Warlord: King of All Clans
Chapter 367 Preparing for Winter
Returning to the Riverbend House, Leo immediately saw the three Pegasus tumbling into a pile with the greenskin cub.
These three little Pegasus have just been weaned. They are as snow-white as their parents, but their wings have not yet grown, so they can only flap their wings like ducks.
Freya led them to form a new force in the big house and together they attacked the nest of the greenskin cubs.
Because she was afraid that her orc godson would suffer from the cold, Olivia had the dark floor of the big house converted into a children's dormitory for the youngest green-skinned cubs to live in, but sometimes a few cubs of other creatures would also sneak in.
For example, Freya often brings her friends to stay here.
There is a fireplace and a kang chimney inside, which makes it feel like it is equipped with a heater and much warmer than an ordinary house.
The wooden steps leading in and out of the basement have become the best place for the cubs to play every day.
Leo walked in and shouted to Olivia, the head of the family, "What's going on? Why did you bring the little Pegasus back?"
Olivia was doing the accounts in the room. Hearing this, she said, "It's snowing now. I'm afraid the little Pegasus will be cold, so I asked Freya to bring him back for the winter."
"..." Leo was speechless, "Do its parents agree?"
With Freya's personality, if she had brought the child back secretly, there would have been a huge uproar.
Olivia paused her calculations and considered the question for the first time.
You should agree, right? I'm helping them raise their cubs for free.
She has never been rejected!
Because their bedroom was moved to the second floor, the two original small bedrooms were connected and turned into an office.
The layout inside was the same as Leo's small office in his previous life, with a large square desk in the middle and bookcases along the walls on all four sides.
All the information and accounts of the entire Hewan Territory are here.
Olivia sat at her desk, skillfully turning the large copper abacus, calculating today's accounts amid the crisp sound of beads colliding.
The abacus "invented" by Leo has been widely used in the management of River Bay Territory.
Especially the ogre clerks who assist the leaders are particularly good at this.
A blonde and blue-eyed Western girl, dressed like a noble lady, is working with an abacus at a modern desk. It looks fresh no matter how you look at her.
Her three kobold goddaughters also sat obediently beside her, providing computing power to the mistress.
As the accounts increased, one kobold calculator was no longer enough, so in addition to Seti, two other kobold calculators were added to Olivia's side.
But not all kobold girls are as quiet, well-behaved, serious and hardworking as Seti.
The two newly added golden-haired female cubs were absent-mindedly dialing the abacus, but their ears were perked up, trying to pick up the sounds of Freya and the green-skinned cubs playing in the hall.
Olivia had already noticed that the two dogs were slacking off, and seeing that it was already evening, she said to them, "Go play after get off work."
"Woof woof woof! Time to get off work!"
The two golden retriever puppies rushed out of the office and joined Freya's battle.
Olivia looked at Sethi and reached out to touch her head, "You go play too!"
Seti wagged her tail, but the abacus in her hand didn't stop, "I'll finish these two pages!"
Among the kobold cubs, Seti has the strongest arithmetic talent, and his interests and hobbies are obviously different from those of other dogs.
Under Olivia's careful care, she wore delicate and beautiful clothes and her hair was combed until it was shiny.
Compared to her, Six, who has been responsible for feeding the pigs and is also the representative of the naughty kids among the kobold cubs, is just a rural golden retriever who has just returned home from having fun in the wild.
After following Leo in shooting with a musket for two days, a large chunk of the golden hair on his head and hands was burned off.
But Six didn't care at all. He made a wooden toy gun and carried it on his back. He looked more impressive than anyone else with his bald head.
Because there was a fireplace and a fire pit in the big house, Olivia did not wear a coat, but instead wore a thin silk dress, exposing her smooth shoulders.
With long-term nourishment from holy light and the conditioning of magic honey, Olivia's appearance and temperament became more outstanding, and her fair skin reflected a light flesh-colored luster.
There is a bit more charm under the holy temperament.
Leo couldn't get tired of looking at her and couldn't let her go. He put his hand on Olivia's shoulder and started to act naughty.
Sati, who was standing next to him, felt the familiar atmosphere and obediently put down her work, "Woof woof woof, I'm going to play!"
As they were being intimate, Olivia said happily, "This winter, Hewan has stored a total of 100,000 bags of food. Not to mention getting through this winter, it's enough to last until this time next year."
"Hewan now produces 70% of its own food. Once the newly developed land starts producing food next year, we will basically be self-sufficient."
"And I still have more than a thousand gold coins and six thousand pounds of copper ingots, which are enough to deal with most emergencies."
When it comes to money, Olivia's eyes are full of stars and she becomes much more sacred.
"That's over a thousand gold coins! And it's increasing every month!"
Leo was also very happy. "Then we will do the same as last year and give some benefits to the people of Hewan Territory so that they can spend a warm and well-fed winter."
"Um!"
Leo combed Olivia's blonde hair, "But this year, a large number of villages have appeared in the territory, and we definitely can't take care of every household, so don't worry too much, just do your best."
His wife is good in every way except that she works too hard.
Olivia was full of confidence. "I have already made arrangements. The four towns already have mature grassroots organizations. We just need to allocate money and food. As for the remaining villages, we need to send people to visit them, warn the heads, and establish a reward and punishment system..."
Looking at Olivia who was talking so eloquently, Leo suddenly lowered his head and blocked her mouth.
“Hmm…”
The 100,000 bags of grain stored in the lord's mansion are far from all the grain reserves in Hewan.
After all, now that the people have income, they will store up as much food as possible for the winter, so the number of people that the lord's mansion actually needs to feed is less than half of the total population.
The other lords, with money and food in hand, were considering how much equipment to purchase, how many banquets to hold, and how much to increase the influence of their family.
But Olivia is still immersed in the joy of raising a population.
Throughout last winter, only a few old men and drunkards died in Hewan Territory, but almost no one died of starvation or freezing.
Some of the families of the subjects who have received assistance and free medical care have already started to support the lord's family of three.
Although the productivity of the river bend is high and the profits are huge, the expenses are also high.
In addition to the lord's army, which is already fully armored and the support of many knights, there is also investment in infrastructure and the welfare of the people, all of which are expenses that other knight lords do not have.
There was still a surplus of more than a thousand gold coins by the beginning of winter, which exceeded Leo's expectations and also represented the improvement of Olivia's management ability.
After a while of intimacy, Olivia suddenly whispered, "What do you think about what godfather said?"
