In Ferry Harbor, a group of aristocratic men and women set up barbecue iron racks on the cliffs, and placed tables and chairs.

Most of the men and women in this group looked very decent, the kind of young masters and ladies who didn't need to work.

They are indeed all a group of nobles.

Isabella, the princess of the Kingdom of Gran, and Safi, the daughter of the Count of the Kingdom of Hasenley, are also among them, and play a more important role.

Isabella sat elegantly in a chair, and the maid next to her brought the boiling kettle and poured hot water into the beautiful and delicate cup.

There was expensive milk powder in the cup, and when the hot water was washed down, it turned into a white hot drink.

Kaji, a female student from the Deco Kingdom, gestured to her maid, who quickly brought a plate of fried peas.

Another lady in the seat put the fruit she had brought, a plate of peeled oranges and freshly cut pears.

Soon it was Safi's turn, and Safi had an elegant, confident smile on his face.

Safi's maid placed the basket she was carrying on the table and gently opened the lid of the basket.

Although it is only a design that can be opened with a casual flip, it is still an exquisite design that the rest of the noble ladies do not have.

The maid quickly put down a plate that was white in the middle and surrounded by bright yellow patterns, and took out a jar the size of a water cup under the gaze of everyone.

Whoa~ Eight orange sugar cubes quickly came down from the jar.

Isabella soon discovers the name of these things, Tangerine Candy!

Kaji asked in this language, "Safi, why do you have so many orange candies?" This is something that is not sold in stores. ”

Isabella didn't know the language at first, but after studying for a while, she quickly understood some of the words because everyone here spoke the same language.

For example, common phrases such as orange candy, store, no, buy, commodity.

It may be that most of the people are newcomers, and the people here are generally slower to speak, and even between locals and locals, there are often times when they speak too quickly and can't understand.

Usually not in a hurry, I pay more attention to whether others can understand.

Safi planned to be in the limelight at the ladies' party from the beginning, wearing new clothes from her own family, and bringing out good food that she was usually reluctant to eat.

Just to show off.

"Huh." Safi covered her mouth and smiled slowly, "It was the Prophet who gave me the reward after I named the fish in the sea last week. ”

Isabella doesn't know much about this, what's the name?

Kaji asked, "What does that mean?" ”

Safi was very helpful and took the initiative to explain the specific situation.

"Three days ago the Prophet gathered slaves, warriors, and nobles from the seashore to draw up an encyclopedia of marine fish, naming the fish, shrimp and shells that were often encountered and harvested, and perfecting the usefulness of those fish."

"Some fish can be eaten, some fish are near the beach, some fish can bite, some fish can be used for seasoning soy sauce, and some fish can be made into fish skin and gelatin."

"Let's find out the time when these fish are active, and it will be improved by the fishermen little by little in the future."

"Because I gave me a lot of useful advice, the Prophet rewarded me with a jar of candy."

Kaji nodded, "Well, my fried peas were just made today, and last time I helped Sister Brilier make an oak pilophone, she readily agreed when I said I wanted to use the kitchen." ”

The two ladies soon burst into laughter.

The rest of the international students in the neighborhood were barbecuing and chatting by the way.

In the past few days, because of the good weather, Lawrence arranged for these international students who often had nothing to do to wait in Ferry Harbor.

During this time, envoys from all over the country came and went more frequently, and before the afternoon tea was over, sure enough, the western fleet came to the port again.

The ladies quickly drank the hot milk that was almost cold in their cups, and then got up and went over to get ready for work.

The orange candy and milk powder were all eaten and drunk, and there were some leftovers of fried beans, as well as some oranges and pears.

In fact, the production of oranges and pears is not much, and now to make fruit wine and fruit vinegar, a large amount of orange candy has to be stored, resulting in a shortage of fruits in the mountains, which are usually used to supplement vitamins for children.

However, here at the ladies' tea party, it is an ordinary luxury item of very low grade, and eating too much here will make you look very ashamed.

The style of comparison of Western aristocrats is very prevalent in the circle of international students, and Lawrence does not interfere in the affairs of other people's families, regardless of these bad things.

Lawrence stood in the shipyard and looked at the Oak Horn being made.

In the past few days, I have nothing to do to supervise the production of the Oak, and after the disappearance of the Reece and the renovation of the ship, there is an urgent need for a large ship to lead the team.

The Oak will have to wait until next year at the earliest, and now some of the people are using the ships of the last naval prisoners.

The largest ship was forty-two meters long, and was a large armed ship used by the nobility, with three separate aristocratic rest rooms, as well as a cabin for sailors, a larger cargo hold, capable of carrying hundreds of people and a large amount of cargo on long voyages.

Lawrence named it the Boar, which is now being converted and maintained.

Rao walked in quickly.

"Prophet, messengers from Durrella have come, and they have brought wool, tin mines, and wine."

Lawrence turned and walked outside, "Go and see." ”

When they arrived at the beach, four 30-meter boats were unloading their cargo at the beach.

Isabella and others took the ledger to keep accounts and count them, and there were also international students who stood aside to supervise.

"Prophet!"

Lawrence's arrival caught everyone's attention, and he quickly saluted.

There are rules in place here, and you can bow and say hello when you work here, and you don't need to kneel.

If it's a continuous or dangerous job, you can ignore it.

"Keep working." Lawrence commanded, and stood by the sea looking at the goods that had arrived.

Buffy, the wine merchant, came from a distance and knelt down, "Merciful prophet, I have heard of your great deeds in Durela, that you have defeated the army of five thousand of the kingdom of Lorfen. ”

Lawrence smiled, "Your news is as fast as the sea breeze, get up and speak." ”

"Yes, Prophet." Buffy smiled and got up, especially after knowing that there were still kings and princesses here, and he had even more reverence for the person in front of him.

"This year's 3,000 barrels of wine have been delivered, in the summer 1,500 barrels have been delivered, and now here are 1,550 barrels."

Buffy quickly completed the handover, and the original compensation of the Kingdom of Durella was 3,000 barrels of wine per year.

Both the Kogiac Kingdom and the Sea and Land Kingdoms were one-time compensations, giving land.

The rest of the kingdoms are paid in installments, some annually, not sure until what year.

"Okay, that's fine." Lawrence looked at the ship's sailors, who didn't look strong and were shorter.

That's not what Lawrence wants to see.

"Buffy, is Durela's harvest okay this year?"

Buffy quickly lowered his head, "Very good, when I went to the country vineyard, I saw a large harvest of wheat, to be honest, I think many nobles will be sad this year because of the drop in food prices." ”

When there is a good harvest of grain, the price of grain will be reduced, which is not a good thing for the aristocracy who holds a lot of land.

If the harvest fails, only a portion of the nobility will be affected, and the rest of the nobility who are not in the area will be able to increase their prices, while the land-scarce city dwellers will be more likely to be in debt.

Buying grain from the land of abundant harvest at a low price and then selling it to food-poor countries and cities is the practice of most nobles and grain merchants.

Lawrence looked into the distance, "I still hope that everyone can have enough to eat, and I hope that those businessmen can stop in moderation." ”

Buffy respectfully said, "Yes, merciful prophet." ”

Lawrence hopes that the population of each country will rise, and that the nation of stars, which has excellent organization and technology, will not be afraid of simple people.

If there are not many outsiders, many commercial and economic arts will not develop.

The times always need geniuses, and the more people there are, the easier it is to produce geniuses.

"It's still a long time before winter, let's go to the tavern for a drink, and then you go and ask the international students in Durela, I asked them, they all said they would like to stay, maybe many people still want to go home, wait for you to ask, if anyone wants to go back, take them back."

"They want to stay, and if they don't, it's normal, and everyone wants to go home and be with their families."

Buffy and a few other businessmen soon go to dinner and drink with Lawrence, and then visit some aristocratic ladies.

"I'm not going back."

Female aristocrats are reluctant to go back, they can earn their own money to buy luxury goods here, and they can also live freely, without being bound by their families, and bear any aristocratic obligations to marry the old man.

Men also have titles and honors to go back to inherit, plus they can come back again after they go back, so they go back a few.

Lawrence quickly asked the Durella merchant to relay his request, hoping that more male aristocrats would come to study abroad, and that the proportion of women should not exceed half, and the less the better.

There is a shortage of men in the country of stars, and this problem has not been solved for more than five years, and Lawrence prefers to have excellent men from the outside world come over.

This time, there are quite a few men in captivity, and they are currently being reformed at a rate of one a day, and whoever behaves well sits and eats and joins the production team to work.

At first, the rest of the captives thought that the captured man was dead, but when they saw these people eating and drinking with the Bumishians, they knew what they were doing every day, and soon they were ready to work.

In an environment where food, drink, and shelter were guaranteed, even when they had weapons in their hands during the day, these captives, who lacked leaders, did not resist.

The rest of the people were not abused, plus they surrendered on their own initiative, and there was still a base camp for wizards around, so it wasn't just a random shout, and the rest followed.

In fact, many people in the city of Tranta's Hoof have heard of the legends of this land, whether it is playing cards or Aurunzhi powder.

Both the Siddlers and the Vakiri joined in, and the Tranda Hoofers wanted to join even if they couldn't beat them, and they didn't care if it was the king, the noble, or the prophet.

This group of barbarian captives was not as difficult to accept as Lawrence thought, but Lawrence refused to give them a chance to join directly, and had to take his time.

This year, Lawrence helped the Wakiri plant a lot of potatoes, and after the wheat was harvested, more than 900 male captives were sent to Wakiri to dig potatoes.

Lawrence stood under the Colossus of the Prophet to see off the departing prisoners of war and overseers.

Lawrence said seriously: "The Overseer can drink a glass of vodka a day, and he can eat two eggs and a pound of meat a day. ”

"As for you captives, I will allow you to drink a glass of vodka every day after your work, and accept the advice on the improvement of the drink."

"But there is a premise, that is, you nine hundred and forty-five men, each of whom must dig up more than 1,500 catties of potatoes every day!"

"Labor is rewarded! The country of stars does not raise idlers, and the 100 people who work the hardest, I will introduce you to single women, or help you bring your family to live here! ”

The people of Trantahoof have never drunk vodka, but they know it to be a good liquor.

However, there is enough black bread here, and there is hot water to drink, which is very good.

Even without alcohol, the captives embraced the vibes on this side.

More than 900 people were divided into 30 groups and distributed to various farms in Wakiri.

Soon the Trandahoof people were digging potatoes with the local Vakiri, and because of the common language, they quickly became acquainted.

In the evening, Lawrence returns to Oak City and Kehallan to study crops.

For three years, Keharan has been cultivating plants and medicinal herbs, and through the cultivation of native cabbage, four subspecies have now been obtained.

Brussels sprouts, a vegetable that looks like a lump of turnips.

Kale, a kind of ornamental cabbage with colorful leaves like peonies.

Cabbage, a subspecies between Chinese cabbage and cabbage, is currently trying to be cultivated in the direction of Chinese cabbage.

Rape sprouts and rape flowers, like the above three, are cold-tolerant vegetables, and the seeds can be pressed for oil and can produce small yellow flowers. (End of chapter)
