Lawrence rests in Oak City to deal with the various issues that arise these days.

Emma, Boole, O'Lauia, and the rest of the deacons put the various reports on the table.

O'Rowa walked over and asked about the arrangement.

"Let the lumberjacks cut down the trees, and you can deal with those elves?"

Lawrence also knew that the decision was a bit outrageous.

"Gathering a lot of lumberjacks to cut down the forest sounds magical, but it's actually a very good way to do it."

Lawrence explained the truth of this ridiculous idea.

"First, cutting down trees outside the Green Forest Kingdom can bring a lot of fuel, and various processing industries such as processing leather, brewing, and boiling salt in the Flying Fish Port require a lot of fuel, and coal is much more expensive than wood."

"Second, it's been almost 10 years since we took down the Flying Fish Harbor, and the children of the first generation of immigrants have grown up, and the population has become more and more over the years, and more houses and land are needed."

"Wood is needed for construction, and wood is needed for all kinds of furniture and livestock sheds."

"The cut branches and leaves can also be used to feed cattle and sheep, and the breeding industry has also developed in the past two years in Feiyu Port, and deforestation can solve the feed problem."

"Thirdly, after the end of the war confrontation with the Dawn Church, the production orders of several of our countries have been reduced, many soldiers who have gone out have returned with nothing to do, and there are still many artisan farmers who need to support their families."

"There are also a lot of children and women who have nothing to do, and these people can go to Feiyu Harbor to find some work, transport wood and boiled water for cooking, herd sheep, mow grass and carry things to bring food to adults."

"Men can arrange to go to Feiyu Port to cut down trees, Feiyu Port is not far from us, just a day or two away, many people are willing to go over to make some money, which can solve the security problems caused by the huge population."

In those days, there was no child protection law, and children had to work for the family just like that, and if children in their eights and nineteens still refused to go down to the field to help out and share some of the labor, they would definitely be beaten.

The influx of children and families who can speak the language of the Frozen Lands into Flying Fish Harbor will make it easier for many immigrants to adopt the spoken language.

"Fourth, our warriors must always have to do something, otherwise they will make trouble if they are idle, and an extra meter into the forest every day is an improvement for the country of stars."

"There are also many benefits, such as the shipyard in Flying Fish Harbor needs a lot of wood, and the coastal area also needs a lot of wood, and the wood that is cut down can not only be used to build the plantation I set up by the sea."

"Several meritorious deeds have been rewarded, including the surviving warriors and their heirs, who will continue to stay outside the forest to protect the logging team, and some of the wood will be sent to their territory to build vineyards or winery farms."

Lawrence has never directly assigned subordinates to various fiefdom knights or nobles, but has asked them to gather a group of people by themselves.

Beoff's subordinates are his cronies who have been leading troops all year round, and Seravin has worked for so many years and has a group of team.

Grace himself is the leader of the tribe, and Grace also has a group of fellow villagers under him.

The power itself is also strength, and it can be called moving, and finding someone to help is even if it is its own strength.

If you can't find some people to go out in the Ice Lands, then you don't have the ability to go outside and become a lord on your own.

There will be a large number of skilled workers in the logging team, these people are basically dragged with their families, and their own physique is also good, and they are the backbone of high quality.

New arrivals in the territory require not only production and construction skills, but also the protection of a group of people, otherwise they will not be able to command the locals.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has been done, and the nobles of Grace and Fleiss have similar experiences, so later people will not rush to the territory, but will spend time and money to make friends with a group of people at the grassroots level and attract some people out.

The arrangement of a large number of lumberjacks to build lumberyards and villages during this period represents a new territory and a new title, as well as a large number of high-quality people.

This is a good thing for the men of the entire Star Nation.

It's also good for women, because when men have a job, they have an income, and logging is a lot of work, but in the frozen land it's a mass industry.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and if everyone does this kind of thing, they will not feel particularly tired.

Boole proposed: "Do the monasteries and churches want to go there?" I've heard that people often die when forests are being developed in several countries outside the country, and many people get sick and die of pain just as they get close to the forests. ”

Lawrence's face became solemn.

Didn't think about it at all......

However, Lawrence is a practitioner and has long experience walking and living in forest areas.

"It's mainly about water and food, and then there's bugs and other troubles, and water and food are okay, but bugs are more troublesome."

Lawrence adds: "There may also be the problem of wizards, and some wizards live in forests that are indeed more dangerous and deadly. ”

"I'll gather a group of wizards to protect the woodyard, and I'll send troops to patrol them, and I'll leave food and water to the logistics team."

"There is a cold ice river passing near the Flying Fish Harbor, water and food are not a problem, and a high-level outpost is established every place to prevent the elves from sneaking attacks."

"I'll wait for a trip to Ironforge and let Ironforge make lunch boxes and kettles."

To solve the forest problem, most people in this era have to burn it, or ignore it.

Whether it's the disease caused by the dense forest, or the feeling of powerlessness in the face of a huge forest, it is not a problem that a few wizards can solve.

Even Keharan's sorcery can't work, a hundred Kehalan, can't pry a corner of the forest, and the forest also has an automatic recovery mechanism.

When the ripening trees grow and die, new seeds will grow with them, and the ripening power of Keharan is only effective for plants, and it has never been able to break down wood.

The wood used to ripen the Colossus was burned or chopped down by Lawrence himself.

When it comes to fighting the forest, the women of Oak City can't help or give advice.

But they can bring Lawrence companionship and relieve fatigue.

It is because of the existence of such a group of people that Lawrence is willing to do things.

If he was alone, Lawrence would only become more aloof.

After resting, Lawrence set off the next day after the sun came out, and quickly reached Ironforge on the path that had been carved out.

The land of ice is still icy and snowy, and most people are separated by the heavy snow in the villages, enjoying the long vacation of the year comfortably.

Lawrence has the strength to fight against the vast forest walls of the Greenwood Kingdom, mainly because the population is large enough!

Once we can solve the food problem needed by the huge population, and can solve the security problems caused by these populations, then these populations are huge strength!

In the past, the problem was mainly solved by brave soldiers, and the main force of the war has always been a very small number of people.

Now Lawrence is able to mobilize half of the country of stars to cooperate, whether it is the workers and soldiers on the front line, or the artisan farmers on the second and third lines, they are all contributing to the fiery power in a steady stream!

In addition to verbally mobilizing all the people of the Frozen Lands to tell them why they cut down trees, Lawrence also had to arm them.

If a farmer with a base value of 1 is equipped with tools and weapons, it will bring a multiplier increase!

"Prophet!"

The guards at the gate of the manor saw Lawrence coming, and quickly went out from the outpost to salute.

Lawrence looked at the guards in heavy fur coats, "You don't need to kneel down when you work, just say hello, are the craftsmen of Ironforge Castle here?" ”

"It's all there!" The guard quickly straightened up and answered the question, "Several boar riders from Mount Talim have come over today and are eating in the house. ”

Lawrence was reminded by the guards before he remembered that he had a team of Boar Riders.

These boar knights rarely go out to fight, mainly because they are too far away from the Holy See to fight, and those large boars are too large to travel far by boat.

After that, I rarely used it, and most of the time I was training.

When I was fighting with the Io Kingdom, I invited the pig knights from the Pig's Trotter City, and most of the pig knights I cultivated here did not come in handy.

"Okay, let those people wait for me at Ironforge Fort."

Lawrence gave the order and quickly rode the black unicorn to the monastery to change clothes.

After a few minutes, the Boar Riders of Orange Town quickly ran to the entrance of the cave to assemble.

It took Lawrence a few minutes to come out, and when he came over, he found that the steaming men had been standing for a few minutes.

"Go in and talk, it's okay to drink during the day, but remember not to play a temper and make trouble and hit people, I won't forgive this kind of person who makes trouble at my house after drinking."

"Yes! Prophet! Several fighters shouted loudly, and a strong smell of alcohol quickly emanated from the air.

Lawrence frowned, "Go back to bed first, I'll tell Hale about it, and Hall will tell you what to do tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Prophet!"

"Yes! Prophet! ”

The drunkards quickly agreed, not knowing if they remembered it or not.

Lawrence quickly sent the men back to sleep, and went into the cave with Hall, who hadn't drunk much.

Hall is the mayor of Orange Town at the foot of Mount Talim, because he was in a bitter cold state for a long time when he was young and before he joined, and he had some problems with his legs and feet when he got older, so Lawrence let him retire in the town very early, usually responsible for raising dogs and disciplining some children.

"Hall, can the current wild boars obey the command to destroy the trees in the forest?"

When Hall heard this kind of thing, he thought solemnly about this possibility.

"It probably can't be done, it's hard for those wild boars to follow such complicated orders, not even the snow dogs."

Lawrence also felt that he was a little whimsical, it was true that the big wild boar would hit the tree, but he would not be stupid enough to break the tree all the time, especially the healthy giant tree.

Even a three-meter-tall wild boar would have a hard time breaking through a two-meter-thick tree, which is abundant in the ancient forests of the Elven Forest.

The problem is that there are too many giant trees in the forest, and even if there is only one of them, it will be difficult to break dozens of curiums or even hundreds of saw blades if they are left to be slaughtered.

The elves do have enough capital to despise the outside world, these giant trees are very common in the green forest kingdom, and it is as difficult for humans to conquer this kind of forest as it is to conquer the sea of stars.

Lawrence believes that conquering the forest is much easier than conquering the sea, even if it takes several generations, even if the combination of elves and forests can make the conquest process fraught with danger.

In fact, this is already a very high-end street fight, the elves can rely on their strong physical fitness to appear on the tall giant trees at any time, and the human army will inevitably be scattered in the forest, and if you go too deep, you will definitely lose several warriors.

Even if Lawrence hadn't been to the Greenwood Kingdom, he could imagine how strong the elves' geographical advantage was.

The forest here is not a forest park in the era of civilization, but a huge forest area covering the entire province, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a steel barrier.

Even so, the war between humans and elves is bound to continue.

If you look at it according to the normal process, this should have been done by the Western Kingdom, but now it has been done by the barbarians of the Cold Lands.

Hall saw Lawrence's silence, thinking he was not satisfied with his answer.

"If you want to destroy the forest, you can set fires, you can dilute the soil, or you can use poison to destroy the roots of trees, but that will be very slow, and it will take many people to dig up the dead trees."

Hearing this answer, Lawrence was even more helpless.

"Yes, even if it dies, it will stay to stop us, but it can't be burned clean, and I'm thinking about how to destroy a forest as quickly as possible."

Hall cautiously asked, "Why are you destroying the forest?" Is it for wood? ”

Lawrence didn't hide it either, "It's to catch the elves in the forest." ”

Hearing that this was the reason, Hall was relieved.

"Then please let me in with the hounds, and I'll find the elf you want to catch."

Lawrence thought the proposal was a good one, and the Hound was indeed the number one enemy of the forest dwellers.

"There's no hurry about this, it's still very dangerous, I'll let people build a logging yard on the edge of the forest first, keep pushing inside, and give the elves inside a little manpower shock!"

"Yes, Prophet!" Hall respectfully said, "Your faithful hound is ready to set out at any time to catch prey for you." ”

Everything Hale has been given by Lawrence, his companions have been able to die here, his family and children can live comfortably here, and his old and useless self has been granted the decent status of mayor.

Lawrence's enemy is Hall's enemy!

Not only Hall, but most of the people in Ironforge were brought up little by little by Lawrence.

Lawrence soon met with Ironforge's archsteward Quirret, and together they made a food tool to arm the workers.

"This is an iron kettle, a cylindrical iron kettle, the vertical one in the middle is empty, you can put a long strip of wood fuel to heat, there is a ventilated iron frame at the bottom to get the air, and the water is stored in the iron pillars around it, so that it can be heated quickly."

Lawrence explains the design concept of the tin kettle to Quilere.

Quirre quickly understood, "This is easy to do, I'll make one for you right away." ”

"It's not one, it's going to take a lot of them, and there will be a lot of demand in the lumber yard in the future, so we have to find a way to make a lathe that can quickly roll the iron sheets."

Lawrence corrected the problem.

"In addition to the tin kettle, I also need to make a steamed rice box, this is not only for the lumberyard, I also have a few at home, you should also make a few here, so that it is easier to eat."

Quirrel became interested, "How do you do this?" Is it similar to Heidi's steam engine? ”

Lawrence didn't hide it, he didn't think of this before, but now he found that he needed to solve the problem of eating and cooking in large quantities, so he thought of a design that made cooking more industrial.

Cooking is no longer a pot by pot, but to improve the performance of machinery, save a lot of manpower and material resources, so that more people can be freed from tedious and repetitive work and do more meaningful things.

Tools for boiling water and cooking may seem useless and meaningless, but in the Flying Fish Harbor, where thousands of people are about to gather, this kind of improvement can free up hundreds of manpower.

In the gathering areas of Ironforge and the Ice Lands, this kind of improvement can also save a lot of space and manpower.

Moreover, making utensils that are easier to consume wood can make it easier to drink hot water, so that people will not drink dirty water from the gutter because of trouble, and will not eat cold food because of trouble, reducing the probability of getting sick. (End of chapter)
