While Lawrence pondered how to solve the problem with the Wakiri, a procession of more than a dozen ships passed by the sea.

The Durela, who were drying kelp on the beach, did not flee immediately, but watched curiously as the fishing boats approached.

The people on the shore quickly converged, and the leading ship of the sea rowed faster.

"It's Friesen, he's not dead yet!"

Both the Durella women and the Bomithean women hate this fat man.

"I wish he had sunk to the bottom of the ocean sooner."

Despite everyone's expectations, this time Friesen brought back a great harvest.

When they went out, there were ten barbarians, plus twenty people including Friesen, a total of three boats.

When he returned, only two people died, and in addition to the original three ice sea boats, he also brought back ten fishing boats between two and five meters.

Lawrence soon came down to meet the navigators.

Fryce said with some regret: "Prophet, we didn't bring back cattle and sheep this time, only found people. ”

Lawrence looked at the more than 100 men and women on the beach, not like the Durella, there were many people with red hair and brown hair.

The barbarians are close to the Western Kingdoms, and they belong to the remnants of the Agama Mountains, with slightly lighter skin color, hairy faces, mostly blue-gray eyes, and although there are many kinds of hair colors, they are mainly brown and brown.

The Southern Kingdom is Sophia, the blonde type with a lot of delicate skin.

The Suman Islands of the East are dominated by white skin and black hair, and the hairstyle is mostly curly.

Because of the relationship between the feudal system, the Western kingdoms have a strict sense of alienation from each other, coupled with the different perceptions of appearance and habits, they don't treat each other as human beings.

Lawrence asked, "Who are these people?" ”

The Durella guide quickly said: "It's from the city of water, it rains a lot, there is nothing but umbrellas and fishing boats, and we have not found cattle or sheep in two villages. ”

Lawrence was very speechless and said, "Then they will farm the land and speak our language here?" ”

"No, it won't." Fryce replied, "I don't understand what they say, there are a few of them who can understand the Durellians." ”

Lawrence nodded, "Let these people fish here in the future, and I will arrange for someone to come and build a house." ”

Because the navigators went to the coastal areas along the rivers, many of the people they brought back were fishermen who made a living from it.

These fishermen are of no use to others, but to Lawrence.

"Fryce, how many people did you arrest here?"

Fryce was thinking about the reward all the way, this time according to Lawrence, following the advice of the Durella guide and the Bomitheus, because Lawrence had said that if he came back, he would be paid.

"We captured a lot, half of them, and we killed more than a dozen soldiers."

Fryce is not good at math, but he remembers the credit for himself and others very well.

Lawrence nodded, "You don't have a ship to transport cattle and sheep at sea, this time the ship and guide are mine, so for every healthy person you bring back, I can only give you the price of twenty jars of wheat." ”

Fryce looked worried, not because the reward was less, but because he couldn't calculate how much the reward was.

Lawrence was well aware of the barbarian's level of arithmetic, and explained: "Three adults are equal to two live sheep, and nine are equal to two adult domes, and you have brought back about fifty people, and I can give you ten domes, and I can give you a cow and fifty baskets of wheat and ten barrels of goat-high ale." ”

"Which one do you choose?"

Fryce quickly said, "I'll choose the cow!" ”

Lawrence looked at the barbarians behind Fryce, "Do you agree with Fryce?" ”

The rest of the barbarians looked at each other, and soon someone said, "A cow is good, but how shall we divide it?" ”

Lawrence said, "How about a goat?" Each of you can take a sheep, a barrel of wine, and ten baskets of wheat, which is enough for your family to eat whole wheat bread for half a year. ”

Soon a savage thought it was good, "Then choose the sheep." ”

Fryce insisted, "I want cows!" Sheep can be grabbed, cattle can't, but it's important! ”

Lawrence was also a late breed of cattle, and there were very few cattle in this area, and the growth rate was very slow.

Lawrence said, "I can understand the importance you attach to cattle, so let's give you sheep and wheat this time, and I will arrange for people to go west after the wheat harvest this summer." ”

"You can rest for a while, and I will send someone to inform you when I need you, or let the merchants who come and go pass to you to pass the news, but you must promise me not to rob the merchants on the road."

"If you can bring back silver coins, books, craftsmen, and healthy men and women this time in the fall, I think you can get more than one cow."

The barbarians quickly came to an agreement and decided to take the sheep first, and then the cattle in the fall.

"We want sheep!"

Lawrence smiled, "In that case, in addition to sheep and wheat, as a reward for obeying my orders, I will give you two additional clothes and a new axe." ”

Ten barbarians quickly knelt down and declared their allegiance to the Prophet, "Thank you, merciful Prophet. ”

Lawrence encouraged: "In the spring we are less prepared, in the fall we will harvest more gifts like wheat, and if there are people in your village who are willing to go with them, then prepare them." ”

"When the wheat in the field is ripe, they go to the land of God."

The ten barbarians all thought the proposal was very good.

The natural occupation of the barbarian is to rob, and the traditional barbarian harvests once a year, and the industrious barbarian crops twice a year.

Lawrence was very talkative, "You have a night's rest, and tomorrow I will bring people to your village to help you build a new house, and you will soon have more sheep and cattle and clothing, and you will need a bigger house." ”

"The craftsmen I have sent to help you build your houses need you to provide food, and in the future, as long as I send them to your village, you will entertain them with bread and clean water, and give them a comfortable place to sleep, and at the same time keep them safe from being bullied by the rest of your village."

Hearing that Lawrence was willing to build a house for everyone, Fryce and the others were even happier.

"Yes! Prophet, I will protect them! It's like protecting my cows! ”

Lawrence quickly sent the barbarians down to rest, rewarded Friesen and others, and then settled the people of the Water City.

Bread and eggs are the most soothing, Lawrence is very good at talking this time, he can eat and live, he can go back after working here for a year, and he can leave after half a year of good performance.

Because whether or not they can hold on for half a year will determine the direction of future development, this is the only way for the Vakiri and the barbarians of the Lofen Kingdom to go west, and Lawrence is a little afraid that those people will directly sack this place.

The mountain was busy with reclamation, and the town of Pumixiu was also busy with construction and defense, so there was no time to mobilize manpower and material resources here in Dumu Village.

Therefore, the village of Dum is a mixture of the people of the Durella and the people of the Water Capital, and there is a role model of the Durella people, and the management is more stable.

In order to reduce the hatred, Lawrence also promised that as long as these people worked here honestly, he would not let the barbarians go to the water capital again, and go somewhere else next time.

"The Wakiri ......" Lawrence was so troubled by these people that he wanted to mobilize the barbarians to bite the Wakiri.

However, the Vakiri people are not easy to fight, and there must be a large number of casualties in the fight.

Lawrence himself could not think of a way to deal with the Wakiri, so he asked the wise men to share their wisdom.

"Mother, what do you think is going to do to defend yourself against the evil intentions of the Vakiri?"

The Vakiri people will definitely gather with the army of the Lorfen Kingdom, and when there are more of them, they will have any bold ideas.

Luoshanda ate the kelp vegetables sent by Lawrence, and said calmly: "I heard that this kind of thing grows on the sea?" ”

Lawrence explains: "Wild kelp grows slowly on floating debris or stones and sand, like ropes floating in water. ”

Loshanda asked, "Don't you need dirt?" ”

Lawrence thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be necessary, as long as there is a fixed rope to connect a lot of kelp together and not float away, these sea vegetables in the sea mainly absorb sunlight, and the floating objects in the sea grow, and the requirements for soil are not high." ”

"There is no problem with the water quality, kelp doesn't like water that is too hot, and the environment here by the sea is just right, and there are a lot of sea vegetables."

Luoshanda did not expect that there was such a plant that did not need soil, and he also roughly understood the production environment of sea vegetables.

"So how about the proposal to have Kehalan ripen them and make Mount Talim on the sea?"

Lawrence was opened to the tune.

"You can try, but I haven't had time to survey the ocean, I don't know how the wind is changing, and if you create Mount Talim in the sea between us and the Vakiri, then it may float to us."

Loshanda pondered this question, "I didn't think of this, the sea is really different from the ground, the mountains on the sea will move. ”

Lawrence quickly came up with a solution, "This is actually not serious, we don't rely much on seafood, but the Vakiri people don't farm much, especially in this season, they are mainly based on food in the sea." ”

"I'm a little worried that we're pushing them into a hurry, and they'll choose to fight us hard instead of surrendering."

Loshanda looked at Lawrence and said, "No, according to your description, I don't think there is a prophet in the Wakiri tribe, so there will be no chance to lead the people to the right place. ”

"When the Vakiri tribe is in trouble, running away and fighting for the position of leader is what most of the Ice Sea Barbarians want to do."
