Chapter 31: Recovering the Old Things

Lawrence sat by the window and watched the sun shine on the crib.

The little baby who has just been born for more than a day is sleeping peacefully in swaddling clothes, the sun is shining at the end of the bed, and the little baby is lying in the shadow of the bed, surrounded by warm plush.

Lawrence looked at this son with emotion, "Little guy, you are so lucky, you are just born, and you have everything." ”

"I'll give you a piece of land and make you king there, and I'll call it Denmark."

There were also Candace and Emma in the house, and the shepherdess was here, but because the winter was not completely over, and Lawrence did not drive anyone, so she stayed all the time.

Candace asked, "Where is Denmark?" ”

Lawrence smiled, "I don't know, you can go anywhere, anyway, we don't lack land, and when Anders grows up, we won't lack people." ”

"Maybe in a dozen years, we will have 500,000, or more than a million people."

Emma lacked a clear understanding of the millions, "A million? ”

Lawrence looked at a few people, the shepherdess basically didn't speak, and she wouldn't talk if she didn't take the initiative to ask her, while Emma and Candace were more active because they were closer, and they basically didn't put on a dignified appearance when they got along.

"Yes, that's a conservative number." Lawrence gently explained: "It took us seven or eight years to go from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and now every family has six or seven children, and in ten years there will definitely be 500,000 people." ”

"If we continue to fight, a million is not too difficult."

Not only will the population of the Kingdom of the Stars grow, but so will the population of the outer kingdoms.

After removing most of the tax revenues, the country of stars now provides far more benefits to farmers than any agricultural nation in the time of the earth.

Although most of the peasants in the Land of the Stars are slaves and are born slaves, it doesn't matter if they are slaves or not, the important thing is that they are well fed, clothed, and have houses to live in, land and livestock to cultivate and raise, and there are no external threats and wild beasts.

Emma still didn't have a clear idea of half a million and a million, and said with a smile, "That's great! ”

Lawrence smiled as well.

Feeling no emotional value.

Looking outside, Lawrence quickly got up and said, "I'm going to exercise, and the little one will be left to you to take care of." ”

"Yes, master." Emma and the others quickly agreed.

Even when speaking this formula, it is Emma and Candace's voices that dominate, and the shepherdess's voice is basically non-existent.

Lawrence walked out of the children's room, feeling that life was suddenly a little monotonous.

"Why do you think so?"

"It's probably because I started thinking about my life after I had a child, and the people around me have gradually become accustomed to it and lost that freshness."

"The most important thing is that there is no emotional value, there is no kind of confidante who can be like-minded."

"Even if there were, I quickly got used to it again, and became a pillow man and a slave girl who gradually lost interest."

Lawrence thinks about his life, "It's better to do something meaningful, or something that interests you." ”

"I'm really annoyed by this kind of thing of governing the country, like other wizards who pursue immortality and knowledge and the like, and I actually don't like it either."

"Then pursue power!"

Lawrence quickly set a goal for himself, otherwise it would be boring to live in such a monotonous life all day.

The birth of a child can be regarded as unlocking the constraints of genes and life on oneself.

The history of human beings is inherited by writing, and the history of animals and plants is inherited by genes, and wizards seem to be more in line with the laws of the latter, and they all have the genetic task of reproduction.

After a witch has offspring, her body will no longer be passively conceived.

Delenn, under Lawrence's attitude, also did not expect too much from this child.

Both Delenn and Delenn's mother, Loshanda, are strange to the arrival of this new life.

This is very much in line with the habits of wizards, most of whom do not have the habit of raising their offspring themselves.

Kassandra and Catherine's mother was locked up in the tower because they lost control, and their father didn't care much about them.

Delen belongs to the tribal heirs, not a simple mother-daughter relationship.

Sariel was abandoned to her father at an early age, Sophia and her dead mother were also cold, and Keharan also left her daughter to be raised by someone else.

In the cognition of Delen and other witches, this child has nothing to do with them after birth, and will be sent away in the future.

Very few witches take the baby herself, and even the witches who nurse their children are almost none.

So it's no wonder that Salil has no feelings for her mother, and Lolita even almost crippled her mother and grandmother who stole her food and laughed at her.

The master-servant relationship is the most suitable for witches, not adoptive fathers or husband and wife siblings, and most witches do not have the concept of family affection.

The child's mission to the witch is the genetic one, just like the flowering and fruiting of the plant, which is something that must be done when it is due.

For male wizards, it is also a genetic shackle.

When there are offspring, the shackles in this area are like flowers that bear fruit, and they naturally wither.

Delen's witchcraft will be weakened, and having a child is a weakening for a witch, after all, it is such a large mass of energy from the body, and it is impossible to become stronger after giving birth to a child.

Lawrence has only lost the shackles, and without the interference at the genetic level, his mind will be clearer when doing things.

Lawrence decided to get stronger, and in order to live a few more years for himself, he decided to pick up the wellness activities that had been delayed.

The first is to strengthen the physical training, starting with farming!

Lawrence went to the warehouse to retrieve the hoe he had stopped using for many years.

"Well, it's back again." Lawrence sighed, and reluctantly grabbed the wooden handle of the hoe.

If you want to harness the power of the church, you have to follow the rules yourself.

The power of the Church of the Stars is not the foundation, but the light that lasts like candles and light bulbs.

Without output, there is no utilization.

It is useless for others to believe that Lawrence is strong, and if Lawrence wants to gain this power, he must follow the rules.

A true god can certainly use any power at will, Lawrence is not, Lawrence positions himself as a prophet to the outside world.

The doctrine of the Land of the Stars is that hard work is rewarded, and this is a slight modification of Lawrence's understanding of the legend of the barbarians who died heroically in battle to heaven.

The people of the Land of Stars believe that hard work pays off.

This diligence does not necessarily mean that it will be rewarded, first of all, in the teachings of the Land of Stars, this is a God-given land.

Industriousness is one of the ways to please the god of the stars, because of diligence, the god of the stars gives divine power to this land, so that everyone's efforts are rewarded.

Diligence can obtain a good harvest on the land, and you can also enjoy life comfortably after hard work, and drink and sleep comfortably in winter.

If you go out to get rich and come back, it is a doctrinal act to rest, not laziness.

After several mobilizations and successive harvests, the teachings of the Land of Stars have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, where the lazy will be despised, and no one will marry the lazy.

The attitude towards the lazy is similar to the attitude towards the coward, only slightly more severe.

Therefore, Lawrence can't rely on simple training to become stronger, and if he wants to rely on the power of the Star Country, he must first do something that is in line with the teachings.

Kill the enemy in battle...... Lawrence didn't want to go.

Diligent government and love for the people are not industrious, no matter how Lawrence says it is useless, the key is whether others believe it or not.

The area was mostly populated by illiterate savages, as well as empty-minded slave peasants who simply couldn't understand how tired it was in the castle office and didn't believe in it at all.

If nothing else, Sariel and the others don't believe this.

Lawrence always thought he was very hardworking before, but others didn't believe him, and the annoyed Lawrence can only do things according to the rules, using less brains and more hands.

There are only two ways to become strong in accordance with local teachings.

Go into battle and kill the enemy.

Honest work.
