Chapter 333 The Great Victory

Lawrence didn't just let the men leave.

The food here was provided first to let them experience it for a long time.

After everyone stayed for two days, Lawrence revealed his purpose at the banquet.

"I very much welcome nobles from royal families and kingdoms from all over the world to come and play and study."

"I also hope that when you go back, you will tell your king that he will send people to learn the technology here, such as technology to increase crop yields, technology to build ships, technology to preserve food, technology to weave, etc."

"It doesn't matter whether he is a noble, a commoner, or even a slave, as long as he is smart enough and can learn this knowledge."

"It's best to have someone who understands my language and has a certain foundation in arithmetic."

"After they successfully study here, I will send them back to their respective kingdoms."

"If someone wants to serve as a nun in the Church of the Stars, that is also possible."

"The Church of the Star is different from the Church of the Morning Sun. We are more tolerant and more willing to impart the knowledge granted by God to everyone who bathes in the starlight."

Garp said quickly: "When I go back, I will ask my daughter to come and join the Church of the Stars and let her become a nun of the Church of the Stars."

Lawrence smiled and agreed.

Garp is the Earl of Haisenli, so asking his daughter to join the church is definitely not just a matter of bringing something.

In this era, when nobles wanted their daughters to become nuns, they had to donate money and land to the church.

Poor people are not qualified to be nuns, and some nuns are even queens and duchesses.

This is to prevent women from affecting the rights of heirs and force them to become nuns.

In ancient times, when the prince came to power, the queens and queens were allowed to go to nunneries to chant sutras and become nuns. This kind of thing could not be implemented in the feudal dynasty due to filial piety, but there is no such concern here.

Lawrence quickly accepted the food and livestock compensation sent by the envoys. More compensation will be sent one after another. For now, he has only signed a peace contract temporarily.

Delenn asked: "Will they really obediently bring food, wine, and many other things?"

Lawrence stood on the beach and looked at the fleet, and said calmly: "I think to maintain peace for a period of time, they need time to develop, and so do we."

When it comes to farming and development, Lawrence thinks he will not lose to the other party.

Salil was puzzled: "I don't understand why you want to tell them your farming skills."

Lawrence smiled and said: "Then you definitely don't understand why you have to pour water into it first when you draw water from the well. If you don't understand this kind of thing, you won't understand. You will understand in a few years."

You can't grab anything of high value during robbery, so even if it's gold and silver coins, you have to consider your purchasing power. There's no place to collect big money in this era.

It is not easy for thousands of people to be completely self-sufficient, and it is very important to maintain cooperative relations with the outside world.

Moreover, the culture and heritage here are currently better than those of the outside world. It will not take long for this place to become a "lighthouse", attracting more people to come closer.

Only a peaceful country can develop rapidly. Just fighting a war will entail various risks.

Cassandra said: "It's time for me to go back, Lawrence, can I recommend some people to come and study?"

"Of course!" Lawrence smiled at Cassandra: "I welcome you very much!"

Kassandra said with emotion: "There are not many wizards in the south anymore. Seeing that you are so peaceful and powerful here, I think my father will be very happy."

There are already problems with wizards' reproductive methods. They are getting fewer and fewer all the time. In addition, they always regard others as inferior creatures. It is not surprising at all to be hacked to death by others in anger.

Lawrence sent Cassandra away and then began to farm with peace of mind.

Farming development is the way to go!

Lawrence was about to go to Dumu Harbor to continue building ships, and Brick found Lawrence. "Master, I took a few people to explore down from the big river in the north."

"The river does not flow directly to the north. It makes a circle and goes back into the mountains. We walked for five days and still did not find the end."

Lawrence quickly came up with an idea. If the height of a cliff on the seaside was higher than the water surface of the river, and the Agama Mountains were higher in the east and lower in the west, such a river would indeed happen.

"Bring more things, let Water City mobilize ten men with good water skills, find ten warriors and ten hunters, bring enough food and fuel to set off, and investigate where the end of this river is!"

Brick agreed: "Yes, Prophet!"

Lawrence took out his map and looked at it. There was no river mark on it.

The map here is not clear and accurate, and more people will need to explore the area in the future.

If there is a river leading to the Hokuriku Kingdom, or the Kogako Kingdom, then the development of the sub-base will become much easier.

Speaking of rivers, Lawrence thought of the river downstream.

Where do the rivers in the south lead?

Downstream exploration is also imperative.

The water-powered mill needs repairs and has been in use for more than a year.

The crucibles in the blacksmith shop also need to be remanufactured, and more molds are needed to mass-produce farm tools, weapons and other consumables. These cannot always be done by Delen, and the craftsmen must also develop their own technology.

The fishing boats for catching fish, shrimps, crabs and sea vegetables should also be larger, and new warships should be built to prevent running out of ships for naval battles in the future.

There is also papermaking technology that needs to be promoted, so that the subsequent printing technology can be opened up.

Lawrence found that he had too much to do.

Before, they were busy going out to rob and fight, but now that they have calmed down for a while, they find that there are a lot of troubles.

"Take your time. The first thing is to trade with Telanthoof City."

"I can't finish the food here this year. I can't finish it at all."

Lawrence was a little worried about his food reserves. This year, Lathander led more than 1000 people to farm and expand production. The forest people downstream also had a good harvest of potatoes, plus the compensation sent by the West.

"Alas! Sell all the wheat from last year and the year before that, otherwise it will become moldy. Store this year's wheat after it is dried, and then beat some of it into flour."

Lawrence sent a message to Duke Redela of Sidr, Valkyrie, and Tran Greathoof City, asking them if they needed wheat at a low price.

These people knew how to brew their own wine, so just wheat was enough for them to make their own bread and ale.

Not all barbarians can only rob but cannot shop. Pig Trotter City has a complete currency system, and many of the barbarians are people who go to sea to do business.

As long as the fist is strong and both parties have needs, then the transaction can be carried out happily, and it is not completely without order.

Moreover, it is easier to do transactions with one's own people, and there is basic trust.

After arranging for someone to deliver the message and explore, the tired Lawrence quickly rode the black unicorn and went home to have a party! !
"Party tonight!" Lawrence took off his shawl and swung it wildly in the living room, very excited.

Salil said speechlessly: "Is it worth being so happy? I think you have been normal these two days."

Lawrence threw the crow cloak into the sky and said excitedly: "The Western Kingdom ceded territory to us as compensation! Our territory has expanded! It's a major victory! Let's have a party to celebrate!!"

"If you don't want to participate, just go to bed! I'll save it by moving!!"

A great victory worthy of record should certainly be celebrated properly.

The cabin soon became happy. Everyone was just there for happiness, not to have children.
