Civilization is a façade, but what is actually required is violence.

Without the support of violence, no matter how powerful a civilization is, it will be destroyed by unruly bandits.

It's like a businessman without the protection of the state and the army, and in someone else's territory, he is a lost little fat sheep.

Lawrence, who returned home, quickly patrolled his territory and took Sariel and Emma to Phumesius Town.

Emma and Saliel go to Andrew to deliver food and wine, and Lawrence, Tim, and Sophia come to the town's sheepfold to inspect the situation.

"This sheep looks unrefreshed, and it will definitely not be able to stand the dreary weather in the eternal night, so we will take it to the mountains and raise it, and if it does not grow well, we will eat it."

"Now let's put it in a separate sheepfold and we'll take it away."

Lawrence identified the weakest sheep, which is currently the best sheep to cult.

At this time, in addition to Sophia, there was only one little follower Tim who came down to see his brother.

It seems that Sophia, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, has no intention of working at all.

Six-year-old Tim looked at the sheep on his chest and wiped his mouth with delight, "Okay! Yes, master! ”

The little girl quickly went over to lead the sheep, and Lawrence stood at the door to watch over it.

Lawrence watched as Tim herded the sheep into the stone sheepfold, then blocked the wooden door at the exit of the stone wall, and tied it to the door in earnest.

Tim didn't lose the sheep and pigs, but there were children in the village who forgot to close the door and let the sheep and pigs run out.

The manor and town were scattered around the manor, and most of the assets here belonged to Lawrence, and the scattered sheep and pigs were soon driven back.

The little one who made the mistake learned the lesson from his family, and the rest of the children in the neighborhood also learned the consequences of doing so.

Lawrence was reluctant to buy children from caravans, and for similar reasons, without the proper education of adults, and strong supervision, the teenagers he bought were a group of troubles.

The children in the village are supervised and educated by their parents, and they have siblings as role models, so they can easily gather even if they are attacked by bandits.

And living in someone else's house is easy to cause trouble, and it is also a problem to put it in the manor, and the newly bought slaves must be supervised.

Saliel and Emma soon returned, shouting at Lawrence, "Lawrence, we can go back." ”

Lawrence didn't want to leave a few minutes after he came down, "Go shopping again, you guys go to town, I'll be waiting for you at the church." ”

Salyl came over and said, "What's there to shop about?" It's winter. ”

Lawrence thought so, and went to church.

I didn't take Catherine with me today, and it's not good to walk in the snow a lot, and I have to rest once in a while.

Walking slowly along the street, nearby pedestrians saluted respectfully.

Lawrence quickly walked near the Colossus.

There was only one outsider sitting in the clearing of the market, with the carcass of a sheep in front of him.

It was a man with a dog, and a long-haired dog that looked like a mastiff was squatting beside him.

Dogs and pigs in this world are like fish, there are many species, and the appearance gap is also different, some are used for hunting, some are used for pulling, and some are pet dogs, but most of them shoulder the function of vigilance.

"Um, who is this man?" Lawrence called out to um who was staring here.

Umch quickly said, "Master, he is a freeman of the territory of Sirdel, and wants to exchange mutton for wheat or rye. ”

Lawrence walked over and said to the man, "I'm the lord here, what price do you want to exchange?" ”

Hall hurriedly said: "I am Hall, merciful prophet, I heard that you have wheat here, and I want to exchange this sheep for thirty jars...... No, twenty-five cans will do! ”

Lawrence looked at the man's outfit, obviously an ordinary farmer, but he was able to reach himself alone in this cold winter season.

Even with the help of the dog, Lawrence felt some importance and curiosity about this man.

"How did this sheep die?"

Hall said cautiously: "I broke my leg by the door when I entered the sheepfold, and it happened this morning." ”

Lawrence squatted down and lifted the sheep up with his horns in his hands, and the leg of the lamb was indeed injured, but the cause of death should be a knife wound in the neck, which was killed instantly.

The blood had been drained, the sheepskin had been stripped off, and the remaining flesh and bones were roughly thirty pounds.

If more than 30 catties of mutton and mutton bones are exchanged for 30 catties of wheat, you will suffer a loss.

On the premise of survival, 30 catties of wheat can make a family live for half a month longer, but 30 catties of mutton with bones cannot.

"Yes." Lawrence nodded at um and said, "Fill him with thirty pounds of wheat, and take this mutton to the church for dinner." ”

"Yes, master!" um happily agreed.

Hall also knelt down happily and said, "Thank you, merciful prophet! ”

"Get up." Lawrence asked, "How did you get here?" ”

Hall replied, "Walk over, I'm fast, and people call me Hall with long legs." ”

Lawrence looked at Hall's dog again, and the long-haired dog behaved very honestly, and neither he barked when he saw Lawrence or um take the lamb from him.

"You dog is very obedient."

"Yes, he's a good friend of mine," Hall said. ”

Lawrence smiled, "I also have some dogs, but I don't have much time to play with them, and seeing that you have a companion to accompany you, I think of myself who I used to be." ”

"I don't think it's easy for you to get here from Stahl with your companions in this cold winter, and now that you've come to this God-given land and met me, I should give you some small reward."

"How about a full meal?" Lawrence smiled, "You and your dog can go to the tavern for a full meal, the money can be credited to my account, and then go back when you are full." ”

Hall thanked excitedly, and this time not only knelt down himself, but also prostrate himself with one hand on the long-haired dog, "O merciful prophet! ”

Lawrence did not continue to talk to Hall, and soon let him go to a full meal, and he went to church to chat with foreign students from various countries about foreign music.

These international students were idle, and Lawrence asked them to compose songs that were sung in their own words.

According to normal development, these people will translate old things and adapt them if they can't create new things, so as to hand over tasks.

That's exactly what Lawrence wants.

It's easy to get tired of eating and drinking, and Lawrence feels like he needs some work to adjust to the oppressive feeling that the climate brings.

Copying and translating texts, designing buildings, designing furniture and clothing, and conceiving urban planning.

Lawrence may seem like a prostitute and a creative person, but for the aristocratic women and underappreciated young people of this era, this is the grace of knowing each other!

They can design their own clothes, design their own tools and houses, and even change the city they live in!

Ancient people actually needed to recognize the value more, and it was easy for the recognition and needs of the people around them to burst out with the potential for excellence.

Lawrence solved the problem of food and clothing, let these people eat and drink well, and divided the precious lighting beads into four.
