I am reborn as a lord in Rome

In the evening, Sean walked into a tavern with two attendants.

"You two have been running with me for a day today, and you're tired, come, let's eat and drink too. Sean said with a smile, if you want to say tired, he is more tired than the two servants, at the end of the day, his legs are as heavy as a few big stones tied, and he can't suffer these hardships in the city of Lwinton.

However, Sean's mood is very good, most of the town has come down, and the evidence collected has accumulated a thick stack, each of which is a bloody accusation of Woolley's domineering, barbarism, and cruelty, and each of them is ironclad evidence of Woolley's oppression and enslavement of the townspeople.

"Thank you, Lord Sean. The two servants hurriedly thanked him, this Sean has been like a chicken blood since the afternoon, and they are really tired, thirsty and hungry now.

After ordering wine and food, Sean asked for those records from the two attendants, such an important thing, naturally put it on himself, after carefully calculating it, Sean hesitated, took out the money bag and poured two silver coins out and put them on the table.

"Reward for both of you. Sean's face involuntarily showed a trace of arrogance, this is his usual face, every time he rewards others, there will be a feeling of overpowering others, but because the number of rewards is very rare, so every feeling is very strong.

"Thank you, Lord Sean. The two attendants glanced at each other and each picked up a silver coin.

Didn't hear the words of Thanksgiving Dade made Sean a little regretful, but that's all, in the subsequent eating and drinking process, Sean couldn't help but tell him twice, Tours said that Woolley was very barbaric, he didn't want to touch this mold, just collect evidence and hand it in, how to deal with it there Archon George will not listen to his opinion anyway, in addition, since this is a thing to invite credit, Sean naturally will not even leak anything from Tours.

After eating and drinking, Sean walked leisurely to his residence. As a rule, he, an alien civil official, has such a small bedroom in the consul's mansion, but Sean doesn't want to wronged himself there, plus Tours also vacated a small mansion for him, and also arranged a housekeeper and a cook and two sprinkler slaves, so he has a taste of home, and after a while, he will meet a woman who looks passable, and this night will naturally be comfortable.

Sean soon became angry again, because he found that there was no woman selling spring in Salt Marsh Town, which was obviously a bit unusual, you must know that selling spring in the Assyrian territory is as common as selling wine, or rather, there may be a time when wine is sold out, and the woman who sells spring will not be "out of stock" at any time.

Upon asking, Sean knew that it was "Woolley's ghost".

"Okay, just wait. Sean muttered angrily, and as a result, Woolley's "crime" had one more - forcing prostitutes to be good.

Sean was angry, and the two attendants who had been following him all day knocked on Gruul's door cautiously.

"Is there something wrong?" said Gruul as he opened the door.

"Master Gruul, we have something to report to you. The two servants said respectfully, because they were arranged by the Kochi family to accompany the Guru, and at the behest of Woolley, the Guru "lost" them into the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

"Come in and talk about it. Gruul nodded.

As soon as they entered the door, the two attendants took out the silver coins that Sean had rewarded them: "Young Master, this is given by Sean."

"Keep the money for yourselves, say, what's the matter?" Guru sat on the edge of the bed, even Woolley's room was shabby and cramped, and his nature was not much better, but he had been here for so long, and he was used to the simplicity of this place.

The two servants told me about today's process, and Gruul immediately shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart This Sean is also a little interesting, but can he be a civil officer at such a level?

After the two of them were waved away, Gruul sat back and thought for a while, then got up and went out to find Woolley.

......

For two days in a row, Sean walked the streets and alleys to collect Woolley's "guilt", and the harvest was really considerable, and just when he was becoming more and more proud of this, Yandu Naru came.

Naru wasn't here for Shaun, of course, but for the salt industry in Salt Marsh - at least in terms of performance.

As soon as he entered the town, Naru went straight to the consul's residence, and after a polite courtesy, he first agreed with Woolley to go to the salt works together the next day to inspect the time, and then at Woolley's invitation, he went to visit the canal protection site, but he did not smile during the whole process, which made the atmosphere very dull.

Unlike Sean, Naru accepted the invitation to Woolley's dinner, but declined to stay at the mansion and instead asked his deputy to find a tavern to spend the night.

"It's just two nights, so there's no need for that much trouble. Naru explained to Woolley.

"In that case, as you wish, I have informed my colleagues who are still in town that you will have to have a few more toasts to you tonight. Woolley smiled and said.

Naru hesitated and nodded.

At the end of the dinner, Naru got up and raised his glass, first thanked him very seriously, and then changed his words and said: "According to the latest salt industry regulations of the city-state, from this year onwards, the inspection items of the salt works will increase, and all the parts that do not meet the requirements of the regulations will be fined, ranging from two hundred to one thousand, and my personality must have been heard of by everyone, so I will be very careful and unsympathetic in tomorrow's inspection, and I also ask the Governor of Woolley and the Salt Officer of Tours to forgive me." Wu

Lai frowned, Naru's words were not so much a "friendly reminder" as a declaration of war, what was the specific content of the new salt industry regulations in Nalu's mouth, Wu Lai didn't know anything about it, and he even felt that this might be an excuse.

After the feast was over, there was no word for the night, and the next day, just after dawn, Naru's carriage appeared outside the gate of the mansion.

Seeing this, Wu Lai, who had just finished exercising, couldn't help muttering while wiping his sweat: "Are you in such a hurry?" After a while,

the three carriages drove out of the town in turn and headed straight for the salt works. The first car was Tours', with Naru in the center and Woolley in the last.

After a few more moments, the saltworks arrived.

In ancient times, it was originally an ocean, but with the orogeny and the change of the earth's crust, it was blocked by the raised mountains into a saltwater lake, and in the long years that followed, the strata in this area were fractured, some areas were raised, and some of the terrain became more and more concave, dividing the original large saltwater lake into several lakes of different sizes.

Over time, the potash, limestone, magnesium salt, sulfate and salt in the lake water slowly combined with the early siltation layer, after a long period of natural evaporation, the salt precipitation, formed a very thick ore layer, and with the climate change in this area, the lake water was continuously evaporated, and finally formed the current salt ze, those lakes in the past are now only two, the nearest one is more than forty miles away from the main area of the salt field, it is said that the scenery is very beautiful, but Wu Lai now has no time to visit.

There are two ways to mine salt in the salt field of Yanmarsh Town, one is to take brine from the salt well and boil, and the other is to dig the crystalline ore layer and soak it in water after crushing, and then boil it after analyzing the salt inside, but because of the lack of water in this area, the latter has been abandoned.

The carriage of the trio stopped in the salt well area.

Knowing that Naru was deliberately here to find fault, Wu Lai still had the mind to accompany him, and after walking a few steps slowly to another salt well, he simply stopped to watch the salt workers take brine, anyway, Naru was accompanied by Turs.

After all, this is the third time Woolley has come to the salt farm, but the first time is purely to watch the flowers, and he didn't look at it at all, and the second time is to "ask for salt", and it is night, even if he wants to see something, he can't see anything.

This time, Wu Lai planned to take a closer look, but when he looked at it, his heart suddenly tightened, and after looking at it for a while, he was in no mood ......

After inspecting the salt well area, Naru went straight to the car, and when he passed by Woolley, he also kept a straight face. As soon as Woolley frowned, Turce sighed and leaned over.

"Archon Woolley, the situation is not good, said the Salt Governor of Naru, our salt well is poorly maintained, and the masonry of the wall of the well shows signs of loosening, and if it collapses, it will have a great impact on the salt production, so in addition to the time limit of one month to repair, a fine of five hundred gold coins will be required.

"Five hundred?" Wu Lai was stunned, and said in his heart that this is only the first place is five hundred, and how much should it be when this circle is down?

In the evening, the answer came out, the fine for the wall of the salt well was 500, the fine for the layout of the salt pan was 1,000, the fine for the firewood stacking area was 1,000, and the salt warehouse was in disrepair in two places, and the fine was 200, a total of 2,700, which was paid within three months.

"Archon Woolley, I hope you can learn your lesson. Naruden said with a straight face as he left the salt works.

Woolley nodded, and said in his heart that I should really learn a lesson, if you always take the initiative to attack, this game will not be playable.

"I'm sorry, Archon Woolley, I've done my best, and if you think I'm not doing my duty, you can ask Lunvington in writing to leave, I don't have any opinion, and I didn't expect that so many problems would be checked, and the penalty would be so severe. Tours sighed and pretended.

"It's fine. Woolley patted Tours on the shoulder, "These are minor issues. "

Archon Woolley, I am impressed by your heart, and I am different, and my feet tremble at the thought of the fine being two thousand seven hundred gold coins. Turce sighed and shook his head, but his heart blossomed.

The amount of money that Levington allocates to the town of Salt Marsh each year is no more than 1,200 gold coins, and this amount is still due to the fact that the town is a salt-producing area, and according to the rule, the town can also withhold half of the salt income from the salt production every year, but this money has never been given to the consul's residence, but directly to the salt works, although it has never been explicitly stated that this half of the money must be used for the salt works.

Of course, if you add this money, it will be more than enough to pay the fine.

The problem is, Woolley knows about the money, but he doesn't have access to it.

"Archon Woolley, this fine must be paid, otherwise you will not be able to pass the council of the city-state nobles. "It's hard to say that Tours' reminder wasn't ill-intentioned.

Hmph, you guys are colluding to do things, don't pretend to be here. Woolley smiled as he walked to his carriage ......

At night, Woolley and Guru sat on the top floor of the mansion to admire the moon.

"Guru, today I went to the salt works. Woolley said.

"I know, what should I do when I heard that you were fined 2,700 gold coins?" asked Guru worriedly.

"It's okay, the money from the salt field will naturally go to the salt field, and I'm not worried about this at all. After Woolley finished speaking, he paused, and then said, "When I saw those salt workers taking brine in the salt works, I suddenly felt a little emotional. "

Oh?" said Gruul stared.

"You may not have seen that scene, his clothes, his expression, tsk, I can't bear to describe it......" Woolley sighed again.

Guru was thoughtful.

Woolley continued: "Gruul, it shouldn't be like this, people who have made such a great contribution to the territory of Lwindom and the entire Assyrian territory should not work as if they were oppressed and enslaved, Gruul, all this has to change, in addition to this, many things in the salt works have to be changed, such as the firewood, and for example, the clothes of the salt workers, the production process, ......" "Woolley

, whatever you do, I support you. Guru said.

Woolley smiled slightly, reached out and slapped Gruul on the shoulder: "Okay, then let's hurry up and get it, and besides, I'll be out once in the next few days, and if you stay in the town, then you have to guard this stall for me."

"I will. Gruul nodded and asked, "Where are you going?" Levinton?"

Woolley nodded and replied, "Yes, and besides, I'm going to leave town with Naru, a guy who likes to do things." "
