Landen!" Hark roared, finally having fun.
Landen, who had just passed Boundary River, saw the huge formation of his own Knight Order, and felt extremely happy.
Hundreds of cavalry lined up next to Landen's carriage and escorted the carriage into the tent area around the castle.
Landen and Territory Residents moved upon hearing the sound and walked out of the camp to greet them.
"My lord is back"
"The lord is back"
"Gallop! Gallop!"
There is also a large group of barbarians ready to start singing.
When Hark and Ryan followed Lannia, Albert and others to the gate of the camp and saw everyone welcoming their sons, pride, jealousy, confusion, and all kinds of emotions came to their hearts.
In Hark's eyes, the territory is made up of Mana-Wielder's families. His intention depends on Mana-Wielder to realize it, and his Wealth relies on Mana-Wielder to continuously accumulate.
However, his son Landen gave a ruling method that was very different from the previous Knight nobles. Almost the lord himself led a group of Mana-Less to rule every Territory Residents accurately.
Of course, if Landen knew about his father's confusion, he would only cry out for injustice. After all, in his view, all meetings now have to be held, and all data must be collected. Territory Residents's management is even more rough in Landen's eyes.
The luxurious carriage was getting closer and closer. Landen poked his head out of the door behind the coachman and saw his father, Lannia and others.
Landen, who has not been back to his territory for two weeks, misses his big tent and territory very much. It has snowed several times from Gallop Plains to Bristle-Wolf City, and the vast white ground looks like a blanket of snow.
"Father! Big brother!" As they approached the gate of the camp, Landen simply walked to the side of Pete, stood on the car and waved to everyone.
The welcoming crowd burst into cheers, and the Barbarians sang about Gallop's ancestors and fathers.
Amid everyone's welcome, Landen returned to his big tent first. Landen's tent has been carefully taken care of these days, and there is always a fire to heat the entire tent.
Every day after Lannia reports to Hark, he will also send the camp's daily report to Landen's tent.
Sure enough, Landen entered the lord mode as soon as he entered the tent. While reading the weekly report, he listened to the reports from Lannia, Makoto and others.
After learning that the returning bosses from Landen were also arriving at Landen's tent, Hark watched a new meeting begin, and his head began to hurt.
However, what Hark didn't expect was that although Landen had been looking at the reports, the actual meeting was not long. He asked about the project progress, grain stocks, main livestock stocks and slaughtering in the territory, and asked about the children's learning progress, and then stopped asking.
"Everyone, I would like to announce three things. First of all, a new demon Mage has come to our camp, Ben Kaul Mage. This Mage is knowledgeable and ambitious. He came to our camp to follow in the footsteps of his ancestor Legend." Landen pointed at Ben who was near the tent door.
"Lannia, you must prepare all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for this Mage. If there is anything that this Mage needs that our camp does not have, just tell me and I will ask someone from Bristle-Wolf City or Royal Capital to buy it back!"
"What?" The first person who found it incredible was Hark. As a Knight lord, it was hard for him to imagine why Landen would praise a Intermediate Mage so highly.
"Mage?...Kaul?" Albert kept recalling it, always feeling that there was such a name in his mind.
"Albert, don't remember me? I still haven't forgotten your grace in Royal Capital!"
I don't know when, Ben had already arrived beside Albert, and Albert suddenly remembered,
"You... you..." Albert looked at this Intermediate Mage with wide eyes. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Yes, it's me, Ben Kaul." Mage took Albert's hand, "Now that I think about it, I didn't expect that you have really stayed here all these years and trained juniors like Landen."
Kaul said as he pulled Albert out. Since Landen's subordinates all regarded this as a territorial joint meeting, they were very dissatisfied when they saw the two leaving.
"By the way, this Mage is also Albert's classmate at Imperial Capital. Uncle Albert, you guys just want to chat more, it'll be okay." Landen directly approved the two of them to leave.
