Chapter 18 Shocked Pompeii (Part 2)

Not only Mrs. Sophie.

This is a small knight territory, without so many fancy things, only agriculture is the foundation. Everyone present knows this.

As a blacksmith, Bob's dream is to become a great farmer.

Little Maya is Bob's daughter, and she has also watched farmers farming since she was a child.

In short.

Mrs. Sophie slightly opened her red lips, revealing her white teeth, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have turned into the shape of $$.

It's all money.

Old Sol opened his mouth, as if he saw the most incredible thing.

Teacher Joshua, Magellan, Xiu Xiuya, and Lelouch all looked like this, as if they were printed out of the same mold.

"Luther, is this the "plow" you mentioned? There are actually cows that can plow the fields. Although your plan to fertilize the fields with manure is unreliable, this is possible. We will spend money to buy cows immediately, just buy Bass cows, buy fifty, not a hundred cows."

Old Sol looked excited.

Although he usually looks deep and majestic, he is as excited as a countryman who has just seen a piece of gold.

It's so exciting.

Due to the title, Pompeii has never been big. Not only Old Sol, but all the lords of Pompeii have always been eager to develop their territories and expand their families.

But the results are minimal.

Old Sol had high hopes for Luther, but after hearing Luther's incredible idea of ​​fertilizing the fields with manure and oxen picking up hoes to plow the fields, he immediately turned into disappointment.

He wholeheartedly planned to let Luther go to the capital and join the Knights.

But when he really saw the scene of oxen plowing the fields, this idea was immediately thrown out of his mind. Luther, my son. He is born to be a lord, and he will be the pillar of Pompeii in the future.

Hey, this is my son, Old Sol.

As for how he rejected Luther that day, Old Sol has forgotten it completely.

Luther curled his lips when he heard this. The spring ploughing time is very short. If the caravan sets out to buy cattle now, it will be too late when it comes back. It will have to wait until next year to use them.

Fortunately, he got the support of Mrs. Sophie, otherwise the plan would have to be postponed for a year.

Old Sol is really a slow guy.

But Luther was very happy on the other hand. It was fun to show off this time. Old Sol, you, the country rich man, finally know how powerful I am.

"It seems that I have to spend some time on the Iron Horse Village. I can't catch up this year. But I can cut down forests and build farmland in my spare time. If the Iron Horse Village can be expanded by one or two times, then our family may have one more knight to serve the Pompeii family."

After being shocked, Magellan had some plans in his mind.

Due to the small size of Pompeii, the Pompeii family can provide children to become knights. For example, Luther's generation, Luther, William, and even Mary will receive knight education.

But the Magellan family can only be passed down from generation to generation.

Who doesn't want the family to grow?

Magellan felt that this was an opportunity, so he looked at the "plow" with eyes like seeing gold.

"I really underestimated him. Cows can actually be used to plow the fields, so it seems possible that manure can fertilize the fields. With this two-pronged approach, Pompeii will grow and develop in a few years. If there is an opportunity, it will attract more free people. Then Pompeii may really become a city. And with the strength of a city, it seems possible to seek a title. After all, although the Pompeii family is only a hereditary lord, it comes from the bloodline of the ancient earl and is a pure aristocratic family."

Lelouch's eyes flickered, and he was pleasantly surprised.

He went out to make a living and experienced setbacks. He returned to the countryside of Pompeii, where he was born and raised, in despair. He accepted Luther's invitation and became the mayor of Pompeii.

Originally thought that he was just eating and waiting to die, and by the way, he helped Pompeii develop. With his hard work, he might be able to double or triple Pompeii.

Unexpectedly, the Zhuangkang Avenue was in front of him.

Lelouch looked at Luther with fiery eyes, as if he saw the future.

In short, everyone present was full of shock, hope, and longing.

Facing the shock of Old Sol, and as if he had forgotten that he had rejected Luther, he now shamelessly said that he wanted to buy 100 Bass cows.

Mrs. Sophie rolled her eyes at Old Sol and said angrily: "If I listened to you, sir, where would the cows be. I sent someone to buy a full 60 Bass cows a few days ago, and they will be back soon."

Of course, Old Sol did not forget that he had rejected Luther, he just pretended to forget. Now after hearing what his wife said, Old Sol was a little embarrassed.

But it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.

Old Sol was a very manly man.

Looking at Old Sol's frustrated look, Luther smiled. He turned his head to look at Lelouch and said, "Sixty Bass cattle will arrive soon. Please ask Senior Lelouch to distribute the cattle. Tell them that these cattle are fine as gifts. But next year, we must cut down the forest and reclaim new fields. I hope that the fields in Pompeii will double next year."

"Little Luther, don't worry. The free people care most about the land. In the past, they wanted to reclaim the land, but they didn't have the energy to take care of the farmland. Now that they have oxen, they can't wait to reclaim the land without you telling them. The Pompeii family will definitely grow and develop."

Lelouch said with a little smile.

"That's good." Luther nodded heavily.

Show off, pretend.

No.

It's Luther's job to make the important people in the territory realize the importance of the plow. But this kind of thing is important only in a moment, there is no need to mention it repeatedly.

So in the following time, Luther didn't make much of this matter. Pompeii Territory developed very steadily.

With the efforts of the free people and serfs in each village, the roads in Pompeii Territory were soon repaired. Even in remote places, the roads were flat and wide.

There was not even a pile of human feces on the road.

Under the supervision of each village chief, the free people poured their feces into their own farmland meticulously.

Although they were a little reluctant.

In short, it's the same sentence. They didn't dare to resist Master Luther. They just symbolically resisted in their hearts.

No one believed that feces could really increase the yield of crops.

And just at this time, as spring deepened, a warm south wind blew to Pompeii Territory. Pompeii Territory, located in the south and always warm, ushered in the spring ploughing season.

At this time, sixty Bass cattle came from the northern road.

You should know that the entire Pompeii Territory is very small. Although Pompeii Territory also has some knights, the number has always been small. There are only Luther, Magellan, Old Sol, and even if William and Xiu Xiuya, two quasi-knights, are added.

The meat consumed is not much, and the Pompeii Ranch alone can be self-sufficient.

Purchasing sixty Bass cattle at one time is definitely a big business for Pompeii Territory.

It is unique.

And what will this bring?

Only Luther was grinning.

He was grinning happily.
