Chapter 213 Earn Gold Coins (Part 2)
Luther knew long ago that in order to gain status, two factors must be present: financial resources and military force. These two factors complement each other.
What happened to the Barton family this time made Luther understand this even more.
If it weren't for Old Saul's sudden arrival, their vassal knight sequence, even if they could break out, would probably suffer heavy losses.
Madam Sophie.
Uncle Lipton, cousin Newton.
I don't know how many people will die in that internal strife.
This is an extraordinary world, where the power of individuals becomes extremely powerful. The power of order is relatively weaker.
Just like the United States in the previous life, when people have guns, shootings will occur frequently.
Just like Baron Barton was hit by a magic cannon and his body was gone.
If there is no powerful military protection, let alone Pompeii, even his own life may turn into dust in a moment without pain.
The internal strife of the Barton family made Luther realize this more deeply.
So we have to make money, and at the same time, we have to turn the money into our own combat power. And if we want to expand combat power, nothing is more suitable than expanding the combat power of my father.
A great knight, even if he is a fake, is a big man in Orange, enough to be a strong deterrent.
On the contrary, ten senior knights combined are not as deterrent as a great knight.
Of course, a normal force should be pyramid-shaped. There are both top combat power and middle and bottom combat power.
The future Pompeii should also be equipped with a small number of senior knights and a large number of primary and intermediate knights.
But the problem is that the Pompeii family currently has no knights they can trust, just like the guardian knights of the Barton family, each guardian knight family has served the Barton family for at least a hundred years.
Perhaps Xi Suo and Rufen considered the future of the Barton family, so he chose to let Lucy and Barton become the new Baron Barton.
But we have to deny that the guardian knights betrayed their duties and the laws of the nobility. This led to the internal strife of the Barton family, causing great harm to the Barton family.
These families may also make such moves under these circumstances.
Not to mention the hastily recruited knights.
Loyalty cannot be guaranteed.
Luther will establish a super school in the future to cultivate his own super powers. Whether it is civilians or nobles, as long as they receive education in Pompeii's school, they will have a natural loyalty to Pompeii.
But Luther does not have so much money now to push Pompeii's education to a high level. In this case, it is a good choice to spend money desperately to train my father to become an elite of great knights, or even a title knight.
As long as there is top combat power, even if this force is extremely weak, it can also become a top force.
"Dad, don't worry, money is not a problem." Luther stretched out his hand to hold Old Sol's shoulders and said with a relaxed smile.
"You kid, you are disrespectful." Old Sol didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and slapped Luther's hand away.
Not long after, the father and son got off the roof and went to do their own things.
…………….
On the road to the Golden City.
Wrong, it should be on the road from Kaiyue City to the Golden City. Because if it is not clear, it will be difficult to distinguish.
All the avenues in Orange can lead to the Golden City.
It is winter now, the midwinter is about to pass, and spring is coming. It is too cold, too cold. So there are not many travelers on the road.
The Pompeii family's team is very large.
It consists of 250 carts, corresponding drivers, a team of 500 guards, and 20 knights. Among them, even the senior knight of Orange Hot Spring Resort, Knight Smith, was temporarily borrowed by Luther.
Because the whole Orange is full of various thieves' groups, if there is no senior knight in charge, such a large team will go to the Golden City. I don't know how many times they will be robbed along the way.
However, in order to prevent some powerful thieves from spying on this team. Luther also played the emblem of the Pompeii family, don't laugh at me.
Now the Pompeii family has a certain reputation in the whole Orange, not only because of the Autumn Wind Bandit Group incident and the Orange Hot Spring Resort incident, but also because of the Pompeii family's great knight, Sol, Pompeii.
No one will easily offend a great knight.
The thieves are all bullies.
In the black carriage of the only carriage in the team, Luther put down a document in his hand.
This is a law just promulgated by the Orange Archon, the Count of Libya, about the law of wine.
Before this, Luther had always been very worried that Pompeii wine had no technical content, did not require super high brewing technology, and did not require excellent brewers.
The current Pompeii wine is definitely not as good as the high-end liquor in Luther's previous life, such as Maotai. In fact, the current Pompeii wine should be equivalent to the low-end liquor produced by the assembly line in the previous life.
The only point is that it is strong.
For such low-grade liquor, if someone wants to peek into the technology, the chance of stealing is 100%. Fortunately, no one has done this before.
The Count of Libya promulgated this law not long ago, requiring all famous wines with names to go to Golden City for registration. Once officially registered, they will be protected by the Count of Libya.
All wines that steal technology and counterfeit will be hit by the official forces of the entire Orange.
The Count of Libya protected the property rights of wine.
But this is not the result of Luther's activities. This is a law promulgated by the Count of Libya and many nobles.
Because in the entire Orange, the largest red wine production workshops belong to the nobles. From top wines to ordinary wines, they are almost monopolized by the nobles.
Protecting the property rights of wine is equivalent to protecting their own interests.
Luther's Pompeii wine took this ride and became a wine protected by all the nobles of Orange. In this way, Luther does not have to worry about the theft of technology.
Before the opening of Orange Hot Springs Resort, Luther hoped to earn enough money during this period to expand the combat power of the Pompeii family, mainly to improve his father's combat power and protect himself.
So this time Luther led a large team, a full 5,000 barrels of Pompeii wine, to Golden City to develop the market.
Now with the law officially promulgated by the Count of Libya, if Luther does not sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange, it would be a shame for himself.
But Luther is going to change the wine selling model a little.
Luther plans to invent a wine selling model that has never appeared in this world. In order to sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange in a short time.
The reason why the first stop is Golden City is because Golden City is the economic center of the entire Orange. If Pompeii wine opens up in Orange, then the market in other cities will also be easily opened.
Golden City is so awesome.
Pompeii City is still far behind.
