Chapter 1332 Lorraine 20
Tan You didn't want to dampen the little guy's enthusiasm, but with Louis's tiny arms and legs, who could he possibly beat?
Tan You thought for a moment, then took the Life Cage. To Louis's wide-eyed surprise, a smaller version of the Life Cage appeared in Tan You's right hand.
Tan You carefully put away the larger one and hung the smaller life cage on Louis's belt: "This is to give you some protection. If anyone tries to hurt you in the future, just lock them in the cage."
"The premise is that you are not allowed to provoke trouble."
Louis nodded, tenderly stroking the miniature prison of life: "I know, I will absolutely not cause trouble for my elder sister."
Tan You nodded: "We don't cause trouble, but we can't be afraid of trouble either. If anyone bullies you, deal with it yourself if you can, and come back for help if you can't."
"But there is one rule: you must not bully innocent people. Every being has the right to walk freely in the sunlight, and we cannot deprive others of their rights based on our own likes and dislikes."
Louis nodded vigorously and took the Cage of Life back to his room to rest. The little guy was also exhausted. Ever since he learned that Tan You was going to break off the engagement, Louis had been on tenterhooks. Now that he had arrived in the land of exile, he could finally rest.
The children can rest, but Tan You can't. She has many things to do. For example, right now, she needs to find out exactly how many races are in the Exile Lands and how many people live within their territories.
Who are the leaders of each race, and what are the unique talents and skills of each race?
She also needed to know the territory of the place of exile, the topography of each region, and so on. In total, there was a lot to do.
Thinking of this, Tan You had an idea and sent a message to Chris: "There's a big meeting tomorrow, at seven in the morning. Don't be late."
She arrived at the place of exile close to dusk, and it took her quite some time dealing with Phoenix and Theodore. Now, even if Tan You wanted to do something, she could only do it tomorrow.
Tartarus never left; he was genuinely curious about how Tan You would govern the Exile Lands.
Tan You didn't care about him. He was a god, what could she do? She was still the lord of Tartarus, so she just treated him as an overseer sitting next to her.
However, the supervisor wasn't just doing his job for nothing. Tan You's gaze fell on him: "You should know the number of people in your territory, right? Give me a detailed list?"
"That will save me the trouble of sending people out to count the population."
Tartarus hadn't expected that he, a mere overseer, would be conscripted. He raised an eyebrow in surprise, then laughed. Tan You didn't stand on ceremony with him; he genuinely found it quite novel.
A vast divine power spread out, like a giant scanner, and soon a huge map appeared before Tan You. The map was constructed from Tartarus's divine power and could be enlarged or reduced at his will.
Tartarus pointed to the very center area: "This is the lord's mansion."
"At the very edge are the Tree People, who have long lifespans. The oldest one is about my age."
"The Tree People prefer stillness to movement, making them the easiest race to manage in the Exile Lands."
"The orc race lives in groups attached to the tree people. For example, the gentle races like the sheep-orcs and horse-orcs live on the periphery."
"This is the settlement of the dwarf race."
"Goblins usually live in nests..."
"The fairy race..." Tartarus eventually got tired of explaining and simply tossed the map to Tan You, letting her figure it out herself. After all, his land of exile was so vast, and there were so many races in the world. Only after taking stock did Tartarus realize that there were actually so many races existing in his territory.
This annoyed Tartarus, who always preferred peace and quiet; indeed, he was not suited for mental exertion.
Tan You took the map and studied it with great interest. With so many races, how could they all be useless? The only problem was that she couldn't spread the map too thin at once because she had too few people available.
"Your mortality rate is too high." Tan You frowned slightly after looking at the data from the past few years.
Tartarus then revealed the ruthlessness of a god: "The land of exile is a place of survival of the fittest."
Tan You shook her head slightly: "Ultimately, it's because the food and medical standards are not keeping up, which is a big problem. If you want to govern the territory well, the population is the most important thing."
Tartarus chuckled. He considered Tan You an equal, but he truly disregarded other races. He didn't even bother with the gods.
It's impossible to expect him to empathize with lower races.
Tan You didn't try to persuade Tartarus either. Tartarus had a typical superior mentality, so why should she try to change his mind? This was a long-established deity who had served her for so many years, and now he was being evaluated by an ordinary person like her?
Tartarus shook Tan You's business plan: "So your first step is farming?"
He thought Tan You was going to do something big, but this is all? She arrived in the Land of Exile, and her first step is farming?
Tan You snatched the project plan from his hand: "Don't look down on farming."
"When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame. A person's life is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. When life is prosperous, there will be less conflict."
“You have a point. What do you plan to do?” Tartarus spread his hands. “Are you perhaps closer to the goddess of life?”
“No, I always have the most faith in myself.” Tan You smiled, and a packet of seeds suddenly appeared in her palm: “The land in the exile area is barren, and even with the best seeds, you can’t grow high-quality grains.”
"I plan to plant grass to nourish the soil first. Could you please help me plant three waves of grass first, and once the soil reaches a certain level of fertility, I can urgently plant a batch of grain?"
"Let everyone get through the harsh winter in the place of exile first."
“The population loss rate is highest during the dead of winter.”
Tartarus pointed at Tan You: "You little girl, you're really pragmatic. When you don't need me, you're all 'you' and 'sir.' But now that you need me, you're all 'you' and 'sir.'"
Tan You smiled, her eyes crinkling: "So, tell me whether you'll help or not."
"Help," Tartarus gritted his teeth, "Don't let this get out. What kind of talk is it for a Lord of the Abyss to be farming with you?"
Tan You raised her hand and swore: "I swear, I will never say a word about it to anyone."
But if other deities guessed it, then it was none of her business.
