Lawrence's deal aroused the blacksmith's curiosity.

The blacksmith asked, "Lawrence, you have a lot of bread at home?" ”

"No, there isn't." Lawrence explains: "Doug gave me a bag of wheat and this is bread made from that. ”

"Now I have two days of bread left, I hope Doug and they will come back soon."

Lawrence placed the rest of the bread on the ground at the blacksmith's house, "This is your share, the reward for helping me make ironware, the basket will not be given, I will take it back." ”

The blacksmith looked at the bread that Lawrence had taken out, and naturally accepted it and said, "Okay, I've been trying to continue working lately, but I'm short of ore and carbon. ”

Lawrence said, "No problem, I'll send charcoal and ore." ”

The blacksmith asked, "What do you want?" Axe? ”

Lawrence had already had a plan, "a hammer, a big piece of iron for sharpening knives, a chisel for processing stones, an iron guy for mining stones, and preferably a shovel for digging the earth." ”

The blacksmith gave a reluctant look, "Too much. ”

Lawrence quickly haggled with the blacksmith and eventually traded Andrew's wine and some meat for some of the iron.

Andrew has some good wines, the exact location of which is known only to Sariel, and even Andrew himself.

Lawrence himself didn't like to drink, and Sariel didn't want to get drunk alone, so these things naturally became Lawrence's trading capital.

Wine was a good currency in this region, followed by ironware, bread, clothing, and livestock.

A number of slaves in the town of Phumesius were killed, and all of them were used by the dead old man of Vip to sacrifice to the heavens for divination, and finally Lawrence hired twelve slaves.

Nine women, three men.

Men are also weak men between the ages of twenty and thirty, no matter how old they are, they are not suitable for work, and no matter how young they are, they are disobedient.

Obedient women, especially girls, are more likely to stay, and the rest are killed first, so as not to run away or hurt the children.

Not every family had slaves, and some Bhumithes eliminated slaves early in order to save food.

At present, slavery in this area is not widespread, and most people are not even qualified to be slaves, and it is easy to be sacrificed to heaven.

Lawrence took his slaves up to work in the mountains, this time using food and some daily necessities in exchange for twenty days of labor.

It's temporary, Lawrence has long calculated that his own food and fuel can't support too many people, at least not this year.

Through employment, at least the Búmitheans were made aware that slaves were assets, productive forces, and cattle and sheep that could bring benefits.

So that these barbarians would not easily kill slaves.

Among these slaves were Lawrence's former slaves.

Lawrence walked over to Hagrid while he was on the mountain.

Twenty-seven-year-old Hagrid, a country woman from the Southern Kingdom, was bought by Andrew from the city of Tranda Hoof last year.

The one who ran was a young village girl who was less than twenty years old, and most of them were dead.

Lawrence asked, "How are you two doing?" ”

Now there are only two left, one is Hagrid, and the other is Daisy, who is dead.

Daisy sold herself into slavery and had a child before, but she just died a while ago.

Hagrid quickly said, "Merciful Mr. Lawrence, we're not doing well. ”

Daisy, who also lived in torture and pain every day, said to Lawrence, "Lord Lawrence, can you exchange us back?" ”

Lawrence said casually: "No, it's too troublesome, I had VIP here when I exchanged with you, and the slave I exchanged was still a coward slave like Seravon." ”

"Freessen loves you, and I hate you too."

Sariel next to her was silent, she didn't like these two women either, but she wouldn't fall into the trap to torture and abuse them.

Hagrid and Daisy's future fate is sealed, and they are not wrong, but there is something wrong with this dark age.

Lawrence didn't want to humiliate them, and quickly arranged jobs for everyone.

EDI is clearly unfit to command these slaves, and everyone knows that EDI is the woman of the coward Seravan.

The shepherdess were not suitable, and did not have the courage to deter these slaves.

Lawrence asked Reglo to supervise the women in collecting firewood and berries, and processing fibrous materials such as sisal to make ropes.

Carrying water, feeding pigs, herding sheep, and processing wool are all things that these women can do.

The older ones do the heavy work, and the youngest eight- and nine-year-old girls go to the fire and herd the sheep.

The men dug wells under the supervision of Seravon.

Lawrence did not forget the threat of the baron and the beast, and continued to practice his archery skills in the opposite forest, using a bow and arrow to fight crows and squirrel pheasants in the forest.

Occasionally, he would come back to inspect the slaves to see if they were working, and to make corrections and reminders of many things.

The new slaves had two meals a day.

Breakfast at ten o'clock consisted of a small crow stew, wild vegetables that the slave girls had gathered outside the manor, and a wild apple.

Dinner at 5 p.m. was a small crow barbecue, pumixiu fish soup (chopped and boiled fish), and blackberry fruit and vegetable cake.

What you eat for breakfast and lunch depends on Lauren's hunting results.

If they can't catch their prey, they eat wild fish raised in the river.

After a few more days, the well was dug to a depth of thirteen meters.

At this time, the water has begun to seep, but the depth is not enough, and the well water that is too shallow is easy to freeze.

Well water is not the same as a house, it takes many years, and the population will continue to grow, so naturally the deeper the better.

Many shallow wells are dried up just as they are used, and it will be a lot of trouble to dig them when the time comes.

Seravan led people to the bottom of the mountain to collect sand and gravel to make the walls of the well, while Lawrence led people to burn charcoal and polish stones.

"Mr. Lawrence!"

Emma took the child up the hill and shouted happily, "I'm here to help!" ”

Emma's slave was killed by her husband, and in order to save his own food, he came to help, and ate two meals by the way.

The slaves were given two meals, and Lawrence, Seravon, and Legro were all three.

Emma walked into the manor with the little children and said happily, "Mr. Lawrence, the blacksmith asked me to give you this shovel." ”

Lawrence took the shovel, "Okay, I was about to go to the blacksmith to ask about the ironwork, but it hasn't been delivered for days, and I suspect he's drunk and won't work." ”

Emma smiled and said, "Almost, I saw a rabbit when I came up today, but I didn't catch it, it's a pity." ”

Lawrence said: "There are indeed more animals in the summer, I caught a lone wild boar yesterday, and I left some pork in the morning, you can go and eat it." ”

Emma nodded happily, "Then I'll go to dinner!" ”

"That's right!" Emma thought of something and reminded, "Mr. Lawrence, I passed by the house on my way over, where the peas are ready to be picked. ”

Lawrence thought about it carefully, and it had been more than half a year, maybe seven months, since last fall.

"That's great, there's peas to eat."

Lawrence smiled, "Garlic can be eaten this month, turnips and lettuce can be harvested next month, and then pumpkin and potatoes." ”

Sophia followed Lawrence and reminded, "Master, the chicks are coming out soon." ”

Lawrence smiled, "yes, the chicks in the eggs are coming out soon, and we're going to have more chicken eggs next year." ”

Lawrence's life is getting better and better.
