The Extraordinary Earl

Little Maya pouted a little unhappy. She looked very cute and was wearing a maid outfit, so her pouting look was naturally cute.

Of course she had reasons to be unhappy. As the daughter of a blacksmith who had served the Pompeii family for generations, it was natural for her to enter the castle and serve as Master Luther's personal maid.

But after becoming Master Luther's personal maid, it's not the same as at home. She would stay in the castle and rarely return home.

Today she rarely saw her father, and she was very happy.

As a result, Dad was holding a piece of wood. Little Maya glanced at the plow in Bob's hand. She didn't know how to describe it, so she could only call it wood.

She hugged the piece of wood happily and ignored her own daughter, who was working as a maid in the castle, which made her very unhappy.

Then little Maya was a little curious. It turned out that this was called a "plow". What did it do?

Luther, with his thick lines, naturally couldn't notice little Maya's resentment. He looked at the plow in Bob's hands and was so happy.

Although I knew that according to Bob’s craftsmanship, making a plow would be a matter of course. But it is still something to be happy about seeing the real thing.

Luther quickly took the plow from Bob's hand and held it in his arms, stroking the plow itself as if caressing a lover.

This is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom.

Let your brilliant wisdom bloom in this world.

In a sense, this thing is much more precious than his lover. As one's strength grows and one's status rises, it is not enough to have as many lovers as you want.

The hard part now is getting the first start-up capital.

Ha ha.

Bob was smiling from ear to ear next to him, but little Maya had goosebumps. thinking in mind.

"Luther looks so strange. Doesn't he like women and this kind of wood?"

Girls mature early, and little Maya had this strange thought in her heart.

Putting aside little Maya, Luther stroked the plow for a while, and then solemnly asked Bob: "How is it? Have you passed the test?"

"Not at all. After I made it, I sent it to you, Master." Bob touched the back of his head and said a little embarrassed.

"Okay, then let's test it publicly. Uncle Bob, you go outside the castle with the plow in your arms. Little Maya, go find Butler Phelan and ask him to send someone to the pasture to find a Bass cow."

Luther gave the plow back to Bob and told the two men to follow it.

"yes."

Bob agreed happily, turned around and walked out. Little Maya is a little strange, wood? ox? What on earth is this doing?

However, although little Maya had many thoughts, she was very obedient and went on.

Soon after, Luther knocked on the doors of the castle one by one. Old Sol, Mrs. Sophie, Magellan, Shushua, Teacher Qiao Xiu, Lelouch, etc. Luther invited them out to let them witness the greatness. moment.

This is Chi Guoguo's showing off.

Similarly, it also increases the determination of important people in the territory to promote the development of the territory.

Thinking back to that time, Luther was so angry that his liver ached when he recalled the erroneous conversation he had with Old Saul.

You old-fashioned leopard.

Even if you support me in developing my territory, I won’t. Now with the full plow, let me see if you are shocked to death.

There is also Madam Sophie and Lelouch. Although they support his territory development plan, they are more or less skeptical.

The time has come to witness the results. I believe that after seeing the results of the plow, they will be full of confidence in the development of the territory.

Maybe I can get more gold coins from that stingy old Sol's hand to support my territory development plan.

Developing agriculture was Luther’s beginning, really the beginning.

Luther was a man who wanted to become a great nobleman, and Pompeii would become a real city sooner or later.

Luther called all these people out and came to an open space outside the castle. In fact, there are such open spaces outside the castle, forming a circle.

Although such an open space is conducive to enemy attacks, it is also conducive to broadening the field of vision.

All in all, a wasteland.

"Little Luther, I have an important document to deal with. If you don't give me a reason, I will make you run a hundred times around the castle." Old Sol was a little dissatisfied.

As a knight lord, there is also a lord baron above him. Something has happened in the baronial territory recently, and official documents have been exchanged closely.

He still had many things to do and no time to mess around with his son.

In Old Saul's mind, Luther was just messing around. There is still an obsession in his mind, which is to send Luther to the knights in the royal capital for training.

Conduct formal military training instead of letting Luther do some weird things in the countryside.

Teacher Qiao Xiu, Lelouch, Madam Sophie, Magellan and others didn't care. Anyway, Luther asked them to come, so they came.

In addition to these people, there is Bob holding the plow, and his daughter Maya.

Mrs. Sophie looked at Bob holding the plow thoughtfully. She was much smarter than Old Sol. Her eyes brightened a little when she remembered the plan Luther had mentioned before.

"Is this the result?"

Pompeii Territory is a territory mainly based on farming. Due to its limited population, it has not been well developed. If it can save people's manpower.

All in all, follow Luther's development plan.

That future is very good.

After waiting for a while, the old butler Feilun came, and he also brought a middle-aged man, who was leading a cow.

This is the Bass cow that Luther just mentioned. This is a very strong, very good-quality cattle breed with extremely high economic value.

Especially its relatively docile character.

This is the breed of cattle that Luther favors as cattle. This time, Mrs. Sophie sent out to buy sixty cattle outside the territory, which is also this breed of cattle.

Seeing the cow, Luther glanced at Old Sol again, and it was time to show off. Luther said to Bob, "Uncle Bob, let's get started."

"OK."

Bob nodded, put down the plow, prepared the other tools, and hitched the plow to the Bass ox. Then Bob held the plow with one hand and waved the whip with the other and began to drive the ox.

"Moo." Bass Cow swept his tail, turned around and looked at Bob docilely, then slowly started to move forward, and the plow also started working.

The abandoned land was originally very hard, but under the action of the plow, the soil was turned up one after another.

And this is also the most important job of the year for farmers.

Loose soil.

Farmers in this era did not have tools like plows, let alone the concept of plowing oxen. They wielded hoes year after year and used them to loosen the soil.

Therefore, although the entire Pompeii Territory has many forests around it, it can be cut down and turned into patches of farmland. However, due to the shortage of labor, there was actually not much farmland in Pompeii territory.

But now that the cattle have come out, with the help of the cattle, the farmland in the territory can be doubled or even tripled.
