Chapter 49: Construction of the City

The two little lolita at home are temporarily put aside. Luther's main job is not a brother, but a lord's heir.

The next generation of Pompeii Knight, Pompeii Baron, Pompeii Count.

So after training, Luther's job is still the construction problem in the territory.

Of course, Luther does not coordinate personally, he just assists on the side and occasionally interrupts. Because the mayor of Pompeii is Lelouch.

He is the chief planner and does not need to do it himself.

It will take some time for Stone, Pompeii and others to successfully bring in population, so the current work is to build the city. After a period of coordination.

Lelouch began to repair the city wall.

Repairing the city wall is not a simple job, it is a very complicated job. The first thing is to demarcate the area of ​​the city wall, and the second is to involve the type, height, and thickness of the city wall.

Today is still a sunny day, the hot summer day makes the temperature around very high, even to the naked eye, it seems that even the space is distorted.

Luther and Lelouch stood on a farmland, surrounded by green wheat. Their entourage also included the squire knight Shushuya and a team of guards.

Because they came on horseback, the guards were watching over the horses to prevent them from trampling the farmland.

Lelouch and Luther both wore hats, which didn't help much, but brought some coolness.

Lelouch also had a blueprint in his hand, which was a floor plan with a circular building that looked like a city.

There were four city gates, and watchtowers and arrow towers were arranged on the city walls, which were very densely distributed, showing that this was a city with extremely strong defensive capabilities.

The area was not too large, mainly because the farmland directly belonging to the Pompeii family radiated out from the Pompeii Castle in the Pompeii Territory, which was about one-third of the territory.

Next year, the serfs in the city walls will be relocated, and together with the new 10,000 people, they will cut down forests and increase the area of ​​Pompeii Territory.

There will be residential areas, commercial streets, schools, military areas and other buildings designed in the city.

The key is that the land in the city belongs to the Pompeii family. When Pompeii expands in the future and attracts a large number of people to live there, whether it is real estate or being a landlord, it will be a considerable income.

The key is to expand the industry.

Of course, what is being considered now is building the city wall, not real estate.

Lelouch pointed to the drawings and said, "I have calculated that the city wall is ten meters high and five meters thick. The required stones can be purchased in Kaiyue City. At the same time, a large number of stonemasons, workers, etc. are needed. The total cost is about five thousand gold coins. Of course, the Pompeii family certainly can't come up with so many gold coins now. So I think we can wait for a while before building it, and wait until the income from Pompeii wine is gradually credited and the funds are sufficient. By the way, the stones can also be purchased in batches, which will ease the financial pressure."

Luther nodded and looked up at the nearby farmland. If the city wall is designed according to this design, then this piece of farmland will be the foundation for building the city wall.

The wheat in the farmland grows so well, it would be a pity to destroy it. It won't be too late to build it after the autumn harvest.

As for the five thousand gold coins, Luther didn't care at all. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.

You can only do business after you put down the capital.

Besides, the income of Pompeii Wine is so high now, and the monthly sales are increasing. It should be no problem to pay five thousand gold coins.

Even if there is a problem, you can ask your father to borrow money.

Anyway, borrowing once is borrowing, borrowing twice is also borrowing.

Borrowing money to do business is the most exciting.

At this time, Lelouch remembered something, and he didn't mind the dirt and put the blueprint on the ground. Then he pointed to the positions of the gates on the four walls and said, "Oh, right. I don't have any specific plans for the various constructions in the city. Let's build the walls first. But there is one thing that must be built first, and that is the military area. Here, here, here, and here, four military areas must be built near the four walls for the guards to live in. They can quickly support the defense of the walls during wartime, and they can also be responsible for gatekeeping, patrolling, training, etc. in peacetime."

Speaking of this, Lelouch looked up at Luther and said, "And this leads to another problem. For such a large city, you need at least 500 guards for defense. This is the most basic, and it can't be less."

"In other words, I have to select 500 guards from the 10,000 people I brought, plus the 2,000 people in the territory, to provide food, weapons, armor, and military training. This is another large sum of money."

Luther rubbed his temples and felt his body was hollowed out.

Even if Pompeii Wine has a good income at present, it can't withstand such expenses.

Building a city is indeed not a simple matter. For example, the Patton family's Kaiyue City, it has gone through countless generations of barons to reach its current size.

A tall building starts from the ground.

Now Luther relies on the advantage that he can make money and the cattle plan he made, which can greatly promote agricultural development and introduce population.

If he doesn't have some skills, it really won't work.

The finances are a bit tight, but there are cities, population, and knights, but there are no corresponding guards, which is not in line with the configuration of a city.

After thinking about it, Luther gritted his teeth and said: "Gold coins are like the grooves on a woman's chest. There will always be some if you squeeze it. I will find a way to do this."

Lelouch felt very novel about Luther's statement. But after thinking about it, I really think it makes sense, those women who dress up gorgeously.

Often showing a large area of ​​white in front of her, desperately showing that cleavage.

Lelouch has never seen a woman without cleavage since he was a child.

But Lelouch suddenly smiled and said, "Little Luther, I heard that you are still a virgin. Do you know what a woman's cleavage feels like?"

Luther was a little angry and said with a roll of his eyes, "Who said that? I have a lot of experience."

He muttered in his heart.

"Is watching porn considered experienced? I have seen a lot of women's cleavages."

Then, Luther thought again in his heart.

"Ruth should also work harder. Although she can't marry her as a wife, it is also good to develop a special relationship that transcends the relationship between men and women. The most important thing is to get rid of the hat of virginity."

"How can I, Luther, Pompey, the next generation of knights be virgins?"

It's also good to talk about these leisure things after work. Time passed quickly, and Luther returned to Pompeii Castle with Lelouch, Shushuya, and the guards.

Now everything is empty talk, and the specific implementation will have to wait until after the autumn harvest.

This year's autumn harvest will surely be a bountiful one.

Luther was very confident when he thought of his method of using manure to fertilize the fields.

The territory will get better and better. Next year, the farmland in the territory will expand and agriculture will flourish. However, because of the one-year tax exemption, the tax will be collected the year after next.

But in the end, the financial situation will get better and better.

The Pompeii family will become richer and richer.
