Chapter 628 Warm Spring

The provocation was just an episode, an event that was bound to happen.

Lawrence found that he still underestimated the impact of violence. People in this era pay more attention to strength rather than wisdom and organization.

"I should tell them the role of organization, and I did so."

"But they didn't listen."

Lawrence was helpless with the wisdom of most people. The victorious party rarely learned lessons, let alone reflected.

If they failed one day and were beaten badly, this group of people would know the importance of some things.

Now it's going smoothly, so many people don't think they have any problems.

It seems that most people are like this, taking advantage of the wind and waves and investing against the wind.

"Forget it, it's the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and I don't intend to be a perfect person, just do whatever makes me happy."

Lawrence quickly stopped thinking about these annoying things. As a prophet, he shouldn't be so busy, he just needs to be responsible for many big things.

Usually do your own things, and take out more than ten days a year to preside over sacrifices and celebrations.

The advantage of the feudal system is that you don't have to worry about many things. You give up some rights in exchange for the maintenance of the central government by the local government. As long as the military power of the center is not left behind, the feudal lords on the periphery can't do anything.

Whether it is a feudal system or a centralized system, the main reason for the demise is that the ruling class itself has problems.

It is impossible for the ruling class not to have problems. This is impossible.

The royal power is not eternal, but most dynasties will definitely have no problem persisting for one or two hundred years as long as they don't mess around.

Lawrence thinks he is a normal person, and a hundred years should be no problem.

But we must also lay some foundations for the future, such as the development of agriculture and industry. As long as these can keep up, no matter who we meet in the future, we can fight.

After returning to the Oak Castle, Lawrence called Heidi, Sophia, Avenla, Audrey, Darien, Sariel, Emerald, and Cassandra to a meeting.

The first to arrive was the Avenla trio. The trio was not strong in strength and presence, but they were all very practical.

After the three came over, they bowed their heads to Lawrence.

"Master."

Lawrence nodded in response, "Sit down and wait for the others to come to discuss things."

"Yes, Master." The three of them sat in a seat far away from Lawrence in tacit understanding.

Soon, several other people came over one after another.

Sophia came over and sat directly on Lawrence's right.

Heidi came over and saw that there was a seat, so she sat on the other side of Sophia, not on Lawrence's left.

Sariel casually chose an empty seat, which was neither the closest to Lawrence nor the outermost seat, but it was easy to see anyone at the round table.

Cassandra came over and saw that there were still a few empty seats, so she sat next to Salier.

Emerald came over and also sat in an empty seat farther away.

Lawrence raised his left hand directly, "Sit here, there are no other people, I'm here to discuss government affairs with you."

Emerald came over and sat next to Lawrence. She originally thought that this seat was for Salier, Rastana or Dana Catherine, so she didn't sit there.

After everyone sat down, Lawrence looked at the empty seat.

Witches also have a strong sense of hierarchy, usually distinguished by blood, such as half-blood and pure-blood.

Later, they distinguished by their relationship with each other. Even pure-blood witches like Dana and Divkris, who value blood, did not use the term "half-blood" to mock Sophia and Sariel.

The concept of hierarchy is instinctive, but they are not stupid enough to apply this logic everywhere. Witches are very clear that blood witches are nothing in front of them.

If they don't care, it will be stupid for others to laugh at others with the rules of this backward area.

"Today, let's discuss the treatment of each level and make a more obvious distinction between the positions of the lower level, so that those who choose professional skills can do professional things."

Lawrence didn't call others because some people are not good at thinking.

Two and a half of the three people in Awenla are women who can think. Audrey and Darien are not strong in themselves, so their brains are very active and can provide various useful suggestions that are suitable for human nobles.

Awenla is strong in strength and execution. She knows more about the female guard system than Lawrence. She is one of the loyal guards.

For the position of personal guard, Lawrence tended to give it to a loyal minister like Awenla.

Soon Heidi and Sophia began to speak enthusiastically, and Audrey and Darien also added some of their own suggestions.

Salier was drowsy, maybe because of the winter, or maybe because she was not interested in this topic, and slowly fell asleep on the table.

Seeing this, Lawrence said to Cassandra: "You send Salier back to bed."

Cassandra stood up and helped Salier, "Salier, go back to bed."

"Okay..." Salier thought the meeting was over, rubbed her eyes and said sleepily: "I'll take a shower and go to bed."

After Salier left, Lawrence talked about other topics.

"This year, I plan to write a more detailed guidance task book for various places, and then let them think about their own actions in a few years. Otherwise, if I always teach them how to do things, they won't think about it themselves."

Darien said: "I think this is a good thing, which is more conducive to your control over those places."

"But it's too tiring." Lawrence said helplessly: "I know it's better this way, but there are too many things happening everywhere now, and there will be more and more, and I will have more and more things to do every day."

Sophia took the initiative to say: "Then leave it to us, we will write the task instructions for you and help you solve those accumulated government affairs, I am very good at this!"

Lawrence felt that if this continued, his kingdom might not be able to hold on for a hundred years.

These witches have wisdom and ability, but they are definitely not suitable to be the governors of a country with a population of millions.

Lawrence did not want to bet on the destructive power of these witches around him. From the past ten years of getting along, Lawrence believed that they were only suitable for doing some small things, not for formulating and supervising anything.

"If the people below don't do a good job, I can replace them with better and more capable people."

Lawrence looked at the beauties in front of him and on his left and right, "As for you, it's hard to pay a huge price to make up for your mistakes. I can't kill you because you made a mistake, nor will I exile you, so I don't want you to deal with too much trouble."

Awenla thought that this was underestimating herself, "If you can't complete the master's order, it's right to die!"

Lawrence shook his head. These people really didn't understand.

It's not that the things can't be completed, but that everyone has selfishness. It's difficult for men to be cruel to the women around them.

Especially when the mistakes made by the other party are not cheating, but corruption and mistakes at work, this situation is very easy to get forgiveness and shelter.

For a ruler, even if hundreds or thousands of people died because of women's problems, it's a small problem.

Unless someone reports it, someone insists on holding on to such things, generally they will help suppress it.

Lawrence knows that he can't afford to play, so he doesn't let the women around him have too much state power.

As long as they can stabilize the Oak Castle and the basic order of the Ice Land, it's fine.

The nuns in the Saint's College and the monastery are all internal, and they are only loyal to Lawrence.

The Military College and some colleges outside are the fresh blood that Lawrence has supported to enrich the state machine.

After many meetings, he found many problems on his side and the problems he will face in the future. Lawrence has made a general plan for the next fifty years.

Every few years, he needs to show his strength to the outside world.

The current situation is good. There is no need to use war to promote economic development and solve the problems caused by overproduction and overpopulation.

Five years later, that is, in the 20th year of the new calendar, the population of the Ice Land will usher in a big explosion. A large number of adults between the ages of sixteen and nineteen will start families and start businesses, and they will need more land and houses.

At that time, it is time to attack the Southern Kingdom and the Church, relieve population pressure, sell materials and integrate development power.

Attack is not occupation. The vast lands of Gran Province and Io Province need to be developed by nobles who have established meritorious services. The more goods and daily necessities produced after development can be sold to all parts of the West, promoting business and improving the quality of life of ordinary people.

Lawrence spent half a month to develop a five-year plan and a ten-year plan, and the rest of the time was used to examine the newly hired maids and guards.

Maids need loyalty and good physical fitness, and the same is true for guards, and it is best to be taller and stronger.

Lawrence unknowingly became a strong man, but with a weak heart.

A giantess like Anjul who can grow bigger became the best companion for Lawrence on this warm winter night. On this big witch who is two or three meters tall in normal state and five or six meters tall in giant posture, Lawrence is like a child. Whether sitting in her arms or on her big buttocks, it is very suitable.

The more troublesome thing is that this kind of thing can only be done in the courtyard, because the height of the castle house was not taken into account when designing the height. The height of the house is too short, and there is no big house of seven or eight meters high.

Even the swimming pool is too small, and Lawrence's idea of ​​riding a giantess to swim in the sea cannot be realized for the time being.

The fifteenth year of the new calendar is coming soon. This winter is warmer than in previous years, and the temperature has increased significantly. Even people in places like Valkyrie and South Town feel the change in climate.

Climate change has brought great help! !

Fewer cattle and sheep died, which means that more cattle and sheep are suitable for breeding in spring.

In previous years, many people died because of ice and snow. Some died this year, but it was obviously much less.

After the temperature was not so cold, the use of fuel was also reduced.

It was only a change of a few degrees, but it saved a lot of expenses for the Star Country.

This year's spring also came earlier than in previous years.

The earlier spring comes, the earlier crops will sprout, which is conducive to the growth of crops and the increase of grain production.

The earlier the temperature returns to a level suitable for human and animal activity, the more suitable it is for people and livestock to do spring plowing. If you do physical work in the cold spring, you will easily get sick.

The castle has also resumed its busyness. Military nobles and merchants from all over the country began to return to their hometowns, and female nobles in places such as the ring building also left with their families.

While Lawrence was busy with spring plowing, Sariel led people to count the internal data of this spring.

Sariel said to Catherine beside her: "All the pregnant women this year are elves. When the Eternal Night passed, there were 21 more pregnant elves. Today, I counted the latest ones and there are six more."

Catherine looked thoughtful and serious.

"This won't work. If the master continues like this, he may be affected by the blood of the mother elf and become a reproductive tool for the wood elves."

Sariel was reminded by Catherine and felt that the problem was a bit serious. "Yes, Lawrence can't give birth to human children now. There must be something wrong with those wood elves."

Catherine was talking about female elves, and Sariel was talking about the wood elves of the forest elves.

"We should find more noble women and warrior wizards to mediate, like An Yuer. The master often looks for her this winter, but unfortunately she is not pregnant yet."

Sariel thought for a while, "Lawrence has almost a hundred children. Let's ask him what to do about this matter tonight."

Catherine said directly: "This is a very important matter!"

"I know it's very important." Sariel said casually: "Lawrence will handle it."

"No! Very important!" Catherine was a little angry. Sariel didn't understand the importance of this matter at all. "We must find more witches. This is the second war between humans and elves!"

Sariel asked curiously: "What? Fighting?"

"This is more cruel than war. It is a war that cannot be surrendered!" Catherine didn't look at the stupid Sariel, and ordered the maid Candice behind her: "Let Jade come to me. I want to select smart, beautiful and powerful human women to reproduce the bloodline of our great master!"

Candice has been following Lawrence for a long time. Under Lawrence's influence, she has also learned to give advice to the master and mistress, unlike before, she is absolutely obedient to the wizards and witches.

"Mistress, the women of the Saint's College have been summoned by the master. If you want to give birth to offspring for the master, I think there will be many good female warriors who can serve the Countess, South Town, and the land of the original Loven Kingdom."

Catherine nodded quickly, "Yes, the ice women who belong to the same bloodline as the master are more suitable for this kind of thing. Look for young girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty, who have beautiful and sexy bodies and strong bodies suitable for childbirth."

"Yes, mistress." Candice quickly went down to do the work.

Sariel was curious about the development of the matter and did not stop it.

Lawrence would definitely like it anyway. (End of this chapter)
