There are still many people who have received condolences from the cold winter.

It was a good year, nothing big happened, and no one died because of the war.

Grain production has increased everywhere, and Western countries have sent gifts and goods, so that the warehouses that were about to be squandered by the war are gradually enriching again.

This year of recuperation has brought about demographic, economic, and cultural prosperity.

Last year's new clothes were not worn out, and this year, although many families have children, the demand for new clothes is actually not so high, which alleviates the increasingly tight demand for fabrics to a certain extent.

Except for the elves, there have been few people imported from outside in the past two years, so most of the farmers who have become rich have a certain risk tolerance, and they have also accumulated some reserves against severe cold and natural disasters.

Inside Oak City, Lawrence couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the bill handed over by Saliel.

If he hadn't respected Emma's choice and asked um to get a workout like Beoff, um wouldn't have become the waste he is now.

While chatting with Dana in the living room one night, Lawrence suddenly notices that Tim, who is standing not far away, is already taller, taller than Emma.

Lawrence smiled and comforted, "There are only one or two hundred elves in our castle, and the other elves are either in the village or in the snowy mountain castle. ”

"Tim's kid isn't smart, I'm not smart, we can't choose the best path for us, it's not easy, it's really hard."

Sariel wanted to know the answer, "So what now?" This year's production of candy, soy sauce, wine and seasonings is only half of last year's, obviously there are already a lot, but there are thousands more elves, and I am not happy to share them with anyone. ”

When the new year arrived, Lawrence had more candy and clothes than expected to reward the maids.

"They are not destined to have a tenth of your wisdom, and your intervention is the most merciful gift than to let the immature choose the path."

When the day comes when the resources are enough for everyone to consume, there is naturally no need to continue.

Lawrence was even more helpless, "I can't do this kind of thing, many elves are pregnant with my children, plus I have accepted their refuge, I can't destroy the good relationship we have established because of the current problem." ”

"She can change her mind at any time and choose what she thinks is a better life."

Lawrence can't say anything about Sariel, Sariel is logical, and Lawrence just wants to reassure her not to worry.

These holy light stones absorb a lot of sunlight, and the light intensity is relatively soft, as long as they don't bask for too long, there is no problem.

On the contrary, Clara and Lolita next to Tim are still two girls, one big and one young.

Sarile often thinks Lawrence is naïve and comes up with all sorts of unreasonable ideas.

"If you want to eat, you have to work, I work every day, I often go to work in the fields, and the elves have to do things."

After the arrival of the long eternal night, Lawrence built a room inlaid with a large number of illuminated stones for pregnant women to bask in the sun.

"Not all elves need to be raised by me, and Stella is trying to persuade them to become self-reliant and build towns in the mountains and forests."

"There should be a clear hierarchy."

When there are more resources, you don't need this, but now that you don't have enough resources, you have to do it.

The same goes for Bull's children, Lawrence never interferes with their own choices, but Bull and Emma ...... Didn't choose the right direction for their children.

"Even the nuns of the convent have to work every day."

"They have great God-given abilities, and it would be miserable to eat and not work every day."

The long eternal night is the favorite season for little girls.

Lawrence decided to create a hierarchy in the castle, and if he continued to enjoy the treatment of a mistress as long as the woman who was related to him was in a relationship, then the current resources would not be enough at all.

Even in ordinary peasant households, there is a clear hierarchy, and whoever eats meat and drinks soup is the rule.

No matter what the system is, there must be a hierarchy, and without a hierarchy, it is impossible to clarify the consumption of resources.

um is actually similar, it can be said that he chose the path himself, but in fact he knew what was the right path in the first place.

Catherine's child was born, and Lawrence named him Aesop.

"Yes." Lawrence gently agreed, and then added: "Tim is the child I watched grow up, and I take better care of her than anyone else, whether it is to go out to get married, to go to the convent to become a nun, or to continue to be a maid by my side." ”

Emma walked over and asked respectfully, "Master, what are your orders?" ”

Lawrence pondered, "I remember when I first came here, Tim was still milking in your arms, and now that Tim is fourteen or fifteen years old, are you going to let this kid stay here forever, or go out and get married?" ”

"The productivity has not developed much, and the increased seasoning and food production is only a little bit, and it is eaten by a group of gluttonous elves."

Emma was very frank, "Tim, this kid is not pretty, and he is not very smart, and if she goes outside, she will definitely have the same unfortunate life as me used to, so I implore you to let her stay with me and continue to do things for you." ”

Emma showed a sad expression, "Master, I would prefer you to choose a path for her, I talked to Bull about Tim, and Bull told me that your excessive kindness and freedom will make the children lose the opportunity to go right. ”

"Yes." Emma sat down on the couch on the other side.

Lawrence is educated by Emma and finally realizes his mistakes.

Lawrence was very active, and quickly pooled the food and resources that would otherwise be available for women to squander at will, reducing the unlimited demands and splurge of these people.

Despite some dissatisfaction, the elves have not forgotten the memories of their time in the forest, so they still accept this kind of life of still being able to eat and drink, and do not object to the witchcraft research and work that they have promised.

After the elves know how to make various foods, they will make the corresponding seasonings and props themselves, from simply asking for one party to production, processing, manufacturing, and consumers.

"I will make some plans and goals for each elf, including those who are pregnant, how much work to do and how much to eat every day."

"It's okay if you don't want to talk to others, just do things honestly, and in the future, we will also use points to buy all kinds of food and supplies in the castle."

"Sit down and talk." Lawrence motioned for Emma to sit down.

"Just do more next year, even if it's too late now." Lawrence gives a practical approach, "Even if it's winter outside, it's warm like spring in our castle, and there's a lot that can be done. ”

"They're not stupid, they have a good life ready-made, but they have to go to the forest and start over, since they have all surrendered, why don't they eat you?"

"Emma." Lawrence called Emma.

Sariel directly proposed, "Then drive them to the forest?" ”

If she had said it, Emma would have supported it at the beginning, instead of making up her own mind.

"Then let Tim stay, work in the kitchen for a few years, and by the way, let Clara and Lolita also help in the kitchen, and then be your deputy in a few years, and learn the management of the manor and castle clutter."

Emma stood up and bowed excitedly to Lawrence, "Thank you, master!" ”

Lawrence said with emotion: "No thanks, continue to sit down and talk, this incident is my New Year's gift to you, you will never be alone by my side." (End of chapter)
