After the feast, the people of Steer's realm began to load their carts and go back.

There are also knights who have stayed for three months with blood, and most of these people don't want to come again in this life.

But there's no way, after all, it's almost okay to get pregnant, and now that I'm in the honeymoon phase with Stahl's territory, I can't really play people to death.

Through this cooperation, the two sides can be regarded as having a foundation of trust, and Lawrence also promised to consider selling Aru's armor back after the next cooperation.

Rodney returned with a full load of men, this time with all the food the ship was eaten, except for the population and the treasure, and the cart was full of valuable things.

Lawrence noticed this, and went to check the town's grain after the men had left.

This year, there was a bumper harvest of wheat in Bhumixiu Town, and there were many bags of grain brought by caravans from outside, even if there were more than 300 people, it would be enough to eat.

Before the calculation, Lawrence had always thought that he would not be able to eat enough food.

After a simple calculation of the daily consumption and reserves of food, the more pessimistic it becomes.

If you eat it normally, there will be enough food until next summer.

But according to the food consumption in the past few days, it feels like it is not enough at all.

For example, yesterday and this morning's celebration used more than 700 catties of flour.

Different people eat differently, a slave in the city of water only needs a piece of bread a day, and the rest can eat sea vegetables to support it.

Of course, this was when I was in the West, and these people would definitely be able to eat bread and eat two meals a day when they came!

There were more than 100 people in the early stage, plus more than 300 people this time, and the people in Water City were already very close to 500 people.

These people consume very little food, and the main food consumers are still the Bhumixiu, and the knights of Steer's territory.

These people are strong and have a lot to eat!

Because bread and pancakes are delicious, waste is not waste, and you can definitely eat it.

Even if you can't finish it, you can take it to the servants to eat, or feed the chickens and dogs.

As long as it can be eaten, it is not wasted, whether it is a person or a dog.

Lawrence pondered the matter of food.

"Now there is still a little bit of food, I have too little arable land here, the main resources are wood and minerals, and the main resources in the West are livestock, wool, and dairy products."

"The main resource in the south is grain, where there are large tracts of fertile land, while in the east there is ...... There must be a lot of spice artwork, right? ”

The group then returned to the cave to live, and Lawrence rode a sheep to make an accurate count of the people in the territory, and came up with an accurate number of people.

Hacienda: 335 people

Mining area: 206 people

Stronghold of Mount Ug: 22 people

Bhumixiu: 458 people

Ferry City: 497 people

Forester Stronghold: Not counted

Composition: proportional

Water Man (Water City Man)

Durella people

Bhumixiu

The Clauda

Southern Barbarians: Slaves from the South + people from three villages such as Fryce + a small number of hard laborers who came to work

Slave of the Norsenri people of the Southern Kingdom

12 Night Elf hybrids

The ferryman

The Kurs

Ugers

Snow Cave Man

The Vakiri (Leglo)

Total: 1518 people

If you count the foresters, it can steadily break through 2,000 people.

"Emma, you go down the mountain and tell Seravin to send a hundred people to reclaim the fields, and then arrange for the people of the City of Water to go out fishing in our big boats, and if you want to eat, you have to work!"

The possible food crisis made it impossible for Lawrence to lie down and quickly arrange all kinds of preparations before the arrival of winter.

Emma nodded and said, "Yes, master." ”

Lawrence added: "By the way, you also told Salavin that we have too many sheep this year, and we can kill a few sheep and sell them now, and then divide the chickens and pay the soldiers in advance." ”

Saliel was knitting socks on the side, and when she heard it, she happily said, "It's almost Fried Chicken Day!" ”

Lawrence was busy with all sorts of troubles, but Sariel's mind was full of happy things.

Lawrence was interrupted by Saliel's words, and quickly said: "You can't give more food to the newcomers than the original ones, and they didn't build the ferry port, so they can't give them the same food, so they must eat shrimp and crab four days a week!" ”

If you can't improve it, you can only lower it.

Emma quickly went to deliver the instructions.

Soon only Lawrence and Saliel were left in the cave room.

Delenn and Losanda were busy carving in the hall outside, and they liked to scribble on the walls and stones when they had nothing to do.

Kharan had drunk more than Drenbi yesterday, but not before, and was now sleeping in the house.

Sophia is playing with the lamb outside.

Now Sophia the sheep is already one meter two or three, and she can't ride yet, and she is taken care of very well by Sophia and the maids every day, like a little princess.

Lawrence saw that Salyl was knitting socks there, and walked over and sat down beside her.

Just as he was about to harass Sariel, there was another sound of footsteps outside.

Lawrence could only stand up again.

Bull walked in and said to Lawrence: "Master, Turaka has brought back four thousand catties of potatoes, and the potatoes over there can't be eaten, and there are still fifty thousand catties of potatoes in the ground, and they can't be dug up at all." ”

That's when Lawrence remembered the story of the foresters.

I used to think that these foresters couldn't do anything, they were lazy and weak, and they were not suitable for growing pampered wheat, so I let them grow potatoes.

Expectations of this group of people are getting lower and lower, causing Lawrence to forget about these people.

These people are indeed lazy and weak, but potatoes are not!

Other vegetables and millet must be grown in the right temperature and humidity environment, and they also need various nutrients, otherwise they will spoil and rot.

Potatoes are different, even if they don't have any soil at all, they can tenaciously grow roots and vines, just like alien plants.

In particular, the three generations of potatoes cultivated by Keharan, combined with the forest fertilizer where the ancestors and animals and plants of the past generations are buried under the feet of the foresters, the yield of two or three thousand catties per mu is not a problem at all.

There are about three or four hundred people on the forester's side, and it is definitely not possible to rely on the forester to dig potatoes.

Lawrence was quick to say, "Send someone to dig up the potatoes, store them all, and rely on these potatoes for the winter this year!" ”

"Yes, master." Bull replied, "Do you need to call Brielel back?" ”

"Yes." Lawrence found that there were still too few people under his command to use.

Especially knowledgeable, literate people.

It's always a bit slow to cultivate on your own, but it's also difficult to find it from the outside.

Lawrence soon went out and saw the old knight outside the cave.

Turaka respectfully bowed down and knelt down and said, "Prophet! ”

Lawrence said: "Turaka, I'm glad to see that you're in good spirits, let's take a walk, what's going on with the foresters?" ”

Turaka followed behind Lawrence and said respectfully, "I'm teaching them to speak your language, and some of the little ones have already learned some of it. ”

Lawrence said happily: "That's good, knowledge is a very important thing, I used to be busy with things here, and I didn't pay much attention to that side, and it helped me a lot to spread knowledge there." ”

"Do you want to build the manor there now, or do you want to continue to build it on the side of Uger? I can help you change the place. ”

"Thank you for your kindness," said Turaka, "but the forest is not for my children, and I hope you will give me the flat land on Mount Ug." ”

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, I respect your choice, the foresters still need a trustworthy person to sit in at the moment, you stay there for another two years, as compensation I will exempt the taxes there, and you can go back to the manor for four days a month to rest." ”

Turaka's territory is not the former Ug camp, but on the hill between the town of Phumisius and the manor, which is actually very close to the manor.

Seeing that Lawrence did not force the decision, Turaka said gratefully, "Thank you for your generosity, I will faithfully fulfill your instructions when I return." ”

Lawrence said, "You have a day off, Brielier will be back soon, and the boat ride will be much quicker when you get back." ”

"I don't know much about the foresters, I want to hear about the specifics over there, and we'll talk about it in the church."

Lawrence retracted his prejudices, we are all one kind of human being, and there are savages in every race, and there are also cowardly evasive, lazy people.

It's the same with the foresters, Lawrence is willing to spread civilization there, and he is willing to help them integrate into the collective through hard work.

Turaka and Lawrence entered the church and sat down on a pew, chatting about the habits and perceptions of the foresters, as well as the geography there.

From start to finish, Lawrence never went to the Foresters.

It was Leglow and others who discovered them, and it was Mandekru and Beauf who conquered them.

Then it was Seravin who managed them, and it was Losanda who helped them avenge another tribe of foresters.

Then it was Turaka who came to manage it.

Seeing is better than seeing, Lawrence quickly decided to go over and drive in person!
