Chapter 53 Arrangements for the Principal

After learning a little about the work of Knight Ston, Luther got down to business.

"Brazilian Knight, thank you for your hard work. Please rest in the territory for three days and then join the Stone Knight in three days." Luther said to the Brazilian Knight very considerately.

"Thank you, Knight Luther." The Brazilian knight said gratefully.

This time we went to the territory of Marquis Parker and passed through the territories of several nobles. The journey was long and some roads were not easy to walk.

After going back and forth this time, even with the strong physical strength of the knight, he felt a little tired.

Now he and the accompanying guards needed to rest.

Of course, it would be okay if Luther insisted on letting them start again tomorrow, but it would inevitably make the Brazilian knights and guards complain.

On the contrary, taking the initiative to let them rest for two days will earn the gratitude of the knight guards.

As a lord, Luther can win people's hearts in a small way.

In other words, Luther has become more and more proficient in this area.

After letting the Brazilian knight go down to rest, Luther turned his head and looked at Lelouch. At this moment, while Luther was talking to the Brazilian knight, Lelouch had taken out a drawing and put it on the desk.

"According to the plan, we will develop new farmland around the Pompeii territory. As for the new 10,000 people, I plan to divide them into 20 villages, each with about 500 people. This is my preliminary selection The twenty strongholds, Luther, take a look."

Lelouch pointed at the twenty small black dots on the map.

This map covers all of Baron Barton's territories, and Pompeii Territory is quite far away from Baron Barton's main city, Kaiyue City.

Even Baron Barton's other territories are not bordering each other. They are like a nail nailed into the southern forest, and they look like an enclave.

Pompeii Castle is a big fork, and twenty small black dots are irregularly arranged in a fan-shaped manner to the south of Pompeii Castle.

Luther had no objections to this layout, but he felt a little worried about the defense of these villages. After all, the security situation in Pompeii was not good.

The seemingly endless forest contains many magical beasts, humanoid races, and even giant dragons.

"This arrangement is okay, but remember that each village must have a certain degree of defense, cut down large trees to build external barriers, and each village must select fifty militiamen. When farming is busy, the militiamen are still farmers, but when encountering In times of danger, the militiamen can also serve as a defensive force."

Luther pondered for a moment and gave a plan that focused on defense.

"That's no problem. At most it's just a sacrifice of some weapons." Lelouch agreed with the plan. Immediately, the two people led a few guards out of the city hall and arrived at an open space outside the castle.

The more than 500 people brought by the Brazilian knights are currently arranged in this open space, and are carried out simple management by a team of guards.

What do these people say?

The mental outlook is not good.

First of all, it is visible to the naked eye. You can see the color on the faces of these people, which represents malnutrition.

Secondly, these people are very dirty, which means that they have been hit by life and don't care much about hygiene issues.

All in all, this crowd looks like a mess.

But this is normal, otherwise if they had a stable life, the free people would not choose to leave their homes and come to this remote Pompeii to seek life, even if the conditions offered by Pompeii were very generous.

In addition, Luther also saw the anxiety about the future in the eyes of many people.

This is normal. Normal people would feel uneasy when they first arrive in a new environment, not to mention that Pompeii Territory may not be a safe place.

Even if the Pompeii Territory is safe, they haven't met the lord yet, and they don't know if the lord will really fulfill his promise.

This group of people are like a group of frightened Mianyang people who need to be comforted.

In addition, Luther also saw that this group of people brought a lot of their own property, including clothes, pots and pans, etc. Some people also brought chickens, ducks, dogs and other livestock.

"First arrange for people to set up camp here, prepare hot soup, and give them food. Wait until tomorrow to record the household registration, and three days later, we will take them to the forest to open up wasteland. Don't be anxious, stabilize their minds first."

Luther took a look at these people and decided to slow down the land reclamation first.

"Okay." Lelouch nodded.

At this time, the people also saw the arrival of Luther and his entourage. Luther and Lelouch were dressed as nobles, so the men and women who were sitting casually stood up. Those who were energetic and fearless, The children who were playing were restrained by their parents.

Standing cautiously, facing Luther and others.

Luther decided to use himself as a weapon first. He asked a guard to bring a box, and then stood on the box, after attracting the attention of all the people.

Luther said loudly: "Free people, this is the territory of Pompeii. I am the Pompeii Knight of this generation, the eldest son of Saul Pompeii, the Pompeii Knight of the next generation, Luther, Pompeii. I represent Pompeii The leader welcomes you.”

After a pause, Luther said loudly: "Don't worry, Pompeii's land and tax promises to you will be strictly fulfilled and will not be discounted. In addition, I have people prepare hot soup and food, which will be available soon. It will be served. You should fill your stomachs and take a rest. After three days, I will arrange for you to open up wasteland."

After hearing these words, the uneasiness in the eyes of the people disappeared a lot, and their mental outlook changed a little.

Not long after, a white-haired old man came out and bowed to Luther and said: "Thank you, kind Master Luther."

"Thank you too, wise elder." Luther got off the box, bowed to the old man very friendly, and then joked: "Also, please call me Knight Luther. I have grown up and am no longer the young master hiding in my mother's arms and acting like a spoiled child."

"Hahaha."

The light-hearted joke made the people laugh, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

"This young master is really kind and friendly."

Many people thought in their hearts.

This is their initial impression of Pompeii Territory, and it is definitely a good impression.

After this episode, Luther talked to the people again, and then handed it over to Lelouch, and did what he should do.

Since he had Lelouch, the mayor of Pompeii, he, as the acting lord, did not need to ask about the details. Besides, he still has to do the knight training in the afternoon.

While there is still some time, take a break first, eat a full lunch and drink enough water, so that he will have enough energy for training in the afternoon.

The territory is developing, and so is he.

Perfect.
