Eagle Byzantium

"Yes, the Lombardy land to the west of Bari is where money merchants and loan sharks gather (in the Middle Ages, people from all over the world used to call loan sharks Lombards, until the Jews later became the same as them), which is particularly convenient In short, after storing a certain amount of coins, we can consider establishing a bank in the city of Bari. Okay." The widow closed her eyes and stroked her belly, which was about to give birth. She was very quiet. "Now there are such institutions in places like Pisa and Milan. The Holy See also collects tithes from various places and faces the same situation as Seleucia. It is difficult, so centrally storing gold coins in this kind of bank, coupled with the additional support of the Seleucia Treasury, can produce a very stable and powerful virtual currency. Then we can lend money to monasteries, merchants, rich farmers, and even royal families and lords of other countries, or loan houses, and enjoy the benefits of interest. This will quickly form a business group in Bari and Seleucia, which can take care of local affairs. The large hospital manor can also handle large quantities of business, and it is not difficult to build a trading fleet, just like my belly. Give birth to something new." As she spoke, the widow patted her stomach, and the two girls who were listening also laughed - the little sunfish was smarter and could quickly understand what the widow was talking about as a "bank". It was a good idea, but she didn't bother to think deeply about other things; but Hertomia was more cautious, and she was determined to go back and look through the books, and study this mechanism in various manuscripts.

Afterwards, the widow put the compiled will and deed back into the box and pushed it towards the girl of the Orson family, "hurry up and send it to Gawain to browse. After you have asked for instructions, you can stamp them in turn."

At this time, Anna turned from the balcony and walked into the hall, interrupted the widow's words, and interrupted with a serious expression, "There is no need to ask the barbarian for instructions. At this moment, he has left Seleucia and gone to the city of Tarsus, deploying troops on the side. It’s time to assist Bohemond in the decisive battle at Samosata. Our time is limited before the dark clouds in the sky engulf this land..." At this time, Hertomia and Agnes. They all became solemn and silent.

Indeed, looking from the city, the black rain clouds coming from the plateau have covered the entire Mut River Valley in darkness, and are rapidly approaching here - "I got three messages, one is Barry Idorus, archdeacon of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in the city, my true teacher, has passed away and ascended to heaven, leaving me only There is a precious legacy of manuscripts; therefore, I am going to send Gottschalk to take his place, and incidentally perform the task of monitoring the movements of the city of Rome. It is said that the Western Patriarch is also terminally ill and has only a short time to live. Grana has already passed away. Waiting there for orders, the election of the Patriarch of Rome will soon affect the political situation, so we must be cautious; thirdly The news is that my father has captured the Ferna Castle in Isauria in the west, thus opening up the passage from the south to the north of the mountain. It is said that he is gathering 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers, divided into two groups, and marching separately. Coming to the city of Konya in Giliki and our Seleucia, everyone, the storm and war in the west are coming, and my father will not allow me. It is impossible for Gawain and Gawain to turn a blind eye to our letter of "donating all the territory to the big hospital"..." At this moment, thunder and lightning illuminated the originally darkened hall, Anna's conclusion was clearly audible, "Now there are so many gifts from big hospitals, and we have to survive the attack of this war to enjoy them."

"Yes, yes, I am willing to fully support you." Before the widow finished speaking, her green eyes suddenly shrank, then she frowned, covering her stomach, with a very embarrassed expression, "I, I— —”

"What, are you hungry?" Anna was very surprised, thinking that the fish in today's meal was not fresh enough.

"My belly, my belly, is constantly shrinking. It's causing me so much pain that I can't breathe." The widow was sweating and breathing very quickly. Amid the girl's screams, she held on to the corner of the table. , leaning on the chair, the documents on the table were crooked and scattered on the floor.

When the two maids hurriedly walked to the outer hall of the entrance hall, Mrs. Qise heard about the situation and immediately walked in and said to Anna, "Please don't panic, Your Highness, please bring the cupbearer, His Excellency Stavlajos." Called to deal with all this, because Inglina is going to give birth.”

"Oh, oh, okay, okay." Anna's eyes widened, and she kept saying as she saw that Qise had helped the widow up.

"Inglina needs a small room that is sheltered from the wind, as well as a hot water basin, cloth belts, curtains and other things." Qise quickly requested the widow who was holding her stomach and screaming. The little sunfish stood by at a loss, but Hertomia was calm and immediately took out a bunch of keys from the cabinet, "Please follow me, madam."

After the fat eunuch skillfully gathered all the manpower needed for delivery, female doctors and elderly maids to the room on the lower floor of the Acropolis, the situation was settled. Although Staurachos was fat and sometimes a little Corruption, but he is still very familiar with handling this kind of palace affairs. Soon, Anna, who was sitting on the other side of the hollow wall in the delivery room, heard the widow's earth-shattering scream. She was so frightened that her hair stood up immediately. She stood up quickly and moved to the hollow wall. Agnes and Hector Tomia was also lying there - Mrs. Qise did not allow them to help, "Inexperienced women are more troublesome."

"What's going on, what's going on, you're not going to die, right?" Anna panicked.

Because the cry was too scary, but Anna didn't get an answer, the two people beside her were also full of fear and tension. This expression could be seen on Hetomia, and the little sunfish's tongue was frightened again, "It's so scary, it's so scary."

After a while, through the gauze curtain, Anna saw Mrs. Qi Se stood up, holding a small black shadow upside down in her hand. The black shadow also had hands and was waving around. Then there was a crisp sound. Qi Se slapped the back of the small black shadow hard, and then the loud sound suddenly deafened her ears. It was the cry of a child.

Then, Anna saw Qi Se stretched out the small black shadow that was moving and crying, and the widow's shadow on the bed actually stretched out her hand to take it.

"...The big barbarian is a Varyag, and so is this widow, so her and the child's physique is amazing. If it were me, would I faint and go back?" Anna was shocked and thought secretly.

Mrs. Qise came out tiredly with her hair on her forehead, standing in front of the washstand in the corridor on the side of the wall, washing her arms. "What blessing did you get?" The girl from the Orson family asked softly.

"It's a healthy baby boy." Qise replied with a smile, and then she looked at the purple princess who didn't say a word, "In two days, we will return to Ingrina's mansion."

"Don't be so polite, it's okay to stay here until you recover." Anna didn't want others to think she was narrow-minded, and then she took a few steps forward, and smelled the faint smell of blood on Qise's arm. She immediately felt dizzy and couldn't help but retching while covering her mouth and running out uncontrollably. (To be continued ~^~)
