Salavin waited for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, what am I doing today?" ”

There is basically nothing to do in the manor for a while, and I leave work early every day to rest.

No one else can find something to do, but Lawrence has something to do.

"We went digging a river and digging a pond five meters long, three meters wide, and two meters five deep," Lawrence said. ”

"Let's do this together, so let's do it quickly."

Sariel asked, "What do you do digging pools?" Don't we have wells? ”

Sophia said with a serious little face: "The master must have a reason for doing this, and we should follow the prophet's arrangement!" ”

Saliel muttered, "I'm just asking..."

Lawrence explains why this was done.

"The water in the well has nothing to do with this."

"The water on this side of the river mainly depends on the upstream streams, and in the winter, the upstream streams freeze and freeze, and the water here will gradually flow clean."

"We're now trapped in the river, so they can't go to the deep water for the winter and can't go anywhere else."

"I didn't know exactly what they needed, so I had to build a pond to store water so I could burrow and fish in the winter and feed them."

"The pool can be deeper, the main thing is to look at the time, dig it out as soon as possible before it freezes!"

Lawrence elaborated on why.

Reglo didn't understand.

Mandel Crewe didn't understand either.

Seravin was confused.

Keharan clasped his hands and said, "Just do what the prophet said, just dig a hole." ”

Sariel nodded, her face solemn.

Sophia smiled and said, "I said I would listen to the master!" ”

Lawrence got it!

Next time, you don't have to explain anything, just let them do the work, these people don't really want to know the reason at all.

He is not the leader of the group, nor the leader of the project, but the owner of these people, the owner of the manor in this fantasy world.

"It takes twelve people to dig a pit!"

"I was in charge of the command, five women were in charge of carrying the soil, three of them were digging the pit at the same time, and the rest were in charge of sprinkling water, carrying the soil, and assisting in digging the pit."

"Just pile up the excess soil next to it, and it can be useful for building houses and farming in the future."

Lawrence looked at Reglo and Keharan.

"Go to the tailor after you have eaten."

"The rest of the people took a half-hour break after eating, and then went with me to dig at the river."

Lawrence went to the river and used his hoe to draw a rough edge on the ground while arranging everyone's work area.

Dig a pit first, and when it is done, you can push away the dirt that is close to the river and lead the river and the fish inside.

There should also be fewer fish in the river, otherwise there will be more deaths in the winter.

After two busy days, winter is here!

The first snow came quickly, and it was sleet.

Lawrence sat on the couch in the living room doing carpentry work, and the bayonets promised to Mandelkru were all done during the break.

The tailor and the shepherdess were busy at the large table in the living room, and the two men, along with EDI and two women of good craft, were working around the table.

Some of the three maids were watching, while others sat down to play cards with Saliel and Keharan.

Sophia prefers to sleep at this time.

The firewood in the fireplace was hot, and the kettle on top of it was hot again and again.

"Does anyone drink water?"

Brielier asked once, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she poured half a bottle of hot water into the jar, and then added some cold water to the kettle and put it on the stove to continue boiling.

Lawrence occasionally looked up to look outside.

Every house had a fire pit for the fire, and they were all stocked with enough wood.

There is no need to worry about heating, and the food reserves are also sufficient, especially when the sow has been pulled up recently, and the pig can be killed for the New Year at a critical moment.

Maybe it's too warm, Kehalan has just been able to wear long pants because of the weather, and he has become accustomed to wearing shorts in the house for the past two days.

"I don't know what's going on down the hill, there's still a lot of wild boar in the warehouse, and I've recently caught rabbits and grouse, so I'll give her some if Emma comes."

Lawrence walked out the window and looked out into the hole, the snow would make the mountain road even harder.

It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing.

If the bad guys come over, it's a lot safer.

Lawrence felt that this was actually good.

This quiet, warm and lively life is exactly what I want to live.

The snow fell heavily in the evening, and it stopped before dawn the next day.

After the first snowfall, the temperature plummeted.

By the time the pit was dug, the stream had long since stopped.

Fortunately, the fish only went to the deep-water river three or four hundred meters away, and did not disappear.

The puddle didn't come in handy this year, but it could be used next year.

What was not done last year can be continued this year.

Lawrence continued to do what he didn't finish last year with the Ice Blast, making changes to the road up the mountain.

The Ice Blasting method is a good blast for rocks on cliffs, or rocks with cracks at the edges.

The blasting method is to light a fire to keep warm during the lunch break, and after the work is done, a basin of water is used to blast the stones that are in the way below.

After the weather cleared a little, Kenny came up from the bottom of the mountain.

There is three or four centimeters of snow everywhere near the mountain, and although it is not deep, it will slip when you step on it, and if you are not careful, you will fall to the ground.

Kenny was wrapped tightly in his sheepskin robe, with brewed barley wine in his arms.

As he approaches the manor with difficulty, Kenny sees the coachman and farmer busy picking up stones below the cliff.

"Is Mr. Lawrence back?"

The coachman said, "It's been a few days since I came back, and I'm in the mountains." ”

"Okay." Kenny continues to walk up.

The farmer looked at Kenny and said to the coachman as Kenny walked away, "It's too cold here, if only I could go back sooner." ”

The coachman quickly returned to the fire, stretched out his hand to roast the fire, and said, "Yes, it is much colder than in our village, and although I have something to eat every day and warm sheepskin clothes to wear, I still want to go back." ”

After less work in the winter, the people in the manor were quiet.

Even if I have some work arranged every day, I have more time to rest because the intensity of work has decreased a lot.

Lawrence didn't notice the change, and there were things that he couldn't finish every day, but he wasn't so nervous.

"Mandelkre, how is this arm knife?"

Lawrence did one more thing, strapping an arm that held the knife in place to Mandelkre's arm.

A sharp knife was fixed at one end of the arm, and a smaller pigskin glove was added to the wooden barrel, and a leather belt was used to secure the glove and the arm.

Mandelkru waved his hand happily and tried the blade against the plank again.

"Excellent! Thank you, Mr. Lawrence, for trying to catch a rabbit! If only there were slaves to try! ”

Mandelkru was overjoyed and spoke his mind.

Lawrence admonished: "All the slaves on the manor are my private property, forbidden, you are forbidden to destroy my things, if I know that you have done something stupid, then I will definitely make you regret it!" ”

Mandel Crewe calmed down and readily agreed, "Yes, Mr. Lawrence." ”

Lawrence said: "You take it home and put it away, don't usually carry it all the time, use it again when you fight, it will be easy to break if you keep holding it, I don't have time to make another one for you." ”

Mandelcrwe knew the preciousness of the item, and after playing with it for a while, he followed Lawrence's advice and put the Arm Knife in the chest.

Kenny's ale was brewed, because only a small amount of food was given, and Kenny's ale was only a small barrel, about five liters, equivalent to two large bottles of Coke.

Lawrence put the ale in the warehouse and waited for the eternal night to drink it, and thought about the food.

"There is not much food in the kingdom of Luofen, in the past, I used to eat potatoes and make bread from the barley and wheat that I saved, but now that there are not enough potatoes to eat, I must eat grain."

"In the past, jewelry and leather were exchanged for food, but now there is a falling out with the Suman Islands, and the Southern Union itself is causing a famine, and there should be enough food for bread, but not enough for drinking."

The barbarians don't drink, but they want to make trouble.

The aborigines of the kingdom of Luffin fought a chaotic and disobedient discipline.

If you don't have a lot of alcohol, you're sure to make trouble in the winter.

It's also impractical to drive them to death, these people are a little reckless, not brainless.

Once the proceeds of the robbery are worth the risk investment, many people will not risk their lives to go to sea.

Lawrence believes that this problem will take at least one or two hundred years to digest, and that it is a historical process of getting rid of barbarism and learning to obey the rules.

In the future, the north will still be the north, and the ruler of Pig's Trotter City may be the border counts, and the royal family headed by Rofen III is the southern nobles.

Or the northern border of the Kingdom of Rofen, the middle of the Kingdom of Luofen, and the south of the Kingdom of Luofen.

Wheat is grown in the south, potatoes are grown in the middle, and fishing and hunting are carried out in the north.

The food crisis will definitely be resolved, and after those who can't afford to eat starve to death, next year's food will be enough.

The outside world changes every day, over and over again.

Lawrence and the people of the manor lived a quiet and idle life, digging a ditch every day, collecting firewood, laying hay in the fish pond and wheat field, sitting in a wooden house or in bed, playing cards and chess, learning basic foreign languages and arithmetic, and chattering day after day.

Of course, there were subtle episodes, such as the missionary and the widow of the same village getting into trouble in the sleeping place.

Or the fat aunt of the village who went to help in the house at the bottom of the mountain, tempted the thin little boys of thirteen or fourteen years old under the mountain with bread and sausages.

Doug has not yet returned, and the women and children in Phumesius are running out of food, and the women and children will have to go into the mountains in winter to find something to eat.

Soon, the two fat aunts, who were often hugged by thin children, also became pregnant, and in the end, only the seamstress was left unpregnant.

Lawrence was helpless and went to ask the seamstress about her wishes.

The seamstress decisively chose between a thirty-year-old farmer and a forty-year-old coachman.

When they got married, they moved into a new wooden house.

It didn't take long for the coachman to live in a wooden house with two pregnant village girls, one was a fat aunt who could work, and the other was a woman from the same village who had been chatting before.

The relationship between the people below is getting more and more chaotic, and Lawrence doesn't want the relationship to be more and more chaotic in the future, so he enacts a strict manor law.

Article 1 of the Manor Law: Slaves and serfs are forbidden to be driven by the flesh and evil thoughts to do unchaste things without the permission of the owner of the estate.

After a few more days, Emma and several women from the same village walked up the mountain in the snow, and it took half a day to reach the manor.

"Lawrence, Doug they haven't come back yet, and we can't survive the eternal night with what we have left!"

Emma and the women of the village looked at Lawrence with pleading faces, and briefly explained their predicament.
