Mountain and Forest Kingdom

"Newcomers, get to work immediately after arranging your accommodation. You are not here to enjoy yourself!"

"Only by working can you be noticed by the God of Stars!!"

"Mount Agama doesn't support lazy people!"

"A slave who doesn't want to be a housekeeper is not a good slave! Work quickly and become a serf first!"

Most of the Pumixiu people soon turned into overseers, and this group of barbarians were only at home in this kind of work.

Businessman Hill did not expect that the Pumi Xiu people who were happy yesterday would start forcing the new men and women to work today.

But this is normal. These serfs are working outside. They are originally a group of working farmers.

Businessmen looked down on farmers. Hill was just surprised that Lawrence changed so quickly and didn't think there was anything wrong with Lawrence ordering these farmers to work.

At least there will be houses for these people to live in here, and they will not be asked to find ways to build houses on their own, or even borrow money to build houses.

After Lawrence learned that Hill and Turaka were leaving, he came to say goodbye.

"I've prepared some food that you can take with you on the way."

Lawrence presented two cans of yellow powder to Hill and Tukara.

Neither the old knight Tukara nor the businessman Hill had ever seen such a thing.

Hill asked, "What is this?"

"It's egg powder, a powder made from ground eggs." Lawrence said, "It's more troublesome to make, but it can be stored for several months. Eating more eggs is good for your body."

In this era of nutritional scarcity, all people need to worry about is whether they can eat eggs, not the issue of nutritional balance.

Easy to carry and rich in nutrients, this is enough.

Hill discovered the business opportunities inside, "Can I get more?"

"It can be exchanged." Lawrence was not that poor and generous, and had already thought about the approximate price. "I need wool, sheepskin, cattle and sheep livestock. Wine, grain, and slaves are also welcome."

Hill asked: “What about price?

Lawrence said: "The price is not expensive. One can is made from about sixty eggs. Plus the processing fee, one can is exchanged for an adult live sheep. This is something for nobles, especially young nobles." Children and knight warriors requiring heavy physical strength.”

Hill saw the same thing and quickly calculated the profit after hearing the price.

Compared with honey and beeswax, this egg powder is easier to carry. If sold to Western nobles, it can make three times the profit.

"Dear Prophet, I am willing to continue to cooperate with you, but the threat of the Vakiri forces me to be cautious every time I sail."

Hill expressed his worries. The most troublesome thing about this route was not the time, but the Valkyries and pirates on the road.

Lawrence said: "The affairs of the Valkyries require a king who can keep his word to talk to me. As for the bandits on the road, you can give them some wine and then tell the caravan that this is a deal with me."

"Many people here listen to me, and there are also many barbarians who are out to make a fortune and will give me face."

Lawrence used false words to win the trust of businessmen and said: "It is true that some people are too stupid to communicate, but I believe that those who survive are smart people."

With Lawrence's assurance, Hill again took off his hat in thanks.

The old knight Tukara said: "Brielle is living a good life here. I will pick up the other children when I go back. I hope you can give us a place to stay."

Lawrence smiled and said: "Of course, you can choose Dumu Village, which will become a very important port in the future. Of course, you can also choose Uge Village in the south, where it is warmer and the land is more fertile."

"You only need to pay me rent every year. There is no big difference between this place and Duruilabi, except that the taxes are lighter and it is more comfortable."

Tukara said happily: "Thank you for your kindness. I hope to get a piece of land for grazing in Uge Village and re-establish my knight territory."

"Yes." Lawrence was very talkative. "If you can hold on to your territory, I will allow your heirs to inherit this honor."

Tukara quickly became serious, and after making sure he heard correctly, he knelt down in front of Lawrence.

"I will come back as soon as possible, respected prophet, respected lord!"

Lawrence nodded, "It's getting late, let's go."

Turaka and the merchant set off quickly, boarded a big ship on the seaside and left here.

Along with Colin, this nun with aristocratic blood still wants to return to her hometown.

No one kept her.

It doesn't matter even if this woman is a member of the church. The church is only powerful in the areas they control, and they are not so easy to scare people outside of their influence.

The so-called trial knights and tribunals are mainly used for their own people.

Lawrence looked at the endless sea, and at the large brown kelp washed up by the sea. The bright spring is good, and you can see all kinds of resources.

I suddenly want to eat sea vegetables!

Lawrence looked at Brick, "You've come here, but you can't leave empty-handed. We happen to have people with fishing boats. Brick, do you know how to fish for sea vegetables?"

Ai Ali said: "We all know this. We often fish at the beach and pick up some seaweed to eat."

This place used to be the territory of the Dumu people. Emma and others rarely come here. Only Ai Ali and others are more familiar with the sea here than ordinary people because they have occupied this place for a period of time before.

Lawrence said: "Then let's salvage some edible sea vegetables together. I will wait for you here."

More than twenty people came here this time. Most of the people here can swim, and the sea water is not so cold this season. You will not die if you fall into the sea water.

Everyone quickly went to pick up and salvage fresh sea vegetables, and experienced people told them which sea vegetables could be eaten and which ones could not be eaten.

Lawrence sat on the beach and watched these people working. Salil, who followed him, asked, "Is it okay to give them our land?"

"It's not giving, it's renting. I need someone to help me manage the land." Lawrence explained: "I have thought deeply about this issue and this is the best way at the moment."

“Let’s lie first and then we’ll tell you.” Lawrence and Sariel told the truth.

Salil nodded, "That's right, he doesn't look strong."

Lawrence said: "But it's not too weak, especially if the whole family comes, it's easy to settle down in one place."

"I now need someone to quickly stabilize in Uge Village and have a sense of housekeeping."

Uge Village is very close to Lawrence's manor, so it doesn't matter if several families are arranged.

The existence of family influence exists in any country. This is something that has been inevitable since the birth of mankind.

A group of people are willing to change their beliefs and settle here. If they don't get some benefits, they will definitely not be able to keep them.

The internal problems within the family are also quite strange, because the land belongs to them, so basically everyone is a group of proletarians.

One after another, some people were arranged to work on the land for production and construction, some were trained around to resist strong enemies, and some were able to develop with themselves in their hometown.

Lawrence himself is not a character who is good at fighting. His own primitive accumulation is too slow. Coupled with the limitations of transportation conditions, he did not have much ambition from the beginning. He only planned to live in peace when he was almost done.

Salil had no intention of continuing to discuss this matter and quickly went over to help fish for kelp.

After brown kelp is blanched with hot water, all other substances except chlorophyll will be dissolved and it will change from brown to green.

After cutting some kelp from various locations, cooking it and tasting it, Lawrence found that kelp sprouts about one and a half palms wide tasted better.

In addition to kelp, there are wakame, seaweed and asparagus, as well as some washed up fish, shrimp and crabs.

This sea has accumulated wealth for tens of thousands of years.

Developing marine resources is very urgent!

It was a pity that there was a shortage of manpower. Lawrence could only look at the sea and sigh. The current population could not even fill the town of Pumixiu and Uge Village, and there was no extra manpower and material resources to develop marine resources.

"We must train some navigators, Valkyries..."

Lawrence now urgently needed a group of navigators and fishermen, and naturally he thought of the Valkyrie.

Although the current Valkyrie is still a threat, Lawrence has already had the idea of ​​​​biting him!

Only by swallowing up the Valkyries can our own navigation and shipbuilding technology develop rapidly.
