It is a very, very clear weather. The sun is beautiful and there is no cloud in the sky.
Pompeii and his son crossed the deep forest road and returned to Pompeii territory.
When I saw the tall Pompeii walls in the distance, I turned my head and glanced at the surrounding large farmland, with a vaguely visible village in the middle of the farmland.
When I heard the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking.
Luther felt extremely happy.
Back again, my Pompeii.
If there was gold and silver at home, who would go out to make a living? Everything Luther did was for the good of Pompeii.
Only when he is settled and comfortable at home can he enjoy life leisurely.
Hey, Pompeii.
However, Pompeii is just a shell now, and there are not many residents inside. So when Luther stepped into the city wall, he saw empty streets, like a ghost town in his previous life.
After entering the city, Pompeii and his son separated. Old Sol was eager to go to the castle to settle down, then entered the forest, chose a remote place, and prepared to retreat and practice.
And Luther went to the town hall.
As before, the city hall was filled with officials, with almost no people at all. It was as deserted as a ghost. Luther greeted many officials along the way before arriving at the mayor's office on the second floor.
"Welcome to the triumphant return of our great Knight of Pompeii." Lulu was immersed in the table handling official duties. Hearing the footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was Luther. He quickly stood up and greeted him, gave Luther a big hug, and exaggerated
said.
Knight Commander Mr. Stone had already dispatched family knights and guards to carry supplies, and the news naturally reached Lelouch's ears.
Although they spent money to hire mercenaries to exterminate the bandits, and victory was expected, this news is still exciting.
Lelouch was very happy.
Because he no longer has to worry about the ghost town.
"Don't be too happy too early. Some things depend on hard work, but five points depend on other strength." Luther also happily hugged Lelouch, then let go of Lelouch and patted him gently.
He patted the senior on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
"I understand that legends are not created in a day. It takes a long time for heroes to become legends. Now that we have wiped out the Autumn Wind Bandits, Pompeii's reputation must rise, so publicity is inevitable, but how do you plan to publicize it?
?”
Lelouch smiled and nodded, obviously understanding this truth.
Luther smiled and took out his chair and sat down properly, and then said, "Mr. Mayor, use the network you left behind from your travels to recruit a large number of bards, and we in Pompeii will unite with the Sabretooth Tiger mercenary group to wipe out the Autumn Wind Bandits."
Do a lot of publicity work about the regiment to prove the power of the Pompeii family. By the way, our house prices in Pompeii are low, and we are in urgent need of a large number of craftsmen, practitioners, and residents of all kinds. No matter who they are, as long as they
Anyone with a skill can find food in Pompeii."
"As for our military propaganda in Pompeii, you can publicize that our lord, this generation of Pompeii knights, Thor, Pompeii is a genuine high-level knight. There is a mysterious wizard in our territory.
Sir, there are no less than thirty family knights in charge, so the defense of the territory is very strong."
"False propaganda?" Lelouch narrowed his eyes, but he did not reject it.
Advertising is somewhat watery.
The fact that Old Thor is a senior knight has not yet been made public, and the Sabretooth Tiger mercenary group will not talk about it casually, so Lelouch thought it was all water.
But in fact, there is still something to be said for these promotions. Let’s not talk about the senior knights of Old Sol. Luther is currently training Miss Wizard, and there is a pair of them.
As for the guard knights, Luther also has plans to expand, but it has not been carried out yet.
But there is no need to tell Lelouch this at this time. Mr. Mayor, just carry out the order and develop the city.
"Propaganda, how can it be without water?" So Luther said casually.
"Okay, I will recruit a group of bards and let them package these things and publicize them."
Lelouch readily agreed.
This matter can come to an end. After all, it is not Luther's job, but Lelouch's job as the mayor of Pompeii.
Luther just had to sit on his throne and wait for it to bear fruit.
So Luther and Lelouch talked about another matter. Luther said, "By the way, I have reached an agreement with the Saber-tooth Tiger mercenary group. If the Saber-tooth Tiger mercenary group makes any moves in the endless forest in the south, they will be with us."
Establish an outpost near the territory. I think this is a good idea. After all, there are countless adventurers and mercenaries who venture into the endless forest every year. But in the past, although our Pompeii was located on the edge of the endless forest, we did not have that condition. But
Now that we have the conditions, I think we should add some facilities to deal with adventurers in the city, such as hotels, taverns, and increase weapons production. However, this is the Pompeii family's business. What you have to do is to do some publicity on the way.
Attract those who take risks."
This is similar to Luther's previous propaganda, but it deals with different groups of people. The former is ordinary residents, while the latter is adventurers, mainly civilian knights.
The former is of course fundamental, but the latter is also a big piece of cake, and Luther feels that he should not give up.
"Okay, let me make some plans." Lelouch said.
Luther told Lelouch all the thoughts he had accumulated during these days in one breath, and he felt much more relaxed. So Luther crossed his legs, leaned on the back of the chair, and changed into a very comfortable position.
He asked casually, "By the way, this year's autumn harvest should start soon. How are the people feeling? Are you happy?"
"I'm very happy." A cheerful smile appeared on Lelouch's face. He glanced at Luther with admiration before saying, "Because of the manure fertilization, the land has increased its yield. And because of the role of the oxen and plows,
, this year the leaders have generally opened up more than twice the amount of land in the past. This year the farmers’ income is very considerable, and Pompeii’s tax revenue will also be very considerable.”
To this day, Lelouch still admires Luther. It is like having a golden touch. Two small ideas have brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire agriculture.
If these two ideas were promoted to the entire Kingdom of Prussia, it would bring a lot of benefits. However, neither Lelouch nor Luther were willing to promote this agricultural production technology.
Because I can, I add value.
If everyone knows how to do it, then the value will be gone.
Of course, you can't hide it for long, and getting rich can't be covered by paper. But you can hide it for as long as you can. In short, let Pompeii become rich first.
