I am reborn as a lord in Rome

"Come in. Woolley raised his voice as he handed a draft to Guru, "Please give the Bureau of Construction's staff a copy of this poster."

As she spoke, Nivea pushed the door open and walked in, her veiled eyes swept away, and she retreated to the door and waited.

Gruul glanced at Nivea, took the draft and left, he knew that Woolley must have something important to discuss, and it was something he should not get involved in, otherwise with Woolley's relationship with himself, he would definitely not signal himself to leave.

When the door closed again, Nivea lifted her veil, and she had not seen her in some days, but she was much haggard, and she looked tired.

After being stunned for a moment, Wu Lai smiled slightly and asked, "What's wrong? Recently, I have been feeling unwell?"

Nevia shook her head: "Lord Wu Lai, you don't know what is going on recently, the grain in the valley is tight, Lunwinton suddenly increased the patrol of the horse road, and on the side of Baiguo Town, my people have been unable to get work for a long time, I suspect that the matter of Tulu has leaked the news."

"You sent Tulu's information in a timely manner, and I am very satisfied. Wu Lai nodded, "The increase in patrols on the horse road was agreed upon by the city-state council, mainly because there are many merchants who come and go to complain to the city-state council, saying that you are too rampant, and it is not aimed at you in a place in the Crow Valley or Baiguo Town, you should have received some news and relented." "

Complaint, Lord Woolley, did you still bring up these matters at your meeting?" asked Nivea.

Woolley shook his head.

Nivea hesitated, then mustered up her courage and said, "I want to plead with your lord for something. "

Borrow food?" Wu Lai raised his eyebrows.

"How do you know?" was so stunned that Nivea forgot to even say her honorific title.

Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You have all prepared the way for coming, I can think of it with my toes, first tell me, how much food are you going to borrow?"

"Four hundred thousand shekels. Nivea blurted out.

400,000 shekels, but equivalent to 25,000 catties, this figure is obviously not within the range of Wu Lai's acceptance.

"Nivea, this ...... of yours" was halfway through the refusal, Woolley sniffed a familiar smell, and then, his brow frowned, and he stretched out his hand to Nivea, "Come here, come to me."

Nivea was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a thought flashed through her, Lord Woolley didn't want to do anything to me, did

hesitation? Thinking so, Nivea still walked to Woolley's side without hesitation, not to mention that she was here to borrow food, just for Bird's matter in Woolley's hands, she must learn to obey Woolley's request, of course, the bottom line is still there, that is, Woolley's requirements cannot exceed her ability or make her extremely disgusted.

Right now, Woolley seems to have made an ambiguous request.

Moreover, this requirement is within Nivea's ability, and at the same time, Nivea is not disgusted with Woolley, although Woolley killed so many brothers in Raven Valley and imprisoned Bird to blackmail herself, but in general, Woolley is still humane, and most importantly, whenever a smile appears on Woolley's face, it always makes Nivea feel that her heart is instantly softened.

As Nivea stood beside her, Woolley squinted, sniffed lightly, and reached for Nivea's ......belt

"Lord Woolley......" As soon as the shyness in Nivea's heart rose, she was extremely surprised to see that Woolley's action was not to tease herself, but to flip her wrist and gently remove the small belt on her belt.

Tearing open the bag and sniffing, Woolley couldn't help but sneeze, saying that the smell was really pungent, but a smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Nivea, can you tell me what this is?"

"Lord Woolley, this is a kind of medicine in Raven Valley. Nivea wondered why she had a sense of disappointment, because Woolley hadn't teased her, and she couldn't imagine it, so much so that when she answered, there was a hint of loss in her voice.

"Wound medicine?" Woolley frowned.

"Yes, after drying, it can be kneaded into such crumbs, which can directly stop bleeding, and can also be chewed to relieve pain, and the effect is good. Nivea replied.

"Did you grow it yourself or did you gather it?" asked Woolley again.

"We grew it ourselves, we started seven years ago, and as far as I know, it's only in the Raven Valley area, and nowhere else. Nivea was curious about why Woolley was interested in this medicine, there was no shortage of good medicine in Assyria, and it was planted in the Valley of the Raven because it was not bad, and it could save money and trouble in buying medicine.

"How much have you planted?" Woolley's heart beat faster.

"It's not too much, you can collect most of the warehouse in a year, we have a cave there dedicated to putting wound medicine, I call it a warehouse, the warehouse can accommodate twenty or thirty people to sleep at the same time, but only two people are high, quite dry, so we use it to store wound medicine. Nivea replied with a gesture.

The yield is not low! Wu Lai was happy again, but his face was still silent: "This medicine is good, I'll say it bluntly, I'll give you the food, but you have to give me the medicine." "

No problem, Lord Woolley, I'll give you all the things in the warehouse. Nivea smiled.

"I don't just want you in the warehouse. Woolley smiled slightly, "As far as I know, there are not a few old and weak women and children in the Crow Valley, and in a few years, even if Lunvington still does not pay you off, your people are afraid that they will not be able to loot, so I will give you a suggestion, you should wash your hands and concentrate on planting this kind of wound medicine for me in the Raven Valley, and exchange food, cloth, wine and meat from me, and if the cooperation goes well, I can also give you some places of free people, so that you can live and work in Salt Marsh Town in peace and contentment, how about it?"

Nivea was stunned, if what Woolley said was true, the people of Raven Valley could not only completely get rid of the life of licking blood from knives, but also get the status of a free citizen - Woolley threw out this great benefit, and she only needed her to lead everyone to plant wound medicine, which made Nivea suspect that she had heard it wrong.

"Lord Woolley, are you telling the truth?" asked Nivea.

"Of course it's true. Woolley replied, "But I have one more condition, the cultivation technology and seeds of this wound medicine cannot be leaked out

, I want to make it mine, is there a problem?" "No problem!" Nivea nodded immediately, "However, I want to tell Bird about it and let him know about it."

"This one does. "By the way, you came to me just for this one thing?"

"You look at my memory, I almost forgot when I was happy, and my brother who came back from Baiguo Town found out a piece of news......" Nivea patted her head and said.

After listening carefully, Woolley tightened his brows ......

After a short while, Woolley summoned Lauren and asked him to lead Nivea to Bird, while he busily opened the drawer and picked out a piece of tissue paper and spread it on the table, and then, from the small waist bag left by Nivea, he grabbed a pinch of wound medicine and rubbed it carefully.

This kind of object that can only be reduced to medicine in Nivea is the tobacco leaf that Wu Lai is very familiar with in his last memory, in the last memory, he has invested in two major tobacco bases in Qiubei County and Yanshan County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan, and is very familiar with the production and processing of tobacco leaves.

On top of that, in the last memory, Woolley had a hobby of collecting and tasting cigars, and since he came to this world, he has been haunted more than once that there will be no tobacco here, which is why he is so eager at the moment.

In the evening, when Gruul followed El to the top floor of the Archon's Mansion to find Woolley, he was greeted by a pleasant look at the ...... in the distance

On the second day, the little nobles sent representatives to talk back. Except for one family who chose to move to the city of Lincington, the rest were compensated by Woolley on only one condition, that is, when the shops in the town were built, they would not be given priority to rent, but each household would choose to buy at least two shops first, so that it would become the family's permanent property.

Wu Lai immediately nodded in agreement, because the conditions of the little nobles were not too much at all, especially the purchase of shops, Wu Lai originally planned to sell them, and the reason why they were said to be renting before was nothing more than that the conditions were not yet mature.

When the obstacle was gone, Wu Lai immediately put up a poster, which not only listed the compensation standards and conditions, but also stated the punishment measures - during the construction of the residential area of Yanmarsh Town, no one is allowed to obstruct the demolition work in any form, and once violated, the town management will forcibly demolish the houses involved while the compensation is recovered.

For the content on this poster, everyone thinks it is a matter of course, because all the conditions are announced in advance and have been accepted by everyone, if anyone really dares to go back on their word, it is too normal to recover and forcibly demolish it - it doesn't count if you dare to talk to the cruel and cold-blooded Lord Woolley, do you still need to discuss if he destroys you?

Nivea only spent one night in Salt Marsh before returning to Raven Valley, and before leaving, Woolley spoke with her again to dispel some of her doubts, and at the same time asked her to take five carts of grain with her, which was equivalent to Woolley's advance payment, and of course, it also strengthened Nivea's confidence in him.

Seemingly overnight, the town of Salt Marsh became lively, because in addition to the Bureau of Civil Protection and the Bureau of Transportation and Health, the five bureaus of environmental resources, construction, commerce, and culture were all recruiting people - not recruiting into the bureau to become servants, but setting up stalls to pick people for various projects in Salt Marsh Town, and picking many, many people.

Woolley, Gruul, and Baker are also busy with their heels, all the drawings, lists, and plans need to be discussed and made one by one, and the details of each work have to be repeatedly scrutinized before they can be decided, and meetings, especially consecutive meetings, have become the norm in the Salt Marsh Town Consulate.

Four days later, Gruul left the town of Salt Marsh for Lernwinton, taking the rest of the Daishan boys with him, and Woolley planned to let him stay in Lincington for a while, to solicit money and men to dig the canals.

As soon as Guru left the town, the demolition of the first batch of houses in Salt Marsh Town began, and Woolly himself served as the on-site commander, only to see him wave the red cloth flag in his hand, hundreds of strong men carried the wooden and shouted neat trumpets to rush to the empty houses that had long been empty, and with a series of rumbling sounds, smoke and dust rose into the sky, instantly filling the ......

Seeing this situation, some of the onlookers shed tears, although they have been looking forward to a better life in the future for the past few days, and they also know that Wu Lai can't speak and doesn't count, but seeing the house where his family has lived for generations being demolished, it is inevitable that there will be reluctance, but this is only a small episode, and it did not cause any interference to the demolition.

It seems that it is still relatively smooth. As he left the scene, Woolley thought to himself.

But it didn't take long for Woolley to know he was wrong.

Just after noon the next day, Tours hurried back, accompanied by two other men, one named Ellett, Illett Benson, a small nobleman from Lenvinton, about forty years old, who had come to replace the removed Sean as a civil officer, and the other named Bill, Bill Hill, who was originally an ordinary officer in the London garrison of the Second Legion, and was now the tribune assigned by Lenvington to the town of Salt Marsh.

Although he had been mentally prepared for the arrival of the new official, Woolley still felt a little surprised, because when Elite walked into the office to report to him, the first thing he said was: "Lord Woolley, I am here to assist you by Lord Nils." "

Nils's arrangement has advantages and disadvantages for Woolley, the advantage is that there is one less opposition in the official residence, and the disadvantage is that since the other party is arranged by Nils, it is inevitable that there will be other meanings, such as supervision and the like.

However, Woolley was immediately relieved, who did not come, and it seemed that there were never fewer people who supervised him, and maybe there were more hidden in the shadows.

The meeting with Bill Hill was a little unpleasant, this was a guy in armor with a serious face, and he spoke a little impulsively: "Lord Woolley, as soon as I entered the town, I heard that the Protector Army was adapted by you, I can't accept your approach, I hope you can restore the Protector in the shortest possible time, otherwise I can only use the rights of the Protector and recruit on the spot." "

Come prepared, Woolley frowned, according to the Assyrian regulations, the wartime tribune has the right to recruit people on the spot to serve as the preservation, and with the current situation of Salt Marsh Town, it is understandable for this Bill to insist that it is in a state of war, because everyone knows that it is surrounded by bandits.

"Yes, I will approve your conscription on the spot, but you cannot requisition the construction population, and besides, your conscription list must be decided by a meeting. Woolley agreed.

"No problem, if Lord Woolley has no other orders, I want to go and rest first. After a pause, Bill added, "I almost forgot, but Master Job asked me to give you a message that wished you all the best." "

It turned out to be Job's man. Woolley said this in his heart, but he didn't move, but bowed his head slightly, waved his hand, and arrogantly signaled that Bill could leave.

Seeing Woolley's behavior, Bill immediately frowned, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything more, but turned around and left the office quickly.

Arrange for such a person to be angry with me, Job, and we'll see. Woolly glanced at the blue sky outside the window and said in his heart.

And that's not all—that night, Tours and Bill gathered the little nobles for a drink, and early the next morning, more than a dozen representatives of the minor nobles came to Woolley at the consul's residence and said that they had decided not to move, and that none of the previous promises to Woolley would be counted.

"Are you sure you've figured it out?" asked the Ninja of Woolley angrily, he had always been particularly disgusted by people who rebelled, and the group of people in front of him were undoubtedly all of them.

"We've figured it out, Lord Woolley, the area around Salt Marsh Town is so spacious, you can expand to the side, our mansions won't get in the way anyway. A representative replied.

"Have you forgotten the content of the poster?" Woolly frowned.

The delegates were stunned for a moment, and the man who had just answered hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Lord Woolley, the house is our private property, and according to the Assyrian law, no one can touch our house unless we ourselves agree or commit an unforgivable crime." "

Okay!" said Woolley with a cold smile, "you can go, remember what you said today, and don't regret it in the future." When

the delegates saw that Woolley's face was frosty, they did not dare to linger longer, and immediately anointed the soles of their feet with oil - slipped.

As soon as the delegates left, Bill pushed the door open and walked in, handing a few pieces of paper to Woolley: "Lord Woolley, this is the manpower and supplies I need, please take a look."

Wu Lai took it, looked at it seriously for a while, frowned, and asked: "Three hundred young men, now that the salt marsh town is under construction, how can I give you so many people? Also, the materials you want are not in stock at all, and besides, three hundred sets are too many, even if I apply to Lunvington for you, it will be impossible to approve it." "

Lord Woolley, there are a lot of bandits around Salt Marsh Town, we don't prepare early, what if the first-class bandits attack?" said Bill with a frown.

"Then you can't go too far, three hundred, at its peak, Salt Marsh Town was only two hundred and twenty people. Woolley put the papers on the table, "Let's take them back first, and I'll think about reducing the number of people." "

The number cannot be reduced, and if Lord Woolley has a problem with me, he can apply directly to the Second Legion or Lord George to remove me. After Bill dropped this sentence, he didn't pay attention to Woolley anymore, and slammed the door straight away.

Wu Lai frowned, and in an instant, slowly unfolded.

It turns out that you are moving this mind...... Woolley thought to himself.

After nightfall, Baker found Woolley with a worried face: "Lord Woolley, those citizens have put cruel words in the town, saying that if anyone dares to touch their house, they will fight with him, and they have also organized the slaves of the family to send a guy, and now it is not dark, so they lit the torches one by one, saying that from now on, they will guard without a moment of rest, and they will consume it with us." "

According to the plan, the first of them will be demolished in four days, right?" Woolley asked.

Baker nodded hurriedly: "Lord Woolley, you said that this matter is troublesome, and now the town is in an uproar, and many ignorant civilians are also coaxing, saying that it will not be demolished without adding money." "

If you don't add money, you won't tear it down?" Woolley smiled coldly and asked, "Beck, remember what I told you?

Baker recalled, first of all: "Lord Woolley, I remember, you said that if a hundred town managers are used well, they can be worth ten thousand, which can be called a team of 10,000 people."

"Now, it's time for your team of 10,000 people to go out!"
