After a light rain, the weather gradually cools.

After a few more days, a sunny and beautiful weather came out, and people took advantage of this time to dry their clothes according to the guidelines of previous years, and took out the old clothes and bedding to sew them again to see where they needed to be repaired.

At this time, the land has also dried up, and the dust from the burned straw in the field has been mixed with the soil.

Lawrence ploughed the land to be cultivated next year, and was busy with the division until he was reminded by Sariel.

"Lawrence, when I went to the manor today, it felt like it was going to snow, and we must be getting around here."

Sariel rode a Domme sheep to Lawrence's field, and told Lawrence, who was collecting soil for the winter to grow new potatoes.

Lawrence, who was busy, straightened his back, and suddenly felt that he had been busy for a long time, and it was time to rest and enjoy.

"Good!" Lawrence continued to finish the day's work, shoveling dirt and asking, "Sariel, how are you doing at the manor?" ”

Saliel dismounts from the Dom sheep and strokes the old Domme sheep beside her, while Nala the Dom sheep looks down for grass to eat.

"I told those people that it was going to snow today or tomorrow, and they were recording the weather today, and I couldn't tell them anything else, it was just feeling."

Sariel couldn't tell her feelings, the prediction of weather changes was a bloodline ability, if it weren't for Lawrence having to do this, Sariel felt that others would not understand it at all, let alone learn it.

"Yes, there's no way to be as accurate as you are now." Lawrence thought for a moment, "Maybe not in a hundred years." ”

It can be achieved to a small extent with experience, and with big data and meteorological satellites, it can be mostly accurate, but it is not guaranteed to be 100%.

At this time, Sophia came running from a distance on a dom sheep.

"The hosts! Sister Sariel! Drive! ”

Sophia rode the domme sheep hard, and unlike Sariel, who was reluctant to ride the dom sheep, this beautiful woman in her teens and twenties pulled the reins hard, constantly pumping the domme sheep with her branches.

Sofia the Dom was seven years old, and was also an adult ewe in the Dom Sheep, and came panting for breath, and her beautiful young mistress had always been accustomed to driving it in a rough way.

Sophia sat on the back of the sheep and shouted: "Master, the messenger has sent news from the front, as well as letters from several kings outside!" ”

Lawrence felt almost ready for the winter, and after taking care of the work in hand, he went back to rest with the last bit of soil for the winter warming.

It's winter again, and people who have worked hard all year are waiting for this rare time of comfort.

When Lawrence returned to the Ring, he also found that the atmosphere had been much more lively these days than the previous days.

"It's been a lot more lively lately." Lawrence voiced his feelings.

Salil smiled and said: "Yes, the nobles there in the province of Gran have also been trained, and they are arranged to work in the castle this year, and the previous maids have left, and I am thinking about which nuns to choose to come over to help this year, and the women of Beauf and Suliman want to come." ”

Lawrence didn't speak, and in the past women were asked to come over to help because of lack of manpower.

After there has been no shortage of people in the past few years, this kind of thing is a kind of rule and custom, and it also has honor significance.

In order to prove their loyalty, and to familiarize future generations and the monarch, it was necessary to have their own women and children work in the castle.

In other words, it is probably that the company managers let their children and wives take up logistics work in the head office, which is a fat gap for everyone.

Personality and morality were not yet enlightened in this era, the concept of chastity was also very thin, and many people were Lawrence's captives and slaves, and these people believed that letting their own family members work in Lawrence's house was the meaning of existence in itself.

Compared to their own home, the Lawrence family is the real home of this land.

But times will also change, and after worrying about food and clothing, morality will arise, and independent personality will be considered.

Seravon's wife was not his slave, she was Lawrence's slave, so Seravon's family working here was Lawrence's own domestic slave.

Suliman joined as a captive and a capitulator, and was considered a slave, but her wife was a woman dependent on his existence.

Lawrence suggested: "Forget about Suliman's family, Beauf's woman can come over." ”

Beoff was Lawrence's subordinate and a slave raised from childhood, and his wife was also recommended by Lawrence, so she was equally good with Lawrence.

At the same time, Beauf's family has been Lawrence's slave for a long time, and Beoff's mother is also Lawrence's slave, and the family has become the ruling aristocracy of Cold Harbor by relying on this relationship, and it is normal for his wife and children to continue to enjoy this convenience.

In such an environment, if Beoff's heirs had an independent personality, it would be a terrible thing for the entire family, and it would mean that the efforts of a generation would be nullified, and they would fall directly into the abyss from the clouds where they could see the stars and the sun.

Lawrence is not open, nor is he fully open, he allows some people to have their own ideas, but also has their own basic plate to ensure the interests of their own people.

If you are looking for an independent personality and mind, you can try it overseas.

It turns out that people with independent personalities have to eat and go to work the same, and Lawrence knows very well that he can't guarantee that he will be good for everyone, so he naturally chooses to save the benefits to those he trusts.

"Good!" Sariel didn't understand Lawrence's complicated mind at all, and only felt that Lawrence had saved himself the trouble by making his decision.

Saliel, who was in a good mood, continued to chatter: "The nobles of Durella are all arranged to work in places such as monasteries and churches, and there are quite a few of them in our castle, and after the arrangement of the province of Gran this time, the next batch will be the beautiful noblewomen selected from the kingdom of Io a few years ago. ”

Lawrence only destroyed the bear family of the royal family, and the rest of the family killed some, but then the kindness attacked, and there were still many people left.

In the early years, the attitude towards the male witch was extremely unfriendly, and he didn't think about accepting the surrender of the male witch at that time, so he could kill it, which also led to the following barbarian generals generally following the prophet's wishes when performing their tasks, and the last ones who stayed were basically young and beautiful female nobles.

In order to prevent assassination, Lawrence educated the female nobles he recruited for at least three years, teaching not only the written language, but also the ideological guidance.

"Maids don't need to be replaced so quickly." Lawrence didn't feel the need to be so diligent, so changing it every three or four years would be too expensive.

Sariel retorted: "But many people change their appearance in three or four years, and girls who are the most beautiful after three or four years will soon become fat and fat, and they will become lazy. ”

Lawrence said no more, and entered the office to check the greetings sent by several kings.

Many people died in the war that year, but all countries also occupied some land, some towns and some small towns.

The land occupied needed to be populated, so the restless people who thought about emigration all day long were moved here.

The wealth obtained from wars and plundering was also spent in several southern cities, which stimulated the prosperity of local markets, as well as the manufacture of merchants and products from various countries.

The lands of the Church were all good lands, and some of the nobles in each country began to migrate out, resolving the contradictions of internal strife.

Saliel stood beside Lawrence, looking curiously at the words.

"Say what?" Although Sariel was literate, she was slow to read, and Lawrence quickly changed to the next one.

Lawrence explained, "They greeted me and thanked me for my support this year, and they had sent me gifts from the fleet, and they offered to help if the elves needed a fight. ”

Sariel said casually: "That female elf named Stella has already taken a boat down the ice river and taken three boatloads of food, and I heard that it was a bounty for us to capture thieves. ”

Lawrence nodded, "That's right, she has obtained legal income from her labor, and I agree that she will go back with 10,000 catties of grain." ”

Sophia was curious: "What to catch thieves?" ”

Lawrence continued to look at the letter and said casually: "Because of the relationship between the large number of sailors and the foreign population, there are often petty thieves and thieves in Ferry Harbor, and there are people who hurt people after losing gambling or drinking. ”

"Stella has tracking technology and can quickly find the murderer, if she doesn't insist on going back to the Green Forest Kingdom after she has earned enough money, I am very willing to keep her with generous treatment."

Sophia was shocked: "Has our territory begun to be unsafe? ”

"Not really, it's just that there are too many people to manage." Lawrence patiently explained, "The mix of people from different regions and languages is inherently problematic, and many things have actually always existed, but they just can't be seen." ”

"It's only recently that we've made time to take care of it, and it's been a lot."

"Don't worry, this kind of thing will be improved soon, and I believe that there are many good people who will take on the mission of justice."

Lawrence is actually a little reluctant to the female elf Stella who has only met once, although this female elf refuses to obey him, but it is really easy to communicate, and she is also conscientious in her work.

Elf Detective, the more I think about it, the more I feel pity.

Lawrence quickly shifted his attention, "The list of this year's winters will be sorted out as soon as possible, and as long as there are no problems with last year's people, they will be invited this year." ”

Sariel said, "Well, Countess of Vakiri, Åraua, should be coming soon." ”

Lawrence suddenly remembered the matter of Countess Aulaua, more precisely the cold harbor and the port of Lofen, and the news from the East.

This year, I have patronized and enjoyed peace and security, and even in terms of government affairs, I have focused on the West and neglected the connection with the East.

But it's not a big deal, the mountain in my backyard hasn't completely made a fuss, is it going to see it again this year?

Just as Lawrence pondered whether to take a trip to the snowy mountains, Emerald walked in.

"Master, are you busy right now?"

Lawrence looked at the dignified female professor with seaweed and long, snake-like turquoise hair.

"Not busy, what's the matter?" Lawrence and Emerald don't have a good relationship, although everything that needs to be done is done, but it's like the difference between favorability and intimacy.

Emerald is not very capable and has a weak sense of presence, and spends most of her time in charge of education, and is a witch who appears often, but is not so important.

Emerald said respectfully: "When the merchants went back to the south before, my subordinates in the south have been contacted one after another, and I want them to establish a trade point in the river area of the forest below the Viper tribe, and I hope to get your permission." ”

Lawrence pondered the matter, "Why not pick a good place?" Will there be merchants passing through that kind of place? ”

Jade saw that Lawrence did not object to this proposal, and said confidently: "Yes! There are many transcendents who need precious materials from the swamp, and there are many villages and tribes in the vicinity, which sometimes receive precious materials in addition to providing food in exchange for our cloth spices and medicines. ”

Lawrence didn't have time to exploit the swamps of the South, and when he saw that someone was willing to explore this mysterious area, he nodded.

"Okay, I'll allow it, and the tax side can be determined."

"Yes, master!" Jade happily agreed, and also said the explanation that she didn't need, "Our academy's research often needs some monster medicinal materials, and sometimes we also need to take students out to experience and see the dangers outside. ”

"The last time our people encountered poisonous flies, swamp poisonous lizards, bipedal wyverns, and swamp four-legged fish in the swamp, there may be many strange and dangerous and powerful monsters inside."

"And from there there you can go to the south and the west, which is very important to us."

Lawrence nodded, but didn't think so.

The main reason why the swamp has not been taken seriously is that the roads are one-way, and there are drops such as waterfalls and stairs, so it is difficult to swim upriver most of the time except in winter.

"You can take care of this matter, and I will help a little."

Lawrence pondered the problem, since there is no convenience, then make convenience.

There is a drop in the river, so why not use a seesaw or special tool to move the boat from a low place to a high current?

In the past, there was no such convenience, but now with the steam engine, these are not impossible.

If the relationship between height and height difference is solved, it will be a huge boost to the water and land transportation of the entire mountain and forest area.

It's a good winter holiday for a few months, so it's nice to have something to do.

Lawrence quickly gave up the exploration of the snowy plateau, and recently had an unpleasant relationship with the elves, so this year he will not go out on an adventure alone, and honestly enjoy life at home, and use his brain to develop technology by the way.

The research and development of technology is no longer a one-person thing, and a large number of female scholars in the college who have learned advanced knowledge discuss science and technology together in the bathhouse or on the big bed, which is also an exciting thing to think about!
