our family is gone

Chapter 303 Arrangement
"You can't say that, my lord." Walter couldn't help but look back when he heard this. The aristocratic system was still deeply ingrained in his heart.

Or talking about the boss behind his back is a lot of good things, which is a taboo in the workplace.

"He doesn't care..." But Tiffany curled her lips indifferently, and raised her hand to brush the long hair.

But he didn't talk about it anymore, instead he talked about the family with a little excitement.

"Father, you don't know. My brother is teaching people how to read and write at school. I don't know how prestigious he is. Every day, he is followed by a large group of brats calling him teacher. He doesn't want to go home when he stays in school."

Walter was also a little surprised when he heard this. He has had a headache for a long time because of his son's cowardly character. He has always hated iron and steel, but there is no way.

Didn't expect there to be an improvement here?
"Is he really good?" It's just that Walter is still a little worried.

"He's not a child. He passed the school assessment step by step in his current position. I didn't help him, and I can't help him."

But Walter didn't say anything after hearing this. That's not what he was worried about.

But I understood something in an instant, no wonder the lord didn't emphasize the reward just now, it turned out to be here.

Walter did not say clearly that after experiencing that kind of life and death, he also let go of his heart and turned his attention from business to family.

He has been in the society for many years, and he knows that the war will not subside in three years, and it will even become more and more fierce. It may be good to hang out under the protection of the lord now, at least his family will not have to worry about their lives.

Otherwise, I am no different from those caravans that are constantly going bankrupt.

"Father, what are you thinking?"

"Oh! Nothing, where's your mother? What has she been doing during this time?" Walter was unwilling to tell his daughter about the chaos in the outside world. This was a father's protection for his daughter.

"Mother, now..." Tiffany didn't notice, but continued to talk about her family with a smile.

After Walt left, Lance did not simply give orders, but went to condolences to the [-] accompanying soldiers, and asked them about the situation on the road.

Then reward them, give them vacations, and allow them to really rest.

But what was even more difficult to face was the ashes of the two soldiers who died in battle. All they could bring back was their ashes.

Lance was unwilling to do anything to others, so he personally appeased the family members and sent the two to the hero cemetery.

Standing in front of the newly erected tombstone, beside him is the captain of the team, that is, the clever Vic whom he was very optimistic about at the beginning.

The contents of the reports are the same, but one focuses on business, while Vic pays more attention to the enemies he has encountered along the way, and he has begun to build Hamlet's intelligence network, which is just a little immature, but everything is just beginning.

"Vic, I want to ask your opinion on something."

"My lord, please tell me."

"The difficulties Hamlet will face in the future will be even more complicated. We need to have our own news channels. I hope you can quit the army and concentrate on building Hamlet's eyes and ears hidden in the dark."

Lance didn't decide to do this suddenly, on the contrary he did it after careful consideration.

Especially after the confrontation with the Roma, this feeling is even more urgent.

These 20 people left before the reorganization of the army. Although there are only [-] left after going through a lot of combat experience along the way, it will be more or less uncomfortable to suddenly be stuffed into the current army.

So now Lance gives them a choice to leave the army and become the dark side of Hamlet.

Vic is not stupid. On the contrary, he understands what the lord's request means. It is not disloyalty to not give a direct answer. On the contrary, he is thinking carefully about this matter, whether he has the ability to bear it...

"Okay, this kind of thing is really hard to decide. Let me know when the vacation is over." Lance didn't mean to force him. He still had a few candidates in his mind, but Vic had a flexible mind and went out with the team. It is most suitable to know the operation of the caravan from outside.

"Give your heart to your lord!" Vic stood at attention and saluted.

"Keep your heart in order to contribute to Hamlet." Lance smiled and raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder. It would be much easier if he agreed.

"Go, that team is for you, tell me who you want."

"Yes!"

Vic's departure made Lance's figure look a bit bleak in the cemetery alone. Looking at the name on the tombstone, he seemed to be able to see the face of that person.

"This is the price..."

After saying that, he withdrew his gaze and turned to leave this side.

…………

The news of the convoy's return quickly spread throughout Hamlet, and besides food, it brought many things that Hamlet could not produce.

After all, Hamlet still relies on agriculture and animal husbandry as its main industries. For example, iron ingots can only be brought in from outside. After many deductions, it is as thin as an iron sheet, and there are even many gaps, but it is still a life-saving prop.

Everyone who aimed at this batch of resources naturally started to fight for it.

Leonard hopes to get more horses, Patton hopes that this batch of metals will be used to cast cannons, and Disma hopes that the metals will be used to forge muskets...

All want to fight for that batch of armor.

But all of this was forcibly suppressed by Lance.

"Select from all the horses in the town now, select forty war horses to belong to the cavalry, armor to the cavalry, and this batch of metal is used to cast cannons.

As for the muskets, wait for a while, you will be able to replace them with special new guns soon, and all the resources related to herbal medicine will go to the nursing home..."

Lance has directly made many arrangements, and now must concentrate resources to build a light cavalry, which is a prerequisite for ensuring mobility and plunder.

The eccentricity has not been concealed. The cavalry in the feudal era was his own son.

Everyone has no more opinions, they just need to do well as instructed.

"This number of people is still not enough. We must recruit more people and develop a larger population to form a stronger army."

Lance brought back more than 3000 people with two cargo ships before, but it didn't seem that many after they spread out. If he had [-] soldiers, he would have already reached the door of the ancestor.

"After the identity registration is completed, the restrictions will be relaxed, and more people will be recruited from the surrounding areas. It is time for the cargo ship to move. I need more labor."

"My lord, I'm afraid there will be cultists mixed in."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we maintain a strong policy, those guys will be caught in the people's war, and there will be no trouble."

When the summary was completed, Lance left the people in the military system and took out the road map.

"After the formation of the cavalry, follow me to suppress the bandits, and the horses are placed here, and you can get them yourself if you want.

Navy, get ready, you have been training for so long, I need to meet naval soldiers who can fight, and dare to fight, we want to retake the sea that belongs to Hamlet, and restore the sea route that has been ravaged by pirates for more than ten years.

Expand the artillery, strengthen training, and soon your artillery will be built. I hope that you can give me a hard bombardment and turn all enemies into dust.

The sanatorium is preparing the medicine needed for this trip, and at the same time strengthening the teaching of medical soldiers, first aid on the battlefield..."

With this batch of resources, Lance also felt that his hidden fangs could be exposed a little, so he made a decision immediately.

"In three days, the whole army will attack!"

"Yes!"

Busyness is the theme of Hamlet. As a lord, Lance naturally cannot be lazy. He took advantage of this time to meet with those people and guide them to join the merchant group and leave Hamlet.

Most of these people were unwilling to waste their time in such a ghostly life, and many of them agreed. Among them, they had received more professional training, and Lance also spent a lot of money on them. It would be a waste if they were idle.

Now Walter has got a group of guard backbones, and can form a real guard team based on this, and those people can also make money.

Geralt, Junia, Tardif, and Barristan were called before Lance.

"There is a cult organization entrenched in the wilderness north of the town. Now there is a mission to scout the wilderness. I am responsible for the logistics consumption and can give a basic reward of ten gold coins.

Then draw a map and add ten gold coins, and find a situation about a cult and add ten gold coins. As long as you have the ability, my treasury will always be open for you.

Of course, this cult is very dangerous, their followers are very crazy, and they have mastered some supernatural powers, so your mission is mainly reconnaissance, you don't need to fight the enemy, if you do, you must be careful of the witch hiding among them. "

Lance's explanation is mainly for Tardif, and there is no need to explain the other matters.

"Get your money ready." Tardiff blew his nose, not caring about the danger Lance described.

That's not arrogance, but extreme confidence in one's own strength.

But I also understand that after all, killing the leader under the protection of many younger brothers as soon as he was released from prison, his strength should not be underestimated.

It's just that Lance is a little curious about how he will react when facing the cultists?
When the team set off, the carriage would send them to the outpost, and Lance sent Barristan to the most dangerous battlefield as agreed, in fact, because their team had no shortage of output.

Both Geralt and Tardiv can deal a lot of damage, and Junia's magic can also provide control, support, and healing.

As long as Barristan holds up, they're a perfect squad.

Lance has never given up his desire to go north, and developing the wilderness is constantly eroding the control of the ancestors.

After finishing their work these few days, they explored the way and collected information, and when they came back, they could seamlessly connect and go north to continue to attack the ancestors.

He wants to achieve two blooms...

"My lord, this is the compiled monthly report."

Tiffany walked in and handed something to him, and Lance realized that a month had passed since he returned from Totnes.

But for Lance, it felt like it passed very quickly, because the incidents he encountered were one after another, and the series of emergencies almost destroyed the Hamlet he had built with great difficulty.

Fortunately, after experiencing so many disasters, Hamlet did not decline, but operated with unimaginable efficiency under the control of Lance.

"Four weeks, look at what I have done..."

Regardless of emotion, Lance picked up the monthly newspaper and read it.

At present, the road leading to the three farms in Hamlet has been opened, the main body of the collective farm has been completed, and everyone can be arranged for housing. At this stage, it is beginning to explore the surrounding area and start a breeding plan.

And you must know that Lance is from a mysterious oriental country. He doesn't understand guns and artillery, but he has a unique understanding of agriculture and breeding. This is the impact of environmental factors on human growth.

Cultivating wasteland must remove the plants that originally grew on the ground, and cut down the large ones to use as timber. As for the weeds, the cattle will be driven there, and some people will mow the grass to feed the livestock.

Keep those fruit trees, and find a way to transplant the berry shrubs together for centralized management, and at the same time it is convenient for picking, so as to give those women and children some labor opportunities.

The fishing industry on the coast is also developing rapidly. Big boats cannot be built, but small fishing boats are still possible. Lance opens up businesses such as lending, chartering, and installment, so that those people can get boats to go fishing in different ways.

At the same time, it also consumes those manufactured fishing boats, driving the development of the shipbuilding industry, and the two complement each other.

Kelp and fish catches even need to build a special workshop on the pier to deal with them.

The shells of various shellfish were originally regarded as garbage, but in Lance's opinion, they are very good materials.

The main component of shellfish shells is calcium carbonate, which is a good raw material for burnt lime, and lime has many uses. It is an important building material, used for building houses and roads.

Moreover, in agriculture, it can kill insects and bacteria, improve soil acidity and alkalinity, and supplement calcium.

The big and beautiful ones are selected to be made into handicrafts or other valuable items.

However, almost shells can be ground into powder and added to the feed instead of bone meal. The trace elements such as calcium in it can meet the growth needs of organisms.

The various sewage wastes produced by processing fish are directly chopped and ground, added with shell powder, mixed with some bran that was originally used to make black bread, and then used to feed livestock, especially those chickens, to eat The eggs laid by these are very large.

More importantly, all of these can generate a lot of jobs, so that those people can find jobs and get money.

When the feed problem is solved, the breeding will be expanded. It cannot be free-range like before, but must be scaled and orderly. Although there are no machines for automation, he has a lot of consumables and the cost is even lower.

And the waste produced by the breeding industry is also used by him to fertilize. The high temperature will kill the parasites and bacteria and viruses in it. After the fermentation is completed, it can be used on the existing fields and those newly reclaimed land.

This can quickly make the land fertile, without the need for fallow, and the utilization rate has increased significantly.

It's a pity that there is no condition for building a biogas digester. Otherwise, if the biogas can be used, the efficiency of many things in the town will be higher.

It is not empty talk that there are many people, and those refugees are not powerless, they just lack a person who can unite them.
