Chapter 100: The Maid
A heavy rain hit and the temperature plummeted.
The next day Lawrence went out of the cave and returned to his bedroom after watching the gloomy weather outside.
"Sariel, Sariel." Lawrence patted Sariel on the face.
Salyl impatiently pushed Lawrence's hand away, changed her position and continued to sleep with her back to Lawrence.
Lawrence asked, "Sariel, Sariel, is it going to rain today?" ”
"Will... Let's sleep. Saril covered her head with a pillow and went back to sleep.
Lawrence reluctantly walked out.
The space in the cave is limited, so it adopts a multi-level structure, which is reinforced with Delen's witchcraft to prevent collapse, and then forms a cascading floor.
The main house adopts a trapezoidal structure, which becomes smaller and smaller as it goes up, and there are sloping stone walls on both sides to fix it, and there are also inclined stone pillars that also function as ladders to support it.
Witchcraft occupies only a small part, and more is the scientific construction and solidification principle.
The Lawrence family lives on the lowest floor, with Emma and Bull living on the second floor, as well as Navia and Briel.
The third floor is where the study and study are located, and the fourth floor is where Kehalan studied herbs and Lawrence placed his tools.
There is a fifth floor above, and the fifth floor is a pressure reservoir and a water purification device.
Because it was a cloudy day, the cave was a little damp and stuffy.
Lawrence went out of the bedroom and saw Bull placing the brazier in the living room on the first floor.
The lighting beads were used as lighthouses, so that the caravans of the west could get closer in foggy weather.
The main lighting tool in the cave is the fire, which is dark and dim most of the time.
The witches seemed to be well adapted to the environment, and whether it was Sariel, Sophia, and Kohara, they all thought it was a good place.
Lawrence walked over to the chair and sat down, and said to Bull, who was not far away, "Bull, I remember that when the merchants of the Old Whisperer family first came over, they sold us a few southerner slave girls, how are those people living here?" ”
Bull came up and said, "They have learned how to make wool, and they have learned how to cook and grow vegetables. ”
Lawrence nodded, "There are still a few vacant rooms on the second floor, you can discuss it with Emma, Bull and Navia and Briel, and then select four maids to work here." ”
Bull promised, "Yes, master." ”
At this moment Sariel came out of the room, her hair messy as if she hadn't woken up.
Lawrence ignored her and said to Bull, "Let's eat." ”
After the industrious Salil woke up, Sophia and Keharan also woke up one after another.
Sariel was just a little lazy compared to Lawrence and the maids, and as a ruling and aristocratic woman here, she was actually quite good.
Bull talks to Emma about it when he goes to the kitchen to serve food.
"Emma, the master wants to find four more maids."
When Emma heard this, she said, "Yes, we have too few people here, and we are usually too busy. ”
Navia and Brielier are here too.
Brielier went out with the food, and after elegantly placing the plate on the table, she waited on Lawrence's side.
Lawrence is usually very busy, so he will also take the initiative to ask about some things when he eats.
After seeing Brillier standing beside him, Lawrence asked, "Is there something going on?" ”
Brielier said respectfully, "When I was in the town of Bometheus these days, a servant from Stahl came and asked if you needed a beautiful slave girl. ”
"Yes, but men are better, we need men here." Lawrence said, "If it's a male slave, the kind we call it first, then the artisans and the farmers. ”
Brielier replied, "That's how I answered them, but I don't feel like those people are there to sell you a pretty slave girl." ”
"What's that for?" Sariel didn't know when she came back, and she also tidied up her hair and tied it up with a beautiful costume hairstyle.
Brielier said, "Maybe it's because of marrying you, our church doesn't prohibit marriage, that's why they think so." ”
It is true that Lawrence does not prohibit the marriage of members of the church, even nuns.
Thinking of this, Lawrence pondered: "I have no idea of marrying nobles, and I will not use myself as a tool for marriage, but if they want, our convent can also accept female nobles from outside to come over as nuns." ”
"Just like those churches in the West and in the South, aristocratic women who want to enter the church as nuns also have to contribute a settlement fee."
Such a good means of making money, of course, Lawrence will not let go.
As long as those female nobles are allowed to come and become nuns, or arrange a convent for them to live in and continue to be the eldest lady, there will be a lot of money and dowry and land to be obtained, which is more comfortable than robbery!
Lawrence really looks down on the money from the robbery now.
Looting ordinary people's villages, at most, they brought back some food and meat, or some torn clothes and kitchen utensils.
Not every village is so rich that everyone can eat.
Especially after robbing around, after the grass around the nest has been eaten, no one can be found anymore.
Now Lawrence prefers to do business and other high-income activities.
Brillielle looked at Lawrence in surprise, she didn't expect Lawrence to have such an idea.
"Someone would want to come to us as a nun......"
As she spoke, Brielier denied herself, and said respectfully, "There must be someone who is willing to come and serve the Lord of the Stars, to serve you, the master." ”
Lawrence pondered how to implement the plan.
"Send someone to reply to Count Stead first, we have established a good cooperative relationship between the two sides, and I believe that he will definitely be willing to send someone over to be a nun."
"You have to pay attention to the city of Trandahoof, Lorfen III joined the Southern Alliance earlier, and he also believes in the Holy Light Church in the south."
"The city of Trantahoof will definitely be influenced by Lorfen III and will not be with us in faith."
"Go and reorganize the people who went to Trantahoof City last year, and let Beoff go there with the caravan this year."
Freesson's death was a loss to Lawrence.
Lost not only a warrior, but also a good businessman.
Although most people don't like Freesson, he is really more valuable than most.
Saliel suddenly said: "If you are looking for a maid, you can start directly with a child, for example, Emma's child Tim can be a maid." ”
Lawrence looked at Sariel in astonishment, "What can a four- or five-year-old girl do?" ”
"You don't have to do anything, you can definitely sweep the floor." Sariel looked at Lawrence strangely, "Start with cleaning and handing things out, and let Emma teach the rest." ”
Lawrence thought it was ridiculous, Tim was still a little girl, a four-year-old girl.
When he first went to Emma's house to grind wheat, Tim was still nursing in Emma's arms!
Kharan, who didn't speak much, suggested, "I think Sariel is very good at what she said, a maid is to be cultivated from a young age. ”
Emma heard the two hostesses recommend her daughter to be a maid, and said excitedly and nervously: "Tim is very obedient, I promise that I will teach her to work well for your master!" ”
Lawrence also recognized the value of loyalty and trust.
Tim is indeed very young, but as Emma's daughter, if she has been educated since she was a child, she is indeed safer than outsiders.
In this age of primitive barbarism, trust is very important.
"In that case, future maids will be given priority from among our people, especially those who have made significant contributions."
Lawrence thought of the crooked melons and cracked dates in the emperor's harem again, and found that it was not good to attach too much importance to merit, and added: "But also give the rest a chance." ”
"Yes! Master. The four maids roughly understood what Lawrence meant.
Emma quickly went to fetch Tim, who was living with the Bhumixiu woman.
Emma, a young woman in her twenties, knelt in front of Lawrence with her four-year-old daughter Tim by the hand.
"Master!" Adults and children knelt together and nervously greeted Lawrence.
Lawrence smiled: "Get up, Tim is still young now, in the future, I will start with a simple sweep, and then do other things when I am older, and usually sleep in the same room with Emma." ”
As if they had been rehearsed, the adults and children said neatly: "Yes, thank you, master!" ”
Lawrence knew that Emma must have told Tim what to do and what not to do.
Tim does have a need to cultivate, but now there is still a shortage of people in the house, and Brielil and Navia and the others have a lot of things to deal with every day, and at least two more maids need to be added to the cave.
Otherwise, the work of putting a brazier every day will be very busy.
