Mountain and Forest Kingdom

After the Fried Chicken Festival, most of the Star Country was busy collecting fuel wood.

Children and women began to collect branches from nearby forests, and people from lumber camps would bring back fuel for their families.

This year, Pumixiu Town has expanded a circle of houses to form a unique first and second ring area.

The first ring is near the Colossus of the Prophet in the middle of the town. This is the center of the entire town and the most sacred place.

The cross streets outside the central area are all buildings and are collectively called a ring of buildings.

After the population increased, the cross streets began to spread outward. After being separated from the previous buildings by 20 meters, second ring buildings were built around the outside of the ring road. The road in the middle was also called the second ring road.

Outside the Second Ring Road is the Second Ring Road.

The nearby mountains were dug out if they could be dug out, and stones and soil were piled up if they couldn't be dug out, and houses were built directly on the mountains to form buildings of different heights.

Lawrence rode the bird-lizard beast to the outside of the town. Standing near the farmland, he could hear the noise of building houses in the distance, as well as the shouts of soldiers practicing.

This winter, small groups of troops will be sent out to plunder. One hundred people will be assigned to each place to form a legion of 500 people for scattered operations.

The purpose was to attack the local nobles' guarding force, but there was no requirement to capture prisoners.

Catch what you can, and prioritize ensuring that you have enough food and can fight easily.

Lawrence doesn't have much need for population right now, and its first priority is to annex Tlandaho City so that the population there is its own.

The current town of Pumixiu cannot accommodate too many people, and the current food reserves and fuel reserves are also a bit tight.

If people starve to death, it will have an impact on our side.

Lawrence came to the church. The men in the church yard had been waiting for a long time.

The expressionless Alekmu bowed to Lawrence.

"Prophet, this year's wheat harvest in Feiyu Port has been completed. A total of 2,207 baskets of wheat, 1,000 baskets of rye, 500 baskets of barley, and 200 baskets of oats were harvested."

Lawrence nodded, very satisfied with the staff of the Io Kingdom.

The opponent's command ability on the battlefield is not bad, and he can use his brain better than most barbarians, but he cannot command the berserker who is a high-end combat power.

In terms of internal affairs, he is also better than Seraven, and can preside over the production work of the territory and stabilize most things in the territory.

However, the technology is backward, the thinking is backward, and the management method is also backward, which is very inconsistent with my own place, so it seems useless.

Judging from this era, Alekmu is already a rare all-rounder.

He can manage the internal affairs of the territory, has strategies and plans, and has good personal force. He understands the affairs between nobles. He is not as arrogant towards ordinary people as ordinary nobles, and they do not look down on others.

"Well, we have too many things to do this year. We haven't had time to cultivate more land, and water conservancy facilities and animal husbandry have not really developed."

"A harvest like this is already very good. You did a very good job."

Alekmu said calmly: "Yes, Prophet."

Lawrence rode the Dom sheep towards the outside, "Follow me, I will take you to see the water channel we have here."

Alekmu quickly followed.

Lawrence looked back and said, "Get on your deer. We have to go to the mill later. According to your intelligence, you should be able to understand our waterwheel here."

Alekmu said respectfully: "I have read it, but I don't understand some parts."

"Then come and see with me, and I will tell you the secret of the waterwheel." Lawrence was very patient. "In the future, Feiyu Port will also build a waterwheel."

"I plan to open the road between the Agama Mountains and Feiyu Port in winter, let the river water from the mountains go down through the dam we made, and use the power of the current to push the waterwheel."

"Ironmaking, irrigation, dough making, and papermaking all require waterwheels. You will be very busy in the future."

Alekmu was thinking about the waterwheel, and quickly got a deer to ride on, and followed Lawrence to learn the technology.

Lawrence took some guards to patrol the mountains. Today he did not take Sophia, nor Salil and Catherine.

This is your own kingdom, and it's like taking a walk in your own backyard.

The road that has been used for five or six years has become smoother and more natural. Now it takes less than two hours to get to the manor from Pumixiu Town. If you run faster, you can get there in an hour.

As soon as we got close to the manor, we heard the creaking sound of the waterwheel.

Flour shipped by sea is prone to moisture, so wheat is shipped in. And most of this year we were busy, so there was still a lot of wheat that had not been ground properly.

The waterwheel on the manor side has always been running. In addition to the originally manufactured waterwheel, Luxander and the craftsmen worked together to build a simple water-powered blower specifically used to heat the stove.

Waterwheels, pressurized water wells, lumberyards, churches, public kitchens, water storage reservoirs, drying pools for making potato flour, various houses, kennels, watchtowers...

The development here was already very good, and it should be getting better and better. As a result, Lawrence and others moved to Big Oak, causing the development here to remain the same as when they left.

There are not many people left, many are Kojako and Durila people, and now it is managed by Navia.

Lawrence allowed the nuns to get married and have children, and only stipulated that the saints should serve him, and not reluctantly.

Saints are witches such as Sophia, and nuns are women such as foreign students and Navia.

There are enough women around him at present, and Lawrence is not very interested in witches. Unless those witches and witches came by themselves, Lawrence would not bother to look for them.

The same is true for ordinary people. Just like Kharan said, it is difficult for him and ordinary people to have offspring.

Also, the shelf life of women here is too short. Five years have already made Emma a little deformed. Lawrence doesn't want a group of aunts around him to ogle him in two or three years.

Except for witches, ordinary women will quickly become fatter and rounder when they reach Emma's age.

Now Emma still has the beauty of a woman in her mid-twenties, but she looks like she is in her mid-thirties in a civilized society, and will really become a middle-aged woman in two or three years.

The same goes for Countess Olaua. These few years have been her last years of youth.

Lawrence looked in the mirror every day and felt relieved after discovering that he was not aging so quickly.

In fact, he doesn't care that much about future generations. At present, he still focuses on enjoying his own happiness. Like all wizards, he only cares about his own happiness.

Lawrence and Alecmu saw the waterwheel and then went to Ironforge to see forging.

The craftsmen here are Lawrence's die-hard supporters and are more loyal than those outside.

As supporters of Lawrence, these people also received a stable living environment and generous rewards after providing technology and hard work.

Alekmu visited Lawrence's arsenal, technical workshops, logistics base and other places.

When going down the mountain, Alekmu asked: "Prophet, you have told me all these, and you are not worried that I will spread them to the outside kingdom?"

Lawrence showed a confident smile, "I really hope you are like this, so that other countries can also develop. I hope to use more technology to let more people live, and then rely on the power of more people to produce Give us amazing props that make our lives better.”

Alecmu nodded, interpreting this as Lawrence's confidence and kindness.

Lawrence didn't care what Alecmu thought, the technology of making saltpeter and gunpowder would not spread by itself.

Starting next year, people will be sent to the mountains to grow saltpeter, and materials such as sulfur will also be collected to develop artillery that can be equipped on ships.

This naval battle and the duel with the wizard made Lawrence realize the gap between himself and the wizard. If he didn't develop artillery with a distance of 100 meters, he would not be able to fight in the future.

However, next spring and summer are almost here, and many public toilets have been built in the area with tens of thousands of people. Next year, we may be able to collect a lot of traditional saltpeter. (End of chapter)
