The Extraordinary Earl

Luther and his group made a lot of noise, and soon attracted the attention of the knights who were training in the open space outside the village.

This knight is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, a casual smile, and a tall and strong figure, making him look very majestic.

He is the Knight of Michel.

Born in one of the six major knight lord families, he had been making a living in a remote barony in the Orange Province before he went to Pompeii.

Life is still so-so, and the knight can find a job as a caretaker no matter where he is, and he can survive well.

But making a living outside is not as good as coming back to your hometown. So after receiving the letter from his family, Knight Michel immediately returned to Baron Baron and became one of the guard knights under the Pompeii family.

Ability.

I can only say mediocre.

Knight Michel has reached middle age, but he is still a junior knight, and he is also mediocre among junior knights.

It is estimated that Knight Michel will never reach the intermediate level in this life. But he also has advantages, he is meticulous and very steady.

Families of small knight lords like the Pompeii family and people like the Knight Michel were the mainstay. Because he was meticulous in his work, Luther gave him the job of temporarily guarding Pompeii Village No. 1 and training the militia.

"Disband on the spot, go get tools, help cut down the forest and open up fields." Knight Michel ordered the militia to disband on the spot, and then trotted all the way to greet Luther.

"Knight Luther."

Knight Michel put his right hand on his chest and bent down to perform a courtesy.

"It's not a big deal. Pompeii Village No. 1 has been built. As the acting lord, I want to come and take a look at this village." Luther waved his hand, turned over and dismounted.

At this time, Xiu Xiuya and another knight also dismounted. The guards took the initiative to grab the reins and control the horses.

That's right, Luther came here this time for this simple, but not simple purpose.

Take a look at your own village.

Simple right? Of course it’s simple, just walk around and take a look.

But it's not simple.

As a qualified lord, Luther must know his territory well. What's more, this is the first step in Luther's development plan. The first of twenty villages to be built, Luther of course wants to come and see it.

By the way, after these days. Some more civilians were brought back, and Pompeii villages No. 2 to No. 4 are currently being built.

These villages are relatively far apart. At present, they are like islands, inserted deep in the forest, but when the forest is cleared, they will be connected together.

At present, Luther is quite satisfied with the progress of the work in the territory.

"How are the training of these militiamen?" After Luther briefly explained his purpose, he got to the point and asked.

See and understand, not just talk.

"It's okay. Years of hard work has given the militiamen a very strong physique. They can use bows, arrows, swords, spears, etc. fairly well, but they are still far from being elite. If there is a war, they can only rely on the village for barely defense. After all, it is a hastily organized militia."

Knight Michel explained meticulously.

No excuses, no excuses. In his eyes, this militia was really just a mob. Knight Michel is such an upright and serious knight.

"Whatever happens, I'll be satisfied if I can rely on the village for defense and wait for reinforcements. I don't expect them to become an elite army."

Luther said he was satisfied.

As for the militia, you don't have to worry too much about combat effectiveness, as long as you have a basic level.

After a brief conversation with Knight Miche about the militia, Luther began to enter the village. Only the elderly and children were left in the village.

Of course, those children did not dare to get close, as if Luther was a wild beast, they hid far away. But he couldn't help but watch curiously, leaning against the corner and secretly sticking out his little head.

Some old people came to see Luther and were very humble.

Luther's attitude was of course also kind. He asked the guards to distribute some wheat cakes and some ale to the old people, and asked about life in the village.

I'm very satisfied with the result. I don't know how things will turn out, but I can still live and work in peace and contentment. The people now have food and drink, and deforestation is in full swing.

After chatting for a while, the old people became bolder.

One of the old men asked Luther: "Knight Luther, I heard that the field we want to cultivate is very large and cannot be taken care of by manpower. I also heard that in Pompeii, there is a tool called a plow. , you can let the cattle help plow the fields, I don’t know, this plowing cattle?”

Other old people also pricked up their ears, this is something that everyone is concerned about.

There is no wall in the world that is impermeable to wind. Besides, Pompeii Village No. 1 is also a village under Pompeii's leadership. Of course, the wind also comes here.

When the old people heard that cattle could help plow their fields, they were curious, excited, and eager.

There is nothing to hide about this matter. Anyway, we must be fully prepared before spring plowing next spring. Saying it now can stabilize people's hearts.

Luther then smiled and said: "Yes, I will prepare the plows and oxen before next spring plowing, but there is one thing I must say first, because the Bass oxen are very precious, so they cannot be provided to you for free. I'll lend it to you temporarily. After the autumn harvest, you have to work together to buy the cattle."

It's not that Luther is stingy, but that cow is really expensive.

Isn’t developing territory just for money?

Some farm tools are not worth a lot of money, but Bass cattle are such precious things. Farmers must pool their money to buy the cattle after a good harvest.

Not provided free of charge.

Anyway, because cattle plow the fields, the land that farmers can cultivate has greatly increased, and they can definitely afford Bass cattle.

"Knight Luther can rest assured that we will be satisfied if the Bass cattle can be lent to us for one year. With the help of the Bass cattle, we can take care of more fields. It will not be a problem to buy the cattle next fall."

The old man quickly patted his chest and promised.

The other old people also had smiles on their faces and looked forward to the future.

The feeling of gold coins is just that I can eat and drink enough here and feel stable. But their feelings were deeper because they saw the future.

This kind of future cannot be seen in Parkland.

The "executioner" Marquis Parker was so cruel that he wished he could put all the gold, silver and copper coins in his territory into his wallet.

It was so right to come to Pompeii.

"By the way, in addition, don't urinate and defecate casually, and you must continue to clean up livestock feces on the road regularly. If you violate it, I will punish you."

Luther reminded him when he thought of this.

In fact, Luther had already seen it along the way. The road was clean and there were very few things like feces. It should be that officials from the city hall have told the people about this before.

But in order not to let the people relax, Luther mentioned it again.

"Knight Luther, please rest assured, we will abide by this." The old people said quickly.

Although the excrement fertilization field is strange, and it is strange not to defecate openly, but compared with the current stable life in Pompeii territory, this is a small matter.

Definitely comply.
