Mountain and Forest Kingdom

port of dume

Lawrence and Heidi discuss the construction of steamships in the shipyard together, and Sophia and Candice come to the Harbor Abbey.

"Welcome, Lady Sophia!"

The guard at the door quickly lowered his head and saluted.

Sofia has been here many times and remembered many people's names.

"Is Bull here?"

Even if Sophia knows many people's names, she doesn't need to say them out.

The guard replied respectfully: "The dean went to Valkyrie to visit Count Olaua."

Sophia walked in directly. Since Bull was not here, she could make the decision on matters here by herself, and there was no need to discuss with Bull.

"Candice, go and make arrangements with the nun here." Sophia directly threw all the questions to Candice.

Candice responded: "Yes, Lady Sophia."

After leaving everything she should do to the maid, Sophia went to the office to drink tea and wait for Candice to handle this matter.

Candice summoned a dozen nuns from the convent and told them about the arrangements.

"A lot of elves came to Oak City last year, which led to increased consumption for a period of time and not enough things."

"Under the guidance of our great and wise master, the crisis was quickly resolved."

"Similar things are not allowed to happen again this year, and the monastery must shoulder the awareness of always giving everything for Oak City and the Prophet."

"This winter's beer, potato wine, fruit wine and cloth must be given priority to Oak City."

Candice has notified local people such as Ironforge, Pumexiu Town, and South Town to provide iron tools, grain, tools, salt, rice, vegetables and other supplies according to the region.

After the nuns saw Candice finish speaking, they respectfully said: "Yes! It is the honor we pursue throughout our lives to give everything for the great prophet!"

Candice nodded, "Send the things up as soon as possible before it snows. When you come back, the prophet will give you the rewards that were not used last year. These are the ones you deserve."

"Yes!" All the old nuns thought there was no problem.

From a modern perspective, one would think that they could only get a tiny bit of scraps, but from the perspective of this era, their value is really not worthy of this scraps.

What kind of work can a group of ordinary women do in this backward era to eat meat and sugar?

Without a prophet above them, let alone this little bit of rubbish, it would be a question whether they could even live to the age they are now.

Happiness comes from contrast. The old nuns often see the old women outside working in the fields, selling vegetables and moving goods. They themselves have a deep understanding of this kind of thing. Letting them leave the convent when they are old is better than killing them. Interests.

Lawrence had the power to fire everyone, and he also had the ability to make everyone in the land have nothing, so his orders were law.

It doesn't matter whether it is moral or immoral. Keeping the ruling class full is what the bottom class must do in every era.

Even in the animal world, this is a matter of course.

The leader must be the one with the most resources and power.

Lawrence developed the economy and agricultural industry, bringing prosperity and abundance to this cold and wild land.

Even if the monastery fulfills the harsh requirements of the witch, it still has enough food and luxuries to survive this cold winter.

As long as residents have lived in Dumu Port for more than eight years, they can basically live a life without worries about food and clothing. Only the large number of uninvited immigrants in the later period will have a harder time.

No matter how bitter it is, it is dozens of times sweeter than their hometown.

If you work here, you will have food to eat and some oil and water, and no robbers or nobles will break into the house and take possession of their women and children.

There are patrols in Dumu Port, and there are security teams that can maintain law and order, stop drunkards from causing trouble, and stop fights in the streets. This is a very rare thing in this era.

The strong security capabilities have brought incredible security effects. Both merchants and pirates are willing to do transactions and consume here.

There are also several brothels opened in Dumu Port, which are run by noble women from outside, including female nobles from the Southern Kingdom, as well as female nobles from the Kingdoms of Haisenli and Kojako.

These people donated money to obtain the ability to open a brothel. Lawrence only asked that minors and no women from the ice land be allowed to engage in this kind of business, and then pay taxes on time and have regular medical examinations, and nothing else.

If a woman from the Ice Land is used to do such a thing, both the guarantor and the operator will be held responsible. If they use it once, one of their fingers will be chopped off.

Operators from several different countries have a tacit understanding of using their own populations and are unwilling to risk the consequences of angering the prophet.

In the evening Laurence and Heidi came to spend the night at the monastery.

"Master! Are you going back tomorrow morning?" Sophia quickly approached Lawrence and asked about work matters.

Lawrence smiled and said, "Well, the progress is pretty good. Heidi and I will just check it out often."

Heidi will live here for a while, combining steam engines and ships to create the latest style of steam ship.

"Master, I need to find some help in the monastery." Heidi wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and return to Oak City to live a comfortable life as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's go." Lawrence also had something to do, "I'm going to see the fish treasure."

Sophia followed Lawrence, "I've seen it. Yubao is in the cowshed. It turned out that there was a cow and a calf in the cowshed. The cow was bred with the bull last year and became pregnant. Now she is about to give birth in the next few days. Fish Bao will be waiting there all day long.”

Lawrence found it interesting and followed Sophia to find the fish treasure.

Yubao grew up drinking milk and has a special affection for the cows and calves that accompanied him when he grew up.

Although the calf is often not allowed to drink his own water, eat his own food, sleep in his own bed, or enter his own house, he always takes good care of the calf brothers.

Maverick is now a mature cow and can start a family and go out to work alone. However, under the care of Yubao, the heaviest job every day is to pull goods for the monastery.

The same goes for cows. Yubao often gives eggs to the cow and himself.

Lawrence quickly arrived at the cowshed, where veterinarians were already working.

The big cow was lying on the ground screaming, and an elderly human man was grabbing a blood mass with his hands.

"Let me do it." Lawrence took off his clothes and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms.

Only then did Yu Bao realize that Lawrence was approaching. He supported his upper body with both hands, raised his head with great effort and shouted happily: "Ouch!"

When the veterinarian saw Lawrence coming, he quickly moved away and said, "Prophet!"

"Well, it doesn't matter." Lawrence quickly stood behind the cow's butt, holding the cow's butt with one hand and gently holding the cow's shoulder with the other, helping the cow stand up.

The palm that touched the over-large butt was gentle and strong, and soon the cow's butt was gently lifted up.

After the mother gave birth to the calf a little bit, Lawrence began to gently pull out the bloody calf with his hands.

He has great strength, which is a must for being a veterinarian.

A healthy and strong body is Lawrence's greatest asset, which makes everything easier.

Lawrence, who constantly learns and accepts various useful experiences, also has experience ahead of his time in fertility issues.

The calf's head and neck were quickly pulled out from under the cow.

The cow quickly pulled the calf out easily and smoothly, as if her constipation had gotten off to a good start.

Yu Bao crawled over and looked at the bloody blood and slimy calf on the ground, and then looked at the timid calf brother not far away.

The calf brother seemed to be frightened. He lay quietly on the ground and looked at the cow and calf quietly.

There was still meat and blood hanging behind the cow's buttocks, and something like a red blood bag was hanging between the cow's body and the ground.

The cow quickly turned around and licked the calf on the ground.

The calf was panting and seemed to have little strength to stand up.

Lawrence looked at the dirty ground, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll handle the rest. You can go back with fifty pounds of potatoes and two pounds of meat."

"Yes." The veterinarian also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Yu Bao quickly shouted to the little nun Lana: "Woo!"

Lana knew what Yu Bao meant and said to the veterinarian: "Yu Bao said he would give you a fish."

The veterinarian looked at Lawrence nervously.

Lawrence nodded, "Take it, Yubao has received one-tenth of the reward from the fish school for its efforts. This is something I allow. Yubao can use this for himself."

The vet breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him.

In the land of ice, everything belongs to the prophet.

Speaking in front of the prophet about giving rewards to the prophet's people is something that goes against public knowledge.

Lawrence didn't mind that Yu Bao had his own little treasury, this little guy helped him a lot.

And maybe because of Doug's departure, Lawrence also wanted to take care of the remaining little guys.

"Yu Bao, don't get in the way here. Let's go catch fish with Lana. In the evening we will have fish and meat fried with beans and vermicelli soup."

"Ouch!" Yubao nodded quickly and was picked up by Lana to go to work.

Sophia covered her nose and said, "Master, wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of thing to the veterinarian? You always say that professional things should be left to professionals, and we don't have to worry about this."

The environment here is very bad, and the smell of blood and the disgusting smell of childbirth make Sophia very disgusted.

"I'm the most professional in this kind of thing." Lawrence still had to deal with the follow-up matters, and he didn't think Sophia was in the way. "You can go to the office and lie down. You are professional in this kind of thing."

Sofia nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go get someone to prepare dinner for you, and pack up the bath water and the big bed."

"Yeah." Lawrence responded casually.

After Sophia left, Lawrence tidied up the afterbirth on the back of the cow, and gave some water to shrink the area where the cow gave birth to the calf, so that the remaining afterbirth could be smoothly discharged.

For humans and animals alike, fertility is a hurdle.

Over the past ten years, relying on the exchange of experiences among a group of midwives, knowledge related to childbirth has been greatly improved.

The Church of the Stars does not exclude knowledge between men and women, and even popularized it very early due to special reasons.

Knowledge education for pregnant women has also been popularized very smoothly, and men are also allowed to engage in this special industry.

Lawrence himself is this type of talent, not because he has talent, but mainly because he understands some common sense issues better than people of this era, such as body structure and the like.

In the past few hundred years, there was not much communication experience, and many things relied on adventure and hot-headed attempts.

Whether it is success or failure, it is difficult to record it and will be forgotten soon.

In the past ten years, the collision of knowledge and ideas in the Kingdom of Stars has far exceeded the accumulation of hundreds and thousands of years ago.

It can also be said that thousands of years of accumulation finally have a summary period.

The Kingdom of Stars is not only the host and initiator of this feast, but also the biggest beneficiary.

Envoys and scholars from various countries will come here to communicate and learn, and they will also leave works recording their names and thoughts here.

If the honor pursued by warriors is conquest, then what scholars and some nobles pursue is to have their names and ideas passed down.

Most people pursue achievements in poetry and politics. Men like Lawrence who understand veterinary medicine, agriculture, and gynecology, which others look down upon, are too rare.

When Yubao and Lana came back, the calf could stand up tremblingly.

Lawrence was cleaning the cowshed with cleaning tools, and grass feed was also placed in the trough of the cowshed.

"I have already added the feed. You can just add a little more when you sleep. Not too much. You can add two raw eggs."

After seeing Yu Bao and Lana come back, he gave some instructions and told Yu Bao and Lana how to take care of the calf.

After dark, Lawrence left here at the urging of Sophia and Catherine, went back to take a shower and prepare for dinner.

Lana and Yubao held up oil lamps and looked at the cows and calves in the cowshed. Lana said to the little Yubao lying on the stone: "The benevolent prophet has blessed the calf, let's go eat. Bring two more eggs to Daniel when you come back later.”

"Woo!" Yubao was also a little hungry and happily went to eat with Lana.

Although Yubao and Lana appear to be very unruly most of the time, they are also the rare people with whom Lawrence can communicate happily.

Yubao and Lana also like Lawrence very much. Lawrence has always been very easy to talk to, and every time he comes over, both fish and people feel that something good will happen.

The next day, Lawrence prepared to return to Oak City.

While getting ready, I saw Heidi walking over.

"Master, there is nothing going on at Yubao's fishing ground in autumn and winter. Can you help me study the operation of steamships in the water?"

Lawrence smiled when he heard Heidi's request, "That shouldn't be possible. You can teach Yubao some knowledge about steamships to prevent him from getting too close to steamships in the future."

"But forget about letting it help. Autumn and winter are when seals and walruses are rampant. At this time, Yubao has to work with the hunting team to protect the fishing ground, which is very important to it."

The fish in the fishery are the source of Yubao's pocket money. Due to Yubao's habit of giving away a few fish to others, there are not many fish that can be used in a year.

Therefore, cracking down on fish thieves is a major event of the year for Yubao! (End of chapter)
