Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 76 The Book of Sages Delivered to Your Door (Rolling for Tickets)
Luther really felt the heavy maternal love with his body.

The weight of the clothes is not light.

Luther and Xiu Xiuya dismounted and entered the city hall, but Xiu Xiuya stayed in the lobby of the city hall, and Luther went up to the second floor to Lelouch's office.

There is a charcoal fire in the office, which makes the office very warm.But Lelouch was still wrapped in a thick blanket, and sneezed from time to time.

Poor Lelouch has a cold.

Knights are not afraid of the severe cold, but Lu Luxiu is an ordinary person and cannot feel this benefit.

"In such a cold day, since you have caught a cold, go home and rest. What are you doing in the city hall?" Luther glanced at Lelouchu's expression and asked in confusion, and took his hat, scarf, mask, etc. They were all untied and placed on the hanger by the door.

"There are still some things that have not been dealt with. Besides, staying at home is even cooler. At least someone made me a cup of tea in the city hall." Lu Luxiu shrugged and said.

This is also a poor man. There is only a father and no mother, and there is no servant in the house.Well, let's make City Hall the house, and someone will take care of him.

Luther sighed, and said: "Looking at your pitiful appearance, I can't help but think, you might as well marry a wife. There are so many knights in the territory now, and there are many good girls among their families. And as the mayor of Pompeii, you have a very high status, and it is not difficult to marry a good girl."

"Let's talk about it later." Lu Luxiu was not very interested, and a look of sadness flashed in his eyes.Luther guessed that the mayor had been emotionally hurt when he was wandering outside.

This kind of thing can only be figured out by oneself, and there is no way for others to talk too much.

Anyway, Luther won't be emotionally hurt. He is a scumbag, destined to embrace the man in the forest.

"What else do you have to do in this damn weather?" Luther asked instead.

"How is it? Is there any gain from this trip to inspect the territory?" Lu Luxiu asked rhetorically.

"There is nothing to gain. Now that the new field has been developed, we just wait for the spring to plant crops. The territory is very quiet. By the way, I also sent some gifts to those lonely old people and families in need."

Luther said.

In fact, giving gifts is Luther's purpose. That's what he does. He gives warmth in winter and coolness in summer. He enjoys buying people's hearts.

"As expected of a merciful man from Pompeii." Lelouch praised sincerely.Regardless of what Luther's starting point is, lords who can care about people's livelihood from time to time are absolutely rare in the Kingdom of Prussia.

"My job is to think about agriculture. According to the normal situation, the spring should be planting wheat." Lu Luxiu said immediately.

"Puff, puff."

At this time, the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was burning vigorously, making a little sound.

"Don't you think you shouldn't grow wheat?" Luther heard what Lu Luxiu meant, and asked with interest.

"I think other crops should be planted. For example, I strongly recommend planting rapeseed and some olive trees by the way, and then plant some other crops in the next year."

Lu Luxiu said.

"Planting rapeseed, olive trees, do you want to extract oil? That's true. At present, all kinds of groceries such as oil and salt in the territory need to be purchased from Kaiyue City. Not only do they need to be transported here, but the price is not as cheap as that produced by ourselves. Salt Forget it, we don’t produce salt, but oil and some other crops can be grown.”

Luther touched his chin.

In fact, it's not just oil. At present, because the number of knights in the territory has increased, the demand for meat has also increased. At present, the supply of Pompeii's small ranches has exceeded demand, and it needs to be imported from Kaiyue City.

However, if rapeseed is planted and the oil is squeezed next year, another problem will arise.An oil extraction workshop must be established in the territory.

This is not the job of the city hall, but the business of the Pompey family.

How much money can a territory make?A well-managed territory is priceless.Don't just focus on the little tax.

"It's not only the benefit of self-sufficiency." Lu Luxiu shook his head, then said with a smile: "There is also a benefit, if our territory only produces wheat, we must not consume it all by ourselves. It will have to be transported to Kaiyue City to sell next year, And the selling price will definitely not be too high, after all, those middlemen also have to earn the difference. And it also saves shipping costs."

Luther understood that from then on, although Pompeii collar produced wheat, it was self-sufficient and did not plan to export it.The oil that originally needed to be imported has become self-sufficient.

In this way, the two parties save the price difference.

On the other hand, if Pompeii's family opened an oil-pressing workshop to buy vegetables, fry the oil and sell it to farmers, it would be a considerable income.

Moreover, Luther also saw another way to make a fortune.

Oil is one aspect, and all kinds of food, clothing, housing and transportation are another aspect.Except for some villas belonging to the knights, the whole city belongs to Luther.

How many stores can be established and how much business can be done.

How many factories can be run and how much money can be made.

Unknown.

All in all it should be a lot.When Luther thought about it, he felt his blood boil. My potion is, sooner or later, I will take drugs and become a great knight.

"I understand. The city hall will be responsible for planning. After the plan is completed, rape seeds will be purchased from Kaiyue City. But there is one thing, you have to teach farmers how to grow rapeseed."

Luther nodded and explained again.

"Don't worry about this, I know it well." Lu Luxiu replied confidently.

"Ah, cut." The confident man, handsome, sneezed loudly within three seconds, and then quickly wrapped the blanket around his body tightly.

"Poor guy." Luther lamented for Lelouch in his heart.

After continuing to chat for a while, Luther left the city hall and returned to Pompeii Castle. He planned to meet his mother, Mrs. Sophie.

Let's discuss the establishment of an oil-pressing workshop in the territory, and the expansion of the scale of the pastures in the territory. By the way, I would like to ask about the situation of Pompeii wine.

But before that, Luther met a person, an unexpected person, the robber Kurd.

north.

On the forest road connecting Pompeii and Baron Barton, a huge team is slowly marching towards Pompeii.

This is the purchasing caravan of Pompeii's family. In the past, Pompeii's family had a purchasing caravan, responsible for purchasing daily groceries, salt, cloth, oil, etc. in Kaiyue City.

And as the size of Pompeii's family increased, the size of the purchasing caravan also increased many times.

And among the many carriages, there was a person lying on one of the carriages, a person who claimed to be a resident of Pompeii, called Arnold.

Arno was seriously injured.

His belly was ripped apart, as if he had been poisoned, and his life was in danger. It seemed that he had only one breath left.

The caravan had never seen anyone survive such injuries.

"This person is probably a knight. Only the strong body of a knight can make him survive. It's just a pity, I probably can't survive it."

The people in the caravan thought to themselves.
