forest kingdom

Chapter 334 Foreign Strategy
Lawrence recounted the population.

The total population of several nearby areas is 2263, plus the eight or nine hundred forest people in the lower reaches, the total population exceeds three thousand.

There are five or sixty people in Pumexiu Town, Oak City, Dumu Port, as well as Siders and barbarians from nearby Pig Trotter City who came to work.

Lawrence sat in the open space outside the church, basking in the sun, making wood chips with the maids, women and children nearby.

The light on the mountain is not strong, especially as there are many floating clouds in the sky. Now the wheat has been harvested and most of the wheat has been dried.

The water-powered mill in the distance is still turning, making a roaring sound.

The crows on the church were resting quietly, having long been accustomed to this sound.

Lawrence threw the wood chips in his hand into the basket next to him, then sat here to rest and look at the mountain scenery in the distance.

Most of the original gray and green forest has been knocked down, and neat farmhouses are neatly displayed on the flat land.

The originally golden wheat fields have been harvested and are now planted with a variety of vegetables.

Chives, lettuce, cabbage, chamomile, garlic, thyme and other edible herbs.

Lawrence quickly stood up and walked into the church, and the sounds outside quickly became quieter.

Navia, Emma and others are processing wooden signs here and writing on them.

Lawrence walked over to the wooden sign that had been made and looked at it.

[Brown hair, a strong body, a strong golden beard on his face, blue eyes, a bit of a temper, and a berserker. 】

Lawrence knew that this was Andrew's identity card, and looked at the other one.

[Left hand missing, thin brown-grey hair, black spots on face, goat chin, a member of the manor patrol. 】

It's Mandekru's identity card.

After counting the number of people, in order to prevent assassinations from the west or the south and barbarians, Lawrence used a stricter system to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.

Assassination has always been extremely effective, so as long as it can be successful, people of all ages like to use it.

Ancient emperors also used the registration system to curb the flow of the population, and at the same time prohibited disaster victims from approaching the imperial city, which was heavily guarded.

Furthermore, there are not many opponents from the outside world, and the assassin cannot find the emperor's position by relying on one person's strength alone.

But even so, many emperors were assassinated in ancient times, even more if they were unsuccessful.

The situation here is even more serious. There is a long tradition of assassination here. The principle of catching the thief first is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Kings and leaders often die in various assassinations.

When something happens here, they like to kill people to solve the problem. There is no other way to reason or redress injustice.

The aristocrats were dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits and could not defeat the king, so they naturally found assassins to kill them.

Each noble has many private soldiers under his command, and most rulers are a group of high-ranking people. It is not surprising at all to be killed.

After Lawrence ceded territory to the Western Kingdom to pay compensation, he naturally had to guard against sneak attacks here. After all, there was precedent for this.

The Valkyries, the people of Pig Trotter City, and the nobles of Sider cannot be trusted safely. Now that he has become stronger, there must be some people who don't want him to continue to be strong.

How to survive is what Lawrence has been thinking about during this time.

The first thing is to have a basic base and a normally functioning organization.

The premise of a grass-roots team is organization and rules. Everyone knows what they should do and why they are responsible.

In this way, even if a person who doesn't know much comes up, as long as others know what they are going to do, it will not affect the operation of the organization.

These identities are waist badges, which are identification certificates that everyone has and are used to let people in various departments know each other and complete the handover of work.

For example, many people in the Oak City under construction do not know the people in Dumu Harbor, and the people in Dumu Harbor are not familiar with the people in the manor.At present, some literate people have been trained, and language is also taught.

The waist card is also used to collect monthly wages. Soldiers and maids in the territory can receive wages. In order to prevent someone from claiming it falsely, you must check the waist card when the time comes.

A sound salary system is the greatest guarantee of loyalty.

Relying on the support of compensation and high-yielding crops from the West, more people will be arranged to work off-duty to engage in technology after the wheat harvest. Next year, more outsiders will be arranged to plant more land.

The people in Sider don't know how to farm their own land, so they can farm it here in Lawrence.

While Lawrence was making ID tags for several people he remembered, soldiers outside walked in.

"Prophet, the Valkyrie is in town, it's the Cretan Baron."

Lawrence nodded and said to the others: "I'll go down there."

Salil is busy grinding the pigment, which is a dye that uses chicken blood as the main material and comes from the unique tattooing technology of the mountain forest barbarians.

Delen was also here to help, and looked at Lawrence: "Do you still need us to follow?"

"No, it's just some small things. I'll be back in the evening." Lawrence acted very open-minded and not timid at all.

Soon Lawrence came into the house to greet Catherine, and met Crete in the courtyard of the town church.

"Prophet." Crete saluted Lawrence.

Lawrence smiled and said: "I asked you to come here this time to ask about Valkyrie. I heard that some innocent people are always killed there. Many people have died in recent years."

Crete thought that Lawrence was going to attack Count Valkyrie, and quickly showed an excited look.

"Yes prophet! The count has killed several knights, and now only Baron Lille and I are still in the entire territory."

Lawrence received a lot of information about the Valkyries from Reglo and Seravan.

Lille is a crony of the count and is currently responsible for protecting the count's safety. He tried to go out for robbery several times but was stopped by the count.

Crete continued: "Both the count's housekeepers, Old Gerda and Little Gerda, were killed by Lille. Lille and Countess Olaua have been mixed together for a long time. Now the count can't live long."

Lawrence knew that because of his presence, the count was not assassinated.

Because he said that whoever kills his ally, he will avenge him.

"My god does not want anyone to die innocently, whether it is Count Valkyrie or anyone else."

Lawrence looked at his colossus quietly, standing in the shadow of the colossus and speaking high-pitched words.

"Since the count agreed to the request of our allies and joined the benevolent Church of the Stars, he should not kill slaves or bury anyone casually."

"I knew that he often killed people to guard his treasure, and I felt angry and regretful. Dead people can only keep secrets, but dead people are dead people and will not keep wealth for anyone."

"In my territory, no one from the Church of the Stars will execute any innocent slave. Killing slaves at will is a serious evil in our teachings!"

"Vakiri is not my territory and I have no right to say anything about Valkyrie's habits."

Lawrence turned and looked at Crete.

"You go back and tell the count that if he can abide by the teachings of the Church of the Stars, I can forgive his crime, but everyone who is killed must be reburied. This is a sign of him correcting his mistakes, and it is also something God wants to see."

"If he cannot do this, does not accept the teachings of the Church of the Stars, and continues to casually kill his subordinates and people around him, then I will cancel my alliance with him!"

The era of barbarism is coming to an end, it's time to spread civilization!

Lawrence not only wanted to take care of Valkyrie's affairs, but also interfered unscrupulously!
