Chapter Eighty-Seven: True and False

Rebuilding began on the estate.

Some people repaired houses, and some built new houses on vacant land in the north.

The Earth Storm Bear incident made everyone discover the problem, so a three-meter-high guard tower was built in five places around it to prevent outsiders from being unaware when people and things approached.

The Lawrence family began to expand the cave, digging stones from the hollowed out caves to build toilets, bathrooms, drains, heating pipes, and other facilities.

After five or six days of work, Lawrence discovered the problems of living in a cave.

First of all, there is the problem of light, living in a cave is not the same as living in a wooden house, you are in a dark cave all day, and you have to be lit 24 hours a day.

And after living in a cave, I have to go out to bask in the sun every day as if I was kicked out of my house.

Air problems can also be solved by exhaust systems, but lighting problems are almost unsolvable in this day and age.

Lawrence soon realizes that the cave is only suitable for winter, and that it is also for winter dwelling near the eternal night.

After this thought appeared, Lawrence was too lazy to pay attention.

"Sariel, this is okay now, right?"

Lawrence asks for Saliel's opinion, and she is the most talkative and the most voicing.

"The oven and fireplace are all built, and there are bathrooms, lounges, and warehouses. ”

"The herb house, the warehouse that Keharan wants."

"The meditation room that Losanda wants."

"The weapons room that Delenn wants."

"Sophia's pet room."

"I have all the big houses I want."

"Hmmm! That's it! ”

Lawrence thought of the maid who lived together, and the place was not only for himself, but also for Emma and Bull and others.

There must be more maids, as well as more bathrooms and kitchens, and more warehouses to store their loot and treasures.

You can even dig into the ground to find a place to store ice.

However, Losanda seems to be trying to make a lava pool, which would make it difficult to store the ice.

In general, there are more benefits, and you can actually get ice cubes in the summer here, as long as you run up the mountain and go to the nearby snow-capped mountains to get ice cubes.

I used to think that the cost was too high, but now... It still feels too high.

Lawrence didn't tell the witches how to eat ice cream, fearing that they wouldn't be able to restrain their desires.

If they were to find ice cubes to eat, the women would have asked their men to go to the distant mountains to collect ice and come back.

Lawrence still feels that his men are not enough, and after arranging for Sariel and others to continue to open the mountain, Lawrence mobilized the people under the mountain to work!

The people down the hill don't need to build houses, their houses are freshly repaired.

After drying and storing the food for the winter, a small number of people went to the beach to support the shipbuilding and construction of houses, while the rest were idle and had nothing to do.

Lawrence gathered everyone together and let them continue working on the land.

Lawrence explained in the church why he continued to do farm work after the harvest.

In this era, people had very little land use, and whether it was irrigation, fertilization, pest control, or a more elaborate rotation system, they were only experimenting, and they were not really promoted.

Before Lawrence used a blacksmith shop to make ironware on a large scale, there were few farming tools, and agriculture could not develop.

Relying on the advantages of few people and fertile land, it is often just a handful of seeds to be simply sorted and waiting for the harvest.

Lawrence is more refined here and more productive than those in the south, where the land is fertile.

But also more tired, very tired, more than ten times tired.

Relatively less tax, more income, more food, more opportunities for communication, more entertainment to relieve fatigue.

Lawrence knows that most people don't actually care about this matter, and there will be things to do when they are idle anyway, and they don't need an explanation from their master.

Still, Lawrence had to tell others why he did it.

"Ploughing the soil to make suitable seedbeds for wheat seedlings in advance, we have a very fast winter here, if we plough the land in winter, it will be too late."

"I have been observing the condition of the land for the past three years, and instead of plowing the land in the spring, we should cultivate the land now, use people and cattle to plough deeply, make the soil soft, and completely remove weeds, rhizomes and stubble from the field."

"There are fewer pests, fewer weeds, and the soil under the land is softer."

"Now plough deeply, plant a batch of cabbage, and then turn it again after harvesting the cabbage in early winter, and then the land will be frozen directly."

"The soil frozen above will warm the soil below like a quilt, so that the temperature will rise, and when spring comes, the soil above will just thaw, and the place below will be enough for us to grow wheat."

Lawrence looked at the people below after finishing speaking.

Most people can't understand it, especially the new barbarians.

On the contrary, it is the people of the Water City, who mainly farm and fish, and a small number of Durella people who farm the land, who are thinking about this guideline.

The barbarians were ahead only in the technology of eating bread, and the cultivation technology was very backward.

Expecting these people to understand agricultural technology will not work legally and humanely.

First of all, the atmosphere here is to rob and get rich, and farming is something that only unproductive people do, and the mainstream group will not study this.

The second is that the land here is too barren to be developed.

Lawrence was an outlier and had to farm in a place that was not suitable for farming.

The Durrellians soon cried out: "Prophet, will there be more wheat in the field?" ”

Lawrence said solemnly to him: "Yes, this is agricultural technology, both iron-striking technology and agricultural technology, both of which are very important to us. ”

Another Durella shouted: "The land here is fertile, much better than the land of Durella, and we will do whatever the Prophet tells us to do, is this a test?!" ”

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, the test of more work, if you can work harder, you will be able to harvest more wheat for me, and this wheat will strengthen our race." ”

"And you, my people, each of you will find honor and convenience from it."

"Mount Agama does not raise idlers, God has given us enough days of rest, if we don't know how to work hard and use hard work to please God, then God will be angry!"

Even feudal dross and religious deception are great progress and civilization in this ignorant era.

The crowd quickly understood Lawrence's plan.

Although it is not clear what happened, especially the people in the back row are even sleeping, as long as Lawrence arranges the things and there are management and team leaders who are responsible for implementing it, then it can continue smoothly.

Regardless of the system, execution is very crucial.

And all the execution power now is because many management and small leaders were promoted by Lawrence, listen to Lawrence.

Disobedient people, Lawrence will certainly not promote.

There is no distinction between barbarians and civilized people, and from now on, they are all the people of Mount Agama.

Lawrence makes farming implements and harnesses more suitable for ploughing the land, making it easier for ploughing cattle to pull heavy ploughs.

In this era, people do not believe that hard work will be rewarded, and people prefer to believe that the reason for the abundant harvest here every year is God, because it is a paradise place given to them by God, not because of their hard work.

No matter how hard the people work outside, they can't get enough to eat.

The rest of the people are the same.

So people don't believe Lawrence's argument that hard work will be rewarded, but only believe that it is God's test and gift to them.
