"Huh!" Bo Wei was stunned by the question. As an elite warrior, Bo Wei was naturally best at fighting and killing.

He had followed Lord Old Sol to fight against enemies several times. But Bowei was also born in a farming family and was a native of Pompeii.

So although Burvie was not an expert in agriculture, he knew enough about it.

Therefore, Bo Wei was extremely confused and even a little bewildered by Luther's words. Not only Bo Wei, but also the other guards were confused.

Manure as fertilizer?

What the hell is this?

However, Bowei and the others were soon relieved because the person in front of them was Master Luther, and this young master had only done one thing since he was a child.

Become a qualified knight lord.

Cultural classes, knight classes.

The only purpose is to train hard, study hard, and master social skills. Therefore, it is understandable that this young master does not understand agriculture.

"Master Luther, the most important thing for this kind of field is to plow the field and weed. As long as you do these two things, you can have enough to eat. As for pouring manure, that's disgusting and will breed pests."

Bowei explained patiently.

"What the hell is this?!" This time it was Luther's turn to be confused. Pouring feces would breed pests? What the hell.

What the hell.

What the hell.

It took Luther a while to calm down and told himself that this was a different world, and it was better not to use the common sense of his previous life.

These natives have no habit of using manure to fertilize the fields and rely on the weather for their livelihood.

But this is also good. Luther was a little confused about how to develop his small knight territory, but now it is good. The goal is very clear.

Increase crop production.

Let the territory have a good harvest this year and increase tax revenue. With tax revenue, we can do a lot of things.

Just do it.

By the way, Luther also noticed one thing. What does it mean to turn the field? Isn't it the same as plowing the field?

A desire for knowledge forced Luther to ask about this matter.

“How do farmers usually till their fields?”

After asking the question, Luther's face was filled with shame. No matter what world it was, this should be common sense. It was really shameful to ask such a low-level question.

Fortunately, Bo Wei and others were very considerate of this noble lord and did not want to make fun of him. Bo Wei continued to explain patiently: "Of course, use a hoe."

"This is a lot of work. Farmers have a really hard time."

Speaking of this, Bo Wei sighed again.

Luther was confused again. My god, cultivating the fields actually depends on human labor. You know, in ancient China, farmers knew that cattle could replace human labor.

This world is really weird.

Okay, let me sort this out.

The people in this world don't know how to use feces to fertilize the fields. They treat feces as garbage. They also defecate and urinate everywhere. Collect the feces first, and then fertilize the fields.

This not only beautifies the environment, but also improves the fertility of the land.

Then people were sent to build roads. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

The last thing is to find a way to get a batch of cows here, and not just ordinary cows, but a more docile breed of cows. I don’t know if there are any in this world.

Build a new batch of plows.

Use ox power instead of human power.

This not only increases the productivity of the land, but also saves manpower. Maybe next year we can cut down trees and reclaim new land.

Well, that’s what we’ll do for domestic affairs first.

I am just too smart.

Luther thought happily in his heart.

Commonly known as the King of China.

Um.

"Let's go back." Luther did it as soon as he thought of it. He waved his hand excitedly, turned his horse's head, and headed straight for Pompeii Castle.

Commonly known as a sneak attack.

Xiu Xiuya, Bo Wei and the others looked at each other. Master Luther looked a little strange today. However, although they looked confused, they still followed closely.

Soon Luther returned to Pompeii Castle and dismissed everyone. Luther went straight to Old Saul's study to discuss things with his father.

no way.

Although his father gave him the right to intervene in the territory, this matter was a bit big. If he couldn't convince his father, everything would be in vain.

In one word, money.

A penny can make a hero fall.

We need to set up an internal affairs department, let's call it the city hall. We need a mayor and some office staff. We need to pay salaries to these people.

This is a fiscal expenditure.

It doesn't matter if you build a road, just ask people to find strong men from each village to build the road. In Pompeii territory, the Pompeii family can call on the people to do this smoothly.

There are also oxen and plows.

It costs money to build a plow, and it costs more to buy oxen. Not only money, but a lot of money.

This can't be helped, meat is very expensive in this world. Providing abundant meat is the key to training knights.

The Pompeii family had a group of livestock in their ranch, but they could barely provide food for Sol, Luther, William, and Magellan and Xuxua from the Iron Horse family.

The rest of the soldiers rarely got enough meat to eat.

That's the reality, meat is expensive.

To buy cattle, at least sixty cows were needed. Each village needed at least five cows, and Pompeii owned ten villages. In addition, there were fields directly under Pompeii's family, which were cultivated by serfs.

Sixty cows is the minimum.

This is a huge sum of money. For a small knight lord family like the Pompey family, it is a huge loss.

This will have to convince old Saul.

In fact, Luther was a little worried about whether he could convince Old Saul, after all, the matter was too big. However, we were not without a chance of winning.

The chances of success lie with stepmother Lady Sophie.

Mrs. Sophie was the daughter of a merchant family, and although this identity made Old Sol a little uncomfortable, Mrs. Sophie brought a considerable dowry with her, and Mrs. Sophie was good at managing the household, so there was still a small treasury belonging to Mrs. Sophie in the Pompeii family.

Luther was planning to take advantage of that small treasury.

hey-hey.

During the year since he came here, Luther has fully realized that Mrs. Sophie is really good to him.

This is also one of his benefits.

For other time travelers, when they meet their stepmother, there will definitely be a bloody plot. But in Pompeii's house, he has a good relationship with his stepmother.

That's good.

A harmonious family brings prosperity.

Luther walked into the study excitedly and met old Saul.

The study is full of the atmosphere of Pompeii's home, simple but not luxurious. There is only a desk, a chair, and a row of bookcases.

At this moment, Old Sol is writing something on his desk. Although he looks very strong and a typical warrior, he is actually quite knowledgeable and can even write poetry.

"Why are you so impatient?" Old Thor looked up at his eldest son coming in excitedly, frowned immediately and shouted.
