136. Heard the news of Rand's return
On December 30, 996, Rand's party finally returned to Roth's territory, and the castle's tower saw them as the convoy crossed the Boundary River.
"I'm finally back!" Huck Galloping Horse, who learned of the return of his fourth son, breathed a sigh of relief that he had never doubted himself so much since he had become a baron in the weeks that had passed.
"Finally I don't have to have those Rausch meetings," Huck muttered, reflecting on the past two weeks.
Ever since his son handed over the territory to him, he has been wondering every day whether he is a qualified lord, whether Rand was born by himself, and even more wondering if Lenya is a magus who has hidden his identity.
On the first day of Rand's departure, when Lenya found Huck, Huck even thought that Lenia had come to give her a hug, but the woman had sent four pages.
These 4 pages are the daily plan of the territory made by Rand and Lanya, from the most basic population of the territory, gold coins, livestock, food, various materials, and the number of magic plates; To the training of the knights, to the children's studies, to the management of the day-to-day affairs, to the cleaning of the castle rooms and the various tents, and finally to the harvest of the various hunting teams, the progress of construction projects, and even the names of the prominent commoners.
In a word, in line with the principle of building his own system since there is no system, Rand designed a set of statistics and task systems for the territory according to various business games in his previous life.
In the whole statistical work, Rand only requires one thing, that is, it is true and accurate, there is no task goal, no reward or punishment, but every number required to be counted must be true.
The construction task is formulated according to the approximate needs of the territory, and there are corresponding schedule requirements. From the day Rand left, Lanya would hand over 5 pieces of paper to Huck every day, and on the 7th day, 10 pieces of paper were made by Makoto and Lanya together.
Huck basically couldn't understand all the things written on the paper, except for the gold coins, the population of the people, and the amount of food.
What's even more terrifying is that Lannia actually holds a joint meeting of the territory every five days, and Huck, who is completely unaware of the situation, is invited to the big tent to watch dozens of demon supporters or non-demon housekeepers report to her about the work and difficulties of the past five days.
Whether it is Luo Erhe who trains with the knights, Kur Yagan who is responsible for all iron repairs, Neil who is responsible for training horses and sending cavalry reconnaissance, Nancy who is responsible for taking care of the children, and several butlers including Mei Wennan, they will report their respective tasks according to the general routine, whether they are demon supporters or demon non-demons, they will not question Lanya's management.
In Huck's eyes, Lenia was the de facto administrator of the entire territory, and he, the pioneer baron, the lord's own father, was just a statue in the hall.
Huck privately asked Albert if Lanya was so rampant when Rand was there, but Albert actually said that Rand was more meticulous than Lanya when he was there, because Lanya couldn't see the connection between the different numbers, but Rand could see it.
Lanya sometimes couldn't hear the numbers that the demon supporters were talking about, but Rand could hear it, and Rand could even tell from the children's tone which teacher wasn't serious enough to make a false statement at the meeting.
"Well, this third child went to the royal capital church, and he didn't learn this, right?" After listening to his brother's description, Baron Huck simply doubted that his youngest son was the one who was sent to the royal capital to be educated from an early age.
However, Huck has always been not too demanding of himself, and it doesn't matter if he can't read the statistical table, but what makes him most depressed is that Rand actually took away all the 5 demon girls, and didn't leave him and Ryan at all.
In Huck's eyes, these girls are the same as Rand's fire, although they are very precious, but who exactly they are with, shouldn't they depend on fate?
Finally it was all over, Rand was back, and all the statements and meetings could be kept away from him.
"Rohr, hurry up and gather the Knights and welcome Rand!" Huck yelled, and finally got hooked.
。。 Rand, who had just crossed the Boundary River, was extremely happy when he saw the huge battle of his own knights.
Hundreds of horsemen lined up beside Rand's carriage and escorted it into the tent area around the castle.
The people of Rand were moved by the sound and went out of the camp to welcome them.
"Your Excellency is back"
"The lord is back"
"Galloping horses! Galloping horses! "There was also a whole bunch of barbarians ready to start singing. When Huck and Ryan followed Lenya, Albert, and the others to the gate of the camp, and watched everyone welcome their son, they were filled with pride, jealousy, and incomprehension.
In Huck's eyes, the territory is made up of the families of the demon supporters, and his intentions are realized by the demon supporters, and his wealth is constantly accumulated by the demon supporters.
However, his son Rand gave a way of ruling that was very different from that of the previous knights and nobles, and almost the lord himself led a group of demonsless people to rule down to the accuracy of each lord.
Of course, if Rand knew about his father's confusion, he would only cry out for injustice, after all, in his opinion, all the meetings now have to be held, all the data must be counted, and the management of the people is even more rough in Rand's eyes.
As the luxurious carriage drew nearer, Rand poked his head out of the door behind the coachman and saw his father, Lenya and the others.
Rand, who hadn't returned to his territory for two weeks, missed his big tent and territory immensely, and it had already snowed several times from the Galloping Horse Plains to Maned Wolf City, and the white earth looked covered in snow.
"Father! Eldest brother! Approaching the camp gate, Rand simply walked over to Pete, stood in the car and waved to everyone.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and the barbarians sang about their ancestors and fathers galloping horses. In the midst of everyone's greetings, Rand returned to his big tent, which has been carefully maintained these days, and there is a fire to heat the whole tent at any time.
Every day, after reporting to Huck, Lenya would also send the daily report of the camp to Rand's tent.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the tent, Rand entered the lord mode, and while reading the weekly newspaper, he listened to the reports of Lanya and Makoto.
Knowing that the various leaders of Rand's return were also arriving in Rand's tent one after another, Huck began to feel a dull pain in his head as he saw a new meeting begin.
However, what Huck didn't expect was that although Rand had been reading the report, the actual meeting was not long, and he asked about the progress of the works in the territory, the stock of grain, the stock of major livestock and slaughter, and asked about the children's learning progress, and then stopped asking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce three things, first of all, we have a new magician in our camp, Master Ben Kaul, who is very knowledgeable and ambitious, and has come to our camp to follow in the footsteps of the legend of our ancestors." Rand pointed to Ben, who was near the tent gate.
"Laniya, you have to prepare all the food, clothing, shelter and transportation for this mage, if there is one that this mage needs, but our camp doesn't have it, just tell me, I will let the people of Mane Wolf City or the royal capital buy it back!"
"What?" The first one to find it unbelievable was Huck, who, as a knight lord, could hardly imagine why Rand would be so elevated to a mid-level mage.
"Master Ben?. Root.. Kaul? Albert, however, kept reminiscing, and always felt that he had such a name in his impression.
"Albert, don't remember me? I haven't forgotten your demeanor in the royal capital back then! At some point, Ben had already arrived at Albert's side, and Albert suddenly remembered,
"You... You. Albert's eyes widened as he looked at the intermediate mage, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it
"Yes, it's me, Ben Kaul," the mage took Albert's hand,
"You remember, I didn't expect you to really be here all these years and cultivate a junior like Rand." Kaul said as he pulled Albert outside, because Rand's subordinates regarded this as a joint meeting of the territory, so they were very dissatisfied to see the two of them leaving.
"By the way, this mage is also Albert's classmate in the imperial capital, Uncle Albert, you just have to talk more, it's okay." Rand directly approved the two of them to leave.
