Chapter 1335 Lorraine 23
Phoenix. Theodore and other dragons were also busy; Tan You didn't need them to embroider or farm, and they couldn't do it anyway.
The Frost Dragon Phoenix received a task: the Free Territory had been plagued by floods for years. Phoenix's task was to dredge the underground currents, guide the rivers of the Free Territory, and ensure that every major river in the Free Territory was interconnected.
As for Theodore, the lightning-type dragon, Tan You temporarily assigned it to the lord's manor guard. Its daily task was simple: to patrol with the guard.
If there are disputes or conflicts within the territory, that's when the guards will step in. It also gives these dragons something to do, so they don't have nowhere to expend their energy.
With these arrangements, the conflicts in the Free Territory decreased significantly, and the entire Free Territory began to develop in a positive direction.
Watching Phoenix take flight over the lord's mansion, Tan You sighed regretfully: "I want to work in the electricity industry, but unfortunately, everything is in ruins right now, so I really can't take too big a step."
If she were to bring up modernization at this time, it would be pure fantasy. After all, the people of the Free Territory haven't even completely solved their basic needs for food and clothing, and haven't yet achieved the small goal of every household having surplus grain.
So Tan You can only leave Theodore, this "generator," running around everywhere. Lightning-type superpowers can be very powerful if used well.

Winter arrived quickly, and snowflakes fluttered down, turning Liberty Territory into a blanket of white overnight.
Tan You stood by the window and beckoned Chris over: "Today you will patrol the Free Territory with the guard team, mainly to check if any families have frozen to death, and also to see if the various tribes have enough food."
"We must get through this winter safely."
Chris also likes to run outside. As soon as Tan You gives the order, it immediately chuckles and says, "Okay, I'm off right now."
"I'll go get Theodore; Phoenix is still out there clearing the water supply."
Chris and his guards patrolled the territories of the various vulnerable races, which put Tan You at ease. If she had come in the summer, or even the fall, she wouldn't have been in such a rush.
For now, we can only get through this winter and wait until spring arrives and flowers bloom before we can truly unleash our potential within our territory.
Chris returned in the evening.
"The first place I went to was the goblin tribe. Now almost every goblin family has built a new house and installed a heated kang bed. Elder Pete, the chief, also specifically instructed that there were no casualties among the goblin tribe."
"Everyone has prepared warm clothing, quilts, and charcoal."
“They have stored grain at home, although it’s all grass seeds, but it’s enough to last until this season’s harvest.”
“We have also gone through the winters of the other ethnic groups, and this winter is not as difficult as in the past.”
Tan You was relieved. She glanced at the mutated ginger growing in the lord's manor and said, "Tomorrow, send a basket of ginger to each of the goblins, dwarves, orcs, and other races."
"If anyone goes out, they must drink a bowl of ginger tea to ward off the cold when they come back."
Chris replied, "Understood! Lord, I also want ginger."
This fire-type dragon has a particular fondness for spicy and stimulating foods like ginger. Ginger from the mother plant, in particular, is especially effective.
Chris was efficient, so Tan You certainly wouldn't be stingy. She handed her a packet of ginger candy: "Try this, it's a little snack I made especially for you. Eating raw ginger on its own is so unhygienic, isn't it?"
Chris was surprised that Tan You had actually thought of making snacks for it. He was so touched that tears welled up in his eyes. Tan You gently pulled at its eyelids: "It's not that serious. You were much more pleasing to the eye when you were unruly."
Chris's initial感动 (feeling of being touched) vanished instantly. He stood beside Tan You with a broad smile, ate a piece of ginger candy, and then mumbled, "Let Theodore and Phoenix know, they'll be even more jealous." "Oh?" Tan You asked curiously, "What's the story behind this?"
Louis raised his hand: "I know, I know."
Tan You looked down at him: "If you know, then tell me?"
“Hehe,” Louis’s eyes narrowed into slits as he laughed, “Phoenix and Theodore only get one gold coin a month, and they’re jealous that Chris gets a high salary of ten million amethyst coins.”
“My eldest sister is exceptionally talented and is estimated to become a God of Magic before she is fifty. She is currently 20 years old, so Chris only needs to work for her for 30 years.”
"30 years is 360 months, so Chris's salary would be 27778 purple gold coins per month."
“One purple gold coin is equal to 1000 gold coins. By that calculation, Phoenix and Theodore are essentially working for their elder sister for free.”
"They're jealous. Why does Chris get paid so much?"
"It also manages the money for its eldest sister and sleeps on her gold coins every night."
"But Phoenix and Theodore are getting such low wages, they're just jealous."
Tan You laughed: "Who told them to cause trouble? Since they caused trouble, they should bear the corresponding responsibility. Besides, the dragon race is so rich, do you think they would even look at my measly three measly coins?"
Chris flapped his wings: "That's not just a pittance, it's a lot of money."
Tan You tugged at the tip of its wing: "No matter how many there are, they're still mine. I'm already being lenient by allowing you to sleep with them as pillows. Don't try to control them and end up making them all yours."
Chris's wings stiffened slightly, as if he were feeling a little guilty: "This... how is this possible?"
Tan You chuckled and didn't dwell on the topic. Instead, she looked at Louis and asked, "Did you find the knight I threw into the Free Territory for the task I assigned you before?"
Louis pursed his lips: "Found him. Found him yesterday. He was captured by the dwarves and is being kept in the tribe to work as a blacksmith."
Tan You laughed: "That guy is physically strong, and the dwarves know how to make the most of him. It's a good thing he didn't end up with another race, otherwise he would have been in big trouble."
Tartarus asked curiously, "What do you want with him?"
Tan You said with a hint of helplessness, "Talent is scarce in the Free Territory. That guy must have some cunning and shrewdness to become the head guard of the Dubot family. Come work for my lord's manor; I have a lot of things to do here."
Tartarus: "Aren't you worried he'll pull some tricks?"
Tan You clenched her fist: "If they try anything underhanded, we'll crush them. An elephant doesn't care if an ant has any ulterior motives; an elephant will only crush it. That's absolute power."
Louis secretly memorized those words. He had already learned so much from his older sister that his little brain was about to burst with knowledge.
Tan You patted Louis's head: "Louis, I will let you stay in the Free Territory until you come of age."
“Once you grow up and are capable of living independently, I would prefer that you go to Silent Hill to rebuild the Houston family.”
Louise panicked slightly: "Elder sister, can't I stay in the Free Territory forever?"
