The Dictatorial Lords

As Zhang Zhao left with the nobles of the Principality of Tate, everything in Orz began to proceed in an orderly manner under the care of Locke.

During this period of time, Locke's skills in dealing with this aspect have been greatly improved.

In the office, Locke complained: "If I had known that Orz was so busy now, I wouldn't have let Zhang Zhao go to the Principality of Tate."

After the Wei Na sisters at the side heard this, Wei Lian said: "My lord, since you don't want to deal with this, why don't you let Miss Ariana try it, it's not a big deal anyway. Miss Ariana followed Master Zhang Zhao You have studied for so long. You should be able to handle this, right?"

Locke was taken aback. That's right, why didn't he expect that Ariana is still in Orz, staying in the training ground all day long. I don't know where to find any good ones.

"Vilian, then you go and ask Miss Ariana to come. Let her try everything she has learned from Zhang Zhao during this period of time."

Locke eventually called Ariana. On the one hand, Locke really doesn't want to deal with these small things, which seems a bit of a waste of time.

On the one hand, it’s really a test of Ariana’s studies. How can I say that Ariana will manage a dukedom in the future, and she’s still Ellie’s female companion, so it’s okay to start a little bit.

Ariana followed Vilian to Locke's office in a short while.

As soon as she entered the door, Ariana said, "My lord, please tell me that you have something to do with me?"

Locke said with a smile: "Miss Arianna, I think you have studied with Zhang Zhao for such a long time. Now that Zhang Zhao is not in Auer Oz for the time being, I will teach you Zhang Zhao's work for a while, and it will be better. How about validating what you've learned in practice?"

Arianna really didn't expect that Locke would let her ask about Orz's affairs. Before Zhang Zhao was with her, she always listened and studied at the same time. If there was something she didn't understand, Zhang Zhaocai explained it to her. She was never given an opinion. Now I have the opportunity to come into contact with these things.

You must know that among these chores of Orz, there are likely to be some things that are not known to outsiders. Now Locke actually asked her to try to manage the huge Orz.

To be honest, Ariana was a little moved.

Locke doesn't know what Ariana thinks, anyway, now he seems to find someone to handle these things and free up his time.

Seeing Ariana's excited expression, Locke handed the documents on the table to Ariana, and said, "Miss Orianna, I'll let Vilian take you to this period of time, your Office. When Zhang Zhao comes back, I hope you can apply the skills and abilities you learned from Zhang Zhao to these things."

Ariana said excitedly: "Yes, my lord, I will definitely live up to your high expectations. I will finish my daily work." Saying this, she bowed to Locke and followed Vilian out.

Locke sat on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief. This annoying job is finally done. Wei Na watched with a smile on the side.

She likes Locke like this, who has no prestige at all. It seems so approachable. To be honest, it's really unusual for this kind of thing to happen to a city lord with a powerful army in his hand.

Locke suddenly asked, "Weina, what happened to the coal mine we discovered? And those caravans?"

Wei Na smiled and said: "My lord, the progress of the new coal mine is very smooth. Everyone is working very hard, and the few people from the wolf hunting clan have formed a convoy to transport the coal mine back from the mine vein, reducing the We have a lot of unnecessary expenditures, and now the business is getting bigger and bigger. In addition, the wolfhunters themselves are a race with decent combat power, so they don't need to hire additional guards. They are completely warriors in the clan. In this way It saved a lot of money.”

Locke nodded. He already knew that this labor was waiting for someone. It was the same order he gave last time. In the coal mines they brought back, the price of each car was set by him. This new mine basically does not need to copy the mind. Just process these coal mines into finished products.

"So, what about Lawrence? I haven't seen him in the past few months. What are you doing?"

Wei Na said: "Lawrence is not the same as before. He is managing the plants that the adults gave him. It is said that there are a lot of them in the warehouse now. For some reason, Lawrence has not let these mature foods to the market. , last time I was curious about it. Guess what Lawrence said?"

Locke was really curious. Why does Lawrence put mature food in the warehouse. Sell ​​out? Asked: "What is he doing?" For these old subordinates, Locke was more at ease.

Wei Na smiled and said: "Lawrence said that these foods are sold to the nobles outside. Your Excellency may not know that now that the nobles outside have obtained the recipes of our Oroz dishes, the ingredients in this aspect have greatly increased. Yes. Especially the Eagle Kingdom."

Locke remembered, didn't he just present a dish recipe to Duke Ellen last time? Could it be the Eagle Kingdom?

"Is it the Eagle Kingdom?"

Vera nodded. Said: "Lawrence said that now the Eagle Kingdom has many such restaurants in the imperial city or in the territory of Grand Duke Ellen. They are all relatively high-end, and the nobles go there. The vegetables we grow and so on The supply is a bit in short supply. But Lawrence has not increased the scale of planting these vegetables."

Locke nodded, the vegetable seeds given to Lawrence last time, to be honest. Not very suitable for large-scale planting. Moreover. People in this world, except for nobles, those common people would not spend gold coins on these things. It cannot be stored, but can only be eaten in time. It is destined to be only the dishes on the usual dinner table.

"So, what happened to our steam machinery?"

Wei Na generally understands these things better. Nor did Locke shy away from Sister Vena in these matters. That's why I asked this question.

Wei Na said: "Our steam machinery, according to reports, has been sold to more than ten countries, and these countries have responded well, saving them a lot of labor and increasing their production. Maybe there will be no famine today gone."

Famine is a terrible word that basically breaks out every year. Every outbreak does not know how many people will die.

Take the Wigerut Wilderness as an example. Locke has been here for several years, and every year he receives those people who are under famine, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. Now these people have settled down in Orz.

However, there are still many such situations in the world, and these steam machines launched by Orz this time. Especially in terms of agriculture, it really solved the problem of famine every year for many nobles. It is also possible to greatly increase the amount of stored food.

Isn't this great progress?

Now those workers in Orz who have mechanical experience are developing advanced steam machinery. Think of doing everything on Blue Star. Locke knew none of this was realistic. But people, always have a little dream.
