The Extraordinary Earl

Although Mrs. Sophie felt that there was something wrong with her family education, which caused Luther to lose his romance.

So she left a little annoyed. But eventually a maid was sent over to tell Luther that she would arrange a time for the two parties to meet.

Luther put his mother's irritation behind him and was somewhat pleased to be associated with such a wealthy and influential family as the Morgans.

Money begets money.

But there is something that makes more money.

That's connections.

Regardless of whether it is in the past life or this life, the first thing a businessman needs to do business is connections.

Doing business will always be smoother for people with connections than for people without connections.

Now that the Pompeii family has gained its reputation, there are already two to three thousand ordinary residents in Pompeii. Based on the Pompeii family's appeal, it is no longer a problem to accommodate another two to three thousand and turn it into a small town.

Then the next step is to develop Pompeii into a huge city.

A metropolis with a scale of 30,000, 50,000, or even more than 100,000.

The Pompeii family could not support a city of such a large scale. The Pompeii family needs powerful families to participate in building the city.

And based on the current relationship network of the Pompeii family, it is just seven major families. But there are six families left. It would be great if each family can provide five thousand gold coins. But what can we do if we gather thirty thousand gold coins?

Even the Morgan family like the one introduced by my mother cannot support the construction of a big city. It needs to unite other families similar to the Morgan family to support it.

If Luther wants to build a large-scale earldom in the future, it will have a population of millions like the count of Libya, and it will be a large territory with more than one city.

That requires more gold coins.

This is investment promotion.

Of course, under such circumstances, Luther also needs to support his own strength, such as uniting the seven major families. Even if these families are weak now, Luther will make them rich in this city-building plan. , to make the Pompeii family stronger.

In this plan, the Pompeii family will be the root system and trunk of the big tree, while the seven major families will be the branches.

Only when the Pompeii family is strong can it prevent other capital from becoming too strong and eventually turning against customers.

The construction of a metropolis and a large territory is definitely not just a matter of piling up bits and pieces. It also requires consideration of funds, connections, and dominance.

Consider everything from politics to business.

Luther still has a long way to go before he can become a real nobleman.

And when the Pompeii family finally grows up, it will surely be a huge family that attracts the attention of Prussia and even the whole world.

And Luther will be the leader of this powerful family, Lord Pompey.

So Luther is very much looking forward to meeting the little Miss Morgan of the Morgan family. But not before a woman who gave Luther a great headache arrived in Pompeii.

……….

On the deep forest road connecting Kaiyue City and Pompeii Territory.

Since this avenue was repaired and became smoother and wider, it has come in handy. Many traders would go to Pompeii every day before dawn and sell their goods back to the Pompeii market.

The Pompeii family also gained a certain reputation due to the existence of the clay golem, which brought some people to Pompeii.

All in all, in the past hundreds of years, this avenue was very deserted, but in Luther's hands, it gradually became much more lively.

Today there is a very luxurious team walking on this road, heading south to enter Pompeii Territory.

Most of the luxury of this team is reflected in one of the carriages. This is a golden carriage with gems inlaid on top.

The whole thing is full of the atmosphere of the nouveau riche.

Anyone with insight knows that anyone riding in a carriage like this is not short of money. So this golden appearance, except for some wooden structures that are painted with gold paint, other structures should be made of real gold.

That is to say.

Besides the wood, and besides the wheels, this was a carriage of pure gold.

The carriage was pulled by two tall white horses without any stray hairs, and there were two coachmen in front. The carriage was surrounded by four minimum knights.

These four knights are all knights of the Barton family that Luther is familiar with, and the most familiar among them is Knight Howard.

In addition, and more peripherally are a large number of guards, male and female servants.

The identity of the person in the carriage is ready to be revealed.

It was the woman who Luther had always wanted to fight, but couldn't beat and hated her so much.

Hey, I'm very horny.

You are so charming, but I can’t get it.

Serve cold.

In the carriage, Miss Alice, who made Luther hate her teeth, was lying on the leather seat in the carriage with her legs bent, and she was reading a book in her hand.

There are two rows of seats at the front and back, with a small coffee table in the middle. There are also some exquisite cookies and pastries on the small coffee table.

From time to time, Alice stretched out her fair hands with bright red nail polish to pick up a cookie and eat it, her mouth bulging like a little squirrel.

Tired from reading, Miss Alice sat up and stretched.

Her waist was very thin, a standard wasp waist, as if it could be cut off with just a little force. The breasts are very plump and spectacular. She also likes to wear tight skirts, exuding a devilish aura.

Stretching lazily at this moment is even more unique.

"I think I visited this country place once when I was a child." Miss Alice held her chin up and looked lazily at the deep forest outside the window.

Alice would never set foot in such a rural territory without a reason.

Miss Alice's purpose is simple, she has a strong interest in Luther Pompeii. Don't get me wrong, she didn't have a wonderful love for Luther.

She just became interested in Luther.

Not only the strength of Luther's junior knights who climbed Eagle Mountain, but also the Pompeii that Luther is now developing.

"This guy is very ambitious and is playing a big game. Maybe I can also have a chance to share the cake." Alice's eyes flashed with cunning.

The Baron's eldest daughter, the beautiful Miss Alice.

Rumor has it that she is a social butterfly among countless men.

Although the rumors are rumors, they are certainly not groundless. Alice is lively by nature, has many friends in the surrounding territories, and has a wide network of contacts.

Also do some business as a result.

So Alice is rich, even more than the Baron.

Of course, this is only in cash. Compared with the art and industry accumulated by the Baron family over the generations, Miss Alice's money is still far behind.

All in all, Alice is a rich, well-connected person with a certain business acumen. She noticed the changes in Pompeii and naturally wanted to get a share of it.

"First open a bar in Pompeii as a base."

Alice held up her smooth and beautiful little chin and planned.
