Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 49 The Construction of the City

The two little girls in the family were temporarily put aside. Luther's job was not to be a brother, but an heir to a lord.

The next generation of knights of Pompeii, Barons of Pompeii, Counts of Pompeii.

So after the training, Luther's job was still the construction of the territory.

Of course, Luther did not personally coordinate, he just assisted from the sidelines, interjecting a few words occasionally.Because the mayor of Pompeii is Lelouch.

He is the master planner, and there is no need to do it himself.

It will take some time for Stone, Pompeii and others to successfully bring in the population, so the current job is to build the city.After a period of planning.

Lu Luxiu started the work of repairing the city wall.

Repairing the city wall is not an easy job, it is a very complicated job.The first is to delineate the area of ​​the city wall, and the second involves the type, height, and thickness of the city wall.

Today is still a sunny day, hot summer, making the surrounding temperature very high, even with the naked eye, it seems that even the space is distorted.

Luther and Lelouch stood on a field surrounded by lush green wheat, and their entourage also included the servant knight Xiuxiu and a group of guards.

Because they came on horseback, the guards were watching over the horses to keep them from trampling the fields.

Lelouch and Luther both wore hats, although they didn't play much role, but they could bring some coolness.

Lu Luxiu also had a blueprint in his hand, which was a plan, on which stood a building that looked like a city, in a circular shape.

There are four city gates, and there are watchtowers and arrow towers arranged on the city walls, which are extremely densely distributed, showing that this is a city with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The area is not too large, mainly in the current territory of Pompeii, with Pompeii Castle as the center, and the farmland directly belonging to the Pompeii family radiating out, which is about one-third of the territory.

Next year, the serfs inside the city walls will migrate out, and together with the 1 new arrivals, they will cut down forests and increase the area of ​​Pompeii.

Residential areas, commercial streets, schools, military areas and other buildings will be designed in the city.

The key point is that all the land in the city belongs to Pompeii's family. When Pompeii expands in the future, it will attract a large number of people to live in. Whether it is real estate or a charter company, it will be a lot of income.

The key is to expand the industry.

Of course, what is now considered is building a city wall, not real estate.

Lu Luxiu pointed to the blueprint and said, "I have calculated that the city wall is ten meters high and five meters thick. The stone materials needed can be purchased in Kaiyue City. At the same time, a large number of stonemasons, workers, etc. are needed. The total cost is five thousand About gold coins. Of course, the Pompeii family will definitely not be able to produce so many gold coins now. So I think we can wait for a while before building, and wait for the revenue from Pompeii wine to enter the account one after another and when the funds are abundant. By the way, stone materials are also available. It can be purchased in batches, which will ease the pressure on funds.”

Luther nodded, and looked up at the nearby farmland.If the city wall is designed according to this design, then this piece of farmland will be the foundation for the construction of the city wall.

The wheat in the farmland grows so well, it's a pity to destroy it.It is not too late to build after the autumn harvest.

As for the five thousand gold coins, Luther didn't care at all, and he was reluctant that the child couldn't catch the wolf.

You can do business only after you have downloaded the book.

Besides, the income of Pompeii wine is so high now, and the monthly sales are constantly increasing, so it should be no problem to pay five thousand gold coins.

Even if there is a problem, you can ask Dad to borrow money.

Anyway, borrowing once is also borrowing, and borrowing twice is also borrowing.

Borrowing money to do business is the most exciting thing.

At this time, Lu Luxiu remembered something, and he didn't think it was dirty, so he put the blueprint on the ground.Then he pointed to the positions of the city walls and gates on all four sides, and said, "That's right. I don't have any specific plans for the various constructions in the city. I will build the city walls first. But there is one thing that must be built first. This is the military area. Here , Here, here, here, near the four walls, four military areas must be established for the guards to live in, they can quickly support the defense of the city wall during wartime, and they can also be responsible for guarding, patrolling, training, etc. in peacetime."

Speaking of this, Lu Luxiu looked up at Luther and said, "And this brings up another problem. For such a large city, you need at least five hundred guards to defend it. This is the most basic and cannot be less."

"In other words, I have to select 1 guards from the [-] people I brought along, plus the [-] people in the territory, to provide food, weapons, armor, and military training. This is another big money."

Luther rubbed his temples, feeling his body being hollowed out.

Even if the income of Pompeii wine is very good at present, it cannot withstand such expenses.

Building a city is indeed not a simple matter.For example, the Barton family's Excelle City, it has experienced the construction of countless generations of barons before it has the scale it is today.

Ten thousand zhang tall buildings rise from the ground.

The advantage that Luther relies on now is that he can make money, and the cattle farming plan he created can greatly promote agricultural development and introduce population.

If you don't have a little wrist, it really won't work.

Finances are a bit tight, but with a city, population, and knights, there are no corresponding guards, which is not in line with the equipment of a city.

After thinking about it, Luther gritted his teeth and said, "Gold coins are like the grooves on a woman's chest. If you squeeze them, there will always be one. I will find a way to do this."

Lu Luxiu felt very novel about Luther's statement.But thinking about it, it really makes sense, those beautifully dressed women.

She often exposed the large white area in front of her, desperately revealing the ditch.

Lu Luxiu is so big, he has never seen a woman without a ditch.

But Lu Luxiu suddenly smiled and said, "Little Luther, I heard that you are still a virgin, do you know what it's like to be a woman?"

Luther became a little annoyed, and said with white eyes: "Who said, I have a lot of experience."

I muttered in my heart.

"Watching porn is considered experienced? I have seen a lot of women's ditches."

Immediately, Luther thought again.

"Ruth has to work harder. Although she can't marry as a wife, it's good to develop a special relationship that transcends the relationship between men and women. The most important thing is to take care of the virgin hat."

"I, Luther, Pompeii, the next generation of knights, how can I be a virgin."

It's also good to talk about these leisure things after work.Time passed quickly, and Luther returned to Pompeii Castle together with Lelouch, Xiu Xiuya, and the guards.

Everything is empty talk now, and the actual implementation will have to arrive after the autumn harvest.

This year's autumn harvest must be a fruitful one.

When Luther thought of his manure fertilization method, his confidence became very strong.

The territory will get better and better. When the farmland in the territory expands next year, the agriculture will flourish. However, because there will be a year of tax exemption, the collection of taxes will take place in the year after next.

But all in all, the financial situation will get better and better.

Pompey's family will get richer and richer.
