The noise made by Luther and his group was quite loud and soon attracted the attention of the knights who were training in the open space outside the village.

The knight was a middle-aged man with a square face. He was stern and had a tall and strong build, which made him look very majestic.

He is Chevalier Michel.

Born into one of the six great knight lord families, he had been living in a remote barony in the Province of Orange before defecting to Pompey.

Life was pretty okay. Knights could find jobs as guards anywhere and make a good living.

But making a living outside is always worse than returning home. So after receiving the letter from his family, Knight Michel immediately returned to Baron Baron and became one of the guard knights of the Pompey family.

Ability.

It's just average.

Knight Michel has reached middle age, but he is still a junior knight, and is mediocre among junior knights.

It is estimated that Knight Michel will never reach the level of an intermediate knight in his lifetime. However, he also has his merits, he is meticulous in his work and very steady.

For a small knight lord family like the Pompeii family, people like Knight Michel are the backbone. Because he is meticulous in his work, Luther gave him the temporary guarding of Pompeii Village No. 1 and the task of training militia.

"Disband on the spot, get tools, help cut down the forest and cultivate the fields." Knight Michel ordered the militia to disband on the spot, and then trotted all the way to meet Luther.

"Knight Luther."

Knight Michel placed his right hand on his chest and bowed in greeting.

"It's nothing big. It's just that Pompeii Village No. 1 has been built. As the acting lord, I want to take a look at this village." Luther waved his hand and dismounted.

At this time, Xuxua and another knight also dismounted. The guards took the initiative to come up and grab the reins to control the horses.

That’s right, Luther came here this time for this simple yet complicated purpose.

Take a look at your own village.

Simple, right? Of course it’s simple, just walk around and take a look.

But it’s not simple.

As a qualified lord, Luther must know his territory well. Moreover, this is the first step of Luther's development plan, the first of the twenty villages to be built, so of course Luther has to come and take a look.

By the way, after these days, some civilians were brought back, and Pompeii Villages 2 to 4 are currently under construction.

These villages are quite far apart and currently look like islands, inserted deep in the forest. However, once the deforestation is completed, they will be connected together.

At present, Luther is quite satisfied with the progress of these works in the territory.

"How is the training of these militiamen going?" After Luther briefly explained the purpose of his visit, he got to the point and asked.

Take a look and understand, it’s not just talk.

"Not bad. Years of hard work have made the militiamen very strong. They are also able to use bows, swords, spears, etc., but they are still far from being elite. If they encounter a war, they can only rely on the village for defense. After all, they are a militia team that was hastily formed."

Knight Michel explained meticulously.

No perfunctory, no excuses. In his eyes, this militia is really just a mob. Knight Michel is such an upright and serious knight.

"No matter what happens, I will be satisfied if I can rely on the village for defense and wait for reinforcements. I don't expect them to become an elite army."

Luther said he was very satisfied.

As for the militia, there is no need to worry too much about their combat effectiveness, as long as they have a basic level.

After a brief conversation with Knight Michel about the militia, Luther began to enter the village, where only the elderly and children were left.

Some elderly people came to see Luther and were very humble.

Luther's attitude was of course kind. He asked the guards to give the old people some wheat cakes and some beer, and asked about life in the village.

The result is satisfactory. We don't know if the weather will be good or the crops will be good, but we can still live and work in peace. The people now have food and drink, and are working hard to cut down the forest.

After chatting for a few minutes, the old people became bolder.

One of the old men asked Luther, "Knight Luther, I heard that the field we want to cultivate is very large and cannot be taken care of by manpower. I also heard that in Pompeii, there is a tool called a plow that can let oxen help plow the fields. I don't know what this plowing oxen are?"

The other elderly people also pricked up their ears, as this was a matter of concern to everyone.

There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. Besides, Pompeii Village No. 1 is also a village under Pompeii, so of course the wind also came here.

When the old people heard that they could ask cows to help plow the fields, they were curious, excited and eager.

There is nothing to hide about this matter. Anyway, we have to make full preparations before the spring ploughing next year. Speaking out now will help to stabilize people's hearts.

Luther smiled and said, "Yes, I will prepare the plows and cattle before the spring plowing next year. But I must tell you one thing first. Bass cattle are very valuable, so I cannot provide them to you for free. I will only lend them to you temporarily. After the autumn harvest, you must work together to buy the cattle."

It’s not that Luther is stingy, but that cow is really expensive.

Isn't developing territory just for money?

Some farm tools are not bad as they are not worth much money, but Bass cattle are so precious that farmers have to scrape together money to buy the cattle after the harvest.

It is not provided free of charge.

Anyway, because of the use of cattle to plow the fields, the amount of land that farmers can cultivate has increased greatly, so they can definitely afford to buy Bass cattle.

"Don't worry, Knight Luther. We will be satisfied if the Bass cow can be loaned to us for one year. With the help of the Bass cow, we can take care of more fields, and it will not be a problem to buy the cow next fall."

The old man patted his chest and made the promise.

The other elderly people also had smiles on their faces and were looking forward to the future.

The feeling of the gold coins was just that they could eat and drink well and feel stable here. But their feelings were deeper because they saw the future.

This kind of future is not to be seen in Parker Territory.

The "executioner" Marquis Parker was so cruel that he wanted to put all the gold, silver and copper coins in the territory into his own wallet.

It was a great decision to come to Pompeii.

"Oh, and besides that, don't urinate or defecate casually. Clean up the livestock feces on the road regularly. You must do this regularly. If you violate this rule, I will punish you."

Luther thought of this incident and reminded him.

In fact, Luther had already checked along the way. The road was clean and there was little feces or anything like that. The officials of the city hall must have told the people about this before.

But in order to prevent the people from relaxing their guard, Luther mentioned this again.

"Knight Luther, please rest assured. We will abide by this." The old men said hurriedly.

Although it is strange to fertilize the fields with feces and not to urinate and defecate anywhere, it is a small matter compared to the current stable life in Pompeii.

Definitely comply.
