Chapter 8: Growth
On an autumn morning, Lawrence returned from a gym in the woods and was about to go out to inspect after a brief breakfast.
Emma walked over from the Ring and walked quickly to Lawrence, who was about to leave.
"Master, the wizards have developed the technique of mining the Holy Light Stone, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Lawrence was overjoyed to hear the good news.
"Finally, we have researched it, so that we will have our own lighting stone production line in the future."
Emma smiled, "Yes, I don't know the specifics. ”
"It's okay, someone will report something more specific to me soon." Lawrence looked at the ring outside, "I was going to go to Orange Town to see the Boar Corps, but it looks like we're going to have to wait until tomorrow." ”
After human food is abundant and knows that it is clean and smelly, the technology of raising pigs has also improved.
Even with the help of witches and supernatural powers, Lawrence was not in a hurry to move civilization so quickly.
The land of ice has ushered in a long winter.
Lawrence offered his condolences to the wizard, although he had not met several times.
Because he is the biggest slave owner in this era, many things that the feudal dynasty can't prohibit can be easily banned here.
Mission 6: Discover the warriors in your territory.
Unlike witches, wizards don't get an inch, as long as they can get the recognition of their strength, these witches will live a very peaceful life, and if they feel uncomfortable, they will leave on their own.
These places are also very well developed.
Although it is funny, there are indeed many talents who raise pigs, and this area has had the habit of eating pig thighs since ancient times.
Aidan nodded, "Okay." ”
Every year, Lawrence writes assignments for the stewards of the various districts.
Lawrence smiled at Aidan and said, "Don't always think that others are stupid, especially a group, which will cause you to lose correct judgment and cognition. ”
"It seems to me that they may be more interested in learning now than you elves who rarely touch books."
At present, the selection of talents mainly relies on recommendations, because there are not many literate people, and smart children and brave warriors also need to be recommended by those around them.
After more than a decade, the system will be reformed from a recommendation system to a selection system, and then a stricter written interview system will be conducted.
Sometimes this experience is not reliable, and most of them are dead pigs as live pig doctors.
Task 2: Next year, 400 head of cattle will be rented from the hard-working households in the territory, distributed in 26 villages in the territory, and if no one is willing to rent, they will be given priority to the people of Siddle Town.
Seravin has a lot of construction experience, but he can't do things related to wars, nor can he invent and create, and his only advantage is that he is obedient and can live a stable life.
In agriculture developed, especially farming tools.
"The price of a live cow must be more expensive than a dead cow, otherwise it will not protect those healthy live cattle, and people are all interested in profits."
"The people outside don't have the physical fitness of savages, they can't really be used as cattle, and the family will really die of exhaustion if they pull the plough and rake the land with a rope."
Over the years, Lawrence has been collecting crops from all over the world, selecting useful ones to cultivate.
Lawrence did not have a master of cattle raising, but there were many masters of raising dogs and pigs.
"Okay." Aidan remembered and quickly left the place.
"At present, all the cattle are mine, and the land and population of the two major provinces are also mine, so I can prohibit people from killing cattle privately."
After the mining and cutting processing technology of lighting stone is cracked, more lighting stones will enter the market.
Cattle can be mated free of charge, and the mating task is taken care of by professional cattle herders.
After a morning and half an afternoon of pondering, Lawrence couldn't think of any way to encourage others to raise cattle, and then suddenly he realized that he didn't need encouragement at all, just forbidden!
There is no restraint of civil and military officials, nor is there the restraint of the law of ancestors and civilized etiquette, and he is an absolute emperor with real power.
As long as they rented some cattle to peasant families everywhere to raise, or lent some money to their serfs and tenants, they themselves worked hard to raise cattle.
Task 9......
Emma gently echoed, "There shouldn't be a rush over there." ”
Even if machinery comes up in the future, cattle raising technology will not be outdated.
"If you run into trouble, ask the local nobles for help and tell them that you are from the Land of the Stars and that you have permission to go out with Prophet Lawrence."
Now this kind of hand-in-hand task plan is also of contemporary significance.
Lawrence has no other interests than being strong and enjoying.
The only exceptions are the Trade City built by Jade, and the Waterfall City that Heidi and the others themselves watch.
"My subordinates don't all drink and fight all day, I have assigned them tasks, and they have a requirement to know new words every month in addition to their own names."
"That's it."
Lawrence, a former veterinarian, was well aware of the value of cattle and began to buy cattle from outside the company from an early age, and encouraged the development of the breeding industry in Heisenley to raise more cattle.
Things need to develop slowly, not overnight.
The only change was the creation of two cattle farms, which was not a problem for Servain, who was born as a serf.
After Aidan left, Lawrence began to review agricultural reports in Io and Gran provinces.
Lawrence's desk was stocked with a large number of books, a pencil holder for pencils, and some spare paper and fountain pens, as well as an abacus for calculations.
Lawrence waited in the building's office for a briefing from his men, and soon the wizards brought back the Illumination Stone and the corresponding technology.
The Lawrence family and many of the nobles of the land were built on this place.
After spending half a month writing the mission guide for each of his lords, the weather also turned colder, and the temperature dropped quickly after an autumn rain.
Therefore, unlike those nobles who focus on enjoyment, whether it is developing technology or witchcraft, Lawrence will improve the basic productivity, and will not blindly detach from reality.
Even if the difference in strength is huge, it will give those nobles some face.
After receiving permission to leave, Aidan stood up and intended to leave.
With this structure of absolute power and stability, it is much simpler to do something.
Aidan sat in a chair across from Lawrence, across a two-meter-wide desk.
In addition to the use of the castle, Lawrence decided to allocate the quota of the Illuminated Stone to schools and military schools, a small part to churches and monasteries, and a smaller part to sell to merchants everywhere.
In the past, the task book was to guide the local person in charge to complete the production and reclamation tasks to protect the stable growth of the population.
Lawrence gave them a clear guide to the task of doing many things, many of which they had heard of for years, if not before.
Task 3: Build two cattle farms, require a distance of more than 10 kilometers between each other, usually do not interfere with each other, do not affect each other, and hand over to the two responsible persons to be responsible, the number of cattle must exceed 1,000 next year, and if it is not enough, they will find a way to buy it from other places.
Even if the country in the south has no contact with here, for the sake of the face of a country with a population of 3 million, it will take care of it.
"The old, weak and sick cattle can be slaughtered, but it is indeed too wasteful to bury them in the soil when they die."
Many experienced old people don't look illiterate, but they have a lot of experience in raising pigs, and they can judge the problems of pigs through rough experience and solve some disease problems.
Lawrence wrote about the strength of his side on the customs clearance paperwork, and the content was somewhat exaggerated.
The same is true of the territories of Luke and Fryce, Gliss, Turaka, and others, all of whom have been operating under Lawrence for many years.
Now it is necessary to master the forces that make the country stronger, and also the forces that can make itself stronger.
Lawrence also stood up, "I'll write you a document, you can solve a lot of problems that need to be solved with your fists, believe me, show those people what I wrote, it's much faster than you can solve the problem by hand, and there will be no follow-up series of troubles, and you can get a lot of help." ”
Accumulating a lot of strength over and over again, even in life, there will be a lot of slaps in the face and times when you don't have a long memory, but as long as you don't die, you will have a little experience.
It's not easy to raise a cow, a cow doesn't have a lot of life like a pig, and it's not as easy to feed as a pig.
Lawrence knew that some wizards didn't like to talk and didn't like to follow other people's rules.
Places such as the provinces of Glen and Io, as well as the port of Flying Fish, have been following Lawrence's big plan all these years, and then improving some deficiencies on their own.
Lawrence canceled his plans to go to Orange Town, and prepared to discuss with the wizards the plans for the mining and use of the Illumination Stone.
Task 7: Conduct regular patrols around towns and cities to stop injustice.
Task 5: Raise more than ten literate serfs.
"Fortunately, there is no habit of eating beef here, otherwise there are not as many cattle as there are cattle killing."
Lawrence gave Seravin twenty guidelines for his tasks, and these were all a year's work, and basically all of them were things that had been done many times in previous years, and there was not much change.
It's not that they can develop well without Lawrence's guidance, but Heidi and Emerald and others have long learned Lawrence's governance experience.
The five countries in the west all regard the country of stars as their boss, so they will naturally give face.
Lawrence also mentioned it in passing.
If you want to develop agriculture, farming cattle is a must.
"Thank you, Aidan."
Lawrence couldn't help but rejoice.
Task 4: Maintain trade routes, inspect trade routes in disrepair, and send soldiers to inspect from time to time to exterminate bandits. No less than 50 patrols per year.
Aidan is an elf, and his own strength is not weak, and others can roughly judge the strength of this side when they see him.
Witchcraft is used for pleasure and military purposes, and technology is mainly used for agriculture and industrial production, but also for improving the quality of life.
For example, attacking the outside state forces, this kind of thing has no plans at the moment, and I don't want to occupy anyone's land.
Aidan took it, looked at it, and then at Lawrence.
Sometimes it will shrink, but between advancing and retreating, it will always move forward.
Even if witchcraft is destined to die, that is for the future.
"Yes." Lawrence was glad that the elves were willing to go out for a walk, "I'll give you a reward for this research, you can go outside the stars and have a look." ”
"Of course, learning to learn is not something else, at least in terms of the performance of wanting to learn, it is much more enthusiastic than you."
"Are those barbarians really literate?"
Young Aidan said, "Prophet, I want to go out and see. ”
This kind of person was not welcomed in the early days of entrepreneurship, and in today's stable environment, he is more useful than Beoff and others.
Task 1: Stabilize the survival rate of newborns and ensure that every family has the ability to provide pregnant women and babies with food and clothing for the first month after childbirth.
Aidan frowned, "Do those idiots know words?" ”
Lawrence smiled and said: "It seems that you didn't meet such a person who loves to learn when you were in Auroville, I have literacy requirements for my nobles, if you want to become a general and a noble knight, literacy is a necessary ability, and you also have to learn to count." ”
After developing to a certain extent, there is no need to do so desperately, the world is always moving forward.
Most of the nobles of the Frozen Lands were barbarians, illiterate, and most of them were free-spirited.
Lawrence jumps back and forth between sorcery and technology, eventually deciding what works and what develops, regardless of technology or sorcery.
"The number of cattle in Io has not yet recovered, and there are still not enough cattle in the Gran area, so most people have to use the human way to cultivate the fields."
After the cattle grow smoothly, it can be extended, and the annual rent is 300 catties of hulled wheat.
Mission 8: Hold a monthly banquet to celebrate with the nobles and warriors in the realm.
Lawrence handed the paperwork to Aidan.
"Have a nice trip, and if you come across an interesting crop on the way, you can have someone deliver it."
Lawrence walked behind his desk and sat down to write the paperwork for Aidan through customs.
The increase in agricultural output has allowed a farming family to feed more than a dozen people in addition to its own family of more than 10 people, and rich grain to feed more than a dozen people.
The next day, Lawrence wrote a letter to the lords everywhere, asking Seravin and the lords everywhere to complete the task according to the standards of their own territory.
Whether you know it or not, kings and prophets are noble statuses, and the world still values bloodlines and nobility.
It will take a few years for the steam engine to develop, and the current stage is the main force of farming.
The first is the instruction book for Serravin.
"Then I'll get out of here now."
They can do things honestly, and Lawrence is already very content and doesn't ask for too much.
It's not the first year that the Land of Stars has been built, and with the direction of the finger, many things are easy to go.
From soybeans, rice, potatoes, wheat, to fruits, vegetables, spices, and even pastures have been screened for many generations.
In terms of art, they have their own aesthetics, and in terms of urban construction and management, they all subconsciously follow Lawrence's governance system.
Adam believed that Lawrence did not need to lie about such a thing, and nodded in believing Lawrence's words.
This winter is definitely more lively than last year and the year before.
Lawrence's children were born like gourd babies, and the castle was full of the noise and cries of children.
The number of women who bask in the sun, drink tea and eat desserts every day has also increased from five or six to more than 100...... (End of chapter)
