At this time, the sound of fingers tapping on the table was heard. Lelouch and the officials turned to look at Luther.
Although Lelouch is the mayor of Pompeii, everyone knows that the only one who can truly make the final decision is the acting lord in front of him, the next generation of Pompeii Knights.
Moreover, the Pompeii family gradually became stronger because of Luther, and the officials also trusted Luther very much.
"We can't let speculators do whatever they want, but we can't stop the middle class and rich people who really want to live in Pompeii. Let's make a law."
"Pompei welcomes everyone to come and develop in Pompeii, but every house in Pompeii must be occupied by someone, whether they live in it themselves, or whether servants live in it and take care of it temporarily. If the house is purchased,
If no one moves in within a month and the stay does not exceed eight months in a year, a tax of 50% of the house price will be levied."
Luther said.
Officials thought about it and found that this method is indeed feasible. First of all, it will not stop the middle class and wealthy people who want to live in Pompeii.
Living there for eight months a year is not too difficult.
Secondly, speculators can also get a house, but they must hire someone to live in the house. If it is a servant in their own home, it will bring consumption.
If people were hired to live in Pompeii, it would create jobs.
If this is not possible, 50% of the price of the house will be levied as a retaliatory tax.
The most important thing is that in a land with a lord, the lord can specify the law. What Luther says now is the law, and even the king cannot overrule it.
"Okay, I will issue an announcement and announce this law. But Luther, this only temporarily solves the matter. The more important thing is that we need more manufacturing and create jobs. You have to think about it carefully.
Already."
The mayor took action and reminded Luther.
"knew."
Luther rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired.
Alas, it is not easy to develop a city.
There is no such thing as a newspaper in this world, but this does not prevent the government from issuing announcements. Notice boards were designed on many streets in Pompeii.
Under Lelouch's initiative, this law was officially promulgated, and many city hall employees were dispatched to post it on various bulletin boards.
This incident caused some excitement.
"Damn it, wouldn't my house be bought for nothing?"
There was a crowd of people crowding in front of a notice board. One of them, a middle-aged man who was very well-dressed and had a red head and nose, threw away the handkerchief in his hand and stamped his feet angrily.
His name is Albus, and he is a nobleman from Silver Wing. He has no other abilities, he just inherited an inheritance from his parents, and relying on a little cleverness, he specializes in speculative business.
This time, he took a fancy to the future potential of Pompeii and bought two villas in the center of Pompeii, planning to wait for the appreciation in value.
Waiting for the storm in that hot spring resort.
But obviously this speculation was unsuccessful. At least Pompeii's city hall was not so easy to deal with.
In order to purchase these two villas, Albus not only spent money, but also paid some taxes. But what faced Albus was that he had to either sell these two villas and lose taxes in vain.
Or hire someone to help him take care of the villa.
No matter what choice Albus makes, he still needs to continue to pay for Pompeii. And the hot spring resort storm still needs to wait for more than ten months, and it may also be stillborn.
"I will sell one and keep the other." Albus made the decision bitterly, feeling a lot of resentment towards the word Pompeii.
There are many speculators like Albus. These people either retreated or chose to wait and see. No matter what they did, they all contributed to the development of Pompeii.
House prices in Pompeii have also been stabilized.
There is also a part of the middle class who really want to develop in Pompeii, and they are quite excited.
The Alna family is one of them.
The Arner family came in a carriage, accompanied by a coachman, five male and female servants, and a servant's child.
The Arner family are not aristocrats, they are just wealthy commoners and middle class.
The male head of the family, Arna, was originally a small businessman in the city of Sparta, running an ancestral antique shop, and the business was not bad.
However, following the brutal style of Marquis Parker, Arna became one of the people who fled the city of Sparta. The destination of his escape was Pompeii, which had become increasingly prosperous recently.
"The Pompeii family was really resolute. They prevented the rise in housing prices." Arna is a middle-aged man with a very ordinary appearance, but his clothes are very decent, which suits his middle-class status.
"I first plan to buy a house, and then see if there is an antique shop in the city. If there is no antique shop, we will return to the old business. If there is already an antique shop, then I want to find a job in the city hall."
Alna said to his wife.
"You just decide."
Arna's wife said.
Pompeii successfully prevented an action that would cause great harm to Pompeii and also made his voice heard.
Pompeii's voice will be the only voice in the city.
Pompeii was the lord here.
please remember.
Guys with ulterior motives.
But just like what Lelouch said, if Luther doesn't do something, Pompeii will gradually die. It would be good if it can survive the hot spring storm.
It would be terrible if you can't survive it.
So Luther found his partners.
Luther was in a small conference room in a private villa in Pompeii. Luther was sitting in the main seat, his face extremely serious. There were three people sitting below him, namely Amanda, Alice, and Mr. Solon.
This Mr. Sauron is Lipton, a sibling of Sauron, and is a person sent by six families to supervise the financial operations of the Orange Group.
It can also be regarded as a representative of six families.
I heard that he was a very shrewd businessman before that.
Amanda, Mr. Soren has been staying quietly in Pompeii, and also goes to work in the Orange Group's office regularly. Only Miss Alice, the beautiful eldest daughter of the baron, is the only one.
It had disappeared for a long time and only recently returned to Pompeii.
At this moment, she seemed a little tired from the journey. She yawned lazily, looked at Luther with blurred eyes and said, "Luther, why did you bring us here?"
"Didn't you say you want to take a share of the metropolitan development process? Now is the time for you to contribute."
Luther said seriously to the partners.
He seems to be a greedy poisonous snake that wants to suck up every gold coin of his partners.
