Little Maya pouted a little unhappy. She looked very cute and was wearing a maid outfit, so her pouting look was naturally cute.
Of course she had reasons to be unhappy. As the daughter of a blacksmith who had served the Pompeii family for generations, it was natural for her to enter the castle and serve as Master Luther's personal maid.
However, after becoming Master Luther's personal maid, it was different from being at home. She had to stay in the castle all the time and rarely go back home.
Today she rarely saw her father, and she was very happy.
As a result, Dad was holding a piece of wood. Little Maya glanced at the plow in Bob's hand. She didn't know how to describe it, so she could only call it wood.
She hugged the piece of wood happily and ignored her own daughter, who was working as a maid in the castle, which made her very unhappy.
Then little Maya was a little curious. It turned out that this was called a "plow" and what did it do?
Luther, with his thick lines, naturally couldn't notice little Maya's resentment. He looked at the plow in Bob's hand and was so happy.
Although I know that according to Bob's craftsmanship, making a plow is a matter of course. But it is still something to be happy about seeing the real thing.
Luther quickly took the plow from Bob's hand and held it in his arms, stroking the plow itself as if caressing a lover.
This is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom.
Let the brilliant crystallization of wisdom bloom in this world.
In a sense, this thing is much more precious than his lover. As his strength grows and his status rises, he wants more and more lovers.
The hard part now is getting the first start-up capital.
Ha ha.
Bob was smiling from ear to ear next to him, but little Maya had goosebumps. She was thinking in her mind.
"Luther looks so strange. Doesn't he like women and this kind of wood?"
Girls mature early, and little Maya had this strange thought in her heart.
Not mentioning little Maya, Luther stroked the plow for a while, and then solemnly asked Bob: "How is it, has it been tested?"
"Not at all. After I made it, I sent it to you, Master." Bob touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed.
"Okay, then let's test it in public. Uncle Bob, you go outside the castle with the plow in your arms. Little Maya, go find Butler Phelan and ask him to send someone to the pasture to find a Bass cow."
Luther gave the plow back to Bob and then told the two men to follow it.
"yes."
Bob agreed happily, turned around and walked out. Little Maya was a little strange, wood? Cow? What on earth is this doing?
However, although little Maya had many thoughts, she was very obedient and went on.
Soon after, Luther knocked on the doors of the castle one by one. Old Sol, Mrs. Sophie, Magellan, Shushua, Teacher Qiao Xiu, Lelouch, etc. Luther invited them out to let them witness the greatness.
moment.
This is Chi Guoguo's showing off.
Similarly, it also increases the determination of important people in the territory to promote the development of the territory.
Thinking back to that time, Luther was so angry that his liver ached when he recalled the erroneous conversation he had with Old Saul.
You old-fashioned leopard.
Even if I ask you to support me in developing my territory, I won't. Now that I have a complete plow, let me see if you are shocked to death.
There is also Madame Sophie and Lelouch. Although they support his territory development plan, they are more or less skeptical.
The time has come to witness the results. I believe that after seeing the results of the plow, they will be full of confidence in the development of the territory.
Maybe I can get more gold coins from that stingy old Sol's hand to support my territory development plan.
The development of agriculture was the beginning of Luther, really the beginning.
Luther was a man who wanted to become a great nobleman, and Pompeii would become a real city sooner or later.
Luther called all these people out and came to an open space outside the castle. In fact, there were such open spaces outside the castle, forming a circle.
Although such an open space is conducive to enemy attacks, it is also conducive to broadening the field of vision.
All in all, it's a wasteland.
"Little Luther, I have an important document to deal with. If you don't give me a reason, I will make you run around the castle a hundred times." Old Sol was a little dissatisfied.
As a knight lord, there is also a Lord Baron above him. Recently, some things have happened in the baron territory, and official documents have been exchanged closely.
He still had many things to do and no time to mess around with his son.
In Old Sol's mind, Luther was just messing around. He also had an obsession in his mind, which was to send Luther to the knights in the royal capital for training.
Conduct formal military training instead of letting Luther do some weird things in the countryside.
Teacher Qiao Xiu, Lelouch, Madam Sophie, Magellan and others didn't care. Anyway, Luther asked them to come, so they came.
In addition to these people, there was Bob holding the plow, and his daughter Maya.
Mrs. Sophie looked at Bob holding the plow, thoughtfully. She was much smarter than old Sol. Her eyes brightened a little when she remembered the plan Luther mentioned before.
"Is this the result?"
Pompeii Territory is a territory mainly based on farming. It is limited by population and has not been developed well. If it can save people's manpower.
All in all, it goes along with Luther's development plan.
The future is very good.
After waiting for a while, the old butler Feilun came, and he also brought a middle-aged man, who was leading a cow.
This is the Bass cow that Luther just talked about. This is a very strong breed of cattle with very good meat quality and has extremely high economic value.
In particular, its character is relatively docile.
This was the breed of cattle that Luther favored as a working cattle. This time, Mrs. Sophie sent out to purchase sixty working cattle outside the territory, which were also of this kind.
Seeing the cow, Luther glanced at Old Sol again, and it was time to show off. Luther said to Bob: "Uncle Bob, let's start."
"OK."
Bob nodded, put down the plow, prepared the other tools, hitched the plow to the Bass ox, and started to drive the ox with Bob holding the plow with one hand and waving the whip with the other.
"Moo." Bass Cow swept his tail, turned around and glanced at Bob docilely, then slowly started to move forward, and the plow started to work.
The abandoned land was originally very hard, but under the action of the plow, the soil was turned up one after another.
And this is also the most important job of the year for farmers.
Loose soil.
Farmers in this era did not have tools like plows, let alone the concept of plowing oxen. They wielded hoes year after year and used them to loosen the soil.
Therefore, although there are many forests around the Pompeii Territory that can be cut down and turned into patches of farmland, due to the lack of labor, there is actually not much farmland in the Pompeii Territory.
But now that the cattle have come out, with the help of each cattle, the farmland in the territory can be doubled or even tripled.
