Chapter 15 The Development of the Plow

The blacksmith shop is located on the west side of Pompeii Castle, next to the general store. The general store sells firewood, rice, oil and salt, as well as farm tools, swords and ironware forged in the blacksmith shop.

Both are exclusively operated by the Pompei family, and these two shops are also one of the important financial incomes of the Pompei family.

There is no way, this is the right of the noble lords in Prussia. The Pompeii family can even make their own laws, let alone these exclusive operations.

Although it is early spring and the weather is cold, there are still people coming and going outside the general store and blacksmith shop, all of them are free people who come to buy goods.

These freedmen glanced at Luther and immediately separated themselves from each other, bent down and planned to kneel down.

Luther has been active in the territory from time to time these days. Many villagers know Luther. Even those who don't know Luther have heard about him, the heir of the Pompeii family.

Master Luther is a man who likes to move around and inspect his territory.

He was also very kind, and from time to time he would take out wheat cakes and give them to the sick and weak.

If compared with his father, Old Saul, Luther is naturally more vivid.

First of all, although Old Sol is powerful in force, he also has a reputation and prestige, and he is relatively kind to the people in his territory.

But Old Sol was a warrior after all, and the people were more in awe than respect for him.

But it was different for Luther. The people were still very grateful to Luther.

Master Luther will definitely become a benevolent lord in the future. It is great to live in the Pompeii family's territory.

Of course, the people were talking behind the scenes about using manure to fertilize the fields, but in the eyes of the people, this was all because Master Luther was still young and was a little reckless and naive.

This is harmless.

All in all, although Luther has not yet inherited the territory of Pompeii, in the eyes of the people in the territory, Luther is a kind man and a qualified successor.

Because he was traveling near the castle, Luther came out without any guards this time. Looking at the people around him who were about to kneel down, Luther waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's not easy for everyone to go out in such a cold weather. You guys

No need to salute, just go back quickly after buying groceries."

Having said that, Luther walked into the blacksmith shop.

"Master Luther is so kind."

"God will keep the Pompeii fire alive."

The people burst into tears of gratitude.

Luther entered the blacksmith shop. Outside the blacksmith shop, people were buying farm tools and were greeted by a young man. Inside the blacksmith shop, a middle-aged uncle was forging iron.

Ding, ding, ding, the sound of hammer hitting iron can be heard endlessly.

The hot charcoal fire was burning, and the uncle was sweating profusely and his face was red.

This is an uncle who is as strong as an ox. He is also very tall, but his appearance is a bit unflattering. His only characteristic is that he is a bit fierce.

It’s hard to imagine that such a tall and thick guy could actually give birth to a daughter as cute as little Maya.

"Could it be that he was born by Mr. Wang next door?" Luther had doubts in his heart.

This middle-aged uncle is naturally Uncle Bob, the master blacksmith. The young man taking care of the business over there is Bob's eldest son. By the way, there is also a boy playing the bellows next to him. This is Bob's second son.

Together with Bob's wife and daughter Maya, this is the blacksmith family in Pompeii.

The blacksmiths have been forging iron for the Pompeii family since their ancestors hundreds of years ago. Not surprisingly, the eldest son and the second son will continue to serve Luther.

"Master Luther, why are you here?" After Bob saw Luther, he quickly put down the hammer in his hand and asked with concern.

Unlike ordinary people, as the royal blacksmith of the Pompeii family, Bob was very familiar with Luther.

Bob's two sons also put down their work and saluted respectfully.

"There's something going on, Uncle Bob, can we talk about it?" Luther said politely.

"You're welcome, Master Luther. If you have anything to do, just ask old Bob." Bob patted his chest, and his strong chest muscles collided with his rough hands, making a banging sound.

Then Bob told his two sons, put down the hammer, and invited Luther into the room behind the blacksmith shop.

This is a blacksmith's house. The layout is very simple. There is only a table and a few chairs in the hall. Bob's wife seems not to be there, so there is nothing to entertain.

Bob poured a bowl of water for Luther as a treat.

"Do you have any orders from Master Luther?" Bob also sat down and looked at Luther across the table and asked.

"Uncle Bob, do you think this can be done?" Luther was prepared and took out a piece of parchment. There was a pattern drawn on the slightly dull but still white parchment.

It is a plow, but it is specious.

Luther wanted to build a plow, but in fact Luther had never studied this kind of thing, so he could only rely on a little memory to draw such a specious thing.

There is no way, Luther was an ordinary person before time travel, so he didn't understand everything.

After Bob heard this, he immediately took the parchment carefully. He thought it was some kind of secret weapon. After all, although he made farm tools for the people part-time, his main job was as a blacksmith making weapons and armor for the Pompeii family.

After watching for a moment, Bob's face showed a tangled look. He raised his head and looked at Luther helplessly and asked: "Master Luther, I really can't understand what this thing is. Can you explain it to me?"

?"

Luther was not surprised. As an indigenous person, it would be strange if Bob could see this thing at a glance. So Luther took the parchment back from Bob's hand, pointed to the pattern and said.

"This is a tool. You see, there is a cow in front. The cow is walking forward slowly. The person behind is holding on to this tool and holding a whip to drive the cow. The sharp thing below can be borrowed.

Using the power of oxen, the soil is loosened. In this way, farmers no longer have to work hard to plow the fields with hoes."

Luther didn't know how to explain it, so he used both hands to explain and made movements.

Needless to say, the description is quite perfect.

Even though Bob looks like a big fool, he is actually quite smart. His daughter Maya is a clever child. Although she is Luther's personal maid, she can sometimes drive Luther to death.

She is a cute, fierce and smart maid.

The two sons are also quite smart.

This is inherited from Bob.

When Bob listened to Luther's explanation, he immediately recalled the scene in his mind. A docile cow was in front, followed by a farmer, holding a plow and slowly loosening the soil.

Hold the grass. What is this operation?

Bob immediately stood up, his face red and his neck thick, his eyes widened, as if he was a gorilla in heat, ready for a decisive battle between male orangutans at any time.

All in all, extremely exciting.

Luther was startled and thought silently.

"Although the plow is indeed an earth-shattering thing for farming, you don't need to be so excited, Uncle Bob, it will scare the children."
