Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 55

The movement of Luther and his party was not small, and soon attracted the attention of the knights who were training in the open space outside the village.

This knight is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, he speaks and smiles casually, and is tall and strong, looking very majestic.

He is Michele Knight.

Born in one of the six knight lord families, he had been living in a remote baronial territory in the province of Orange before defecting to Pompeii.

Life is still so-so, and the knight can find a job as a housekeeper no matter where he is, and he can live well.

But making a living abroad is not as good as returning home.Therefore, after receiving the letter from the family, Knight Michel immediately returned to Baron Barton and became one of the guard knights under the Pompeii family.

ability.

It can only be said to be mediocre.

Knight Michel has reached middle age, but he is still a junior knight, and he is also mediocre among junior knights.

It is estimated that Michel Knight will not be able to reach the middle-level knight in his life.However, he also has advantages. He is meticulous in doing things and very stable.

Little knight lord families like the Pompeii family, and people like Knight Michel belonged to the mainstay.Because of his meticulous work, Luther handed over the Pompeii No. [-] village, temporary guards, and the work of training the militia to him.

"Disband on the spot, get tools, help cut down the forest, and reclaim the fields." Knight Michel ordered the militia to disband on the spot, and then trotted all the way to meet Luther.

"Luther knight."

Knight Michel stroked his chest with his right hand, bent down and performed a courtesy.

"It's not a big deal, but Pompeii No. [-] village has been built. As the acting lord, I want to take a look at this village." Luther waved his hand and got off the horse.

At this time, Xiu Xiuya and another knight also got off their horses, and the guards took the initiative to pull the reins and control the horses.

That's right, Luther came this time for this simple but not simple purpose.

Take a look at your own village.

simple right?Of course it's simple, just walk around and see.

But it's not easy.

As a qualified lord, Luther must know his territory well.What's more, this is the first step of Luther's pioneering plan, the first of twenty villages built, of course Luther wants to come and see.

By the way, after these days.Some civilians were brought back, and the villages of Pompeii [-] to [-] are currently under construction.

These villages are relatively far away, and they are still like islands inserted in the depths of the forest, but after the deforestation is completed, they can be connected together.

At present, Luther is quite satisfied with the progress of the work in the territory.

"How is the training of these militiamen?" Luther asked after explaining his purpose for coming, and then got to the point.

Look, understand, not just talk.

"It's okay, working all the year round, so that the militiamen have a very strong physique, and the bows, swords, spears, etc. are still barely used, but they are still far from the elite. If there is a war, they can only rely on the village for defense. After all, it is a militia that hastily formed an army."

Knight Michel explained meticulously.

No perfunctory, no excuses.In his eyes, this militia was really just a mob.Knight Michel is such an upright and serious knight.

"Whatever happens, I can rely on the village for defense and wait for reinforcements to satisfy me. I don't expect them to become an elite army."

Luther expressed his satisfaction.

As for the militia, there is no need to worry too much about combat effectiveness, as long as they have a basic level.

After a short conversation with Knight Michel about the militia, Luther began to enter the village. Only the elderly and children were left in the village.

Of course those children didn't dare to approach, hiding away as if Luther was a wild beast.But he couldn't help watching it curiously, and stuck out his little head secretly against the corner of the wall.

Some old people came to meet Luther, very humble.

Luther's attitude was of course kind, and he asked the guards to distribute some wheat cakes and some beer to the old people, and asked about the life in the village.

I am very satisfied with the result. I don't know if the weather is going well, but there are still some things to live and work in peace and contentment.The people are currently eating and drinking, and they are working hard to cut down forests.

After chatting for a few words, the old people became more courageous.

One of the old men asked Luther, "Knight Luther, I heard that the land we are going to reclaim is so large that it cannot be taken care of by manpower. I also heard that there is a tool called a plow in the territory of Pompeii." , you can let the ox help plow the field. I don’t know, this plowing ox?”

The other old people also pricked up their ears. This is something everyone cares about.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, besides, Pompeii No. [-] village is also the village under Pompeii's leadership, so of course the wind also came here.

When the old people heard that cattle could help plow the fields, they were curious, excited and eager.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, anyway, before spring plowing next year, full preparations must be made.Speaking up now will help stabilize the people's hearts.

Luther then smiled and said: "There is such a thing, I will prepare the plow and the cattle before next year's spring plowing, but I must say one thing up front, because the Bass cattle are very precious, so they cannot be provided to you for free, yes I lent it to you temporarily. After the autumn harvest, you have to work together to buy the cattle."

It's not that Luther is stingy, but that cow is really expensive.

Isn't the development of the territory just for money?

Some farm tools are not worth a lot of money, but the Bass cattle are so precious that the farmers have to chip in to buy the cattle after the harvest.

Not provided for free.

Anyway, because of the cattle plowing the fields, the land that farmers can cultivate has greatly increased, so they can definitely afford Bass cattle.

"Don't worry, this Lutheran knight, if you can lend us the Bass cattle for a year, we will be satisfied. With the help of the Bass cattle, we can take care of more fields. It will not be a problem to buy the cattle next fall."

The old man hastily patted his chest and promised.

The other old people also had smiles on their faces, looking forward to the future.

The feeling of gold coins is just to be able to eat and drink here, and to be stable.But their feelings are deeper, because they have seen the future.

And this kind of future cannot be seen in Parkland.

That "executioner" Marquis Parker was so cruel that he wished to collect all the gold, silver and copper coins in his territory into his wallet.

It was so right to come to Pompeii.

"By the way, other than that, don't defecate casually. You must continue to regularly clean up the livestock manure on the road. If you violate it, I will punish you."

Luther reminded him when he remembered this.

In fact, Luther had already seen it along the way. The road surface was clean, and he rarely saw feces or the like.It should be that the officials of the city hall have told the people about this before.

But in order not to let the public relax, Luther mentioned another sentence.

"Don't worry, Luther Knight, we will abide by this." The old people said quickly.

Although the feces and fertilizer fields are weird, and it's weird not to defecate anywhere, but compared with the current stable life in Pompeii, this is a trivial matter.

Absolutely.
