"Caves, oaks, seashores."

Lawrence couldn't make a decision after thinking about it for a long time, "Where the hell is going to be..."

Sophia sat in the sun grooming the lamb and quickly said to Lawrence, "Master, what are you thinking?" ”

Lawrence also needed someone to help with advice.

"The cave is too small, the big oak is too far from the sea, and the sea is too cold."

"I'm wondering where the best place to build a castle."

Sophia said, "Didn't you say that it was good to be there in the big oak tree? ”

Lawrence has his own considerations.

"Our main business now is trade, whether it is sea trade or land trade, we have to pass through the town of Pumixiu, and the big oak is too far away from the town of Pumixiu, and many things cannot be reacted to."

Sophia said, "Isn't it just an extra hour of travel?" We used to go down the mountain for a long time, but after you build the road, the big oak tree is much easier to walk than our previous road, master, you repair the road, maybe it will be faster than here! ”

Lawrence felt that Sophia had a point, that distance and time could be changed, and that if a road was built to the town of Phumithius and the port of the ferry, it might be faster than it is now.

"I've always wanted an outlet to the sea, and it's very likely that the big river in the north will connect to the sea, and it will be much easier to have this port, and we can transport our goods from the mountains."

Sariel, who was knitting a sweater on the side, said directly: "But we don't have much now, right?" We get a lot of things very quickly after going to the Big Oak, and now the people of the Southern Territories will give us more good things. ”

"The things of the northern merchants can also be transported to where we live."

After being reminded by Sariel, Lawrence thought carefully about what he was now.

Over the past few years, I have collected a lot of things, and I always thought that there were many things, but now that I think about it, I find that it is some food and wool.

Most things are not scarce, and even the fruits of Mount Talim have gradually recovered their original appearance after two or three years of picking.

The land beneath your feet has a limited carrying capacity, and although a lot of efforts have been made over the years to change this, it must also be admitted that it is not suitable for too many people to gather.

Get out there...... Lawrence suddenly remembered that what he had to do was to lead the barbarians out of the barbarism, out of this wild place that was not suitable for human life.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and those who will help the world will help you.

If you have the ability, why not take everyone to a better place?

He is the representative of civilization, why let a group of barbarians and feudal slave owners around him occupy those fertile lands, and he himself suffers in this bitter cold land with a long corner?

In the past, the strength was not enough, but now that the strength is enough, you have to find a way to get out!

This is a barbaric era, whoever takes those countries outside is their father!

Looking at the history books of another world, after a successful invasion, it is called fusion, and failure is an invasion!

Human beings themselves are creatures of strength and class, and the more capable they are, the greater their power.

"I figured out that it was indeed the Big Oak that was more suitable for us."

After Lawrence's mind opened, the pattern also became larger, and he saw dangerous things that he didn't care about before.

"We need to conquer some of the borderlands in the south as soon as possible, and unite all the forester tribes."

Sariel didn't understand Lawrence, "Why are you busy again?" Didn't say to build a house next year? ”

Lawrence explained: "I need to be on guard against the flanking attack from the West and the South, and now the South is slow to react, and it will not be able to react in a few years, and the West side may be attacking us in the next few years because of my interference." ”

"How dare they?!" Sariel's brows furrowed, "If we don't beat them, they dare to beat us?" ”

Lawrence was very sure of his judgment.

"We used to be barren here, and there was no income from attacking us."

"But those people have figured out where we are, and because of my previous mistakes, they mistakenly think that we are fertile here."

"Our land here is actually very barren and not suitable for living and thriving, but that's not what others see."

"They saw that we had herds of cattle and sheep, bees flying, beeswax and honey, sweet fruits, plenty of oak trees, endless iron ore, and many precious medicinal herbs."

"They saw that our land was more fertile than the Western Kingdom, and they heard about the yield of thousands of catties of potatoes and hundreds of catties of wheat per acre, as well as the output of various spices."

"Especially after seeing that we only have a few hundred people here, or at most more than a thousand, I don't think their greed will make them willing to do business."

Both Salil and Sophia grew solemn, the reason why the land was so fertile was because of Lawrence's efforts.

But as those people see, the nobility of the Western Kingdom is not wrong to think that the land here is better.

"Our details have been clarified, and we must be prepared in advance, and we must strengthen our defenses at Ferry Port as soon as possible to prevent Western pirates from sneaking up on us!"

Sariel's expression was extremely complicated, "It's weird...... Have we been robbed? ”

"Strength is king." Lawrence affirmed: "No matter what, we need to build up our strength as soon as possible and absorb more people, especially the warriors and lands of the South." ”

Sophia asked, "Is that okay?" It feels like those foresters aren't useful. ”

Lawrence, who has opened up the pattern, has a clear mind, and begins to consider things from the perspective of the big picture.

"I'll go to Andrew and ask Andrew and Regelo to take a few people to Count Vakiri."

Sarriel quickly said: "Ally with him and fight the pirates of the West together?" ”

Lawrence thought for a few seconds.

In fact, I would prefer to send someone to assassinate the Earl directly, which would save a lot of things.

But now he has a good relationship with Count Steel, and there is no obvious contradiction with Pig's Trotter City.

No one else knows, but the barbarians themselves know what the north is.

These barbarians believe that this land is a land blessed by God and does not belong to them, so they are not strong in their desire to fight.

The nobles of the Western Kingdom did not believe in this god, and Lawrence had a bad impression of those greedy nobles, who were definitely not as weak as they appeared.

Now it is not suitable to fight on multiple fronts, because of the existence of the Kingdom of Loven, the south cannot meddle here.

If you hit Count Vakiri yourself, then the situation will be complicated.

At present, the territory of 2,000 people does not have the ability to fight on multiple fronts, so it must temporarily ally with the earl.

"I will send some food and clothes to Count Vakiri, and invite him to go with us to the West next spring to make a fortune."

Sophia asked, "Will he say yes?" ”

Lawrence thought for a moment and added, "Then give him conditions that he can't refuse, such as when there is a rebellion in the territory of Earl Steele and Count Wakirri, we will help suppress the rebellion." ”

"Count Vakiri's greatest fear is that his men will rebel and not listen to him."

"The condition we give is that whoever opposes the Earl, we will kill the rebels for the Earl."

"The premise is that the Earl is willing to join the Church of the Stars like Count Sterl and believe in the Lord of the Stars."
