"Yes."

Tia was still very confident in Miriam, so after giving him the instructions, she went to take a nap.

The group of people watched as lunch was delivered, but they still had no intention of letting them go. They wanted to shout and make a noise but they didn't have the strength.

"Come here, I want to write a letter!"

"Is there anyone?"

"Somebody come!"

……

The guards outside the door knew that these people were imprisoned here by Tia, and they did not dare to open the door without Tia's order. After all, they dared to imprison such a prominent person, let alone a group of unknown people like them.

Tamara, the maidservant beside the lord, just came to remind them that the lord has to take an hour nap at noon every day.

Who dares to disturb me during this hour?

When Tia woke up from her nap, she heard someone report that the group wanted to write a letter, and she smiled disdainfully.

You thought she wouldn't dare keep them locked up for that long?

Still want to control her?

In order to let the sounds from inside out, the door was not completely closed. She walked to a dead corner and listened to the sounds coming out from inside.

"Didn't you say you were just going to take a one-hour nap? Now an hour has passed, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

"Did you go to see the Lord?"

"Someone is coming!"

……

"Give them the paper and pen in another forty minutes." Tia slowly left there, looking at the sun outside the window, which was warm and comfortable on her body.

"But there's such a commotion inside..."

"They are the ones who are more anxious." Tia walked outside and squinted her eyes comfortably in the sunlight.

People as smart as them usually have two account books in their hands. It is obvious that they can get the real account book before lunch as quickly as possible.

If they insist on dragging it out, then let them drag it out.

"Go and get my book. I haven't read much today." Tia said as she sat down on the chair.

Tamara followed instructions and quickly brought the book over.

By the time Tia's attention shifted away from the book, the first account book had already been delivered.

"Millian, take that group of people to settle the accounts. Oh, and report the accounts to that room for settlement."

Tia said as she led a group of people back into the study, "Let's start checking the first account book now."

The rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper makes people feel restless, especially the boss who is being audited, who is afraid that there is something wrong with the account book sent to him.

Tia simply changed her place and continued reading, ignoring the probing looks from those people.

Finally, after several hours, with the help of several people, the liquidation was finally completed.

"The master has completed the settlement, and it's accurate." Miriam's voice brought Tia back to her senses, and also made the boss who was being audited feel relieved.

"Can I leave now?" The boss finally understood. Although the man in front of him was young, he had a lot of tricks. He didn't dare to try to be clever anymore. He just wanted to feel at ease as soon as possible.

"The accounts are in order. When will the missing items be delivered?" Tia took the account book and looked at it several times for comparison. It was no wonder that he dared to be the first to send the account book. There were actually not many missing items, of course, only compared with others.

"It will be delivered immediately. If you are worried, you can come with me to get it in person." The man nodded and thought. Although he didn't need much, he still needed to make some choices to fill the hole he had accumulated over the years in a short period of time.

"You should have some trust. After all, you don't want to be invited for tea again." Tia knew that in the eyes of these businessmen, the money was like the flesh on the palm and back of the hand. It was reasonable to let them cut off some flesh and give them some time to think about it.

Fortunately, this place is large, but the commercial street is only in the main urban area. Apart from fields and slaves, there are only a few shops and warehouses, which makes the accounts easier to check, and there are no complicated things that need to be investigated in depth.

If it were a prosperous city, it would take a while to settle the bill.

Everything went smoothly afterwards. Over the next three days, everyone's accounts were thoroughly investigated and cleared. One person who cheated was thrown in jail, and the others had to pay compensation.

Looking at the income coming in one by one, Tia became much happier, and she could finally do something big and decisive.

The activities over there are going smoothly, and the people here are oppressed by the collusion between officials and businessmen. How can they not take the free copper coins?

If you fail the first time, run to the roadside, get two small branches, and ask someone close to you who has already passed the test to teach you. Once they teach you, try again.

We have collected a lot of land and treasures here. We have land, people, and infrastructure. Everything is ready!

Tia was leaning back in her chair, thinking about further planning, when Ramon rushed in.

"My Lord, how could you really lock him up in jail!"

"From your tone, it seems like you are here to question me?" Tia's thoughts were interrupted and her face turned unhappy.

"Don't dare."

"So what are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to give the lord a suggestion. That man shouldn't be imprisoned."

"I told them what the consequences would be if they sent the fake account book for the first time. He also sent out the letter twice himself. I gave him three chances in total. I think I was lenient enough.

He hasn't even finished speaking yet, but you've already come running to me. Do you think your words carry more weight here than his, or do you think you can make me break my promise with just one word?"

Although Ramon thought that the person was locked up by you and had no ability to talk to you, he knew that there was no room for maneuver after hearing the following words.

"I overstepped my bounds."

"It's good that you understand it clearly, but I don't think you understand your own position. I will dismiss you from your position in the Lord's Mansion."

Tia didn't want to leave by herself, as she had to worry about this person causing trouble. It would be more comfortable to kick him out.

"My Lord, I have managed this territory for many years and although I have made no contributions, I have..."

Tia looked over with a cold face, "How can you say you have no contribution? You have made such a large group of termites so fat."

"This..." Ramon didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't worry, once their accounts are settled, it's time to settle the Lord's account. We've been settling it all morning, so we should have results this afternoon."

Tia became interested when she talked about this. She put down the paper in her hand and picked up the teacup next to her.

"If you don't want to leave now, you can wait until this afternoon. I won't have to send someone to invite you over in the afternoon."

"My Lord." Ramon was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

Before he became the lord here, his family's wealth had already been squandered. The reason he can still maintain the dignity of a noble is all due to what he gained during these years as the lord. If the truth is really discovered, his family will soon be penniless.
