It's not just Lady Sophie.

This is a small knight territory, without all the fancy things, agriculture is the foundation. Everyone present knows this.

Although Bob is a blacksmith, his dream is to become a great farmer.

Little Maya is Bob's daughter, and she has also been watching farmers farming since she was a child.

all in all.

Mrs. Sophie slightly opened her red lips, revealing her snow-white teeth, and her beautiful eyes seemed to have turned into the shape of $$.

It's all money.

Old Thor opened his mouth as if he had seen the most incredible thing.

Teacher Joshua, Magellan, Shuushua, and Lelouch all look like this, as if they were printed from the same mold.

"Luther, is this what you call a 'plow'? There are actually cows that can plow the fields. Although your plan to fertilize the fields with manure is unreliable, this is possible. We will spend money to buy cows immediately. Let's buy Bass cows. Buy fifty, not a hundred."

Old Thor looked excited.

Although he usually looked sullen and dignified, at this moment he was as excited as a countryman who had just seen piles of gold.

It's so exciting.

Due to the limitation of the title, the territory of Pompeii has never been large. Not only Old Sol, but all the lords of Pompeii have always been eager to expand their territory and strengthen their family.

But the results were minimal.

Old Sol originally had high hopes for Luther, but after hearing Luther's incredible ideas such as using manure to fertilize the fields and cows picking up hoes to plow the fields, his hopes immediately turned to disappointment.

She was determined to have Luther go to the capital to join the Knights Templar.

But when he actually saw the scene of the oxen plowing the fields, this idea was immediately forgotten. Luther, my son, was born to be a lord, and he would be the pillar of Pompeii in the future.

Hey, this is my old Sol's son.

As for how he rejected Luther that day, Old Saul had forgotten it completely.

Luther curled his lips when he heard this. The spring ploughing period is very short. If the caravan sets out to buy cattle now, it will be too late when they come back and they will have to wait until next year.

Fortunately, he got the support of Mrs. Sophie, otherwise the plan would have to be postponed for a year.

Old Sol is a really slow guy.

But Luther was very happy on the other hand. He felt great showing off this time. Old Saul, you country rich man, finally realized how powerful I am.

"It seems that I have to put some effort into the Iron Horse Village. 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 double or triple the size of the Iron Horse Village, then maybe we can have one more knight to serve the Pompeii family."

After being shocked, Magellan came up with some plans in his mind.

Due to the small size of Pompey's territory, the Pompey family could provide their children with the opportunity to become knights. For example, Luther's generation, Luther, William, and even Mary would all receive knight education.

But Magellan's family could only have one son from generation to generation.

Who doesn't want to expand his family? Magellan felt that this was an opportunity, so he looked at "Plow" with eyes that were like seeing gold.

"I really underestimated him. Cows can actually be used to plow the fields, so it seems possible that their manure can be used to fertilize the fields. With this two-pronged approach, in a few years, Pompeii Territory will grow and develop. If there is an opportunity, it can attract more free people. Then Pompeii Territory may really become a city. And with the strength of a city, it seems possible to seek a title. After all, although the Pompeii family is only a hereditary lord, they are of the bloodline of the ancient earls and are pure aristocrats."

Lelouch's eyes flickered with surprise.

After experiencing many setbacks while out on the road, he returned disheartenedly to the countryside of Pompeii where he was born and raised. He accepted Luther's offer and became the mayor of Pompeii.

I originally thought that I would just eat and wait for death, and at the same time help the development of Pompeii Territory. With my hard work, maybe I could double or triple the development of Pompeii Territory.

Lelouch looked at Luther with fiery eyes, as if he saw the future.

In short, everyone present was filled with shock, hope, and longing.

Faced with old Saul's shock, and as if he had forgotten that he had rejected Luther, he now shamelessly asked to buy a hundred Bass cattle.

Mrs. Sophie rolled her eyes at Old Sol and said angrily, "If I listened to you, sir, I wouldn't have any cows. I sent someone to buy sixty Bass cows a few days ago. They will be back soon."

Of course, Old Sol had not forgotten that he had rejected Luther, he just pretended to forget. After hearing what his wife said, Old Sol suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

But it was impossible for him to admit his mistake.

Old Sol is a very manly man.

Seeing Old Thor's frustrated look, Luther smiled. He turned to look at Lelouch and said, "Sixty Bass cows will arrive soon. I'll ask Senior Lelouch to distribute the cows. Tell them that these cows are fine as gifts. But they must cut down the forest and open up new fields next year. I hope that the fields in Pompeii will be doubled next year."

"Little Luther, don't worry. The freemen care most about 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 oxen, you don't need to tell them that they will be eager to cultivate the land. The Pompeii family will definitely grow stronger."

Lelouch said affirmatively with a slight smile.

"That's good." Luther nodded heavily.

Show off, pretend to be cool.

wrong.

It was Luther's job to make important people in the territory realize the importance of the plow. But such things were important only in a moment, so there was no need to mention them repeatedly.

Therefore, Luther did not make any further comments on this matter in the following period of time. Pompeii Territory developed very steadily.

Thanks to the efforts of the free people and serfs in various villages, the roads in Pompeii were quickly repaired. Even in remote areas, the roads were flat and wide.

There isn't even a speck of human excrement on the road.

Under the supervision of their respective village chiefs, the free people meticulously dumped their own feces into their own farmland.

Even though I'm a little reluctant.

In short, it's the same thing. They didn't dare to resist Master Lude. They just symbolically resisted in their hearts.

No one believes that manure can really increase crop yields.

At this time, as spring deepened, a warm south wind blew over Pompeii Territory. Pompeii Territory, located in the south and usually warm, ushered in the spring ploughing season.

At this time, sixty Bass cattle also came from the northern road.

You have to know that the entire Pompeii Territory is very small. Although Pompeii Territory has also raised some knights, the number has always been small. There are only Luther, Magellan, Old Saul, and even if you add William and Xiu Xiuya, the two quasi-knights.

The amount of meat consumed is not much, and the Pompeii Ranch alone can be self-sufficient.

Purchasing sixty Bass cattle at one time was definitely a big deal for Pompeii.

One of a kind.

And what exactly will this lead to?

Only Luther was grinning.

Such a happy laugh.
