In the spring, the lively little wild boar began to play in the grass, and when it was full, it would open its mouth curiously to bite the swaying grass leaves.

The cattle and sheep on the hill are led by the grazing herders to graze on the slopes, the calves and cows are leisurely foraging for food, and the larger bulls and cows are quickly distinguished.

Elderly people and middle-aged people in villages and towns carry sacks of fodder and eggs to feed the cattle that are about to work.

Salavin traveled from the town to the farmland outside the town, looking at the cattle on the hillside in the distance.

"Kellyon, these cows are all right, right?"

Kellyon walked back from a distance, and said calmly, "These precious cattle have been locked up for a month in the Eternal Night, and now they have been released for less than a month and a half, and I think they need to rest for a while before they can do heavy work." ”

Salavan also knows this kind of thing, and the area is not suitable for cattle breeding.

"There's no time." Salavin said majestically: "Spring ploughing is about to begin!" ”

Even if he knew that Kellyon was right, Seravin had to insist on another judgment.

Kellyon could not delay the spring ploughing, let alone the idea of opposing the prophet's decision.

"Then you can only use the best cattle for work, and the bad ones for the town of Steel."

"Yes." Because he knew the local situation very well, he decisively agreed.

Despite being a nobleman on the verge of becoming a Sidehl's domain, Seravon's choice is very different from that of a traditional feudal lord.

The lords of the outside world have always been based on their own fiefdoms, and they only serve the king to fulfill the obligations of the landowner, and the king cannot interfere too much in his own domain.

Seravin is not a traditional feudal lord, nor does he have that kind of consciousness for the time being.

The eternal night in Stahl's realm ended several days early, and the climatic conditions were much better than in the town of Bhumisius.

The matter of cultivating cattle was quickly decided, and every spring the kingdom of Haisenli and Hokuriku would also sell cattle to them, and in many places, the snow melted snow water moistened the land, and the cultivation of land was not as laborious as in the plains.

Spring ploughing is only shallow ploughing, and in the autumn it has already been deeply cultivated, Lawrence broke the conventional thinking and asked everyone to plough the land before winter, so that although the soil in the upper layer is frozen, the middle and lower layers have always maintained a certain temperature.

On a hillside a few hundred meters away in Oak City, Lawrence thought about erecting an elevated canal for drinking water.

"We freeze here most of the time, so we don't need it in the winter, and it's easy to be crushed by snow."

"If you use water in spring, summer and autumn, the groundwater should be about the same, and I don't plan to gather too many people here, at most 300,000."

Lawrence thought about it for a moment, but still planned to continue doing it.

Complaining is complaining, worrying is troublesome, thinking of the bad things first, and really doing what should be done.

"Having a suitable source of drinking water can solve the problem of groundwater pollution, and at the same time, a good standard of living will help those scholars and craftsmen live longer and pass on their knowledge better."

To live is to be capital.

Lawrence felt that was important.

The rest of the nobility of this world could not understand this kind of thinking, and they would not do such things that had blessed them for decades.

"In addition to building a mountain waterworks, two more roads also need to be built, otherwise it will be too troublesome to always take a long detour, and directly opening a mountain to make a tunnel can make the travel between Bhumixiu Town and Ferry Port faster, and Oak City can also reach Phumixiu Town faster."

Thinking about all kinds of things to do, Lawrence decided to go and solve the spring ploughing matter first.

The matter of spring ploughing was easy to solve, because it had long felt that it could not carry too much population and farmland, and most of the grain production tasks were entrusted to the town of Siddle and the port of Flying Fish.

Mountain Wind Manor, Bhumixiu Town, and Oak City are all super-large warehouses that store grain, and Ferry Port is the exchange.

Oak City and Bumicius Town can maintain their own consumption as long as the food is sufficient, but it seems that it is more difficult now, the population is growing too rapidly, and it is necessary to constantly mobilize food from the outside world.

Last year's war did not do a good job of clearing the wasteland, and this year we must lead the people in the town to open up the wasteland and cultivate the land, and develop the grain fields for 300,000 people.

The work of diverting water from the mountains will be carried out after spring planting, and the water melted from the snow on the mountains will be enough to meet the needs of millions of people.

Lawrence quickly came up with a way to get water in the winter, just set the pipe under the ice and bury it in the ground, so that the water could be drawn normally in the winter.

For example, if the river is two meters of ice, it will not be a problem to place the water pipe at a position of eight meters.

If you really have eight meters of ice, the most important thing to worry about is not the draft.

Farming, water diversion, road construction, and the cultivation of firearms craftsmen.

"There are a lot of babies born this year, and there will be a need for more food and clothing, as well as medicine and space."

Lawrence patrolled his territory, thinking about the various agricultural plans for the year.

"Gah!"

A raven flew towards Lawrence.

Lawrence, who was thinking, quickly looked in the direction of the sound, and a red-eyed crow descended from the sky and landed on a nearby rock.

The crow opened its jaw wide at Lawrence and let out a clumsy and unpleasant call.

"The host...... Go home... Go home! ”

Lawrence knew that it was a crow raised by Heidi, capable of not only sending letters to recognize people, but also delivering simple messages.

In winter, I was reluctant to let this crow go out to deliver letters, but now that the weather is good, it comes in handy.

The hunters in the vicinity all know the status of the crows, and they have been constantly driving out the beasts of prey, so these crows live very nourishingly.

Lawrence took out the metal whistle in his pocket and blew it quickly.

Seeing this, the black unicorn, which was resting and sleeping not far away, quickly got up from the grass, pricked up its ears to identify the location of the sound, and then quickly galloped over.

A hundred meters is just a matter of seconds under the hooves of a unicorn.

Lawrence rode the unicorn back to Oak Castle quickly.

Kassandra waited at the door, and when she saw Lawrence riding a black unicorn into the warehouse, she quickly informed her about the incident.

"The Pope is gathering the kings of all countries to come together to crusade against us!"

Lawrence was very calm when he heard this, "West or South?" ”

"Church of Dawn." Kassandra added: "Western. ”

Lawrence nodded, "The Fourteen Western Kingdoms, now that we have the majority, how many kings have they gathered?" ”

Kassandra replied, "I don't know for the time being, but last winter the Church sent emissaries to contact the kings of various countries, and our news came from the merchants who came this year, and no one knows more specifically. ”

Lawrence got off the black unicorn, took off his leather gloves and handed them to the maid beside him, and walked calmly to the large living room.

Kassandra kept up, and Kassandra was currently in charge of some war planning and business planning, and her witchcraft ability was a strong memory, which she could quickly memorize and remember.

There is also a strong swordsmanship, a female swordsman with very good strength, and Catherine is a female knight.

In Lawrence's view, Kassandra's ability should be a combination of recording and retrieval.

In terms of learning ability, Kassandra was a quick learner like the rest of the witches.

These witches are all more intelligent than Lawrence, and their knowledge reserves are basically close, mainly because of their personality, which makes them incapable of doing some things.

Then there is the direction of thinking, some things obviously know why, but do not feel that they are wrong.

Even if you know you're wrong, you can continue with confidence.

Lawrence sat down and thought about the Western Church, the rulers of which should not be normal humans, but a group of wizards with a more different mindset than witches.

"The Waves, the Gran, the Deco, the Durella, the Haysenri, the Hokuriku, the Kojako, the Io, the Green Forest, four of the nine kingdoms that have come into contact with us now are our believers, and two are under our direct management."

King Augustine of Heisenli, King Signor II of the Kingdom of Hokuriku, the princes of the Kingdom of Deco, and the royal family of Durella have all joined the Church of the Stars.

It was not because these people were loyal to the Dawn Church again, but that Lawrence felt that the transcendent beings of the Dawn Church would not do such a thing to unite the infidels.

Although the Kingdom of Gran and the Kingdom of the Waves were not actually controlled, the local nobles could not be integrated without the king, especially it was difficult to have the courage to take the lead at the doorstep of the Kingdom of Stars.

The kingdom of Deco is too close to the port of En'er, and it is too close to the kingdom of Gran, especially since it was beaten by a long voyage many years ago, so there shouldn't be so many things.

Lawrence is not sure of the only thing that is the Green Forest Kingdom and the Io Kingdom, especially the traditional military kingdom Io Kingdom, which will definitely not obediently give up the position of overlord.

Several other countries with populations of hundreds of thousands are far away, and these people do not have the skills to go on large-scale voyages, and if they get lost in the sea, they will be wiped out.

On land, there is a lack of suitable mounts, and the birdlizard beasts are not suitable for cavalry charges, and cannot carry all kinds of warriors of one or two hundred catties.

Many knights in the West wore leather armor instead of iron armor, and even then it was heavy.

Although the pigs have a strong carrying capacity, they are not fast and are not suitable for expeditions.

The best mounts are the Dom Sheep, especially those in the Kingdom of Io that are used exclusively for military purposes.

"I don't think there's a direct threat to us, and the biggest problem may be with the Kingdom of Gran."

Lawrence quickly came to the conclusion that "war will break out, but the battlefield will only open up in the kingdom of Glen or in the West." ”

Kassandra asked, "So what are we going to do?" ”

At this time, the rest of the women in the family also gathered to listen to Lawrence's judgment on the war.

Lawrence pondered the matter, "Actually, I don't know much, but our geographical advantage makes it difficult for them to attack us. ”

"The main thing we should be guarding against is assassination." Lawrence reiterates this note and looks at the crowd very carefully.

Kehalan and the others all nodded solemnly, this is indeed an important thing that is recognized as important.

Assassination is still the world's primary and most popular means of solving problems.

Sophia said happily: "I will be with the master every day in the future!" Take good care of the owner! ”

"Sophia's ability is really key." Lawrence continued to think about it, "I'm not weak now, it's basically impossible to assassinate me near us, especially when I go out with some people and only contact a few people. ”

Lawrence looked at Sariel, "In the future, the personnel in the castle should be audited, and no strangers should be allowed to enter the oak castle. ”

Sariel learned of the expansion during the winter, and the Ring was originally built for the College of Saints and the Lawrence family, so it was only natural to house the slaves who lived in them elsewhere.

"Well, there are indeed too many people nearby now, and the houses for raising cattle and sheep can also be placed far away, so that it is cleaner."

Lawrence added: "In the future, the farmland within 500 meters of the surrounding area will be cultivated by the people of our castle, or to grow crops and medicinal herbs and flowers, without the need for people from the outside world to come and help." ”

Emerald had always been a decent nobleman, and when she heard Lawrence's arrangement, she asked, "So there may not be enough maids in the castle." ”

Lawrence smiled, "It must be enough, you and I can go down to the field and take care of the farmland." ”

Jade and the others quickly showed expressions of reluctance.

Sophia also said distressedly: "Do I have to work too?" ”

Lawrence suddenly remembered that Sophia seemed to be the least workable in the family.

In the past, Sariel was reluctant to let her do heavy work, and she always did some light work, but later after her family became wealthy, she gradually became a caretaker.

"There are many kinds of hard work, and farming is one of the most common, and if you don't recognize the importance of hard work and labor from the bottom of your heart, then you don't agree with our teachings."

"It's not illegal, it doesn't cause trouble, but it may not be liked."

Lawrence's face was very solemn, "No matter what you say on your lips or what you think in your heart, in fact, if you don't do something, it will be difficult to prove your diligence." ”

Delenn said indifferently: "Farming is farming, it doesn't matter." ”

Keharan also said casually: "Very simple things, I can help you all do it." ”

Sophia and the others suddenly showed a reassuring smile, there is a combination of witchcraft of Keharan and Delen, and cultivation is just a matter of sowing some seeds.

Lawrence sighed and quickly stood up and looked at the crowd.

"I'm here to show you the divine power I've gained by following the teachings."

Hearing the divine power, Kassandra's eyes widened suddenly, "Divine magic? Is it really possible to master divine arts? ”

As the only pure-blood witch with no special abilities, or no means of attack, Kassandra has always been mindful of her abilities. (End of chapter)
