Chapter 76 The Sage's Book Delivered to Your Door (Begging for Votes)

Luther really felt the heavy motherly love with his body.

The weight of the clothes is not light.

Luther and Xiuxiua dismounted and entered the city hall, but Xiuxiua stayed in the lobby of the city hall, and Luther went up to the second floor to Lelouch's office.

There was a charcoal fire in the office, making it very warm. But Lelouch was still wrapped in a thick blanket and sneezed from time to time.

Poor Lelouch caught a cold.

Knights are not afraid of the cold, but Lelouch is an ordinary person and can't feel this benefit.

"It's so cold, since you have a cold, then go home and rest, what are you doing in the city hall." Luther looked at Lelouch and said in a puzzled way, and took off his hat, scarf, mask, etc. and put them on the hanger at the door.

"There are still some things to deal with. Besides, staying at home is even colder. At least someone in the city hall will make me a cup of tea." Lelouch shrugged and said.

This is also a poor man, with only a father but no mother, and no servants at home. Well, he might as well take over the city hall, and someone will take care of him.

Luther sighed and said, "Seeing your pitiful appearance, I can't help but say that you might as well marry a wife. There are so many knights in the territory now, and there are many good girls among their families. As the mayor of Pompeii, you have a very high status, and it is not difficult to marry a good girl."

"Let's talk about it later." Lelouch was not very interested, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Luther guessed that the mayor had been hurt in love when he was wandering outside.

This kind of thing can only be figured out by yourself, and there is nothing others can do about it.

Anyway, Luther will not be hurt in love. He is a scumbag and is destined to embrace the man of the forest.

"What else do you have to do in this damn weather?" Luther asked instead.

"How is it, what did you gain from this trip to inspect the territory?" Lelouch asked back.

"Nothing much has been gained. Now that the new fields have been developed, we are just waiting to plant crops in the spring. The territory is very quiet. By the way, I also gave some gifts to those lonely elderly people and families in difficulty."

Luther said.

In fact, giving gifts is Luther's purpose. He is like this. He gives warmth in winter and coolness in summer. He enjoys winning people's hearts.

"You are worthy of being the benevolent man of Pompeii." Lelouch praised sincerely. No matter what Luther's starting point is, the lord who can care about people's livelihood from time to time is absolutely rare in the Kingdom of Prussia.

"My job is to think about agricultural matters. If it is normal, wheat should be planted in the spring." Lelouch said immediately.

"Puff, puff."

At this time, the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin was burning vigorously, making a little sound.

"Don't you think wheat should not be planted?" Luther heard what Lelouch meant and asked with interest.

"I think we should plant other crops. For example, I strongly recommend planting rapeseed and olive trees. We can plant other crops the year after next."

Lelouch said.

"Plant rapeseed and olive trees. Do you want to press oil? That's true. At present, the oil, salt and other sundries in the territory need to be purchased from Kaiyue City. Not only do they need to be transported, but the price is not as cheap as what we produce ourselves. Forget about salt. We don't produce salt, but we can plant oil and some other crops."

Luther touched his chin.

In fact, it's not just the problem of oil. At present, because the number of knights in the territory has increased, the demand for meat has also increased. At present, Pompeii's small ranch is in short supply and needs to be imported from Kaiyue City.

However, if rapeseed is planted and oil is pressed next year, then another problem will arise. An oil press workshop must be set up in the territory.

This is not the job of the city hall, but the business of the Pompeii family.

How much money can a territory make? A well-managed territory is a priceless treasure. Don't just focus on that little bit of tax revenue.

"It's not just the benefit of self-sufficiency." Lelouch shook his head, then smiled and said, "Another benefit is that if our territory only produces wheat, we will definitely not be able to consume it all. We have to transport it to Kaiyue City to sell it next year, and the price of the sale will definitely not be too high. After all, those middlemen have to make a profit. And it also saves shipping costs."

Luther understood that from then on, although Pompeii Territory produced wheat, it was self-sufficient and did not plan to export it. The oil that originally needed to be imported began to be self-sufficient.

In this way, both parties saved the price difference.

On the other hand, if the Pompeii family opened an oil press workshop, purchased vegetables, fried the oil and sold it to farmers, it would be another considerable income.

And Luther also saw another way to get rich.

Oil is one aspect, and various food, clothing, housing and transportation are another aspect. At present, except for some villas that belong to the knights, the rest of the city belongs to Luther.

How many shops can be built and how much business can be done.

How many factories can be opened and how much money can be made.

Unknown.

In short, it should be a lot. Luther thought about it and felt his blood boiling. My magic potion is that sooner or later I will take drugs to become a great knight.

"I understand. The city hall will be responsible for planning. After the plan is made, we will purchase rapeseed seeds from Kaiyue City. But there is one thing, you have to teach the farmers how to grow rapeseed."

Luther nodded and explained.

"Don't worry about this, I know it." Lelouch answered confidently.

"Ah, cut." The confident man, handsome for less than three seconds, sneezed loudly, and then quickly wrapped the blanket around him.

"Poor guy." Luther sighed for Lelouch in his heart.

After chatting for a while, Luther left the city hall and returned to Pompeii Castle. He planned to meet his mother, Mrs. Sophie.

Discuss the establishment of an oil press workshop in the territory and the expansion of the ranch scale in the territory, and ask about the situation of Pompeii wine by the way.

But before that, Luther met a man, an unexpected man, the great thief Kurd.

North.

On the forest road connecting Pompeii Territory and Baron Baron Territory, a large team was slowly moving towards Pompeii.

This was the purchasing caravan of the Pompeii family. In the past, the Pompeii family had a purchasing caravan responsible for purchasing daily necessities, salt, cloth, oil, etc. in Kaiyue City.

As the scale of the Pompeii family increased, the scale of the purchasing caravan also increased many times.

Among the many carriages, there was a man lying on one of the carriages, a man who claimed to be a resident of Pompeii Territory, named Arnold.

Arnold was seriously injured.

He was disemboweled and seemed to have been poisoned. Together, he was in critical condition and only had one breath left.

The people in the caravan had never seen anyone who was not dead after such injuries.

"This man is probably a knight. Only the knight's strong body can make him survive. It's a pity. He probably can't survive."

The people in the caravan thought to themselves.
