The Extraordinary Earl

"Sophie, what does this mean?" Old Sol had recovered by now. After all, he was a physically strong knight, and this little bit of alcohol could not intoxicate him.

Although he did not know how to manage a territory or do business, he was very smart. He immediately grasped the key words and asked with his ears pricked up.

"That is to say, the Pompeii family may become a wine-making family. Just like those nobles who run famous wine estates."

Mrs. Sophie smiled at Old Sol, then turned back to look at Luther, her eyes a little blurred.

She really couldn't understand this son more and more. He was involved in agriculture and even had a set of winemaking. Could it be that the Pompeii family was going to rise?

It was a very difficult thing for the nobles to rise.

Especially for a knight noble family like the Pompeii family, they belonged to the bottom of the nobility. In terms of strength, reputation, and bloodline, the Pompeii family was far behind.

But if they could make a big splash in the winemaking business. Maybe the Pompeii family would be different.

Mrs. Sophie was very happy. On the one hand, she treated Luther as her own son. Besides, if Luther could become a baron.

Mrs. Sophie thinks that Luther should be the best he can be if he becomes a baron.

After all, it is too difficult for nobles to advance in this world. If Luther can become a baron, then her son William may also be able to be named a knight lord and become a vassal under Luther.

This is also a great temptation.

After all, if the Pompeii family remains the same, after the death of old Sol, the Pompeii family will be handed over to Luther, and Luther will be the next generation of Pompeii.

And William can only have the surname of Pompeii, becoming a descendant of aristocrats with aristocratic bloodline but no aristocratic title or fiefdom.

And Luther can become a baron.

Mrs. Sophie's pretty face became more and more rosy. I don't know if it was because of excitement or because of drinking this strong liquor.

"Famous wine estate?" Old Sol stood up suddenly and looked at Mrs. Sophie in disbelief. Old Sol certainly knew what a famous wine estate meant.

That means a steady stream of wealth.

Wealth is too important for the Pompeii family.

Mrs. Sophie nodded to Old Sol and gave him an affirmative look. Old Sol did not calm down, but his breathing became a little faster.

Then Old Sol looked at Mrs. Sophie, and then at Luther, with an unprecedented serious expression.

This is a major event concerning the future of the Pompeii family.

Even in Old Sol's heart, this is more important than the plow invented by Luther. After all, the profit from farming is limited, while the winemaking business is huge.

But Old Sol did not interrupt casually, because Old Sol did not know how to do business, and he was still self-aware of this.

"Luther, what is the cost of this wine? How do you plan to sell it and how to position it?" Mrs. Sophie pondered for a moment, then raised her head and asked Luther.

The wine is of course good wine, an unprecedented new wine.

But having good wine is not enough, it also needs proper management.

But the wine was invented by Luther. Although Luther is a member of the Pompeii family, public and private affairs must be separated. Mrs. Sophie, Old Sol will not take Luther's money.

The wine can be handed over to Luther to run himself, and the money earned can go into Luther's own treasury.

However, because this matter is too big, Mrs. Sophie couldn't help asking, and rolled up her sleeves, intending to be a consultant for Luther.

Born in a merchant family, Mrs. Sophie is not an excellent business woman, but she is definitely qualified.

Mrs. Sophie is more confident about this.

Of course, Luther understood the meaning of Mrs. Sophie's words. Luther pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said: "Mom, let you run this wine. Leave part of the money to buy potions for me, leave part for the family, and store part, and wait for an opportunity to recruit wandering knights to expand the combat power of the Pompeii family."

At this point, Luther spread his hands to Mrs. Sophie and said helplessly: "After all, I am not a material for doing business, and although this wine is brewed by me, I know nothing about the price of wheat, so the cost of this wine is also confused."

This is a fact. Luther came up with the idea of ​​distilled liquor and put it into action.

And the brewing was all done by Niu Jin. I don't know how much this wine costs.

I still don't know how to position it and how to set it.

Luther is not the smartest person, but he is generally smart. Professional matters should be handled by professionals, and he believes that Mrs. Sophie will not take his money.

Moreover, the reason why Luther runs the territory and the industry is to pave the way for his own knighthood. So Luther chose Lelouch as the mayor of Pompeii.

It is only natural to hand over the business of distilled liquor to Mrs. Sophie now.

In this way, he will have more time to train as a knight.

Lay a good foundation, wait for the sales of distilled liquor to be spread out, wait for the tax revenue of the territory to come up, and have the magic potion, his knighthood will definitely be qualitatively improved.

Mrs. Sophie was a little surprised after hearing this, and more pleasantly surprised. There is a feeling of being a daughter-in-law for many years and finally becoming a mother-in-law, and what she feels is a strong sense of trust.

OK, it's not in vain to love this son.

"Okay, leave it to me." Mrs. Sophie was radiant and had an impulse to do a big job.

At this time, Old Sol said beside him: "Does this wine have a name?"

"No." The building was tilted. Luther was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. This thing is called distilled liquor, but it doesn’t sound very good.

"Then let's call it Pompeii wine." Old Sol waved his hand and decided.

This is how Pompeii wine, the flagship industry of the Pompeii family, was born.

Luther will have nothing to do next. He only needs to wait for the business to expand, and a steady stream of gold coins will come in to buy magic potions, and his drug consumption will soar.

So Luther said goodbye and left. He had not trained as a knight for several days and was a bit slack. There is a Chinese saying that goes well. Practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

In Luther's opinion, knight training is no different from practicing martial arts.

The legendary powerful knight can fly.

It seems a little cooler than the light skill of flying over the wall.

After Luther left, Old Saul waved his hand and asked all the male and female servants present to leave, leaving only Mrs. Sophie and the old housekeeper.

Old Sol showed the majesty of the head of the family. Coupled with his resolute appearance and golden hair, he was very imposing.

Subconsciously, the old housekeeper Feren and Mrs. Sophie became serious.

"I think the Pompeii family should hold a banquet." Old Sol said.

Unexpectedly, Old Sol would suddenly say such a thing at this time. Feren and Mrs. Sophie were both stunned, but then they realized what was happening, with understanding smiles on their faces.

"Our Pompeii family's heir is so outstanding, it is necessary for us to select an excellent Pompeii family hostess from the nearby noble families. So, let's hold a banquet."

Old Sol said.

Among old Sol, the old housekeeper of Feren, Mrs. Sophie, and even among the people of the entire Pompeii territory, Luther was an excellent heir.

And what could be more important than finding an excellent wife for this excellent heir and giving birth to a better third generation of Pompeii?

Luther was sixteen years old.
