Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 138 136. I heard the news of Rand's return
On December 996, 12, Lant's team finally returned to the territory of Roth, and the tower of the castle saw them when the team crossed the boundary river.

"Finally coming back!" Huck Benma let out a long sigh of relief when he learned that his fourth son had returned. Since he became a baron, he has never doubted himself like he did in the past few weeks.

"Finally, we don't have to hold those troublesome meetings," Huck muttered, recalling 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, doubting whether Lant was born by himself, and even more doubting whether Laniya was a magister who hid his identity .

On the first day Rand left, when Laniya found Huck, Huck even thought that Laniya was here to throw himself into his arms, but unexpectedly, the woman sent four pages of paper.

These 4 pages are the daily plan for the territory formulated by Rand and Lania, from the most basic territory population, gold coins, livestock, grain, various materials, and the number of magic pattern boards;
From the training of the knights, the learning of the children, the management of daily affairs, the cleaning of the castle rooms and various tents, and finally the harvest of various hunting teams, the progress of construction projects, and even the names of prominent civilians.

In a word, based on the principle of building a system yourself since there is no system, Rand designed a set of statistics and task systems for the territory according to various management games in the previous life.

In the whole statistical work, Rand only requires one thing, which is to be true and accurate. There is no mission goal, no reward or punishment, but every number required to be counted must be true.

The construction tasks are formulated according to the general needs of the territory, and there are corresponding progress requirements.

From the day when Rand left, Laniya would give Huck 5 pieces of paper every day, and on the seventh day, 7 pieces of paper were handed over, which were made by Makoto and Laniya.

Except for the gold coins, the population of the people, and the amount of food, Huck basically couldn't understand all the content written on these papers.

What's even more frightening is that Laniya held a territorial joint meeting every 5 days. Huck, who was completely unaware of the situation, was invited into the big tent and watched dozens of demon-owners or non-monster stewards report to her. Nearly five days of work and difficulty.

Whether it was Luo Erhe who led the training of the knights, Kur Yagan who was in charge of all iron repairs, Neal who was in charge of training horses and sending out cavalry scouts, Nancy who was in charge of taking care of the children, and Mei Wennan. The several butlers in the house will report their respective tasks in accordance with the general routine. Whether they are demon possessors or non-monsters, they will not question Laniya's management.

In Huck's eyes, Lania was the actual manager of the entire territory, and he, the pioneering baron and the lord's father, was just a sculpture at the venue.

Huck asked Albert in private if Lania was so rampant when Ranter was there, but Albert actually said that Lania was more meticulous than Lania when Ranter was there, because Lania couldn't tell The correlation between the different numbers, but Rand could see it.

Laniya sometimes couldn't hear the nonsense figures made by the demon users, but Rand could hear it. Rand could even hear from the children's tone which teacher was not serious enough in teaching, so no one dared to speak at the meeting. Inflated figures.

"Hey, this youngest son went to the Royal Capital Church, so he doesn't learn these things, right?" After hearing his brother's description, Baron Harker almost suspected that his youngest son was the one who was sent to the Royal Capital to receive education from an early age.

However, Huck has never been very demanding of himself, and it’s fine if he can’t understand the statistics, but what frustrates him the most is that Rand actually took away the five demon-possessed girls without any harm. Leave it to him and Ryan. They don't have to do anything these few days, but it's good to get in touch with each other.

In Huck's eyes, these girls are the same as Rand's fire. Although they are very precious, who they are with should not depend on fate?

At last it was all over, Rand was back, and all the reports and meetings could be away from him.

"Rohr, hurry up and gather the Knights to welcome Rand!" Huck yelled, finally enjoying himself.

. . . .

Rand, who had just crossed the boundary river, was extremely happy when he saw the huge battle of his knights.

Hundreds of cavalry lined up next to Rand's carriage and escorted the carriage into the tent area around the castle.

The citizens of Rand were moved when they heard the sound, and walked out of the camp to welcome them.

"The adults are back"

"The lord is back"

"Run the horse! Run the horse!"

There is also a large group of barbarians ready to start singing.

When Huck and Ryan followed Lania, Albert and others to the gate of the camp and saw that everyone was welcoming their son, pride, jealousy, and incomprehension, all kinds of emotions came to their hearts.

In Huck's eyes, the territory is composed of the families of the demon possessors, his intentions must be realized by the demon possessors, and his wealth is continuously accumulated by the demon possessors.

However, his son Rand gave a ruling method that was very different from the knights and nobles in the past. Almost the lord himself led a group of non-monsters to rule accurately down to each subject.

Of course, if Rand knew about his father's confusion, he would only yell at his injustice. After all, in his opinion, all the meetings now have to be held, and all the data must be counted. In Rand's eyes, it was even rougher.

The luxurious carriage was getting closer, and Rand poked his head out from the door behind the coachman, and saw his father, Laniya and others.

Rand, who hadn't returned to his territory for two weeks, missed his big tent and territory very much. Several rounds of snow had fallen from the Galloping Horse Plain to Maned Wolf City, and the white land looked like it was covered with snow.

"Father! Brother!" As he approached the gate of the camp, Lante simply stood beside Pete, stood in the car and waved to everyone.

The welcoming crowd erupted in cheers, and the barbarians sang about the grandparents and fathers of Galloping Horse.

In the welcome of everyone, Rand first returned to his big tent. These days Rand's tent has been carefully taken care of, and there is a fire to heat the whole tent at any time.

After reporting to Huck every day, Lania will 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, reading the weekly newspaper while listening to reports from Laniya, Makoto and others.

Knowing that the various leaders returning from Rand are also arriving at Rant's tent one after another, Huck watched a new meeting begin, and his head began to ache.

But what Huck didn't expect was that although Rand had been looking at the report, the actual meeting time was not too long. He asked about the progress of the project in the territory, the stock of grain, the stock and slaughter of the main livestock, and asked about the children's study. progress, and then stop asking.

"Everyone, I want you to announce three things. First of all, a new mage has come to our camp, Master Ben Kaur. This mage is knowledgeable and ambitious. He came to our camp to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors. .” Rand pointed to Ben who was near the tent door.

"Laniya, you have to prepare all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for the mage. If there is something that the mage needs, but our camp does not have it, just tell me, and I will let people from the maned wolf city or the king's capital buy it back!"

"What?" Huck was the first to find it incredible. As a knight lord, it was hard for him to imagine why Rand would praise a mid-level mage so much.

"Mage Ben?...Ben...Cauer?" Albert kept recalling, always feeling that there was such a name in his memory.

"Albert, don't you remember me? I still haven't forgotten your demeanor in the capital!"

At some point, Ben had already arrived beside Albert, and Albert suddenly remembered,
"You...you..." Albert looked at the middle-level mage with his eyes wide open. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Yes, it's me, Ben Kaur." The mage grabbed Albert's hand, "You remember, I didn't expect you to be here all these years and train a junior like Rand. "

As Kaur spoke, he pulled Albert out. Since Rand's subordinates regarded this as a territorial joint meeting, 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 a chat, it's okay." Lante directly approved the two to leave.
