Wolf King

snake department.

About three months after the four snake tribes took root on the grassland, the remaining seven tribes also arrived at the snake tribe by St. Bridge's boat.

The sudden addition of more than 3000 people made the Snake Department a little chaotic. Fortunately, Qingcao has established a management system suitable for the Snake Group in the Snake Department, and soon organized new staff to put into production, so that the Snake Department quickly stabilized. .

When the cat family farm had a good harvest, the snake department was also immersed in the ocean of joy.

Compared with the farms, the Snake Department received higher treatment. The ten farms opened up successively, with a yield of more than 3000 catties per mu, and a minimum of more than 9 catties of sweet potatoes. It belongs to them; nearly [-] million catties and more than [-] tons of sweet potatoes are kept for their own use, and sold to the Huoyan Department at a price of [-] copper coins per ton, and the income from sweet potatoes has reached [-] gold coins!

You must know that the income of the Huoyan Department last year after deducting the expenses was only more than 3 gold coins... Of course, this is also related to the excessive expenditure of the Huoyan Department last year.

After more than ten days of moving the boats on the canal, Qingcao boldly carried the gold coins weighing 26 catties to the elders of the Snake Department and the management of the production team.

In the center of the Snake Department, which imitates the meeting room of the Fire Department, Qingcao smiled and opened the box, and ten grams of gold coins were densely piled up in the box. Thirteen thousand gold coins are here~ The craft of the forest elves, the gold is of high purity and exquisitely cast, look, the patterned forest elves on it are all very beautiful!"

The thirteen elders of the Snake Clan had different expressions, some were happy and smiling from the bottom of their hearts, some were shocked, and some rolled their eyes.

Compared with the complexities of the elders, the management of the production team is much simpler, all smiling and full of sense of accomplishment...

Harris was especially happy. After more than half a year of work and polishing, his whole snake temperament became much more cheerful. Hearing the numbers reported by Qingcao, his joy was beyond words—I thought it would be good to barely stand on our feet and get enough food and clothing In my first year, I never thought I could earn so much!

Before their hometown was taken over by the Beast Emperor, it would be considered extremely lucky to find thousands of gold coins every year; when they were exiled to the human kingdom, even a top walker like Harris could earn hundreds of gold coins a year. Gold coins are fine.

"The contract signed by the Fire Department and the Snake Department stipulates that in the first three years, [-]% of the harvest will be used to repay the interest, and the rest of the harvest will be at your own disposal. After all, you have moved to a new place to live. You must need money. .In the future, the life will be better and stable, and then the principal will be repaid slowly." Qingcao pushed the box forward with a smile, "I handed it over to you, Gusta, your money."

Xiao Yun brought the Snake Clan to live on the grassland because he intended to develop the Snake Clan into his own people, but he didn't intend to let them grow wildly by themselves.During Qingcao’s coming to organize production, by the way, he referred to the decision-making model of the Ministry of Fire and set up a management meeting for the Ministry of Snakes. Not to mention whether it can be as pure as the decision-making staff of the Ministry of Fire play.

The management meeting of the Fire Department was chaired by Xiao Yun, and the host of the Snake Department fell on Gusta, the most prestigious elder of the python clan, due to the slump in prestige of the Great Elder Greg.Gusta supported the gold coin box with both hands, his wrists trembling slightly... It was the first time in his life that he touched so much money with his hands.

"This is... the hard-earned income of all the members of our Snake Department this year who have worked hard and sweated together." Gusta swallowed, trying to calmly say, "This is the money that belongs to all members of the family. It must also be spent on all the clansmen. Winter is coming soon, we should prepare winter supplies for the clansmen, and the money will be used just right.”

As soon as Gusta's voice fell, an elder hurriedly said: "What do you mean, Gusta, is it you who have the final say on how to spend money?"

"Yes, since it is the tribe's money, why should you be in charge?" Another elder echoed, "Gusta, don't try to take the tribe's money with such a lame excuse."

The two elders raised their heads, and the elders who questioned appeared one after another.The elders had no choice but to support Gusta to preside over the management meeting from the Snowwolf Clan, but since Qingcao said that the Snake Department's income was controlled by the Snake Department, the elders could not tolerate Gusta's talk.

The grass remained silent, the faces of the managers changed, and Harris clenched his fist secretly.

"Enough!" The elder Greg, who never speaks in management meetings, shouted in a deep voice, "All of us, did we bring more than two pieces of clothing when we came to the grassland? It's only autumn now, and the night on the grassland is just like human beings. The winter in the kingdom is so cold, all the clansmen need warm clothes and blankets, we need firewood and black stones, and we also need to pay for the winter food by ourselves - we have already earned money by ourselves, should we continue to borrow from the snow wolf clan? ? Towels, toothbrushes, soap for bathing, who here doesn’t use it? Gusta proposed to use the tribe’s money to buy supplies for the tribe, what’s wrong!”

"Greg, pay attention to your tone!" The elder who was the first to object, his complexion green and pale, yelled angrily.

Greg ignored him, looked at the management of the larger production team, and slowed down his tone: "In the management meeting, everyone has an equal right to speak. Since Elder Gusta's proposal is controversial, he voted with a show of hands and agreed. Raise your hand." After speaking, he immediately raised his hand.

Ten agricultural production teams, an earthworm breeding team, plus a work team responsible for the daily affairs of the tribe, there are dozens of them for management, much more than the number of elders; they are all snake tribes, they know each other well, and the elders are selfish The managers can see clearly, anyway, whoever is in charge in the Snake Department only depends on ability, not whether they are close to a certain elder. Elder Greg took the lead, and raised his whole arm in unison.

Elder Gusta breathed a sigh of relief, Elder Greg looked at those who opposed, and sneered silently.

Qingcao and other snake tribes agreed, and then they laughed and said, "We don't care how the snake department spends the money earned by the snake department, but our two families have signed an aid contract, and the fire department is obliged to help the snake department establish a clear and clear plan." Statistical ledgers, year-end summaries, and expenditure budgets must be recorded for every expenditure, which is good for the development of the Snake Department. We, Ayun, have said that we must also pay attention to technical content when spending money."

Those elders who jumped out to oppose looked at Qingcao in the wrong way...

"That's true." Gusta also understood the style of the Snow Wolf Clan, and said with a smile, "Then let's discuss how to spend the money now."

"We need to buy enough black stone (coal) first." Harris said first, "Now the weather has started to get colder. If it gets colder and the fire is not lit in the house, the clansmen will fall into a deep sleep."

"The black stone must be bought." Elder Gusta nodded.

"Qingcao, can we buy some suncloth from the Fire Department?" Someone asked.

"Of course." Qingcao laughed, "The outer layer is made of sun cloth, the inner layer is made of white cotton cloth, and a layer of long-wool cashmere is sandwiched in between. It's very warm. These flames are all available."

"I also need some leather for making shoes. We also have to go out of the house occasionally in winter."

"Tell the soldiers to hurry up and go hunting for some skins. You don't need to buy them."

"It's okay... By the way, the blanket, this is very important, it's too cold without a blanket to cover your feet."

"Buy more rabbit meat, rabbit meat is cheaper than pork."

"Pork is still needed. The clansmen have worked hard for a year, so they can't even eat well in winter, can they?"

"There is also the blanket woven with magic mineral powder (aluminum powder), which is very warm. Should we prepare some for the younger cubs?"

The managers of the Snake Department talked aloud and listed the types of purchases. Qingcao wrote down the types of materials needed by the Snake Department on the paper, and sent the bark paper for arithmetic problems to everyone with a smile: "I have determined the types of materials to be purchased. , the next step is to calculate the exact number. What is the specific quantity of which item is needed, whether it can meet the needs of the snake department without causing waste, what is the sum of all expenses, and whether it will exceed the budget? Figure it out."

Everyone's faces immediately turned pale...

"This account must be calculated. We have learned it before. In the essentials of management, planning income and expenditure is a very important part. Next year we will carry out the farm machinery purchase plan, expansion construction plan, field reclamation plan, and crop production increase plan. , These all cost money, we have to set aside corresponding funds, and the rest can be used." Qingcao said seriously, "Every copper coin must be spent on the edge of the knife, this can reflect that our management meeting is responsible for the Snake Department, Everyone sitting here bears the trust of the Snake Tribe people, so we must not let you down!"

Having said so much, no matter how stubborn a person is, it is impossible to object. Everyone stretched out their hands to pick up the bark paper...

"Don't miscalculate too much." Qingcao added with a smile, "Last month when we calculated the canteen purchase budget, we made a lot of mistakes, and it took a lot of work to correct it. This time it is a winter's expense As for the budget, if there is a problem, it will be troublesome."

The administrators began to formulate calculations on the bark paper bitterly, and among the elders, a few of them started to retreat again-under the supervision of the Snow Wolf Clan, it is really difficult to be an "official" of the Snake Department!

There is no chance to reap the benefits, and the work still needs to be done, and you must always work with the tormentor!

Qingcao smiled and looked at the people who were deep in thought, with a very calm expression.

Power must be linked with responsibility, and the responsibility of managing the tribe must start with being a good home for the tribe and settling accounts—from small engineering projects to large tribal cities and even national management issues are actually various fine-grained mathematical problems. Resource allocation, financial budget, and engineering work plan are all mathematical problems that are detailed from the simple to the deep; if you want to be a management team, it doesn't matter if you are too old to lead the production team or even reduce the workload. Master the skills well~!

You can't even figure out how much white cotton cloth you need to buy in the tribe for the winter, and you have to record a sum on the attendance sheet for the green grass... When you want to make trouble, we can settle the old scores, and you can even be a good home for the tribe How can a person who doesn't have any skills have the nerve to point fingers?

This "budget meeting" lasted half an afternoon, and at night, when the managers finally walked out of the meeting room, most of them walked a little bit vainly...

Gusta watched those cunning or insidious elders go back to their houses, turned to look at the grass, and sincerely said, "Thank you, Green Grass."

"Huh? Thank you for what?" Qingcao said loudly, "Big guy, rest for a day and recover your physical strength. Let's continue composting work tomorrow. It will be useful in spring next year."

Gusta couldn't help laughing.

After receiving the unified purchase money settled by the Fire Department, Gusta's heart rose after being excited.

The Great Elder Greg has lost his prestige and is hard to convince the crowd. Although he has a certain reputation among ordinary people, the elders may not be able to convince him... If it hadn't been for the high-intensity work before, maybe it was because of the Snake Department. Whoever keeps his word has already had countless rounds of quarrels.

With such a large sum of money in his hands, Gusta was not at all sure that he could keep the money, so he was eager to suggest spending the money—how many people can not be tempted by the golden gold coins?

Most of the unheated gold coins from the Management Committee were delivered to the Snowwolf Clan for purchase. Shiploads of supplies were transported to the door of the Snake Department, boxes and bags were moved into the Snake Department's warehouse, and distributed to the Snake Clan members. The atmosphere in the city has returned to the enthusiasm of the autumn harvest.

The elder Gregor participated in the transportation silently, and sat on the steps to rest after his waist was a little unbearable, watching the cubs in the tribe cheering for new clothes, new shoes, candy snacks, etc., the wrinkles on his face gradually relaxed .

"Elder Greg, let's have a cup of hot water from a can of sweet water." Harris came over with two cups, handed one to Elder Greg, sat down on the steps, and looked at the square side by side with Greg Cubs rowdy over candy bars.

"In a blink of an eye, this year will soon be over." Harris said with a relaxed smile, "At this time last year, I was still confused about where the future lies, and worried whether the clansmen would be killed by Elliott." In just a few days, we became wealthy people who could spend thousands of gold coins, and the nobles of the human race are not so lavish."

Elder Greg took a sip of the warm sweet water and hummed lightly in his nose.

"I heard from Nanfeng that the MSG factory next door will be locked, and those human workers will go back to Valentine for the winter. They have always sneaked over to peek at us this year, and we found out and yelled, really..." Harris said that he couldn't help laughing, "If you don't need to live on their land, the human race is actually quite interesting."

"Harris." Elder Greg said suddenly.

"Ok?"

Elder Greg's lips twitched, turned his head away, and said in a muffled voice: "I... apologize for my past meanness. An outdated old man like me is really not qualified to lead the snake clan. The future... belongs to people like you. young people."

Harris froze for a moment before realizing what Elder Greg said, and couldn't help laughing: "Where's the word, Elder Greg, without you and Elder Gusta to protect us young people, the Snake Department would be really famous." There is no future."

Elder Greg smiled lightly, then disappeared again.

His previous invitation to the Snow Wolf Clan was indeed just a compulsion... It was just a group of exiled downcast races to keep warm, and he didn't think he could get much help from the Snow Wolf Clan.

It wasn't until this year was passed smoothly with the help of the Snow Wolf Clan that Greg gradually saw the great wisdom of the Snow Wolf Clan—the snow werewolf Qingcao who always smiled heartily and seemed heartless. She has always used her means to eliminate the power struggle within the snake clan invisible.

After all, Greg is standing at a relatively high position. He can see very clearly. If it weren't for Qingcao, the snow werewolf, he, the great elder, had lost his authority, and lived scattered among them for many years. , Knead together so hastily to live, I don't know how many times I have turned the sky.

Elder Greg was right. Qingcao was not as smart as Dahe, but he had followed Xiao Yun for so many years, so he didn’t know the essence of a collective guarantee of stability—feeding at regular intervals, keeping hands and feet busy , a certain spiritual food, as long as these three items are met, basically nothing will happen!

Even if there are really people with rebellious brains and lack of greed, as long as no one follows the trend and responds, there will be no waves!

Well, although it is very simple, this is indeed an irrefutable hard truth.On the earth, from gangsters to national thieves to street politicians, the prerequisite for success is that someone takes the lead, and then there are a group of people who are too full to support but are idle, and a lot of people who are not full and tired follow the trend to support and charge... If any link is missing, nothing can be done. (Spitting at Mao Yushi: Bah bah bah!)

As a member of the Snow Wolf Clan, Qingcao can't control who among the elders of the Snake Clan is full of bad food, but she can eliminate the existence of the two types of people who are "tired when they are not full, and idle when they are too full"~

Looking to the distance, on the other side of the square, the snow werewolf Green Grass who was holding a notebook and counting supplies with Gusta, Elder Greg blew on the heat from the cup, and took a sip of the sweet water.

"Harris, you warriors are much more resistant to cold than ordinary clansmen. Now that the weather is cold, you don't need to farm. If the Snow Wolf clan needs manpower for anything, you can go and help." Elder Greg said slowly.

Harris: "Huh?"

A few days later, Harris and other walkers and soldiers appeared on the ship where the workers of the MSG factory were returning home, and together with Isaac and the others, they sent the workers back home, and transported several boats of pork and rabbit meat to Valentine for sale...

The grassroots patriarch welcomes the Snake Clan to take the initiative to help. After arranging the cabins for the Snake Clan, he curiously said, "You are willing to come out when the weather is so cold. I thought it was inconvenient for you before, so I didn't call you."

Harris: "Uh..."

The grassroots patriarch said with a smile: "Ayun let us learn to contact others to do business by ourselves. I am having a headache here. I feel more at ease when you come here."

Harris hurriedly said: "As long as we can help, we will do our best."

"Hahaha, you don't need to be so formal!" The grassroots patriarch slapped Harris on the back, slapping the slender Harris...

Northwest of the Fire Department, the entrance to the underground world.

The entrance here was originally not big. After the Snowwolves opened the food store to the underground city, in order to facilitate the delivery of ingredients, they widened the opening that was originally only the size of a door to the extent that four Snowwolves who turned into wolves could walk in side by side... …

A total of more than 300 snow werewolves turned into wolves and carried a huge number of fans into the underground world through this entrance.

After walking for a day or so in the narrow and narrow slope downward passage, the space in front of me is clear and bright. There are large and small ring-shaped caves one after another. ;The dark environment, the sound of ticking water, the sound of wind coming from nowhere, and the vague and strange roar heard in the ear, if a timid person walks into it, even if it is front, back, left, and right They are all their own people, and they may have to scare out problems.

The large troop slowly moved forward along the passage that Angelo, the scythe of the abyss, visited the Snow Wolf Clan. Xiao Yun, after going deep into the underground world, led the speed-type Uncle Ashan, the straight-faced Yu, and the high-perception Rosemary, the snow leopard, and Baron, the goblin who led the way, turned a corner and turned to the area where Baron's tribe once lived.

"At the beginning, our tribe was managed by the dark elves who lived in the nearby gray dwarf village." After returning to the underground world after many years, the goblin Baron was still a little nervous and couldn't help looking around. Obviously, in the underground world The days of life cast a heavy shadow on the little guy's mind, "We haven't been to that gray dwarf village...but I remember those dark elves inspectors coming from the same direction every time."

"How did you make up your mind to escape then?" Xiao Yun asked.

"The dark elves used to monitor once every ten days to take away the gemstone mines we mined." Baron sat on Ah Shan's back, holding the belt tied with vermicelli, and swallowed, "Later, the dark elves came one after another The moon hasn't come yet... The elders in the tribe thought that something happened to the gray dwarf village, and the dark elves couldn't care about us, so they decided to run away."

"Didn't you go to the gray dwarf village to see the situation?" Ah Shan asked curiously.

Baron smiled awkwardly.

Rosemary, who was walking at the back with no vermicelli on her bag, said, "Stupid, of course they don't dare to go, there's no need to ask."

Xiao Yun stopped and turned his head, looking at Rosemary expressionlessly.

"..." Rosemary said aggrievedly, "Ah Shan, I didn't say you were stupid."

Only then did Xiao Yun let him go: "Let's go to that gray dwarf village first to see what's going on. If there are gray dwarves, we will take them away. If there are gray dwarves and dark elves, let's say that we are delivering vermicelli. Halfway and the main force were separated. I have nothing, so I think I am unlucky."

"Ah Yun, won't it be enough for us to come with just a few people?" Yu was a little worried, mainly because of Xiao Yun's safety... Ah Shan and Rosemary can protect themselves, and Ah Yun is still a cub.

"Don't worry, we don't intend to fight with the dark elves. Fighting and killing hurts feelings, how can a serious businessman do such a thing." Xiao Yun said solemnly, "We are just here to find ideas for the dark elves. How can such things as cornering and poaching the foot of a wall be counted together with beatings and killings!"

Feather & Rosemary & Baron: "..."

Ah Shan stuck out his tongue and thought for a long time, then looked back at Rosemary: "Why did you say I was stupid just now?"

"..." The corners of Rosemary's mouth twitched wildly.
