The hot and warm light makes the seaside even more lively.

Someone carried a heavy load and walked down the cargo ship step by step, sweat like melted droplets on a popsicle, and it continued.

Someone deliberately lay on the beach in the distance, letting the sun shine.

There are also people like Lawrence, who swim and exercise in the sea near the Lighthouse of the Eternal Night, adapting their strength to the sea.

By the way, the size of marine plants such as shrimp, crabs, kelp, and sea plants is very large, and there are some troublesome sea beasts hidden in dense marine plant communities in this world, so it will be difficult to rely on women to do this kind of thing.

Because all walks of life are developing, and external expansion requires a large number of men, few men are willing to become fishermen, especially fishermen related to water people.

Sailors, who work as fishermen in large numbers, are the least likely to want young people and their own men to work in this type of industry.

In the past, there was no choice, so I could only rely on this to eat, and I had to let the children master this survival ability.

But now you can be a soldier, you can be an apprentice worker, you can farm for the Prophet's family, you can even go to the tavern to help earn some leftovers.

A man with strength, going to the dock as a stevedore also earns more than going into the water every day to catch fish and shrimp, and it is safer.

It is precisely because of the hardships that he has endured, so he is extremely reluctant, and even feels that it is a shame for his man to do this.

In some cases, there will only be fewer and fewer people willing to engage in fishing.

At present, the fishermen are not paid, and only the initial part of the people are paid, as well as more important technical research and rights positions.

Fishermen are out of Lawrence's mind, and there are too many important positions and groups than them.

It wasn't until today when I went into the water to help salvage underwater things that I suddenly realized the suffering of this group.

Emerging from the murky waters, Lawrence looked around, found the location of the collection boat, and quickly swam over to drop the crab in his hand onto the boat.

There is a clear difference in the temperature of the sea, only a few places on the surface are warmer, and the soles of the feet can feel cold.

The sea in this area is not hot and is not suitable for traditional underwater work.

Lawrence dived in and continued to catch crabs and lobsters, there were too many crabs to catch underwater, and there were very few people who liked to eat lobster crabs here, and most immigrants did not like to eat these things.

Eating seafood requires seasonings, which is a heavy burden for most people at present, and only the prophets can use all kinds of spices so luxuriously.

Swimming in the water, Lawrence gradually adapted to the complex underwater environment, and in various barbarian legends, the barbarian warriors would fight various sea monsters in harsh and stormy weather.

After two or three hours of acclimatization to the water littered with blisters and all sorts of dirty floats, Lawrence found himself still not living up to the legendary average of the barbarians.

"The hosts! I can't fit it anymore! The boat is full of crabs and shrimp, and fish! ”

Lawrence under the water felt the sound of slapping above, and quickly emerged from the sea water more than ten meters deep, and saw Sophia who was slapping the water with an oar.

When Sophia saw Lawrence come up, she quickly greeted, "Master, these are enough for us to eat!" ”

"Let's go back, then." Lawrence looked around, and the fishermen were still working in the distance.

Fishermen cut the sea vegetables in the water with long wooden sticks tied to their sickles, and cut off a corner of the heavy sea vegetables floating in the sea like the shadow of a giant beast and brought it back to the boat.

The sea plants are very large, dense and crowded, and it takes a long time for a knife to cut a large piece on them, and if you cut too small, it will delay the work.

It is not easy to exert force on a boat, and it is easy to be trapped by floating sea vegetable tentacles underwater, or to be pushed by the wind and waves to push a heavy sea vegetable group into it.

Most of the time, these heavy objects are pushed to shore by the waves, rather than needing to be salvaged in deep water.

Lawrence shouted into the distance, "Go back!" That's it for today! ”

When the fishermen in the distance heard this, they quickly relieved themselves and began to beckon the fishermen under the sea to come up and go home.

There was no need for so much seafood and seafood in the tavern, and these fishermen were more likely to provide cold dishes to the Prophet's house.

Because it is a work for the prophet's house, the prophet's words are the most convincing.

It wasn't a job, it was just a job for the Prophet's house.

Like this kind of slave, there are hundreds of thousands in the country of stars, but the people in the conquered lands of Gran and Io are not treated as slaves.

It was indeed a slave, but it was also a personal servant of the Prophet.

Although the fishermen were poor, and although they did not like to do this kind of work, and they did not like to eat seafood, they all attached great importance to the identity of the prophet's personal servant, and it was with this identity that they were able to live and live in several important places in the icy land, especially in the port of Dum.

Lawrence first returned to shore, and after experiencing the hardships of working in the water, Lawrence decided to include the fishermen's work in the wage system.

Anyway, there was too much food to eat, and logically speaking, private servants should have been paid.

Recently, Lawrence has not paid attention to the war outside, and is mainly busy paying wages and counting assets.

After taking inventory, I found that after sending a large amount of food, there was still too much to pile up.

In the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, there has been no harassment by pirates, and there has been no exploitation by the nobility and the church, because for a long time Lawrence has restrained everyone's firepower, and pulled the violent class into the battlefield in the coastal areas, resulting in most of the agricultural areas being peaceful and recuperating for seven or eight years.

In particular, in the past two or three years, the tentacles of the church have been interrupted, cutting off the church's claim to the northern countries, and the aristocracy of several kingdoms has also focused on war and new technology, ignoring the population at the bottom.

Although there is still a lot of exploitation and oppression, the growth of food is greater than the growth of population, and the only commodity that countries can take out in order to buy the goods of the country of stars is food.

Oak City and a few warehouses alone simply can't hold the grain shipped from all over the mainland, and even if a batch is sent out now, it won't solve this bloated problem.

Lawrence decided to send some more, to those who needed it, especially his own.

However, the fishermen's rations should not be too high, the area is not suitable for traditional fishing, and there are no large fishing boats for these people, and in recent years only a little work in the coastal area has been enough to meet the needs of the castle.

The ration wages were mainly for the legions and artisans, especially those of the early families.

There were already people waiting on the shore, and the Dark Elf maid wiped the sea water off Lawrence's body with a wet towel.

Lawrence lets the Dark Elves wipe his body clean.

"Shadis, give each of these fishermen two hundred catties of miscellaneous grain every month in the future."

When Sadish heard this, she quickly said, "These fishermen are in charge of Dora, and every month when they bring us seaweed and seafood, they also get some grain, and they also get briquettes and wine in the cold winter. ”

Lawrence didn't know about it, and it was the first time he had heard it.

But there is no doubt that Lawrence is well aware that fishermen need to live, especially in places like Ferry Harbor.

These people were the early builders of the port of the ferry, and they were a large group, plus after Seravon's promotion, Rao the Water Man became one of the local consuls, and Lawrence's maid also included ordinary fisherwomen like Dora.

Although it is very unimportant compared to witches and some maids, the status and living standard of the water people are not bad because of these two "officials".

The port of the Ferry has not experienced strong winds and waves, it is too peaceful, there is no tyranny or trouble, and it is impossible for the water people who settle and work as slaves of the prophet to live worse than those outside.

The work of marine fishing is indeed hard, but these people can usually eat meat and drink wine, and have sheltered houses to live in, especially during the period when outsiders are trying to come in, these people can marry a wife and feed a family very easily.

After discovering that his worries were unnecessary, Lawrence quickly accepted the fact.

"Then give an extra fifty catties of miscellaneous grains every month."

Water people are also human beings, and they will also find ways to make their lives better, whether it is to let their children work in more status jobs, or in the choice of spouses and various choices, the way of thinking is actually the same as that of people in civilized society.

It's just that most of the time there are not so many choices for them to show their wisdom, and most people's lives are confined to their own small circle and cannot see the outside world.

Sophia was very unhappy with Lawrence's generous behavior, "Why do you still have to give?" A lot has been given! ”

Lawrence smiled: "We can't eat enough food, you see that many cargo ships outside pull a very, very large amount of grain every day, and distribute some food to the people below, maybe they can research more cooking methods for millet beans and drive the development of our cuisine." ”

Sophia couldn't care about the food problems anymore, and looked at Lawrence in shock, "Is this really the case?" ”

Lawrence smiled confidently, "Of course, no one hates good food, and we have that advantage right now." ”

Sophia didn't know what advantage she had here, but she believed in this result out of trust in Lawrence, and quickly stopped paying attention to the distribution of millet.

"Then it's okay to give them some grain, keep them working for us!" Sophia held her head high, incredibly proud.

Lawrence felt that this would be fine, and there was no need to explain much at this stage.

The war led to the migration of people, stimulated the development of agricultural technology, and combined with the fastidious occupations of industry and artisans, soldiers, adventurers, and aristocrats, the Cold Lands had an excellent advantage in culinary technology.

When the inedible grain is distributed, the people will naturally process and preserve the grain in different ways.

It may come from wisdom, or it may come from chance all kinds of strange foods.

Lawrence is also looking forward to the future.

Not only the scientific knowledge, but also the cooking skills have been almost completely taught.

It's like raising a school of fish in a fishpond, and it's like planting a lot of seeds in the ground, and now it's like looking forward to the day when this knowledge will sprout and bear fruit.

At the same time, the payment of ration wages can further enhance the cohesion of the core position.

Lawrence spent more than ten years to determine one thing, that is, in this era, people in this world not only did not lag behind in IQ, but were better in learning ability and thinking.

The main thing that limits them is the environment and atmosphere, as well as the barren resources at hand.

In addition to the powerful witches and witches, there are also all kinds of capable and courageous people, and if these people do not take refuge in themselves but in others, then it will have a very bad effect.

A high standard of living and a strong sense of purpose are more likely to attract these people.

The main reason for being able to win over Dana is the cultivation of the next generation here, especially the knowledge sharing of the people around him and the encouragement of those scientific researchers.

At present, there is still a little distance from the ideal, most people are still chasing food and clothing, and after eating and drinking enough to get used to the kind of life that does not need to worry about safety, they will feel that life is too boring, and begin to chase some goals that are not so easy to get.

At the same time, most people are actually willing to live like this mediocre for a lifetime.

In the Harbour Abbey, young witches began to learn to make large clocks and watches under the guidance of Sophia.

This knowledge was new to all the nuns, and both the nobles and the trainees who had come as slave girls gathered in the church to observe.

While these people are learning new knowledge, there are also people who stay quietly in the middle of nowhere.

Since the little nun Lana raised the Sea Clan toddlers, her relationship with the rest of the nuns has not been very good.

In the past, she used to work and talk with some sisters who did chores, but now those nuns go to help the trainees, and no one comes to play with her in the backyard.

A while ago, I went to the rest of the nuns to show off because I got food, but I found that the nuns who did chores didn't care about these at all.

"I'll go and help the noble lady run an errand, and when they are happy, they will give me a candy to eat, so that they won't eat your raw wheat and rotten beans."

Other people's words made Lana envious and sad.

She also did odd jobs, but Lana didn't know the noble ladies who came to live in the monastery, and they didn't know what was going on, so they didn't ask her to help run errands and buy things.

The more time she takes care of the little fish-man, the more Lana becomes disconnected from the nuns outside.

Fortunately, in addition to taking care of the little fish-man, Lana also has to work to clean the yard, clean the nearby cowshed, clear the grass regularly, and go to prayer on time every week.

Lana cleans up the wet grass stained with cow dung and urine in the cowshed, where she has three cows, two cows and a calf.

The cow was pulled out to work, and the calf was left in the yard by Lana.

In the summer, the temperature was a little muggy, and the honest calf with fine fluff soon walked to the water tank, and when he looked out with his eyes wide open, he also put his mouth in the water tank and drank the water here.

The clear water here is clearer than the water in the sink, and there is a lot of salt, and usually the big cows and calves will take advantage of Lana's inattention and secretly drink the water here.

After the calf secretly sucked in the water and drank a few centimeters of water without moving, the little fishman sleeping in the tank quickly jumped out of the water tank.

Syllable!

The fish-man's body fell from the sky to the water, and as he fell, his hands clasped together slapped the calf's face fiercely.

The calf turned around in pain and ran a few steps, dodging the monster in the tank.

The little fishman opened his mouth and bared his sharp teeth to threaten the calf, which was more than ten times larger than himself.

The calf looked quietly at this strange thing that drank the same milk as himself.

Both sides stared at each other with big eyes.

Lana poked her head out of the cowshed at this time, and when she saw the little fishman and the calf, she knew that there was another fight.

"Don't quarrel, don't fight, I'll clean up in no time." Lana quickly persuaded her, but soon continued to bust herself as if she was relieved.

Because of the sun's rays, the little fishman soon sank into the water tank to take a nap to avoid the strong light at this time.

After almost finishing cleaning the barn, Lana wiped her sweat and decided to go to the kitchen to get some water to see if dinner was ready.

As soon as she got close to the kitchen, Lana saw the old nun and immediately wanted to turn around and go back to the courtyard and come back later.

The old nun, who was reprimanding the rest of the nuns, also found the little nun who was about to run.

"Lana! Come here! ”

The little nun had no choice but to bow her head and move cautiously.

The old nun did not reprimand the little nun, but before the little nun could get closer, she said, "The prophet has just sent a batch of fish and sea vegetables, let us give you a pot of small fish and sea vegetables, and see if that sea tribe eats these, you have to remember what that thing eats, the prophet may ask this." ”

The little nun wondered why the prophet asked this, didn't the prophet know everything?

Fortunately, the majesty of the old nun deterred the little nun and did not let the little nun ask such a question.

In the evening, the little nun quickly went back with the fish, shrimp and sea vegetables for the little fish man, and after putting the small washbasin containing the fish, shrimp and sea vegetables in the water tank, she quickly ran to the canteen to eat.

"Today I had white bread and vegetable soup, and stir-fried chicken!" The little nun ran excitedly to eat.

Even though Lawrence allowed her to bring food back to eat, the little nun was well aware that there was an extra meal in the cafeteria today!!

Today, the nuns and Sophia are learning together and discussing how to install clocks in the monastery, so the food is a little richer.

The monastery has a fixed meal, with a different main course from Monday to Sunday, but it is even more abundant if a big man comes to eat with him.

The Holy Maiden Sophia is a big man of this level, and the little nun is also stained with it, and she can have a good meal.

After dark, the well-fed little nun went home to sleep with a lantern in one hand and a belly in the other.

As soon as I entered the yard, I found a pair of green eyes looking at me.

Only then did the little nun remember the little fishman, and walked over to pick up the little fishman lying on the edge of the water tank.

"I'm sleeping~ I'm so tired today~" The little nun said proudly: "Only when you are full can you have the strength to sleep!" ”

The little fishman quickly curled up and leaned against the little nun's warm arms, and went into the hut with the little nun to sleep.

The fish and shrimp in the basin had been eaten, and most of the sea vegetables had been eaten, but the little nun who had soon fallen asleep had obviously forgotten what the little fishman liked to eat. (End of chapter)
