Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 12 Hi, My Pompeii

"Hey, I'm back."

Pompeii is very remote, very remote country.Surrounded by forests, there is only one road leading to the north.

Unlike the appalling rural roads in the territory, the Pompeii Territory officials are responsible for maintenance and repairs of this road, and the road is very smooth.

Can accommodate three carriages in parallel.

However, there are not many people who enter and leave Pompeii on a daily basis. Most of the time, only Pompeii is directly under the lord's procurement team, purchasing daily necessities such as daily necessities such as daily necessities.

At this moment, there was a young man riding a pony, slowly heading towards Pompeii.

The young man's appearance is very ordinary, his body is very slender, he wears tight clothes, and he dresses himself meticulously.

There was a crossed sword stuck in his waist, and two suitcases were carried on the back of the pony, dressed as a standard traveler.

The young man's face was a little depressed. He looked at the forests on both sides of the road. At the time of Dongchun, the old leaves on the trees had fallen and turned into soil.The new shoots are tender enough to squeeze out water.

Just like three years ago, when I left.

"Hey, I, Lu Luxiu, not only didn't make a name for myself outside, but I'm back again." The young man let out a long sigh, and the decadence on his face became more intense.

Teacher Qiao Xiu's only son, Lu Luxiu, who has been away from home for three years, has returned.

Time passed gradually, the forest gradually came to an end, and the roads were replaced by neat fields, until the majestic Pompeii Castle appeared in the field of vision.

There was also a boy riding a horse.

Lelouch vaguely recognized that this was his father's main student, the heir of Pompeii, Luther, Pompeii.

Lu Luxiu was a little surprised, this young master Pompeii was obviously waiting for him, and the news of his return was only told to his father, and although his relationship with this young master was good before, it seemed that he was not so close.

"Hi, Senior Luluxiu." Luther also saw Luluxiu, rode his horse forward, greeted him with a smile, then got off his horse and opened his arms.

Lu Luxiu also got off his horse and gave Luther a big hug.

"Hi, little Luther." Lu Luxiu also greeted kindly.

Although the relationship between the two people was not so close before, Lu Luxiu was still very moved by the enthusiasm of the fellow villagers.

After hugging, Lu Luxiu let go of Luther, then looked Luther up and down, and said with a smile: "Little Luther is stronger than before."

"Not only have I become stronger, but I have also successfully advanced to become a junior knight." Luther said with a smile.

"So it's the knight of Pompeii." Lu Luxiu showed a smile on his face, then put his right hand on his chest, his left hand behind his back, and bent down to salute.

This is obviously a joke.

Because Lelouch had known for a long time when this young master Pompeii would be promoted to become a knight.

All in all, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Then Lu Luxiu asked: "Little Luther, you shouldn't be here just to welcome me back home, right? Just tell me if you have anything to say."

As smart as Lu Luxiu, he can naturally guess what Luther is hiding.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Dad to tell Luther the news of his return, and Luther even came to welcome him.

"Nothing can be hidden from the senior." Luther first complimented him jokingly, and then said seriously: "I plan to hire the senior to be the mayor of Pompeii. What do you think?"

By the way, Luther explained the word mayor in detail.

Lu Luxiu felt a little funny after hearing this. According to Luther, the mayor is equivalent to the city lord.Does Luther know what a castellan is?
Not to mention those wonderful cities, a city in the traditional sense.

At least have a population of more than 3, and have a city, and matching military strength.The sphere of influence will also radiate some surrounding villages and towns.

This is at least a territory owned by a baron.

Pompeii house.

Lelouch doesn't despise the Pompeii family, because he also grew up in the Pompeii family, and he still feels very kind to the Pompeii family.

But this does not mean that Lu Luxiu will blindly and fanatically worship the Pompeii family.

After thinking about it calmly, the Pompeii family does not have the title, prestige, and strength of owning a city.

Besides, where is Pompeii?This is a town without any specialties, and its location is very remote, with a combined population of only about 2000 people.

Even if the factor of title is excluded, Pompeii can develop into a city, that would be called hell.

However, Lu Luxiu must have feelings for Pompeii's family, and this time he failed to go out and came back in despair.

Lu Luxiu didn't plan to go out for a short time, and it was okay to find something to do in Pompeii.

Although it is impossible to develop Pompeii Territory to the size of a city, Lelouch is still sure to develop Pompeii Territory a little bit bigger.

For example, cultivate more fields, recruit some free people and so on.

If you work hard, maybe the power of the Pompeii family will double.

Lu Luxiu thought in his heart, and also readily agreed.

"That's great." Luther was very happy. According to his memory, Lelouch was a very talented person, and he was the most suitable person to be the mayor of Pompeii.

Immediately, Luther told Lu Luxiu about his plan.

After hearing this, Lu Luxiu was stunned.

Just like old Sol, Mrs. Sophie heard Luther's plan, her first reaction was bewilderment, and the second reaction was impossible.

Can manure fertilize the fields and increase production?
What book was written in it, and which great man said it?

Although I, Lelouch, dare not say that I have read all the books on the Kingdom of Prussia, I have also read a lot of books on agriculture, and I have never heard of such a thing.

"I don't think it's reliable." Lu Luxiu said very simply.

"Whether it's reliable or not, you'll know if you try it. Senior, if you want to set up a city hall and do these tasks, what kind of support do you need?"

Luther said resolutely, he didn't look back if he didn't hit the south wall, he was full of momentum.

Lelouchi wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Luther's posture, he had no choice but to turn off the flame.Forget it, this is Pompeii collar, and the young master in front of him is the boss who pays the wages.

Listen to the boss is right.

Lu Luxiu stroked his chin, saying that the chin that used to be smooth and clean had grown a beard now, and the soft beard was very comfortable to touch.

"The current workload is not large, but according to your future plan, little Luther, I need at least five assistants who can read, a team of ten guards, responsible for running errands, and security work. Most importantly, I also need A dedicated office, that is, the city hall."

"As for repairing the road and cleaning up the excrement, it's very easy. According to the prestige of the Pompeii family, you can call the chiefs of the villages, arrange the road section, let them repair it, and clean it up. There is no need for wages, the Pompeii family Many people are willing to do it if they only need to pay for three meals a day. There is no income in the countryside, and it is not the busy farming season, so the strong men have nowhere to vent their energy."

Lu Luxiu said.

Upon hearing this, Luther immediately showed his white front teeth and gave a thumbs up.

Talent.

This is talent.

Just leave the details to Lu Luxiu, he just needs to be a quiet and handsome man.Just wait for the territory to develop.

Obscene development, obscene development.

Cool!
