Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 238 Silent Parental Dignity

Although she wasn't jumping up and down, Lori, who had already started to have all kinds of strange thoughts in her mind, was trying to induce Ruth Kania to remember how many meters she had set.

One thousand meters is not a big deal, but at two thousand meters he was really worried about whether there might be some underground hot springs or magma.

Although the constant temperature layer and the variable temperature layer in the fantasy world may be different, the basic concept is still the same!
A cold place doesn't mean there is no geothermal heat.

Otherwise, Iceland’s capital would not be the cleanest city on Earth… hot water would be gushing out from underground wells hundreds of meters deep.

God knows where Ruth Kania is!
If the underground hot springs were really drilled out, then... the impact force, and the huge kinetic energy generated by the collision between cold and hot... damn, in the previous world, that was energy that could be used to generate electricity!

Lori didn't think that ten meters thick, thousand-year-old ice could withstand such a huge impact force.

Besides, why raise ice fish?
Then it must be cooked immediately!

Lowry stared at the lake and began to redesign his home.

And from the bottom of my heart I sighed: “Pray! Ruth Kania.

Otherwise, when Bolanos comes back, you two will have to move.”

Who would dare to raise a baby dragon in a place where a block of ice might break off and a hot spring might burst out at any time?

It's not a red dragon.

But Lori had already arranged for his mother's men to live in the outer lake area, and the people of the Yagris Knights seemed to have regarded it as a holiday resort, especially those who lived in separate houses, and even settled their families there.

Lori, the small grocery store that was originally planned... really sold everything, including vegetables, meat, and fruits, in small quantities but complete varieties... in the end it turned into a small supermarket.

Even the castle servants working there have been reduced from five to fifteen.

There is no other way. Although there are aids such as cleaning arrays, places with a lot of people, especially children, will inevitably need manpower to take care of it regularly.

Cheska was forced to recruit another round of castle servants.

Of course, this time, she followed the convention and chose the younger one.

After all, there are no suitable unemployed young people in Qingfeng Territory now, and all the available places have already been filled.

There is no way. Even after Madam Yagris took over the territory, some people who were not very talented but whose families were okay stopped going out on adventures... Not all adventure groups and mercenaries can make money!

In any profession, even in the fantasy world, the top group will always get the most, and the small number in the middle can only get a small share.

Then, the largest number of people at the bottom of the society can earn just enough to support their families by dividing the remaining soup.

It’s just that the soup of some professions is just the cake of other professions.

But adventurers are different, they really risk their lives.

It’s just that if he’s not dead, he can support himself well, and if he dies, he can send some money to his family.

Therefore, those who have good talents and can join the army will definitely go if they have the chance.

But those with poor talents, including those of middle and lower class, would still want to stay at home if their own territory can survive.

The hundreds of blank tombstones in Gezar County over the years are a testament to their sorrow.

Therefore, Lori was able to dig out more than a hundred available castle servants from the territory, as well as a considerable number of territory workers...that is, although they could not enter the castle to work, they could work in small shops in towns and villages such as rabbit meat pie shops.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there are no odd-jobbers in his territory.

But these people couldn't even pass the castle's qualification review, not even the simplest one.

Either you have done something wrong or there is something wrong with your family.

It is rare to find a lord like Lori, who knew that they might have problems but did not expel them on "false" charges. He even allowed them to do odd jobs and sell rabbits, and recognized their status as Gezaar citizens.

Of course, if Lowry catches him in the act, the punishment will definitely be severe enough.

Moreover, he basically caught them all.

Lowry himself could not have imagined that he had completed the journey that took other territories eighty years in just eight years.

The economy and human resources have all reached a balance, but his territory clearly still has a long way to go.

At least, there are still decades of economic upswing...and his own castle planning has not been fully completed!
Although Lowry can do many things by himself, he will not choose to do so if he has enough money.

He was still willing to provide enough physical work for his subjects.

The most embarrassing group of people in his territory right now are those over-mature adults whose physical fitness has passed its peak but who are not very good at technical work.

Although they were able to open up farmland outside the city and hunt rabbits for money because of Lowry's permission and protection, but everyone else was making money to improve their lives, only they were supporting their families... This awkward feeling made these pillars who once supported a family feel a little embarrassed.

Lowry saw a lot of similar, unspoken sorrow from his own birdie eyes.

For these people, the various temporary jobs given out by the lord after the busy farming season every year, where they can earn a lot of money as long as they are obedient and work hard, are their last bit of face.

At least, I can stand up straight in front of the children at home who have formal jobs.

Lori used to think that only traditional East Asian parents would have this feeling... Westerners, who are simple-minded and only think about their own interests, would not be so unable to let go.

However, from the behavior of his subjects, it can be seen that even though they are used to separating their children to live their own lives after they grow up and start their own families, it does not mean that they can accept the result that they, who are in good health, do not earn as much as their children who have just grown up.

The indescribable self-esteem of being a parent is the same everywhere.

Lowry was actually quite willing to fulfill these people's self-esteem... After all, these little thoughts were the first time he figured them out in this world.

In the past, he didn't have the time or interest to understand the inner thoughts of his parents' generation. He just wanted to stay away from them.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t want it at all, but it will only be negative.

At that time, his only thankfulness was that he was not a girl.

Speaking of which, the place they live in has always been pretty good to girls. Although they will develop their ability to do housework, they won't really be troubled by housework every day.

It seems that he really spoils his daughter.

However, what is very interesting is that in their place, although it seems that all boys and girls are attending college, the male-to-female ratio for those above the second-tier universities quickly drops to seven to three. For those above the first-tier universities, it is even worse, with a ratio of nine to one at best.

It can be said that if his family had a girl, he would definitely invest much more in that girl than in his youngest son.

If that girl also gets admitted to an art school, her family will definitely not only provide tuition and a certain amount of living expenses, but also brushes, paper, canvas and the like to allow her to paint until she doesn't want to paint anymore.

It is impossible for him to be like Lowry, who had to think carefully every day before daring to put pen to paper on the canvas that cost more than his daily meal money.

However, people like Lori, who understood the situation very early on, would never think that these girls would have a happy future.

His mother was once a good girl who was spoiled in a certain family!
She has a job, a dowry, and is pretty good-looking, but isn't it the same? She has no ideas of her own, blindly follows the ways of those around her, and divides her own children into different classes?
However, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her... after all, everyone did it.

A boy like Lowry can still dig out the truth in such a cold family atmosphere.

As long as he doesn't crave his parents' love so much because he lacked love since childhood, it would be enough to just give him a big red envelope with some value during the holidays.

But it is really difficult for girls to get over this... Even if they marry far away, they know very well how to gain benefits for their own family within the bottom line of their husband's family.

After all, her parents have been so good to her since she was a child. As a child, how could she not repay them?
She didn't go too far. At least her small family wouldn't suffer because of it, right?
The first time Lori understood this was because he clearly realized that in his mother's heart, the most important person was the eldest son, and then her nephew.

In her heart, these two are the only ones she can rely on for the future.

Moreover, this very subtle traditional concept seems to have been tacitly maintained by everyone.

Even if I don't have a daughter in my family, I won't break it up.

No one envies a family consisting of only boys. The best family is a 'good' one.

So, don’t ask them why they want to have more children when they already have boys.

Of course, Lowry knew that he was also raised to be selfish and indifferent by that family, so he finally chose to escape alone and never look back.

This is also because he is older but has never had a serious relationship.

He also had a crush on cute girls before, and he knew that they were just waiting for him to speak up, but Lowry never took a step forward.

He had been keeping his soul tightly trapped in his body, not daring to release even a trace of his self.

He knew very well that he was just a selfish guy who was good at running away...Lori was acting from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to hurt others but also hurt himself.

Therefore, all of Lowry's current understanding comes from Mrs. Yagris.

His mother has many of the same little thoughts, but her starting point is completely different.

Mrs. Yagris also attaches great importance to her own interests, but she does not love only herself.

She was nice to Lori because she loved her son, not because she regarded her son as her hope for the future.

The future she wanted was only in her own hands...Lori was the icing on the cake, not a tool in her hands.
