Chapter 142: The Prestige of the Pompeii Family (3)
"One hundred thousand gold coins?"
The guests all around took a breath of air-conditioning. The one who was drinking stopped his glass in the air, and the one who wanted to take the wine shook his hand.
The hands of the nearby bartenders holding the wine trays also shook, and the trays almost fell.
The boss was still wiping the glass, but his hand shook and the wine glass almost fell from his hand. You must know that this is a very, very incredible thing.
Because the boss has been in this business for 20 or 30 years.
All in all, it was shocking.
The gold coin is the sun, emitting hot and intense light, attracting the eyes of ordinary people.
This is a civilian tavern, and the people who come here to spend money are all nearby residents. When they saw John take out a gold coin to buy a glass of wine, they were already very envious.
Let alone one hundred thousand gold coins.
If there were no accidents, everyone present, including the tavern owner, would not be able to earn 100,000 gold coins in this life.
If John received a grant that made people in the tavern envious and jealous, then such a huge fund of 100,000 gold coins has made people powerless and even jealous.
"Huge military force, prominent financial resources, Pompeii, hey. Maybe in the near future, a top knight family will really appear in Orange."
After a long time, a drinker smiled, drank the wine in his glass, and said.
As soon as the frozen atmosphere relaxed, the drinkers returned to normal. One hundred thousand gold coins were indeed shocking, but they were too far away, so there was nothing to think about.
But the atmosphere was even more heightened.
People present knew that there was also a family of Pompeii knights in Orange. The Pompeii knights were strong and brave, with powerful military force and strong financial resources.
Pubs have always been the distribution center for news. A drinker can come to the Knight and Gun Tavern to drink today, and tomorrow he may go to a pub in a nearby neighborhood to drink.
When they went to other taverns to drink, they suddenly thought of the Pompeii family, and naturally they would follow suit. It was news.
Hey.
It turns out that we have a Pompeii family in Orange, and they have just destroyed the Autumn Wind Bandits.
"I remembered the Pompeii family. No wonder it felt familiar. This family recruited a group of landless farmers in the countryside near Sparta a year ago. This year, they promoted the low housing prices in Pompeii."
"Originally, I was a little tempted, because the consumption in Sparta City was so high that it suffocated me. Selling the house here and living in a small city in the countryside seemed like a good choice."
A drinker with a scar on his face suddenly remembered this incident and exclaimed.
"Then why didn't you go?"
"Yeah, if you have an idea, why not go there? To be honest, the cost of living in Sparta City is really high, and the competition for jobs is so fierce. I even want to live in a small city in the countryside."
the drinkers asked one after another.
"Because it is a small territory under construction, and it is located on the edge of the endless deep forest, and the Pompeii family did not have much reputation before this. I am afraid that this family can guarantee the safety of the city. If the family moves to Pompeii, then
Wouldn't it be too pitiful to die in a Warcraft riot?"
The scar-faced drinker shrugged and said.
The drinkers around him nodded involuntarily. This was a hurdle they couldn't overcome. No one wanted to live in fear every day.
Many drinkers nearby were a little moved.
Low house prices.
The newly built city also means that there will be many jobs.
The Pompeii family had just wiped out the Qiufeng bandits, and there were no problems with their force or financial resources.
It seems that it would be nice to live in Pompeii.
At this time, John had already left quietly. He drank the glass of "dark blue wine" in one gulp and disappeared into the crowd.
John is definitely not an exception.
The Pompeii family dispersed thousands of gold coins, publicizing the incident throughout Orange, and trying their best to build the Pompeii family's reputation.
These bards were like worker ants, operating throughout Orange, publicizing this matter in taverns, among gatherings of the middle class and even the aristocracy.
Reputation is something you can't see or touch, but it does exist.
The first family in Orange, like the Libyan family, naturally has the highest reputation in Orange.
But for people like the Pompeii family, the worst thing to say is that they are not well-known.
Reputation is a good thing. In the current situation of the Pompeii family, it can attract residents to live in Pompeii.
And if Luther really goes out of the plan to establish a real noble title in the future, reputation will be transformed into a kind of power.
Look.
It turns out that there is another family in Orange called the Pompeii Knights.
If the reputation of the Pompeii family spread throughout the Kingdom of Prussia, it must eventually reach the ears of the King of Prussia.
Although the real nobility in Prussia and the King of Prussia are currently two huge opposing forces, the real nobility is nominally the king's vassal.
In the entire Kingdom of Prussia, only the King of Prussia is qualified to entrust new nobles with real titles.
If a family is planning to become a vassal of the king, then you should always let the king know the strength and reputation of your family.
Of course, the Pompeii family's annihilation of the Autumn Bandits was a big deal in Orange, but it was a trivial matter in Prussia.
It was impossible for this to reach the ears of the King of Prussia, but the Pompeii family could never take this step.
This is a step that an ordinary knight lord family cannot take for countless generations. If it cannot take it, it will just stand still. If it takes it, it may lead to the road of becoming a real noble.
For an ordinary knight lord family, this is not easy.
And for the current purpose of the Pompeii family to recruit residents, the effect is also very obvious.
Especially the Marquis of Parker.
Although the Pompeii family used gold coins as energy and gathered many bards from all over Orange, they tried their best to shape the reputation of the Pompeii family.
However, the Pompeii family's financial resources obviously cannot cover the entire Orange, so the propaganda is focused and focused on the entire area.
Lelouch chose a territory where, like Marquis Parker, the lord was unpopular for his main propaganda.
The poor Marquis Parker was recruited by Luther to recruit farmers the previous time, and this time he was recruited by Luther to recruit residents. He was the main source of population for the lords of Pompeii.
However, the Marquis of Parker is a large territory, and a population of 10,000 or 20,000 does not mean much to the Marquis of Parker.
After the news spread, many residents have already taken action.
There are many people who either ask people for information or plan to go to Pompeii for inspection in person.
It's a good thing that some people take it seriously, but I'm just afraid that no one will bother me.
Just like opening a shop and doing business, only when customers come to your door can you make business possible.
