Lord: The inheritance right is taken away at the beginning

Chapter 204 Birth Policy

The labor process for Village Chief Hahn's wife lasted so long that she was completely exhausted, which was a very dangerous sign.

However, after Elrond arrived, he immediately used the power of inspiration, which gave her instant strength. The power of inspiration lasted for two minutes, and she successfully gave birth to the child.

Although there was a small tear, the bleeding stopped quickly, and the patient recovered thanks to the healing technique.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Elrond. Please stay for dinner tonight!"

Village chief Haen's old mother was already preparing dinner. She took out the good food and dried meat she had saved and slaughtered a live chicken.

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Elrond had no choice but to agree.

When Roning arrived at Hahn's house, although a baby was crying in the simple courtyard, the adults were smiling and having a good time.

"My lord, you are back!"

The sharp-eyed Elron saw Ronin outside the yard and immediately stood up to greet him.

Hahn was stunned for a moment, and then his heart began to beat wildly. He did not expect the lord to return to the territory and condescend to visit his home.

"My Lord, your coming is truly an honor to our family!"

He hurriedly followed him out and welcomed Luo Ning in somewhat awkwardly. His family was also nervously moving stools and wiping the table.

"It looks like everything went well. Congratulations, Village Chief Haan!"

While congratulating, Luo Ning took the child from the other old mother and held him in his arms.

The child doesn't look very good, even a little ugly.

But all babies are like this when they are born. They will be much better when they grow up.

"Have you chosen a name?"

"Not yet." Hahn shook his head.

Luo Ning smiled and said, "How about I name him?"

"Can!"

Hahn was so surprised that he was unrecognizable. "Of course!"

It was already a great honor for my child to be held in the arms of the lord, but I didn't expect that the lord would also give him a name!

If this matter were made public, the other village chiefs would probably be envious of death.

"Boy or girl?" Roning asked.

"It's a boy."

Roning handed the baby in his arms to Irene, who was eager to try to hold him for a while. He stroked his chin and thought carefully about the child's name.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Let's go to Galen."

He explained: "I have seen this name in a book, Galen, 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!"

"Galen, Galen..."

When Hahn heard the lord's words, his eyes lit up. He seemed to see his child holding a sword and riding a horse in the future, a handsome man.

"Thank you for the name, sir. I will teach him well and hope he can serve you in the future!"

Because the lord was a guest that night, the Hahn family prepared an unprecedented sumptuous dinner.

To this end, they killed chickens and ducks and went to the castle to buy two live fish.

Although the craftsmanship is not as good as Mrs. Bandler's at the beginning of the castle, they have tried their best.

In view of the host's hospitality, Luo Ning did not hesitate to eat and drink.

However, when he left, he left three gold coins, saying that it was to thank Hahn for his hospitality and as a gift to Garen.

This meal was simple for Shanlinbao, but it was too expensive for the Hahn family, and Roning didn't want his arrival to cost them money.

On his way back, Luo Ning thought, " The people's living environment is still a little poor."

Even the village chief, Hahn, frowned at the structure of their house.

Their bedrooms, kitchens, chickens, and ducks are kept in several connected rooms, and the smell is bad.

The dinner table was moved to the yard; otherwise, Roning might not have been able to eat.

"Gallon, when Wilson comes back, tell him to have the people separate the living quarters and the chicken coops when they build houses in the future."

"So they don't have to worry about theft. The territory's security will be further strengthened, the rule of law will keep up, and thieves will be severely punished."

Galen quickly wrote this matter down.

Elron said, "Sir, this matter will not be completed smoothly in the short term, right? After all, this involves the family environment of every citizen, and they don't have that much time to transform it."

"Of course, this is a long process."

Luo Ning nodded and said, "This is all the people's own business. The Lord's Mansion is just advocating and suggesting that they expand and repair their houses free of charge."

Daily hygiene may seem like a small problem, but it has a significant impact.

With a good living environment, people will be healthier, and children will grow up better.

"Elrond, I didn't expect you could deliver babies."

Luo Ning changed the subject, "When did you acquire this ability?"

Elrond was a little embarrassed. "Your Excellency misunderstood. I only used the Invigoration spell to help them give birth and the Healing spell to avoid unexpected situations such as bleeding."

"That's pretty remarkable."

Luo Ning smiled and said that reducing the risk of childbirth is not something everyone can do in this era.

It's a pity that there is only one light magician, Elrond, and he is too busy to handle so many pregnant women, so he is doomed to be unable to assist in childbirth on a large scale.

The four of them talked as they walked.

When Luo Ning learned that six newborns had been born in Shanlin Town in the past month, he implemented a fertility policy in Wubei Territory. After all, having children is also a way to increase the population.

After discussing with Elrond, Ronin preliminarily determined two policies.

The first is for pregnant women: they are exempted from labor during pregnancy and within three months after giving birth and are prohibited from participating in heavy physical labor.

Those who force pregnant women to engage in heavy physical labor, resulting in miscarriage or even death, will be given different degrees of flogging depending on the circumstances.

Secondly, if a baby is successfully born, ten trees can be cut down, and a ten-square-meter house can be built free of charge. At the same time, in the next three years, you can apply for 100 kilograms of grain reward from the lord's mansion every year in the name of the child.

Both policies are substantial and can bring real benefits to producing families.

Luo Ning believes their promulgation will bring about a positive change in fertility in Wubei Territory.

"Your Excellency has always been kind to the people in your territory."

Elron stroked his gray beard, which he had grown at some unknown time. "May the light always shine upon you and the people of Wubei Territory."

Luo Ning hadn't heard such superstitious words from the other party for a long time, and he couldn't help but smile for a moment.

He looked at Elrond's current training status. He had already improved his level to advanced magician 33/400 through his practice.

Although his speed is not slow, it will probably take him another three years to break through and become a great magician through his efforts.

Back in the castle, Elrond delivered the prepared spell scroll to Ronin's study.

"Sir, the monster leather we purchased last time has been finished. This time, the success rate has greatly improved. We failed five times in total but finally finished fifty pieces."

Roning looked at the pile of spell scrolls before him and nodded with satisfaction.

If he sold all the fifty spell scrolls, he would earn another 850 gold coins.

Although the net profit was only 355 gold coins after deducting the 495 gold coins spent on purchasing materials, this was only the profit for over one month.

Wu Beiling would have a net income of more than 2,000 gold coins if it were a year by selling healing spell scrolls.

Elrond is good at making money.

"Keep twenty spell scrolls and sell the remaining thirty."

As Roning spoke, he put the spell scrolls into his space ring.

This is a strategic material that the Ukrainian government needs to stockpile.

Ronin can also distribute these things as rewards to his knights when necessary.

"Elron, I can see your contribution to the territory, and your abilities are also very important to the Ubei Territory!"

Luo Ning looked at the light magician and said, "So this time, I decided to improve your strength."
