Chapter 285 Upgrade to "White Eagle Territory"

People were coming and going in the city hall.

Many nobles came to the city hall with golden coins to inquire about and buy houses.

The amazing thing is that the house has not been built yet.

This is the first time this has happened in this world.

One bad thing is that when this city hall was designed, the pattern was a bit small. So it was a bit crowded, and because it was a rainy day, people coming and going inevitably had mud on their shoes.

So the city hall was a mess.

Luther wore very ordinary clothes and walked into the city hall very low-key. Occasionally, officials hurriedly passed by and did not recognize Luther, and newcomers naturally did not recognize Luther.

In this way, without causing any commotion, Luther came to the mayor's office on the second floor.

Mr. Municipal was writing something on his desk, and he looked up when he heard footsteps. When he saw Luther, Lelouch smiled.

"You are smiling so brightly, how many houses have you sold?" Luther asked in a good mood.

"About a thousand villas have been sold." Lelouch said with a smile.

"My goodness." Luther couldn't help but widen his eyes a little. Selling a thousand villas means that there are a thousand wealthy people in Pompeii.

They spent three hundred gold coins to buy the villa, which means they have extra gold coins, which may be three million or even five million gold coins.

This gold coin will bring endless consumption power to Pompeii.

Moreover, the Pompeii family earned three hundred thousand gold coins at once.

Now that the war has begun, the sales of the profitable Pompeii wine will definitely drop sharply because of the war. This income is absolutely crucial.

"Will the house be built in time? By the way, the quality must be good. We can't let Pompeii's reputation be damaged." Luther asked with concern.

"I have to tell you about this matter in detail." Lelouch said with a smile, and his two big mustaches jumped a little funny.

There must be something good.

"Tell me." Luther was eager to listen.

"This time, many lords and knights brought guards and servants of varying numbers. Since they have reached a safe place and are no longer lords, they do not need so many people to serve them. So I distributed some money and let the servants and guards make their own living. I gathered the strong among these people to cut wood and build villas. The Habsburg factory recruited some young people to learn how to build furniture. After the villas are built, they will sell furniture to these nobles and make a fortune. I think you can also take this opportunity to let Madam Sophie recruit maids to make tableware, clothes and so on, and make a fortune."

Lelouch said.

"You mean we take their 300 gold coins first, then hire their own guards and build villas for them to live in. It means that we get money for free in addition to the land?"

Luther understood and was really happy.

"Yes." Lelouch smiled brilliantly.

There is such a good thing in the world, unheard of.

"Okay, I will ask mom to open more clothing stores and tableware factories. By the way, some of them left in a hurry and may not have so much cash, but they must have valuables with them. If they have no money to spend, they will have to sell their valuables. I have to open a pawn shop as well."

Luther was like a greedy businessman who wanted to take all the business into his arms.

This opportunity is too rare.

"Among these people, at least more than 500 are knights. If they have no money, they have to find a livelihood. The Pompeii family can recruit them to expand the number of knights in the current territory."

Lelouch also made suggestions.

"Anyway, we are rich." Luther waved his hand, and although he was happy, he quickly suppressed it. Luther said: "Let's talk about this matter after they settle down. We are thinking about how to form a stable urban circle. But before that, we have to deal with our territory."

"What do you want to do?" Lelouch narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As a great noble with the current territory area, the Pompeii family needs a new emblem." Luther said.

Before this, the Pompeii family also had a coat of arms, but that was only the coat of arms of the knight family, and there were hundreds of knight lord families in the whole Orange.

The whole kingdom is so big, there are even more knight lord families.

According to the territory occupied by the Pompeii family now, the Pompeii family has become a powerful faction with a certain status in the entire Kingdom of Prussia.

Become a great noble who is not a great noble.

The Pompeii family needs a brand new coat of arms.

"This is easy. I also understand coat of arms. I will help you design one. Do you have any design ideas?" Lelouch asked.

"Just use the coat of arms of the Knights of the Mountains, four peaks, plus a white eagle." Luther gestured, then smiled and said: "And I have also thought of the name of the territory, the name is White Eagle Territory."

"After that, you will become the governor of White Eagle Territory, the city hall of Pompeii will become a first-level city hall, the city halls of Silver Wing City, Windsor City, etc. will become second-level city halls, and towns will set up third-level city halls. We will overthrow all the lords and bring the rights into the scope of the city hall."

"By the way, the current city hall is too small, we should build a bigger and more magnificent city hall. By the way, we also need a bigger and more magnificent castle for the Pompeii family to live in."

Luther planned enthusiastically.

"That's no problem. Even if you let me be the governor of Orange, I have the confidence to manage it well. The only question now is, are Baron Billy and Baron Philip willing to give up their rights?"

Lelouch said softly, he put his hands on the desk, pushed the chair away with his legs and stood up.

Baron Philip survived because of the desperate guards of Knight Natsu and Wilson.

Baron Billy escaped because of his own strong strength.

At present, the two barons are resting in two villas in Pompeii, while the other three lords have died.

So far, including their direct children, Luther has not found any survivors.

From the perspective of noble inheritance, the bloodline of these lords is undoubtedly cut off. The collateral line is eligible to inherit, but now it is a chaotic world and no one will speak for them.

So the Pompeii family can directly annex their territory, but the remaining Baron Philip and Baron Billy will be more troublesome.

From the perspective of allies, Luther should not annex them. But in order to strengthen the Pompeii family, this is a necessary step.

Luther decided to give them a compensation contract.

"They will agree, but you need to persuade them, I can't say. Before that, let's discuss what compensation they should give them."

Luther said.

"Okay, let's discuss it."

Lelouch sat down again, and the two began to discuss.
