Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Civilization is an appearance, but in fact it requires violence.

Without the support of violence, no matter how powerful a civilization is, it will be destroyed by unruly bandits one by one.

Just like a businessman without the protection of the country and the army, he is a lost little sheep in other people's territory.

After returning home, Lawrence quickly inspected his territory and took Salil, Emma and others to the town of Pumexiu.

Emma and Saryl went to Andrew to deliver food and wine, and Lawrence, Tim, and Sophia came to the sheepfold in the town to check on the situation.

"This sheep looks lethargic. It will definitely not be able to stand the dreary weather during the night. We will take it to the mountains to raise it later. If it doesn't grow up well, we will eat it."

"Now drive it to a separate sheepfold, and we will take it away later."

Lawrence identified the weakest sheep, which was currently the most suitable for culling.

At this time, besides Sophia, there was only one little follower, Tim, who came down to see his brother.

It seems that Sofia, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, has no intention of working at all.

Six-year-old Tim looked at the sheep that reached his chest and wiped his mouth happily, "Okay! Yes, Master!"

The little girl quickly went to fetch the sheep, while Lawrence stood at the door to look after them.

Lawrence watched Tim drive the sheep into the stone sheepfold, then blocked the wooden door at the exit of the stone wall, and carefully tied the door.

Tim has never lost a sheep or pig, but there was a time when a child in the village accidentally forgot to close the door and let the sheep and pigs escape.

There were workers scattered around the manor and town, and most of the property here belonged to Lawrence, so the stray sheep and pigs were quickly driven back.

The child who made a mistake was taught a lesson by his family, and the other children in the neighborhood also learned the consequences of that behavior.

Lawrence was unwilling to buy children from caravans for similar reasons. Without proper education and strong supervision from adults, the purchased teenagers would be a bunch of trouble.

The children in the village have the supervision and education of their parents, and their brothers and sisters as role models. They can easily gather together even if they are attacked by bandits.

Moreover, living in another person's home is also a problem. Living in someone else's house is also troublesome. Putting it in a manor is also troublesome. Newly bought slaves must be supervised.

Sariel and Emma came back quickly and shouted to Lawrence: "Lawrence, we can go back."

Lawrence didn't want to leave just a few minutes after coming down, "Let's go shopping in the town. I'll wait for you at the church."

Salil came over and said, "What's there to see? It's winter now."

Lawrence thought so, so he walked to the church.

I didn't take Catherine with me today. It's not good to walk in the snow often. I have to take a rest occasionally.

As I walked slowly along the street, nearby pedestrians greeted me respectfully.

Lawrence quickly reached the Colossus.

There was only one outsider sitting in the open space of the market, with a sheep carcass in front of him.

This is a man with a dog, and beside him squats a long-haired dog that looks like a mastiff.

Dogs and pigs in this world are like fish. There are many types, and their appearance is also different. Some are used for hunting, some are used for pulling, and some are pet dogs, but most of them have a warning function.

"Um, who is this person?" Lawrence called to Um who was staring here.

Umuji said quickly: "Master, he is a freeman in the Sidel territory. He wants to exchange mutton for wheat or rye."

Lawrence walked over and said to the man: "I am the lord here, what price do you want in exchange?"

Hall quickly said: "I am Hall, the benevolent prophet. I heard that you have wheat here. I would like to exchange this sheep for thirty cans... No, twenty-five cans will do!"

Lawrence looked at the man's attire. He was obviously an ordinary farmer, but he was able to reach him alone in this cold winter.

Even with the help of the dog, Lawrence gained some attention and curiosity about this man.

"How did this sheep die?"

Hall said carefully: "My leg was twisted by the door when I entered the sheepfold. It happened this morning."

Lawrence knelt down and lifted the sheep up by its horns. The sheep's leg was indeed injured, but the cause of death was probably a stab wound on the neck, and he was killed immediately.

The blood had been drained away, and the sheep's skin had been peeled off, leaving about thirty kilograms of meat and bones.

If you exchange more than thirty kilograms of mutton and mutton bones for thirty kilograms of wheat, you will suffer a loss.

If survival is the premise, thirty pounds of wheat can help a family live for half a month longer, but thirty pounds of mutton with bones cannot.

"Okay." Lawrence nodded and said to Um: "Pack thirty pounds of wheat for him, and take this mutton to the church for extra meals."

"Yes, Master!" Umu agreed happily.

Hall also knelt on the ground happily and said, "Thank you, merciful prophet!"

"Get up." Lawrence asked, "How did you get here?"

Hall replied: "Come here, I walk fast, and others call me Hall with Long Legs."

Lawrence looked at Hall's dog again. The long-haired dog behaved very honestly. It didn't bark when it saw Lawrence or Um taking the mutton in front of it.

"You are a very obedient dog."

Hall introduced: "Yes, he is a good friend of mine."

Lawrence smiled and said: "I also have some dogs, but I don't have much time to play with them. Seeing that you have a companion to accompany you, I think of myself."

"I think it is not easy for you and your companions to walk here from Sider in this cold winter. Since you have arrived in this god-given land and met me, I should give you some small A small reward.”

"How about a full meal?" Lawrence smiled and said: "You and your dog can go to the tavern to have a full meal, and the money will be recorded in my account. You can go back after you are full."

Hall thanked him excitedly. This time he not only knelt down, but also held the long-haired dog with one hand and knelt down to thank him, "O prophet of mercy!"

Lawrence did not continue talking to Hall, and soon asked him to have a full meal. He also went to the church to chat with international students from various countries about foreign music.

These international students were idle, so Lawrence asked them to compose songs using their own words.

According to normal development, if these people cannot create new things, they will translate and adapt old things to hand in tasks.

This is exactly what Lawrence wanted.

It is easy to get tired of eating and drinking, and Lawrence felt that some work was also needed to adjust to the oppressive feeling brought by the climate.

Copying and translating texts, designing buildings, designing furniture and clothing, envisioning urban planning.

Lawrence seems to be prostituted for his labor and creativity, but for the aristocratic women and underappreciated young people of this era, this is a blessing!

They can design their own clothes, design their own tools and houses, and even change the city they live in!

Ancient people actually needed to recognize values ​​more, and could easily burst out their outstanding potential due to the recognition and needs of those around them.

Lawrence solved the problem of food and clothing, let these people eat well, drink well and live well, and divided the precious lighting beads into four.
