Chapter 37: Pompeii Wine Shows Its Power

No matter how much Luther expected to find the thief Kurd and take the novice gift pack from Kurd. But Kurd disappeared.

And such a thief disappeared, even Baron Baron was helpless, not to mention the heir of the lord's family like Luther.

So this day should be spent as it should be.

After a period of martial law, the defense of Pompeii Territory was also relaxed.

The work in the territory is still being carried out by Lelouch. The work in the territory is of course mainly agriculture. Although spring plowing is important, there are still a series of work after spring plowing.

For example, weeding.

These things are all watched by Lelouch.

Luther only does a few things himself. The first is of course to carry out knight training, fighting spirit training, riding, swordsmanship, and fighting.

A strong knight definitely pays attention to not only the realm, but also his own combat ability.

It is said that some powerful knights follow the ancient knight code, do not covet wealth, power, and enjoyment, and carry out knight training like ascetics every day.

They have both strong fighting skills and fighting abilities beyond ordinary people.

As the heir of the lord's family, Luther does not need to be too hard on himself, but he still has certain standards for himself.

In addition to knight training, Luther often reads books, all of which are miscellaneous books, to continue to understand the world.

Because the collection of books in the castle is limited, Luther had to let the caravan go to the city to purchase books.

There is a saying in China that goes well, literature and martial arts. Luther is now doing such things, absorbing knowledge and increasing military strength.

In addition, Luther is communicating with Miss Ruth.

When he is strict with himself, correspondence with Miss Ruth has become the only leisure thing. Luther enjoys this thing very much.

Even if he can't cultivate an unspeakable relationship with Miss Ruth beyond the friendship between men and women, it seems good to be a pure believer.

In such an orderly day, time passed quickly and soon arrived in summer.

The entire Kingdom of Prussia is located in the south of the continent, and Pompeii Territory is one of the southernmost territories of Prussia. Therefore, the summer is particularly hot.

Of course, the grass will also thrive.

Throughout the territory, on the farmland. There are busy figures of farmers everywhere. They wear straw hats and bend over with sickles to cut grass.

The scorching sun makes them sweat profusely, and their skin is as dark as charcoal.

But they are still very happy to work, because the farmers found that this year's wheat grows better than in previous years, and even the grass grows better.

When I think of what Luther said, "Using manure to fertilize the fields can increase wheat production."

Now there are signs, and when I think of the big autumn harvest in autumn, the farmers work harder. As long as there is a harvest, everything is fine.

Isn't it just cutting some grass? If you don't work hard, how can you have food to eat.

In this peaceful and peaceful area, Luther's Pompeii wine also began to quietly show its power.

The days of the Pompeii family will get better and better.

Kaiyue City!

This is the main city of Patton Territory.

Patton Territory includes Kaiyue City, several surrounding towns, and dozens of villages. Among them, twenty or thirty villages were granted to vassals, that is, knight nobles like the Pompeii family.

The population of the entire Patton Territory is about 100,000.

It belongs to an independent small kingdom.

Kaiyue City is the capital of this small kingdom. Kaiyue City is built on flat ground, surrounded by vast plains, and to the south is a vast forest.

The Kingdom of Prussia is not static. After the first king, the Sky Knight Mishu Knight, killed the red dragon, the Kingdom of Prussia was established. After that, the kingdom's power continued to expand southward.

The endless forests in the south were developed bit by bit, gradually approaching the sea. And this Kaiyue City was a military fortress built because of the development.

The Patton family was a pioneering noble who rose from that time.

Therefore, Kaiyue City is full of military style, with high walls, arrow towers everywhere on the walls, and the walls and gates are particularly thick.

It is very conducive to defense.

The population in the city is about 40,000 to 50,000, and the commercial atmosphere is quite strong. Because Barton Territory also produces some minerals, such as gemstone mines, and there are also some magic beasts in the endless forest to the south.

And magic beasts are full of treasures, and wizards need magic beasts for experiments or research.

In addition, the land in Barton Territory is very fertile, producing wheat, and agriculture is very good. There is also a Barton Winery in Barton Territory.

It is a famous winery in the entire province, and the wine produced is sold throughout the province.

In short, the Barton family is very strong, and the territory has a strong commercial atmosphere.

Among the real nobles, the Barton territory is not the largest, and the strength is not the strongest, but the income is definitely ranked first.

This is of course the main reason why Lucy and Barton covet the title of Baron Baron, because the benefits are huge.

And the Pompeii family has two shops in Kaiyue City, two connected shops, selling only one commodity, beer.

Don't underestimate these two shops, and don't underestimate the low price of beer. There is no profit, but small profits and quick turnover. Pompeii's beer is of good quality and reasonably priced.

Every year, they earn a lot of gold coins to subsidize Pompeii's daily expenses, which is one of the important sources of income for Pompeii.

The person who manages these two stores is a servant brought by Mrs. Sophie's family. This servant is called Shield, a very simple name.

But this Shield has some business sense. Under his management, these two stores have achieved such good results.

And recently Shield is a little worried.

Because a few months ago, the master sent a new wine called Pompeii wine. Of course, the wine is good, and Shield admits this.

He has been dealing with wine all his life, and he has even drunk wine, not to mention beer. This is also beer, but the taste of Pompeii wine is very different from any other beer on this continent.

Unique taste.

This means business opportunities, but also means that there is no audience. Even if it is a knight in the process of development, he has to be in a forest, and this forest has many monsters and even dragons.

Kill monsters little by little, cut down forests, and open up a territory.

Pompeii wine is about the same as opening up the market.

Shield's ability is okay, but it is just okay. It is a bit difficult for him to develop a new wine, a brand.

So the Pompeii wine shipped from the master was placed in the store, and in a few months, not even a barrel was sold.

This made Shield worried.

There are two shops, one selling beer and the other selling Pompeii wine. The shop selling beer is full of people.

The shop selling Pompeii wine is empty.

Shield sat in the shop manager's seat, watching the two shop assistants busying around, and sighed.

"Ah."
