The Extraordinary Earl

Michel looked at the greatly frightened villagers, laughed, and patted the Bass cow's butt. The Bass cow seemed a little dissatisfied, turned its head and mooed.

"You have also seen that this is a tool invented by the great Master Luther. It is called a "plow". When used in conjunction with oxen, you can plow the fields. And the kind Master Luther distributed five Bass oxen to us, which means I believe you also know what it is about.”

Michelle smiled like a child, full of joy.

The villagers reacted one after another, and their eyes lit up. They gathered around the Bass Cow, and it seemed that what they saw was not a cow, but a golden bull.

A cow that shines with gold.

"I know that our spring plowing this year will be extremely easy when we see Bass cows plowing the fields with ease. Great Master Luther and the great Pompeii family. I am lucky to grow up in the territory of the Pompeii family."

Some villagers said enthusiastically.

"Shut up, you are so stupid. This cow saves our energy, and we can spare more energy to take care of the fields. Next year we will start cutting down forests and building more farmland. My family can farmland. Double, no, double.”

Some villagers took a longer view and laughed at the villagers who had spoken before, and spoke in a more enthusiastic tone.

"That's right. With more fields and more output, our children will grow stronger, and it's okay to even have more. We will become richer and richer. We will no longer have to worry about having too many children. If there are too many, we will have to throw away the thin children when we can no longer feed them.”

Some villagers said with tears.

That's right.

This is a very primitive world. If a family has too many children and they don't have enough to eat, parents will ruthlessly throw away the thin children and feed the stronger children.

The plow invented by Luther is absolutely significant in terms of significance.

"Don't be too happy. The Bass cow is a very precious breed of cattle. They need to eat special rations. If we want it to be productive, we must first learn to take care of it. And we need to open up more farmland. Just these five animals The Bass cattle are not enough. After this autumn harvest, we begged Master Luther to raise our own money to buy more cattle. We must cultivate twice as much land as this year next year.”

Michel used his prestige as the village chief to suppress the chaotic villagers and announce the incident.

After hearing this, the villagers nodded.

If Basi cattle were just a type of beef cattle, it would be impossible for the villagers to pool their money to buy the cattle. But since Basi cattle are now a labor force that can plow the fields, even if they sell iron and suffer from hunger for a year, they still have to collect enough money next year to buy five more Basi cattle.

The more fields you cultivate, the better your life will be.

At this time, a smile broke out on Michel's face again, and he said: "Besides, since the great Master Luther can invent such a magical tool, then I think what he said about manure fertilizing the fields must be true. And this time I I heard that not only human excrement can fertilize the fields, but also some bird excrement and livestock excrement. Now that Basi cattle help you plow the fields, we can organize manpower to dig out dung in the forest and fertilize the land maybe this year. The harvest will increase by 30%.”

The villagers were stunned for a moment, and then they all let out strange screams.

"Yes, since the great Master Luther invented this magical tool, then what he said must be correct. Manure fertilizes the fields."

“So it turns out bird droppings are okay too?”

"That's it, let's get started immediately."

The villagers planned to leave one after another to recruit helpers to collect all kinds of feces. At this time, Michel stopped the villagers and summoned them to build a house for Bas Niu to live in.

The cows must be settled first before we can talk about the future.

Yo yo yo, our Bass cow is simply a golden cow.

And this kind of thing happened not only in Tiema Tun, but also in the other nine villages, and even among the serfs.

Luther changed from Young Master Luther to the great Young Master Luther.

The prestige of the Pompeii family and Luther's personal prestige were increasing.

If Luther immediately became the lord of the Pompeii family, then in the minds of the people, he would probably immediately become the most outstanding and greatest lord of Pompeii.

Luther the Great, Pompeii.

…………

Five days later.

Near Pompeii Castle, Town Hall.

That's right, the preliminary construction of the great Pompeii's town hall has been completed. This is a two-story villa building.

There are twenty rooms inside, including office rooms, conference rooms, toilets, etc.

It covers a large area and is majestic. However, due to limited conditions, the current city hall is mainly made of wood and has not been painted. The exterior is the natural color of wood.

There are many rooms in the city hall, but there are only two or three big cats and kittens. Currently there are only Mayor Lelouch, his four assistants, a few errand boys, and a team of ten guards.

The internal structure of the city hall is also relatively simple.

In the mayor's office, Luther leaned against the window. Looking out from this window, the scenery he saw was almost the same as that of Pompeii's castle.

Pieces of farmland and people working on the farmland.

The Bas cattle have captured the hearts of the people, and new farming methods have been spread. Coupled with manure fertilization, I believe this year's harvest will be good.

Looking to the future, Pompeii’s revenue will increase several times next year.

And Luther was even more shameless. He seemed to see not farmland, but houses, even villas.

In a few years, this will definitely become a city center location.

Pompeii would become a large city and commerce would flourish. And agriculture will not decline. In this primitive and backward world, agriculture must not give up.

Without food, we will be at the mercy of others.

Agriculture will not disappear, it will also thrive. It will just be far away from the city. Pompeii was a city with prosperous commerce and a large population, plus vast farmland surrounding it.

The future of Pompeii.

It's a bright future.

"Little Luther, the people have accepted the new way of farming with cattle. They also believe in the "fantasy" of manure-fertilized fields. They believe that Pompeii's farmland and tax revenue will expand two or three times next year. With the increase in taxes, , Pompeii can raise more civilian knights, and the children of civilians are more likely to survive. In less than twenty years, Pompeii's territory will expand several times, and the population will also expand several times. With good luck, through various means. Gain the population, or even increase it tenfold. I believe you will own a city, but to own a city, you must have at least the title of baron. Do you have any ideas to persuade or bribe the House of Nobles to promote your Pompeii family? Title?"

Lelouch, who was sitting in the mayor's seat in the office, asked seriously.

Not long ago, Lelouch didn't think Luther could own a city, but now that there are plows, if fertilizing the fields with manure is really effective, then Lelouch thinks it's not impossible for Luther to own a city.

Under such circumstances, Lelouch felt the need to make suggestions for the Pompeii family.

Only with the title of baron can one own a city's fief.

In addition, it is necessary to cultivate more knight families similar to the Iron Horse family who are loyal to the Pompeii family.

Lelouch even felt that if he got married and gave birth to a few strong young men in the future, he might be able to seek a knighthood and become knight vassals under the Pompeii family.

Knight Bonaparte collar.

Yo, not bad.

Luther came back to his senses. He took his eyes back from the vast farmland, then turned his head and smiled at Lelouch and said, "Twenty years? That's too long. I think three to five years at most." , I can own a city, so at this time we have to plan carefully, how can we have enough magic potions and other resources to become a powerful knight during this period of time. In other words, we can bribe the House of Lords and upgrade our Pompeii family’s territory to a baron family.”

Lelouch was stunned.

Is this ambition a bit too big?

Taking it too much for granted?

Do you think that it is so easy for a hereditary knight family to become a baron family from a tadpole to a frog? Did you run the House of Lords?

But it’s quite exciting to think about it.

If Luther can become a baron within three to five years, does that mean he will become a hereditary noble within ten years?

Yo, I'm a little carried away too.
