Chapter 388: One night after returning, massive supplies
After listening to Mariel's report, Zong Shen was generally very satisfied with her performance.
Nearly two days have passed since leaving the territory.
The overall development trend of the territory is still very stable.
This gave Zong Shen hope that Mariel could be on her own in the future.
He couldn't keep worrying about everything.
Sooner or later he will die suddenly in the territory.
As the territory develops, he ultimately only needs to grasp a general direction.
Like Baron Bezos of Bospengli.
Usually I only need to deal with major events and issue some administrative orders.
As for those trivial matters, naturally different departments will handle them according to their authority.
Besides, Zong Shen never considered himself a very smart person.
After all, a person's wisdom and energy are limited, and he needs helpers and more help.
It is even more necessary to cultivate a large number of heroic node talents and invest them in all aspects of the territory.
Form a complete territorial administrative grid and control node.
As the territory grows, hone the abilities related to these heroic node talents.
And he only needs to coordinate those heroic talents.
At the same time, the military power is firmly in his own hands.
Then rely on the information acquisition ability of the strategy module.
He is enough to shoulder the responsibility of a core leader of the territory.
This was Zong Shen's plan, and it was also his long-standing development expectation for the territory.
Mariel is a hero with excellent talents.
The performance and progress during this period are obvious to all.
Although he still seems a bit rusty in handling some internal affairs.
But the overall performance can be said to be flawless.
Zong Shen's most important principle in cultivating talents is that attitude is greater than talent.
Talent is only cost-effective, but attitude determines whether Zong Shen is willing to carry out subsequent training.
With his abilities, as long as his attitude is up to standard, Zong Shen is sure to be able to train even a pig into an epic-level heroic talent!
At this time, Howie had also sent Felix and his son to the residential area and returned to the inner city.
As a heroic talent in the territory, he was also assigned a fur coat.
"Okay, I'll leave this batch of supplies to you."
"Also, let's make a summary of the territory's inventory and supplies."
"Report to me tomorrow."
"After taking care of these things, you can go and rest."
Zong Shen glanced at the two of them and completely handed over this task to them.
He himself stretched and turned back towards the lord's small building.
The night is silent and long.
The cold wind howled across the earth.
After Zong Shen left Mariel and Howie to deal with the supplies.
He chose to go upstairs to rest.
The continuous trek made him physically and mentally exhausted.
The large bed in the room, which was originally a bit loose, has been repaired and returned to its original solid appearance.
Zong Shen quickly took off his clothes and closed the window in the room.
The whole person lay on the comfortable big bed.
Soon he fell into sleep.
…
He had a dreamless night, and he slept extremely comfortably.
It was around 6 a.m., after four hours of sleep.
Zong Shen opened his eyes refreshed.
Given his physical condition, a short sleep would be enough to restore his energy.
Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling of the lord's building.
The gray stone pattern is very eye-catching.
It is obviously a new building that was recently upgraded to level three.
But there is a rustic flavor of time in it.
After seeing the castle of Baron Bezos and the manor and mansion of Evans.
The lord's small building, which was originally pleasing to the eyes, has become eclipsed.
But this is his home.
A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
Zong Shen slowly turned his head and looked out the window.
Through the window, you can see the gray weather outside.
Because the winter challenge is about to begin.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen the sun for several days.
This kind of bleak and hazy weather can easily make people feel depressed.
There is a sense of listlessness before winter.
This is a biological rhythm.
Zong Shen turned his head back silently.
He stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while.
Then he got up, sat up, got out of bed and started putting on his armor.
After attaching the last buckle of [Li Mo Battle Armor].
Zong Shen walked out of the room energetically.
Everyone has gotten up.
Free activities are taking place in the open space outside.
Zong Shen came to the living room on the first floor.
Mariel and Howie have been waiting here for a long time.
When Zong Shen went to bed last night, it was already past two in the morning.
It is conceivable that they did not rest for long.
Mariel was relatively well and managed to get some sleep before Zong Shen came back.
Howie followed him back from Bosbon.
At this time, Howie had a pair of panda eyes.
The obvious bags under his eyes were enough to illustrate his current mental state.
"Howie, please continue to rest."
"I'll just ask Mariel to report to me."
Zong Shen sat down on the chair in the hall with great dignity.
Looking at Howie, who looked tired, he waved his hand.
"Okay, Lord Lord..."
Howie was really tired and could hardly keep his eyes open.
After getting Zong Shen's consent, he didn't hesitate much.
After bowing and saluting, he left the lord's small building.
Prepare to go back to the house where you rest and have a restful sleep.
"Mariel, please sit down. Why are you so reserved?"
Zong Shen smiled, pointed to the empty chair next to him, and motioned for Mariel to sit down.
Mariel, who was standing aside, sat on the chair obediently after hearing this.
She has already taken inventory of all the cold-warming supplies in her current territory.
"Sir, let me report to you the current material reserves in the territory."
"The food reserves in the territory are extremely sufficient now, followed by all kinds of fur coats."
"The detailed list is as follows, please take a look."
Mariel took out the list she had prepared long ago and handed it to Zong Shen.
The indigenous people of this world are accustomed to writing with quill pens.
He also mastered the simple art of papermaking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! These things can be easily obtained through the [Market].
Some lords made profits by reselling some daily necessities from the indigenous people.
Zong Shen spread out the list, which is about the size of a card in his hand.
It has been written all over.
Mariel is different from those rough farmers. Although she grew up in the village of Citano,
But she has received a certain level of education.
Mariel even has a certain talent for learning.
Her handwriting is beautiful, and all her lists are written in mainland China's common language.
It just so happens that this language is also the default language that all lords master after their arrival.
There are currently three main categories of cold-warming supplies stored in the territory.
Food: 120 boxes of Bosbon military rations, 9 large barrels of hard bread, 10 boxes of shelf-stable military rations, 3,767 portions of scones in church military rations equivalent to 12 luggage boxes and 5 small barrels, 2,312 portions of air-dried beef, and various types of frozen meat
, cured meats, dried meats, sausages, etc., and about 15 standard heavy wooden barrels, 23 baskets of eggs, 33 baskets of apples, 20 baskets of Boss melons, 50 barrels of refined flour, 10 barrels of shelf-stable beef, and wheat bran
2 buckets of cake.
The barrels here all refer to standard baggage wooden barrels.
One baggage barrel can hold enough food for a hundred people.
Similar to baggage boxes, these baggage barrels are made using the hoop-knocking process.
The contact surface is polished extremely smooth, and is relatively sealed through circles of metal hoops.
At the same time, a layer of tung oil and tree wax will be applied to the outside for auxiliary sealing.
Unopened baggage boxes have a relatively long shelf life at room temperature.
The food currently stored in Zongshen's territory is enough to satisfy the consumption of thousands of people for half a month.
In addition, there are more than 100 cattle and sheep raised in the pastures of the territory.
These can all be counted in food reserves.
So far, the territory has not yet achieved self-sufficiency in food supply.
Mainly because the landing time was too short.
The cycle of developing agriculture and animal husbandry is relatively longer.
These survival challenges are also affecting the farming and animal husbandry development of the lords.
Under extreme climate, it is not only the lords and subjects who are affected.
Cattle and sheep in those farmlands and pastures may also suffer losses.
As a lord, Zong Shen could only choose to bear it passively.
After checking the food reserves in the territory, his eyes moved down the list.
Looked at the next category.
Bedding and clothing: 1,000 pieces of brand new sheepskin jackets, 973 pieces of washed sheepskin jackets, 529 pieces of sewn sheepskin jackets, 73 pieces of miscellaneous wool jackets, 1,170 pieces of double-sided sheepskin winter clothes, 2,959 pieces of ordinary sheepskin, and high-quality thick wool
There are 562 skins, 379 various animal skins, 927 pairs of rabbit fur boots, 116 wool quilts, and 28 wool leggings.
This is the territory’s current reserve of cold-weather clothing.
In addition to the above-mentioned finished products, territorial tailor Alana is also working hard on sewing.
Because the quantity was too large, Alanna took the initiative to ask Mariel to dispatch a few smart female farmers to the tailor shop to help.
Although those peasant women are dull, they are still capable of some simple and tedious steps.
The main sewing work was done by Alanna.
After all, these sewn sheepskin jackets are not particular about style.
Zong Shen just asked her to do as much as possible.
The size is one-size-fits-all based on strong adult men.
On average, each piece of sheepskin jacket sewing requires 2 pieces of sheepskin raw materials.
Currently, the territory's tailor shop can produce approximately 18 to 23 pieces of sheepskin jackets per hour.
Excluding rest time, about 300 to 350 pieces can be produced in a day.
Among these quilts, the one with the best effect in keeping out the cold is the [Double-sided Sheepskin Warm Clothes].
This is Bospan's standard cold-weather clothing. The materials are very solid and the production process is very meticulous.
The second is the [Brand New Sheepskin Jacket] that Zong Shen redeemed from the challenge points and the [Sewn Sheepskin Jacket] that Alanna handmade.
Each of these sheepskin jackets requires more than 2 pieces of ordinary sheepskin, and the materials used can be considered conscientious.
The worst protection against the cold is those sheepskin jackets that have been washed.
Those are basically second-hand goods that Zong Shen collected from the [market].
There are also some brought by Mariel and Tie Zhu from nearby villages.
Most of these sheepskin jackets are old and have more or less wear and tear.
It is a low-quality item included in warm-weather quilts.
But for the majority of lords, this is basically the common stuff they can get.
After all, not everyone can get the standard cold-weather clothing of the indigenous forces.
It is even more impossible to spend points to redeem those [brand new sheepskin jackets] like Zong Shen did.
Besides, there is also a mid-level tailor named Alanna in Zong Shen’s territory.
Can continuously sew sheep fur into coats.
Zong Shen already had a good idea about the distribution of these cold-proof materials.
Then he looked at the third item.
Items to keep out the cold: 537 pine tar blocks, 142 sets of small heaters, 50 sets of medium heaters, 6 sets of large heaters, 27 copper kettles, 17 campfire stoves, 20 magic heat balls, and a heavy-duty piggyback sled
.
Compared with the first two, the third item has much fewer types.
Most of the pine tar blocks and those heaters of various sizes came from the support of Baron Bezos.
A small amount comes from [market] purchases and purchases from nearby villages.
Those such as kettles, hanging stoves, heavy pack sleds, etc., all come from nearby villages.
One of the sleighs was brought from the village of Dinan by Tie Zhu.
I don't know which traveling merchant he got it from in the north.
It comes in handy now. Once winter comes, you will still have to rely on sleds.
As for those magic energy heat balls, they are products of magic energy and need to consume magic energy to keep warm.
Half comes from goblin merchant Boswell, and half comes from point exchange.
This thing is as stated in the function notes.
In a relatively closed environment, it can heat an area of 80 square meters.
Even in an open area with four sides open, it can provide a heating area of 15 to 20 square meters.
This effect is definitely very good.
This thing is relatively expensive in terms of points redemption.
One requires 350 points, and it requires constant consumption of mana after activation.
The consumption per second is 0.012 points, which Zong Shen has calculated before.
If it is used continuously for 24 hours, it will consume 1036.8 points of mana.
This is also a big burden for ordinary lords.
In comparison, those heaters of various specifications are much more friendly to the people.
You can choose to burn wood or pine tar blocks to maintain heating.
The above are the main cold-warming supplies stored in Zong Shen’s territory.
These supplies are enough to ensure that Zong Shen's territory can survive the winter safely.
Even at ultra-low temperatures of 50°C to 70°C below zero.
Baking in the stove, wrapped in sheepskin jackets, drinking hot water, squatting in the house, at least most of the casualties can be avoided.
Of course, in this situation, with Zong Shen's family background, it is not difficult to survive.
The hard part is going out and exploring to search for winter treasure chests, or fighting those snow monsters.
Going out in extremely cold conditions can be fatal.
Even if Zong Shen's body does not make some extra preparations.
Exposed to such extreme low temperatures, they will freeze quickly.
After Zong Shen read the list, he already had a clear idea in his mind about the distribution of this batch of materials.
Before proceeding with other processing, the territory's own needs must first be met!
