Chapter 10 Plan B

Finally, this irrelevant conversation ended. Luther breathed a sigh of relief. He was so tired and upset.

In a happy mood, Luther told Old Sol about his plan.

It was those three points: building roads, fertilizing fields, and using cattle to plow fields.

Luther finished quickly and explained the reason behind it, trying to make it as simple as possible. So that this native father could believe it.

But the effect was not very good. Old Sol was confused after listening.

Okay, let me sort it out.

Old Sol was confused and tried to make his brain work. This eldest son, whose knight talent was slightly worse than his, had the determination to develop the territory.

The roads in the territory were not easy to travel, and Old Sol knew this. But Old Sol was reluctant to spend money to build roads. Anyway, Pompeii Territory did not have any special products, and naturally no large caravans came.

Building roads would be useless.

Thinking about it this way, it didn't matter if it was bumpy.

But if the road near the castle is not smooth, it will affect the face of the Pompeii family, so Old Sol made the road near the castle very smooth, and didn't care about other places at all.

I don't know if Luther is crazy, he actually wants to build a road.

Old Sol made a cross in his mind and decided to reject this one first.

Next is to use manure to fertilize the fields, which is nonsense. Old Sol is a strong knight with amazing combat power. He really doesn't have much ability in economy, agriculture, and developing territory.

But Old Sol still has some basic common sense. Is there any book in the world that says that manure can be used to fertilize the fields?

Anyway, Old Sol doesn't know about this.

And the thought of putting manure into the field and then growing wheat, soybeans and other grains is disgusting.

So, Old Sol made a cross in his mind again and decided to reject it.

Finally, using cattle to plow the fields is simply a fantasy.

Horses can pull carts, how can cattle plow the fields?

Can cattle use hoes?

Old Sol simply couldn't imagine a cow holding a hoe with its front hooves and its hind hooves standing upright, drinking beer while plowing the field.

That scene was really disgusting.

Old Sol made another cross in his mind and rejected it again.

So, Old Sol looked up at this weird eldest son, who was still looking forward to it. It wouldn't work at all, it was bullshit.

So, Old Sol said in a very serious tone: "Luther, I think you are too idle in the territory and it is easy to have wild thoughts. It is necessary to send you to the capital to join the Knights and receive military training."

Yes, although it was not directly rejected.

But it was actually the same as rejection.

I want to develop the territory, increase income, buy magic potions, become stronger, have a hard stool, cough, in short, to become a man of great nobles.

How can I go to the capital to join some bullshit Knights and be a soldier?

Definitely not.

"Dad, I also think I am just daydreaming. I will definitely reflect on it. As for joining the Royal Capital Knights, let me think about it."

At this point, Luther immediately ran away. This bumpkin dad is hopeless.

But fortunately, I have a plan B.

My biological father is unreliable, so I have to rely on my stepmother.

"Luther, Luther." Old Sol called twice, with dissatisfaction on his face. He was a little regretful. After his son became a junior knight, was he too relaxed in educating his son?

Luther didn't care what his father thought. After leaving his father's study, Luther went to the second floor and found Mrs. Sophie's study.

Mrs. Sophie was a very capable woman. She not only handled the things in the castle in an orderly manner, but also took out her own private money to do some business.

The business was not big, but it could make some money.

This was precious to the weak Pompeii Territory at present.

So Mrs. Sophie had her own study in the castle.

Mrs. Sophie's study is completely different from that of Old Sol. There is only a desk and a chair in the study. In addition to writing tools, there is also a pot of flowers on the desk.

On the opposite wall, there is an oil painting that Mrs. Sophie likes.

Mrs. Sophie's taste is much more elegant than Old Sol.

Mrs. Sophie was buried in the desk, checking the account book. Hearing footsteps, she put the account book down and looked up. Seeing that it was Luther, she showed a gentle smile on her face.

"Luther, didn't you go to inspect the territory? Why are you back again?"

Mrs. Sophie's voice was as gentle as her smile.

Unlike dealing with Old Sol, Luther came to the study and bowed deeply, then begged: "Mom, I want to borrow money from you."

Mrs. Sophie's pretty face showed a look of surprise. To be honest, as a stepmother, Mrs. Sophie felt that she was very hard.

When she married, Luther was still a little kid, and he was full of vigilance and rejection of her as a stepmother.

If this happened to an ordinary woman, even if she didn't abuse her adopted son, she wouldn't treat Luther too well.

But Mrs. Sophie was a very gentle and kind woman. She pitied Luther, who had lost his mother at a young age. She treated Luther as her own son and loved him in every way.

There is a reward for giving. From Luther's respectful attitude towards her over the years, it can be seen that the relationship between mother and son is very harmonious.

And Luther's personality is also very good and very self-disciplined. Except for some trivial things in life, he basically never bothered her.

Not to mention borrowing money.

As the eldest son of the lord's family, the young master has been living and growing up in the castle.

What does he need money for?

Mrs. Sophie's first thought was that Luther was in love, which made sense. When a young master who has always had everything he wanted needs money, it is usually for women.

But Mrs. Sophie quickly gave up this idea, because there were no other nobles in this huge territory.

And the girls who are generally worth Luther's money should be noble ladies. Because the daughters of commoners, especially the girls in Pompeii, if Luther likes them, the other party will happily climb into Luther's bed.

Only when facing noble ladies, Master Luther needs to spend money to buy gifts and create romance.

In other words, Luther does not borrow money to make women happy.

What is that for?

As an extremely dedicated stepmother, Mrs. Sophie suddenly became serious.

"Luther, tell me your reasons. If you can't convince your mother, then don't think about getting even a copper coin from your mother."

Mrs. Sophie said seriously.

So, Luther took a deep breath and told Mrs. Sophie again about the plan to build a territory for old Solti.

To be honest, Luther was still a little nervous.

Although this stepmother seemed more reliable and softer than old Solti.

But if he couldn't convince her successfully, it would be terrible.

Should he take out a loan to build a territory?

Are there banks in this world? Do they support loans for minors?

It seems not.
