Chapter 203 Birth Policy
The delivery process of Haen Village Chief’s wife lasted too long, so she had no strength at the end, which was a very dangerous sign.
However, after Elron arrived, he immediately used the exhilaration spell, which gave her strength instantly. In the two minutes that the exhilaration spell lasted, she successfully gave birth to the child.
Although there was a small tear, the bleeding stopped quickly and she recovered under the effect of the healing spell.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Elron. Please stay for a simple meal tonight!"
Haen Village Chief’s old mother was already preparing dinner. She took out the good food and dried meat she had saved, and even slaughtered a live chicken.
It was hard to refuse the kindness, so Elron had to agree.
When Roning arrived at Haen’s house, although there was the sound of a baby crying in the simple courtyard, the adults were all smiling and happy.
"My Lord, you are back!"
Elron, who was sharp-eyed, saw Roning outside the yard and immediately stood up to greet him.
Haen was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was beating wildly. He didn't expect that the lord would return to the territory and condescend to come to his home.
"Lord, your arrival is really an honor for our family!"
He hurriedly followed him out and welcomed Roning in a little awkwardly. His family was also nervously moving stools and wiping the table.
"It seems that everything is going well. Congratulations, Village Chief Haen!"
Roning congratulated while taking the child from the other old mother and holding him in his arms.
The child didn't look very good, even a little ugly.
But all children look like this when they are born. They will be much better when they grow up.
"Have you given him a name?"
"Not yet... not yet." Haen shook his head.
Roning smiled and said, "How about I give him a name?"
"Yes!"
Haen was surprised and a little unrecognizable, "Of course!"
It was a great honor for his child to be held in the arms of the lord, but he didn't expect the lord to give him a name!
If this matter were to be told, I'm afraid the other village chiefs would be envious to death.
"A boy or a girl?" Roning asked.
"It's a boy."
Roning handed the baby in his arms to Irene, who was eager to try, and held it for a while. He stroked his chin and thought carefully about the child's name.
After a while, he slowly said: "Just Garen."
He explained: "I saw this name in a book, Garen, an upright, brave and powerful knight. I hope your child can become such a knight as described in the book, and become a hero of Wubei Territory!"
"Garen, Garen..."
Haen listened to the lord's words, and his eyes lit up. He seemed to see his child holding a sword and riding a horse in the future. Handsome appearance.
"Thank you for the name, I will teach him well and serve you in the future!"
That night, because the lord was a guest, Haen's family prepared an unprecedented sumptuous dinner.
For this reason, they not only killed chickens and ducks, but also went to the castle to buy two live fish.
Although their cooking skills were a little worse than Mrs. Bandler's at the beginning of the castle, they had tried their best.
Given the enthusiasm of the host, Ronin was not polite and ate and drank.
However, he left three gold coins when he left, saying that it was a thank you for Haen's hospitality and a gift for Galen.
This meal was simple for Shanlin Castle, but it cost too much for Haen's family, and Ronin didn't want to make them spend money.
On the way back, Ronin said to himself: "The living environment and sanitation of the people are still a little bit worse."
Even for the village chief Haen, the structure of their house made Ronin frown.
Their bedrooms, kitchens, chickens and ducks are basically raised in several connected rooms, and the smell is really bad.
The dinner table was moved to the yard, otherwise Ronin might not be able to eat it.
"Gallon, tell Wilson when he comes back that the people should separate the living rooms and chicken coops when they build houses."
"Let them not worry about theft. The security of the territory will be further strengthened, the rule of law will keep up, and thieves will be severely punished."
Gallon hurriedly wrote this down.
Elron said on the side: "My lord, this matter should not be completed smoothly in the short term? After all, this involves the family environment of each resident, and they don't have so much time to transform it."
"Of course, this is a long process."
Roning nodded and said: "This is all the people's own business. The Lord's Mansion only advocates and suggests, and allows them to expand and repair the house free of charge."
Life hygiene may seem like a small problem, but the impact is not small.
A good living environment will make people healthier and children will grow better.
"Elron, I didn't expect you could deliver babies."
Ronin changed the subject, "When did you learn this skill?"
Elron was a little embarrassed, "Your Excellency misunderstood, I just used the Invigoration spell to help them deliver, and then used the Healing spell to avoid unexpected situations such as bleeding."
"That's also amazing."
Ronin said with a smile, being able to reduce the risk of childbirth is something that not everyone can do in this era.
It's a pity that there is only one light magician, Elron, and he can't handle too many women in labor, so he is destined to be unable to assist in large-scale delivery.
The four of them walked and talked.
When Ronin learned that there were six newborns in Shanlin Town in the past month, he decided to implement a fertility policy in Wubei Territory. After all, fertility is also a way to increase population.
After discussing with Elron, Ronin initially determined two policies.
The first is for pregnant women: pregnant women are exempted from labor during pregnancy and within three months after giving birth, and pregnant women are prohibited from participating in heavy physical labor.
For those who force pregnant women to participate in heavy physical labor and cause miscarriage or even death of pregnant women, different degrees of whipping will be given according to the situation.
Secondly, if a baby is successfully born, ten trees can be cut down and a ten-square-meter house can be built for free. At the same time, in the next three years, the child can apply for 100 kilograms of grain rewards from the Lord's Mansion every year as a child.
These two policies are substantial and can benefit the families who give birth.
Ronin believes that with their promulgation, it will definitely bring a good change to the fertility of Wubei Territory.
"Your Excellency has always been kind to the people of the territory."
Elron stroked his gray-white beard, which had grown at some point, "May the light shine forever on you and the residents of Wubei Territory."
Ronin hadn't heard such a charlatan's words for a long time, and couldn't help but smile for a moment.
He looked at Elron's current state of practice. Through his own practice, he had already raised his level to the level of a senior magician 33/400.
Although the speed was not slow, it would probably take another three years to become a great magician through his own efforts.
Back in the castle, Elron sent the finished spell scrolls to Ronin's study.
"My Excellency, the Warcraft leather I bought last time has been made. The success rate this time has been greatly improved. There were five failures in total, and the final product was fifty."
Ronin looked at the pile of spell scrolls in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
If he sold all the fifty spell scrolls, he would have another 850 gold coins in his account.
Although the net profit is only 355 gold coins after deducting the 495 gold coins spent on purchasing materials, this is only the profit for more than one month.
If it is changed to a year, relying on the sale of healing spell scrolls, Wubei Territory will have a net income of more than 2,000 gold coins.
Elron is really a good money-maker.
"Keep 20 spell scrolls and sell the remaining 30."
Ronin said, and put the spell scrolls into the space ring.
This is a strategic material, Wubei Territory needs to reserve.
When necessary, Ronin can also give these things as rewards to his knights.
"Elron, I can see your contribution to the territory, and your ability is also very important to Wubei Territory!"
Ronin looked at the light attribute magician, "So this time, I decided to improve your strength." (End of this chapter)
