Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 139 Circus

As the farmers started their autumn harvest work, the city hall and Pompeii's house became busy.

Especially the city hall. Before that, the city hall was very idle, because Pompeii currently only has farmers and no residents, so there are not so many things to do.

Now here's the thing.

This year is a bumper harvest. The farmers will deliver all the harvested wheat and vegetables to the Pompeii family for processing. The wheat will be turned into wheat flour and the vegetables will be turned into vegetable oil.

The farmers will pay the Pompeii family a certain commission for this. The commission is not high, but small profits but quick turnover. The two processing workshops of the Pompeii family have made a lot of money.

After the vegetable oil and wheat flour are produced, the farmers will keep some of them for their own consumption, and most of them will be sold to the Pompeii family for copper coins.

The Pompeii family would buy it at a price lower than the market price, and then transport it to Kaiyue City to sell it, which is another income.

After the peasants had silver coins or even gold coins in their hands, they naturally began to consume, buying cloth to make clothes, buying some broken promises, and even some meat and sausages.

So the farmers waved their coins again and came to Pompey's grocery store, cloth shop, and ranch to buy these necessities of life, and Pompey's family made a fortune because of this.

This is a very, very scary thing.

It stands to reason that it is impossible in a real city, thanks to the fact that the scale of Pompeii is still small, and all businesses are exclusively operated by the Pompeii family.

All in all, this year's autumn harvest farmers earn more, in fact, Pompey's family earns more.On the contrary, it reduced or exempted the people's tax burden for one year, but it was a drop in the bucket.

Of course, because Pompeii’s financial system is two parallel, Pompeii’s business forms its own finances, and the taxation of the city hall forms its own finances.

So it was the Pompey family who made the money, but because the city hall was very poor, the Pompeii family had to subsidize the city hall.

Madame Sophie's study in Pompeii.

Mrs. Sophie was holding a ledger and starting to reconcile the accounts, counting and writing.Luther was sitting at the desk, obediently, without making any sound.

Madam Sophie is settling the income from the Pompey family's territory this year.

Luther was looking forward to how much income the Pompey family could earn.

"Crack." After a long calculation, Madam Sophie put the ledger away, and then showed a joyful smile to Luther.

"Luther, this autumn harvest, our Pompeii family's income is a full [-] gold coins."

Luther was immediately happy when he heard it, and he clenched his fist and waved it in joy.

Luther was really happy.

Eight thousand gold coins doesn't sound like much.After all, when Luther wiped out the Autumn Wind Thieves, he borrowed [-] gold coins from the Barton family.

But you must know that Barton Territory is a baronial territory with a population of more than [-], and the income it generates is of course astonishing.

Pompeii's previous year's income was less than a thousand gold coins.

Eight thousand gold coins is a very considerable income, and it is not a one-off sale, and there is a certain degree of sustainability, because it is impossible for the farmers to spend all the gold coins in their hands at once. The Bei family brings a steady stream of income.

Now there are more than 1 farmers, and in the future one hundred thousand, one million?
So it is very scary to operate a territory.

"Don't be too happy, we still have a lot of foreign debts. The Barton family owes us [-] gold coins. The bounty has not come down for a while, and the [-] gold coins are still generating interest. , and the gold coins we borrowed from the five great knight families also need to be repaid."

Madam Sophie poured cold water on Luther.

"Pay back the money? Don't pay back the money. Use the interest to delay it. If you keep the money first, you may be able to use it at any time." Luther shook his head and would never pay back the money.

Money can make money.

But the interest still has to be paid, and Luther is not an idiot.

By the way, the Barton family's [-] gold coins cannot be delayed. After the bounty is paid, the principal and interest must be repaid. This is the condition that was agreed at the beginning.

But what Luther can owe is the gold coins of the five knight families.

After a lot of joy, Luther stood up from the chair, then bowed to Madam Sophie, and said sincerely: "Mom, you have worked hard this year, please be sure to buy some jewelry for yourself."

There is nothing wrong with these words.

In terms of personal relationship, Luther and Mrs. Sophie have a very good relationship with their mother and child, better than ordinary biological mothers and children, and there is nothing wrong with adding jewelry to their mother.

In terms of work, Mrs. Sophie and Butler Fei Lun have managed the family business in an orderly manner this year. Pompeii wine, various workshops, ranches, and shops in the territory are all run by the mother. reason.

There is no need to pay wages.

No matter what, you have to give a year-end bonus.

You must buy jewelry and clothes.

"Then I'll withdraw two hundred gold coins to buy some clothes and jewelry." Mrs. Sophie said happily seeing Luther's filial piety.

"Two hundred gold coins are too few, please spend five hundred gold coins." Luther begged his mother to spend the money.

"Then I'll add some clothes for you, Mary, and William." Madam Sophie smiled and said, as a lady who can manage the house, she certainly wouldn't spend five hundred gold coins on clothes and jewelry for herself, but Seeing that Luther was so filial, she made a compromise and planned to add clothes for her family.

"Okay." Luther reluctantly agreed.

Skipping this topic, Mrs. Sophie suddenly remembered about the circus, and asked, "By the way, didn't you ask Lelouchi to hire a circus for a carnival celebration? When will it arrive?"

"According to the plan, it should arrive the day after tomorrow." Luther said with a smile, and then said: "This is a famous circus hired from Kaiyue City. There are various animal taming performances, various acrobatic performances, by the way, and Funny clown show. Mom, you must go see it too."

Madam Sophie nodded happily and said, "Okay, I will definitely go and have a look then."

As the wife of the lord and in charge of the family business, Mrs. Sophie rarely leaves the territory once a year, and her life is all centered on the Pompeii family.

This time Pompeii had an autumn harvest and the circus was on tour, so of course she was interested in going to see it.

after one day.

The famous circus of the city of Excelle, the "Pallada Circus", came to Pompeii.Pompeii will usher in a month-long carnival, during which the circus tours the villages of Pompeii.

All expenses will be borne by the Pompeii family.

There is only one purpose.

Let the entire Pompeii territory fall into a carnival and continue the joy of the autumn harvest.

Let's party, people.

Carnival together for our common Pompeii.

Pompeii.

Our Pompeii will be better.

The previous chapters have been revised twice, because I took the name of the President of the United States as the leader of the thieves, and the harmony was lost.

The first revision put a period in the middle of the name, but it didn't work.

In the second modification, the leader is called Omima.

I'm really sorry for causing trouble to everyone.
