"Prophet, a lot of businessmen have been coming lately."

Beoff finds Lawrence and reports to Lawrence about the anomaly in Iceport.

Lawrence has recently been busy expanding his territory and houses, as well as developing the Steel's domain.

Hearing that something was going on on Wakiri's side, Lawrence quickly inquired about the anomaly.

"Where is the merchant? Could it be the merchants of the East? ”

Lawrence was no longer too worried about the Southern Church, and more concerned about the rumored Eastern Isles, where wizards gathered.

Beoff replied, "I have not seen any merchants from the East, but recently many merchants from Pig's Trotter City have come to the Cold Ice Harbor, and the peasants of the Steer Territory have also come in small boats to do business, and exchange their clothes with dogs and pigs and chickens and grain. ”

Lawrence was relieved to hear that it was such a businessman.

"I see, it's okay with this, don't worry about them."

"But the Prophet," Beoff had a lot of trouble, "there are merchants in the Cold Harbor, and our merchants here do not welcome those who come from outside, so I would like to ask you for guidance. ”

Lawrence reminded: "You are the governor of Ice Harbor and a barbarian, although I want you to be civilized, but the premise of civilization is to ensure that your words are heard, and your men may forget that you are a berserker." ”

"I think it's important for you to tell them that, you can't always listen to them."

Beoff still didn't understand, "You said the prophet that merchants should be encouraged to come and trade, and merchants should be encouraged to develop. ”

"That was before!" Lawrence said seriously: "Do you know the reason for the emergence of merchants now? Have you ever wondered why there are so many businessmen recently? ”

"I think it's the prophet that has spread the word, and more and more businessmen know about us." Beoff came up with a plausible explanation.

Lawrence shook his head, a little disappointed.

Beoff was taught by Lawrence to think more from an early age, and was thrown to learn to fight with the not-so-powerful Reglow, and was completely raised.

In addition to being able to brag and look bluffing, Reglo's combat ability is actually not strong at all, except for sneak attacks and assassinations, he has never had any glorious achievements.

After escaping from Vakiri, he was beaten down as a slave by several Ugs, and later he was scared when he heard that Saliel was the daughter of a berserker, and he was beaten down by Keharan, thinking that Lawrence himself could hold out in front of Deren for a while!

Beoff didn't learn anything from Reglo except for messing around and working, but fortunately, he later went out to fight with Fryce, Durand and others, and learned a lot.

"You will have a large number of local merchants there, mainly because the output of the land is enough to feed everyone, but people's desires do not stop because they are full."

"For example, the Wakiri people want more comfortable clothes, better houses, more good wine."

"So the merchant appeared!"

Lawrence explains: "Not only here but also in the West there will be more and more craftsmen and merchants, and the higher the grain production, the more service industry, and the more slaves will be." ”

"At present, this is not obvious, and in a few years, when the price of grain will drop sharply after the grain production increases, more people will not be able to exchange wheat for the salt and cloth they need, then they will become serfs of the nobility."

"There are a large number of merchants, it can only be said that the land can no longer bind the peasants, and I think the lords everywhere do not want the serfs in the territory to leave, they will do everything possible to make these people bound to the land forever."

"Look, this year there will be a lot more orders for weapons from the West, and they will buy more weapons to arm their knights to suppress the peasants."

These may be in the next two or three years, or in the next ten years or so, and a reaction process is required.

At present, the main reason for this situation is that there is no tax, and there is no corresponding household registration system to tie up, and the character of the barbarians is relatively casual, so many people wander to Cold Ice Harbor and Pumixiu Town with curiosity to see the excitement.

If there was an intervention from a noble lord, these people would continue to farm on the land to collect grain, feed their families, and pay taxes and food.

The lords everywhere were suppressing the merchants and preventing the large number of peasants from becoming merchants who were not engaged in production and were on the move.

The feudal aristocratic lords were disgusted with merchants from the bottom of their hearts, because these merchants really could do things, and they would really have a negative impact on the territory.

Beoff didn't understand Lawrence's explanation of why the merchant came into being, but at least he knew what to do about it.

"Prophet, do I just need to beat up those who oppose me?" Beoff wanted it to be simpler.

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, as long as you keep my rule, the local market will be balanced, and those who try to make trouble will be beaten, and there will be a set of dark rules in the Cold Harbor." ”

The game of merchants does not need to be managed, as long as it does not affect the rule of the upper echelons.

The Middle Ages will use the local methods of the Middle Ages, which may seem barbaric and dark, but in fact, everyone is willing to respect the laws and majesty of the country of stars, and not put violence on the surface, then it is civilization in this era! It's the advanced order!

"What you have to do is very simple, is to establish absolute majesty, you are the governor of the Cold Ice Harbor, not the microphone of those merchants and warriors, don't let the will of those people affect you, use your fists to break that layer of bondage!"

Beoff looked at Lawrence as if he didn't understand, "Prophet, I understand your request, but I'm still a little confused. ”

"I've always believed that it's not that you can win and decide everything, you said that the world is civilized, and it's not the kind of simple world where you can decide everything if you win a fight."

Lawrence wondered, "What do you think of the world?" ”

Beoff spoke his mind sincerely.

"I don't think even the strongest berserker, even the god of war, can manage this world."

"If this world could really solve all its problems with its fists, Lofen III would not have died, and even if his fists beat others, he would be assassinated and attacked and drowned in the filthy sea."

Lawrence showed a look of surprise, he didn't expect that Beoff, who he thought was a waste, not only awakened the Berserker ability, but even his brain learned to think.

Does dying once make such a big difference?

Lawrence pondered this outrageous thing, and some people come to their senses after a near-death experience, as if they were a different person.

Beov went berserk during the last naval battle, and to say that the force has increased, this is a rare thing in the Barbarian Kingdom, but it is not bizarre.

On the contrary, the brain has learned to think, which is a bit outrageous.

"The main reason for the assassination is that after the success, the harvest is huge, and after the failure, I don't know who did it, so the initiator doesn't have to worry about this."

"We are different here, whoever dares to assassinate me, I will let him bury his whole family with him!"

Lawrence has also been on the lookout for assassinations and is experienced in how to guard and levee.

"You just need to train normally, and I'll explain these things to Oraua and the rest of the barons in Vakiri."

As long as you have an army in your hands and a backer behind you, it's basically no problem.

If there really were bold Vakiri who wanted to assassinate them, then Lawrence would have to let them know that they were powerful.

Beoff was guided to solve the problem and went back to solve the problem with his fists.

Lawrence also began to solve the problems on his side.

It's true that there is no tax here, but there is food!

Stahl and Pig's Trotter City used to enforce the rules of other people's houses, and from this year onwards, the rules of the Star Nation will be enforced here.

The land here is all Lawrence's land, which Lawrence bought in exchange for the war, and the seeds, farm tools, and livestock used by the rest of the people are all provided by Lawrence, so is the grain.

Lawrence migrated the people of Steel's territory to areas far from the roads, leaving enough food to feed them each year, as well as some pots and pans and cloth, as well as some chickens and sheep.

These people only need to live in a stable farming life, and the surplus grain and sideline harvest can also be exchanged for sideline food in the town.

So that there is no need for merchants.

Lawrence created a paradise for these people, who only needed to thrive industriously, and farm for Lawrence in exchange for protection and food.

Otherwise, they won't be allowed to do anything else, and they won't let the barbarian beasts outside threaten them.

Reserve population is the direction of Lawrence's development, and the population of the Star Nation is too small to support the high quality of life of a large number of extraordinary nobles.

Lawrence thinks about his life right now.

In terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, they basically exceeded the earth period.

The material used in the clothes is not a cheap industrial product, nor is it a rough cloth that does not keep warm, and it may not be as good as the earth in some techniques and design concepts, but it is enough in terms of warmth.

In terms of food, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar have also been developed, and most ingredients can be substituted for monosodium glutamate, at least it is better than ordinary people on the earth.

In terms of accommodation, it should be exceeded.

Even if there is air conditioning on the earth, it will still be hot, it will still be cold, and I am here now because of my status, I don't have to worry about being hot or cold.

You don't need to be too fast to get around, and although it's true that it's not as good as the earth, it doesn't feel bad.

There are no mobile videos and online games, but are they needed?

Lawrence didn't feel like he needed online games, as he had a lot of government to attend to every day, kings and princes of various countries writing letters to himself, and all sorts of diplomatic and national development matters to deal with.

Spiritual needs, far exceeded.

Lawrence believes that he is certainly not as delicate and comfortable as the politicians of the earth, but he is definitely freer than them!!

No one is restrained, no foreign threat is present, and he is a unique prophet and law-maker.

"Sure enough, it's better now."

Lawrence doesn't need a cell phone at all, and now it's good to live a slower pace,

With no worries about food and clothing, there are many people to chat with, many people to laugh with, and countless things to deal with, life is very fulfilling.

In the winter, when the sun is warmer, Lawrence sits on a recliner in the room, basking in the sun from the outside, feeling extremely content.

Lawrence loves the land of the stars more than anyone else.
