Chapter 3254 Lost Food

"Sir, the supplies have arrived, along with Mr. Howard's letter." Peck shouted outside the door before he entered.

"I know, I know, why are you so anxious? You must know that you are now the housekeeper of the Earl's Mansion. You can't handle this matter. How dare I leave other things to you in the future." Xiaozhi hurriedly went out, still scolding. With.

But looking at Earl Xiaozhi's pace, he himself was very excited.

"My lord, you have fulfilled your mission. My lord gave these to the Earl. There is also a letter here." Howard's crony Casio said with a smile.

He was also very curious about this newly created earl. Someone actually wanted the land of the Bloody Continent. If there was nothing wrong with his mind, he had other plans.

When Casio first entered the Bloody Continent, his eyes lit up. Although this place is still under development, it can be imagined that the future will definitely be limitless.

"Thank you, Casio. It's a long journey, so why not wash your face first? I'll have someone prepare food later." Xiaozhi took the letter and continued.

"Then, Lord Earl, you are busy first." After Cassio said that, he left under the leadership of Peck.

Opening the letter, Xiaozhi read it. In addition to the greetings at the beginning, there was a list of these supplies, as well as the talents given by His Majesty the Emperor.

Xiaozhi felt more confident.

"Leo, please select some talents from this group of personnel and continue to add them to various departments." Xiaozhi said.

Leo, the inspector general of official evaluation, has the function of evaluating and selecting officials.

"Okay, Lord Earl, I'll do it right away." Leo bowed and backed away.

"Okay, everyone should do their own thing. We must eat this batch of supplies as soon as possible and truly digest them. Then our territory will definitely usher in new development." Xiaozhi stood up, looking forward to the future infinitely.

The officials below also nodded in agreement and then left to prepare for their own affairs.

After everyone left, Xiaozhi opened the second page of the letter, looked at an admission notice with mercury inlay, and thought about it silently.

"Notice of Admission to the Academy of Sacred Magic."

This is the emperor's reward to Howard.

The Holy Magic Academy and the Holy Fighter Academy are the two highest universities in the empire.

There was no one in Howard's family who was qualified to practice magic, so he gave this admission qualification to Xiaozhi.

In exchange for a century of prosperity for the Howard family, Howard was very optimistic about Xiaozhi's future.

Xiaozhi is now a junior magician. If he wants to be promoted to an intermediate magician, he needs a lot of things. The most important thing is to practice the skills. The magic academy is a good place to go.

"Alan, do you think I should go or not?" A person flashed in the shadows.

"Sir, don't you already have a choice!" Allen said lightly.

Bamou, codenamed Ansa, is the number one leader of the ANBU. He is responsible for collecting intelligence in the territory and is directly responsible to Xiaozhi.

"Check out whoever comes this time. If there is a traitor, do you know how to deal with it?" Xiaozhi's voice had a hint of coldness.

The admission notice is in October, the beginning of winter, and now it is early spring. There is still a long time. Xiaozhi plans to make good use of this time to build a good castle.

The weather in the Bloody Continent is like a child's face, ever-changing. Yesterday it was sunny and sunny, but today Xiaozhi felt a chill.

Wrapping up his clothes, Xiaozhi ate breakfast and listened to Peck's report on yesterday's territory construction.

"Sir, I have clearly counted the supplies yesterday and put them all away." Peck took out the account book and handed it to Xiaozhi.

After taking the account book, Xiaozhi wiped his mouth, and then carefully looked at the things Peck counted, plus his previous supplies.

As far as food is concerned, we can get through this summer. When autumn comes, food will no longer be a problem. At worst, we will buy some food.

Xiaozhi thought for a moment and continued.

"In terms of food, although there is still enough, we must be fully prepared. As for meat, there is still a shortage. The army should not be idle. Come into the forest and round up the wild animals."

"Doctors must also pay attention to their hygiene. We will let Neo, the director of health, take a closer look at this."

"That's it for now, you can accompany me for a walk." Xiaozhi thought.

We can't just rely on fantasy, we still need to go to the field and conduct actual inspections, so that we can be comprehensive.

"Okay, sir!" Peck bowed and replied.

...

Xiaozhi and Peck spent the whole morning looking at the operations of various departments and the construction sites of the workers. Xiaozhi used his own experience to discuss some feasible construction plans with the workers, which amazed the workers.

Unexpectedly, the Scarlet Earl was so knowledgeable.

"When planting this seed, you must pay attention to the moisture..." Xiaozhi was talking to the farmer who was planting the land.

"Your Majesty, the grain in the warehouse is lost." Tony, who was suddenly in charge of the warehouse, came to report.

Food is a top priority for the entire territory. As soon as Xiaozhi heard that someone was stealing food, he immediately put down what he was doing.

"Tony, tell me carefully, what's going on?" Xiaozhi looked at Tony in confusion.

Tony looked a little panicked.

"Sir, I don't know what's going on."

"I was on duty in the warehouse last night, and I saw a dark shadow, and I just lost consciousness." Tony looked frightened.

"Dark shadow?" Xiaozhi's face darkened.

When Peck saw this, he immediately said sharply.

"What's the crime for leaving one's post without permission? Your excuse is too far-fetched." After Peck finished speaking, he signaled to his surroundings to arrest Tony.

"Forget it, Tony, take me there!" Xiaozhi raised his legs and left.

Tony quickly followed.

The warehouse for storing grain was built first, and it should not be too late to store grain, otherwise the grain would become damp.

Xiaozhi didn't go to the warehouse in the morning because it was a building that had been renovated a long time ago, so he didn't pay attention and didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The tall stone walls and brick-built warehouses, although not that exquisite, are strong enough. How could anyone steal food?

Xiaozhi was puzzled.

"Sir, it's right in front." Tony led the way.

Xiaozhi squatted down and saw small paw prints on the ground, but Xiaozhi discovered that they were disguised. It seemed that someone here wanted to try the majesty of the lord.

Looking at the lack of food in the warehouse, fortunately, there is not much, just a few bags.

"Okay, I understand, Tony, go back and rest." Xiaozhi could tell that this was someone deliberately looking for trouble.

"Peck, go find Bamu, he will tell you who did it." Xiaozhi said confidently.

Peck was stunned. He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask.

"Okay, we've been wandering around all morning. Let's go to the newly built Sam's Tavern to try out and see how Uncle Sam's craftsmanship is." Xiaozhi said with a smile. *
