The Extraordinary Earl

"Uh!" Bowei was stunned by the question. As an elite warrior, Bowei is best at fighting and killing.

He had followed Lord Old Sol to fight against the enemy several times. But Bowei was also born in a farming family and was a native of Pompeii.

So Bowei was not proficient in agriculture, but he knew enough.

Therefore, Bowei was very confused about Luther's words, and even a little confused. Not only Bowei, but also the other guards were confused.

Manure fertilizes the fields?

What the hell is this?

However, Bowei and the others were soon relieved, because the man in front of them was Master Luther, and this master had only done one thing since he was a child.

Become a qualified knight lord.

Cultural courses, knight courses.

Hard training, hard learning of knowledge, and mastering of social skills, with only this one purpose. Therefore, it is understandable that this young master does not understand agriculture.

"Master Luther, the most important thing for this kind of field is to turn the field and weed. As long as you do these two things, you can have enough food. As for pouring manure, it is disgusting and will breed pests."

Bervi explained patiently.

"What the hell is this?!" This time it was Luther's turn to be confused. Pouring manure will breed pests?

What the hell.

What the hell.

What the hell.

It took a while for Luther to calm down and tell himself that this is a different world, a different world, and it is better not to substitute the common sense of the previous life.

These natives have no habit of using manure to fertilize the fields, and they just rely on the weather for food.

But this is also good. Luther was a little confused about how to develop his small knight territory. Now it's good, the goal is very clear.

Increase crop production.

Let the territory have a good harvest this year and increase tax revenue. With tax revenue, you can do a lot of things.

Just do it.

By the way, Luther also noticed one thing. Turning the field, what is turning the field, isn't it plowing the field?

A desire for knowledge forced Luther to ask about this matter.

"How do farmers usually turn the fields?"

After asking, Luther was ashamed. No matter what world it is, this should be common sense. It is really shameful to ask such a low-level question.

Fortunately, Bo Wei and others are very considerate of this noble lord and have no intention of making fun of him. Bo Wei continued to explain patiently: "Of course, it is with a hoe."

"This is a lot of work. Farmers are really hard."

At this point, Bo Wei sighed again.

Luther was confused again. My God, reclaiming the fields actually depends on manpower. You know, in ancient China, farmers knew that cattle could be used instead of manpower.

This world is really weird.

Okay, let me sort it out.

The people in this world don't know how to use feces to fertilize the fields, and treat feces as garbage. They also urinate and defecate everywhere. Collect the feces first, and then fertilize the fields.

In this way, it not only beautifies the environment, but also increases the fertility of the land.

Then send people to build roads. As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first.

Finally, find a way to get a batch of cattle, and not ordinary cattle, but a more docile breed of cattle. I don’t know if there is such a breed in this world.

Then make a batch of plows.

Use cattle power instead of human power.

This not only increases the output of the land, but also saves manpower. Maybe we can cut down trees and open up new land next year.

Well, let’s do this for internal affairs first.

I’m really too smart.

Luther thought happily in his heart.

As a time traveler, this turns out to be my golden finger. I am a man who has mastered a lot of knowledge for five thousand years.

Commonly known as the King of China.

Well.

"Let’s go back." Luther waved his hand excitedly, turned his horse’s head, and headed straight for Pompeii Castle.

Commonly known as a comeback.

Xiu Xiuya, Bo Wei and others met each other. Master Luther looked a little wrong today. However, although they were confused, they still followed closely.

Soon Luther returned to Pompeii Castle and dismissed everyone. Luther went straight to Old Sol's study and went to discuss with his father.

There was no way.

Although his father gave him the right to intervene in the territory, this matter was a bit big. If he couldn't convince his father, everything would be in vain.

One word, money.

A penny can make a hero fall.

We need to set up an internal affairs department, called the City Hall for short. We need a mayor and several office staff. This part of people must be paid.

This is a fiscal expenditure.

It doesn't matter if we build roads, just ask people to find strong men from each village to build the road. In this Pompeii territory, the Pompeii family can still call on the people to do this smoothly.

There are also cattle and plows.

It takes money to build a plow, and it takes more money to buy cattle. Not only does it take money, but it is a lot of money.

There is no way, meat is very expensive in this world. And providing abundant meat is the key to training knights.

There are a group of livestock in the ranch of the Pompeii family. But it could barely provide for Sol, Luther, William of the Pompeii family, and Magellan and Xuxua father and son of the Iron Horse family.

The rest of the warriors rarely had enough meat.

This was the reality, meat was very expensive.

To buy cattle, at least sixty cows were needed. Each village needed at least five cows, and Pompeii had ten villages. And plus the fields that belonged directly to the Pompeii family and were cultivated by serfs.

Sixty cows was the minimum.

This money is a large amount of money, and it is a huge amount of money for a small knight lord family like the Pompeii family.

Old Sol must be convinced.

In fact, Luther was a little worried about whether he could convince Old Saul. After all, the matter was too big. However, we don't have any chance of winning.

The chance of winning lies with the stepmother, Mrs. Sophie.

Mrs. Sophie is the daughter of a businessman, although this status makes Old Sol feel a little grudge. However, Mrs. Sophie came with a large dowry, and Mrs. Sophie was good at running the house. Currently, there is a small treasury belonging to Mrs. Sophie in the Pompeii family.

Luther's idea was to make a small sum of money.

hey-hey.

Within this year of traveling back in time, Luther fully knew that this Mrs. Sophie was really good to him.

This is also one of his benefits.

For other time-travelers, when they meet their stepmother, there will definitely be a bloody drama. Here at Pompeii's house, his relationship with his stepmother was not bad.

Good thing.

Everything will be happy if the family is harmonious.

Luther walked into the study excitedly and met Old Sol.

The study is full of the atmosphere of a Pompeii home, simple but not luxurious. There is only a desk, a chair, and a row of bookcases.

At this moment, Old Sol is writing something on his desk. Although Old Sol looks very majestic, he is a standard warrior. In fact, Old Sol has a lot of ink in his belly and can also write poetry.

"Why are you so restless?" Old Sol raised his head and looked at his eldest son coming in excitedly. He frowned and shouted.
