Lawrence recounted the population.

The total population of several nearby areas is 2,263 people, plus the eight or nine hundred forest people downstream, the total population is more than 3,000.

The town of Bometheus, the city of Oaks, and the port of the ferry, as well as the Stihls and the barbarians near Pig's Trotter City, all together were fifty or sixty men.

Lawrence sat in the open space outside the church basking in the sun, making wood chips with the maids, women and children in the neighborhood.

The light on the mountain was not strong, especially in the sky with many puffy clouds, and now the wheat had been harvested and most of it had been dried.

In the distance, the water-powered mill was still turning and making a rumbling sound.

The crows in the church were resting quietly, accustomed to the sound.

Lawrence tossed the piece of wood in his hand into the basket next to him, and then sat here to rest and look at the mountain scenery in the distance.

Most of the original gray-green forest has been torn down, and neat farmland houses are neatly displayed on the flat land.

The golden wheat fields have been harvested and are now planted with a variety of vegetables.

Edible herbs such as leeks, lettuce, kale, chamomile, garlic, thyme, etc.

Lawrence quickly got up and walked into the church, the outside quickly quieting down.

Navia, Emma, and others are working on wooden plaques here, writing on them.

Lawrence walked over to the wooden sign and looked at it.

[Brown hair, strong body, hard golden beard on the side of the face, blue eyes, a bit of a big temper, is a berserker. 】

Lawrence knew that this was Andrew's ID card, and looked at the other one.

[Left hand gone, brownish-gray thinning hair, black spots on face, goat chin, member of the manor patrol.] 】

It's Mandelkre's identity tag.

After counting the number of people, in order to prevent assassinations by the West or the South and the barbarians, Lawrence used a stricter system to prevent outsiders from infiltrating.

Assassination has always been extremely effective, so as long as it can be successful, people of any era like to use it.

The ancient emperor also used the registration system to curb the flow of people, and at the same time forbade the victims from approaching the imperial city, which was heavily guarded.

Then there are not many opponents in the outside world, and the assassin cannot find the position of the emperor by relying on the strength of one person alone.

But even so, there were many emperors who were assassinated in ancient times, and even more were unsuccessful.

The situation is even more serious here, where there is a long tradition of assassination, and the principle of capturing a thief first is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and kings and chieftains often die in various assassinations.

When I encounter something here, I like to kill people to solve problems, and there is no other way to reason and redress grievances.

The aristocratic group was dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits, and they couldn't beat the king, so naturally they also looked for assassins to kill.

Each of the nobles had a lot of private soldiers under them, and most of the rulers were a group of high-ranking people, so it was not surprising that they were killed.

After Lawrence paid the compensation for the land ceded by the Western Kingdom, he naturally had to guard against a sneak attack here, after all, this is a precedent for this.

The people of Vakiri and Pig's Trotter City, as well as the nobles of Stahl, cannot be safely trusted, and now that they are strong, there must be people who do not want to continue to be strong themselves.

How to survive is the question that Lawrence has been thinking about all this time.

The first is to have a basic disk and a functioning organization.

The premise of the grass platform team is the organization and rules, everyone knows what they should do and why they are responsible.

In this way, even if a person who doesn't know much comes up, as long as others know what they are going to do, it will not affect the operation of the organization.

These identities are waist cards, which are the identification documents that everyone has, which are used to let people in various departments know each other and complete the handover of work.

For example, there are many people in Oak City under construction who don't know the people in Ferry Harbor, and the people in Ferry Harbor are not familiar with the people in the manor.

At present, some literate people have been trained, and the language aspect is also being taught.

The waist card will also be used to receive a monthly salary, and the soldiers and maids in the territory can receive a salary, in order to prevent someone from claiming it, it is necessary to look at the waist card at that time.

A perfect wage system is the greatest guarantee of loyalty.

Relying on the reparations from the West and the support of high-yield crops, more people will be arranged to work on technology after the wheat is harvested, and more people from other places will be arranged to plant more land next year.

Steer's people don't know how to farm themselves, so they can plant here for Lawrence.

Lawrence was making identification badges for a few of the people he remembered, when soldiers from outside walked in.

"Prophet, the Vakiri have come to town, it's the Cretan baron."

Lawrence nodded and said to the rest, "I'll go down." ”

Sariel is busy grinding pigment, a dye that uses chicken blood as the main material, from the unique tattooing technique of the mountain barbarians.

Deren was also here to help, looking at Lawrence, "Do you still need us to follow?" ”

"No, it's just a little thing, I'll be back in the evening." Lawrence was open-minded and not timid at all.

Soon Lawrence came into the house to greet Catherine and met Crete in the courtyard of the town's church.

"Prophet." Crete saluted Lawrence.

Lawrence smiled, "This time I asked you to come here to ask about Vakiri, I heard that there are always innocent people killed there, and many people have died in recent years. ”

Crete thought that Lawrence was going to make a move on Count Vakiri, and quickly showed an excited look.

"Yes Prophet! The Count has already killed several knights, and now only me and Baron Lille are still in the entire realm. ”

Lawrence received a lot of information from Regro and Seravon about the Wakiri.

Lille is a close confidant of the Count, and is currently responsible for protecting the Count's safety, and has been stopped by the Count from going out to rob several times.

Crete continued: "The Earl's butlers, Old Geda and Little Geda, were both killed by Lille, and Lille and Countess Aulaua have long been mixed up, and now the Count will not live long. ”

Lawrence knew very well that because of his existence, the Count was not assassinated.

Because he said that whoever kills his ally, he will avenge him.

"My God does not want anyone to die innocently, not Count Vakiri or the rest."

Lawrence quietly looked at his colossus, standing in the shadow of the colossus and speaking high-pitched words.

"Since the Earl has agreed to the request of our allies and joined the benevolent Church of the Stars, he should not have killed slaves or buried anyone."

"I know that he often kills people to guard his treasures, and then I am angry and sorry, and the dead will only keep secrets, but the dead are the dead, and they will not keep the wealth for anyone."

"In my territory, all the people of the Star Church will not execute a single innocent slave, and killing slaves at will is a serious evil in our teachings!"

"Vakiri is not my territory, and I have no right to say anything about Vakiri's habits."

Lawrence turned to look at Crete.

"Go back and tell the Earl that if he can abide by the teachings of the Church of the Stars, I can forgive him for his sins, but that all those who are killed must be reburied, which is a sign of his correction of his mistakes, and this is also something that God will see."

"If he can't do it, and he doesn't accept the teachings of the Star Church, and continues to kill his subordinates and people casually, then I cancel the alliance with him!"

The era of barbarism is coming to an end, and it's time to spread civilization!

In the affairs of Vakiri, Lawrence not only has to manage, but also intervenes, unscrupulously intervenes!
