194 Spring goes
Lawrence was injured, with very serious external and internal injuries.
Beaten by Delen.
It took three days for the bruise on his face to go down, and the pain in his arm was estimated to take half a month to disappear.
Lawrence understands why many animals are scared away by people, and why the Cave People are so timid and fearful.
Injuries in a fight can really lead to an early death!
After the injury, Lawrence also looked away.
"It is also troublesome to have a child so early, and the earlier a child was born in ancient times, the more prominent the contradiction became."
If you really can't do it, just find a few beautiful women to have children, and you can't have children with witches, and it's not that you can't have children with ordinary women.
Besides, there is no need to be in such a hurry about having a child, I am just infertile, and I am not indifferent.
It's okay to be cool, the child can be adopted, and if you can't raise it well, you can change it, but your own son can't be replaced.
Especially for witches, if you have children, if you don't inherit your mother's wizarding talent, you will face a cruel choice, so not having children is actually a choice.
As for the question of a hundred years from now, there is no need to worry about it, who cares about seventy or eighty years from now?
Lawrence is more concerned about small things such as eating, bathing, and going to the toilet than children's things.
Inside the wooden house
Sariel looked at the numbers and reports on the board seriously, with a look of wisdom on her face.
Lawrence was also looking at the report, but when he saw that Saril cared about these matters, he handed it over to her.
Sarri doesn't like to fight, and she doesn't feel comfortable with murder, robbery, and fighting, but likes to pay attention to trivial things.
For example, the amount of food and supplies, how many people are in the family, how many pots, how many clothes, how many pigs, sheep, chickens and dogs.
Bull said: "Today there is another family who wants to become the slave of your master, and we told you what you need to do to become a slave of your master, and they all agreed. ”
Sariel is calculating what will be the best deal to plant in the fields that have been cultivated today, so that they will mature before the fall.
Hearing Bull's words, Sariel also said casually: "Lawrence asked everyone to pay taxes with a basket of potatoes, a sheepskin is enough, these are not heavy, why can't they afford to eat?" ”
Bull smiled: "It's not that they can't afford to eat, now the Bhumixiu people in the town can eat enough and make some cheese and butter to eat." ”
Sophia licked her mouth, "I want cheese too." ”
Sariel continued to count things, "Bear with me, wait until next spring to eat as you like, and if you want to eat now, let Lawrence use the fruit to go down the mountain for a few catties of cheese." ”
Delenn also wanted to eat cheese and asked Sariel, "We don't have enough sheep now?" I think we have a lot of sheep. ”
Sariel is very aware of this.
"We now have twenty-three domes, fifty-eight common goats and sheep, three rams, sixteen steers, eight lambs in need of milk, twelve goats that produce milk, and the rest are ewes of three to eight months."
"If these twelve goats are pregnant, there will be no milk."
Lawrence asked, "How much milk does twelve goats have a day?" ”
The shepherdess who was on duty today replied, "Two barrels a day." ”
One bucket is about 12 catties, and two buckets are 24 catties, which is equivalent to an average of two catties of milk after each sheep is fed to the lamb every day.
The Lawrence family only uses three catties of goat's milk a day, and the rest is basically used to take care of the children.
There were more and more babies on the estate, there was no contraception in this era, there were not many entertainment facilities, and most women had one child a year.
As long as there is enough food, the children will grow out of the ground and keep popping up.
Most of the women have just come down from the mountain, and they are not nutritious and do not have much milk, so it is difficult for the children to survive without goat's milk.
There are also puppies in the dog team who also need goat's milk, and it is a bit less to rely on the big dogs, and the stronger the puppies grow up when they are young, the higher the chance of survival.
Lawrence said: "It's almost there, and after a while there are more goats, you can make cheese." ”
Sariel looked at Lawrence, "Lawrence, you haven't trained with Deren in three days. ”
Lawrence said with an unchanging face: "There are more and more important things waiting for me, you should understand that when there are many people, a prophet must keep a cool head, and not let anger lose his mind and do reckless and stupid things." ”
"You're right." Salil lowered her head and continued to settle the score, muttering, "But it doesn't feel like that." ”
Lawrence turned a deaf ear to Sariel's muttering, looked at Sophia and said, "Sophia, how is your bow and arrow practice?" ”
Sophia smiled embarrassedly, "I'll be tired after a while, I want to eat more meat and have more strength!" ”
Delen comforted, "It's okay, if you don't have a lot of strength, it proves that your witchcraft will be very powerful!" ”
Sariel frowned, but didn't retort.
Sophia is a young relationship, Lawrence doesn't know if it's a wizard at the moment, only Sariel is not young, but she never uses witchcraft.
Comparing the witchcraft of Bidren and Keharan, Sariel is a bit of a shame as a witch.
Fortunately, Lawrence is not a wizard, which makes Sariel feel a lot better.
Lawrence said to Delenn, "Delenn, strengthen the bathroom today, and hopefully you can use it tomorrow." ”
Deren replied: "Just wait for the people outside to put the wall in order." ”
Lawrence went out to check on the progress of the work.
At the back of the hut, Emma is leading the women to build the wall, filling the last gaps with mud and carefully selected stones.
Emma came over and said, "Master, there aren't too many people here, and there are still a lot of people who don't have anything to do. ”
Lawrence looked into the forest in the distance, there were more and more open spaces on the edge of the lumberyard, and in many places there were still a large number of wooden stakes that had not had time to be cleared.
"Let the female workers build a new kitchen on the newly opened land of the lumberyard, which will be easier to eat, go to the toilet and work in the future, and make the new kitchen look like a tavern, which is longer and can accommodate 100 people to eat."
"Remodel the kitchen shed near our manor and make a dog house for Doug."
Lawrence noticed that Doug was always yelling and yelling, and that the communal kitchen was close to the river beach and across the river from the camp, and needed a watchdog to warn him.
Doug is the gatekeeper of the manor, and the camp will have a guard dog to prevent the beast from approaching after a while, but there is no hurry for the time being.
Lawrence stood in the sunlight and looked at his large house.
"I'm going to change it next year, the first year is a stone house, the second year is a wooden house, and the third year is ...... Or wooden houses. ”
Lawrence didn't have time to build a new castle this year, or he wouldn't have built a bathroom.
It won't start until at least next year, and it will certainly be years before a castle is repaired.
If it is slower, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years.
"We can start building a spare house this fall, and start arranging the surplus labor to build the castle after the spring ploughing is over next year."
"But the forest will also need to be cleared for several years, and next year there will be a few children who will come of age, so let's find a way to feed these children."
Although there are many plans in the head, such as brewing wine, making paper, making soy sauce and vinegar, processing fine salt, building castles, making musical instruments, water-powered mills, blacksmith shops, etc.
However, it is now necessary to make a trade-off, go all out to open up the wasteland, reclaim farmland and plant crops, and solve this year's food problem is the fundamental.
The crops planted now can be harvested in summer and autumn, beans and vegetables planted in summer can be harvested in autumn, and half of the crops planted in autumn and winter can also be used as forage to solve the problem of feed for cattle and sheep.
In this era, both people and dogs and sheep die from various diseases.
Lawrence walked to the periphery of the manor, where a cold corpse was buried in the ground that had only survived for a few days before leaving this world.
In an era when there are not enough medical conditions, it is the greatest care to let everyone eat well.
Now the men and women on the estate can eat potatoes and peas every day, fish for three days, or a bowl of bone broth with the smell of pork.
Most people eat two meals, and the food crisis will not improve until the first crops are ripe.
"Take out a basket of wheat every week and make some bread, even if it's gray bread, and by the time the autumn comes, everyone will have bread every day!"
The main goal of the first two years was to improve his own quality of life, and this year Lawrence has begun to improve the quality of life of his subordinates as well as improving his own quality of life.
The temperature in the mountains has warmed up and will get hotter and hotter in the future, so it's a good time to shear sheep.
The sheared wool will be made into new clothes to wear in winter.
At this time, the men on the other side of the lumber yard basically only wore a piece of cloth around their waists, because cutting wood is manual work, and it is easy to sweat.
There are also people who work without shoes, regardless of gender, age or age.
Even some women are used to working in only a linen vest and don't care about their bodies being seen by others.
Lawrence soon returned to the house, for he had long since accepted his savage blood, and Lawrence had long since seen these things.
Upon returning to the house, they find Sariel and Sofia Deren stealing oranges.
Lawrence glanced at the three witches and went up to the second-floor bedroom alone, and sure enough, Kharan was taking a nap.
The three people downstairs would always take advantage of Kehalan's absence to eat some fruit made in Kehalan, after all, there are only so many good things to eat in this area, there is no other choice.
Lawrence gently descended downstairs and went out to find Emma, who was chatting with Bull outside the door.
"Emma, I remember that there are some sweet apples that can be eaten in Dumu Village, you take someone to collect some and come back, I can take about ten catties, and you can keep the rest for yourself."
Emma was a little puzzled, there were more and better sweet fruits in Mount Talim.
But after all, it was Lawrence's arrangement, and Emma agreed, "Yes, master." ”
Lawrence reminded: "Ride the sheep, I'm not in a hurry, you be careful, let Brick bring the two dogs over, she is familiar with the environment in Ferry Village." ”
"Yes!" Emma quickly went down to prepare.
In the window-side room on the second floor, Kehalan lay on his side, apparently hearing Lawrence's words.
Not only does she have a smart nose, but her eyes and ears are just as good, her eyes can see farther than normal people, and her ears can hear nearby sounds when she listens quietly.
