The Extraordinary Earl

Chapter 15 Development of the Plow

The blacksmith shop is located on the west side of Pompeii Castle, next to the grocery store. The sundries, rice, oil and salt sold in the grocery store, and the farm tools, swords and ironware forged in the blacksmith shop.

All of them are exclusively operated by the Pompeii family, and these two shops are also one of the important financial incomes of the Pompeii family.

There is no way, this is the right of the noble lords in Prussia. The Pompeii family can even make their own laws, not to mention these exclusive operations.

Although it is early spring and the weather is cold. But there are still people coming and going outside the grocery store and the blacksmith shop, all of whom are free people who come to buy goods.

These free people took a look at Luther, and immediately separated on both sides, bent down and prepared to kneel down.

These days, Luther has been active in the territory from time to time. Many villagers know Luther. Even those who don’t know Luther have heard of him, the heir of the Pompeii family.

Master Luther is a person who likes to walk around and patrol the territory.

He is also very kind, and from time to time he will take out wheat cakes to give to those sick and weak people.

If compared with his father, Old Sol, Luther is naturally more vivid.

First of all, although Old Sol is strong in martial arts, he also has a reputation and prestige, and he is kind to the people in the territory.

But Old Sol is a warrior after all, and the people are more in awe of him than respectful.

But it is different for Luther, and the people are still very grateful to him.

Master Luther will definitely become a kind lord in the future. It is really great to live in the territory of the Pompeii family.

Of course, because of the use of manure to fertilize the fields, the people also talked a little behind the scenes, but in the eyes of the people, this is all because Master Luther is still young, doing things a little rashly and naively.

This is harmless.

In short, although Luther has not yet inherited the Pompeii territory, in the eyes of the people in the territory, Luther is a kind person and a qualified heir.

Because he was active near the castle, Luther did not bring guards this time. Looking at the people who were about to kneel down, Luther waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's so cold, it's not easy for everyone to go out. You don't need to bow, just buy groceries and go back quickly."

After that, Luther walked into the blacksmith shop.

"Master Luther is so kind."

"God will bless the Pompeii family to keep the fire burning."

The people were grateful.

Luther entered the blacksmith shop. Outside the blacksmith shop, people were buying farm tools and were greeted by a young man. Inside the blacksmith shop, a middle-aged uncle was forging iron.

Ding, ding, the sound of hammers hitting iron tools was endless.

The hot charcoal fire was burning, and the uncle was sweating profusely and his face was red.

This is a strong uncle who looks like a cow. He is also very tall, but his appearance is a little unflattering. The only feature is that he is a little fierce.

It is hard to imagine that such a big and strong guy can actually give birth to a daughter as cute as little Maya.

"Could it be the child of the neighbor, Mr. Wang?" Luther had doubts in his heart.

This middle-aged uncle was, of course, the blacksmith master, Uncle Bob. The young man who was looking after the business over there was Bob's eldest son. By the way, there was also a young man pulling the bellows next to him, who was Bob's second son.

Together with Bob's wife and his daughter, Maya, this was the blacksmith family of Pompeii.

The blacksmiths who had been working for the Pompeii family for hundreds of years, if nothing unexpected happened, the eldest and second sons would continue to serve Luther.

"Master Luther, why are you here?" After seeing Luther, Bob hurriedly put down the hammer in his hand and asked with concern.

Unlike ordinary people, as the royal blacksmith of the Pompeii family, Bob and Luther were very familiar with each other.

Bob's two sons also put down their work and saluted respectfully.

"It's something, Uncle Bob, can we talk about it?" Luther said politely.

"Master Luther is too polite. Just tell old Bob if you have anything to say." Bob patted his chest, and his strong chest muscles collided with his rough hands, making a bang bang bang sound.

Then Bob told his two sons, put down the hammer, and invited Luther to the house behind the blacksmith shop.

This is the blacksmith's house, with a simple layout. There is only a table and a few chairs in the hall. Bob's wife doesn't seem to be there, so there is nothing to entertain.

Bob poured a bowl of water for Luther as a treat.

"Master Luther, do you have any instructions?" Bob also sat down and asked Luther across the table.

"Uncle Bob, do you think this can be made?" Luther took out a piece of sheepskin prepared in advance. On the slightly dim but still white parchment, there was a pattern drawn.

It was a thing that was considered a plow, but it was not.

Luther wanted to make a plow, but in fact Luther had never studied this kind of thing, so he could only rely on a little memory to draw such a thing that seemed to be.

There is no way. Luther was an ordinary person before he crossed over. He didn't know everything.

After hearing this, Bob immediately took the parchment carefully. He thought it was some secret weapon. After all, although he worked part-time to make farm tools for the people, his main job was to be a blacksmith who made weapons and armor for the Pompeii family.

After looking at it for a while, Bob's face showed a tangled look. He looked up at Luther helplessly and asked: "Master Luther, I really can't tell what it is. Can you explain it to me?"

Luther was not surprised. As an indigenous person, it would be strange if Bob could see this thing at a glance. So Luther took the parchment back from Bob's hand and pointed at the pattern and said.

"This is a tool. Look, there is a cow in front, and the cow is slowly moving forward. The person behind is holding this thing, holding a whip and driving the cow. The pointed thing below can use the power of the cow to loosen the soil. In this way, farmers don't have to work hard to swing a hoe to plow the fields."

Luther didn't know how to explain it. He used both hands and made movements while explaining.

Don't say it, the description is quite perfect.

Although Bob looks like a big fool, he is actually very smart. His daughter Maya is a smart and clever child. Although she is Luther's personal maid, she can sometimes control Luther.

She is a cute, bold and smart maid.

The two sons are also very smart.

This is inherited from Bob.

Bob listened to Luther's explanation and immediately thought of such a picture in his mind, a docile cow in front, followed by a farmer behind, holding the plow and slowly loosening the soil.

Hold the grass. What is this operation.

Bob stood up immediately, his face flushed, his neck thick, his eyes wide open, like a gorilla in heat, ready for a showdown between male gorillas at any time.

In short, extremely excited.

Luther was startled and thought speechlessly in his heart.

"Although the plow is indeed a world-shaking thing for farming, you don't have to be so excited, Uncle Bob, it will scare the children."
