Most people are not aware of the population problem in Dumuhamn.

The population problem in Dumu Port has not worsened to the point where it cannot survive. The great prophet just solved this problem in advance.

Lawrence cannot be said to be diligent in political affairs, but he can be said to be wise. He can always avoid some difficult problems in advance based on the experience of later generations.

A large part of Port Dum is much higher than sea level. The mountains here block the flow of the Agama Mountains, causing the river to meander towards the west.

The seaside mountains and cliffs dominate much of the site, hindering development while also providing solid protection from summer hurricanes blowing in from the west.

It is not that there are no typhoons in the cold zone. Wherever there are ocean storms, there will be similar hurricane disasters, and no one can escape.

The summer outside is autumn in the land of ice, and this is also the season when Lawrence forbids Ama to enter the water.

At this time of year, the work of the haenyeo will change from fishing and gathering to weaving and housework.

Housework is not for one's own family, but for the monastery and Lawrence in exchange for payment.

The monastery stores bacon, pickles and winter seasonings every autumn, and needs a lot of help at this time.

Those who came to help include wives and daughters of noble families, women from haenyeo and nearby working-class families, and daughters or mistresses of merchant families.

Basically, they come from all walks of life, and gradually formed a habit.

Whenever there are festivals and some large banquets, women will come to help.

This gathering type activity is not only a time for dedication to the prophet, but also a time for women to exchange information with each other.

Not everyone can enter the monastery. More girls will choose to get married, and mothers will come to ask which family has promising children worthy of their daughter's admission.

The monastery was a social platform for women. In this era, it was difficult for women to get together and get to know people outside the village.

The monastery, where women from aristocratic merchants' families gathered, and prophet maids and nuns walked around, could easily become a holy place in the hearts of women.

And if he comes often to work, he might meet a prophet.

"Quack gua gua~ gua gua gua~"

Yubao imitated the frogs in the mountains and croaked, holding a chicken leg in one hand and a harpoon in the other as he walked out.

Today is the day I came from the manor and monastery to work.

Not only Yubao, but also Lana and Torivi came over.

Torrevi has become the vice-president of the monastery. She has no management experience, but is very trusted by the children and young nuns, and can communicate well with several monasteries and churches.

This is something that even the young dean cannot do.

Lana looked at Yubao walking towards the monastery and shouted: "Yubao, go to the monastery by yourself. The vice-chancellor and I will go to the church. The vice-chancellor's son is waiting for us there."

"Gua~" Yubao didn't look back, he raised the chicken leg in his hand and waved to the two people behind him, then put it down, took another bite, and walked forward happily.

Yu Bao is very smart, and Dumu Harbor is also where Yu Bao grew up. Lana is also relieved that Yu Bao will go to the monastery alone.

Everyone at the train station also knew this little guy, and they took the initiative to make way for Yubao and greeted him with a smile.

"Hi! Fish treasure!"

"Qua~"

"Yubao has learned a new voice again!"

"Qua~"

"Yu Bao! Do you want to drink?"

"Ka~" Yu Bao spit out and left directly.

Yubao only likes to eat sweet food and does not like spicy food. Spicy food is one of the few things that Yubao, who is not picky about food, does not like.

Lana and Torivi walked towards the church.

Bull's son Kenny wrote to Torrevi to meet at Dom Harbor Church.

In addition to Kenny, there is also Kenny's fiancée, Torrevi's daughter. After arriving near the church, Kenny, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, brought a young girl over.

"Mother!"

Kenny has always regarded Torrevi as his mother.

The family concept of savages is very weak, and the relationship between father and son or mother and son is very thin.

But it may be that there is no father and there is a biological mother who always talks about sending him away, which makes the young Kenny very dependent on Torrevi who treats him tenderly.

Torrevi nodded happily and persuaded: "You are now the pastor of the Prophet, and I am a nun. You can call me Sister."

Kenny smiled and said, "Yes, Sister Superior."

"Let's go in and say that Nilahaita and I have decided to get married this year, and we hope you will be our witness."

Torrevi quickly refused, "I can't. Let Mr. Bull do this kind of thing, or you should ask the prophet for his opinion. If you can get the prophet to bless you, then you will definitely be happy."

Kenny still hopes that Torrevi will help witness the marriage. In fact, he does not respect Lawrence and Bull as much as the others.

But with Lawrence's consent, Kenny became the pastor of the church, and Kenny, like the Seravans, has been doing things for Lawrence.

"I'll give it a try. If the prophet doesn't have time to do such a thing, I hope you can witness the marriage for us."

Torrevi still felt that Bull was more suitable, "I will ask you about it when I go back to the monastery next time."

"Okay." Kenny didn't force anything, and he also knew his mother's character. "We have prepared some gifts for you, you must like them."

The Kennys took Torrevi into the cathedral.

Lana looked curious and followed boredly as if she was in the way.

If I had known she would have followed Yubao to the monastery... Lana regretted following her.

On the other side, Yubao, who came up from the sea after finishing his work, suddenly smelled a familiar smell, so he quickly called a haenyeo on duty at the beach, and was carried to the prophet's house by a haenyeo with a happy face.

"Ouch~owoo~"

Lawrence, who was exercising in the yard, heard Yu Bao's voice, and soon saw a young haenyeo walking into the yard holding Yu Bao.

Yubao quickly broke away from the girl's arms and jumped to the ground to greet Lawrence.

"Qua~"

Lawrence smiled and said to the restrained tool worker Haenyeo: "Take some fresh fruits and go back to eat."

"Yes! Prophet!" The tool-man Haenyeo quickly bowed her thanks.

After Yu Bao saw it, he also lifted up his straw hat, took out a bulging frog wallet and handed it to Lawrence.

"Oh!" Yu Bao made a strange sound and gestured with his finger again.

Lawrence knew what Yu Bao meant, so he opened the tightly closed ring wallet, took out a copper coin and handed it to the tool man Haenyeo, then tightened the wallet and returned it to Yu Bao.

Yubao held up his straw hat happily.

If he didn't often invite Lana to eat meat with him, Yubao's wallet would only be bigger and bigger.

However, the meaning of making money for Yubao is to spend money, and saving money is also to spend it happily. Without Lana and eating, drinking and having fun together, there is no point in spending money.

"Yu Bao, you and Lana are staying in Dumu Port these days. It's almost time for the fleet I sent to the east to come back."

"Quick~" Yubao agreed casually, and soon after the maid brought fresh fruit, he sat under the big tree and started eating happily.

The food here in Lawrence is free and delicious.

Lawrence, like Yu Bao, is not short of money. What is lacking is mainly a good partner who can accompany him to eat, drink and have fun while being able to get along with him on an equal footing.

Lana should be considered one, but Lana still wants to become a nun, and... can't support herself.

Yu Bao can actually support himself, and has always done so. (End of chapter)
