Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Winter has not passed yet, and the winter in the ice land is extremely long. You may have to wear warm animal skins even in the afternoon in June.

The biggest problem here is actually not the cold, but the lack of light.

The continuous cloudy weather can easily make people feel lethargic and despairing.

Lawrence does not prohibit gambling and prostitution. First, the people here generally have no sense of morality. Many people have just slightly changed from the logic of gangsters and are not suitable for intensely pressing their heads to teach them how to do things.

Second, men here generally have little sympathy for women.

The war is about grabbing food and women. Now that we can control this group of people to hug their wives and not touch other people's wives, it is already a high-pressure control. It is not suitable to ban some unmarried and married men from going to brothels to spend money.

Many people no longer want to marry more wives under the polygamous, multi-child, multi-tax system established by Lawrence. Now there are still more women than men in the Ice Land. Whether or not prostitutes are banned has not much impact on the men of the tribe.

The third is that prostitutes mainly serve sailors and businessmen from various places, who have a strong need for women.

Lawrence, who has experienced civilized society, feels that prostitutes are a very common group, so he basically ignores this kind of thing, as long as it doesn't get in the way.

But while Lawrence was dealing with the busy work to be done in the spring, Stella came over.

"Prophet, the prostitutes in Dumu Port are soliciting customers again. They have made a deal with a twelve-year-old Durila boy."

Lawrence didn't want to pay attention to such nonsense, "If this is considered a crime, many old women in Pumexiu Town will go to jail."

Stella showed a puzzled expression, "Why do you say that?"

Lawrence didn't want to explain what he said. In the early years, after many men died in Pumixiu Town, the widowed aunts who couldn't hold it back began to attack the young men, using food to seduce the ignorant and powerful young men.

"The men and women here are not elves. They don't have such a long time to grow. Twelve years old is already considered a teenager. It's okay to try it. Just don't do it too often."

Lawrence did not want to convict, nor did he want to restrain the soldiers of this era with the morality of the future world, nor did he want to control too much.

No matter who it is, they actually don’t want to be controlled too much, even if it’s for their own good.

Except for necessary things, Lawrence actually rarely prescribed things for others. Most of the time, he was busy in the craftsman area, and rarely went to the agricultural areas outside Oak City to cause trouble for others.

The same goes for things like Gran and Io. Lawrence only cares about the general direction, and specific matters still follow local customs.

They said they had changed, but they did, and they killed many people.

To say it hasn't changed is pretty much the same. Some places are still the same as before. Most of the land is still managed by the original people, and it's still the local people who come and go.

Stella noticed Lawrence's indifference, but she felt that she must pay attention to this kind of thing.

"I think this kind of thing should be banned. These prostitutes solicit customers on the street and actively lure men in. This is a harmful behavior!"

Lawrence was helpless, "But I think a big part of the reason for this kind of thing is that men themselves want to get in."

Stella looked at Lawrence seriously, "So you think it should be ignored? This kind of intercourse that is not for the purpose of procreation, I think it is a crime and hurts both parties!"

Lawrence thought for four or five seconds and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Then ban them from soliciting customers on the street and ban them from sitting or standing in doorways wearing revealing clothing."

Stella smiled, "Yes, prophet!"

Lawrence put his hands on the table and expressed his opinion to Stella.

"This kind of thing cannot prevent them from finding customers. Just like soldiers need wages and farmers need food, some women come here from thousands of miles away just to make money."

"Compared to heavy work and harsh environment, many people prefer to make quick money. You must know that our sailors, workers and merchants and nobles here are the richest groups in this era."

"I believe that in order to find customers, they will also use various methods outside the rules to attract customers, such as going to pubs to eat and hook up with people, or looking for insiders to introduce customers, or other underhanded tactics."

"I would rather these prostitutes sell their bodies in a brothel than come out and fall in love with my people."

"Well, I stipulate that brothels must pay employee social security taxes, and they cannot be deducted from wages. I also stipulate the official guide price for prostitutes to receive clients and services, and also stipulate the commission for those people."

"The security tax will be returned to these prostitutes after they have worked for five years. At the same time, I will have people send them home. After five years, regardless of whether the operators are willing or not, these prostitutes no longer belong to them."

"Working hours must also be set. I will take care of this matter later. You are responsible for protecting the elves and not letting the children get lost."

Lawrence felt that Stella was more suitable to protect women and children.

It's not that she's good at protecting, but that she's particularly fair. She doesn't favor women, children, or men, but does things according to reason and rules.

"Okay." Stella accepted Lawrence's assignment. If the prostitute matter is resolved, there will be no problem at the port.

Prostitutes will definitely not seduce elves and wizards, but will arouse the murderous intention of these wizards.

The men in places such as Pumixiu Town and Dumu Port are mainly workers and soldiers. These groups naturally like to find women.

Lawrence has actually managed these people, established stable families for them, and arranged technical discussion groups and some study group activities to do.

Establishing a family is the best blow to prostitutes. The easier it is to get married, the fewer prostitutes there will be.

With fewer people getting married, there will naturally be more prostitutes.

Lawrence is too lazy to ban prostitutes. What he does is to increase the marriage rate so that men and women can have families, children and jobs.

The prostitutes in the Ice Land are all foreigners. Lawrence has always been selfish and does not like women in the Ice Land to become prostitutes. Even if he wants to arrange a group of unmarried women who can't find a partner to go out this year, he still thinks about these women and helps them improve their treatment.

Books are the best dowry. Lawrence took the time to write "A Guide to Household Management for Couples" with Cassandra.

From what postures can easily make couples have a better experience, to the signs and normal reactions of pregnancy, to the approximate time from pregnancy to delivery, how to care for a child just out, etc.

In the more than one month before the winter has dispersed and the spring has not yet arrived, Lawrence summoned various agricultural experts and technicians, and used everyone's wisdom to summarize a set of heavy books that were written temporarily.

After it was done, Lawrence just remembered that he had not yet popularized printing. Fortunately, there were a lot of idle nuns and international students who could do it for him, so he asked the intellectuals of the monastery to copy the book.

At the beginning, only more than a hundred people were used, and these more than a hundred unmarried women would leave the Ice Land to find a partner.

Although there were many young boys, there were more young girls. Lawrence always felt that these unmarried women in their thirties should open their eyes and see the world.

At the same time, it was also a small deterrent to the rest of the people!

These unmarried women did not leave in style. They were an immoral group punished and exiled by Lawrence, a group of old women who were not wanted and could not get married.

As the ruler of the feudal dynasty, Lawrence was not a non-marriage and non-childbearing person.

Not getting married and not having children was a malicious act that was hit in any feudal dynasty.

Lawrence still felt a little sorry, too soft-hearted, and felt that this was inappropriate.

"If a girl does not get married and does not make a major contribution, then her parents will leave this blessed land with her!"

As soon as the prophet opened his mouth, many parents who were not anxious at first quickly became anxious.

Lawrence didn't care at all. Anyway, as long as the basic base of the army and agricultural industry was not touched, it didn't matter how much he messed up.

The business was the least afraid of being messed up. Lawrence felt that if the business was not hit a few times, it would be easy to get out of control.

This time, the prostitutes went to the streets to solicit customers, which was a dangerous sign, so he severely punished the operators behind them.

The Ice Land is not big. Lawrence doesn't care about the several territories outside. He only cares about Dum Port, Pumixiu Town, Flying Fish Port, and Waterfall City.

There are no more merchants and nobles who are unwilling to abide by the rules. As long as this piece of soil exists, there will be no shortage of operators who are willing to obey and do things.

When Lawrence focused on the rear affairs, the Star Legion and the Holy Light Legion fought several more times.

There were wins and losses, and hundreds of people died in the wizard's sneak attack, but the front line advanced to the hometown of Catherine and Cassandra, Quelazi City.

The first kingdom in the south, the Kingdom of Northenli, has been bitten off a large piece of land.

A large number of refugees and prostitutes poured into the Ice Land from undefended places such as the ocean, forests and mountains.

Lawrence quickly ordered a strict ban on these people from entering the Ice Land, and sent more than 50 internal affairs officers with soldiers to stabilize the situation.

Compared with other kingdoms and forces, Lawrence is better at cultivating a set of middle and lower-level personnel, and can send a large number of grassroots managers to replace vacancies and quickly stabilize the situation.

Especially because of the warriors who are about to become knights because of their military exploits, they are very willing to learn relevant knowledge and experience.

The traditional rulers of rural areas and small towns rely on age and prestige. Many people do not know how to become a village head or town head even if they often meet these people.

There are a large number of production team leaders in Lawrence's territory. These people have led their team members to carry out construction tasks for more than ten years. As long as Lawrence gives them rights and qualifications, they can quickly become qualified town heads and organizers.

Artillery opens the way, and logistics supports it.

The wizards and knights of the Holy Light Church are still struggling frantically, but it is meaningless in the face of absolute strength.

After the snow in the south melted and the roads dried up, the battle line was advancing every day.

It's not that the southerners take advantage of the good weather to fight the northerners, but the northerners fight the southerners when the weather is good!

Lawrence received Lek's war report just after the spring plowing ended.

Lawrence said to Sophia beside him: "The city of Quelachi has been completely occupied. Although Catherine's hometown has become a desolate ruin, it has been protected, and the nobles of the entire city are willing to cooperate with our management."

Sophia said happily: "What should we do next? Support local puppets and colonize the southern kingdom, right?"

Lawrence was not interested in such things. "This year's ox-farming competition is about to start, and steam cars can also participate."

Sophia had no interest in such boring things. She sat in the train seat and looked at the mountains and rivers outside.

"Alas, my witchcraft is really useless. If my witchcraft is also water, it must be more useful than Heidi!"

Lawrence did not hit this blonde.

In fact, Sophia's ability is much more useful than Heidi's, especially in industrial applications.

Heidi can form a hydraulic combination with Lolita, and Sophia and Sariel can actually form an electromagnetic combination.

The electromagnetic combination is definitely stronger than the hydraulic combination!

But Sophia is not the kind of person who is willing to endure hardships. She has long passed the most suitable teenage period for learning. Now she is so lazy that she has spent most of her energy just to keep in shape. The rest is to compete for favor and enjoy, and she has no time to work hard.

Sariel has also passed the time when she can study quietly. Now she is in her thirties and doesn't want to learn too complicated things.

Besides, there are a lot of things to do every day. Salier is the mistress of this family and is responsible for various chores, big and small, most of the time.

The teenage years may be the time when you can study quietly.

Based on the people around him and some later thinking, Lawrence decided to set the marriage age after leaving school.

It should be about seventeen years old, so he simply set it at eighteen years old.

Forget about seducing minors in the past. After all, if modern laws and morals are used to require people in the past, whether men or women, few are clean.

But if you dare to do such things after Lawrence has made laws, you will have to taste the oppression of feudal rulers!

Lawrence's goal is to strengthen the knowledge level of the next generation of population, strengthen technology and self-value, so he requires marriage as late as possible.

The current Ice Land does not lack population, but lacks high-quality population.

Twenty years later, this problem will be more serious. The rise of science and technology requires a large number of educated people.

Although the current Star Country is invincible, the strength of the Star Country in twenty or thirty years will surge again! (End of this chapter)
