Chapter 57 Autumn Harvest (Part 1) (Please vote for recommendation)



"Luther, my teacher is currently teaching me "Waltz Rhapsody". The teacher said that this piano piece is not complicated and my classmates are learning it very quickly, but I am the only one who cannot learn it. I am a little sad."

In Luther's study in Pompeii Castle, Luther was wearing a white shirt with two buttons open, leaning back in his chair, holding a piece of letter paper.

The window in the study was opened, and the autumn breeze, with a little coolness, entered the study. But the heat in the south is really hot, even in autumn.

Maybe it will be late autumn before we can feel the coolness.

The letter was from Miss Ruth, and the two of them had been keeping in touch through correspondence.

It can be seen that Miss Ruth was still nervous when she wrote the first letter. After all, at that time, the relationship between her and Luther was just a dance for fun.

She is a descendant of the nobility and has aristocratic status, but she does not have a territory or a castle. In fact, her family is in business.

Luther was a real nobleman who owned territories and castles.

Miss Ruth will never forget that night when the Knight of Pompeii, Sol Pompeii, only invited a few people to attend his son Luther Pompeii's ball.

However, countless girls entered the ball through various connections, with only one goal: to defeat the next generation of knights of Pompeii.

She was very surprised when Luther chose her to dance. But after that, Luther just communicated with some other noble young masters and ignored the beautiful women present.

This proves that this knight of the next generation of Pompeii actually had no intention of getting married.

But Miss Ruth was very unwilling, so before leaving, she mustered up the courage to meet Luther, hoping to maintain correspondence with Luther.

Unexpectedly, Luther agreed.

Miss Ruth should have been surprised at that time.

In short, this young lady from an aristocratic family had a little inferiority complex in front of Luther because of the difference in status, but as they exchanged letters, the communication between the two became smoother and smoother.

Just like this letter, in addition to writing about some trivial things in life, Miss Ruth also wrote some love words at the end for the first time.

Luther found it quite novel and exciting, because in his previous life, due to various reasons, he really couldn't find an ideal girlfriend.

Not to mention that a young girl actually wrote a love letter to him.

"It seems like I have been exchanging letters with Miss Ruth for a long time. Now that autumn has arrived, it seems that we should take our relationship a step further."

Luther began to feel itchy.

Although he didn't want to get married right away and restrict his aristocratic life, he would embrace countless beauties in his future life.

And Miss Ruth in front of him, in Luther's opinion, is one of them.

"Autumn is here, and the prey in the forest has grown fat and is ready for the winter. This is a good time for hunting. If Miss Ruth feels sad, come to Pompeii and hunt with me."

Luther put down Miss Ruth's letter and began to write. After writing this paragraph, Luther felt that he should also reply with some love words, but Luther really couldn't write it, so he thought about it, stood up from the chair and went to the bookcase to choose a novel about a knight and a princess.

I captured a love message from it and then copied and pasted it.

Wow, perfect! After Luther finished reading it, he couldn't help laughing.

After writing the letter, Luther put it aside and prepared to have someone take it to Miss Ruth. Then, Luther stretched his body, came to the window, stood high and looked into the distance.

Today is a nice sunny day, and it is also a good day for agricultural activities.

Farmers held sickles, harvested wheat in the fields despite the scorching heat and sweat.

This landscape can be painted.

Luther was a man with a lot of ideas and could do whatever he wanted. So, Luther quickly left the study, pulled Teacher Qiao Xiu out of the classroom, and came to his own study.

Teacher Qiao Xiu is not only a scholar, but also a painter.

However, it is said that Teacher Qiao Xiu claims that his painting skills are very poor and it is difficult for him to produce a good painting, so Luther does not know what this teacher's paintings are like.

"Luther, you called me out of the classroom just to let me see the wheat field?" Teacher Qiao Xiu stood in front of the window with Luther, looking confused.

"No, what I'm looking at is not the wheat fields, but gold. Oh, no. It's the farmers' sense of happiness from the harvest." Luther almost let it slip. In front of the great lord, farmland is actually gold.

However, what Luther said seemed too utilitarian, so Luther changed his words.

As an artist, Mr. Qiao Xiu and the acting lord Knight Luther have different brain circuits. After hearing what Luther said, Mr. Qiao Xiu looked carefully, then pinched his chin and said seriously: "I don't feel anything at ordinary times, because I have seen this scene for many years, but after what you said, Luther, it does have an indescribable charm. Because of the great farmers, we have food to eat."

Luther was ashamed after hearing this, and then he said decisively: "So, I think we should paint this scene and hang it in the hall of the castle so that the descendants of the Pompeii family will remember this scene."

"That's a great idea." Teacher Qiao Xiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked eager to try it out. He couldn't help but pick up the paintbrush and start drawing on the paper.

Soon after, Luther's study was occupied by Teacher Qiao Xiu. A few days later, a pastoral oil painting appeared in the hall of Pompeii Castle.

Very wonderful.

Whether it was Miss Ruth's letter or Teacher Qiao Xiu's words, they were really just small episodes. In this autumn harvest atmosphere, they were really insignificant.

For all Pompeii was in a frenzy of joy and excitement.

Good harvest!

A good harvest is certainly worth celebrating, but a big harvest can make all the people go crazy. Not only the free people are crazy, but also the serfs.

Because the city hall has already announced that all the serfs' grain this year will be handed over to the Pompeii family, which is the same as the original rules for serfs.

But next year, serfs can also reclaim wasteland and become free people.

It was enough for the free people to hand over a batch of grain to the lord during the autumn harvest, and the lord would receive a commission based on the output, which was the tax.

The more grain you harvest, the more tax you will collect.

However, the free people would not complain about high taxes. They would rather have more taxes, and it would be best if they paid 10,000 kilograms of taxes per acre.

And this time of great harvest means it is time to pay heavy taxes.

Because this year's harvest is 30% more than in previous years.

The manure fertilization worked, and the Lutheran Knights were agricultural geniuses.
