Port of Dum, Harbour Abbey.

The nuns sat around a brazier for a fire, and not far from them, at the fireplace, the noble Bull was chatting with Hela, the abbot of the Harbour Abbey.

Hela said, "The abbey on the other side of the Ice Harbor is being built, and the countess seems to want to be the abbot herself. ”

Bull didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, "This kind of thing will be arranged by the master, now Navia is in the abbey of the manor, Brielier is in the town of Phumesius, you are here in Ferry Harbor, I think the master will also arrange for the nuns who will manage the Flying Fish Harbor and Ice Harbor Abbey." ”

Hela nodded, agreeing with Bull's statement.

Although she went to the church in Flying Fish Harbor after possessing the magic power, Hela still wanted to be closer to Lawrence, and it was more than ten times better to stay here as the abbess of Ferry Harbor than in Flying Fish Harbor.

The two weren't familiar with each other before, but now they're a little more familiar with each other because they both work in Ferry Port.

Hela said, "The children left behind from the expedition to the Kingdom of Gran this spring began to be born one after another, and with the addition of some Durella and Gran, and a small number of the Kingdom of Waves, we have more than 50,000 people here. ”

Bull didn't know much about this kind of thing, and he went back and forth between the families of the victims and the pregnant women every day, because of the language barrier, relying on translators for only rough communication, without that kind of extensive intelligence gathering.

"What's going on in the Kingdom of Waves?" Boole was a little curious.

Hela's work is mainly in the convent, and the more than 50 nuns in the convent are always able to pass on all kinds of fresh information, especially these people are mostly idle most of the time, and they are all noble female students from all over the world who love to chat.

"We used to have some people from the Wave Kingdom here, and these people took advantage of this attack on the Gran Kingdom, and gathered a lot of the old members of the Wave Kingdom during the war, and they came back together after the battle."

Bull wondered, "I didn't see those people, maybe I saw them but didn't notice." ”

Hela smiled, "It's all women and children under the age of five, and the rest of them have been placed in the Wave Kingdom and the Port of En'er, and the owner thinks that these people are not suitable to come together, and we are not a refugee camp here. ”

Bull nodded, "If the master can settle them, and if they can help us, it means that they have been watched by the gods and will live a better life than before, they should be glad for this choice, and they should be grateful for the favor of the master and the god of stars." ”

Of course, coming to Ferry Harbor is the best reward, but these people who were originally pirates and bandits can accept the inspiration of the Star Church, and can cooperate with the people of En'er Harbor to attack the Kingdom of Gran, not giving the best reward but giving a reward worthy of them, which is also recognized as benevolence and fairness.

Pay well in return.

The contribution of a farmer who farms the land is not as good as the effort of fighting a war, which is a value recognized by everyone.

This time, the assistance of the remaining pirates in the Wave Kingdom, in everyone's values, giving money to food and livestock is the greatest reward, and inviting these people directly into the house as guests must be a bad brain!

In the early days, the people of the Wave Kingdom and the Durella Kingdom joined as slaves, and most of the current foreigners are nobles or noble-sponsored students.

If the pirates of the Wave Kingdom come not as slaves, but as guests, they will only arouse the hostility of everyone, and once these unorganized and undisciplined pirate gangsters make trouble, even the people of the Wave Kingdom who have made meritorious contributions before will be affected.

Lawrence only accepts women and children who can be raised, and there is nothing wrong with that.

The Bhumithes, the Vakiri, and the Siddles did not reject foreign women joining in to live a good life, but the thin pirates of the south, who were vulnerable to the south, came directly to enjoy the favor of the gods, and the character of these barbarians was bound to trouble them.

Barbarians do not exclude foreigners, but first of all, they must be capable and valuable, for example, craftsmen from various countries can well integrate into the local atmosphere.

The warriors would not get drunk and provoke the artisan farmers, but would only go to trouble those in the taverns and barracks.

In the afternoon, Lawrence rode around on a black unicorn to see if the merchant ships outside were bringing interesting and valuable goods.

Most of the goods were food and art, but there were also some strange materials such as ivory and dragon claws.

Lawrence has little interest in jewellery and antiques, so he can't find good items most of the time, but he still likes to look at the wide variety of goods.

Bull followed Lawrence to pick out the merchandise and talked about the day's small talk.

"Master, if we encourage those foreign women to have children with us, I think we will definitely attract more women to come."

"It's useless." Lawrence said casually: "The talents and fighters we need are mainly cultivated by us, not by outsiders." ”

"If you need serfs who farm the land, then you can just collect a lot of them and use them directly, if you want that kind of talent, it is better for us to train them ourselves."

Lawrence crouched down and looked at a beautifully crafted turtle shell box, and continued: "Just take your time, don't rush, the land of stars is a god-given place that treats all people kindly, not a dustbin that collects everything. ”

"I'm more concerned about our own children and our future than about the people and things outside."

Bull felt that God's power was not so small, "I think God's power is enough for all of us to be happy. ”

Lawrence meant to give happiness to a few, and Bull felt that he could actually be more, more proactive, and more generous in recruiting outside women to come in and have children.

Lawrence had long been accustomed to this radical idea, and Bull's idea was the feminine version of the barbarian's male war mentality.

He believes that everything is ordained by God and that we have to obtain it, and that the life and death of others is also a matter predetermined by God, and that all people should obey God's will.

The barbaric and bandit mentality is still there, and the main problem is not civilization, but the lack of a strong enemy that everyone can rein.

If there was a strong enemy outside, everyone would not be so savage to the outside.

Lawrence never persuaded people to relent, whether it was Andrew Dogg or the barbarians.

Reasoning and not understanding, can only say something that everyone agrees with.

"Bull, do you think we're better off here than outside?"

Bull looked at Lawrence in surprise, "Isn't that something for sure?" I haven't left here or seen the world outside the mountains, but I've heard a lot of people say that we are the best here, especially where you live! ”

Lawrence suddenly remembered that Bull had never been out, and had been running between several towns.

Although Boole's world is so big, there is already a wide and contented sky in his heart.

"yes." Lawrence raised his head and smiled, "If my life is good and my life is nourishing, others will believe that we are good here." ”

"If you live well with the rest of the people in this land, others will believe that this is a God-given land, and even ordinary people can be fed, clothed, educated, and studied."

"So don't pay attention to the outside, take good care of our own people, and the most devout act to God is to live up to God's gift to us, not to share it and show it off."

"We are all a family, a family united by blood and a common faith!"

Lawrence's church rules and interpretations are constantly changing, evolving, and improving!

When the population of the core area is 100,000, this kind of internal propaganda is easier to unite everyone.

Let others cherish this life, increase loyalty, and at the same time unite with the outside world, and unite around the prophets of the stars.

At the same time, he also used this argument to suppress the voices of some people who expanded to the outside world.

If the benefits and distribution cannot be maintained internally, let's talk about it then, Lawrence is not in a hurry anyway, it is estimated that it will be a hundred years later.
