Chapter 12 Lord Simulator (5)
Jiang You slowly woke up, and the fire in his pupils slowly turned from dim sparks into flames.
She yawned and stretched with one hand. Her slow brain realized belatedly that something seemed to be wrong. She turned her head and saw that the entire bone of her right hand was held in Andre's arms.
The Doberman Knight, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know what he was dreaming about. He rubbed her bones and smacked his lips.
——The dog dreams of sleeping with a bone in his arms... Is this a dream come true?
She silently and remotely controlled the bone claw and it crawled out of Andre's arms stealthily. During the process, the bone claw was quite restless, touching here and rubbing there. So when she successfully picked up her disobedient claw, Andre also woke up.
"Good morning, Little Bones." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes and looking out the window. "It's still snowing heavily outside. Won't you sleep in a little longer?"
With a click, Jiangyou put her arm back in place. She glanced at the swirling snow outside, the still-burning fireplace inside, and the knight reclining at the headboard, his lower body covered only by a cloud-soft silk quilt, revealing his sculpted muscles. Her yellow eyes instantly ignited, and with a roar, she transformed into human form and pounced.
——In the winter, the longer you lie in bed, the better it smells.
Takumi and his companions were currently residing in the former castle of the Countess of Canberra, located on the outskirts of Orosei. As a close friend of Queen Isabella and godmother of D'Resi, the Countess of Canberra possessed immense wealth, with luxurious properties scattered throughout her domain. After the King executed the Countess of Canberra and her followers for treason, Takumi inherited her entire estate.
However, Jiangyou himself does not have the hobby of changing houses every day and busying himself with real estate management all day long.
She only kept the castle to fulfill her princess dream of living in a castle. The rest of the property was used for proper purposes: the farm outside the city was given to Holly as a research site for beets and winter-resistant crops, the mansion inside the city was used to build a shelter for women and children, and the remaining houses that could be used as stores were used to open bakeries, dessert shops, sauce shops, gourmet restaurants, and board game bistros...
All kinds of stores of the Lich Group will be spread all over the Principality of Huntington.
The castle had been carefully searched and inspected by the kingdom's knights and magicians led by Andre, and various safety hazards left over from history had been resolved. It was then renovated by the troll engineering team, with dragon crystal windows provided by Xiaolong replaced. Under Jiangyou's various creative ideas, a number of "modern" facilities combining magic and technology were installed, greatly improving the living comfort.
Taking a winter vacation in a warm, off-season destination is naturally a delight, but hiding in a cozy castle amidst the snow, enjoying a hot pot and watching the live broadcast of the Leaf Card Tournament, sleeping when tired and eating when awake, is even more elegant and fitting. Add to that the company of a lover who is both pleasing to the eye and chewy to the touch, possesses incredible energy and stamina, and whose service attitude, duration, and length of service are truly satisfying to the lich, and Jiangyou's happiness level continues to soar.
Ever since Holly shifted his focus to plant research, Jiangyou helped him recruit several high-end talents who were good at business and management. These people all came from military logistics and were used to doing tasks such as transporting food and grass, transporting logistics, and overall planning. They did things quickly and properly, and Holly was very satisfied with them.
In this way, Aunt Wolf was successfully liberated. After hearing Jiangyou's plan to build a maternal and child shelter, her fighting spirit was ignited again. Now she is following Jiangyou to build these shelters in one city after another.
Aunt Wolf even rejected Takuyu's invitation to live in the castle together, and moved into the shelter in Orosei City with her luggage.
——Aunt Wolf is truly a person who loves what she does and is very passionate about her career.
Count Jiangyou, who was fed with energy and had a satisfied look on his face after being fed by the knight, finally stepped into the shelter she built around noon.
Jiang You looked around and was very satisfied with what he saw. "Well, everywhere is clean and tidy, the lights are bright, and the atmosphere is very warm... very good."
Luo Nanna, who was in charge of all the affairs here, followed behind her with her hands in her pockets, looking ready to be inspected by her boss.
"Winter is the busiest time. We need enough food, hot water, medicine, clothing, and bedding," said Jiang You. "If we're short on manpower, we'll organize capable people to do the work. Everyone's idle here anyway. Newcomers must be examined by a doctor. If anyone is found to be ill, they will be sent directly to the newly built hospital for treatment. We can't let diseases spread here."
"Yes!" Luo Nanna answered. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Boss, our conditions here are so good. Once the news spreads, won't some people who don't need help take the opportunity to come here..."
"Then let them come," Jiang You said, unconcerned. His whole body shone with the holy aura of "I'm rich." "Girls who have suddenly encountered misfortunes and fallen on hard times always have many concerns. We're a newly opened shop, so instead of letting them struggle and hesitate whether to lower themselves and come in for help, we should open the door and welcome everyone. Even if a few people sneak in to take advantage of us, it doesn't matter."
She smiled slyly, "You've also learned how to draw soul fire. If you think there's something wrong, eat some soul fire to identify it. If it's confirmed, assign these guys who are trying to take advantage of the situation more menial, dirty, and tiring work. If someone comes here for the delicious food and to save money, then have them clean toilets more often, empty chamber pots more often, dig septic tanks, and fertilize the vegetable gardens... I'm sure they'd be happy to do that."
Luo Nanna suddenly understood. Their sewer system, improved by Boss Jiangyou, now flushes automatically, but it still collects waste into a septic tank dug in the yard. Since they have so many people and produce so much manure, they need someone to clean it out regularly and use the fermented and disinfected fertilizer for fertilization.
Although she could arrange for people to clean up their own messes after using the restroom and bathroom, cleaning the septic tank was a job that everyone dreaded, and she even had to pay employees extra compensation for doing it.
All the hard and smelly work that no one liked to do before suddenly had a place to do it. Luo Nanna now wished she could catch some free food and drinks... ah, no, volunteers who volunteered to do the hard work!
Jiangyou rubbed his hands and said, people should learn to open their minds.
From one perspective, those people came to her house to eat and drink for free and take advantage; but from another perspective, isn't this just providing food and lodging to hire a few people to do the dirty work, and she doesn't even have to pay extra wages!
There are countless dirty and tiring jobs in shelters like this. If someone is willing to shoulder the heavy burden, there will be no need for those already poor girls to look for jobs while having to draw lots and work hard... Hey, it's a big profit!
