The people of the Wave Kingdom were soon brought to the main hall.

Lawrence looked at the woman who had been brought over and saw that there were only a few people who looked like knights besides this woman.

Where is the Witcher?

Lawrence has not yet learned to distinguish between wizards and ordinary people, and can only distinguish them from their temperament and dress.

"What about the rest?" Lawrence asked, sitting in his seat.

Seravin replied, "Prophet, when we captured them, we were met with resistance from the sorcerers, and this is the only one alive, who fell on her knees and begged for mercy, and the rest of the sorcerers have been reduced to corpses. ”

Lawrence's initial idea was indeed to take in the people of the Wave Kingdom, but the actions of these people provoked the order of the Star Country.

There can be no concessions on such important matters, and the Kingdom of Waves can only become history.

They may not be offended, but they are too accustomed to seeing things in a pirate, or a bandit mind.

Lawrence looked at Suliman, who was standing to the side.

Suliman is the captain of the cable team and the surrenderer of the Kingdom of the Waves.

"Suliman, ask this woman what is their purpose and why are you provoking me!"

Suliman quickly responded, looked at the witch again, and asked Lawrence a question.

The witch knelt on the ground, slightly straightened, and looked at Lawrence with a pitiful expression.

"Great Prophet, I am Ginnie, and I beg your pardon for the recklessness of my companions, whom I advised to respect a powerful wizard like you, but they would not listen to me."

This witch is dressed in a colorful costume and has a sexy and hot body, like a tavern girl, but also like a beautiful woman who looks casual.

Lawrence noticed that some people nearby had eyes on the kneeling woman.

Some witches who are not strong do like to use their appearance to seduce others, use their bodies to attach themselves to more powerful wizards, properly show their weak side, and become the resources and trophies of male witches.

Lawrence felt that a normal pure-blood wizard would not be so shameless, this witch was mostly half-blooded, or the kind, with a weaker blood.

What should we do with this witch who is good at seducing people with her posture?

Especially since this witch is still a nobleman of the Wave Kingdom, and she is the one who took the initiative to defect to herself, she must have negotiated with Su Liman and others.

After a short period of thought, Lawrence made a quick decision.

"Leave her to the people of the Kingdom of Gran to deal with, and tell the rest that from now on there will be no Kingdom of Waves here, only the Kingdom of Stars!"

"The people of the Kingdom of Waves are the people of the Kingdom of Stars, no matter what kingdom or language they used to have, now they must have one heart, one mind, and one common thought!"

Lawrence does not admit the existence of the Wave Kingdom, and no one needs to follow the rules of the Wave Kingdom.

Suliman was not yet qualified to disobey and give advice, and Salavin and the rest had no objection to Lawrence's order.

Soon the witch was taken away by a group of people and handed over to a team of messengers led by Prince Gran.

The Kingdom of Gran, who was also a pirate, quickly eliminated the witch and killed it cleanly, completely extinguishing the remnants of the Wave Kingdom.

The Kingdom of the Waves fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Gran, and Lawrence did not take the honor.

The current country of stars needs time to develop, and as long as it takes a few more decades of development, it will have the combat power to truly destroy a kingdom.

Lawrence can't wait a few decades and now has a lot to do every day.

Gather medicine and minerals from the Agama Mountains, and recruit hunters and knights from all over the world to venture into the mountains and explore the location of maps and resources.

Rely on trade and taxes on merchants, as well as the goods it produces, to accumulate wealth, and then use it to gather more knights and adventurers.

There are a large number of children of three or four years old in the territory, and the number of children is increasing, and the number of children between the ages of one and six already accounts for one-third of the number.

In order to better manage these children, Lawrence decided to let some of the women take a break from their jobs and stop working in the fields.

This group of people were mainly the early joiners of the Durella and the Bumishians, some of whom had soldiers in their families, and some of whom were family members of blacksmiths and craftsmen.

As a die-hard follower, Lawrence took a small portion of his rapidly accumulating wealth and asked them to stay at home to take care of their children, take them to church once a week to pray, and select the brightest children to study at church.

At the same time, these men were still half-slaves, volunteering at least three times a year, waiting for Lawrence's orders.

More than 100 women returned to their families from the estates and fields, and the large number of foreign laborers did not delay the summer and autumn farm work.

Now that grain production in the West has increased and food prices have fallen, Lawrence has used force here to open the door to other countries, so there is no need to worry about food for the time being.

Flying Fish Harbor and Steel's territory are full of cultivators, and these people only need to farm for Lawrence every year, exchanging grain for industrial supplies.

After a while, the prince of the kingdom of Glen came to visit Lawrence.

The relationship between the two sides was not bad, and Lawrence did not have to be overly wary of these people, and negotiated with their church in the town of Phumetheus.

"Honorable Prophet."

Prince Richard, who was in his twenties, was very respectful to Lawrence and recognized the powerful and benevolent prophet.

"I have been here for three months, I have seen and learned a lot here, and I will return to my kingdom the day after tomorrow, and if I have the opportunity in the future, please allow me to visit again."

Lawrence smiled, "Of course, I welcome you. ”

Richard was glad that Lawrence said this, "Thank you for your generosity, my father, the king of the kingdom of Glen, has written to me that three coal mines have been established in my country, and the first coal will be delivered here this fall." ”

Lawrence was even happier, "That's great, I need a lot of things here, and I'm grateful to the countries for helping us." ”

Richard asked, "How much coal do you need here each year?" ”

"The more the merrier!" Lawrence affirmed: "Please tell King Gran that I will take as much as he can carry, and I don't have to worry that I can't use it up here, and I don't have to worry that I will regret it." ”

"Please send a big ship to bring a shipload of coal, and if the black stones can burn, I will buy them all."

Lawrence felt that what he said might not be accurate enough, "I can sign a contract with you to buy five million tons of coal first!" ”

Richard looked at Lawrence in astonishment, and his brain couldn't imagine how many five million tons of coal there were.

"Great Prophet, are you really willing to buy those black stones that have been dug out of the ground?"

"These things are not strong at all, and they are very difficult to burn, so they are not as good as wood."

Lawrence smiled: "We still have to keep the wood here for shipbuilding, you just need to bring me the coal dug out of the mountain, and I will buy it at the price of fifty copper per ton." ”

One copper can buy four palm-sized loaves of bread, and the purchasing power is equivalent to five dollars of the earth, and one ton is two or three hundred.

Coal in modern society is cheap because the mining equipment is well-equipped and the production is large.

Although there is a lot of coal in this world, there are few people, and there is a lack of mining equipment, so it is not easy to collect it by relying on metal ore hoes.

Relatively speaking, there is not much danger in collecting, and in this era, they were the first people to dig coal, and most of the coal mines were open-pit mines, and they could even be dug in the ground.

People in this era also don't have the ability and technology to dig deep coal, and they are looking for the kind of rich ore that can be picked up casually.

It's like iron and copper in the mountains, it takes a long time to dig into the ground.

Generally, when you get underground, you don't dig it, and then find an easy one to dig, anyway, there are many resources.

"Merciful Prophet!" Richard was once again struck by Lawrence's kindness, which made more money than he made from farming and selling wool!

Just by transporting those black fragments that can be seen everywhere here on a large ship, you can earn thousands of copper coins?

"I will convey your words to His Majesty, and the Kingdom of Glan is willing to maintain a long-term friendship with you!"

Lawrence smiled, "Me too." ”

The Kingdom of Stars and the Kingdom of Gran destroyed the Kingdom of Waves together, Lawrence was in charge of fighting, and the Kingdom of Gran was responsible for the follow-up finishing.

The two countries have already established a cooperative relationship militarily, and now that the Wave Kingdom has completely collapsed, the two sides have reached a further cooperation in business.

If selling coal was more profitable than selling wool and grain, then the nobles of the Kingdom of Gran would be willing to dig up coal and sell it.

Anyway, you can buy cheap food from outside, and now that the nine countries have joined forces to form an alliance, there is no need to worry about food at all.

Even if the rest of the country refuses to sell, the benevolent nation of stars will definitely be willing to sell grain to the kingdom of Glen.

Lawrence quickly bids Richard off and kindly sends a shipwright to instruct them on how to build a larger cargo ship. (End of chapter)
