Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The next day at breakfast, Lawrence asked about Anyur.

"Is there anything going on with Anyur this morning?"

"Everything is going well there. Those witches are not used to using chopsticks to eat. Now they are changing their habit of grabbing food with their hands and letting them learn to take a bath, wash their hands and clean their hair."

Emma, ​​standing behind Lawrence, was responsible for handling this type of news.

Lawrence is not in a hurry about this kind of thing, the wild nature definitely needs to be corrected slowly.

"That's good, just take your time."

Salil was a little curious about Kharan's daughter, "What is the child's ability? Is it the same ripening function as Kharan?"

Lawrence said: "It's a matter of getting bigger and hurricanes. She can become a giantess twice as big as she is now. She can pick you up like a child with one hand. Her body weight and strength will increase accordingly, and her strength will not be stronger than that of a mountain." Piggy."

"The hurricane ability is very common. If combined with her huge body, it should be somewhat effective."

"It will definitely be useful on the battlefield!" Salil thought about the role of this enlargement ability on the battlefield.

Lawrence raised his lips slightly, "The thing that gives me the greatest sense of accomplishment is that I don't need to use many abilities that should have great power on the battlefield."

"As long as she is willing to become our family, I will not let her do such dangerous things. After all, her mother has done a lot."

Kehalan wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at Lawrence, "I don't want to share your love for me with her, and I don't want to be responsible for her things."

"Don't mind, I'm just making an analogy. Anyur is Anyur, and you are you." Lawrence just loves the house and the wife, and doesn't know how to get involved.

Lawrence quickly said: "In short, let's leave this matter as it is, take your time."

Lawrence was full, and so were the others, and the food began to be removed from the table.

Next it’s time to talk.

Heidi took the initiative to ask about the next arrangements.

"Master, the spring plowing has ended, and the last gray elves have joined us. Are we going to attack the Elf Royal Court next?"

Lawrence waved his hand quickly, "There's no hurry about this. I plan to improve the agricultural technology in the territory first. Our food consumption will be more and more in the next few years, so we need to prepare more as soon as possible."

There are enough elves now, and Lawrence doesn't want to add any more mouths to eat.

In particular, there are many high elves around the Elf Queen. These elves will definitely adapt to the luxurious life here faster after surrendering.

These elves can do very little except eat and give birth to children, which can do more harm than good.

Attacking the elves is actually very unnecessary. The elves will only attack smaller countries that are weaker than them, and will not provoke the Kingdom of Stars.

Heidi asked: "What should we do then? Go to Snow Mountain Castle?"

"Snow Mountain Castle really needs support." Lawrence suggested: "Heidi, you go there first. I will go there with Catherine in a few days."

Heidi nodded in agreement, "Yes, Master."

Lawrence got down to business.

“My plan is to improve the technology of raising cattle. In addition to scaling up the feed and environment for raising cattle, the most important thing is to improve the quality of agricultural tools.”

Sophia didn't understand this. "To improve the technology of raising cattle, just find those who know how to raise cattle. What does it have to do with agricultural equipment?"

This is what Lawrence has to say.

"Agricultural tools refer to agricultural tools such as rakes, shovels, and sowing boxes for cultivating the land."

“Improving the quality and effectiveness of farm tools can reduce the use of cattle.”

"Improve the quality and effect of the harness, make the harness more reasonable, and allow the cattle to exert force more comfortably."

“If the cow can push comfortably, it will use much less force, and it will eat less.”

"With less hard work, the lifespan of the cattle will also increase."

"In the past, there were few iron tools, so people were reluctant to use good things. In fact, upgrading farm tools can save feed, protect the life of cattle, increase the speed of plowing, and save effort for both people and cattle."

Salil nodded, acknowledging Lawrence's reasoning, then tilted her head and looked at Lawrence curiously, "Why didn't you think of this before?"

"I can't help it even if I think about it." Lawrence said truthfully, "Some things require experience to explore. I only knew roughly before, but I didn't know how the cow felt."

"Recently I discovered that Yubao knows how to put a harness on a cow. Yubao seems to be able to communicate with the two cows he grew up with. He can understand the cows' feelings and know whether they are comfortable or not."

"But Yubao can't speak, and he can't explain clearly when discussing this matter with him, so I borrowed the style of Yubao's ox cart and improved a few sets of wooden harnesses. I'll study it in detail with Catherine later."

Catherine can transform into a unicorn. In the past, Lawrence didn't want her to use her ability frequently, but now that her body has recovered, there is no problem.

Moreover, if you do not use your innate witchcraft for a long time, it may be bad for your health and accumulate too much witchcraft energy.

Salil had another question, "The harness used by Catherine must be different from other cows. Is it a different size?"

Lawrence explained: "As long as you know the principle, it's like an arithmetic formula. I need to figure out the general structure first, and then add the details."

Salil nodded, no problem.

The others were not as interested in this kind of thing as Salil, and they quickly dispersed to do their own things.

Lawrence is willing to answer other people's questions, but unfortunately, except for Salil, basically all the women around him are not interested in this kind of thing.

Even Heidi and Sofia only pay attention to some things for the sake of performance, and don't pay much attention to them once the purpose is achieved.

Over the next few days, Lawrence began making saddles for cattle and Dom sheep.

Most of the saddles used by people in this era for cattle and wild boars were tied around the neck.

If tied to the horns, the cow will not move, so it will be tied to the neck.

This kind of rough work is very harmful to cattle, causing most barbarians to pull ropes to plow the fields themselves.

Lawrence used to put a collar on the cow and exert force from the front chest and back, which improved slightly.

Now I just spent time recollecting the things in my memory, and based on the vague memory of herringbone, I made a farming tool that allows the shoulders of oxen to use force to pull carts and farm tools.

He couldn't remember what this thing was called before, so Lawrence simply chose a name that savages could understand and remember and wouldn't spread around.

Cow neck collar.

The cow neck harness is made of wood. It’s not that iron is unaffordable, but wood is more comfortable.

Both the Ice Land and Feiyu Port had a large number of carpenters. After Lawrence sent a few samples there, various places began to make such props for cattle.

Not only the equipment of farm cattle has been upgraded, but also the equipment of large livestock such as Dom sheep, moose and wild boar.

Oxen that could originally pull one ton of goods can now easily pull two tons with the same strength.

The invention of the harness is of great significance to this period, and is more useful than dozens of witches. (End of chapter)
