"Safety is greater than the sky."

Lawrence eventually decided to choose a maid from the meritorious household.

"Brielier, are all the women Turaka brought with you family?"

Lawrence carefully reminisced about Fryce, Tukara, Beoff's siblings, and his mother, and finally came up with two choices.

One is a young woman from the West on Turaka's side, and the other is a young girl from the City of Water.

Brielier said happily, "Yes, master, do you have anything to need?" ”

Lawrence said, "Your father and you have done so much for me, and they have done very well, and I have allowed you to have another person in your family to serve as a temporary maid, and I will return in the spring." ”

Hearing that it was just a temporary maid, Brielier was a little disappointed, but she was still happy and said, "Yes, master, I recommend my eldest brother's wife, she used to be a maid in the baron's house. ”

Brielier's father, Tukara, was only a knight, not a noble baron.

Lawrence was the son of the Baron, but he had a bad time.

There are several barons who have been killed by him for a while, and the nobles of the few Siddle territories who are currently cooperating are also barons.

"Then let her come over to work, learn and feel the atmosphere of an aristocratic family in advance, and your family will become a real aristocratic family in the future."

Brielier was thrilled, "Yes, master! ”

Lawrence told Brielle to inform her family of the good news, and called for someone to prepare for the domes to come down the mountain.

Sariel asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Lawrence looked at Sariel's unhappy look and smiled, "I'm going to take a look at Ferry Harbor and come back today." ”

When Sariel heard this, she thought about it for a moment, "I feel like it's going to rain over there, I'll be with you." ”

Lawrence began to calculate the recent time, "It's almost snowing, I'll go to Ferry Harbor to get a waterman maid, and then we'll be back." ”

Sophia was curious: "Why are you looking for a water maid?" ”

Lawrence explained: "In the past, the water people took our people to the Hokuriku Kingdom to pick up their families, and betrayed the nobles there, but now that we didn't kill the Marquis of York, and let go of some nobles, these low-level people will definitely feel uneasy. ”

"Recruiting maids is just one of the means of appeasement, and I have given them jobs and houses before, which has reassured them."

"But material comfort alone is not enough, recruiting maids from those water people is more likely to arouse mutual recognition."

Sariel walked straight to the room, "I'm going to change clothes, let's leave early and come back early." ”

Sophia also went to change her clothes, and Lawrence advised, "It's cold outside today, wear more." ”

It's winter outside, and even though it's not snowing yet, the temperature at this time is much colder than yesterday afternoon because of the cold wind.

Lawrence walked to the door of the cave, and the two men standing guard next to him quickly lowered their heads, "Prophet." ”

"Hmm." Lawrence took a few steps forward and stood in the clearing in front of the cave looking into the distance.

The wooden houses on the manor were still preserved, and most of the people on the manor had nothing to do at this time, except for the lumberyard workers, and some of them were preparing for winter.

Outside the kitchen, a group of people are washing potatoes and turning them into potato starch through multiple processes.

Making potato flour requires a pool of water to settle potato impurities and liquids, allowing heavy objects to fall and liquids to float on the surface.

Emma is directing a group of people to make a cistern, and after researching potato starch and potato vermicelli, the maid of the house has mastered the technique.

Lawrence looked at the cistern under construction and quickly arranged the next thing for Bull who had come by.

"After the potatoes are ready, we arrange for someone to build a brick kiln, and the general principle is similar to the ice bricks we made last year in the eternal night, except that they don't need to be frozen, and the soil needs to be dried like a jar."

"There are clay mines nearby, take people to dig them, and the people who burn bricks are mainly old people who farm the land, and in the future, they don't have to farm and fight, they specialize in this thing."

Bull said, "Yes, master." ”

There are still a small number of old people in the territory, and these people will die slowly if they don't care.

This is a normal elimination, and it is a normal thing to die in this era, and everyone's acceptance is very high.

Lawrence still felt that there were too few people in the territory, and working for these old people would allow them to live longer.

There is still a lot of sediment in the nearby river, especially the one in the north, which needs to be renovated so that a large amount of sediment can be dug up as a building material.

Potato workshops, cellars, lumber yards, wool mills, warehouses, granaries, cattle sheds, sheep houses, pigsties, chicken sheds, communal kitchens, dwellings......

Lawrence found that not only was there not enough land on the estate, but there was also not enough space in the camp.

The large number of dwellings occupies a large amount of land, coupled with various living buildings and activity spaces, and now the lumberjacks can only be urged to quickly open up new land.

The carrying capacity of this land has reached its limit, and a part of the space must be diverted.

As he descended the mountain, Lawrence looked left and right for suitable places to live.

There are more than 300 people, which is not even comparable to the number of students in an elementary school, but now this is not a primary school, but a very important camp.

Out of the 300 people, excluding children who cannot work and a very small number of sick people, the working population exceeds 300!

The ruling class, including Lawrence and Saliel, is also an important contributor to the work.

Processing wool, picking vegetables, caring for livestock, logging, cooking, building, ......

Even small children of three or four years old can take the basket and pick up the eggs and come back.

Tim used to do this kind of simple and easy work, picking up eggs didn't require effort or speed, just picking up some eggs and bringing them back to the kitchen.

Similar tasks include collecting clothes, cleaning up crow droppings, sweeping the floor, and even larger ones requiring more complex manual work.

Lawrence calculated that in addition to burning bricks and processing potatoes, logging wood, and patrolling, more than fifty people could be freed up to build houses.

But most people probably don't want to move out.

For the current camp, leaving the gathering area, even to live at the bottom of the mountain, is a very bad degrade.

The Bhumixiu people are generally receptive to this arrangement mainly because they have lived in the town of Bhumixiu before.

When the Kloda people first came, they felt that it didn't matter anywhere, so they went down the mountain happily.

Now the situation is complicated.

On the one hand, many children have grown up here, and in Lawrence's view, it is just over two years, but for these children and teenagers, it is a whole childhood.

Most of the Durella people were already accustomed to life here, especially the hundreds who came first.

Who to let go? This is a problem.

After thinking about it, Lawrence eventually found a way to build a building with a higher capacity rate on his own, rather than kicking everyone out.

Factories can be a little farther away, especially polluting buildings such as chicken farms, otherwise there will always be a stinking around.

Cattle and sheep are also placed in places with more abundant pasture resources to build houses, people can be crowded together, and animals are always crowded together and will really die.

Three hundred men seems like too much now, and when the castle is built, or when all the land in the camp is developed, it will not be enough.

In the two or three hours from the mountain to the town of Peumitheus, Lawrence had most of his plans for this winter.

Now that the total population has reached 2,000, it is time to consider exploring more land, such as the rich lands of the West or the South, when the population exceeds 5,000.

If there are 10,000 people, then the state can be stated.

10,000 national ...... Lawrence pondered the things about the nation's founding.

On the one hand, I feel that a small country of 10,000 people is very fragile, but I also feel that if the current strength is expanded, a small country of 10,000 people is really not weak.
