forest kingdom

In the summer, Lawrence was worried about everyone's food problem again.

If you are not allowed to eat beef, you must supplement it with other meat.

You can't live without meat in the land of ice, and you can't live without wine, otherwise there will be problems.

"There is so much pork every year, but there is not enough to eat."

While patrolling Snow Mountain Castle, Lawrence was worried about the upcoming problems.

In addition to Catherine who was riding a Dom sheep, there was also Heidi who had just arrived.

Heidi is also a consul and has several years of experience in governance and management.

"We can eat less meat and let those people eat once a week instead of once a month, so that's enough for us."

Heidi gave the most reasonable solution.

If you don’t have enough to eat, then eat less or don’t eat at all.

Roads are still under construction, and a large number of workers are cutting down trees and opening roads in the forest every day.

The technology of raising pigs is not unique to Pig's Trotter City. In fact, it is the residents at the foot of the mountains near Pig's Trotter City who are responsible.

In the past, there was not much leftover food, and most of them were reluctant to feed pigs with grain. Therefore, the most suitable places for raising pigs were on the mountains and at the foot of the mountains, where pigs could find their own food.

"I've thought about it, the main restriction on our pig raising is the space, not feed and disease issues."

After spending a night looking for a location, Lawrence rode Dom Sheep to a canyon upstream the next day.

Lawrence only realized this problem when he wanted to expand production.

"Master, what does the world look like in your eyes?" Heidi was very curious whether the world seen in Lawrence's eyes was the same as what she saw.

Lawrence turned his head and looked at the girl who was asking seriously. He smiled and said, "The world in my eyes? It is a colorful world."

"Really? What I saw is also a very beautiful world, it shouldn't be too different." Heidi nodded and accepted the current situation.

These mountains are scattered among themselves, and the snow on the tallest Snow Mountain flows from the most suitable road among the mountains to the city of waterfalls, converging into a magnificent giant waterfall.

Lawrence took a few people back to Snow Mountain Castle and began to use the sandbox that Delen and Salil had made here to find a suitable location.

"Pig raising could not be developed before because most of our land was used for farming. Even the few open spaces were reserved for cattle and sheep. The area for raising pigs was very small."

Mountain barbarians mainly focus on animals and resources in the forest.

The plains barbarians knew how to farm and also went out to rob. Lawrence had been farming for a long time.

As the ruling class, the saints and prophets certainly don't need to worry about this kind of thing. The current pork is definitely enough to feed the prophet's family.

Even for the nobles below, eating meat once a week is enough.

Heidi believed that Lawrence could do this, "Master, just give your orders, we will definitely let those people work hard!"

Lawrence was still thinking about eating meat, and his thoughts were not on the same line as Heidi.

"You don't need to worry about raising pigs. You can just manage Snow Mountain Castle well."

Plain areas are suitable for raising pigs, but are more suitable for other things.

Lawrence raised his head and looked at the snowy mountains in the distance.

Heidi looked in the direction Lawrence was looking at, but couldn't find a solution after looking for more than ten seconds.

"I've made up my mind!" Lawrence said seriously, "I want to raise pigs in the mountains. Not only at the foot of the snowy mountains, but also in the forests and many other places!"

Heidi said: "You are right, those people raise pigs very well. Most of our current pork comes from those towns in the south."

Lawrence looked at his vast territory and thought of solutions to the problem.

The mountains are located in the distance like gods and Buddhas, like an Arhat.

The water resources here are abundant, and factories and residences can be built. You can even enter the wide Witch Swamp through the downstream river, and then connect the east and west.

Heidi is very satisfied with everything now and hopes it will continue like this.

"Maybe we can raise pigs here too."

Snow Mountain Fort is not suitable for farming. Except for fish and ducks, most other things cannot be raised. There are very few areas that can be used as farmland.

"The group of people who are good at raising pigs are all in mountainous environments. I used to ignore this problem and always thought that just let those who know how to raise pigs do it."

Only by letting people who don't know how to raise pigs learn to raise pigs and making places that are not suitable for raising pigs suitable for raising pigs can everyone eat pork every once in a while.

This person is not only nobles and wizards, but also warriors, craftsmen, farmers, and even hundreds of thousands of serfs.

There are low-lying places with water, and naturally there are places without water.

There are three types of barbarians. The main food of the ice barbarians is fish and the pigs and sheep they raise, or they go hunting in the forest and rarely farm.

There is no guarantee in other places, but Lawrence wants the people here in the Ice Land and Snow Mountain Castle to eat pork at least once a week.

If only people who know how to raise pigs are allowed to raise pigs, the increase in production will be very limited.

"Yes, Master, just leave it to Heidi!"

Heidi looked ahead. The mountains and rivers were majestic and picturesque, the forests and the warm sunshine combined into a glow. The snow-capped mountain castle belonging to Lawrence was shining brightly between the green land and the sky.

Raising pigs requires space and all kinds of sundries that are not food.

Lawrence looked at Heidi's serious expression and felt speechless.

The canyon in front of us is more than ten meters deep, with thick rocks on both sides. The bottom has not been flooded by a large amount of stream water due to the arrival of summer, and has always remained dry and moist.

This place is more than ten kilometers away from the Snow Mountain Fort. The terrain is much higher than there, and it is a canyon on the mountain.

Lawrence tied the Dom sheep to a nearby stone, and quickly jumped down the canyon more than ten meters deep, landing firmly on the ground.

After walking further along the canyon for more than a kilometer, the canyon cliffs on both sides have turned into slopes one or two meters high.

Ahead is a broad and lush forest, with a lot of wild grass growing on the ground, and tall trees that are rarely seen downstream.

The Snow Mountain Castle is on the second floor, the Elf Forest is on the first floor, and this place is between the second and third floors, and it is also the area where the wild boars are active.

The valley area with more vegetation belongs to the third layer, where the geoblast bears were once active.

there's no more.

"This place is good, suitable for raising pigs."

What Lawrence saw was not a towering mountain, nor a grand ambition, but just a canyon suitable for raising pigs.

"As long as a pig pen is set up at the end of the canyon where I jumped down just now, and food is fed regularly, the piglets raised here will come back regularly to eat." "The pregnant sows are raised in the pig pen, and the rest are Wild boars usually go to the mountains to play when they are full, and come back to eat when they are hungry.”

"Just like summoning my chickens, the pigs can also be summoned at regular intervals."

Lawrence thought about the details and looked around the mountain.

The nearby slopes and hills captured Lawrence's imagination.

Lawrence made a visual inspection and found that there was basically no flat land here, which was very suitable for making caves on hillsides and mountains.

It doesn't need to be too deep. As long as the piglets are provided with a soil hole that is two to three meters deep and can be sheltered from wind and rain, these piglets can grow up smoothly.

Moreover, wild boars that grew up together as children do not have such a strong sense of territory when they become adults. As long as everyone's pig holes are nearby, it is difficult for one pig to drive away all the pigs.

When raising pigs in caves, it doesn’t matter if the food on the mountain is not enough. Food must be artificially fed.

These pigs run between valleys to eat and sleep every day, and their body's ability to resist disease is much higher than that of normal domestic pigs.

Lawrence did what he thought of and quickly sent someone to prepare a dozen piglets. He led a few people to carry a large amount of wood to build a pig shed for the piglets in the canyon.

Lawrence was sitting in the valley doing carpentry work. There was no trouble of women or all kinds of trivial things. He only had to inlay the wood on the ground according to the ideas in his mind, or use iron nails to nail them together.

In order to prevent small pigs and big pigs from damaging the pig nest, the pig pen needs to be built stronger.

Raising pigs on the mountain can solve many things, the most important of which is rational use of space.

From one person raising one pig or two pigs, one person raised a group of pigs, or a couple raised dozens of pigs.

This is more efficient and can also solve some employment problems.

Pigs can be raised all year round. The permanent night here is very short, making it more suitable for farming than the ice land.

If pork production increases, the meat problem will basically be solved.

Not only can pigs be raised on the mountain, but chickens can also be raised.

Chicken farms have been developing very well, and pig farms are actually getting better, but the slow development cannot keep up with the rapidly growing population.

Lawrence spent a summer digging many caves for the black pigs in various places in the mountains, and also took care of the wild ducks and fish in the upper reaches.

Even so, water is far from quenching the thirst. The piglets will not be ready for slaughter until next fall, and it will take another year to breed more piglets. It will take two or three years to truly solve the meat problem.

Fortunately, basically everyone's demand is very low, and everyone has never thought that they can eat pork regularly.

Even a monastery with very good treatment can only eat fried chicken once a week, let alone pork and beef.

Now the only people who can regularly eat eggs are monasteries, military households, and some craftsmen who do heavy manual work.

These people can eat some meat every week and have a lot of cheap spirits to survive, and they are very satisfied.

Many people knew about the life of the Prophet's family, but they were not jealous.

That's the prophet's house, the master's house!
Most slaves will not be jealous of their master's superior life, but if there are the same slaves around who often get good food, they will quickly become jealous and hostile!

It's okay to have skills. If a coward without skills leads a better life than them, these people will be jealous and have murderous intentions.

While developing productivity, the spiritual construction of barbarians also needs to be improved.

In the autumn of the fourteenth year of the New Calendar, Lawrence and Heidi returned to Oak City, where they had just left for a few months.

Farmers outside Oak City are collecting acorns from nearby forests, drying them and grinding them into flour as a food.

Since Lawrence moved many ordinary people from the ring building to build houses on more peripheral land, these people have been given enough food and wages as compensation, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation have been properly solved.

This is not the only way to eat oak trees, but people here spontaneously believe that acorns are a sacred food and want to gain blessings by eating acorns.

This was something Lawrence allowed as an additional benefit to the people of nearby territories.

"Master! Welcome back." Candice and Satice greeted them at the door of the ring building with their maids.

Salil and Sophia were also here. Sophia ran directly to Lawrence, endured the excitement in her heart, and knelt down on one knee respectfully.

"Owner!"

Sophia was very protective of Lawrence's dignity, especially in front of outsiders.

Lawrence nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Has anything happened recently?"

Lawrence rode the black unicorn towards the castle, and the nearby maids followed neatly.

Sariel thought for a moment, "Andersen and Green broke the tool rack you made when they were fighting. I have already taught them a lesson for you."

"It's a bad thing." Lawrence sighed, "What else?"

Salil continued: "The mealworms you raised were killed by Andersen. Andersen carried a big rooster to eat the mealworms. The big rooster spilled the box. This Delen taught you a lesson."

"This news is even worse." Lawrence felt very bad because the mealworms he had raised for more than ten years were gone.

Sophia quickly told the good news, "Since you left, Anyur and the others have been looking forward to your return every day and night. After nearly a hundred days and nights of training, they have fully understood your kindness and greatness."

Salil said: "After you left, Khalan and Dana stopped giving them meat and sugar. They gave them cabbage, carrots, pumpkins and cold black bread every day."

"And we often put them in cages and put them by the window. We let them watch them every day when we eat."

"From the first day, they have been clamoring to see their master, but Kharan only gives each of them the right to lick the plate every week, saying it is to practice their skills."

Lawrence felt that these witches were really inhuman.

I was busy raising cattle, sheep, pigs, and industrial agriculture all day long. As a result, this group of witches were eating and drinking in the back, doing some messy things all day long, and they couldn't even control the two children.

Seeing that Lawrence was silent, Sariel asked curiously: "Lawrence, did you get the wood elf pregnant again in Snow Mountain Castle?"

"No, not one. I'm busy with government affairs all day long. I also have to help with work, exercise, and educate the people. How can I have so much free time as you?"

Salil looked in disbelief, "How come there aren't any?"

"It doesn't matter, there will be more in the future!" Sophia felt that this matter was indifferent. "Master used to not let anyone get pregnant for three or four months. This kind of thing is normal."

"That's right." Salil then remembered that in the past ten years, Lawrence had only given birth to children suddenly in the past few years.

Rastana appeared in the team, stroking her bloated belly and looking at Lawrence, her eyes filled with admiration and fascination.

"The master is the savior of the elves!"

These words made Sariel and other witches feel... somewhat reasonable.

Only three of Lawrence's children were human, but within just one or two months of contact between Lawrence and the wood elves, dozens of elves became pregnant!

"Bring more elves tonight! I don't believe it!" Lawrence hadn't had a party for a long time, so he immediately accepted the title of this savior. (End of chapter)
