Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 13
Pompey collar.

This is a small country knight's territory that is very remote and basically nobody cares about.The resident population includes serfs and almost 2000 civilians.

Especially in this territory, the lord Sol basically doesn't care.Therefore, Luther and Pompey are the biggest big bosses.

The fashionable term is, BOSS.

So whatever Luther wanted to do, no matter how absurd, he could do it.The next day, the first mayor of Pompeii, Lelouch, Bonaparte, took office brilliantly.

Because it took a little time to build a city hall, Luther first decided to choose an open space near the castle, and summoned the craftsmen in the castle to prepare to build a city hall.

Luther's ambition is not small, look at it.In the future, Pompeii will definitely become a real city.Therefore, Luther was also very concerned about the construction of the city hall.

The intention is to build a two-storey villa as the office of the city hall.

However, the city hall cannot be built in a short while, so Luther temporarily chose a room in the castle as a temporary office for the city hall.

During this process, Lu Luxiu first recruited four assistants who could read and write.Although Pompeii is in the countryside and there are not many people who can read, it can still be done with four people as assistants.

As for the ten guards and errand guards, it's easier to say.

Luther sent Bovina's guards to the city hall.

After that comes the construction work, repairing the roads, cleaning up the manure, and fertilizing the fields.

Inside the castle, the temporary residence of the town hall.

This room was empty before, and five tables, chairs, and some writing instruments were temporarily arranged. The shabby ones couldn't be more shabby.

All four assistants were sent out, and they were responsible for calling the chiefs of each village to discuss matters in the castle.So only Lu Luxiu and Luther were left in the room.

The weather in the south is always hot. Although it is still early spring, summer seems to have quietly arrived, and the weather is a bit muggy.

So the windows in the room are open.

Lu Luxiu was leaning against the window, and one button of his shirt was unbuttoned, his image was somewhat casual.

Luther also sat on a chair casually, facing Lu Luxiu.

"It's very simple to repair roads and clean up excrement. But building toilets in various households, fermenting excrement, and making so-called fertile fields, farmers have never done such a thing in their ancestors, and they will definitely be puzzled and resistant. But we have The advantage, the Pompeii family still has a lot of weight in this territory. No matter how doubtful the village chiefs are, you will insist on doing it later. They will not resist. You have to come forward to this matter, little Luther, My words are meaningless."

Lu Luxiu confessed.

"it is good."

Luther nodded, expressing his understanding.

To put it simply, it is a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Haha.

Pompeii collar is not small, but it is not big.Now is not the time for farming, and the village chiefs are also idle, so soon the village chiefs came to the castle in a hurry.

Pompeii led a total of about 130 civilians, divided into ten villages.There are about [-] people in each village, or just a dozen households.

The person who can be elected as the head of the village must of course have a little ability and insight.

But after all, they are still ordinary civilians. These chiefs can only look at Pompeii Castle from a distance in normal times, and have never entered the castle at all.

Being summoned again suddenly, at this moment, he was naturally uneasy.

"Master Luther has just been promoted to a junior knight, and a carnival has just been held in the territory. It is said to be a carnival, but it is just a little food from the Pompeii family. Now Master Luther has summoned us, why is this?"

Each one is very cramped.

"Hello. I'm Lelouch, Bonaparte. The person next to me is the heir to the Pompeii family, Master Luther. Some of you know me, and some of you don't. But it doesn't matter, today I announce something Things. I have become the acting lord of Pompeii, representing the rights of the Pompeii family to exercise the lord. You can call me Mr. Mayor. Next, I will order you two things. One thing is to repair the roads near your village , One thing is to clean up the excrement on the side of the road and pour it into the field for fertilization. By the way, you have to build a toilet first."

Lelouch was originally leaning against the wall near the window, but at this moment he had already sat in the seat belonging to the mayor of Pompeii, and said in a very serious tone.

Luther sat on another chair and looked at Lu Luxiu with his head tilted. This senior must have experienced a lot after returning from wandering outside for three years.

Maybe he also worked in the official department, very aura.

The ten village chiefs were a little agitated, more confused.

Well, building roads or something makes sense, even gospel.

Because the roads in the territory are too difficult to walk, the people are miserable.The lords organized them to build roads, and they agreed with it.

And according to the usual practice, the lord should give them rations.

It can not only fill the stomach, but also build the road well.

At this time, you should shout "My lord is merciful."

But what the hell is dumping manure into a field?Can the grown wheat be eaten?How disgusting.Will it breed pests?
At this time, a village head stood up.

This is a man in his 50s. Farmers are all old. This man may be in his early forties.The appearance is very ordinary, and the figure is also very ordinary.

He glanced at Luther a little restrainedly, and then at Lelouch, with different eyes.Looking at Lu Luxiu's eyes, it was suspicious.

It is still necessary for Lelouch to pull the tiger skin of Pompeii's family.

The people may not save face for Lulu, but they absolutely must not disrespect Luther, Pompeii.

"Excuse me, Mr. Mayor, why did you pour the excrement into the field?" The head of the village looked at Lu Luxiu suspiciously.

Lelouch shrugged, he knew it would be like this.

At this time, Master Luther appeared on the stage, and Luther coughed lightly, "Hey, which village chief are you?"

"Master Luther, I am the No. [-] head of the village." The head of the village instantly became restrained, subconsciously bent his back, and replied in a low voice.

There is also some trepidation.

"Don't be too nervous." Luther waved his hand and said, but the effect was not very good, and the village head was still very restrained.Luther had no choice but to skip this question, and said directly: "I read from a book that pouring manure into the field will make the wheat grow stronger and increase the harvest. In order to control the harvest next year, I order you, must Can you build toilets outside the house and pour the manure into the fields?"

At the end, Luther crossed his hands on the desk, his body leaned forward slightly, his eyes were very sharp, and his tone was a little harsh.

Put on the momentum of a tiger.

"Yes."

The No. [-] head of the village and the other nine heads of the village seemed to have been hit by lightning. They first gave a clever call, and then said in unison.

Pompey's words, in this Pompeii territory, are supreme.

This is the tiger.

And with Luther's order, these people will not steal and play tricks.And the effect will come out in autumn.

Luther can already meet that this year's taxes must be leveraged.

So happy.

Get on with it.
