Chapter 129 Cub
Lawrence brought half a basket of bread, half a basket of bacon and a basket of vegetables.
Sophia was at home today looking after the house while Lawrence and Saryl led the sheep down the mountain.
When they arrived at the house, the slaves were already loading the ore on carts to transport down.
Salil said, "Is this Doug's car?"
"Yeah." Lawrence looked at the wooden car, "This thing often breaks. If it breaks, just find a new piece of wood and pierce holes in it to replace it." The
wooden car is an ordinary wooden car. For the structure of the wooden cart, the carpenters in the village went to build the boat. The people who stayed behind didn't know how to make the axle, so they just dealt with it casually.
It doesn't matter if the car breaks down, just move it.
Barbarians can even carry a boat, and carrying some ore is child's play for them.
Problems that can be solved with muscles cannot be solved with the brain.
Lawrence made an appointment with the blacksmith and set off with the people after checking that there was no problem.
Salil also followed to discuss the employment price of serfs with Emma and other left-behind women.
Trading and hiring can not only solve the problem of lack of labor in the manor, but also improve people's intelligence to a certain extent.
In fact, the barbarians of the Luofen Kingdom are also moving towards the civilized world. They have obtained trade permits from several foreign ports, where they can exchange slaves and jewelry materials for more food.
When trading, you will naturally be impacted by foreign ideas. The culture of barbarians is not worth mentioning in front of the culture of those civilized and powerful countries, and it is easy to lose your faith.
Moreover, after the weak southern kingdom is defeated, the barbarian kingdom will have to face a powerful empire occupying fertile land. If it cannot defeat it, it will transform from barbarism to civilization.
Trading is the rule, which makes the barbarians realize that they cannot make a fortune just by robbing. They must have a place where they can trade.
The current Pumixiu people know about the transaction, and so do the bandits in the Barbarian Kingdom.
If more workshops and technologies are listed in the manor, then transactions with Yamashita will be more frequent.
When Lawrence approached the town of Phumexiu, he found several children playing at the entrance of the village.
The patrol tasks in the village have been handed over to the children who have nothing to do. The children like to play in open areas, so they naturally gather near the entrance.
Lawrence soon saw the little boy who cried yesterday when he beat him with a tree branch.
The little boy also clearly remembered Lawrence and ran home quickly when he saw Lawrence and Salil coming over.
Lawrence quickly shouted: "Beow! Don't run, come here, I will give you bread to eat."
When they heard that there was bread to eat, the children nearby gathered around.
Some scared little boys also stopped under the temptation of bread and hesitated for a few seconds. After all, they could not resist the temptation and came over with the other children.
Lawrence looked at other people's children and said arrogantly: "I don't have a share for you. If you want to eat bread, ask your mother to come to me outside the Friesen house, and ask your slaves or men and women to help me." Work, and I'll give you bread."
Lawrence was not used to these children. When he saw a child reaching out to touch the bread basket, he quickly picked up a branch and hit it.
"Don't touch my bread!"
Words are useless against these children. They eat whatever they want, steal or even rob.
Lawrence said viciously: "If you touch me again, I will step on the ground and spank you!"
Although he did not look strong, the scene of Lawrence beating a child yesterday still shocked the children present.
Those who were beaten did not dare to resist Lawrence, and they all stood aside and watched eagerly.
Lawrence would not be polite, let alone show an ounce of sympathy.
These are pure barbarian children in front of them. Children at this age are the most dangerous. Their bodies and desires are growing rapidly, but their values and moral values have not kept up.
Moreover, Lawrence didn’t dare to mess with them casually. Strong words would easily lead to backlash. They didn’t even know what guilt meant.
Fortunately, their equally savage parents respected Lawrence very much. In addition, he had been traveling around as a veterinarian a while ago, as well as his attendance and popularity in several battles, so it was a little more intimidating.
The most important thing is violence! Yesterday's violent beatings on Beow's children made these children fearful, who are more dangerous than wild beasts.
Lawrence said to the frightened and expectant boy: "Beow, let's go to your house and give you a piece of bread."
Lawrence took out a long piece of bread from the basket, tore off a finger-wide corner and handed it to Beow.
Just as Beow was about to stretch out his hand, the boys and children around him stretched out their hands to snatch the bread.
"This is not for you! Go home to your mother!" Lawrence took back his hand and scolded these dirty barbarian children sternly, even raising a branch.
Several children were quickly scared away, but Lawrence handed the bread to Beow, put the remaining bread in the basket, and then led the sheep forward.
"Beow, hurry up and follow!"
Beow stuffed the bread into his mouth in a few seconds, and then followed happily.
The bread is fluffy gray bread with sawdust and wheat hulls added, which is larger and tastes worse.
Beow ate quickly and was very happy, while the other children were still looking at this with envy and curiosity.
Lawrence felt that it was very troublesome. If these children tried to rob together... To be honest, they couldn't beat them.
Although they are young, the smallest of these children is as big as a fox, and the largest is taller than a wild wolf.
Moreover, they will cooperate, and they will forget the pain when they fight, and they will not know what fear is.
Barbarian children have been practicing fighting and wrestling since they were young. If children of seven, eight, or more than ten years old come together, even adult barbarians must be careful.
These wild children have no rules at all. They will use stones and sharp branches as weapons. They do not attack lightly or hard. They just want to kill the opponent in front of them.
If they are not taught the concept of rules from an early age, they will grow up to become the kind of barbarians who take pride in robbing and killing.
Lawrence held the breadbasket in one hand and the child's stick in the other.
In the end, the children nearby ran home to find their mother and stopped staring at Lawrence's belongings with their simple eyes.
Beow, who had eaten the bread, was also looking at Lawrence's basket and wanted to eat the bread.
Lawrence also noticed Beow's honest eyes. These growing children are prone to hunger, and hunger will drive them to do many radical things.
For a long time they had no concept of equal exchange, only robbery and a strong need to get food immediately.
So Lawrence will not hire these children, at least until these children realize the rules and have patience, and will not give these children the opportunity to destroy and steal.
The cultivation of the next generation of barbarians is of great significance and has far-reaching responsibilities.
"Beow, let your mother come out, and I will discuss the bread with her."
Lawrence quickly drove Beow away. The matter of beating him yesterday had actually been solved long ago. After all, it was his mother who took the initiative to make the money. Today Giving some bread is just a humanitarian compensation.
Beow quickly ran into the house and called for someone, and Friesen's wife quickly came out.
"Mr. Lawrence, what's going on today?"
The left-behind women in the village were also of orthodox savage descent, but compared to the children, these adults were more in awe of Lawrence's identity as a witch doctor.
The attitude of adults can affect the attitude of children to a certain extent.
Lawrence looked at Beoff standing at the door of the house, and Beoff's younger brothers and sisters.
"I need someone to do some work for me. In return, I can provide bread and food until Doug and the others come back."
Lawrence took out the bread from the basket, "This is the reward, bread without branches and weeds!"
Soon the left-behind women in Pumixiu Town gathered together to bask in the sun and discuss business matters with Lawrence.
Just like borrowing tools, they soon agreed to lend their own slaves to Lawrence for work.
