Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 114 Changes in Pompeii

However, the two of them stopped the topic in a tacit understanding. Luther took out a chair from under the desk and sat down, then asked, "How is the situation in Pompeii now?"

"Can't you see the situation in Pompeii? How many people are there on the street?" Lelouch couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

This is the biggest and most fundamental reason.

There are no residents.

You are blind.

As close partners, only a few people like Lu Luxiu would hate Luther like this.

"Of course I can see it." Luther also rolled his eyes, and then said: "But I want to learn more about the work of the city hall."

Lu Luxiu sighed, and sat down on his seat of mayor again.With my hands crossed on the desk, I said in a helpless tone: "I have also done a lot of work in recruiting residents. For example, the low housing prices in Pompeii are used to attract residents to move in. It doesn't matter if the house is sold at a low price, as long as If you attract residents to live here, you can earn back through taxation. But the problem is that in the past few months, we have only recruited a dozen households, and most of them are unwilling to come.”

Luther roughly understood and guessed why the residents were unwilling to come, but he still asked, "Why didn't anyone come?"

"One." Lu Luxiu stretched out a finger, and said: "The Pompeii leader is a knight leader, which would be questioned by the residents. What's more, Pompeii is close to the forest and faces the threat of monsters. A knight lord, How much power is there to defend the territory? Residents doubt that their property and lives will be threatened."

Luther nodded, this is indeed a dead spot.

A knight lord is generally equal to being weak.

And this is different from Luther's attracting farmers. The farmers in the Marquis of Parker's territory have lost their land and are homeless. They can only take risks.

And the residents are clearly unwilling to take the risk.

"Two." At this time, Lu Luxiu stretched out two fingers, and then said: "Pompeii is a newly built city, and there is no other output in the territory except agriculture. The residents obviously need to work, weaving, Logging, mining, even catering, etc. What do the residents do after they come? This is where they are confused."

Luther also sighed. The first one is the prestige issue, and the second one is a very helpless reason. A newly built city has a small industry around it.

How to attract residents?

It is obviously not enough to use low housing prices as bargaining chips.

A city needs many, many jobs.

For example, a family has parents, wife, and children.

The father can be an intellectual, work in a school in the city, and earn public money.

The mother can be a handicraft worker, doing some work within her ability.

The wife can do employment and help with cleaning.

You can be a senior manager of a factory or workshop.Son, children are still in school.

For the residents, Pompeii was primarily about providing these jobs.

At present, the public positions in Pompeii are monopolized by the knights and scholars recruited by Luther, and there is no shadow of the school.

There are various factories, such as Pompeii wine estates, pastures, etc., but the scale is not large, and they are currently recruited from the Pompeii aborigines.

What are the residents going to do here?
"The second problem is very complicated. Let me come up with some ideas, but it will take time. Let's solve the first problem first."

Luther rubbed his temples and said helplessly.

"I think so too." Lu Luxiu showed a puzzled smile on his face, then he picked up a few documents on the desk, took out one of them and handed it to Luther, saying, "I think our The thinking should be the same."

Luther took the document and looked at it, and was immediately happy.

The thoughts of the two people were exactly the same.

This document records the list of bandits, bandits and bandits who are currently active in the entire Orange Province.

The world is very complicated, and the Kingdom of Prussia is not stable.

First of all, the court nobles with the king of Prussia as the core, and the king's vassals in name with the nobles as the core, these are two faintly confronting forces.

Among them is the "New Party" that advocates the enjoyment of rights by the people and hopes to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy. The strength of the New Party cannot be ignored.

Even though Orange is still stable now, maybe the power of the new party has infiltrated many places, such as recruiting knights and disguising themselves as thieves.

What's more, there are already many thieves in Orange.

This is the reason why there are twenty or thirty hereditary lords in a province.Although the various lords have their own armed forces, there will be places where the jurisdiction is irrelevant.

Bandits and bandits are easy to breed in these places.

These bandits and bandits, if they are milder, will make a living by collecting protection fees from passing caravans.The worse ones would rob caravans and even attack towns.

The places they occupy are often very dangerous places and are not easy to capture.And the lords didn't want to consume their knight power in order to deal with these bandits and bandits.

This leads to rampant evil.

Some thieves were on the most wanted list in Orange Province, and they were very vicious.

Not to mention the lone bandit, the bandit Kurd who was born in Pompeii is one of the best.There are really many such thieves in Orange.

The purpose of Luther and Lu Luxiu was to take these bandits and bandits, as well as lone thieves.Show off your strength.

Since the residents are afraid that the Pompeii collar is too weak to protect their property and life safety, they will show force to reassure the residents.

Moreover, after beheading the bandit, the bandit can still go to the governor of the province, the earl of Libya, to receive the reward, which is more cost-effective than buying and selling.

"Crack." Lu Luxiu patted his palm, and then with a happy smile on his face, he said, "The problem now is that apart from the lone bandit, none of these bandits is something we can deal with."

Luther looked at the list on the document, shrugged, and then returned to the table.

Indeed, as Lu Luxiu said, those powerful thieves cannot be dealt with by Luther.

Nima's.

The scale of these thieves group is very large, not counting Luo Luo, there are at least 40 to [-] light knights, and the proportion of intermediate knights and even senior knights is not low.

no way.If it weren't for their outstanding combat power, these bandits would have been wiped out by the lords long ago.Those who survived were all strong.

And it will get stronger and stronger.

Just like a lord manages a territory, the thieves rely on robbery, not only to survive, but occasionally to make a ticket to grab countless gold coins, buy potions to improve their strength, isn't it very happy?
Robbery is also a promising career.

By exterminating these thieves to show your force, maybe these thieves will teach you how to behave every second.

Sad reminder!
