Luther knew a long time ago that in order to gain status, two factors are necessary: financial resources and force. These two factors complement each other.
What happened to the Barton family this time made Luther understand this even more.
If Old Sol hadn't suddenly come over, even if their vassal knights were able to break out, they would probably have suffered heavy losses.
Lady Sophie.
Uncle Lipton, cousin Newton.
I don't know how many people would die in that civil strife.
This is an extraordinary world, where the power of individuals has become extremely powerful. The power of order is relatively weak.
Just like the United States in previous lives, when people had guns, shootings would occur frequently.
It's like Baron Barton was hit by a magic cannon and his body was completely gone.
If there was no strong force to protect him, not to mention Pompeii's own life, it would be possible to turn into dust in a painless moment.
The internal strife in the Barton family made Luther realize this more deeply.
Therefore, if you want to make money, you must make money and turn it into your own combat power. When it comes to expanding your combat power, nothing is more suitable than expanding your father's combat power.
A great knight, even a parallel importer, is still a big shot in Orange and can be a powerful deterrent.
On the contrary, even among the ten high-ranking knights, none of them has a deterrent effect.
Of course, a normal force should be pyramid-shaped. www..com has top-level combat power, as well as middle-level and bottom-level combat power.
Pompeii in the future should also be equipped with a small number of high-level knights and a large number of junior and intermediate knights.
But the problem is that the Pompeii family currently has no knights they can trust. Just like the guardian knights of the Barton family, each family of guardian knights has served the Barton family for at least a hundred years.
Hisoka and Ruffin may have considered the future of the Barton family, so he chose to make Lucy and Barton the new Baron Barton.
But we have to deny that the guardian knights betrayed their responsibilities and the laws of the nobility. This led to internal strife in the Barton family and caused great harm to the Barton family.
These families may also make such moves under these circumstances.
Not to mention the hastily recruited knights.
Loyalty is not guaranteed.
Luther will build a supernatural school in the future to cultivate his own extraordinary power. Whether he is a commoner or a noble, as long as he receives education in Pompeii's school, he will definitely have a natural loyalty to Pompeii.
But Luther doesn't have so much money yet to push Pompeii's education to a higher level. Under such circumstances, spending money desperately to train dad to become an elite knight, or even a knight, is a very important thing.
Good choice.
As long as there is top combat power, even if this force is extremely weak, it can still become a top force. www..com
"Don't worry, Dad, money is not a problem." Luther put his arm around Old Sol's shoulders and said with a relaxed smile.
"You kid, you are neither old nor young." Old Sol couldn't laugh or cry and slapped Luther's hand away.
Soon after, the father and son got off the roof and went to do their own things.
……………
On the way to the Golden City.
Wrong, it should be on the road from Kaiyue City to Golden City. Because if you don't explain clearly, you won't be able to tell the difference.
All avenues in Orange can lead to the Golden City.
It is winter now, the depth of winter is about to pass, and spring is about to come. It is too cold, too cold. So there are not many travelers on the road.
Pompeii's team was very large.
It consisted of 250 carts, corresponding cartmen, a team of 500 guards, and 20 knights. Among them, even the senior knight of Orange Hot Springs Resort, Knight Smith, was temporarily borrowed by Luther.
Because the entire Orange is filled with various thieves groups, if there are no high-level knights in charge, such a large team will be robbed many times along the way to the Golden City.
However, in order to prevent some powerful thieves from spying on this team, Luther also displayed the coat of arms of the Pompeii family. Don’t be ridiculous.
Now the Pompeii family has a certain reputation throughout Orange, not only because of the Autumn Wind Bandits incident and the Orange Hot Spring Resort incident, but also because of the Pompeii family's great knights, Thor and Pompeii.
No one would easily offend a great knight.
Thieves are also bullies who are afraid of the strong.
In the black carriage, the only carriage in the team, Luther put down a document in his hand.
This is a law just promulgated by the Count of Libya, Consul of Orange, concerning wine.
Before this, Luther had always been worried that Pompeii wine had no technical content and did not require super high winemaking technology or excellent winemakers.
The current Pompeii wine is definitely not as good as the high-end liquors in Luther's previous life, such as Maotai. Calculated, the current Pompeii wine should be equivalent to the low-end liquors produced by the assembly lines in the previous life.
The only thing is strong.
For such low-end liquor, if someone wants to peek into the technology, the chance of theft is 100%. Fortunately, no one has done this kind of thing before.
The Count of Libya promulgated this law not long ago, requiring all famous wines with names to be registered in the Golden City. Once officially registered, they will be protected by the Count of Libya.
Anyone who steals technology or counterfeits alcohol will be cracked down by the entire Orange official force.
Liquor property rights were protected by the Libyan count.
But this was not the result of Luther's activities. It was a law promulgated by the Count of Libya and many great nobles after consultation.
Because in the entire Orange, the largest red wine production workshops belong to the great nobles. From top-grade wine to ordinary wine, they are almost monopolized by the great nobles.
Protecting wine property rights is equivalent to protecting their own interests.
Luther's Pompeii wine took this ride and became a wine protected by all the nobles of Orange. In this way, Luther did not have to worry about his technology being stolen.
Before the opening of the Orange Hot Spring Resort, Luther hoped to earn enough funds to expand the Pompeii family's combat power during this period, mainly to improve his father's combat power and protect himself.
So this time Luther led a huge team, with five thousand barrels of Pompeii wine, to the Golden City to develop the market.
Now that there is a law officially promulgated by the Count of Libya, Luther would be really sorry for himself if he did not sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange.
But Luther is planning to change the model of selling alcohol a little bit.
Luther planned to invent a wine selling model that had never appeared in this world. He hoped to sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange in a short period of time.
The reason why the Golden City was chosen as the first stop is because the Golden City is the economic center of the entire Orange. If Pompeii Wine opens up in Orange, then the markets in other cities will also easily open up.
Golden City is so awesome.
Pompeii is still far behind.
