Chapter 355 Peasants

Of course, Pompey will have food to eat if he follows Luther. This is the law.

It is even more iron than Newton's law.

After Luther finished his pleasant conversation with the grain merchants, he returned to the city hall with Lelouch.

"Mr. Governor, Mr. Mayor, Miss Amanda has arrived. She is currently arranged in the reception room No. 3 on the second floor." A knight guarding the gate of the city hall came up to open the door and said to Luther and Lelouch.

"Okay." Luther nodded, got off the carriage with Lelouch, entered the city hall, and came to the reception room No. 3.

This is a small reception room, mainly white in color, with simple but exquisite decoration.

Miss Amanda is also in her early twenties this year, and she is becoming more and more beautiful. She wears a round lady's hat and a black dress, elegant and calm.

Before this, Miss Amanda's aunt, Mrs. Morgan, once tried to arrange a blind date between Miss Amanda and Luther.

But Luther turned the blind date into a business field, and the two did not have any sparks.

As time went by, the gap between the two people's identities became more and more obvious.

Luther and Pompey were already big figures in Orange, and even became one of the three great nobles, the helmsman of the White Eagle Emblem.

The Morgan family, however, was just a little richer.

There was something wrong with the family.

More importantly, Luther showed his celibacy. He didn't get married, but he didn't mind hanging out with women.

In short, the two people drifted apart, and now they are pure business partners.

"Mr. Governor, you let me sit alone for ten minutes." Miss Amanda gave Luther a helpless look when she saw Luther coming in.

"Sorry, sorry." Luther apologized quickly, and then sat down with Lelouch.

"To express my apology, how about I show you a profitable business?" Luther asked with a smile.

"What business?" Miss Amanda immediately took the bait, and she was also a little money-grubber. When Luther first started, it was she and Miss Alice who smelled the business opportunity and firmly supported Luther, which led to the Pompeii of today.

In recent years, Miss Amanda has made a fortune in business in the White Eagle Territory.

But she still has the character of a businessman and is always very interested in making money.

"I'll give you an idea." Luther smiled and told Amanda the general principle of the Jenny loom in his previous life.

Then Luther said, "You planted mulberry trees in the west of Pompeii before, planning to produce silk. So you shouldn't mind expanding the types of business, right?"

After listening, Amanda was thoughtful.

The looms in this world are basically hand-cranked wooden looms, and they are handmade by families.

The looms provided by Luther are mechanized, and their efficiency is several times higher than that of ordinary looms.

This is the efficiency that Luther claims.

Because there is no real object, Luther cannot prove the power of the Jenny loom. But Amanda still believes in Luther, because Luther has never made a mistake.

"Okay, I will discuss with a wizard who is good at golems to see how to make this so-called mechanical textile machine. If it is really made, I will recruit a large number of workers and monopolize the textile business of the entire Orange. All those small workshops will be defeated."

Miss Amanda nodded, showing her ambition.

This is a business woman who can beat the enemy as long as she seizes the opportunity.

Because she was eager to do this, Miss Amanda said a few words in a hurry and left.

"Textile factories, silk factories, transportation companies, plus funds constantly pouring in from all directions. The industrialization of Pompeii will be greatly improved, no matter how many laborers there are, they can be eaten."

"Luther, your good abacus."

Lelouch said with a smile, his two big mustaches jumping up and down, funny.

"It's our good abacus." Luther shrugged.

"The next step is to get rid of those big farmers and abolish the serfdom system. Agriculture, industry, animal husbandry, and practitioners have reached a balance. With the frequent commercial activities, our Pompeii will burst out with huge energy."

Luther came to the window, opened the window, let in fresh air, squinted his eyes, and took a deep breath.

"When the new party confronted the Libyan Count and the Duke of Ferger, I completed my development. Whether Pompeii can become one of the three nobles next is just a war."

Luther said.

"You are obviously prepared." Lelouch smiled and trusted his close partner.

"I have always been prepared." Luther shrugged and the strange dragon of the Blood Dragon Mother appeared in his mind.

The Pompeii family will always prosper.

……………….

When the grain merchants announced that there was no acquisition plan, the entire White Eagle Territory fell into a brief turmoil.

Yangjiao Village.

In the small meeting room at the home of village chief Heishan, village chief Heishan and five village officials sat together, looking at each other, all with sad faces.

"The grain merchants have no purchase plan. Obviously, the grain output situation in the White Eagle Territory is not optimistic." Heishan laughed at himself.

Not optimistic.

In the past, we were afraid that grain production would decrease, leading to hunger.

Now it's good, but no one wants the high grain production.

"Now let's see the situation at the city hall. I hope the White Eagle Emblem has a plan to purchase grain and stabilize the grain price. Otherwise, we can only feed the pigs with the extra grain."

A village official also sighed.

"I think farming has no future. I plan to let my eldest son and second son go to Pompeii to work." A village official in his forties or fifties smiled bitterly.

Farming has no future.

Not only the upper class of Yangjiao Village has this idea, but also ordinary farmers.

Ani, Asia's family too.

At this moment, Ani's family has harvested the grain, threshed it, and can be sold after drying.

But it can't be sold.

In the two-story wooden house, the farmer couple sat at the dining table at a loss.

"I think it's better to let Oxford go to school. Although farming can make you full, there is no future." Ani smiled bitterly.

At the moment of the grain harvest, Ani was ready to let his eldest son Oxford drop out of school and go home to farm, thinking that farming was the way out.

But now, Ani has changed his mind.

"Farming really has no way out." His wife Asia also nodded and said, then said worriedly: "We have so much grain, what should we do?"

"Feed pigs and chickens, isn't the price of meat rising now? Buy more piglets and chickens." Ani sighed.

Even if the grain can't be sold, the farmers will not go bankrupt.

Anyway, they have nothing to go bankrupt.

The real bankrupts are those big farmers.
