Warlord: King of All Clans

"Two large blacksmith shops only have an income of ten gold coins per month."

"Well, it's even better here. This year's autumn harvest, the five estates had a total of more than 5,000 acres of wheat farmland, and harvested 20,000 bags of wheat, with an average yield of 200 pounds per acre."

"I don't even want to pretend, they are all integers."

As Olivia watched and calculated, sweat began to form on the butler's forehead.

Damn it, whose lady is so smart!

Isn’t it said that the heroine of River Bay is just a country girl!

The Lord's Mansion of Isenbol has a total of 27 properties, which is more than any other family in the banner. He is definitely the richest man in Isenbol.

This is only the private property of the lord's mansion, not including the taxes levied on the entire city and the knights within its jurisdiction.

Whether it is traditional farms, ranches, or light and heavy industries, the industries of the lord's mansion do not occupy a monopoly position, but at least have the most favorable conditions.

The farms occupied the most fertile land, the ranches had the largest grasslands, and not many people dared to compete with them openly, whether it was a leather shop or a blacksmith shop.

This was also the main reason why Olivia hurried here. With such a large income from high-quality industries, Hewan's finances would be much more abundant.

Because of the large number of refugees and the impact of the war on trade, Hewan has been struggling in the past few months.

But when she got here and opened the account book, Olivia was immediately disappointed.

This income was far below her expectations.

Olivia didn't want to look at the rest of the accounts, so she said directly to the Rose Knight who followed her: "Darcy, take a few people to the Lord's Mansion to take a look around the property and help me check the specific situation."

The Rose Knight named Darcy followed Olivia and was already familiar with her operations. She cooperated with her well. Upon hearing what she said, she nodded and saluted, then went out.

Olivia looked at the butler of the manor again. Her face, still young, showed a hint of the majesty of the mistress of River Bay. "There are big problems with these accounts. The butler is either too stupid to be deceived by his subordinates, or too smart to deceive me. I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation before Darcy comes back."

The butler was already sweating profusely. He bowed his head and knelt upon hearing this, trying his best to organize his words.

But Olivia wanted money, not an explanation, so she waved him away.

When she was a village girl, she was willing to listen to any explanation from anyone and would even put herself in other people's shoes.

But now she is the mistress of River Bay, who is above everyone else. If she continues to do things in this way, her efficiency will be too inefficient.

She also had to gain an in-depth understanding of the procedures of aristocratic banquets before the banquet was held, and lead the pre-banquet inspection.

Although aristocratic banquets are naturally hosted by professionals, the hostess's inspection before the banquet is also an essential procedure.

If there is any flaw at the banquet, the guests' dissatisfaction and contempt will be directed at the hostess.

Except for Fisa and Freya bringing a group of dogs to make trouble everywhere, everything in the lord's mansion was normal and the banquet began soon.

Leo didn't like this kind of aristocratic dinner, let alone hosting it himself.

But after much persuasion from Rigolav and his financial and manpower contribution, he could only reluctantly serve as the host of a banquet.

This time, he and Ivan wore exquisite aristocratic dresses and stood at the door of the banquet hall to greet the guests and accept their flattery.

The two couldn't help but recall the first time they attended a noble banquet.

The housekeeper of the Petukhov family treated them as attendants and guards and let them sleep in a large dormitory.

Ivan didn't even dare to take the food from the banquet.

That year when I was sixteen, I attended a noble banquet and stood like a minion!

Now at the age of eighteen, he is full of energy and has become the protagonist that everyone is paying attention to!

After most of the guests arrived, a noble lady followed her elders and came over. She stared at Ivan with surprise and said, "It's you!"

"It's me." Ivan answered with a neither arrogant nor humble smile and raised his arm slightly.

In order to show the body shape, the male aristocratic dress is extremely slim-fitting, and it also has auxiliary props such as shoulder pads and corsets to make men look taller and stronger.

But at the same time, flexibility is sacrificed, and excessive movements may even easily tear clothes.

The noble lady happily stepped forward and took Ivan's arm, and the two walked into the banquet hall side by side.

Leo looked at Ivan's tall and slender figure, which stood out among the aristocratic children, and sighed like an old father, "He has grown up, he has grown up."

In the hall, almost all the knight lords, nobles in the city, church priests, and temple priests in the entire Isenbor territory were present.

In addition, some big businessmen and landowners without noble titles were also invited by Rigolav to attend.

Including their relatives, there were more than 300 people.

This is the entire upper class of Isenbol. Even a large banquet hosted by the Fangqi family cannot gather so many people.

The host, Leo, was outside welcoming the guests, while the hostess, Olivia, was inside entertaining the female family members.

Around her, there were more than a dozen noble ladies of similar age.

Many of the noble ladies were still unmarried, and under their parents' repeated instructions, they had to build a good relationship with Olivia.

As for those married ladies, they understand the ways of the world better and no longer need the advice of their elders or husbands.

Olivia was able to remain calm in the face of the fawning and flattery of the noble ladies.

But there were also people who were jealous of her. Seeing Olivia acting like a calm and composed mistress, they couldn't help but say some strange things.

I am just a village girl. How many books have I read? How many poems have I read?

How many surnames does her family have? Why did she marry the eldest son of the Duke?

And became the hostess of Isenbol!

"Oh, I really envy you. To be able to marry the adopted son of the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory, I wonder how much effort you must have put in!"

"Little noble daughters like us can't even be seen by the earl's son. At most, we can marry into a Fangqi family."

Olivia laughed and said, "You don't have to work too hard. Just marry him before he becomes the Grand Duke's adopted son."

A noblewoman thought of her knight husband, whose belly was bigger than hers after ten months of pregnancy, and who had married two concubines. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's no use marrying early. Without some ability, it's hard to keep your status."

Another noble lady took a look at Olivia and felt that her status, appearance and ability all qualified her to compete as a female, so she chuckled and said, "Yes, love is not about who comes first, it still depends on one's ability."

Olivia looked at her with a smile and said softly, "Hit!"

The noble lady who was laughing and talking happily in the last second, fell to the ground with her eyes rolled up like a fish that had been electrocuted in the next second.

Uliyan, who was born a soldier, became a knight of a square flag who ruled a certain area.

Olivia, the weak girl next door, becomes the shrewd and capable mistress of River Bay.

Fisa, the ogre who only wanted to feed his own people, began to want his own castle.

Ivan, the shy and introverted militiaman, has become the head of a town and can finally communicate with everyone in a calm manner.

The young widow Agata slept with the piglet in her arms, and her bed partner was changed to the Wind Knight Solovy.

The extreme and arrogant Vicchi begins to show signs of becoming a great general.

Every farmer in Hewan is growing!
