The Extraordinary Earl

"Luther, my teacher is teaching "Wall Rhapsody" recently. The teacher said that this piano piece is not complicated. My classmates all learned it quickly, but I can't learn it. I'm a little sad."

Pompeii Castle, Luther's study. Luther was wearing a white shirt with two buttons open at the collar. He was sitting gently leaning against the back of the chair, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand.

The window in the study room was opened, and the autumn breeze entered the study room with a little coolness. But the heat in the south is really hot, even in autumn.

Maybe you can feel the coolness only in late autumn.

The letter was sent by Miss Ruth, and the two of them have continued to exchange letters.

It can be seen that Miss Ruth was still nervous when she wrote her first letter. After all, at that time, Luther's relationship with her was just a dance.

She is a descendant of a noble, and has the status of a noble, but does not own a castle. In fact, her family is in business.

Luther was a real nobleman who owned territory and castles.

Miss Ruth will not forget that that night, the Pompeian knight Thor, Pompey just invited some people to attend the ball of his son Luther Pompey.

But there are countless girls who enter the ball through various relationships with only one purpose: to unseat the next generation of Pompeii's knights.

She was very surprised when Luther chose her to dance. But after that, Luther only communicated with some other noble young men and turned a blind eye to the Yingying Yanyan present.

It proves that this next generation knight of Pompeii actually has no intention of marrying a wife.

But Miss Ruth was very unwilling, so before leaving, she mustered up the courage to see Luther, hoping to maintain correspondence with Luther.

Unexpectedly, Luther actually agreed.

Miss Ruth at that time should have been pleasantly surprised.

All in all, this young lady from a descendant of a noble family felt a little inferior in front of Luther because of the difference in status. However, with the exchange of letters, the communication between the two became smoother and smoother.

Just like this letter, in addition to writing some trivial things in life, Miss Ruth also wrote some love words at the end for the first time.

Luther found it quite novel and exciting, because in Luther's previous life, due to various reasons, he really couldn't find an ideal and satisfactory girlfriend.

Let alone a young girl writing a love letter to him.

"I have been exchanging letters with Miss Ruth for a long time. Now that autumn is here, it seems that our relationship should take a further step."

Luther felt a little itchy and unbearable.

Although he didn't want to get married immediately and tie up his aristocratic life. Because he will embrace countless beauties in the rest of his life.

The Miss Ruth in front of him seemed to Luther to be one of them.

"Autumn is here, and the prey in the forest has been fattened and ready for the winter. This is a good time for hunting. If Miss Ruth feels sad, come to Pompeii and hunt with me."

Luther put down Miss Ruth's letter and began to write. After writing this paragraph, Luther felt that he should also reply with some love words, but Luther really couldn't write it, so he thought about it, stood up from the chair, went to the bookcase, and selected a novel about knights and princesses.

I intercepted a love story in it and copied and pasted it.

Hoho, perfect!

After Luther read it, he couldn't help laughing.

After writing the letter, Luther put the letter aside and prepared to have someone take it to Miss Ruth. Immediately, Luther stretched and came to the window, standing on a high place and looking into the distance.

Today is a nice sunny day and a good day for agricultural activities.

After sowing in spring and caring in summer, it’s time to harvest the fruits in autumn. I saw that the farmland in Pompeii was golden as far as the eye could see.

Farmers hold sickles and harvest wheat in the fields, despite the scorching heat and sweat.

This scenery can be painted.

Luther was a man who had great ideas and could do whatever he wanted. Therefore, Luther quickly left the study room, pulled Teacher Qiao Xiu out in class, and came to his study room.

Teacher Qiao Xiu is not only a scholar, but also a painter.

However, it is said that Teacher Qiao Xiu claims that his painting is very poor and it is difficult to create a transformation, so Luther does not know what this teacher's painting is like.

"Luther, you brought me out of class just to show me the wheat fields?" Teacher Qiao Xiu stood in front of the window with Luther with a confused look on his face.

"No, what I'm looking at is not the wheat field, but the gold. Oh, no. It's the happiness of the farmers' harvest." Luther almost let it slip. In front of the great lord, farmland is actually gold.

However, Luther's words seemed too utilitarian, so Luther changed his rhetoric.

As an artist, Teacher Qiao Xiu and Acting Lord Knight Luther have different brain circuits. After hearing what Luther said, Teacher Qiao Xiu looked at it carefully, then held his chin and said seriously: "I usually don't feel anything. , because I have seen this scene for many years, but after Luther said it, it really has an indescribable charm. It is because of the great farmers that we have food to eat. "

Luther felt ashamed after hearing this, and then said decisively: "So, I think I should paint this scene and hang it in the hall of the castle so that future generations of the Pompeii family will remember this scene."

"It's a very good idea." Teacher Qiao Xiu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly showed an eagerness to try, and then he really couldn't help but get a brush and paper.

Soon after, Luther's study room was occupied by Teacher Qiao Xiu. A few days later, a very pastoral oil painting appeared in the hall of Pompeii Castle.

It's wonderful.

And whether it was Miss Ruth's letter or Teacher Qiao Xiu's words, they were really just small episodes. In this autumn harvest atmosphere, it is really insignificant.

For all Pompeii was thrown into joy and into a frenzy.

Good harvest!

A good harvest is certainly a cause for joy, but a great harvest can send the entire population into a frenzy. It was not only the free folk who were fanatical, but also the serfs.

Because the city hall has already publicized that the serfs' food this year will be handed over to the Pompeii family, which is the same as the original serfs' rules.

But next year, serfs can also open up wasteland and become free people.

It was enough for the free people to hand over a batch of grain to the lord during the autumn harvest, and they would draw a commission based on the output. This was taxation.

And the more food you harvest, the more taxes you will receive.

However, free people will not dislike high taxes. They are eager for more taxes. It is best to pay a tax of 10,000 catties per acre.

And this time of great harvest is the time of great tax payment.

Because this year's harvest is 30% more than in previous years.

Fertilizing the fields with manure worked, and the Lutheran knights were agricultural geniuses.
