Alien landlady

Chapter 289 Cat Adulthood
A few minutes later, two butlers came up, the butler removed the tea tray, and the housekeeper brought hot soup and bread, as well as side dishes to accompany the bread.

Bai Tongtong's skin was still swollen, and the touch of her fingers became a little strange, so she ate slowly, fearing that she might accidentally spill a bowl of soup on the blanket.

But Farrell came back quickly, holding a thick folder in his left hand and a glass of wine in his right.

At this time, Bai Tongtong was still holding the soup bowl in both hands, sipping it, licking the soup stains on her lips, watching Farrell spread the contents of the folder on the coffee table, which looked like there were books and albums s things.

While sipping his wine, Farrell drew on the paper with red and blue pencils, occasionally asked Bai Tongtong a few questions, and then continued to make marks on the paper.

After a few questions, Bai Tongtong realized that he was reconciling accounts.

"Why do you have to do the account reconciliation yourself? Can't your profiteers help?"

"They can only provide the running accounts they have handled. I can only do the final general ledger. You should sort out your accounts as soon as possible. Your Majesty will want to see it at any time after the holiday."

"It's really killing my accountant."

"Find two new accountants, one accountant is far from enough for you now."

"It's so easy to find a good accountant. My accountant is a math teacher. I almost forgot that he used to teach math."

"The tax collector."

"what?"

"Retired or career-changing tax officers, they are ready-made accountants, and they are also familiar with tax laws."

"Hey, it makes sense. Find some family members in the magic circle, and then go and settle accounts for the church for me."

"Well, this is a way. Tell the magicians, they will help you spread the news, remember to find a few more, take the opportunity to separate the public account from the private account, and don't let one person take care of it all."

"Well, that's something I'll be busy after the holidays. The accounts you want now can only kill my accountant."

"You bring your accountant over tomorrow, and we will hurry up and get the accounts done in a few days. The current domestic situation in Rebjanik is just the beginning for us. Taking advantage of their domestic instability, we just happened to Do something to confuse them even more."

"Fighting an economic war is much gentler than a real military confrontation. Bloodshed and sacrifice are not visible, and it is difficult to arouse detection and vigilance. But as long as the right strategy is used, a country can collapse instantly, and the degree of damage is comparable to a natural disaster."

"It's your favorite anyway."

"Wars cost money. Don't you say every day that the treasury is poor, the treasury has no money, and the treasury is waiting to eat the church's treasury? Don't think about sending your soldiers to the battlefields of other countries. Think about the ancient times in the future. Lisi Empire, from now on, we must insist on convincing people with reason, and draw a clear line with those barbarians who shout and kill at every turn."

"So, if it were you, what would you do next?"

"It's very simple. During the grain harvest season, continue to buy their grain at a high price, push up their domestic grain prices, and at the same time cause a shortage of domestic grain. These grains are used as Gulisi's aid and sent to allies as military rations The same is true for other cash crops, buy them first, sell some in your own country, give some to your allies, and the rest, after a makeover, pass through Marzio’s border merchants, and then sell them back to Rebjanik.”

"A makeover?"

"Rebjanik and Mazio belong to the land-connected east and west countries, and the geographical climate and environment are roughly the same from north to south. For example, the oil crops in Rebjanik are replaced by Mazio's oil tanks. Marzio’s vegetable cooking oil was sold back to Rebjanik. They closed the Magician’s Guild, the news flow is very slow, and few of the church’s staff are good at mathematics. If the recruited magicians help, maybe they will respond as soon as possible Come here, but even if you are aware of it, you can’t deal with it. It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. As long as there is money to make, even if the enemy comes to buy it, it is still a business, not to mention that they cannot distinguish profiteers who have taken camouflage potions.”

"Civilians may not be aware of it, but merchants will not fail to notice that raw materials that they have been able to buy in the past have inexplicably experienced shortages and price increases this year. This is a very strange thing in itself."

"It's easy to handle. Didn't the church in Rebjanik stir up civil strife in several countries under the banner of religion? When you were active there, you spread rumors by the way, saying that they were exported to countries where wars were fought. Yes, food, sugar, salt, wine, cloth and ironware, these are essential supplies for the army, and they can be sold at a high price."

"Hahahaha, they will scold profiteers in China."

"It's time to let them have a taste."

"No, we have to take our time. We have to let the church get power and let the pope move over."

"No problem. Crops have their own growing season. This kind of business can only be done a few times a year. We buy most of them and sell them back a small part to confuse them into thinking that there are enough commodities in the market, but because there are too many in the middle Several times, even the cheapest coarse grains will increase in price. The increase in grain prices will lead to an overall increase in animal prices. The rich don't care about a few copper coins for a pound of flour, but the poor can't stand it. In three to five years, It makes them itch but can't scratch them, and our country must at least support the Kellogg faction to the extent that it can compete with the Ni faction, and the huge magic circle family population is the main force of this battle."

"Your plan will cost a lot of money from the treasury."

"What you spend will be earned back in the future. Think about the future Gulisi Empire. In the face of the territory you get, this amount of money is small money. Don't tell me that the treasury doesn't even have the money to buy food from other countries? If you are so poor, then stop daydreaming and keep the status quo, I will travel to a small island, and after a few years, I will bring my people back.”

"After that, you started threatening people again." Farrell pointed at Bai Tongtong with a smile while pinching his pen.

Bai Tongtong grimaced triumphantly, put down the finished soup bowl, wiped his mouth, patted the blanket on his body, and half-lyed down comfortably, "You must know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, handsome guy."

Farrell put down his pen and stood up, took the potion left by Nellie and walked towards Bai Tongtong, "Since you are so eloquent, you must have completely subsided the fever, drink the potion."

"Drink the medicine right after eating." Having said that, Bai Tongtong took the medicine and drank it in one gulp.

Farrell touched Bai Tongtong's forehead, the heat had indeed subsided, and his complexion returned to normal, only the swelling remained. The face, arms, and hands were all round, and there were dimples on the skin.

"Have fun?"

"It's fun." Farrell poked Bai Tongtong's arm back and forth.

"Fun with your size!" Bai Tongtong slapped off the annoying paw.

"Since you're all right, help me reconcile the accounts." Farrell turned around and brought a small round coffee table and placed it in front of the bed, and distributed half of the current account to Bai Tongtong.

"You are too cruel, I am still a patient!" Bai Tongtong was about to shrink into the blanket.

"Don't pretend to be dead, get up and work. Your knights and magic pets are fighting desperately for your honor in foreign countries. Don't discredit them."

"You actually said that!" Bai Tongtong sat up awkwardly, glared at Farrell angrily, took out her own magic desk lamp and placed it on the round table, adjusted the brightness, grabbed a bill and a pencil, and wrote it on the paper. Sketch it up.

The two of them are much more efficient in their work. Farrell took the materials purchased from Rebjanik and resold them to various parts of the country through Bai Tongtong's hands. Although Bai Tongtong did not bring her own account book, she relied on her memory It can also complete the preliminary reconciliation work.

Unknowingly, a few hours later, the two came back from work, put down the pen and paper and stretched their necks and arms. Bai Tongtong found that the swelling on her body had disappeared, and her skin regained its real touch.

Farrell took the ointment left by Nellie, and while applying the ointment to Bai Tongtong, he made fun of her being made like this by the thorny bush.Bai Tongtong retorted not to be outdone, the two of them came and went and fought fiercely.

After applying the medicine and the battle was over, the two quickly and briefly discussed the matter of tomorrow. Bai Tongtong got dressed and did not let Farrell see her off. She used the ground escape technique to go directly to the palace, and she returned in less than a minute. own guild.

The receptionist on the night shift was very happy to meet Bai Tongtong when he came back in good health. Bai Tongtong comforted his subordinates and left a message to remind the accountant Linton that there was work to be done tomorrow morning.

After breakfast the next day, Linton took the account book and rushed to Farrell's house with Bai Tongtong to finish the rest of the work.

Since Bai Tongtong received the first batch of goods, Linton has made every detailed account, so the reconciliation between him and Farrell is not very troublesome work. She only knew how much money she paid, she only knew that she was dizzy counting gold coins in those days.

This reconciliation work lasted for a few days, and the second half of the entire New Year's holiday was spent on it. The profiteers brought back a wide variety of goods, and the statistical calculations took a lot of time. Dealing with numbers.

That Miss Lena came here almost every afternoon, and every time she brought some delicious pastries for everyone to eat, Bai Tongtong and Linton followed suit, eating soft mouths, sweet mouths, coaxing Lena to blush and soften her hands He couldn't even hold the cake fork, and he kept giggling with his handkerchief covering his mouth.

After getting along with each other a few times, Bai Tongtong can also see that this Lena is a gentle girl with good qualities, and her family background is also very good. She is the daughter of a declining honorable noble family. Upbringing, standing with Farrell is very suitable, Bai Tongtong is relieved, there should not be so many girls in the guild this spring.

On the last day of the holiday, all the reconciliation work was finally completed. Linton took his information back to the guild first, while Bai Tongtong stayed at Farrell's house, waiting for a delicious meal in the evening.

Covered with Farrell's flying carpet, Bai Tongtong sat on the couch in the study and read. Farrell's collection of books is very rich, and Bai Tongtong was reluctant to leave when he saw his full bookshelf for the first time.

Farrell went in and out of the study, packing up his materials and documents, and when he returned to the study for an unknown number of times, he saw Bai Tongtong falling asleep with a book in his arms.

He walked over and gently took the book away, covered Bai Tongtong with a blanket, and then went back to the desk to tidy up the messy table. After more than ten minutes, Farrell was finally able to sit down and have a rest, drink a cup of tea, Take a nap.

The fireplace in the study was burning hot and warm. In order to maintain the circulation of fresh air, Farrell used to leave a small gap between the door between the study and the terrace, which was also convenient for Harding to come in and out.

Farrell knew that he must have fallen asleep, because he was awakened. Harding, who had been away for a few days, came back with the bloody smell from the battlefield. Go into the study, run straight to its owner and companion, and tell Farrell that it is safe.

It's just that there is still a small animal in its mouth.

Farrell's eyes widened.

The one held by Harding was a shadowless cat in the shape of a house cat.

The kitten struggled to the ground from Harding's mouth with a displeased face, rolled on the carpet and stood up, licked off the saliva Harding left on himself, looked around the room, and locked his eyes on the couch Bai Tongtong rushed over with her legs swinging, jumped onto the sofa from her feet, walked along the edge to her head, stopped on her shoulders, sniffed her scent, and then wiped the blanket away with her head. One corner, got in, stepped on her chest carefully to stop, turned around, lay down, stuck out her head, pressed against her bright white chin, and slept together.

Bai Tongtong didn't wake up at all, she just moved her neck, and the cat's head just rested on her shoulder, snuggling up intimately.

【what happened?what's the situation! 】

[It's nothing, the cat is officially an adult. 】Harding was very calm. The Shadowless Cat stepped into an adult body on the battlefield, and all the enemies who fought at that time suffered.

【adult? !Is it an adult body? ! 】Farrell thinks how is it possible,【Shouldn't it be bigger? 】

【Who said this?Shadowless Cat Wuying Cat, since the ancients named it a cat, of course there is a reason for it. If it is bigger, it should be called Shadowless Tiger, or Shadowless Lion. 】

[It turns out that the meaning of the shadowless cat has actually indicated the form of an adult. 】

[Yes!The ancients were very particular about naming. 】

[You didn't say it earlier when you knew it, and it caused me to guess like everyone else. 】

[I said earlier that there are no surprises. 】

[Then can it still grow bigger? 】

[Yes, the battle form is a ferocious earth-type war beast that is bigger than a lion. Human soldiers are vulnerable to it. Otherwise, we will not be able to return in a few days. 】

[Hehehehe, so you all come back with a complete victory. 】

[Well, the former king who was usurped regained his country. None of the usurpers and their accomplices escaped, and the contacts sent by the church of Rebjanik were also wiped out. This time they were all defeated. 】

[Very good, this is exciting and good news. 】

[The most shocking news is that the Shadowless Cat has become an adult. Its performance on the battlefield frightened the enemy. 】

[As a land creature, it is the smartest thing for humans to have a good relationship with Shadowless Cat's partner. Opposing her is anti-humanity, and of course anti-humanity will not end well. ] Farrell rubbed Harding's head, looked at Bai Tongtong who was sleeping soundly, and smiled as if he owned the wealth of the whole world.
