Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 53 Arrangements for the People

After a little understanding of the work of Cavalierston, Luther began to get into the topic.

"Brazilian Knight, you have worked hard. You should rest in the territory for three days, and then go to join the Ston Knight after three days." Luther said to the Brazilian Knight sympathetically.

"Thank you, Knight Luther." The Brazilian Knight said gratefully.

This time I went to the territory of the Marquis of Parker and passed through the territories of several nobles. The journey was long and some roads were not easy to walk.

This time and again, even with the strong physical strength of the knight, I still feel a little tired.

Now he and his accompanying guards need to rest.

Of course, it would be fine if Luther insisted that they start again tomorrow, but it would inevitably cause complaints from the Brazilian knights and guards.

On the contrary, taking the initiative to let them rest for two days will win the gratitude of the knight guards.

It can be considered that Luther, as the lord, bought people's hearts a little.

In other words, Luther has become more and more proficient in this aspect.

After letting the Brazilian knight go down to rest, Luther turned his head and looked at Lelouch. At this moment, while Luther was talking to the Brazilian knight, Lelouch had already taken out a drawing and put it on the desk.

"According to the plan, we will develop new farmland around Pompeii. As for the new 1 people, I plan to divide them into 500 villages, each with about [-] people. This is what I initially selected. Twenty strongholds, Luther, take a look."

Lu Luxiu pointed to the twenty small black dots on the map.

This map covers the entire territory of Baron Barton, and Pompeii Territory is quite far from Barton's main city, Kaiyue City.

Even the other territories of Baron Barton are not bordering, like a nail, nailed into the southern forest, it looks like an enclave.

Pompeii Castle is a big fork, and twenty small black dots are arranged irregularly in the south of Pompeii Castle in a fan-shaped manner.

Luther had no opinion on this layout, but he was a little worried about the defense of these villages. After all, the security situation in Pompeii was not good.

In the seemingly endless forest, there are many monsters, humanoid races, and even giant dragons.

"This arrangement is fine, but remember that every village must have a certain degree of defense. Big trees must be cut down to build external barriers, and each village must select fifty militiamen. During the busy season, the militiamen are still farmers, but when they meet In case of danger, the militia can also serve as a guard force."

Luther pondered for a while, and gave a plan that focused on defense.

"That's no problem, at most it's just paying some weapons." Lu Luxiu agreed with this plan.Immediately, the two of them left the city hall with a few guards and arrived at an open space outside the castle.

The crowd of more than [-] people brought by the Brazilian knights is currently arranged in this open space, and a team of guards is doing simple management work.

What do these people say?

Mental outlook is not good.

First of all, it is visible to the naked eye. You can see the dish on the faces of these people, which means malnutrition.

The second is that these people are very dirty, which means that they have been hit by life and don't care much about hygiene issues.

All in all, the crowd looks like a mess.

But this is also normal, otherwise, if there is a stable life, the free folk would not choose to leave their homes and come to this remote Pompeii to seek life, even if Pompeii offered very generous conditions.

In addition, Luther also saw the anxiety about the future contained in the eyes of many people.

This is normal. Normal people will feel uneasy when they first come to a new environment, not to mention that Pompeii collar may not be a safe place.

Even if Pompeii is safe, they haven't met the lord yet, so they don't know if the lord will really fulfill his promise.

These people are like a group of frightened Mianyangs who need to be appeased.

In addition, Luther also saw that these people brought a lot of their own property, including clothes, pots and pans, etc., and some people brought chickens, ducks, dogs and other livestock.

"Arrange people to set up tents here first, prepare hot soup, and give them food. Wait until tomorrow to record the household register, and three days later, take them to open up wasteland in the forest. Don't worry, let them calm down first."

Luther took a look at these people and decided to take a while to open up wasteland.

"Okay." Lu Luxiu nodded.

At this time, the people also saw the arrival of Luther and his party. Luther and Lelouchi could tell they were nobles just by looking at their clothes, so the men and women who were sitting casually stood up. Those men and women were full of energy and fearless. The children who were playing were restrained by their parents.

Standing stiffly, facing Luther and the others.

Luther decided to use himself as a weapon first. He asked a guard to move a box, and then stood on the box, waiting to attract the attention of all the people.

Luther said loudly: "Free people, this is Pompeii. I am this generation of Pompeii knights, the eldest son of Saul Pompeii, and the next generation of Pompeii knights, Luther, Pompeii. I represent Pompeii You are welcome here."

After a pause, Luther said loudly again: "Don't worry, Pompeii's land and tax promises to you will be strictly fulfilled and will not be discounted. In addition, I have someone prepare hot soup and food, and they will be delivered soon." It will be served, you should fill your stomach first and rest. After three days, I will arrange for you to open up wasteland."

After the people heard these words, the uneasiness in their eyes disappeared a lot, and some changes took place in their mental outlook.

Not long after, a white-haired old man came out, bowed to Luther and said, "Thank you, kind Master Luther."

"Thank you too, wise elder." Luther stepped down from the box, bent over to the old man in a very friendly manner, and then joked: "Also, please call me Luther Knight. I have grown up , is no longer the young master who hides in mother's arms and acts like a spoiled child."

"Hahaha."

The relaxed joke made the crowd laugh out loud, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"This young master is really kind and kind."

Many people are thinking in their hearts.

This is their initial impression of the Pompeii collar, and it is definitely a good impression.

After this little episode, Luther talked to the people again, and then handed it over to Lu Luxiu, what should he do.

Since Lelouch, the mayor of Pompeii, is the acting lord, there is no need to ask about the details.Besides, in the afternoon, he will have unshakable knight training.

While I still have a little time to work, take a break first, eat and drink enough for lunch, and have the strength to train in the afternoon.

As the territory develops, so does itself.

perfect.
