Lord Harland.

Chapter 120 Sophia's Pregnancy

As the territory grew larger and the population increased, things became more and more complicated.

Li Cha was gradually overwhelmed with government affairs, and Li Cha had already handed over the affairs of the baron's mansion to the housekeeper, Bernard Luca.

In addition to taking care of Richard and his wife, Wendy and other members of the Harland family, Bernard is also responsible for managing the orc slaves.

The Harland family now has three butlers. The chief butler, Gibson Ralph, follows William and is mainly responsible for the communication of the Harland family and manages the mansion of Black River Castle.

The second housekeeper, Bernard Luca, followed Richard and was responsible for managing the orc slaves and the Fort William City Lord's Mansion.

Mrs. Ola also has a housekeeper, Liliana, who takes care of the underage children of William and Mrs. Ola, and participates in some of the business activities of the Harland family.

The property run by Mrs. Ola is now mainly in the charge of Liliana and the court lady Ms. Kelly.

Mrs. Ola no longer directly manages the property. Her main task is to be a good baroness and communicate with the noble ladies of Heihe City.

Part of the intelligence network of the Harland family is also in the hands of Mrs. Ola.

Li Cha wanted to get rid of the complicated routine work, and now he urgently needed to find some assistants in government affairs, and he already had several candidates in his mind.

The two cousins, Adrian and Tang En, are both candidates.

This spring Li Cha has arranged some jobs for them, and the two cousins ​​are doing quite well, neither too good nor too incompetent.

Both Adrian and Twain have received a complete education, which has surpassed 90.00% of the people in the territory.

If you want to be Li Cha's assistant, you must at least not be illiterate.

There are more than 5000 people in the territory, and only a few dozen are literate.

The literacy rate on Chenxi Continent is much lower than in ancient China.

Under the conscious blockade of the nobles, there is no such person as Confucius in this world.

Only one of the hundreds of people in the Grant Kingdom can read and write.

The threshold for studying is very high. Even if you are sent to a missionary school, you will need a few gold coins for tuition every year. Ordinary serfs and citizens cannot afford the cost of studying and going to school.

Only high-income earners, such as senior craftsmen, butchers, mercenaries, hunters, soldiers, and bounty hunters, have the ability to let children study, study for a year or two, and have the opportunity to change their destiny.

In this world, only nobles have the right to be bureaucrats. Even if ordinary people have studied, they are useless in a closed society.

Nobles will only use their own clansmen as bureaucrats, assistants, and even caravans controlled by nobles will use clansmen first, and domestic slaves second.

Even if ordinary people have outstanding talents, they can be a small businessman at most and earn a living.

On the contrary, the Church of the Seven Gods will train some poor people.

Church schools will absorb bright students, reduce their tuition fees, reduce the burden of schooling, train them to join the church, grow into professionals, and gradually enter the church management.

Because there are gods in this world, even though the Seven Gods are still sleeping, the top members of the church are basically people of faith. These people are generally more moral than the noble class, and relatively speaking, the priests of the church are more civilized than the feudal nobles.

Because investing in children's education is not cost-effective, even high-income earners rarely let their children read and write, and become educated people.

The scholars in the territory, Li Cha basically entrusted them with important tasks, and all of them were freed from physical labor.

Even if they were asked to write calculations, register reports, and count supplies, Li Cha felt that it was more efficient and useful than manual labor.

Adrian Richard is going to let him manage the sanitation of the territory. In addition to being the director of the hospital, he also needs to prevent plagues and study diseases.

Through the sheep-headed man, Li Cha discovered several herbal medicines for treating diseases, such as the diuretic rush grass, the yellow flower puffer for malaria, and the loquat leaves for coughing. After research, these herbs also work on humans.

Because there is a magic factor in this world, Li Cha doesn't know if the traditional Chinese medicine theory in his previous life is useful.

But through plants, minerals, diseases can indeed be treated.

Richard arranged for Adrian to summarize the experience of using medicinal herbs to treat diseases, hoping to develop a medical theory with wide applicability.

If medical theory develops, it will benefit the vast majority of ordinary people.

On the Dawn Continent, ordinary people can only fend for themselves when they get sick. Unless you are a devout believer and know the pastor of the church, it is possible to receive magical healing.

Adrian is in charge of managing the medical and health care of the territory, while Tang En is in charge of the cultivation and farming of the territory.

In the future, it is not necessary for Richard to do things like reclaiming farmland and planting food in the territory, just let Tang En watch.

In terms of agriculture, the brown sugar tree plantation that Li Cha valued the most, Li Cha did not hand it over to Tang En, but appointed an old man with rich planting experience, Ihakir.

Ihakir used to be Baron Dirham's fruit farmer and was responsible for managing the orchard for Baron Dirham.

After the fall of Marte Castle, Ihakir became a slave, but was rescued by Richard and came to Harland.

When planting brown sugar trees, Li Cha hired some people with experience in taking care of trees to take charge of the management. Ihakir has done a good job in the past two years. A manager in a brown sugar plantation.

The person who manages government affairs and law for Li Cha has not been found for a while.Those who can handle government affairs and are proficient in legal provisions are basically nobles.

It is still relatively difficult for the baron class to let a nobleman leave the family to assist him.

Only at the earl level can we really recruit some idle talents.

Li Cha was going to discuss with Sophia and write a letter to his two brothers-in-law to see if he could let them return to northern Xinjiang to share part of the government affairs and legal work for him.

In a territory of more than 2 people, if you encounter trivial matters, you have to ask yourself to make a ruling. How can you do without a judge?
Li Cha had just finished a busy day when he suddenly noticed that Sophia's face was a little pale. He was about to ask a question when Sophia bent down and retched.

"Well, are you pregnant?"

Li Cha had experience in his previous life. Seeing this scene, he was overjoyed and immediately asked Sophia.

"I don't know. I've been feeling a little tired during this time, and I can't lift my spirits. Whether I'm pregnant or not, I have to wait for a while to see the changes in my stomach to be sure."

There is neither Chinese medicine nor Western medicine in Chenxi Continent, and magicians can't create a magic to detect whether pregnant women are pregnant?
In this world, women mainly rely on experience to check whether they are pregnant. Sophia's mother died at the hands of the orcs. Without her mother's teaching, she didn't understand such things at all.

In the end, the belly gradually became pregnant, and then I realized that I was pregnant with a child.
