After the sailing party departed, Lawrence returned to the town of Peumitheus.

"There is nothing to do on the mountain these days, I will stay here in the church, Emma, you go back to the manor to be busy, mainly cooking and weaving, just take care of these two."

Emma said, "Yes, master. ”

Lawrence quickly took people to the church, which had a special place to live for him.

Salil didn't want to live here because she was used to the comfort of life in the mountains and couldn't get used to living here.

"Lawrence, isn't it good to live in the mountains?"

Lawrence has his own plans, as a prophet, he can't always be blessed on the mountain, at least to strengthen his ties with the people here.

In addition to the usual church prayer days, there should be more control and understanding of the place.

Saeravan and Brielle are not civilized people in modern society, their ideas are different, and even if they are managers in modern society, the general manager can't really let go of everything.

In addition to the warriors such as Fleis, the rest of the ordinary people are also the basic plate of this territory.

There are even times when it is necessary to control the behavior of people such as management and deacons, and give more benefits to these ordinary people, so that their territory can continue to develop healthily.

The outside aristocracy could not beat themselves, because they concentrated all their wealth in their own treasury, and preferred to let the peasants plough the land with their hands than to have their stomachs full and take up arms.

It's not that the people of this era are lazy and only willing to sow handfuls of wheat and other harvests, it's that they don't have oxen, no plows, no hoes made of iron, and even the manure for fertilization is controlled by the lords.

Everything is the asset of the lord, and the lord has been starving and poor all the time in order to prevent the peasants from rebelling, and ordinary people cannot survive, so naturally there is no way to increase productivity.

This situation will continue until the end of the invasion frenzy, and only when they are hurt by the barbarians and are afraid of losing their heads, will those lords promote the iron tools.

This is true of both the barbarian aristocracy and the so-called civilized aristocracy of the Western South, who have gathered the wealth of several generations without leaking.

Lawrence had to be wary of this kind of thing, but he was also worried about assassinations and uprisings, so he had to stand with the majority of the people without choosing to weaken the physical fitness and mental will of the underclass.

Familiarity with the underlying situation makes it easier to understand the vulnerabilities and benefits of various programs.

It's like having worked on the farm for many years, so I've always shown good strengths in all aspects.

Lawrence couldn't explain the reason to Sariel, and some things were hard to understand if they didn't happen.

Not everyone has a lot of "inheritance".

"We certainly can't have only one place to stay, in addition to being in the mountains, there should be one in the town of Phumixiu and in the port of Dum."

"This year's Bittersweet Memories is held here, and we stay in church for a few days, and then we go to Emma's house for a few days and have a normal meal on the day of Bittersweet Remembrance."

Saliel's face was depressed when she heard the name Bittersweet Remember, and despite Lawrence's many explanations, Saril was still very resistant to this activity.

Lawrence soon moved into the church with the men, and then called a few stewards to discuss the board.

"You all know the role and structure of the wheels, and now we have more and more things here, and we need more cars, preferably four-wheelers."

"Sled dogs can only be used in the winter, and they are a bit cumbersome to use, making them not suitable for commercial use."

Sariel asked, "What do we want the car for?" ”

Lawrence looked at the rest of the people, "You answer her, what do you want the car to do?" ”

The blacksmith replied, "It can be used to pull ore, and it can also be used to pull iron and charcoal." ”

Sarriel retorted, "Wouldn't it be okay to just let people carry the past?" ”

The blacksmith replied, "We used to think the same thing, but later we found that we needed a lot of ore and charcoal every day, and that it would take a long time for more than a hundred baskets of charcoal to be carried down the mountain by one person." ”

"If you have a car, it's all in the morning."

Seravin replied, "You can also pull wood, we need a lot of wood and stone to build a house." ”

"You can also sit in a car and walk up and down the hill a lot, and your feet will quickly develop blisters," Brielier said. ”

"A cart and a cow can transport twenty domes in an afternoon in places like Bhumisius and the mountainside," Lawrence said. ”

"With a car, it will be easier to transport food, fruits and vegetables to Dumu Village, as well as wine barrel tools, so I can save time and do more."

Saliel understood, "Oh, that's right. ”

She understood, that is, she understood, and it felt like it didn't matter.

Lawrence said to the rest of the group, "If you understand the importance of cars, you will know why we build cars." ”

"Cars are needed in many places, not only for work, but also for pulling goods and people, or for offense and defense."

"In order for the car to drive better, we also need to build roads, roads that allow the car to go faster."

"My plan is for the craftsmen to build the car, and it will take about ten craftsmen, with some apprentices to help make the wood."

"The matter of building roads is very simple, just connect the roads in several places for the time being, fill the earth pits with stones and sand and mud, and push away the dirt and stones that get in the way."

Seravin asked, "Do you want to get the foresters over?" ”

Lawrence said: "Not for the time being, now that the potatoes are almost planted, a lot of people have nothing to do. ”

"Men and women involved in road construction and car building can get a pair of wool pants."

"The little ones who help can receive an orange and two pieces of gray bread every day."

"Only those who have been with us for more than a year can join, craftsmen and technicians, or the families of the expedition and soldiers can be exempted."

The people that Fryce brought with him were clearly eligible, and in fact most of the people who had experienced the eternal night were also eligible, with the exception of the City of Water and the slaves purchased this year.

It didn't take long for Lawrence to negotiate the arrangement with the others.

The new slaves went to help with quarrying and transporting earth, or to cook and pick fruit and make wine, while the rest were responsible for building roads and cars.

Road construction also adopts a contract system, which is subcontracted layer by layer in the form of agricultural squads, squadrons, and brigades, and the responsibilities are assigned to individuals.

When Lawrence came back today, he had a rough idea of what was going on on the road, and divided it according to the route and location, and the farther away from the town, the less work there was.

It's relatively fair overall, and the road has been trodden for three years, so it's actually not that hard to walk.

You don't need too many tools, just build a simple dirt road, and then step by step to build a concrete road when there are more tools and people.

After the meeting ended, Lawrence was alone in the church warehouse inspecting the recently accumulated supplies.

Building a car is a necessary thing, and the matter of building roads is not so urgent, it is just an excuse to send some things to the people below.

The fruit in Mount Talim is rotting so much that the wool at home can't keep piling up.

Wool is a flammable material, and the safety awareness of this era is very weak, rather than a fire one day, it is better to find an excuse to send a little to others, and keep new clothes that can be worn for two years.

In addition to wool, there is also grain.

In the past, every grain of wheat had to be eaten sparingly, but now the wheat is piled up in one warehouse after another, and a large amount of stale grain wheat can be purchased from the outside world every once in a while.

Rather than feed rats and crows, or rot and mold, Lawrence prefers to often find excuses to give to adults and children.

Not only that, Lawrence also wants to give everyone eggs, chickens, cows and sheep.

But this can't be too anxious, if the outside nobles know that they want to send cattle and sheep to the people in the territory, they will only think that their brains are bad.

Look at the mountains of wine, ale, cured meats, furs, weapons, silverware...... Lawrence sighed helplessly.

There are more and more things.
