"My Pompeii was designed to be a small town with a population of 5,000. Now it has less than 3,000 residents. What business can you do in such a small town?" Luther said unhappily.

But something moved in my heart.

Not long ago, Luther had a plan to build a city.

It requires the participation of several financially strong forces like the Morgan family. Otherwise, it would take the Pompeii family alone many years to build a metropolis like the Golden City.

To build a city, one must first attract population.

There are many ways to attract population, and using low housing prices is one of them.

But this is only suitable for small cities. If Pompeii becomes a big city, then this method will not be possible.

Then the only means left is to create an artistic atmosphere, gather a large number of artists, and create a large number of sculptures, villas, and landscapes that are like works of art.

Improve the quality of the entire city.

Business.

By improving the scale of the city's manufacturing, service and financial industries, prosperous business can create a large number of jobs and attract a large number of residents to live there.

A large number of schools were also established, including ordinary schools, music schools, painting schools, and extraordinary schools, with strong educational power to attract a large number of aristocratic children to come and study.

In short, there are many ways to make a city prosperous.

But what do you do first? First you need real estate development.

To build a city as powerful as the Golden City, the amount of gold coins needed might be as high as tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. The Pompeii family was just laughing.

look on in despair.

Therefore, in the early days, several large families were united in real estate development, and then the real estate was sold together.

You have invested money, so you must introduce population.

Let the merchants handle the business, and the business department of the Pompeii family can also get a share of the profits. As for the construction of schools and art in the city, it can be handed over to the city hall.

Once it reaches a certain scale, the construction of various theaters, performance venues and other entertainment facilities must also keep up.

Once the city grows to a certain size, various families will come to the city with their funds, and then look for business opportunities and make investments. Eventually, the city will become as huge as the Golden City.

It even has its own Wizard Street.

What Luther thought was that although this troublesome woman in front of him was troublesome, she seemed to be very rich.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to collect 200,000 gold coins.

This is still cash. If converted into various industries, this girl might be a millionaire.

"You built a medium-sized opera house in a small town with a population of 5,000? Is this really a small town with a planned population of 5,000 in the future? Don't lie to me, Luther. You want to build a city, right? If you build a city, the profits you can share will be huge."

Miss Alice rolled her eyes. She had to admit that a woman who exuded hormones looked pretty even when she rolled her eyes.

Apparently this Miss Alice is not that easy to fool.

Luther couldn't help but let out a few dry laughs.

"Not only do I have money, I also have extensive connections in several surrounding territories. I know a large number of nobles, artists, scholars, knights, and wizards. These elites are indispensable to building a city. You will never suffer any loss if you cooperate with me."

Miss Alice said excitedly.

Luther was even more moved when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that this troublesome woman could not be driven away.

Luther spread his hands and said frankly, "I do want to build a city, but unfortunately building a city is a very difficult thing. The current plan for Pompeii is 5,000 residents, but there are only 2,000 to 3,000 people living there. I have to complete the first-hand plan before I can expand it. So it will take some time to build the city. But I have a project that requires people like you who have connections and funds to work together. Do you want to participate?"

Luther did have a good idea.

As long as it succeeds, there will be no problem taking the potion until old age.

Once we have gathered enough money, it will be much easier for everyone to develop the city together.

"What project?" Alice suddenly became interested. She was full of confidence in Luther. The guy in front of her was the most capable lord in the history of the Pompeii family. He was a genius who developed Pompeii to its current level in a short period of time.

"In addition to you, I have also contacted a group of people. Let's sit down and talk about it together when the time comes." Luther shrugged and kept it a secret.

Luther's plan was to bring together several financially powerful forces to develop the city.

The Morgan family counts as one, the six families count as one, and the Pompeii family counts as one, but when you count them all, their power is still a little small. It is just right that Miss Alice comes to the door at this time.

"Can't we handle this project together? That's really a big plan." Miss Alice was even more excited and didn't blame Luther for keeping it a secret.

Alice was very interested in Luther's project, but she didn't give up on her own plan. She leaned forward slightly, showing off her fullness.

He asked, "Luther, I plan to open a bar here first. Do you have a suitable house?"

"Bar? What is a bar?" Luther asked.

Are there bars in this world? Luther has never heard of them.

"This is a tavern that has become popular recently, but it is a tavern that serves the nobility and the middle class, so it is called a bar. Not only does it provide alcohol, but it also has delicious food and piano performances. In short, it is an elegant-looking tavern."

Alice did not look down on Luther for being a country bumpkin, and explained it patiently.

"Okay." Luther shrugged, and it sounded no different from the high-end bars in his previous life.

Anyway, Luther planned to recruit Alice, so he had no objection to Alice opening a bar in the city. A professional and elegant bar that provided a place for leisure for the nobles in the city seemed very good.

"There is a house that is quite suitable. I'll take you to see it." Luther stood up and said.

"Okay." Alice also stood up with a smile.

Then the two of them left the castle together. Luther even got into Alice's flashy golden carriage and drove through the streets, attracting a lot of attention.

Soon after, Luther stopped the carriage near a street corner. In front of the carriage was a circular three-story building.

The first floor is big, the second floor is small, and the third floor is the smallest.

Several streets nearby are commercial streets, but there are not many people at the moment.

"I originally planned to let the family open a clothing store here, but because of a shortage of manpower, it was left vacant. If you want to open a bar, it's quite suitable, and the price is not expensive, just 120 gold coins. You can go to the city hall to handle the transfer procedures and get the property certificate."

Luther said.

The cost of building a house like this, including the land, is about 70 or 80 gold coins, so selling it for 120 gold coins is not expensive.

This is a low housing price policy.

But even if they could earn forty or fifty gold coins, it would still be an income. With the sale of real estate, the financial situation of the city hall improved further.

“It’s on the corner of the commercial street, pretty good.”

Alice looked around and felt quite satisfied.

"I will form a team in a few days and transport all the good wine here. Once the bar is built, it will definitely be luxurious," said Alice.

“Your investment will definitely be worth it.”

Luther said with a smile.
