The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 49 Construction of the City

Putting aside the two little girls at home for the time being, Luther's job is not to be a brother, but to be the heir of a lord.

The next generation of Pompeii knights, the Baron of Pompeii, the Count of Pompeii.

So after training, Luther's work is still on construction issues in the territory.

Of course, Luther did not personally coordinate, he just assisted and occasionally interjected a few words. Because the mayor of Pompeii is Lelouch.

He is the chief planner and does not have to do it himself.

It will take some time for Stony, Pompeii and others to successfully bring in the population, so the current job is to build the city. After a period of coordination.

Lelouch began the work of repairing the city wall.

Repairing the city wall is not a simple job, it is a very complex job. The first is to delineate the area of ​​the city wall, and the second is to involve the type, height, and thickness of the city wall.

Today is still a sunny day. The hot summer weather makes the surrounding temperature very high. It even looks like the space is distorted to the naked eye.

Luther and Lelouch were standing on a farmland, surrounded by green wheat. Their entourage also included the squire knight Shushua and a group of guards.

Because they came on horseback, the guards were watching over the horses to prevent them from trampling on the farmland.

Lelouch and Luther both wore hats. Although it didn't have much effect, it still brought some coolness.

There was another drawing in Lelouch's hand. It was a plan, with a city-like building sitting on it, in a circular shape.

There are four city gates, and watchtowers and arrow towers are also arranged on the city walls. They are extremely densely distributed, showing that this is a city with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The area is not too large. It is mainly the farmland directly belonging to the Pompeii family within the current Pompeii territory, centered on Pompeii Castle, and radiating out, which is about one-third of the territory.

Next year, all the serfs within the city walls will migrate out, and together with the 10,000 new people, they will cut down the forest and increase the area of ​​Pompeii territory.

Residential areas, commercial streets, schools, military areas and other buildings will be designed in the city.

The key thing is that all the land in the city belongs to the Pompeii family. When Pompeii city expands in the future and attracts a large number of people to live there, whether it is real estate or being a charterer, it will be a huge income.

The key is to make the industry bigger.

Of course, what we are considering now is building a city wall, not real estate.

Lelouch pointed at the drawing and said: "I have calculated that the city wall is ten meters high and five meters thick. The required stones can be purchased in Kaiyue City. At the same time, a large number of masons, workers, etc. are needed. The total cost is five thousand About gold coins. Of course, the Pompeii family will definitely not be able to afford so many gold coins now, so I think we can wait for a while until the income from Pompeii wine starts to come in and the funds are abundant. By the way, the stone materials are also available. You can buy in batches, which will ease the financial pressure.”

Luther nodded and looked up at the nearby farmland. If the city wall is designed according to this design, then this piece of farmland will be the foundation for building the city wall.

The wheat in the farmland grows so well, it would be a pity to destroy it. It’s not too late to start construction again after the autumn harvest.

As for the five thousand gold coins, Luther didn't care at all. He couldn't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

You can only do business if you have a basic education.

Besides, the income from Pompeii Wine is so high now, and the monthly sales are increasing, so it should be no problem to pay five thousand gold coins.

Even if there is a problem, you can ask dad to borrow money.

Anyway, borrowing once is still borrowing, and borrowing twice is still borrowing.

Borrowing money to start a business is the most exciting thing.

At this time, Lelouch remembered something and put the drawing on the ground without being too dirty. Then he pointed to the location of the city gates on the four walls and said: "By the way. Regarding various constructions in the city, I don't have any specific plans yet. Let's build the city walls first. But one thing must be built first. This is the military area. Here , here, here, here, near these four city walls, four military areas must be established to provide housing for the guards. They can quickly support the defense of the city walls in wartime, and can also be responsible for guarding, patrolling, training, etc. in peacetime. "

Having said this, Lelouch raised his eyes and looked at Luther and said, "And this extends to another problem. For such a large city, you need at least 500 guards for defense. This is the most basic and cannot be less."

"In other words, I have to select 500 guards from the 10,000 people I brought here plus the 2,000 people in the territory to provide food, weapons, armor, and military training. This is another big task. money.”

Luther rubbed his temples, feeling like his body was being hollowed out.

Even though the current income from Pompeii Wine is very good, it cannot afford such expenses.

Building a city is indeed not a simple matter. For example, the Barton family's Kaiyue City has gone through the construction of countless generations of barons before it reached its current scale.

Tall buildings rise from the ground.

Now Luther relies on the advantage that he can make money, and the cattle farming plan he created can greatly promote agricultural development and introduce population.

If you don't have some wrists, it really won't work.

Finances are a bit tight, but there is a city, a population, and knights, but there are no corresponding guards. This is not in line with the equipment of a city.

After thinking about it, Luther gritted his teeth and said, "Gold coins are like the grooves on a woman's breasts. If you squeeze them, there will always be holes. I will find a way to do this."

Lelouch felt very strange about Luther's statement. But when I think about it, it really makes sense, those women who are all dressed up in fancy clothes.

The large white area in front of him was often exposed, and he tried his best to reveal the ditch.

In all his life, Lelouch has never seen a woman without a ditch.

But Lelouch suddenly smiled and said: "Little Luther, I heard that you are still a virgin. Do you know what a woman's vagina feels like?"

Luther became a little angry and rolled his eyes: "Who said that? I have a lot of experience."

I muttered in my heart.

"Does watching porn mean I have a lot of experience? I've seen a lot of women's vaginas."

Immediately, Luther thought again.

"Ruth needs to work harder. Although she cannot marry her, it is good to develop a special relationship that transcends the relationship between men and women. The most important thing is to be a virgin."

"How can I, Luther, Pompey, the next generation of knights be a virgin?"

It’s also good to talk about these leisure things after work. Time passed quickly, and Luther returned to Pompeii Castle with Lelouch, Shushua, and the guards.

Everything is just talk now, and it will have to be implemented after the autumn harvest.

This year’s autumn harvest will definitely be a fruitful one.

Luther thought of his method of manure fertilization and became very confident.

The territory will get better and better. When the farmland in the territory expands next year, agriculture will flourish. However, because it is tax-free for one year, the tax will not be collected until the next year.

But in short, the financial situation will get better and better.

The Pompeii family will become richer and richer.
