After the departure of the legion, Lawrence continued the peaceful construction.

A prototype of the hydro-powered mill has been built, and houses are currently being built to house the new equipment.

The hydraulic mill requires a lot of parts, and most of the wood and metal are easy to wear, so it must be placed in the house.

Not only for a dedicated house, but also in a place where water resources are more abundant.

At the same time, you should stay a little further away from the side of the main house to prevent the constant sound from disturbing the nap.

While Lawrence was building the house with the workers, Sophia came running with a lamb in her hand.

"Look, master, my lamb will jump now!"

Sophia tied the lamb around the neck with a rope and pulled the lamb across the bridge.

The lamb is now very close to Sophia because it has been feeding Sophia since it was born, and is often led by Sophia to run around the sunny hillside.

Lawrence doesn't quite understand Sophia's critter affinity, or maybe the rest of the people are busy with other things and don't have time to take care of the lamb, which causes the lamb to always follow Sophia.

"Hmm." Lawrence continued to work, not wanting Sophia to cause trouble here, so he proposed, "Go inside the house and see if the eggs hatch." ”

Sophia immediately said: "I saw it just now, not yet, but I put it in the sun and looked at it, and there are chickens moving in it!" It's definitely coming out! ”

Lawrence said: "Now that the weather is about the same, and the hens in the coop are hatching, you go to Sarryle and see if you can help." ”

"Good!" Sophia led the lamb and quickly ran back again.

She ran faster than the lamb, which bleated behind her, chasing Sophia's footsteps.

Lawrence continued to build the house, and the water-powered mill used a lot of wood and metal, and currently only one stone mill could be rotated.

It is equivalent to adding an engine under the stone mill, and when it is usually used, the direction of the sink is changed through the mechanism inside the wooden house, and the engine is started and turned off as a switch.

The stone mill above is clamped with wood, and a feed port is set up, relying on the primitive vibration to shake the poured wheat into it one after another, which can save a lot of manpower.

While a traditional stone mill requires not only one person to push and grind, but also one person to add and clean, the improved hydraulic mill simply pours a bag of wheat into it and sits outside and chats until it is over.

It's just that it's more troublesome to repair, and this kind of initial thing is very easy to break.

When Lawrence spent another two or three days building a long-busy hydraulic mill, Leglow returned with his men.

Lawrence asked, "Why did it take so long?" ”

Reglo grabbed the three men, and after making them kneel on the ground, he said: "The road over there in the village of Kur is not easy to walk, we went up the hill and caught them in the cod village of the Wakiri tribe. ”

"But I beat them several times, and they all said they didn't know anything about the Count."

Reglo didn't ask for useful information.

Lawrence looked at the three men on the ground, even though they were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and their hands tied, their eyes still had unyielding anger and hatred in their eyes.

"How many Wakiri do you have there now?"

Hearing Lawrence's inquiry, the man angrily scolded, "Despicable mountain man! Our people will come and kill you all!! Let yourselves hear the sound of your bones being broken! ”

Lawrence said: "I don't want to kill people, if you think the mountain people are despicable, I have nothing to say to you, after all, you Vakiri people have done so many things to rob and kill, and it is ...... to be robbed"

"Our warriors will kill you all!" The man interrupted Lawrence loudly, struggling to get up, and still roared angrily after being suppressed by someone nearby: "You mountain people, I killed you like pinching a chicken to death!" ”

Lawrence looked at Reglo, "Reglo, you won him by sneak attack, and will you catch him normally?" ”

Reglo replied, "A few of us went up together, and in two or three strokes we knocked him down." ”

The man shouted angrily at Lawrence: "You have the ability to duel with me!" I will launch a duel against you! Mountain people! Fight me like a man! ”

Since ancient times, it is the Vakiri people who fight the mountain people and suppress the mountain people.

Because of the complex terrain in the mountains and the fact that there was nothing to plunder, the Vakiri had no interest in the mountains.

But if you encounter it, you will kill and rob it.

It is normal to catch women in the mountains to give birth to children, or to rob grain and animal skins.

No one will do justice for a group of mountain people, and the world of barbarians can only be reasoned with fists.

Lawrence doesn't want to be reasonable, there's no other reason to talk about here.

It was mainly the attitude of these Wakiri towards the mountain people that made Lawrence realize that the Wakiri people were destined to not integrate smoothly into his side.

This kind of prejudice and arrogance in the bones can only be known when it hurts.

The Wakiri, who are accustomed to robbery, both men and women, are like reproductive isolation, and it is extremely difficult to reach an understanding with this side.

Moreover, the Vakiri people generally do not farm the land, and they are prone to plundering and killing.

If even ordinary Vakhiris are so difficult to communicate with, then bringing in too many Wakiri will only do you a disservice.

"Put them in cages and sell them to the Durellians when the Western Durellians come over."

After hearing Lawrence's words, the three men became even angrier.

"You mountain man! Your hands and feet will be eaten by wild beasts! Your soul will never rest in peace, lowly wild seed!! ”

Lawrence didn't expect that the fighting skills of this group of Vakiri people were as savage as the kung fu in hand.

I couldn't bear to be scolded, Lawrence said calmly: "Emasculated the three of them!" Let them not go to heaven! ”

If you dare to insult the Prophet, you must be punished severely!

Castration was already being done by Durella, and Lawrence entrusted the daunting task to the reluctant craftsman.

Under the sacred mission and sense of responsibility, the veterinarian can only pick up the knife and boil water to sharpen the knife to prepare.

And the three Wakiri, who were gradually told what punishment they were about to face, gradually collapsed.

In the next few days, the people in the manor were discussing this matter, but the triumphant return of Luoshanda and the others did not cause much discussion.

The three Wakiri people all died quickly, the veterinarian's skills were not up to par, and the three Wakiri people did not have a strong will to survive, so they could not hold on in extreme pain after two days.

Lawrence lost the mind to annex Vakiri.

Now there is not enough population, and the land that is beaten down will not be used, but will cause the rest of the trouble.

If you are not sure to absorb the Vakiri, then it is better not to let these robbers come near the village.

Compared to the Vakiri, the defeated foresters are better managed.

Lawrence originally thought that the Avengers would wipe out all the wild people there, but he didn't expect that these people were very restrained, leaving behind a large number of slaves who could be used as labor.

For those who entered the age of the manor, slaves were assets.

Especially after following Lawrence for a long time, everyone regarded slaves as a kind of trophies, so they all consciously did not damage these slaves.

Lawrence asked, "Are these people willing to work?" How do you usually work? ”

Loshanda didn't quite know, "They were obedient when they pulled boats and carried things, and they didn't know anything else, they lived by fishing and hunting, and they didn't have their own land." ”

Lawrence found that some people were reluctant to work in the fields because of the Wakiri people.

"That's right, we have so few resources here, and the weather is cold, if we don't work, we'll die."

Lawrence thought of the reason, the climate here in the north is harsh, and the barbarians are just used to looking for more profitable ways to make a fortune, not lazy.

At least most of them are more industrious than the Clauda, and some of the Clauda are very lazy and difficult to call because they can eat casually.

People in poor places are not necessarily diligent.

The people of Durella and the City of Water are poor, but industrious.

The Pumixiu people, on the other hand, encountered a life-and-death crisis, and gradually became accustomed to labor and work in exchange for a better life.

"These people live with the Black Goat tribe, digging the river, widening the river, and seeing if they can break their old habits and make them follow our habits and beliefs."

Losanda said: "Tell your men about this, who are as thin as a tree branch, and who do not even have a full garment on them, and who will be given a piece of bread in exchange for their allegiance." ”

"Okay." Lawrence quickly arranged for someone to deliver a letter to Seravon, and at the same time commended the participants this time.

Foresters are not useful for the time being, but these people are very suitable for mountain and forest warfare, as long as they are equipped with weapons, have a full stomach, become physically strong, and at the same time learn how to use forest conditions to fight, they will become a strong army.

It's still too early, and it will take at least two or three years of training to make a difference.

At this stage, the strongest is still the battle legion formed by the Pumixiu, who are elite men and women, and deserve to be better cared for by Lawrence.

This is followed by barbarian mercenaries.

Frys's gang is not weak in terms of physique or combat experience, at least stronger than Friesen and Reglo!

Sarriel and the others had not tried to compete with Fleiss, and everyone except the witches was no match for this group of barbarian mercenaries.

Then there are the decent Claudian warriors.

Finally, there are all kinds of slaves and peasant fishermen.

Lawrence found that he was still very weak, and he did not dare to fight even a slightly larger battle with the little force in his hand.

"Keep farming and develop slowly."

Lawrence valued population growth and was busy with food production, harvesting a variety of summer crops when summer arrived.

Taking advantage of the rare good weather, various vegetables are dried and dehydrated to make dried vegetables that can be eaten in winter.

While Lawrence was busy harvesting various crops, something big happened in the kingdom of Loven.

Lofen III, assassinated!!
