Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 6 Pompeii Collar

Pompeii collar is a typical knight collar.

The so-called knight collar is equivalent to miniature.

Among them, there were about 500 serfs directly under Pompey's family, and about [-] ordinary civilians.It does not include the following populations.

The serfs and commoners combined only amounted to [-] people.

If you use Luther's previous life as a comparison, then such a large place is actually just a village.

But with such a small population, the land area is quite large.Because the world's productivity is very backward, the food production is extremely low, and there is no large area of ​​arable land to feed such a large population.

So the territory of the entire Pompeii territory is roughly equivalent to half a small town.

Pompeii Castle is the center of this small town.According to Luther's memory, the surrounding area of ​​Pompeii was surrounded by forests.

There is only one way out to the north.

To put it simply, the entire Pompeii Territory is an isolated existence.The Pompeii family is a local tyrant who has rooted here for generations.

Even if it is called a king, it is not too much.

Although the Pompeii-collared sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.The Pompeii family occupied about one-third of the land for farming, and handed it over to their own serfs for farming.

The so-called serfs are almost like slaves.Help the host family cultivate the land and work without paying wages, and only need to give them the lowest level of survival materials.

These lands are an important financial income of the Pompeii family.

On the territory directly belonging to the Pompeii family, there is also a winemaking manor, which produces ordinary ale.

A ranch for Pompey's family and meat for Magellan's family.

Meat products in this world are very important, because knights need a strong body, and it is very important to eat meat every day.

There is also a wheat flour mill.

A blacksmith shop.

A grocery store dealing in daily necessities, rice, oil and salt.

The blacksmith shop and general store are near the castle, and others are scattered around the territory.

These were all properties that belonged directly to Pompey's family.

The others are free people attached to the Pompeii family, that is, civilians.The Pompeii family numbered these civilians and divided them into ten villages.

They are one village in Pompeii and nine villages in Pompeii.

By the way, there is another village called Tiema Village.That is, the unofficial entrustment of the Pompey family to the territory of the Magellan family.

Therefore, although the Magellan family does not have an official surname, in fact, many people call it the Iron Horse family in private.

The ten villages in the territory are basically responsible for farming, with a small number of part-time loggers and hunters.These free people only need to pay a certain tax on the territory, and live a much more comfortable life than serfs.

However, because the grocery store, brewery, blacksmith shop, etc. in the territory are exclusively operated by Pompeii's family, when the free folk need to use these things, they have to spend a certain amount of money to buy them.

In other words, in fact, the entire Pompeii territory, whether it is a serf or a free citizen, is actually squeezed by the Pompeii family.

The Pompeii family is like a crab, it is a rampant existence.

But this is very normal in this world, nobles are born to be superior to others.Even Luther heard that some perverted nobles enacted laws in the territory, called "the right of the first night".

As the name suggests, a bride who wants to get married in each territory must first have sex with the lord before she can have a bridal chamber with the groom.

Unless the groom's family pays certain taxes, this can be avoided.

It's inhumane.

However, Luther also heard that this kind of ridiculous law can only be enacted by a very small number of brutal lords. Most nobles in this world are not so cruel.

Ok.

All in all, Luther crossed over and became the eldest son of a knight lord's family, not a fart of a commoner's family, which is simply great.

Cool, don't, don't.

Now is the time of winter and spring, the land is still very hard, because some places are still frozen, so it is not the time for farming.

At this time, no matter if they were freemen or serfs, they generally rested at home.

Few people even go hunting, because the prey are very thin at this time.Animals who have survived a long winter are starving and have no fat.

All in all, my wife is hot on the kang.It's okay to have sex with your mother-in-law. This is the daily life of the people.

Therefore, there are few people on the road in Pompeii.Occasionally, I saw people, and when they saw Master Luther's battle, they immediately knelt down on the side of the road to meet the noble lord.

Luther had never experienced such a battle, but he had never seen pork, and he had seen pigs running.

A great man said a sentence, which is very, very classic.

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

Although Luther is the eldest son of a knight lord's family, the future knight lord and noble lord can extort money in the territory, and can even formulate the "right of the first night" law.

But as a visionary and insightful future nobleman, it is a very correct choice to show his attitude towards the people.

Besides, if Luther wants to climb up, developing the territory has become an important way.Raising one's own people to be white and fat will have the strength to help the Pompeii family become a top family.

Therefore, Luther is very close to the people.

No, it happened that Luther met a group of people.

When these people saw Luther and his party, especially Luther on the horse, and Xiu Xiuya, they immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop.

The common people didn't know how to address these two masters, and they couldn't even tell the young master Luther apart.

Although Old Sol ordered a three-day carnival in the territory because of Luther's promotion to knighthood, but Luther, the young master, basically didn't show up.

All in all, the commoners knew that the two riders must be big shots in the territory, but they didn't know how to address them, so they could only kneel down and kowtow.

Luther lowered his head and glanced at these civilians.The minions and warriors of the Pompeii family in the future.

According to Luther's memory in this life, he has hardly been out of Pompeii since he was born.Therefore, Luther had no impression of the outside world or the lives of the people.

But seeing these people, Luther felt that the Pompey family's rule was not bad.

I saw that the clothes these freedmen were wearing were very thick. Although they were covered with patches, at least they would not freeze.People are fat and thin, tall and short.

His face wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either.

There were no cases of malnutrition.

Luther felt that if the nobles in this world were divided into levels, then the Pompeii family should belong to the conscientious noble lords.

Thinking of this, Luther immediately felt full of confidence.

Pompeii's family has fine traditions and a good foundation. It only needs a little bit of advice from him, the future knight lord, and it will immediately become a towering tree.

The future of the Pompeii family is at least a big noble like the Earl of the Field.

Ok.
