Chapter 17: Shocked Pompeii

Little Maya pouted and was a little unhappy. She looked very cute and was wearing a maid outfit, so her pouting look was naturally cute.

Of course, she had reasons to be unhappy. As the daughter of a blacksmith who had served the Pompeii family for generations, it was natural for her to enter the castle and serve as Master Luther's personal maid.

However, after becoming Master Luther's personal maid, it was different from being at home. She had to stay in the castle and rarely went back home.

Today, she rarely saw her father, and she was very happy in her heart.

As a result, her father was holding a piece of wood. Little Maya took a look at the plow in Bob's hand. She didn't know how to describe it, so she could only call it wood.

Holding this piece of wood happily, she ignored her biological daughter who was a maid in the castle, which made her very unhappy.

Then little Maya was a little curious. It turned out that this was called a "plow". What exactly was it for?

Luther was a rough man, so he naturally didn't notice little Maya's resentment. He looked at the plow in Bob's hand and was so happy.

Although I know that making a plow is a natural thing according to Bob's craftsmanship. But it is still worth being happy to see the real thing.

Luther quickly took the plow from Bob's hand and held it in his arms, caressing the plow itself as if he was caressing his lover.

This is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom.

The crystallization of wisdom that will bloom in this world.

In terms of meaning, this thing is much more precious than his lover. With the growth of strength and the rise of status, he can have as many lovers as he wants.

The difficult thing now is the first start-up capital.

Haha.

Bob laughed so hard beside him, but little Maya got goose bumps. Thinking in her heart.

"Luther looks so strange, doesn't he like women, but likes this kind of wood?"

Girls mature early, and little Maya has this strange thought in her heart.

Let's not talk about little Maya. Luther stroked the plow for a while, and then asked Bob solemnly: "How is it, have you tested it?"

"Not really, I sent it to you after I made it." Bob touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"Okay, then let's test it publicly. Uncle Bob, you go outside the castle with the plow. Little Maya, you go to find Butler Ferran and ask him to send someone to the ranch to find a Bass cow."

Luther returned the plow to Bob, and then told the two people.

"Yes."

Bob responded happily and turned and walked out. Little Maya was a little strange, wood? Cow? What on earth is this doing.

However, although little Maya had a lot of thoughts, she went down obediently.

Not long after, Luther knocked on the doors of the castle one by one. Old Thor, Mrs. Sophie, Magellan, Xiu Xiuya, Teacher Qiao Xiu, Lelouch, etc., Luther invited them out to witness the great moment.

This is a naked show-off.

Similarly, it also increased the determination of important figures in the territory to promote the development of his territory.

Thinking back to that time, Luther was so angry when he thought of the irrelevant conversation with Old Sol at that time.

You are an old-fashioned leopard.

I asked you to support me in developing the territory, but you refused. Now that I have a complete plow, I wonder if you are shocked to death.

There are also Mrs. Sophie and Lelouch. Although they support his territory development plan, they are more or less skeptical.

The time to witness the results has come. I believe that after seeing the results of the plow, they will be full of confidence in the development of the territory.

Maybe I can get more gold coins from the hands of the miser Old Sol to support my territory development plan.

Developing agriculture is the beginning of Luther, it is really the beginning.

Luther is a man who wants to become a great nobleman. Pompeii will become a real city sooner or later.

Luther called these people out and came to an open space outside the castle. In fact, there are such open spaces outside the castle, forming a circle.

Although such an open space is conducive to the enemy's attack, it is also conducive to a wide field of vision.

In short, it is a wasteland.

"Little Luther, I have an important document to deal with. If you don't give a reason, I will let you run around the castle a hundred times." Old Sol was a little dissatisfied.

As a knight lord, he has a lord above him, the Baron. Recently, some things have happened in the baron's territory, and official documents are relatively close.

He still has a lot of things to do and has no time to fool around with his son.

In Old Sol's mind, Luther is just fooling around. He also has an obsession in his mind, which is to send Luther to the Knights of the Royal Capital for training.

Conduct formal military training instead of letting Luther do some weird things in the countryside.

Teacher Joshua, Lelouch, Mrs. Sophie, Magellan and others don't care. Anyway, Luther asked them to come, so they came.

In addition to these people, there are Bob holding a plow and his daughter Maya.

Mrs. Sophie looked at Bob holding the plow, thinking about something. She was much smarter than Old Sol. Thinking of the plan Luther had mentioned before, her eyes lit up a little.

"Is this the result?"

Pompeii Territory is a territory mainly based on farming. Due to the limited population, it has not been well developed. If it can save manpower.

In short, follow Luther's development plan.

The future is very good.

After waiting for a while, the old butler Ferran came, and he also brought a middle-aged man, who led a cow.

This is the Bass cattle that Luther just mentioned. This is a very strong and good-quality cattle breed with extremely high economic value.

Especially its character is relatively docile.

This is the cattle breed that Luther likes as a working cattle. This time, Mrs. Sophie sent out of the territory to buy sixty working cattle, which are also this kind of cattle.

Seeing the cattle, Luther glanced at Old Sol again. It was time to show off. Luther said to Bob, "Uncle Bob, let's get started."

"Okay."

Bob nodded, put down the plow, prepared the rest of the tools, put the plow on the Bass bull, then Bob held the plow with one hand, waved the whip with the other hand, and started to drive the bull.

"Moo." The Bass bull swept its tail, turned back and looked at Bob docilely, then slowly walked forward, and the plow began to work.

The originally abandoned land was very hard, but under the action of the plow, the soil turned up one after another.

And this is also the most important work of farmers in a year.

Loosening the soil.

Farmers in this era did not have tools such as plows, let alone the concept of plowing cattle. They waved hoes year after year and used hoes to loosen the soil.

Therefore, although there are many forests around the entire Pompeii Territory that can be cut down and become farmland. However, due to insufficient labor, there are not many farmlands in Pompeii Territory.

Now that oxen have come out, with the help of the cows, the farmland in the territory can be doubled or even tripled.
