This is a small knight's territory, there are not so many bells and whistles, only agriculture is the foundation. Everyone present knows this.
As a blacksmith, Bob still dreams of becoming a great farmer.
Little Maya is Bob's daughter, and she has watched farmers farm since she was a child.
all in all.
Mrs. Sophie opened her red lips slightly, revealing her snow-white teeth, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have changed into the shape of $$.
It's all money.
Old Sol opened his mouth, as if he had seen the most incredible thing.
Teacher Qiao Xiu, Magellan, Xiu Xiuya, and Lelouch all looked like this, as if they were printed from the same mold.
"Luther, is this the "plow" you are talking about? There are actually cows that can plow the fields. Although your manure fertilization plan is unreliable, this can be done. Let's spend money to buy cows immediately, just buy Bass
If you want to buy fifty cows, don’t buy a hundred cows.”
Old Sol looked excited.
Although he usually has a deep and majestic look on his face, at this time he was as excited as a country boy who had just seen patches of gold.
It's so exciting.
Limited to the title, the territory of Pompeii has always been small. Not only Old Sol, but also the lords of Pompeii have always been eager to develop the territory and strengthen the family.
But with little success.
Old Saul originally had high hopes for Luther, but after hearing Luther's unbelievable idea of fertilizing the fields with manure and using oxen to plow the fields, he immediately turned into disappointment.
He wholeheartedly planned to let Luther go to the royal capital and join the Knights.
But when he actually saw the scene of cattle plowing the fields, this idea was immediately forgotten. Luther, my son, was born to be a lord, and he would be the mainstay of Pompeii in the future.
Hey, this is my old Sol's son.
As for how he rejected Luther that day, Old Saul had completely forgotten.
Luther curled his lips when he heard this. The time for spring plowing is very short. If the caravan sets out to buy cattle now, it will be too late when it comes back. It will have to wait until next year to use it.
Fortunately, he got the support of Mrs. Sophie, otherwise the plan would have been postponed for a year.
Old Sol is really a slow guy.
But on the other hand, Luther was very happy. It was great to show off this time. Old Sol, a rich country man, you finally know how powerful I am.
"It seems that I have to spend some time on Tiematun. I won't be able to catch up this year. But I can cut down the forest and build farmland in my free time. If I can expand Tiematun by one or two times, then our family may be able to have more
A knight who serves the Pompeii family."
Magellan was shocked and had some plans in mind.
Since the Pompeii family was too young, the Pompeii family could provide for their children to become knights. For example, in Luther's generation, Luther, William, and even Mary would receive knight education.
But the Magellan family can only pass it down from generation to generation.
Who doesn’t want to grow the family?
Magellan felt that there was an opportunity right now, so when he looked at "Plough", his eyes were like seeing gold.
"I really underestimated him. Cows can actually be used to plow fields, so it doesn't seem impossible to fertilize the fields with manure. With this two-pronged approach, Pompeii will grow stronger in a few years. If there is an opportunity,
Attract more free people. Then the Pompeii Territory may really become a city. And with the strength of a city, it does not seem impossible to seek a title. After all, although the Pompeii family is only a hereditary lord, they come from
The blood of the ancient count is a pure noble."
Lelouch's eyes flickered, filled with surprise.
After experiencing setbacks in his career, he returned to the countryside of Pompeii where he was born and raised in frustration. He accepted Luther's invitation and became the mayor of Pompeii.
I originally thought that I was just waiting to die, but I could help the development of Pompeii Territory by the way. With a lot of hard work, I might be able to double the development of Pompeii Territory.
Unexpectedly, what was in front of him was Zhuangkang Avenue.
Lelouch looked at Luther with fiery eyes, as if he saw a future.
All in all, everyone present was full of shock, full of hope, and full of longing.
Faced with Old Sol's shock, and as if he had forgotten that he had rejected Luther, he now shamelessly said that he wanted to buy a hundred Bass cows.
Mrs. Sophie rolled her eyes at Old Sol and said angrily: "If I had listened to you, sir, there would be no cows left. I sent someone to buy them a few days ago, a total of sixty Bass cows, and they will be there soon."
came back."
Of course, Old Saul didn't forget that he rejected Luther, he just pretended to forget. Now after listening to his wife's words, Old Saul suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
But it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.
Old Sol has a lot of manly ideas.
Seeing Old Sol's shriveled appearance, Luther smiled. He turned to look at Lelouch and said, "Sixty Bass cows will arrive soon, so I asked Senior Lelouch to share the cows. Tell me.
They can give these cattle to them. But next year they must cut down the forest and open up new fields. I hope that the fields in Pompeii territory will be doubled next year."
"Little Luther, don't worry. What the free people care about most is the land. In the past, they wanted to cultivate the land, but they didn't have the energy to take care of the farmland. Now that they have cattle, you don't need to tell them, they will be eager to cultivate the fields. Pompeii
The family will definitely grow and develop.”
Lelouch said with certainty with a slight smile.
"That's good." Luther nodded heavily.
Show off, show off.
wrong.
It is Luther's job to make important people in the territory realize the importance of the plow. But this kind of thing is important in a moment, and there is no need to mention it repeatedly.
Therefore, Luther did not make much fuss about this matter in the following period. The Pompeii Territory developed steadily.
With the efforts of free people in various villages and serfs, the roads in Pompeii were quickly repaired. Even in remote places, the roads were smooth and wide.
Not even a piece of human feces can be seen on the road.
Under the supervision of their respective village chiefs, the freedmen carefully dumped their own excrement into their farmland.
Even if it’s a little reluctant.
All in all, it was still the same sentence. They did not dare to resist Master Luther. They just resisted symbolically in their hearts.
No one believes that manure can really increase crop yields.
At this time, as spring deepened, a warm south wind blew into the Pompeii Territory. Located in the south, the Pompeii Territory, which has always been warm, ushered in the time of spring plowing.
At this time, sixty Bass cattle also came from the northern road.
You must know that the entire Pompeii Territory is very small. Although the Pompeii Territory also raised some knights, the number has never been large. Just Luther, Magellan, Old Sol, even if you add William and Xiu Xiuya, two quasi-knights.
Not much meat is consumed, and Pompeii Ranch alone can be self-sufficient.
Purchasing sixty Bass cattle at one time was definitely a big deal for Pompeii.
