One person's power is limited, and Lawrence knows that surrender is not a one-man thing.

As he bid farewell to Baron Stedel, Lawrence explained the state of affairs in the West to Steele and the knightly nobles.

"The West is a fertile land, full of cattle and sheep, rivers of milk and honey, not only our Star Church, but also the Wakiri people who went there early to occupy the land and plunder the treasures there."

"I know some Western merchants who are willing to exchange grain, cattle and gold and silver for our wood and stone, so this part can't be beaten, but there are more places out there for us to conquer!"

"If you don't want to continue to grow old peacefully, then since you joined the Star Church, you will be our own people, and I can take you to the West to make a fortune."

"I need bigger ships, ships that can hold more treasure, but big ships have the Vakiri, and they won't share in the wealth."

Baron Rodney quickly said, "I know a shipwright who can make ships, and I can ask him to come and help build ships, but there is no sea here. ”

Lawrence explained: "Yes, we have the sea here, and in the north I have a village of two hundred people, and there is a safe beach, and there are a large number of slaves there to build houses and boats for me. ”

"If you can bring in a shipwright, then we can build bigger ships faster!"

Steeler asked very concernedly, "When are you leaving?" ”

"Ten days later." Lawrence looked at the barbarian knights who had been activated to raid their instincts, "I will finish harvesting this year's wheat before maintaining the ships, and if you are willing to come, I can wait until autumn, which happens to be the harvest season of God's grace in the West." ”

Steele said calmly, "I'll go back and think about it." ”

Lawrence said calmly, "Well, if you don't come back within a month, my men will set off and will not wait for you any longer." ”

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Prophet." Steel's impression of Lawrence was very good, and he soon took people back with the old earl's corpse.

Lawrence also went back to arrange the affairs of the territory.

"Salavon, arrange for someone to reclaim the land outside the town."

"Yes, master."

Seravin quickly arranged for people to do things, and now there are three more villages in the territory, all of whom are members of Fryth and others, adding up to more than two hundred people.

If you want to gather twenty middle-aged people to go out and plunder, you must have more than a hundred people to support the soil, and the more soldiers, the more farmers you need.

Sophia asked, "Master, there are still many places in the village and on the mountains where farmland can be cultivated, why do you go outside the village first?" ”

Lawrence explains: "Digging out the fields helped to expand the defenses, and sometimes the villagers who went out to work in the fields discovered the enemy themselves. ”

"If we set up a special patrol team, it will delay our production, and it is not suitable to do this at present, and we will talk about it after a while."

Sophia nodded, "I see." ”

Lawrence felt that the land on the hill was no longer suitable for overdevelopment, and at least some of the land should be allowed to be repaired, so that the land could be developed more efficiently.

At present, there is no shortage of grain, and a large amount of grain can be imported from outside, but pasture and fodder are very scarce.

It is more cost-effective to set aside a portion of the field, or to dedicate a portion of the wasteland to forage, than to use it entirely for wheat cultivation.

Lawrence returned to town to plan for future land development.

In order to better defend against threats from the south, the land and wasteland are moving closer to the south.

However, it is still necessary to follow the objective law, and these lands need to be developed along the river.

Land where no river flows, or land that is too far away from the river, like some plains and wheat waves in the south, can only grow poor crops that do not require much water.

Lawrence found that his land was a very poor land, not only could not support the huge population, but the transportation was also very inconvenient.

New York, Tokyo and other big cities in my impression have the advantage of rivers.

New York is a naturally big port, surrounded by land, with a large basin in the middle, and ships can escape the wind and waves when they go in, and Wall Street is the least windy place in this big port, and everyone is willing to park their boats there.

A group of captains and sailors gathered there, and then gradually there were institutions such as second-hand dealers and loan sharks, and slowly the concept of finance was born.

Ports are important, but Lawrence doesn't have that kind of conditions.

Whether there is a port or not on the Wakiri side, it is not suitable for development from the climate, and no one is idle and often runs to the sea of ice.

The more Lawrence tried to plan his territory, the more he found that his territory was waste, a garbage place.

This is something that has been known for a long time, and Lawrence can only comfort himself and find a little good in it.

This place is not remembered, and most people have no interest in this land except for the barbarians.

Even the barbarians don't want it, and the land has been forcing most people to flee here.

But at present, I am far better here than outside.

Unless you go out to rebuild, your life outside may not be better than your own.

After thinking about it like this, it became much more comfortable, and Lawrence began to lead the group in harvesting wheat.

As Lawrence led the crowd to cut the wheat with a sickle, a flotilla of a dozen ships bypassed the kelp and seagrass.

The warriors from Vakiri carefully avoided the Devil's Land.

A large amount of algae, like a witch's hair, constantly swims in the sea, like the tentacles of an octopus, absorbing dead fish into the leaves.

Baron Vakiri's Crete was very afraid of these things, "Farther away! ”

The nearby sailors quickly shouted: "Go further into the sea, and you will reach the hunting grounds of the big fish!" ”

When Crete saw the white seabirds entangled in algae, he felt even more gloomy and became more and more agitated.

"Damn! Fast! Hurry up and get out of this place! ”

Ever since the Berserker Tilg was killed by Golem, the Vakiri have had an almost fearful fear of the place.

In particular, in recent months, a large number of dead fish have been washed ashore by the sea, causing the stench of dead fish to fill the vicinity of the icy sea, and the schools of fish that used to live near the Wakiri people have fled to other places.

Fortunately, Crete has found a way to the Western Kingdom, and although this road will pass through the dangerous territory of the Ravenfeather Wizard, there is no other way for the Vakiri!

The brave Vakhiris will not sit still, and inspired by the cold winter and wildness, this group of brave Vakyri people is very bold enough to bypass the wizard territory and quickly row to the Western Kingdom!

"Oh woo!!"

When the brave Vakiri moved away from the wizard's territory behind them and looked back at the rowing boats on the shore, they couldn't help but let out a cheer!!
