Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 59
With this autumn harvest, the prestige of Luther and Pompeii rose again.Howe bluntly said that now Luther's prestige in the territory has surpassed that of his father's generation of Pompeii knight, old Sol.

Even, Luther's prestige surpassed that of Pompeii knights in the past.

Among the Pompeii knights in the past, there are also excellent knights, but they are all knights with considerable combat effectiveness. On the contrary, there are very few lord knights.

Otherwise, the Pompeii family would not have been like this bird for hundreds of years.

Of course, those Pompeii knights with strong fighting power will also be sung, but for the citizens, although it is romantic, it has no practical meaning.

But Luther was different. He greatly improved the quality of life of the freedmen in Pompeii.

Moreover, Luther was still destroying another class, the slave class.

Of course, those slaves who are controlled by whips, walking like corpses, like livestock, don't feel the friendliness of Luther and Pompeii at present.

All numb guys.

Because they have been controlled for too long, but the children of these serfs, the next generation of teenagers, children, when they grow up, will feel the friendliness of Luther Pompey and will be sincerely grateful.

Of course, this must be guided, and this is also one of Luther's future jobs. As a qualified lord, Luther must unite people's hearts.

And the core of uniting people's hearts is two words, kindness.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it.

All in all, Luther's road to becoming a lord is still very long, especially the road to becoming a great nobleman.

In the territory, there is joy of harvest everywhere.Not only No. [-] village, but also No. [-] to No. [-] villages, plus the ten villages of Tiema Village.

There are countless people like Asma, and people like Asma are caught in a carnival everywhere.While each village is working hard to harvest grain, they choose to hold a banquet at night.

Although the dishes are not rich, the most precious ones are sausage, bacon, and Pompeii wine, but it also makes the people extremely happy and intoxicated.

And after the wheat was harvested, after rough processing, it was transported to the wheat flour processing factory in the territory, and finally turned into white wheat flour.

The wheat flour was divided into three parts by the farmers, one part was taxed, the other part was eaten by oneself, and the uneatable part was sold to the lord in exchange for coins, and finally turned into various living materials.

Pompeii's family would transport the purchased wheat flour to Kaiyue City to sell, and also earned part of the coins.

This was also one of the important incomes of the Pompeii family before, and it would still be one of the important incomes after the expansion of the territory and the increase of the farmland area.

The purchase of wheat flour, the exclusive blacksmith shop, and grocery store, the Pompeii family used to rack their brains to generate income and maintain the family's survival. The result was still very rough. It was not until Old Sol married Mrs. Sophie that the situation improved slightly. .

And Luther's Pompeian wine, along with plans for agricultural reformation, brought about major changes.

The life of the Pompeii family is much better now.

The joyful atmosphere of the bountiful harvest in autumn is still continuing, and this atmosphere may continue into the spring of next year, or the whole year of next year.

It can be imagined that in the next year, the freedmen will have money to drink and spend, and the economic level in the territory will rise.

This is a matter for the people, a matter of happiness.

As the lord, Luther, the knight of Pompeii, put away his mood from the joy of this autumn harvest, and began to look forward to the future.

According to the plan, Luther began to build the city.

The city construction plan has been brewing for several months, even the location of the city wall has been marked, and it is only waiting to buy stones from Kaiyue City, recruit craftsmen, and start construction.

But there are still some things that need to be sorted out, so a meeting was held in the city hall of Pompeii.

The location is the meeting room in the city hall of Pompeii. The mayor of Pompeii, Lelouch, was in charge of presiding over the meeting. Pompeii officials attended the meeting, most of whom were scholars recruited together with the knights.

In addition, as the former tax officer of the territory, Mr. Qiao Xiu also attended the meeting.

Old Saul did not come, and Luther, as the next generation of Pompeii knights, was in charge of listening.

After several months of training, Lu Luxiu looked more and more capable. He even grew a beard, just like the beard that was once popular in Europe.

Wearing such an old-fashioned beard at a young age seemed ridiculous to Luther.But Lu Luxiu felt pretty good about himself and was very energetic, so Luther couldn't say it directly.

I'm sorry.

No matter what, Lu Luxiu took the position of mayor, showing a very strong aura.

"After calculation, compare it with last year's output. The grain harvested this year is [-]% more than last year's grain. According to the past practice, the surplus grain in the hands of farmers is purchased by the family and then sold in Kaiyue City. But Because this year's population recruitment plan requires a large amount of grain reserves, this batch of grain will not be sold, and a granary will be built in the city as a reserve."

"According to the plan, our city is circular, with four gates. The gate area is set up as a military area, guarded by guards and knights. In this way, the granary can be built in the military area, which can be directly provided to the army. , also has the power to defend the granary."

"The migration plan for the serfs will also be launched."

"in addition…….."

Lu Luxiu raised various detailed questions and made plans one by one. In the end, Lu Luxiu asked Luther, "Knight Luther, this is the next plan to build the city. Do you have anything to add?" ?”

In private, Lu Luxiu called Luther Luther, but in formal occasions, Lu Luxiu always respected Luther and called Luther Knight.

"The gentlemen here are all very good, I trust you." This is Luther's opening remarks, and the effect is very good.

Not only the officials of the city hall, but even Lu Luxiu puffed up his chest a little, feeling that it was very helpful.After the opening remarks, Luther said again: "There is nothing else to add, just a little bit. In addition to the basic living supplies given to the original family serfs by ordinary families, I want to give them some more supplies to supplement their nutrition and increase them. Enthusiasm. You discuss it and list it.”

Officials were not surprised by Luther's addition.

Luther, Pompey.

This lord is recognized as a benevolent acting lord.

Even the free folk gave Luther a nickname.

Just like the nickname "The Executioner" obtained by the brutal Marquis Parker, it has the style of this world.

Called "The Merciful".

Why not Lord of Mercy, Knight of Mercy.

And called the Merciful, in Luther's view, this is a very strange nickname.

But since everyone thought the nickname was a good word, and Luther was too embarrassed to order a change, it was decided.

Merciful.

Luther, Pompey.

The meeting ended soon, and the construction of the city was no longer a plan, but a task to be implemented, and the Pompeii family took another important step.

Built the city.
