Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 10 Plan B
Finally, this conversation with the bull's-eye was over, and Luther breathed a sigh of relief. He was so tired and heartbroken.

With a happy mood, Luther told Old Sol about his plan.

It is the three points, building roads, fertilizing fields, and plowing fields with oxen.

Luther finished speaking quickly, and explained the reasoning of it by the way, speaking as plainly as possible.So that this native father can believe it.

But the effect was not very good, Old Sol was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Well, let me stroke it out.

Old Sol was stunned, trying to turn his head around.The eldest son of the knight, who is less talented than him, but has the determination to develop the territory.

The roads in the territory are not easy to walk, this old Sol knows it.But old Sol was not willing to spend money to build roads. Anyway, Pompeii collar did not have any special products, and naturally there was no large caravan coming.

The road is built, there is a fart.

Thinking about it this way, the bumps don't matter at all.

But if the road near the castle is not smooth, it will affect the face of the Pompeii family. All the old Sol made the road near the castle very smooth, and did not care about other places.

This kid Luther didn't know if his brain had a convulsion, but he actually wanted to build the road.

Old Sol made a cross in his heart and decided to dismiss this first.

The next step is to fertilize the fields with manure, which doesn't make sense.Old Sol is a powerful knight with amazing combat power. He really doesn't have much ability in economy, agriculture, and territorial development.

But old Sol still has some basic common sense. Is there a book in this world that says to use manure to fertilize the fields?

Anyway, Old Saul didn't know about it.

And when I think about putting manure in the field, and then planting grains such as wheat and soybeans, I feel disgusting.

So, Old Sol made another cross in his heart and decided to reject it.

The last is to use cattle to plow the fields, which is simply a fantasy.

A horse can pull a cart, but how can an ox plow the field?

Can cows use hoes?

Old Sol couldn't imagine how an ox would look like holding a hoe in its front hooves and standing upright in its hind hooves, plowing the field while drinking ale.

That picture is really disgusting.

Old Sol made another cross in his heart and rejected it again.

So, Old Sol raised his head and took a look at this weird eldest son. This kid still looked expectant, it didn't work at all, shit didn't work.

So, Old Sol said in a very serious tone: "Luther, I think you are too idle to stay in the territory, and you tend to think wildly. It is necessary to send you to the capital to join the Knights and conduct military training."

Yes, although not directly rejected.

But it’s actually the same as rejection.

I want to develop my territory, increase my income, buy potions, become stronger, harden, cough, all in all, I want to become a man of great nobles.

How can you go to the capital to join some shit knight order and be a big soldier?
Never do it.

"Father, I also feel that I am thinking wildly. I will definitely reflect on it. As for joining the Royal Capital Knights, let me think about it."

Speaking of this, Luther immediately ran away, and this country bumpkin father is hopeless.

Fortunately, I have a plan B.

You can't rely on your father, you have to rely on your stepmother.

"Luther, Luther." Old Sol yelled twice, with dissatisfaction on his face. He regretted it a bit. After his son became a junior knight, did he relax too much in his son's education?
Luther didn't care what his father thought. After leaving his father's study, Luther went to the second floor and found Mrs. Sophie's study by familiarity.

Mrs. Sophie is a very capable woman. She not only handles the affairs of the castle in an orderly manner, she also takes out her private money to do some business.

The business is not big, but it can make some money.

This is very precious to the current weak Pompeii collar.

So Madame Sophie has her own study in the castle.

Madam Sophie's study room is completely different from the old Sol's study room. There is only a desk and a chair in the study room. Besides the writing tools, there is also a pot of flowers on the desk.

On the opposite wall, there is an oil painting that Mrs. Sophie likes.

Madam Sophie's taste is much more elegant than that of old Sol.

Madame Sophie was buried in her desk, reconciling the ledger.Hearing the sound of footsteps, she put down the account book and looked up, seeing that it was Luther, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Luther, didn't you go to inspect the territory? Why are you back?"

Madame Sophie's voice was as gentle as her smile.

Unlike dealing with old Sol, after Luther came to the study, he bowed deeply and pleaded, "Mom, I want to borrow money from you."

Madam Sophie showed surprise on her delicate face. To be honest, as a stepmother, Madam Sophie felt that she had worked very hard.

When she married, Luther was still a little bean, full of vigilance and rejection of her as a stepmother.

If this matter were placed on an ordinary woman, it would be considered that this cheap son was not abused.Generally, they don't treat Luther too well.

But Mrs. Sophie is a very gentle and kind woman. She sympathizes with Luther who lost his mother at a young age.He treats Luther as his own, and loves him in every possible way.

Dedication is rewarded. From Luther's respectful attitude towards her over the years, it can be seen that the relationship between mother and child is very harmonious.

And Luther has a very good personality and is very self-disciplined. Except for some trivial things in life, he basically didn't bother her.

Not to mention borrowing money.

As the eldest son of the lord's family, he has been living and growing up in the castle.

What do you need money for?
Mrs. Sophie's first thought was that Luther was in love, which makes sense.When a young master who came from clothes to eat and opened his mouth wanted money, it was usually for women.

But Mrs. Sophie quickly gave up this idea, because there were no other nobles in this huge territory.

Generally, the girls who are worth Luther's money should be noble ladies.Because the daughters of civilians, especially the girls in Pompeii, if Luther took a fancy to them, the other party would happily climb onto Luther's bed.

Only when facing a noble lady, does Master Luther need to spend money to buy gifts, create romance and so on.

In other words, Luther did not borrow money to make women happy.

What is that for?
As an extremely dedicated stepmother, Mrs. Sophie suddenly became serious.

"Luther, tell me your reasons. If you can't convince Mom, then you don't even want to get even a copper coin from Mom."

Madam Sophie said seriously.

So, Luther took a deep breath, and told Mrs. Sophie again about old Solti's plan to build the territory.

To be honest, Luther was still a little apprehensive.

Although this stepmother looks more reliable and softer than old Sol.

But if you can't convince successfully, it will be very bad.

Are you going to take a loan and build a territory?

By the way, is there a bank in this world?Do you support loans for minors?

Maybe not.
