Chapter 193 The Voice of the Pompeii Family (Part 2)

"Tap, tap, tap."

At this time, the sound of fingers tapping on the table sounded. Lelouch and the officials turned their heads and looked at Luther.

Although Lelouch was the mayor of Pompeii, everyone knew that the only one who could make the final decision was the acting lord in front of him, the next generation of Pompeii knights.

Moreover, the Pompeii family gradually became stronger because of Luther, and the officials also trusted Luther very much.

"We can't let speculators act recklessly, but we can't stop the middle class and the rich who really want to live in Pompeii. Let's make a law."

"Pompeii welcomes everyone to develop in Pompeii, but every house in Pompeii must be occupied, whether they live in it themselves or the servants live in it temporarily. If no one moves in within a month after the house is purchased, and the occupancy time does not exceed eight months within a year, then a 50% tax on the house price will be levied on the house."

Luther said.

The officials thought about it and found that this method is indeed feasible. First of all, this will not stop the middle class and the rich who really want to live in Pompeii.

Living eight months a year is not too difficult to do.

Secondly, those speculators can also get houses, but they must hire people to live in the houses. If they are servants in their own homes, it will bring consumption.

If people are hired to live in Pompeii, it will bring jobs.

If it cannot be done, 50% of the house price will be levied as a retaliatory tax.

The most important thing is that in a piece of land with a lord, the lord can specify the law. What Luther said now is the law, and even the king cannot refute it.

"Okay, I will issue a notice and announce this law. But Luther, this is just a temporary solution to this matter. The more important thing is that we need more manufacturing to create jobs. You have to think about it carefully."

The mayor slammed the table and reminded Luther.

"I know."

Luther rubbed his temples and felt a little tired.

Alas, it is not easy to develop a city.

There is no such thing as a newspaper in this world, but this does not prevent the government from issuing notices. There are notice boards designed on many streets in Pompeii.

Under Lelouch's initiative, this law was officially issued, and many employees of the city hall were sent to post it on various notice boards.

This incident caused some sensation.

"Damn it, isn't my house bought in vain?"

In front of a notice board, there were some people. One of them was a middle-aged man with a red nose and a very decent dress. He threw away the handkerchief in his hand and stamped his feet in hatred.

His name is Albus, a noble from Silver Wing. He has no other skills, but he inherited a legacy from his parents, and relied on a little cleverness to specialize in speculative trading.

This time he saw the future potential of Pompeii and bought two villas in the center of Pompeii in one fell swoop, intending to wait for appreciation.

Waiting for the storm of the hot spring resort.

But obviously this speculation was unsuccessful. At least the city hall of Pompeii is not so easy to deal with.

In order to buy these two villas, Albus not only spent money, but also paid some taxes. What lies before Albus is that he either sells the two villas and loses the tax in vain.

Or he hires someone to help him take care of the villas.

No matter what choice Albus makes, he needs to continue to pay for Pompeii. And the storm of the hot spring resort needs to wait for more than ten months, and it is also possible that it will die in the womb.

"I sell one and keep one." Albus made a decision with hatred, and he had a lot of resentment for the word Pompeii.

There are many speculators like Albus. These people either retreated or chose to wait and see. No matter what they did, they contributed to the development of Pompeii.

And the housing prices in Pompeii have also been stabilized.

There are also some middle-class people who really want to develop in Pompeii, who are more excited.

The Arna family is one of them.

The Arna family came in a carriage, followed by a coachman, five male and female servants, and a servant's child.

The Arna family is not aristocrats, they are just wealthy civilians, middle class.

The male owner of the house, Arna, was originally a small businessman in Sparta, running an antique shop inherited from his ancestors, and his business was pretty good.

However, with the brutality of Marquis Parker, Arna also became one of the people who fled Sparta, and his destination was the increasingly prosperous Pompeii.

"The Pompeii family is really vigorous and resolute. They prevented the high housing prices." Arna is a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary, but his clothes are very decent, which matches his middle-class identity.

"I plan to buy a house first, and then see if there are any antique shops in the city. If not, we will resume our old business. If there are already antique shops, then I want to find a job in the city hall."

Arna said to his wife.

"You decide."

Arna's wife said.

Pompey successfully prevented an action that would cause great harm to Pompey, and also made his own voice.

In this city, Pompey's voice will be the only voice.

Pompey is the lord here.

Please remember.

Guys with ulterior motives.

But just as Lelouch said, if Luther does not do something, Pompey will gradually die. If he can survive the hot spring storm, that would be good.

If he can't survive, that would be bad.

So Luther found his partners.

Luther was in a small meeting room in a private villa in Pompey. Luther sat in the main seat with a very serious face. There were three people sitting below, namely Amanda, Alice, and a Mr. Soren.

This Mr. Soren is Lipton, a fellow of Soren, and is a person sent by six families to supervise the financial operation of the Orange Group.

He is also a representative of the six families.

It is said that before this, he was a very shrewd businessman.

Amanda, Mr. Soren has been quietly staying in Pompeii and going to the office of Orange Group regularly. Only Miss Alice, the beautiful eldest daughter of the baron.

has disappeared for a long time and has only recently returned to Pompeii.

At this moment, as if the journey was a little tired, she yawned lazily and looked at Luther with a blurred look and said: "Luther, why did you call us here?"

"Didn't you say that you wanted to get a share of the development of the metropolis? Now is the time for you to contribute."

Luther said seriously to the partners.

He seemed like a greedy venomous snake, sucking every gold coin of the partners.
