Mountain and Forest Kingdom

When Lawrence sat in front of the fire quietly drinking hot Prunus, he was also thinking about the development of the land beneath his feet.

The waters are not suitable for growing crops and there is no industrial land.

At the same time, the light is relatively strong, making it unsuitable for long-term human habitation.

In the nearby waters, you can breed some ducks to lay eggs and plant some aquatic plants.

Based on the reeds here, Kehalan has cultivated high-fiber reeds with a development cycle that is more in line with the climate and more in line with the growth environment of this area.

Near the downstream waterfall is the factory area. Heidi has already found a location to build many waterwheels. After the equipment is completed in two years, it will be officially put into operation.

After the reeds are harvested in the upper reaches, they can be bundled and sent down the water stream to be used for papermaking and weaving. It also allows people in the upper reaches to engage in handicrafts at home.

Daily necessities such as straw mats, baskets and baskets produced by the handicraft industry are all commodities in high demand. Just relying on the output of farmers is simply not enough, and specialized handicraft workshops are needed.

At the same time, this kind of industry can give many women something to do, and they can use their work in exchange for food and daily necessities shipped from various places, as well as education expenses for their children.

Mechanical workshops also require a large amount of labor, and men can also have a place to support their families.

Lawrence simply stayed for more than ten hours, determining various development routes based on the environment and resources upstream.

Lawrence did not interfere too much with the living environment of the Bok people. After providing protection, he allowed them to continue to maintain their original living habits. Except for providing a channel for exchanging knitted goods for food, everything else was as usual.

Also, knowing who the real overlord of this land is, and after obtaining a residence permit, these people will live more at ease.

Although these people may have lived in this land longer, this is not seen here.

When it comes to issues of land and survival, strength has always had the final say. If you want to be reasonable, you must be mentally prepared to die.

Most of the Tagras and Boks don't understand this truth, but at least they understand that when facing a strong person who is many times stronger than themselves, it is best to cooperate obediently.

After Lawrence finished drinking his hot drink, he found the female warrior Amanda looking at the rice pot in the middle.

There is also a lot of mutton rice in the middle pot. The tender mutton is exuding heat, the rice grains are plump, and the soup is delicious. It is really the best rice, which makes your mouth dry and you can't help but swallow your saliva.

It was not only Lawrence who enjoyed the rice, but also some warriors and high-ranking maids.

Hierarchy is a natural product, just like a company's hierarchy.

Especially in this era, the differences between people are indeed huge.

The level and treatment are earned by the hard work of these men and women, or they may have contributed skills and contributions that ordinary people cannot provide.

There is no problem with this kind of differential treatment. Low-level maids and nuns like little nuns can only drink some broth, and meat and rice are given priority to those who can contribute strength and can deal with wild beasts.

The followers who were even less important than the little nun and Tim could only eat bread and drink bone soup.

If you want to eat meat regularly, you have to work harder than others.

Lawrence, despite knowing that Amanda and the others wanted more lamb rice, showed no mercy.

The remaining mutton rice will be eaten by the maid who has not eaten yet, and will not be used to win over people casually.

Sofia walked over quickly with a smile on her face.

"Master, Yu Bao took the two little ducks into the water to play and got tired and couldn't swim anymore. The little ducks kept squawking in the nest. Yu Bao wanted to play with us again, but he couldn't let go of the little ducks in the boat."

Lawrence looked into the distance, when did Sophia and Yu Bao have a good relationship?

You can understand this kind of thing after thinking about it for a while. It must have been what happened yesterday that made Sophia realize her mistake, so she made some corrections today.

Regardless of whether it was a pretense or not, Lawrence was willing to accept this kind of attitude, which was better than being stubborn and acting awkward.

"Yes." Lawrence accepted Sofia's offer, "Yu Bao can keep two little ducks if he is willing to do so. He may not even be able to feed himself now, but we will help."

"You go find someone to help make a bird's nest, and let Yubao take the two little ducks with us to the Snow Mountain Castle below. After all, the water here is connected to the waterfall. If it stays here, it might get lost."

Seeing that Lawrence was willing to talk to her again, Sofia happily agreed.

"Yes, Master!"

Lawrence watched Sofia walk out, and then looked at Amanda.

"Is the Snow Mountain Castle ready?"

Amanda looked away from the mutton rice and replied carefully: "It's ready. Lord Lathander is waiting for you at Snow Mountain Castle."

Heidi introduced some more detailed matters at this time.

"Master, the Snow Mountain Castle and the waterfall city of Gulade are five thousand meters apart. I took into account the noise of the waterfall and waterwheel when selecting the site, so I deliberately separated some distance."

Lawrence nodded with satisfaction, "That's good. Snow Mountain Castle is our resting place, and it's not suitable to be too close to the city. This distance is just right to maintain distance and facilitate the transportation of supplies."

Heidi kept smiling, suppressing the pride and joy in her heart.

She didn't do anything special yesterday, but the arrogant old woman in her twenties made her mistake and angered her master. She deserved it!

Heidi remained modest and humble as she continued to introduce to Lawrence the environment and design concepts of the Snow Mountain Castle, as well as various things encountered during its construction.

It is five or six hours away from Snow Mountain Castle, but even when we get to this place, we are not in a hurry.

After everyone had eaten, they rested for a while, and then slowly started on the road after an hour.

Lana and the other girls were sitting in the carriage pulling goods. The consumption of various ingredients along the way freed up a lot of space. Lana could stay in the back of the carriage with Yubao when the road was not particularly difficult to walk.

Yubao sat in the carriage, looking at the two little ducks pooping next to him, with a worried expression.

It is not only worried about the two little ducks that can poop, but also how to take care of them and the various troubles that need to be solved to take care of the two little ducks.

Yubao, who is a child himself, already feels responsible for the trouble, but he doesn't want to lose these two little ducks.

Lana smiled and said: "Yubao, don't be sad, the owner allows you to raise these two ducks, and we will help you take care of them!"

"Wow..." Yu Bao lay on the wooden carriage board, feeling a little unhappy.

The two little ducks did not have the wisdom of the fish. They only knew how to chirp and make noises with their mouths open.

Ducklings at this age cannot go into the water often, nor can they run on land for too long. They spend most of their time waiting in the nest.

Yubao didn't want to stay in the carriage.

Sofia quickly approached the carriage with the bird's nest in hand.

"Ms. Sophia!" The female guard driving the car outside greeted her quickly.

Several girls sitting side by side at the back of the carriage soon saw the smiling blond sister Sophia.

Sophia is no longer the teenage slave girl she was before. She is already a tall and charming blonde aristocrat. As Heidi often said, you can tell she is over twenty-five years old at a glance!

Several girls and young girls also quickly got out of the car, "Ms. Sophia!"

Sofia smiled and said: "Well, let me take a look at Yubao and the two little ducks. You see, I prepared bird's nests, soaked grains and vegetables for the two little ducks, as well as bugs that the little ducks will like to eat! "

Sofia quickly asked the maid to put the bird's nest and vegetables on the cart, and she took a wooden box and placed it in front of Yubao.

The wooden box contained mealworms, fat bugs bred in captivity mainly to feed birds in the winter.

Sophia wanted to feed the little duck and improve her relationship with the fish, so she opened the box and pinched a small worm with her fingers.

At this time, Yubao raised his head and looked at the box curiously, and quickly stretched out his hand to catch a bug and have a look.

Seeing this, Sophia quickly said with a smile: "Yubao, open your mouth, you should be able to eat this bug, right? This tastes very good!"

Yubao soon opened his mouth happily, completely forgetting yesterday's hatred.

Sophia put the worm into Yubao's wide-open mouth.

Yubao quickly closed his mouth, chewed it a few times, and quickly looked at the box happily.

Sophia now knew what Yu Bao liked to eat, "Yu Bao, this is for you, we will be good friends from now on!"

Sophia has always been very smart, with the intelligence and energy common to witches, and the laziness common to witches. She is too lazy to think about things that are not necessary, too lazy to deal with them, and too lazy to work hard.

When necessary, uncomplicated matters can often be handled very well.

Yu Bao stood up on his feet and firmly caught the wooden box handed over by Sophia with both hands, "Wow~"

Children, as long as they stutter, will not hold grudges. (End of chapter)
