"If you are happy, let's have a carnival." A bright smile appeared on Luther's face. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
This was the route Luther had always taken. People in Pompeii were happy, and Luther was certainly happier.
Therefore, Luther thought of doing something when the autumn harvest was approaching.
"Carnival?" Lelouch became slightly interested.
"Hire a circus. After the autumn harvest, let the circus perform continuously throughout Pompeii for thirty days, traveling from village to village."
Luther said excitedly.
"This is also a good idea. Hiring a circus is not expensive. Compared with hiring a mercenary group to exterminate thieves, it is only a small amount of money. But it can express the care of the Pompeii lords to the farmers, especially the new members of Pompeii.
Beiling's farmers can help them further build a sense of belonging."
Lelouch thought Luther's idea was great.
"You underestimate me too much." Luther's face showed a look of narrow-mindedness.
"Is there any hidden meaning?" Lelouch was a little surprised.
"Hire a circus for a carnival. Of course, the carnival involves eating and drinking, such as wine, sausages, barbecue, etc. Peasants are not knights. Knights can eat meat every day. Farmers usually eat a little to satisfy their cravings during the autumn harvest.
This year’s harvest is huge, so they should have a big meal, right? It’s not just about eating and drinking. After this year’s bumper harvest, the farmers have money in their hands, so they should spend it on other things, right? Buy more clothes for your wife and children, and add a little more to the vegetables.
I dare not add too much salt, the furniture is old, do you want to replace it with a new one? These are all business."
Luther said with a smile, looking like a shrewd and cunning fox.
As a lord, Luther's main task is to lead the territory towards a prosperous life. As a greedy lord, Luther's idea is to squeeze every copper coin out of the hands of the people.
Luther wanted to stimulate consumption and tell people that money is not for hiding, but for consumption and enjoying a better life.
By the way, the Pompeii family will also make a lot of money.
"Luther, you are really a profiteer." Lelouch blinked, which looked a little funny when paired with his big beard.
"Hahaha." Luther laughed happily.
It was settled that after this year's autumn harvest, the Pompeii family hired a circus to perform in the territory and hold a carnival.
Before that, find a good circus first.
Immediately, Luther left the city hall, hurried back to Pompeii, and found Madame Sophie in her study. She was engrossed in writing something.
We haven’t seen each other for many days, but Mrs. Sophie is still as elegant and mature as ever.
However, Luther could tell that the mother's face was not very good, and she seemed a little angry. Remembering that his father should return to Pompeii Castle first, Luther figured out where his father had offended his mother.
"Mom, you seem a little angry. Which blind guy offended you? I'll teach him a lesson for you." Luther and Mrs. Sophie had a very good relationship, so Luther said deliberately to make Mrs. Sophie happy.
"Pfft." Mrs. Sophie burst out laughing. She couldn't write any more in the account book, so she put down her pen, and then said to Luther in a complaining tone, "I'm not your dad yet. I've been away for so long and just came back."
So I went out to wander again, saying that I was going to the forest to practice hard, but no one believed me."
Mrs. Sophie had an expression on her face that I could see right through.
Luther understood immediately that his mother had misunderstood that his father had gone out for a tryst.
My wife is gone. So my mother is angry. There is nothing wrong with this, she is a woman.
"Don't tell me, dad really went to the deep forest to practice hard this time." Luther explained to his dad with a smile.
Not to seek justice for my father, but to make my mother happy.
"Really?" Mrs. Sophie was a little doubtful.
"Really, Dad gained some insights from this battle and went to practice in the forest." Luther nodded and said.
After Luther reiterated again and again, Mrs. Sophie finally believed it. The wrinkles between her brows also smoothed out, revealing a happy smile.
"Okay Luther, just tell me what you have to say." Mrs. Sophie smiled happily, straightened her posture, and said to Luther.
Luther's expression condensed and he said angrily, "Look what you said, I just have something to do with you?"
"Don't tell me, every time you come to me, you have something to do. You never come to me to chat." Mrs. Sophie rolled her eyes at Luther.
Luther immediately became ashamed after hearing this, not to mention that it was true. Every time he came to see his mother, he always had something to do, and he would explain this and that, and never make small talk.
If the family business is compared to a company, then he is the chairman and my mother becomes the general manager.
Luther felt a little ashamed in his heart that my mother was so kind to me.
Luther decided to talk to his mother more often in the future, but let's forget it today, serious matters were more important. So Luther told his mother what he thought.
"Then I will ask the purchasing team to buy more cloth, salt and other daily groceries. As for opening taverns and hotels, we will wait until the popularity of the adventurers in Pompeii City increases. Otherwise, it will be too expensive to open without customers." Suo
After hearing this, Mrs. Fei also felt that this was the truth, so she nodded and said.
"Excuse me, mother." Luther said respectfully and solemnly.
"Okay, let's go back and forth wherever we go. I still have to do the accounts." Luther's attitude amused Mrs. Sophie. Mrs. Sophie smiled and waved her hand for Luther to get out.
"Okay." Luther rolled away.
After leaving his mother's study, Luther thought about what else needed to be done, but there was really nothing. So Luther decided to take a good bath and relax.
Because little Maya wants to become a wizard lady, wrong, wizard maid, and little Maya is very obsessed with the identity of a maid.
Therefore, Luther did not recruit a new personal maid, so Luther randomly found a maid in the castle to fetch water, and then started to take a happy bath.
Scrub, scrub, scrub.
This trip is a long trip, and there is nothing better than taking a shower and taking a long nap after returning home.
Luther happily hummed a bath song and took a bath, changed into clean pajamas, and then lay on the bed motionless regardless of the fact that it was still bright outside.
I closed my eyes and soon fell into a dream.
Luther also had a dream, but this dream was a bit scary. Luther met Miss Ruth again in the dream. In the dream world, Luther had become a real great count.
He became the ruler of Orange, the leader of the Pompeii family, Count Pompeii, Grand Knight, Luther, and Lord Pompeii.
At this time, Luther met Miss Ruth.
After a pleasant conversation, the two began to have sex, but after enjoying themselves, Miss Ruth suddenly opened her mouth, revealing two sharp fangs, wanting to suck blood.
It turns out that Miss Ruth has become a vampire.
The dream woke up at this moment, and Luther was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Luther sat on the bed for a while in shock, then got up, put on his slippers, opened the window, and looked outside, it was already daytime outside.
