forest kingdom

Chapter 287
Reconstruction began on the estate.

Some people repaired their houses, while others built new houses on the vacant land in the north.

The incident of the Geostorm Bear made everyone aware of the problem, so three-meter-high sentry towers were built in five surrounding places to prevent outsiders from not noticing when people and things were approaching.

The Lawrence family began to expand the cave, digging stones in the hollowed-out cave to build toilets, bathrooms, drains, heating pipes and other facilities.

After working for five or six days, Lawrence discovered various problems with living in the cave.

The first is the issue of lighting. Living in a cave is different from living in a wooden house. You are in a dark cave all day long and need lighting 24 hours a day.

And after living in a cave, I feel like I have been kicked out of the house every day to come out to bask in the sun.

Air problems can also be solved through the exhaust system, but lighting problems are almost unsolvable in this era.

Lawrence soon realized that this cave was only suitable for living in winter, and also in winter when it was approaching eternal night.

After this thought appeared, Lawrence didn't bother to pay more attention.

"Sariel, is this enough for now?"

Lawrence asked Saryl for her opinion, as she was the most talkative and the most vocal.

Sariel said as she thought: "The oven and fireplace have been built, as well as the bathroom, lounge and warehouse."

"The herbal medicine shop and warehouse that Kharan wants."

"The meditation room Lathander wants."

"The weapons room that Delen wants."

"The pet room that Sophia wants."

"I already have the big house I want."

"Yeah! That's enough!"

Lawrence thought of the maid who lived with him. This place not only lived with him, but also with Emma, ​​Bull and others.

There must be more maids, more bathrooms and kitchens, and more warehouses to store your loot and treasures.

You can even dig into the ground here to find a place to store ice.

But Lathander seems to want to create a magma pool, which would make storing ice cubes troublesome.

Generally speaking, there are more benefits. You can actually get ice cubes here in the summer. You just need to run up the mountain and go to the nearby snow-capped mountains to get ice cubes.

I used to think the cost was too high, but now...it still feels too high.

Lawrence didn't tell the witches how to eat ice cream, fearing that they wouldn't be able to control their desires.

If they discovered that ice cubes could be eaten, these women would definitely ask their men to collect ice cubes from distant mountains.

Lawrence still feels that there are not enough people under his command. After arranging for Salil and others to continue digging the mountain, Lawrence mobilizes the people at the bottom of the mountain to work!

People down the mountain don't need to build houses; their houses are all newly repaired.

After drying and storing the winter grain, a small number of people went to the beach to support shipbuilding and house building, while the rest were idle.

Lawrence gathered everyone together and asked them to continue processing the land.

Lawrence explained in church why farm work should continue after harvest.

People in this era made very little use of land. Whether it was irrigation, fertilization, pest control or a more sophisticated rotation system, they were only tried and not really popularized.

Before Lawrence used the blacksmith shop to make iron tools on a large scale, everyone even had few farm tools and agriculture could not develop.

Relying on the advantages of few people and fertile land, we often just sow a handful of seeds, sort them out and wait for harvest.

The soil here in Lawrence is more carefully cultivated and more productive than in the fertile areas of the South.

But I was also more tired, very tired, ten times more tired.On the other hand, there are less taxes, more income, enough food to eat, more communication opportunities, and more entertainment methods to relieve fatigue.

Lawrence knew that most people actually didn't care about this matter. They would have something to do anyway when they were free, and no explanation from the master was needed.

But Lawrence still has to tell others why.

"The soil should be plowed to prepare a suitable seedbed for wheat seedlings in advance. Winter comes very quickly here. If we plow the land again in winter, it will be too late."

"I have been observing the condition of the land in the past three years. Rather than plowing the land in the spring, we should plow the land now, using people and cattle to plow deeply to soften the soil and remove weeds and weeds in the field. The rhizome stubble is completely cleared out.”

“There are fewer pests, fewer weeds, and the soil underneath is softer.”

"Plow deep now and plant a batch of cabbage. Then plow it again in early winter after the cabbages are harvested. By then, the plowed land will be frozen directly."

"The frozen soil above will warm the soil below like a quilt, raising the temperature. When spring comes, the soil above will have just thawed, and the space below will be enough for us to grow wheat."

After Lawrence finished speaking, he looked at the people below.

Most people can't understand it, especially the new barbarians.

On the contrary, the people of Water City, who mainly farm and fish, and a small number of Durila people who farm, are thinking about this guidance.

The barbarians were only advanced in bread-eating technology and very backward in planting technology.

Expecting these people to understand agricultural technology is unfeasible from a legal and human perspective.

First of all, the culture here is to get rich through robbery. Farming is something only people with no future will do. The mainstream group will not study this.

Secondly, the land here is too barren and there is no need for development.

Lawrence is an outlier, insisting on farming in this place that is not suitable for farming.

The Durila people soon shouted: "Prophet, will this make more wheat in the fields?"

Lawrence solemnly said to him: "Yes, this is agricultural technology, including blacksmithing technology and agricultural technology. Both are very important to us."

Another Durila man shouted: "The land here is fertile and much better than the land in Durila. We will do whatever the prophet tells us to do. Is this a test?!"

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, the test is more reward for more work. If you can work harder, you can harvest more wheat for me, and these wheat will strengthen our tribe."

"And you, my people, each of you will derive honor and convenience from it."

"Mount Agama does not support idle people. God has given us enough rest days. If we don't know how to work hard and use our efforts to please God, then God will be angry!"

Even if it is feudal dross and religious deception, it is a great progress and civilization for this ignorant era.

Everyone quickly understood Lawrence's arrangement.

Although it was not clear what was going on, especially since the people in the back row were all sleeping, as long as Lawrence arranged the matter and all the managers and team leaders were responsible for carrying it out, it would be able to continue smoothly.

No matter what the system is, execution is critical.

The current execution ability is due to the fact that many managers and small bosses were promoted by Lawrence and listened to Lawrence's words.

Lawrence will definitely not promote anyone who is disobedient.

There is no difference between barbarians and civilized people here. From now on, they are all the people of Mount Agama.

Lawrence made farm implements and harnesses more suitable for plowing, allowing oxen to pull heavy plows more easily.

In this era, people do not believe that hard work will lead to rewards. People are more willing to believe that the reason for the bumper harvest here every year is God, because this is the paradise land given to them by God, rather than because of their hard work.

No matter how hard the Durila people work outside, they still can't have enough to eat.

The same goes for the rest.

Therefore, everyone does not believe in Lawrence’s statement that hard work will be rewarded. They only believe that this is God’s test and gift to them.
