I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Although two million gold coins is a huge number, there are really many families in the Assyrian territory who can get it, and the Gerald family is definitely one of them, but it is the collective wealth of the family, and it has to be put together, and it is not necessary to separate it, and it is impossible for Wright to get so much money from the family.

Ibbe pondered and said, "Woolley, I can make it up for you here." "

Yicheng, naturally, it is 200,000 gold coins, although it is still a little far from two million, but this is almost the limit of Ibbe, you must know that not all old nobles have gold mountains hidden in their homes.

Wooley was very surprised by Ibbe's sudden statement, of course he knew that Ibbe had a close relationship with Riney, and he also knew that Ibbe was on Connor's side of Chief Connor, but that didn't mean that Ibbe would have to generously give a large sum of money when he needed a lot of gold coins in Woolley.

"Vice President Ibbe, you ...... I ......" Woolley felt like he didn't know what to say for the first time.

"It's nothing, I trust you, it's just that I want to ask, the money always comes back someday, right?" Ibbe asked, smiling slightly.

"Of course, of course. Woolley nodded hurriedly, to be honest, he didn't really worry too much about not being able to get together the money, the reason why he said it was a difficulty when Wright asked was nothing more than that he was not sure when to get it together, after all, it was such a big number, not to mention anything else, transportation would be a very troublesome matter.

Wright hesitated for a moment and patted his chest: "I'll also make up 200,000 for you." In fact, this number is beyond his ability, although the project with Woolley and Gruul is making an amazing amount of money at the moment, but the time is still short, and he is far from saving so much money, but Wright is already planning to go to St. Lean - he is not bad for money.

"Vice Dean Ibbe, Wright. Wu Lai poured wine into the glasses of the two of them and said, "I thank you for your trust in me from the bottom of my heart, but 200,000 is really too much, if I mess up, I can't pay for it, or 50,000 per person, this figure is more appropriate, at least I don't have so much pressure."

Wright was stunned, but Ibbe laughed out loud, and said while laughing: "You kid is holding back your heart again, what are you capable of, can we still not know? I figured it out anyway, and I will throw the money to you, and I won't lose money, so you don't have to be such a small family with 55,000 yuan, to tell you the truth, half of my 200,000 yuan belongs to your teacher Lini, if you dare not take it, be careful that he cleans you up."

Wu Lai was stunned, and his heart was hot again, and after a slight sigh, he nodded: "Okay, I'll take it." "

Woolley, you can't favor one over the other, Vice President Ibbe's 200,000 li is half of General Rini's, and my 200,000 li is half of the Great Priest's. Wright raised an eyebrow and said.

Both of them have said this, and it is difficult for Woolley to say anything more.

"Vice President Ibbe, I wish you a smooth journey home. Woolley raised his glass again.

"Vice President Ibbe, I wish you a smooth journey. Wright said with a smile.

Ibbe smiled and nodded, raising his glass and ......

The next day, when Woolley returned to the station after seeing off Ibbe, it was almost noon, and after a short rest, Woolley called two Daishan boys and rode to the East End in a carriage.

Lunvington's East End is home to nearly 1,000 large and small workshops, and is an out-and-out "light industrial area", and the printing workshop of the Tongji Alliance just opened half a month ago, and business is booming, but Woolley is not here to inspect.

Two days later, George was chatting with Hodge in his office, and as soon as there was a knock on the door, Job walked in briskly: "Woolleygrindo is making a fuss again." "

Trouble, asking you for that money again?" Hodge asked, smiling.

"It's not. With a wave of his walked over to his desk and pulled a chair and sat down, "Since this morning, he's been selling something called a 'registered bond' at the Seneca Fellowship station?"

Hodge was stunned, he had never heard of it.

"Everyone is passing on this, this very awkward 'registered bond' is actually a piece of paper, but this paper is printed with flowers, and money, by the way, and Woolledindo's seal, and ......," Jobs said as he recalled, because he also listened to the reports of his subordinates, and he didn't see them at all.

After patiently waiting for Jobs to finish chattering, George couldn't help but knock on the table: "Job, let's get to the point, what is the purpose of this registered bond?"

"I don't know." Job's hands spread, "It is said that it can make money, and that Lightgerald is also there to help sell it, and many people have gone there, and it is said that there are really people who buy ......it"

Named bonds, even if Jobs does not listen to his subordinates but inquires in person, I am afraid that he will not be able to figure it out for a while.

In the era of the previous memory, the issuance of registered corporate bonds was not an easy task, and it was necessary to register with the issuing company, and the procedures were cumbersome to the point of headache, but in this era, it was a different matter, and no one supervised it anyway.

No one supervises, it does not mean that Woolley will mess up, integrity management is his purpose, inflated value is his business nature, there is no conflict between the two in Woolley, you pay a high price, I will give you quality and quantity, everyone is really good.

Printing bonds is a simple thing for Woolley, the Tongji Alliance put in Lunwington City to open a printing workshop are all good hands, the level of engraving can be called a master, Woolley only spent a little time to draw a pattern, after marking the size, the rest is to wait for the receipt.

The order placed by the president, the printing workshop naturally had to work hard to the death, and the engraving was made that night, and the printing was opened at midnight, and the first batch of 10,000 copies was sent to the station yesterday evening, and Wright happened to come to Woolley for a drink, so he was fortunate enough to be the first nobleman in the world to see what kind of registered bond was.

Wright was amazed at the moment he saw the bond, which seemed to him to be a work of art at the half-elbow length and four-finger width

– the bond was a pale pink undertone, with eight groups of fig branches woven in bright pale green behind the front edge, and the delicate figs were painted in red between the branches and leaves, which were a symbol of fertility in the Assyrian realm.

Eight groups of fig branches form a box, and the main pattern in the box is two winged bulls with their heads shrugged and their hooves against their horns, domineering and majestic on the paper. At the feet of the two bulls is a row of abstract relief patterns that look like rubbings, depicting the ancient Assyrians in battle, hunting, feasting, and construction work, but also vividly.

The back of the bond is much simpler, with two light ochre columns on the left and right and two ribbons on the top and bottom also forming a box, but this box is not a pattern, but is divided into two pieces, the left side occupies one-third of the coupon surface, and two paragraphs of text are printed, the handwriting is slightly smaller, and the right side accounts for two-thirds, printed with several neat rows of text, and some words are still left blank.

"Why leave it blank?" asked Wright, raising the bond in his hand.

"Don't you understand it when you look closely?" asked Woolley rhetorically.

"I took a closer look. Wright blinked, "But I don't know all the words."

Wu Lai was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't string together a few words, it seems that this cultural level needs to be improved.

"Well, I'll tell you. Wu Lai had no choice but to stop what he was doing, "These blank spaces are all useful, the blank at the beginning of the line is reserved for filling in the name and address of the bondholder, this line is reserved for filling in the date the bondholder obtained the bond and the number of the bond, and at the end of the last line, the date of issuance is filled in." "

Oh, I see. Wright nodded, and pointed to the two small words on the left, "What about these?" "

Well, I now know why you asked George to announce it that day, it wasn't because you wanted to disgust him, but you didn't know a few words at all." Wu Lai sighed in his heart, and patiently explained: "This part is to mark the amount, interest rate, and term and method of repayment of principal and interest of this bond, and you can understand this bond as a special contract.

Wright nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "Oh, can you be more specific?" "

No, I'm busy." Woolley waved his hand, "You really want to know what's going on, come to help tomorrow, if the sale is good, we can go back to Salt Marsh Town early, if not, I'll go back first, you will be responsible for selling, when you sell enough of the number I want, when will you come to Salt Marsh Town again." "

No, I don't want to stay here, you know, I don't like those guys. Wright quickly shook his head, referring to George, Job, Hodge, and others.

"Then you have to move, by the way, I'm short of manpower here, you can go and find me some help. Wu Lai said casually, anyway, it would be right to separate this guy at this time, so as not to interfere with him asking this and that on the side.

"Okay, I'll go find someone first. Wright tilted his head and threw his sleeves out the door.

......

"You've been talking about this for a long time, and you haven't explained it, I really want to know what's going on, so you just have to go for a trip. Hodge couldn't help but say.

George hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Let's go, go and see."

"Go ahead. Hodge said as he got up, "I'll have to inspect the Southern District in a moment, and I'll have an appointment after the inspection."

"We don't need so many people to go together, do we? Job said.

"Then you should go. George waved his hand, "The people below probably can't see anything, you look carefully, if there is any problem with Woolley, I will deal with him immediately."

"I guess there is. Jobe stood up, "Who's going to do it if someone gets some pieces of paper in exchange for gold of real value?" "

Maybe that kid from Woolley Glyndo is so scheming that maybe someone will be fooled." Hodge said as he walked out.

After a while, Job led two attendants into the station of the Tongji Alliance, and when the gatekeeper saw them coming, he made a gesture to invite them in without even asking, with a smile on his face, but he was also very enthusiastic.

When the three of them walked into the courtyard, there were already twenty or thirty people standing in the courtyard, but everyone didn't notice Job, but listened attentively to Woolley's explanation.

Woolley stood on a table, and naturally saw Job's stealthy walk in at a glance, but he didn't care, selling registered bonds was an open-door business, besides, it would be strange if someone from George's side didn't come to inquire about such a big movement.

Coincidentally, Job just arrived at the opening of the third set.

“...... If you leave the gold coins at home, not only will they not increase in value, but they will also depreciate.

Woolley said, "You can compare, what a hundred gold coins could buy ten years ago, can you still buy it now?" Everyone shook their heads, what Woolley said was the truth, a hundred gold coins were enough for a middle-class aristocratic family to eat comfortably for a year, and now I am afraid that it will have to be doubled to barely work, not to mention anything else, just buying the "god-given seasoning" sold in the Assyrian city is a large expense.

"It seems that everyone's answer is very consistent, so I will continue to say, I believe that it is impossible for all of you here to keep your money at home, and you will always find some way to make money profitable, open shops, taverns, workshops, borrow money to collect interest money, and do city-state trade, but are you sure that it will make money without losing money?" asked Woolley again.

Everyone shook their heads again, of course, no one was sure, those who opened shops would encounter a backlog of goods, those who opened taverns would encounter bad wine and credit, those who borrowed money and collected interest would be repaid, and those who traded between the city-states would encounter bandits...... There is no guarantee that there will be no depreciation.

"So, as far as I know, there are many citizen families who would rather be conservative and reduce their expenses than rashly come up with money to do something, although they know that this will be empty, of course, some citizens feel that it is a good choice to use the money to buy land and grow crops, although the income is very meager, but there is no risk at all. Woolley paused, and asked—

"But is this the life of a citizen's family? Is it a wise choice to put your hopes in the land? If the weather is good, if the weather is good, if the year is not good, and there are droughts and floods, it is probably a great expense to feed the large number of slaves who farm the land, and you must also spend a great deal of money to buy them, and if they fall ill and die, will your money not be spent in vain?"

Everyone nodded, and they had to admit that Woolley was right.

"I don't know what you think, but the bottom line of my money is that the money I earn this year must be enough for my family's expenses, so that even if I spend all the money I earn back on family expenses, there is no surplus, and I will not let my wealth decline, because what I spend, what my family spends, is the part of the earnings, and my capital is still there. Woolly said loudly.

"Then what are we going to do?" asked someone in the crowd, and Job's frown to see that it was a young nobleman he knew, who had just been qualified to attend the conference the year before, and had talked with Woolley for a long time at the banquet of the city-state conference.

Hmph, you two have made an appointment, right?" Jobe couldn't help but snort coldly.

Not to mention, he really guessed correctly, this little nobleman who asked the question was Wu Lai's "Tuo".

"Okay, I'm here, there's a way to help you do this, if you're a small family, you can use this method to earn the living expenses of the whole family, and I promise that it will have a little leftover, so that you can use it to buy some cloth and please a beautiful widow......

" "If your family has a large population and a large number of slaves and maids to support, this method can also help you very well, because the more you buy, the more ...... you earn."

"The way to do this is to buy registered bonds. Woolley held up a bond and said as he displayed it, "The denomination of each bond is one hundred gold coins, which means that you can buy the same bond as the one in my hand

for a hundred gold coins...... "What's the use of it? It costs a hundred gold coins?! It can't be a blind man?" someone suddenly interjected and asked, and Job's heart was happy, and he was about to praise the man, when his eyes glanced at it, and his brows frowned—it was the "To" who interjected to ask.

Acting so positively, there must be something wrong. Job couldn't help but think.

"Mengren, joke!" Woolley slapped his chest with a smile and raised his voice, "So you don't know who I am......? The current Governor of Salt Marsh Town, Woolly Rindo, has just been commended and rewarded by the Supreme Council of Nobles, has five special powers in Salt Marsh Town, and has just been rewarded by the Temple, and has been ordered to build a temple in Salt Marsh Town and place the holy relic "Round Shield Warrior".

"All the money you pay for the purchase of bonds will be used for the construction of the town of Salt Marsh, and your future income will also be obtained from the town of Salt Marsh, and I will not talk about the supreme council and the temple in the city of Assyria, but here in Lunvington, the temple is the guarantor of the credibility of this named bond, if you still think that I am a Mongolian, you can go to the temple and inquire first." "

The temple was also pulled over by this kid?" Job's first thought was of course to be suspicious, but then he also believed it, Wright was still in the city of Lunvington at this time, and Torre, the high priest of the temple, was a diehard loyalist of St. Lean.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Job's brows frowned even tighter.

No, no matter what tricks this kid plays, I've got to find a way to stop him. The thought popped into Job's mind.
