Chapter 51: Start Working (3rd Update, Please Vote)

Anyone can see that the situation in Marquis Parker's territory is a bit bad. But Stone, Pompey and others will naturally not pay attention.

They can't even take care of themselves.

A little knight in a knight's territory is joking to worry about such a great noble.

Only one of the accompanying knights sighed.

"After staying in Pompeii for a long time, I always feel that Pompeii has a different smell. But after careful consideration, it is confused. When I came here, I knew what it was like. It was clean, tidy, orderly, and energetic. Pompeii is full of vitality."

"Yes, I have been in Pompeii for a long time. Walking on the road without feces, I face simple people every day. I didn't realize it when I was in Pompeii, but I could feel the taste of tranquility after leaving Pompeii. I heard that cleaning the feces on the road was the idea of ​​Knight Luther. Although I am a little skeptical about feces fertilizing the fields. But this small move has really changed the face of the territory. It is really a good strategy."

Another knight nodded in agreement.

The group of people all had expressions of "I think so too."

Only by integrating into Pompeii can you feel the wonder of Pompeii. The knights present felt honored and happy to be a knight in Pompeii.

While talking, the city lord's mansion arrived.

This is a very Prussian-style mansion. A team of fully armed guards are stationed in front of the door, watching Stone and his party very vigilantly.

Stone turned over and dismounted, then opened his clothes, took out a letter from his inner pocket, handed it to a guard, and said politely: "This warrior, I am the knight of the Pompeii family, Lord Patton, and I am a good friend of the great scholar Jimmy, Mr. Feixin. This is Mr. Jimmy's letter of introduction. Please help pass it to Lord Cody."

After that, Stone also politely handed over a silver coin.

The guard took the letter first, then collected the silver coin very readily. In the envious eyes of other guards, he nodded politely to Stone and said: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Knight."

After that, the guard walked in.

Stone began to wait.

Jimmy, take care, this is a great scholar that Stone knows, very prestigious. And Cody is a descendant of the nobility, hired by Marquis Parker, and appointed as the Lord of Sparta.

Stone wants to recruit free people in Sparta. He must give the Parker family face and notify them first, otherwise it will be mistaken for provocation.

Stone did not know Lord Cody, so he visited through this great scholar Jimmy as a bridge.

If there was no such relationship, Stone might not be able to meet Lord Cody, after all, the other party is the Lord of Sparta, the main city of the Parker family, and a powerful person.

After waiting outside for a while, the guard came out again, and this time he politely invited Stone to come in. Stone bowed and followed him in.

Soon after, the guard led Stone to a room.

"This is Lord Cody's study, Mr. Knight, please come in." The guard said politely.

"Okay."

Stone nodded and walked in.

The study was decorated very delicately. The main furniture consisted of a valuable desk and a bookcase, which was filled with books.

Some books looked very old and had a strong sense of time.

Lord Cody sat behind the desk. He was a bald middle-aged man who looked very wealthy.

"Mr. Stone." Cody also saw Stone and stood up to shake hands with Stone. In the letter of introduction, there was a brief introduction to Stone's Pompey identity.

As for Cody's impression of the Pompey family, he had no impression. A vassal of a remote baron, a knight lord family with the surname Pompey?

It would be strange if they knew each other.

Stone gently extended his right hand and shook it, then bowed and said, "Lord Cody."

After meeting, Cody invited Stone to sit down and asked the servants to bring snacks and drinks.

Stone took a sip of the drink, which was orange juice squeezed from oranges from the north. It was sour and quite popular among the female nobles, but Stone didn't like it.

"How is Mr. Jimmy doing recently? Has his arthritis improved?" Cody asked.

The great scholar, Jimmy, was born in a very noble and powerful aristocratic family. He was rich in knowledge, had extensive connections in the aristocratic circle, and had a high reputation.

It was an accident that Stone knew this great scholar, and it was absolutely precious.

And this great scholar suffered from leg arthritis because of his age and an injury.

"It's still the same. When it rains, it hurts so much that I can't even walk." Stone sighed.

"Ah, poor Mr. Jimmy. Some time ago, I met a great wizard who is proficient in medicine. I planned to ask him to see Mr. Jimmy, but unfortunately the great wizard left for something."

Lord Cody also shook his head and sighed, feeling very sorry for this matter.

"Ah." Stone also sighed.

After the necessary greetings, Lord Cody got to the point and asked: "Mr. Jimmy introduced Mr. Stone, but didn't explain the reason. I don't know what Mr. Stone wants to do?"

Stone was refreshed when he heard this and told Lord Cody his purpose.

Lord Cody was immediately delighted when he heard it. He smiled and said, "Because there are more and more idle people in the city, there are more thieves, robberies, and fights. I was worried about it, and Mr. Stone came at the right time. Take as much as you can."

Ston thought, I came here just because I know the current situation of the Marquis Parker Territory. If you didn't have idle freemen here, I wouldn't come.

Both parties have their own needs, and it can be said that they hit it off. Soon, Stone got the authorization document from Cody. There is nothing much to say about the content of the document.

It just gave Stone a license to recruit people. Anyone who is willing to follow Stone to Pompeii Territory can be taken away, and the Parker family will not obstruct.

After Stone met up with his companions, he said: "Let's find a place to stay first, and then publish leaflets. Briefly introduce the situation of Pompeii Territory, and publicize that the land reclaimed by the Pompeii family belongs to the freemen themselves, and is tax-free for one year, and provides generous conditions for agricultural tools. How many freemen can be recruited is as much as possible, and it is best to recruit 10,000. If it is not enough, then we can only buy serfs separately."

"Okay."

The knights and scholars in the team nodded one after another, and then went to find a place to stay.

Because of the special circumstances in the Marquisate of Parker, the work of Knight Stone and others went very smoothly. They quickly recruited a group of free people, led by a knight and a team of guards, and planned to return to the Marquisate of Pompeii.
