In fact, Luther's prestige exceeds that of all the Pompeian Knights of all generations.

Among the Pompeii knights of all generations, there were also excellent knights, but they were all knights with very strong combat capabilities. On the contrary, there were very few lord-type knights.

Otherwise, the Pompeii family would not have been in this state for hundreds of years.

The stories of the Pompeii knights who possessed powerful fighting abilities would certainly be sung by others, but for the subjects, although they sounded romantic, they had no practical significance.

But Luther was different. He improved the quality of life of the free people in Pompeii.

Moreover, Luther was also eliminating another class, the slave class.

Of course, those slaves who are controlled by whips and are like walking corpses, like livestock, cannot feel the friendliness of Luther and Pompey at the moment.

They are all insensitive guys.

Because they have been controlled for too long, the children of these serfs, the next generation of teenagers and children, when they grow up, will feel the kindness of Luther Pompey and will be sincerely grateful.

Of course, this must be guided, and this is also one of Luther’s future tasks. As a qualified lord, Luther must unite people’s hearts.

The core of uniting people's hearts is two words: kindness.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.

All in all, Luther's road to becoming a lord is still very long, especially if he wants to become a great noble.

The territory was filled with the joy of a good harvest, not only in the No. 7 village, but also in the No. 1 to No. 9 villages, including the Iron Horse Village.

There were countless people like Asma, and everywhere they went, they were in a frenzy. While each village was working hard to harvest food, they chose to hold a banquet at night.

Although the dishes were not rich, and the most precious ones were sausages, bacon, and Pompeii wine, the people were still extremely happy and intoxicated.

After the wheat is harvested and roughly processed, it is transported to the wheat flour processing plant in the territory and eventually turned into white wheat flour.

The wheat flour was divided into three parts by the farmers: one part was used to pay taxes, one part was used for their own consumption, and the rest was sold to the lord in exchange for money, and eventually turned into various daily necessities.

The Pompeii family would transport the purchased wheat flour to Kaiyue City for sale and earn some money.

This was also one of the important sources of income for the Pompeii family in the past, and it will still be one of the important sources of income after the territory expands and the area of ​​farmland increases.

The Pompeii family used to rack their brains to create income to maintain the survival of the family, buying wheat flour, operating an exclusive blacksmith shop and a grocery store, but the result was still very bumpy. It was not until old Sol married Lady Sophie that the situation improved slightly.

Luther's Pompeii wine and agricultural reform plan brought about major changes.

Life in the Pompeii family is much better now.

The joyful atmosphere of the autumn harvest is still continuing, and this atmosphere may continue into next spring, or even the whole of next year.

It can be imagined that in the next year, the free people will have money to drink and spend, and the economic level in the territory will rise.

This is the people's business, a happy business.

As the lord, Luther, the Knight of Pompey, put away the joy of this year's autumn harvest and began to look forward to the future.

According to the plan, Luther began to build the city.

The city construction plan has been brewing for several months, and even the location of the city wall has been marked. All we have to do is purchase stones from Kaiyue City and recruit craftsmen to start construction.

But there were still some things that needed to be sorted out, so a meeting was held in Pompeii City Hall.

In addition, Mr. Qiao Xiu, the former tax officer of the territory, also attended the meeting.

Old Saul didn't come, so Luther, as the next generation of Pompeii Knight, was responsible for attending the meeting.

After several months of training, Lelouch looked more capable. He even grew a beard, like the big mustaches that were once popular in Europe.

Luther thought it was funny to have such an old-fashioned beard at such a young age. But Lelouch felt pretty good about himself and was very energetic, so Luther couldn't say it directly.

I'm sorry.

In any case, Lelouch sat in the mayor's seat, showing a very strong aura.

"After calculations and comparison with last year's output, this year's autumn harvest is 35% more than last year's. According to past practice, the family would purchase the surplus grain from farmers and then sell it in Kaiyue City. However, because of this year's recruitment plan, a large amount of grain reserves are needed, so this batch of grain will not be sold, and a granary will be built in the city for storage."

"According to the plan, our city is circular with four gates. The gate area will be set up as a military area, guarded by guards and knights. In this way, the granary can be built in the military area, which can directly provide granaries to the army and also provide defense for the granary."

"The relocation plan for the serfs will also be launched."

"in addition…….."

Lelouch asked various details and made plans one by one. Finally, Lelouch asked Luther: "Knight Luther, this is the plan for building the city. Do you have anything to add?"

In private, Lelouch calls Luther "Luther", but in formal occasions, Lelouch always respects Luther and calls him Knight Luther.

"The gentlemen present here are all excellent people, and I trust you." This was Luther's opening remark, and it worked very well.

Not only the officials of the city hall, but even Lelouch straightened his chest a little, feeling very useful. After the opening remarks, Luther said, "There is nothing else to add, just one thing. In addition to the basic survival supplies given to the original family serfs as usual, I want to give them some more supplies to supplement their nutrition and increase their motivation. You discuss it and list it out."

Officials were not surprised by Luther's addition.

Luther, Pompeii.

This lord is recognized as a benevolent acting lord.

Even the freemen gave Luther a nickname.

Just like the nickname "Executioner" given to the cruel Marquis Parker, it is very much in the style of this world.

Called "the Merciful One".

Why not call him the Lord of Mercy or the Knight of Mercy.

But being called the Merciful One seemed a strange nickname to Luther.

But since everyone thought the nickname was a good one, and Luther was too embarrassed to order it to be changed, it was confirmed.

Merciful one.

Luther, Pompeii.

The meeting ended quickly. The construction of the city was no longer a plan, but a task to be implemented. The Pompeii family took another important step.

Build a city.
