Chapter 54: Confidence and Hole Cards

After the Fried Chicken Festival, much of the Land of Stars is busy collecting fuel wood.

Children and women began to collect twigs in the nearby forests, and people from the lumberyards brought back fuel for their families.

This year, the town of Pumixiu has expanded a circle of houses to form a unique first and second ring area.

The first ring is near the Colossus of the Prophet in the middle of the town, which is the center of the whole town and the most sacred place.

The cross streets outside the central area belong to the building body, collectively referred to as the first ring building.

After the population increased, the cross street began to spread outward, and after being separated from the previous building by 20 meters, a second ring road was built around the outside of the ring road, and the road in the middle was also called the second ring road.

Outside the Second Ring Road is the Second Ring Road.

Dig up what can be dug up in the nearby mountains, and pile up stones and dirt directly on the mountains if you can't, and build houses directly on the hills, forming buildings of different heights.

Lawrence rode the avian lizard to the outside of the town, and standing near the farmland, he could hear the distant noise of building houses and the cries of the soldiers as they practiced.

This winter, small forces will be sent out to plunder, and a hundred men will be drawn from each place to form a corps of five hundred men to disperse the battle.

The purpose was to strike at the local nobility's guards, and there was no requirement to capture the prisoners.

If you can catch it, you can catch it, and give priority to ensuring that your food is enough to eat, and it is convenient to fight.

Lawrence now has little need for population, and his first task is to annex the city of Tranta's Hoof so that the population there is his own.

The current town of Bhumixiu can't accommodate much of a population, and the current food and fuel reserves are also a bit tight.

If you starve to death, it will affect your side.

Lawrence came to the church, and the man in the church yard had been waiting for a long time.

An expressionless Alekmu bowed to Lawrence.

"Prophet, this year the wheat harvest in the port of Flying Fish has been completed, and two thousand two hundred and seven baskets of wheat, one thousand baskets of rye, five hundred baskets of barley, and two hundred baskets of oats have been harvested."

Lawrence nodded, pleased with the staff of the Io Kingdom.

The command ability on the opponent's battlefield is okay, and it is better than most barbarians who can use their brains, that is, they are berserkers who cannot command as high-end combat power.

In terms of internal affairs, Raven is also a little better, able to preside over the production of the territory and stabilize most of the affairs of the territory.

However, the technology is backward, the thinking is backward, and the management method is also backward, which is very incompatible with my own here, so it seems useless.

Judging from this era, Alikmu is already a rare all-rounder.

Able to manage the internal affairs of the territory, have a strategic plan, have good personal force, understand the affairs between nobles, and are not as arrogant as ordinary nobles, and look down on others.

"Well, we have too much to do this year, we haven't had time to reclaim more land, and water conservancy facilities and animal husbandry haven't really developed."

"It's already very good to have a harvest like this, and you're doing a very good job."

Alekmu said calmly, "Yes, Prophet. ”

Lawrence rode his domme sheep outside, "Come with me, and I'll show you the canal we have here." ”

Alekmu quickly followed.

Lawrence glanced back, "Ride your deer, we'll go to the mill later, and according to your cleverness, you should be able to understand our watermill here." ”

Alekmu said respectfully: "I have seen it, and there are some things that I don't understand. ”

"Then come with me and I'll tell you the mystery of the waterwheel." Lawrence was very patient, "In the future, the Flying Fish Harbor will also build a waterwheel." ”

"I plan to open the road between the Agama Mountains and the Port of Flying Fish in the winter, so that the river on the mountain can go down through the dam we have made, and the water wheel will be pushed by the power of the current."

"Ironmaking, irrigation, dough making, paper making, all of these need waterwheels, and you will be busy in the future."

Alekmu pondered about the waterwheel, and soon brought the deer to ride it and follow Lawrence to learn the technique.

Lawrence went on patrol in the mountains with some escorts, and today did not take Sophia, nor Sariel and Catherine.

It's my own kingdom, and it's like walking in your own backyard.

After five or six years, the road has become more and more smooth and natural, and now it takes less than two hours to get from the town of Bhumixiu to the manor, and it can be reached in an hour at a faster pace.

As soon as I got close to the manor, I heard the creaking of a waterwheel.

The flour that comes by sea is prone to moisture, so the wheat is brought in, and most of the year it has been busy, so there is still a lot of wheat that has not been milled.

The waterwheel on this side of the estate was always in operation, and in addition to the original waterwheel, Losanda and the craftsmen built a simple water-powered blower to heat the stove.

Waterwheels, pressurized wells, lumber yards, churches, communal kitchens, storage reservoirs, pots for making potato flour, houses of all kinds, kennels, watchtowers, ......

It was already developing very well, and it should get better and better, but Lawrence and the others moved to Big Oak, which led to the development of this place being maintained when they left.

There weren't many people left, many of them were Kogiac and Durela, and now the place was run by Navia.

Lawrence allowed the nuns to marry and have children, and only stipulated that the saints should serve themselves, and not reluctantly.

The saints are witches such as Sophia, and the nuns are women such as international students and Navia.

At present, there are enough women around him, and Lawrence is not very interested in witches, it is not those witches and witches who come by themselves, Lawrence is not bothered to look for them at all.

It's the same for ordinary people, as Keharan said, it's difficult for himself and ordinary people to have offspring.

There is also the fact that the shelf life of the women here is too short, and five years has already made Emma a little deformed, and Lawrence doesn't want a group of aunts around him to flatter him in two or three years.

Except for witches, ordinary women will quickly become fat and round by Emma's age.

Now Emma still has the beauty of a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, but she looks like thirty-five or sixteen in a civilized society, and she will really become a middle-aged woman in two or three years.

And the same goes for Countess Γ…raua, who is in the last years of her youth.

Lawrence looked in the mirror every day and was relieved to find that he wasn't aging so quickly.

I don't really care so much about the affairs of future generations.,At present, it's still mainly for your own enjoyment.,Like all male wizards, I only care about my own happiness.。

Lawrence and Alecmu went to Ironforge to see the ironworks after seeing the waterwheels.

The artisans here are Lawrence's die-hard supporters, more loyal than those on the outside.

As supporters of Lawrence, these people have also reaped a stable living environment and rich rewards after providing technology and hard work.

Alecmu visited Lawrence's arsenal, technical workshops, logistics base and other places.

On the way down, Alikmu asked, "Prophet, you have told me all this, and you are not worried that I will spread them to the outer kingdoms?" ”

Lawrence smiled confidently, "I really hope that you are like this, so that the outside country can also develop, I hope to use more technology, so that more people can live, and then rely on the strength of more people to make our lives more wonderful props." ”

Alekmu nodded, understanding it as Lawrence's confidence and kindness.

Lawrence didn't care what Alekmu thought, anyway, the technology of making saltpeter gunpowder would not be passed on by himself.

Starting next year, people will be sent to the mountains to plant saltpeter, collect sulfur and other materials, and research artillery that can be equipped on ships.

This naval battle and the wizard's duel made Lawrence realize the gap between himself and the wizard, and if he didn't make a 100-meter distance artillery, he wouldn't be able to fight in the future.

However, next spring and summer will be about the same, and a lot of public toilets have been built in my area of tens of thousands of people, and I may be able to collect a lot of traditional saltpeter next year. (End of chapter)
