Luther couldn't help shrinking his neck. This was the normal old Thor. A strict and rigid guy, he was promoted to a knight three days ago. Old Thor showed his love for his son.
Luther suspected that there was something wrong with his memory.
Maybe this is what is called fatherly love?
Luther felt a little heavy and strange in his heart.
No, I'm here to fool people today, to find a way to get some money out of old Sol's wallet, not to feel the father's love.
Luther shook his head and threw away unnecessary thoughts. Then Luther was very serious and said, "Dad, I found a major problem in the territory."
After listening to it, Old Saul found it a bit funny and a bit ridiculous.
You have to know that it has been hundreds of years since the first generation of Pompeii Knights separated from the ancient Count of Pompeii and arrived here.
This territory was reclaimed bit by bit by the first generation of Pompeii Knights. Even many of the free people here are descendants of the followers of the first generation of Pompeii Knights.
The word Pompeii has extremely high prestige in this territory.
Besides, as a lord, he can be considered merciful.
The Pompeii family's kingdom can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.
As long as the Pompeii family's rule is consolidated, other things will not be a big problem.
Although this boy became a junior knight and had a certain status in the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
But still too young, too impatient.
Maybe he discovered a small problem and got startled.
Really lack of exercise.
At this time, Old Thor's thoughts were a little free, "Should I send this kid to the capital to join the Knights and receive formal military training?"
If I could make some great friends in the Knights of the Royal Capital, maybe the power and status of the Pompeii family would be greatly improved.
Thinking of this, Old Thor's heart suddenly moved.
Old Sol was a man who acted on his thoughts, so he ignored Luther's words and said seriously, "Luther, I plan to send you to the Knights of the Royal Capital for formal military training."
Damn, there is no way to communicate.
Are we talking at cross purposes?
Luther felt like he was going crazy.
"Dad, I am serious. I swear in the name of Pompey that I have discovered a major problem in the territory." Luther held his head high and risked his own name in exchange for the serious attitude of this unreliable father.
Luther thought this was really silly and cute.
"Have you discovered a new party? Or a dark wizard?" The surname Pompey is very important. At least in Old Sol's heart, it is very important, beyond life. So after hearing what Luther said, Old Sol also became serious and asked with emotion.
Luther finally couldn't stand it anymore. God knows how his father got involved with the New Party and the dark wizards again.
It has been a year since he traveled through time, and Luther knows about the new party, as well as the dark wizards.
These are two forces that gave Prussia a headache. The former was composed of civilian knights who intended to overthrow the aristocracy.
The simple explanation is that the common people who possess the power of knights are no longer satisfied with their status, so they form cliques and form new parties.
This is the enemy of all the nobility.
A dark wizard, also called an evil wizard, is a wizard who does evil things.
Damn it.
But then again, in a remote place like Pompeii, it is easy for these two forces to appear. No, my father led me astray.
"Would you mind letting me tell it myself?" Luther shook his head. His short golden hair exuded the aura of a handsome guy, but his face looked serious.
"Speak." Old Thor crossed his hands on the desk and said seriously.
The atmosphere was serious, as if it were a military meeting.
"I think the agriculture in Pompeii is too backward, which is a huge waste. I intend to reorganize agriculture and improve the overall agriculture in Pompeii, thereby increasing tax revenue. I may even cut down forests, increase arable land, attract more free men to Pompeii for farming, and develop Pompeii into a city."
Luther said very seriously, it’s just a scam, just a big promise.
Old Thor's serious expression relaxed a little. It turned out that it was about developing the territory, not discovering the dark wizard and the new party.
To be honest, Old Thor was really scared and sweating. Even though he was a strong knight who had experienced many battles, he was still terrified by these two forces.
These two forces are not something a small knight lord can deal with.
After relaxing, Old Thor felt a little relieved. This son was quite good. Although his knight talent was not as good as his, he was willing to develop the territory.
that is good.
You have to know that Old Thor's strength is his muscles, but his weakness is that he knows nothing about the development of the territory. He can only barely maintain the territory passed down by his ancestors.
"I'm glad you thought of developing your territory. But you're too ambitious. Have you ever heard of a knight lord whose territory is a city? That's at least the territory of a baron."
Although Old Saul was relieved, he still couldn't help finding fault with Luther.
What Old Sol said was the norm in the Kingdom of Prussia, where great nobles would have direct territories, including one or even several large cities.
No knight lord would have a city as his fiefdom.
Because that might arouse suspicion from the host family.
That’s right, although the Pompeii family is the lord of Pompeii Territory, they have a direct lord above them. Their line is directly under a baron and they are the baron’s vassals.
The relationship is like that between the Pompeii family and the Tiema family.
"What a weak baron! Sooner or later, I will become a great nobleman above the rank of earl." Luther certainly knew the truth behind this. Precisely because he knew this, Luther was even more dismissive.
However, he did not intend to argue with Old Thor about this. If he told his goal, he would probably be beaten up by Old Thor.
You are too ambitious.
According to the ancient Chinese saying, "The one who destroys my family must be this rebellious son."
In short, don't argue.
Therefore, Luther said seriously: "Dad, I admit that developing a city is too unrealistic, but by increasing the population, land, and income to a certain extent, we can raise more soldiers and train more civilian knights like Mr. Magellan with the financial income, and increase the combat effectiveness of the territory. This is also very good."
Upon hearing this, Old Thor stretched out his right hand and touched his stubbled chin, thinking to himself, "There is some truth in what you said."
As a strong knight, Old Thor did not deny that he wanted to have more troops.
"Okay, I'm convinced by you. What do you think?" Old Thor looked up at his eldest son seriously.
