The Extraordinary Earl

With this autumn harvest, the prestige of Luther and Pompeii rose again. To put it bluntly, Luther's prestige in the territory has now surpassed that of the Pompeii knight of his father's generation, Old Thor.

In fact, Luther's prestige exceeded that of the Pompeii knights of all generations.

Among the Pompeii knights of the past generations, there were also excellent knights, but they were all knights with very strong combat capabilities. On the contrary, there were very few lord-type knights.

Otherwise, the Pompeii family would not have remained like this for hundreds of years.

Of course, those Pompeii knights with strong fighting power will be sung by others, but for the people of the country, although they are romantic, they have no practical significance.

But Luther was different. He significantly improved the quality of life of the free people in Pompeii.

Moreover, Luther was also eliminating another class, the slave class.

Of course, those slaves who are controlled by whips, walking like zombies, as if they are livestock, currently cannot feel the kindness of Luther and Pompeii.

These are insensitive guys.

Because they have been controlled for too long, but the children of these serfs, the next generation of teenagers, children, when they grow up, will feel the kindness of Luther Pompeii, and will be sincerely grateful.

Of course, this must be guided. This is also one of Luther's future tasks. As a qualified lord, Luther must unite people's hearts.

The core that unites people's hearts is two words, kindness.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

All in all, Luther's road to becoming a lord is still very long, especially if he aspires to become a great noble.

Everywhere in the territory is filled with the joy of harvest. Not only No. 7, but No. 1 to No. 9, plus the ten villages of Tiema Tun.

There are countless people like Asma, caught up in the carnival everywhere. While each village is working hard to harvest food, they choose to hold a banquet in the evening.

Although the dishes were not rich, and the most precious ones were sausages, bacon, and Pompeii wine, it still made the people extremely happy and intoxicated.

After the wheat is harvested, it is rough-processed and transported to the wheat flour processing factory in the territory, eventually turning into white wheat flour.

The wheat flour was divided into three parts by the farmers. One part was taxed, and the other part was eaten by themselves. The uneaten part was sold to the lords in exchange for coins, and eventually turned into various daily necessities.

The Pompeii family would transport the purchased wheat flour to Kaiyue City for sale, and also earn some money.

This was also one of the important incomes of the Pompeii family before, and it will still be one of the important incomes after the territory expands and the farmland area is increased.

Purchasing wheat flour, operating an exclusive blacksmith shop, and a grocery store, the Pompeii family used to rack their brains to generate income and maintain the family's survival. The results were still very bumpy. It was not until Old Sol married Mrs. Sophie that the situation improved slightly. .

Luther's Pompeii wine and agricultural transformation plans brought about major changes.

Life in the Pompeii family is much better now.

The joyful atmosphere of the autumn harvest is still continuing, and this atmosphere may last until next spring, or even next year.

It is conceivable that in the next year, the freedmen will have money to drink and spend money, and the economic level in the territory will rise.

This is a matter for the people, a matter of happiness.

As a lord, Luther, the Knight of Pompeii, calmed down from the joy of this year's autumn harvest and began to look to the future.

According to the plan, Luther began to build the city.

The city construction plan has been brewing for several months, and even the location of the city wall has been marked. All that is left is to purchase stones from Kaiyue City, recruit craftsmen, and build it.

But there were still some things that needed to be sorted out, so a meeting was held in the Pompeii City Hall.

The location was the conference room in the Pompeii City Hall. The person in charge of presiding over the meeting was Pompeii Mayor Lelouch. The meeting was attended by Pompeii officials, most of whom were scholars recruited together with the knights.

In addition, as the former tax officer of the territory, Teacher Qiao Xiu also attended the meeting.

Old Sol did not come, and Luther, as the next generation of Pompeii knights, was responsible for observing.

After several months of training, Lelouch became more and more capable. He even grew a beard, like the big two-stroke beard that was once popular in Europe.

It seemed funny to Luther to have such an old-fashioned beard at such a young age. But Lelouch felt very good about himself and was very energetic, but Luther couldn't say it directly.

I'm sorry.

No matter what, Lelouch's position as mayor shows a very strong aura.

"After calculation and comparison with last year's output, the grain harvested this autumn is 35% more than last year's. According to past practice, the excess grain in the hands of farmers is purchased by the family and then sold in Kaiyue City. But Because this year's population recruitment plan requires a large amount of food reserves, this batch of food will not be sold, and a granary will be built in the city for storage. "

"According to the plan, our city is circular with four city gates. A military area is set up in the area of ​​the city gate, guarded by guards and knights. In this way, the granary can be built in the military area and can be directly provided to the army. , and also has the power to defend the granary.”

"The relocation plan for the serfs will also be launched."

"in addition…….."

Lelouch raised various detailed questions and made plans one by one. Finally, Lelouch asked Luther: "Knight Luther, this is the next plan to build the city. Do you have anything to add? ?”

In private, Lelouch is called Luther, but in formal situations, Lelouch always respects Luther and calls him Knight Luther.

"The gentlemen here are all excellent, and I trust you." This was Luther's opening statement, and the effect was very good.

Not only the officials of the city hall, but also Lelouch puffed up his chest slightly and felt that it was very useful. After the opening remarks, Luther said: "There is nothing else to add, just a little. In addition to the basic survival materials that the family normally treats the original family serfs, I want to give them some more materials to supplement their nutrition and increase their You guys discuss it and list it out.”

Officials were not surprised by Luther's addition.

Luther, Pompeii.

This lord is recognized as a benevolent acting lord.

The freedmen even gave Luther a nickname.

Just like the nickname "The Executioner" earned by the cruel Marquis Parker, it has the style of this world.

Called "The Merciful One".

Why not call it Merciful Lord, Merciful Knight.

And being called the Merciful One seemed to Luther a very strange nickname.

But since everyone thought this nickname was a good word, and Luther was too embarrassed to order a change, it was decided.

The Merciful One.

Luther, Pompeii.

The meeting ended quickly. The construction of the city was no longer a plan, but a task to be executed. The Pompeii family took another important step.

Built the city.
