Idle game leads to another world

Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.

Mid-July, morning.

More than three months have passed since Princess Viola led her army to the Leon Territory. In just one quarter, the entire territory has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The territory that had been somewhat lifeless under the rule of Earl Leon has regained its vitality.

However, there have been no major military moves. The troops loyal to Viola have only been training on a daily basis.

As usual, Viola returned to the office after finishing her prayers.

Viola is not the only one in the office. In addition to Zola and several guards knights who are good at internal affairs, there is also a white hair.

Compared to the guard knight who also wears armor at work, this white-haired man wears a gorgeous big skirt and looks more like a lady at a ball.

She is Greta Orr Fran, the daughter of Count Fran.

Nominally, he wanted his daughter to go to a safe place, but in fact, he was sent to Viola as a hostage.

Since each demon kingdom is essentially composed of noble territories, in order to prevent the powerful nobles from rebelling, children of feudal nobles must live in the capital from the age of six until they reach adulthood at the age of 15 before returning to the territory.

Greta has long been 15, but the situation is different now. Count Fran sent his daughter to Viola, probably with the intention of accepting a certificate to show that he will unswervingly follow the princess.

You must know that Earl Fran currently only has one child, Greta. As the only heir, its importance is self-evident.

"Your Highness, the grain production list for this season is here."

Viola looked at the report sent by Greta. The increase in grain production was not much different from the data in previous years, which was expected.

However, the experimental field outside the city gate has already ushered in its first harvest. Due to the careful care of the druid, the yield of less than two acres of land is extremely amazing.

Many farmers are already asking around where to find potato seeds, and it will be a matter of course for them to be popularized. I believe that by the next quarter, food production will increase significantly.

Moreover, as windmills were built one after another, the processing of grains was much more convenient than before.

It happened to be the wheat harvest season. Viola turned the drawings given by Li Chengqi into real objects and rented them to farmers for free, a wooden machine called a windmill.

Originally, after the wheat was harvested, it was necessary to manually screen out the mixed straw, shriveled grains and other debris. With an ancient windmill, as long as the handle is turned, the above debris will basically be emptied.

Then the wheat grains were dried and thrown into the windmill, and a continuous supply of flour was obtained.

This saves labor to a large extent, allowing the saved human resources to do other things.

"The oil collection is also going very smoothly. The water pump invented by Miss Aldai can extract about fifty barrels of oil every day. The territory has completely got rid of the problem of insufficient oil, but it is still slightly insufficient as a strategic material reserve."

The water pump for pumping oil is actually a type of steam engine, which relies on atmospheric pressure to drive the piston. However, the design is still very immature. It can only be used to this extent and cannot be as exaggerated as forming an oil production chain.

This speed is enough. Viola and the others extract oil mainly for direct burning and do not have any oil processing capabilities.

"The issues with fur and cotton have also been resolved, and there is enough time to make enough warm clothing before winter begins."

Viola has renovated the dock in Leon's territory these days, and it can barely accommodate medium-sized merchant ships. The merchant ships coming from Sailing City also brought a large amount of supplies that were urgently needed in Leon territory.

This includes cotton.

As for the fur, it's all thanks to the white dragon.

Bailong has a group of winter wolves under his command, and they usually use them as food reserves. Fortunately, creatures like dragons sleep most of the time. A full meal can last a long time, otherwise there are monsters in the snowy area. It has to be eaten up.

The winter wolves living in the shadows did not dare to disobey Bai Long's orders. They kept the furs of the prey they hunted, and when they accumulated enough, Bai Long would personally deliver them to Leon's territory.

The quality of these furs is not very good. After all, the winter wolf won't care whether the fur is intact after one bite. But if you put a few pieces together, you can make a fur coat. It can keep out the cold, so you don't have to worry about whether it looks good or not.

Viola also successfully connected the port to the Sailing City and contacted the lords who were still resisting. Now a large number of letters are sent to the Leon territory by water almost every day, hoping that Princess Viola can come out to take charge of the overall situation.

It is true that Viola will not stay in Leon's territory for long, but now is not the time to counterattack.

Her current military actions are just to pay close attention to the movements of the four-nation coalition and send a large number of scouts to and from the Leon territory and the Half-Moon Fort on the south side of the Spine of the World Mountains.

This operation could not be carried out by the four-nation coalition. It looked like a big move, but it only looked like Viola had not taken any military action.

"In addition, the construction of Your Majesty's temple is progressing smoothly, and the craftsmen hope that Your Highness will be able to preside over the ceremony."

After saying this, Greta closed the notebook, adjusted her restless white bangs with her hands, and waited for Viola's order.

Currently, the only religious facilities in Leon's territory are the chapel in the castle and the holy emblems and statues in the square.

There is not even a temple, which is really unreasonable.

So after the busy farming time passed, Viola immediately mobilized manpower to build the temple.

According to Viola's idea, she had to build a temple that was not much smaller than the castle. However, after rigorous calculations, it was found that the high amount of manpower and material resources required to build such a temple would seriously affect the counterattack plan, and In Leon's territory, there are no architects who know how to design temples. If you take too big a step, you will get hurt.

So Viola thought again and again, and finally agreed with her knights and reduced the size of the temple to one-tenth of the original plan.

After all, there are no conditions now, and we really can’t force it.

The construction speed is so fast. On the one hand, the number of followers of the Demon King God among the civilians in the territory has increased sharply. As soon as they heard about the construction of the temple, they all came to help.

On the other hand, just because this temple is not big enough, it can only barely meet the demand.

This was what Greta wanted to report. Viola looked up from the document and said in a very friendly tone:

"You can relax, I never held you hostage."

As the heir to the earl, Greta has also received an elite education since she was a child. She has some knowledge of internal affairs and military affairs, so she can help Viola, who has insufficient officials, handle government affairs.

And Greta did a good job indeed, whether it was prayer or government affairs, everything was impeccable.

But although this person looks sweet, it seems like he can't smile at all. Every time he sees her, he has a serious face.

"No, Your Highness, there is no room for sloppiness in the work. If you have no other instructions, I will go to inspect the production progress of the factory as scheduled."

Viola sighed:

"Okay, feel free to report any questions to me."

Greta bowed her head and saluted, then opened the office door and went out.

After being sent here as a hostage, Greta must still be a little bit resentful.

But Viola didn't have time to think about whether Greta was unhappy because of this. She looked back at the map hanging on the wall, which had dense lines drawn with pens of different colors.

She stared at the map and murmured:

"There are still three months..."
