The Extraordinary Earl

The significance of building an industrial zone is self-evident.

A strong manufacturing industry will be the heart of a metropolis, providing a steady stream of blood for the metropolis.

The Habsburg family has many industries, mainly three, namely the manufacture of exquisite carriages, exquisite saddles, and exquisite furniture, with hundreds of employees.

These employees will use their wages to drive the prosperity of Pompeii.

The tax revenue generated by the Habsburg family factory will bring tax revenue to the Pompeii City Hall.

Of course, compared with a city with a population of more than 50,000, the energy brought by the Habsburg family is still too small. The time when Pompeii really takes off will be when the hot spring resort opens.

Not only will the resort generate profits, but the profits will be invested in the development of Pompeii. The more critical thing is how many top tycoons can come to the hot spring resort, Luther, Pompeii, and Lelouch, and how much money Bonaparte can attract from these top tycoons and invest in the development of Pompeii.

As long as there is money, Pompeii will soar.

Now Luther has won over the Habsburg family, six families, and Alice. Miss Amanda is just maintaining the current situation in Pompeii.

It is not a big development.

Good news keeps coming. After Luther sent Mrs. Smith away, he met his uncle, the contemporary Thorn Knight, Mr. Lipton Thorn, not long after.

"Luther, you have caused us a big trouble again." The knight came in a hurry and seemed to be in a bad mood. After being welcomed by Luther into the living room on the second floor of the castle, he sat down, picked up the drink on the coffee table next to him, gulped it down, and then glared at Luther.

Luther certainly didn't think that his uncle was angry, you know, this gentleman is a good man.

But Luther also knew that this matter was a bit too much for the six major families. If you use words, it should be described as bloodsucking.

"My dear uncle, how did I cause you trouble? Isn't this creating an opportunity for you to make money? As long as you can start the industry, Pompeii will not only provide you with cheap industrial land, but also give you a piece of land to develop real estate at a low price."

Luther pretended to be innocent.

The good-tempered Mr. Lipton couldn't help rolling his eyes.

You know, the six major families are living a miserable life now. In order to get 200,000 gold coins, Lipton sold several of his wife's jewelry.

Not to mention the antiques, artworks, etc. he collected before.

The current Soran family is so poor that they can be described as eating vegetables and tofu every day.

Now, in order to keep Pompeii alive, Luther used cheap land as a temptation to let them pay to start an industry.

Isn't this obviously to squeeze them dry?

They still came up eagerly. When Mr. Lipton thought of this, he couldn't help but have a toothache.

That's right, they couldn't stand the temptation and decided to do it.

The Pompeii family is a precedent. They borrowed 100,000 gold coins from Baron Barton. After playing big, Pompeii is now soaring.

If the six families want to keep up with the pace of the Pompeii family, they must be bolder.

"We have decided to do it and found a good project. The only question now is whether Amanda's father, Mr. Morgan, can provide us with a private loan?"

Mr. Lipton asked unhappily.

This is the most critical issue. If there is no money, everything will be cold. Anyway, even if Lipton is killed and the Soran family is hollowed out, there will be no more money.

Unless the castle is sold, but that is impossible.

"I have confirmed that Mr. Morgan, who is far away in the Golden City, will provide a loan of 50,000 gold coins to the six families."

Luther answered very seriously, and then couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle, what business are you going to do?"

"Weapons production." Mr. Lipton said.

"Weapons production." Luther narrowed his eyes slightly. The people of the six families were obviously not stupid, and they were all from the noble family of knight lords, so they knew more about weapons.

There are corresponding blacksmiths in each territory.

Weapon production is a highly profitable industry.

"We did a lot of analysis, but we finally found that we know nothing about other things. We only know about weapons, so let's just make weapons. And we have analyzed that if your Pompeii city is to expand, the guards will inevitably expand, and the expansion of the number of people will buy weapons from outside. We also know that the Pompeii family has liberated many serfs before, and some of the serfs' children have been blacksmith apprentices for a long time. So after the funds are in place and the factory is built, they can be recruited as workers."

Mr. Lipton put all their considerations on the table. In short, they can't do anything except weapons.

And Luther certainly knows about these, because weapon production was originally in his backup plan. Because the future of Pompeii City's weapons business will be huge.

In addition to recruiting more guards, after the Sabertooth Tiger Mercenary Group established an outpost in Pompeii, I believe that more adventurers and mercenary groups will flock to Pompeii.

They need weapons to be repaired and purchased.

Since it is a backup plan, it doesn't matter if it is used by six families now. After all, what he runs is not a business, but a territory, a metropolis.

Luther has many backup plans, and the current energy of the Pompeii family is not suitable for developing more businesses. It is better to be greedy for more titles.

Now six families can get a loan to expand the weapons business, which will bring a steady stream of tax revenue to Pompeii.

Importantly, the six families were able to supply Pompeii's guards with sophisticated weapons.

Kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Don't worry, if I have plans to expand my guards in the future, I will definitely buy weapons from you. But one thing I want to say is that the quality must be guaranteed, otherwise the deal will not be established."

Luther nodded solemnly and said, "Be a villain before being a gentleman."

"Don't worry about Luther. Although we are close partners and allies, business is business, and we will make this clear."

Mr. Lipton also expressed his thoughts on this.

Anyway, we are all allies sitting in the same boat, and we will not harm our own people.

As the conversation ended, Pompeii's expansion plan officially began.

A mulberry tree farm, a future silk production base.

A ranch, a breeding base that mainly sells purebred horses, pets, and hounds.

The Habs family's carriage, saddlery, and furniture business.

Six families of weapons factories.

If you include the Pompeii family’s Pompeii wine estate, wheat flour production workshop, rapeseed oil production workshop, a ranch that provides practical meat, etc.

There are already many industries in Pompeii.

Although it is not enough to support a metropolis, it can at least support it until the hot spring resort opens in a dozen months.

Despite my efforts to update, the data is still ugly.

I hope that heroes who have the conditions can support the subscription.

grateful.
