"Holy Maiden Academy......" Khallan thought it was a little interesting.

Keharan quickly looked at Losanda, "What do you think?" ”

Loshanda nodded solemnly and looked at the young and capable Lawrence in front of him.

"It's a very important thing, and the growth of families, tribes, and towns is all related to the core members."

"The more witches we have, it's like a fueled flame, the more flames there are, the longer they last."

Keharan remembered something else, "If there are more wizards, it is easy to give birth to new wizards and high-level wizards when they are gathered. ”

"But it's also prone to collapse." Kehalan reminded Lawrence, "There are many organizations in history that have collapsed because they absorbed troublesome wizards, and they are usually related to male wizards. ”

Lawrence is also worried about the existence of male wizards, and so far he has not encountered male wizards who can talk normally, and many male wizards act as if they are mentally ill and cannot be quiet.

Either it's too dangerous, such as a scary ability like mind control, or it's just a matter of getting things done.

Because of this, Lawrence doesn't like wizards.

"I said, we don't need wizards, it's enough to have me!" Lawrence's tone was unmistakable, very affirmative.

Keharan quickly nodded and said, "So that's it, how to do it?" ”

Lawrence had a rough plan, "Start with the basics, first of all, find people who can do it, and we have a shortage of people here to recruit bright kids from all over the villages and cities." ”

Whether it's the pursuit of science and technology, or the layout of witchcraft research, people are needed.

"Emerald first imparted knowledge and words to the dark elves, and some well-behaved maids, mainly young people and children."

"We started with herbology and naturalism, and became familiar with various materials, such as gunpowder and saltpeter."

Lawrence couldn't think of any wizarding materials, so he added gunpowder and saltpeter.

"Tell everyone how to use these dangerous things safely, and at the same time contact the outside world, and take in some witches and witches who have not awakened from the outside world."

"In the future, we will have no wizards here, and we will not have the title of witch or witch."

"For example, I am a prophet, Sariel, they are saints, and so are you, you can usually be called by name and position, basically nothing has changed."

Kehalan and Loshanda have no opinion.

Jade and Isabel are both witches who have fled, and they naturally have no opinion when they see that others are willing to change their names.

Candace and the others also have no opinion, they are not wizards, and now they have a chance to learn, and they are very grateful to Lawrence.

Lawrence soon calls back Saliel and the others, and Saliel and Sophia have not been aware of being witches since they were children, and they don't care about the identity of witches.

Kassandra and Catherine are formally educated witches, but they understand the situation and accept the premise at Lawrence's behest.

Lawrence soon discovers that things are not going well!

"Witches are just good!" Lawrence sincerely admired, "Sure enough, the witch is good!" ”

It's comfortable to live with a witch who is extremely obedient, so don't be a witch!

After deciding on the plan, Lawrence did not sit idle and soon began to lay the groundwork.

***

The town of Bhumixiu

Lawrence summoned several local consuls in the conference room.

"This year's grain has been harvested, check the population of various places before the winter, and at the same time bless those who get married this year."

Lawrence couldn't keep up his hands now, so he delegated power.

"The marriage between Vakiri and the people of Flying Fish Harbor does not need to come to me to seek blessings, but only needs to be notarized by more than fifty believers in the local church."

This year's grain harvest was abundant, and a large amount of potatoes and wheat were harvested from the large amount of farmland reclaimed by the Flying Fish Harbor, as well as the territory of Siddle and the territory of Vakiri, as well as the town of Phumesiu.

Even if there are more than 10,000 people this year, this food will be enough for everyone to eat until the next year.

Alekmu of Flying Fish Harbor looks at Lawrence and reports on the situation in Flying Fish Harbor.

"This year, both the Haisenri and Hokuriku kingdoms have harvested one-third more wheat than usual, and with the use of our seeds and technology, food production has increased a lot in many nearby places."

Alikmu said with a calm expression that remained unchanged: "The price of grain this year is much lower than in previous years, most of the grain cannot be sold, and it is expected that there will be many more slaves this year and next year." ”

It's not a good thing that food prices are too low, especially since farmers in other countries have to pay taxes and pay money.

If the food produced cannot be sold for a price, it will have to be taxed in other ways, and even a large amount of debt will be incurred.

Ancient history taught Lawrence to understand these things, and that was the problem of distribution.

The existence of the Western aristocracy and the privileged class has influenced the way of distribution, taking all the output of the land to themselves, and then forcing the people of the land to contribute more wealth.

If the peasant cannot contribute wealth other than food, he must contribute labor, livestock, and even his own children and lives.

Alikmu knew that this kind of thing would happen, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter, it was a normal law.

But Alikmu didn't know how to solve these problems, and he didn't realize the negative impact that his nobles had on such things.

Lawrence doesn't explain this, now his population here is not as good as the outside world, and his background is not as good as the outside world, and he can always suppress the outside world because of a more civilized distribution method and organization.

"We can buy some grain to make ale and vodka, and we can exchange our processed products here for supplies from the outside world."

"I have asked Isabella, the royal daughter of the kingdom of Gran, that there is a black ore produced in the kingdom of Gran, which I will name coal, and we will exchange grain and iron for coal there."

With the expansion of the Fort and the improvement of iron-making technology, a large number of people joined the blacksmith shops to start producing ironware, and the shortage of fuel grew.

Lawrence couldn't find a coal mine on his side, so he inquired from the other fourteen kingdoms, and simply found the corresponding items from the students in the kingdom of Gran.

Alekmu asked, "In that case, will we have to mint some more currency?" There are not enough copper coins nowadays, and it will be heavy to carry too much. ”

Lawrence had already planned this, "I've had silver and gold coins made, and this year I'm going to make some banknotes that I made with my own hands, which can be exchanged for more supplies from me." ”

"For example, Haisen Rikap, who often trades with us, Buffy, a red wine merchant, York, the Marquis of Hokuriku, etc., everyone can buy paper currency [10,000 yuan coupons] worth 10,000 catties of refined salt."

"This 10,000 yuan currency is equivalent to the price of 10,000 catties of refined salt, which can be exchanged for the currency represented by the salt of the corresponding value, which will be affected by the fluctuation of the exchange price at that time."

"But it's light enough to trade, and I'll tell them the corresponding password, and if their heirs come and trade with the money, and say the right password, then I'll approve of their wealth."

Lawrence plans to set up banks in Ferry Harbor and Flying Fish Harbor, which are not yet available, so he has to take care of it himself.

Fortunately, the few long-term trading partners that I trust at present are relatively stable, and it will not be too troublesome for the time being.

After a few years, he will be able to develop all walks of life.

After the monetary matter was settled, Salavin of Ferry Port threw out a new problem.

"There are a lot of children this year, more than 1,000 people have been counted by me, and almost all the women on the streets of Ferry Harbor are going to have children!"

"If you have a baby at the same time, there will be no one to work in the port."

After Seravan said the problem of Dumu Port, Alikmu also said: "There are also a large number of pregnant women in Feiyu Port this year, and there is no problem with food, but there are too many pregnant women. ”

Lawrence was very happy, "This is a normal thing, because there are very few old people in our territory, most of them are young men and women, especially after there is enough food and the land is expanded, which is a wave of fertility." ”

"Give more food to those who are pregnant, and the pregnant woman can get a chicken that can lay eggs, ten pounds of cloth, and a clean water tank."

"If you don't have enough food, you can talk to me and I'll coordinate it."

This year, the entire country of stars can increase the number of new students by at least 3,000, especially in Ferry Harbor, where the largest number of people gather, basically all adults, and few children.

There are more children in the manor and the town of Phumesiu, all born a few years ago, but families are constantly reproducing.

Beoff asked, "What if I can't live in a place?" ”

"Then build a new village!" Lawrence affirmed, "There is a lot of open space in the territory of Steel, there are many fields to be cultivated, and a lot of people are needed to build villages. ”

"We have only developed a very small part of our territory in the west, and if there is a family in the town with more than 20 people, then give them a safe place 50,000 to 60,000 meters away where they can set up a village, and the nearby land can be cultivated for them."

"But I must make it clear to everyone that the land of the land of the stars is mine, and their industriousness can be exchanged for harvest in the land, and in exchange for God's attention."

"If the land has been abandoned for more than three years, then it means that they are not suitable for the land, and they will be expelled from the country of the stars as a free people when the time comes."

"Besides, you all have a mission!"

Lawrence looked at the archons of several districts, his expression becoming serious.

The rest of the people listened attentively.

"In the future, there will be a lot of children growing up in various regions, and even now there are many bright children and young people in various places."

"If someone is a fast learner, smart enough, and loyal enough, then I recommend him to come to me to learn."

"I will arrange for someone to conduct an assessment, and if it is indeed a smart boy or girl, or a knowledgeable man or woman, then the recommender will be rewarded."

"If enough talents are found and all of them have passed the assessment on my side, then I will award the reward to the Lord after accumulating to a certain level."

"Lord is a temporary title under the baron, representing status and honor, and further a lord."

"Now you are not lords, but consuls, and many of you are not good at fighting, but our gracious God has noticed the efforts of some of you."

Lawrence looked at Seravin and Alekmu, as well as Turaka and Navia, as well as several newly promoted civilians.

"Governing is certainly not as good as those who fight to the death on the battlefield, but as long as you remain humble and loyal, and continue to work diligently, then you can earn the title of Lord."

"If it is a great achievement, I will consider conferring on you a hereditary knighthood."

Hereditary inheritance can also be divided into many kinds, hereditary demotion, hereditary second and third generations, hereditary fourth and fifth generations, and permanent hereditary.

After encouraging the people, Lawrence arranged for the winter, as well as the construction of the western and southern kingdoms of Steel.

In previous years, houses were being built every year, and now Lawrence's construction team is getting bigger, more experienced, and more skilled.

This year and next year, a large number of construction teams will go to the west and south to work, and at the same time, some young people will be recruited from the local serfs to give experience, and further cultivate a larger construction team.

In the future, as the population grows, more and more houses and cattle and sheep sheds will be needed.

The Kingdom of Stars is booming, and the population of several kingdoms in the West is also increasing rapidly due to the bumper grain harvest.

The explosion of population, the rapid improvement of ship technology, and the large demand for trade and shipping have led countries to pay attention to the development of navigation technology.

The Oak soon left the port of the ferry and took the students from all over the world south to the stormy sea, starting the first trip south.

On board were royal daughters like Isabella, and noblewomen like Safi, as well as many goods and musical instruments from the port of the ferry, and two hundred barbarian soldiers.

The entire fleet consisted of twenty large ships, and in addition to trading southward, some serfs would also be recruited to work in the Land of Stars.

The number of people in the country of stars is too small now, and more people must be recruited to work in the past.

Instead of buying slaves, they spent money to recruit people to work, and when they had worked for three or five years, they would be sent back, and a repatriation money would be given to them to return to their hometowns to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law.

This is civilization! (End of chapter)
