Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 60 The Returner

Pompeii, with new changes.

Not so long ago, Pompeii was a small, rural territory.

Of course it's still rural.But Pompeii at that time was really miserable.There is only one decent building in the territory, Pompeii Castle.

Except for the castle, there are stretches of farmland, and everything is full of rural flavor.

Although the large farmland provides a wide field of vision, it is comfortable to watch.If you live in a big city for a long time, it seems good to live in the countryside full of rural flavor.

But if you live in the country for a long time, you will of course hate the scenery and life.

Although there are many disadvantages in the city, many people still prefer to live in the city.

Pompeii used to be a rural village, but now it is a rural town.I saw that centering on Pompeii Castle, the construction of the city wall started.

Worker, the stone was purchased from Kaiyue City a few days ago, because the building of a city requires a huge amount of stone, so we bought it in batches.

In addition to the workers, those who helped to build the city also recruited farmers in the territory. After the autumn harvest, the farmers had nothing to do and just recruited them to build the city wall together.

There is no need to pay wages, just two meals at noon and afternoon.

Because of Luther's reputation as a "merciful man", the peasants were happy to serve Luther.

The construction of the city wall is of course slow, after all, the amount of work is very large.It has been built for ten days, but the city wall is not yet one-fifth complete.

Roads were built along with the walls.

Pompeii is a newly built city, so it can be planned in advance. Under the planning of the mayor Lelouch, Pompeii will be centered on Pompeii Castle. There will be a square building in front of the castle, and a square building will be erected on the square. Sculpture, the sculpture has not yet been designed.

This square will provide residents with leisure and walking.

There will be a residential area around it. The residential area has been planned, and dozens of houses have already stood up. These houses are provided for the knights and scholars who are currently serving the Pompeii family.

Of course, the residential area will not only be so big, because according to the design, the city will provide housing and activity space for a population of 5000.

Residential areas will spread throughout the entire city.

It's just a residential area around Pompeii Castle, just a high-end community.In addition, there are four military areas in the city.

A series of facilities such as commercial streets, city halls, markets, public toilets, sewers, etc.

Of course, such a large plan cannot be completed overnight, so at present, only the city wall and the main road in the city are being built.

The project will last at least several months, and some facilities may not be completed even next year.

Because the city of Pompeii is planned to have a permanent population of [-], the current urban population is very small. Without an urban population, building houses is useless, and the Pompeii family cannot withstand such a large consumption.

Therefore, as the urban population slowly increases, the houses will gradually rise.

And how to attract the urban population to live in Pompeii is another tricky thing.

No matter for now.

Luther was very satisfied with the current situation. With the recruitment of 1 people, plus the original 2000 people, Pompeii already had a farming population of [-].

Once Pompeii is officially completed and the infrastructure is established, there should be a way to attract the city's population.

Speaking of the 1 people recruited, [-] of the [-] strongholds have been established, and there are still a group of serfs who have not arrived.

This last batch of serfs will be led by Ston Pompey himself and return to Pompeii.

Just today.

Today's weather is a little bit unfavorable, gloomy, gloomy and scary, but fortunately there is no sign of rain, and because of the rare cloudy sky, Pompeii brings a cool feeling.

With the deepening of autumn, the weather has actually turned a lot cooler.

Artisans, workers are still building walls, roads.Luther led Xiu Xiuya and a group of guards on horses to welcome Ston Pompeii back.

There is also a little one in his arms, a little one twisting and twisting restlessly.

Soon the group arrived at the edge of Pompeii's territory. There was an endless forest in front of them. There was only one straight forest road connecting Pompeii's territory and the barony.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Ston Pompeii still hadn't arrived.

Little loli Lily, Pompeii is a little impatient.

"Luther, why hasn't Dad come back?"

Lily grabbed the mane on the horse's head vigorously, almost driving the horse crazy. Luther managed to control the horse, and grabbed Lily's mischievous little hands.

"I only received news that Knight Ston is about to come back. I don't know when he will come back, maybe it was delayed for some time because of something?"

Luther said angrily.

"I didn't ask you to come, you forced me to come."

Luther said with a look of disgust.

"You despise me?" Lily heard it this time, staring at Luther with a dangerous aura exuding from her body.

Luther felt a pain in his forehead. This little loli held grudges, was stingy, and persistent.

Fortunately, the sound of horseshoes dispelled the embarrassing atmosphere.

Luther's eyes lit up, and he said quickly, "Here we are."

"You lied to me?" Lily looked at Luther suspiciously, because Luther was a knight, so his hearing was much better than Lily's.

"Da da da."

Soon, the sound of horseshoes came.Lily's eyes lit up, and she struggled to get off, but she couldn't control her, so Luther had to lift Lily and get off the horse.

As soon as Lily's short legs landed, she let go of her feet and flew forward, waving her little hands and shouting, "Dad, Dad."

There were tears in the big eyes, both happy and wronged.

Looking at the appearance of little Lolita, a little affection emerged in Luther's heart. Apart from being stingy, vengeful, and persistent, there is actually nothing wrong with Lily.

Because he lost his mother since he was a child, Cavaliers doted on Lily very much, which caused Lily to be bold and lively.

Especially like to play pranks.

A glitch, but not a problem.

Living with Knight Ston all year round, Lily has a deep sense of dependence on Knight Ston. Luther didn't know it before, but these days, Luther knows that Lily actually misses Knight Ston very much.

Often a person hides in the room and cries.

But Luther hadn't seen it, mainly heard it from Mary, that sister couldn't hide things.

"Hi, my poor little one." Luther quickly saw Knight Ston. He was sitting on a horse, very mighty, and he hadn't changed from the appearance when he left.

Seeing his daughter galloping towards him, Cavalierston's eyes flashed with distress, and then he laughed loudly and got off his horse, picked up Lily, and held her high in the air.

"Giggle." Lily giggled happily, dancing.

After the father and daughter played around for a while, Cavalierston put Lily down, came to Luther, and bent down to Luther and said, "Cavalier Luther, I brought back the last batch of serfs."

"Thank you, Knight Knight." Luther also bowed slightly, and then said consolingly: "I will give you a month's vacation, and enjoy the vacation with Lily."

"Ok."

There was a contented smile on Cavalierston's face, no matter how long the days with his daughter were, it was never enough.

Ston Knight is a super responsible dad.

With the return of the Knights of Ston and the last batch of serfs, the construction of Pompeii No. 20 stronghold will officially begin.

It is also the first phase of Luther's population recruitment plan completed.

Next year the wheat from Pompeii will be astonishing.
