Winter is fast approaching, and this year's Land of Stars has become busy and noisy.

A large number of children as young as four or five years old are running around the villages and towns, causing trouble.

Everywhere you look, you can see many pregnant women with big bellies coming out to buy groceries and clothes, and pick and choose from clothing shops and butcher shops.

There is something wrong with the traditions of the Frozen Lands, where most men don't want to farm, adults and children don't want to work, so the only way out is to fight in the army, or rob.

Not to mention farming, even if they are left alone to watch the house, they will quickly disappear.

Men like to go to taverns to play cards and drink, and children like to hang out in groups, especially to play confrontational games such as fights.

If you don't want to farm, you can only go to war, so both adults and children advocate violence.

Fortunately, the rules of the church are suppressed, and under the supervision of the patrols, most of them are acquaintances, and they can maintain relative peace.

Women don't want to work in the fields, and pregnancy is the best way to legally refrain from working, so most of the time it's women urging men to stop.

For the able-bodied savage, childbearing was not as dangerous as modern women thought, especially the kind of big-ass women who had given birth to several children.

Men and women don't want to work in the fields, so this kind of thing can only be left to others to do.

Most of the land in the town of Bhumixiu is cultivated by the Durella people, and these hard-working farmers are the main force in agriculture.

Lawrence has no desire to expand externally, but only to build a civilized place and let the world see what civilization looks like.

When you see the light, you can't bear the darkness.

Knowing that there is a place where there is no agricultural tax and food and clothing are distributed to the peasants, then the local peasants will only resist more when they farm and pay taxes.

There is also a gap in the country of stars, the best treatment is in the town of Bhumixiu, and the worst treatment is in the current province of Gran, where people still have to pay taxes, but a little less than before.

Happiness is contrasting, once the slaves under your hands see the world beyond the scope of cognition, then they will no longer be willing to be slaves.

It is clear that he can conquer the world with barbaric force, and Lawrence has to engage in economic civilization construction in this barbaric land.

Fortunately, the barbarians here gradually thought that this was not bad, so they followed Lawrence.

In the expanded castle, Lawrence receives the Bee Witch and her maid Eve.

In front of the Bee Witch lay ten large chests and three barrels.

"This is this year's beeswax and honey, both are the finest honey and wax, and I have made three barrels of mead," said the Bee Witch. ”

Lawrence needs a lot of beeswax every year, and the Holy Light Bead doesn't last long in the eternal night, and high-quality candles are a must-have for high-end families.

"Very well, there are still two months left in the eternal night this year, and you can bring some bees to the Circle Building for the winter before then, and then go back in the spring."

The Bee Witch was more than happy to accept the invitation, "Thank you, merciful prophet. ”

"This year's canola production is not good, and Kharlan says it's because there's not enough pollination, and we have a lot of wind here, and pollinating by the wind isn't ideal, and the reality is that we're going to need bees to do that next year," Lawrence suggested. ”

The Bee Witch looked puzzled, "I don't understand this kind of thing. ”

Lawrence smiled: "It's very simple, just let the bees go over and collect the honey, and take turns collecting the nectar in each flower field in order, so that while getting the same kind of pollen, it can also help the pollination of crops." ”

The bee witch just knows how to do it, she doesn't need to figure out why, "Yes, I see." ”

Lawrence also gave the bee witch some small gifts, there were no waste witches, only Lawrence who couldn't use them.

After entertaining the Bee Witch, Lawrence questioned Candace as she was following.

"What else is going on this year? I've already sent out invitations from Vakiri's side, Aulaua will be coming soon, and the winemaking and shipbuilding business is almost coming to an end, so it seems that there is no rush this year. ”

Candace is now Lawrence's female secretary, mainly because she has a good memory, plus she is strong enough.

"Master, I heard that the sows that the big mountain pig Pige matched in the spring have started to give birth to piglets again, we may be able to select a few to continue to cultivate."

Lawrence had long forgotten about it, and became interested after being reminded.

"Then I'll take a trip to Mount Talim and visit Doug and Pigg and get some food for me."

Candace quickly went and instructed the servants to prepare these.

Lawrence quickly called out to Saliel and Delen, as well as Keharan, who hadn't been back to Mount Talim for a long time.

On his way to Mount Talim, Lawrence decided to visit the dogs on the manor, as well as Fort Furnace.

Pig, a giant wild boar that can be tamed, and Wind, a big black dog that has been tamed and obedient later, are all very powerful animals.

But Lawrence had neglected even the qualities of savages before, and naturally did not notice the superiority of these animals.

At that time, he was so focused on farming and doing business that he completely ignored the role of these supernatural creatures.

There is also the fact that the big pig is too edible and feels difficult to tame, so Lawrence did not try, and directly gave up this option and chose to continue to be a friend and neighbor.

Now that the best taming period has been missed, it is difficult to meet a big boar as smart as Pig.

However, Lawrence did not feel much pity, this kind of friendship that can only last one generation is definitely more suitable for friends.

Now that it has been developed, there is no need to trouble the Dog, and Lawrence will domesticate the domesticated sheep and their relatives to find the best mount to replace the horse.

It doesn't matter if you can't find it, you won't need it in a few decades.

Before Lawrence could get close to the manor, a graceful beast as black as a giant wolf quickly ran over.

"It's a gale." Sariel shouted happily, "The wind is running too fast!" Faster than Lawrence! ”

Lawrence looked at the black beast that was running down from the mountain a few hundred meters away, and said with a frown and dissatisfaction:

"Sariel, I think you have to correct your habit of saying bad things about me anytime and anywhere, it doesn't matter at home, but when you're outside, you have to give me face, don't just use me as an analogy."

At this time, the wind had quickly come to the front of everyone, quickly stopped, crouched a few meters away and shouted softly to Lawrence.

Saliel looked at Lawrence in surprise, "I didn't scold you?" ”

Lawrence said solemnly: "My image on the outside is very important, I don't hate your true temperament, but you should say less about me when you are outside." ”

The wind squatted on the ground, curiously and quietly looking at the men and women who were arguing in front of him.

Its IQ is not low, its instincts and intuition are much stronger than those of ordinary humans, it can clearly feel the atmosphere between its master and hostess, and it is even more intelligent to know that it should shut up and keep quiet at this time.

Sariel didn't know what to do, and she didn't know what she was wrong with, "So what do you want me to do?" Don't speak? ”

Lawrence felt that he and Sariel could not explain clearly, and it was difficult to make a clear specification of some things in words, and he found it difficult to say specific specifications for a while if he wanted to be reasonable.

"I'll talk to you when I get home." Lawrence rode on his horse.

Sariel fell behind angrily, and said to Sophia beside her: "Lawrence has really changed recently, first quarreled with Sophia, and then said that I was wrong, and in a few days I will definitely talk about Delenn and Keharan." ”

Sophia smiled: "The master has not changed, we have grown up, and we now eat more, dress better, and sleep more comfortably, why can't we listen to the master and count us a few words?" ”

After hearing Sophia say this, Saliel thought about it carefully and said thoughtfully: "Sophia is right, so you also think Lawrence has changed, right?" He wouldn't have said ours very often before. ”

Keharan was very helpless at this village girl, looked at Saliel and said, "You should really eat a few more bowls of sweet rice." ”

Keharan quickly rode past the two of them on a sheep, leaving a confused Sariel behind.

The black dog Tempest followed Lawrence, who had grown up in the monastery with um but had always known in his heart that Lawrence was the real master.

Especially when its father, Doug, was lying in front of Lawrence with his belly exposed, the wind thought and instinct told it that this man was the master of the place.

The difference between um the janitor and Lawrence is like the difference between the head of the school and the principal in an elementary school.

Neither um nor Hale the dog trainer could get Blast to do anything to hurt Lawrence.

Lawrence soon went to the kennel farm, where many dogs knew Lawrence, and even some small dogs recognized the situation under the education of the big dogs.

After handing out some dog food that he wouldn't normally eat, Lawrence has even more advocates here in the dog pack.

Lawrence takes the wind to visit Doug, who is a janitor in the orchard of Mount Talim, and the boar pig, who eats and drinks in the mountains for nothing, and takes over many sows every spring and summer.

Pige is getting fatter and fatter now, full of fat and fat, and can casually rub a big tree down, and his appearance is fierce and mighty, not at all as cute as he was when he was a child.

Doug was still the same, looking much quieter, but he was still very happy when he ate, constantly running around Lawrence under the watchful eyes of several and a group of puppies.

The boar pigs may have been influenced by Doug's family, and also had the idea of forming a herd to form a herd, and instead of letting the sows go down the mountain, they protected the sows and prevented Lawrence from getting close to the sows.

Lawrence now has a big family and has just become a father this year, so he is very tolerant of not caring about the loss of a few sows, and he does not forcibly take away those sows and the piglets in his belly.

In the eighth year of the new calendar, in the cold winter season, both humans and animals are recuperating and growing their populations. (End of chapter)
