I am reborn as a lord in Rome

The results of Malone's trial were a bit unexpected, the three thieves were actually sent by Quentin, so Nepton didn't dare to follow Woolley's original arrangement, and trotted back to Baishilou to report the news.

After listening to the report, Woolley frowned and thought for a long time, and ordered Nepton to send the three thieves to the slave market, and then walked back to the bedroom, and was about to discuss with Tina "how to send her back to Lyndor Manor with dignity", and after a closer look, Tina was actually asleep.

After standing by the bed for a moment, Woolley was reluctant to wake Tina—he had to admit that the moonlight reflected on Tina's face in a beautiful silhouette.

Just let Leah be anxious for a while. Woolley thought as he walked out of the bedroom.

Early the next morning, Woolley drove Tina back to Rindor Manor, where he made up an excuse for her to get lost, and in order to make it look more real, he used a few wattle sticks to scratch the corners of Tina's skirt several times, and at the same time smeared some fresh grass juice there. He squatted at Tina's feet and was busy, and Tina pursed her lips while watching him busy with a shallow joy in her eyes.

I don't know what's going on, but Woolley thinks that the current Tina is not only pleasing to the eye and beautiful, but also a little cute.

When she saw Tina return safely, Lady Leah wept with joy and worried in her heart, because it was customary for a noble lady to disappear for no reason all night, which was the most suspicious, reverie, and legend.

Woolley quickly took his leave, he didn't want to talk about Quentin, and after having Tina have a little relationship last night, he subconsciously divided Tina and Lady Leah together, and pulled Quentin to another place.

As soon as Woolley asked the slaves to pack the five hundred canons that were to be transported to the temple in the printing workshop today, Neptune ran over happily with a money bag: "Young master, sure enough, as you said, the slave dealer named Hola and the three thieves just appeared at Quentin's door, and Quentin paid for them, according to your orders, Hola will add a total of one hundred and fifty silver coins, Quentin did not bargain, except for the thirty silver coins you were willing to give to Hera, the rest are here."

"It's a good job, it's okay to come a few more times like this." Woolley smiled slightly, and reached out to push away the money bag handed by Nepton, "Just do what you said last night, you deserve it."

"But, but that's too much, young master. Nepton hurriedly said that if the three thieves were sent to the tribune last night, the reward would be no more than thirty silver coins at best, which would have increased fourfold.

"Obedient, from today onwards you are a commoner, and you have to get used to carrying a money bag. "Before lunch, Gauguin will hire some slaves to come back, and you will have to help him." "

Hire, young master, and want to repair the house again?" asked Neptune curiously.

"Dig a ditch. When Woolley had finished answering, he got into the carriage, and the makeshift coachman grinned, and his long whip whipped in the air. After a crisp "pop", the carriage slowly drove out.

......

Just after his thirteenth birthday, Woolley earned the title of "Seneca Upstart".

This name is not official, but it is very authoritative, because it is the nobles of Seneca City who give this name.

People are divided into groups, and the nobles of the city-state of Seneca are the same, and the most pampered thing they like to do in their spare time is to get together with other nobles, eat, drink, and chat, which is undoubtedly a good way to stabilize friendship and cooperation, but gradually, everyone found that the most talked about recently is Woolly Grin of the White Rock Building.

A nobleman said with great certainty: "Woolly Green's various trades are very mysterious, and they must be very profitable."

Some nobles said more certainly: "Woolley Green is a god, not only with the temple, but also with the tribune Lord Aesop. Another

nobleman said, "Woolleglindo is not easy to provoke, although he is young, and the two fools, Dorjee and Quentin, have done a stupid thing, and as a result, many citizens have been affected." "

A nobleman tried to deduce Woolley's lineage, and after what he considered to be an unusually meticulous calculation, he swore that Woolley's fortune was at least 100,000 gold coins.

Some aristocrats were curious about Woolley's private life, and after learning about it, he also swore that Woolley Grin must have no bad habits, because in terms of pleasure he was most enthusiastic about bathing under the service of a fixed slave girl.

It is especially worth reminding that this is a very high and perfect evaluation, because as a nobleman, he has the right to do anything to his slaves, just to bathe, and even if he does something, it is extremely limited. So in the eyes of the nobles of Seneca City, Woolley's private life was as clean as a piece of white cotton.

Of course, what Woolley is said to be can't be entirely speculation and speculation -

one nobleman said, "Woolley Grindo would take a big bag of money from the temple every day." "

This is true, because since a few days ago, the temple has been paying Woolley two thousand four hundred silver coins a day, which is not something that ordinary leather bags can hold.

A nobleman said, "The workshop of Woolledlindo is busy every day. "

This is also true, because the mills now grind flour during the day and corn flour at night, and the paper mills and printing mills are even busier than the mills.

A nobleman said, "Woolleglindo was merciful to his slaves. "

Of course, it is merciful, not to mention the Nepton who has just been given freedom, the special treatment of the guard slaves and the living girls in the White Stone Building, the slaves in the three major workshops are each given clothes and shoes according to the season, in addition to three meals a day in the morning, noon and evening, those who work overtime at night can also enjoy an additional supper, and there are rewards every three or five times, to put it mildly, the living standards of the slaves in the three major workshops have surpassed that of ordinary civilians.

Another nobleman said: "I heard that Woolley Green is buying female slaves in large numbers. "

This is pure nonsense.

But whether it is true or not, the aristocrats have chosen to believe that they who have been in the aristocratic circle for too long often choose this way when they encounter incomprehensible things, anyway, everyone is like this.

As a result, Woolley gradually entered the life of the nobles, and the nobles would always mention this sentence in their routine exchanges: Is there anything new about Woolley Grin in the past two days?

In the eyes of this group of nobles who have a superior material life but are extremely poor in spiritual life, freshness represents a new topic of conversation.

Whether it

is a nobleman or a commoner, it is naturally the women who like to talk the most, and when Woolley is the talking point, some aristocratic women who have some dealings with Lady Leah become more and more frequent with Lady Leah. Lady Leah, who is happy to show off, naturally knows how to elevate Woolley to achieve her own goal, so Woolley's image slowly becomes a model of nobility who has been wise and elegant since childhood.

"He is the pride of the Glyndor family, and I am proud of it, and it is because of his presence that I have decided to give up the next love and sit in peace for him and Tina at the Glyndor Manor. Lady Leah said.

It's hard to say how much Lady Leah's words are deliberately misleading, anyway, the aristocratic women have two questions after hearing them-huh

, how do you listen to the meaning of this, and there seems to be an ambiguity between Mrs. Leah and Woolley?

There are no surprises in the aristocratic world, and the fact that a young stepmother becomes the favor of a stepson has long been accustomed to by the aristocracy, so it is understandable for everyone to have such doubts, especially when the party Wu Lai did not express any objections after the rumors spread.

Woolley, of course, would not say anything, and in his opinion, the rumors themselves were a very boring thing, especially the part where he had an affair with Lady Leah.

Since these have been defined as boring, Wu Lai naturally won't waste time and energy fighting for this, not to mention that he has been busy lately.

He was busy digging a ditch on the night when the thieves broke into the paper mill, and with the encouragement of silver coins and whips, one hundred and twenty slaves hired were busy day and night, and soon a ditch twenty cubits deep and thirty cubits wide was dug along the stone walls of the mill, paper mill, and printing house, and after the ditch was reinforced with stone blocks on both sides of the ditch, the original gate of the mill was blocked by a new stone wall, and the gate of the paper mill, which was shared by the three workshops, was strengthened with a solid drawbridge.

When the slaves dug up the earthen wall at each end of the ditch less than four cubits away from the river, the turbulent river rushed into the ditch, and the three workshops of Woolley suddenly became a "city" surrounded by ditches.

Who will I see if anyone is still touching it now? Woolley looked at the "moat" with satisfaction, and thought to himself.

After finishing the ditch digging, Woolley still did not rest and enjoy the consciousness of the comfortable life of the nobility, but took Nepton and Heiwa to the "City of Bronze" three hundred miles southeast of Seneca - the city of Issai. Twenty days later, a much tanned Woolley brought back a coppersmith's shop—in fact, twelve slaves who had worked in both the Coppersmith's and Armoury's shops for many years, but if the twelve were put together, it would be a complete coppersmith's shop.

Under Woolley's arrangement, the twelve slave craftsmen, who were not familiar with each other, were divided into three groups, and the best three of them were designated as the heads: Stin, Tielun, and Us.

Skilled in smelting and blacksmithing, Sting was a muscular man with a strong mind who worked for an armory shop in Isai for fifteen years before being bought by Woolley.

Tie Lun was good at distinguishing ores and casting, and at the age of fifty, he didn't look much like a coppersmith, because he was a little thin, but that didn't prevent him from using his skills, and the reason why he was able to be spotted by Woolley was because he had cast a three-person tall bronze bell in Ixai, and now the guy he called "Big Ben" still hangs high from the clock tower in the center of Ixai.

Compared to Woolley and Tielun, Uth was a bit of a generalist, and although he was inferior to Stine in smelting and blacksmithing, and inferior to Tielun in distinguishing ores and casting, his hands were the most skillful of the three—he was adept at making very delicate things, such as jewelry, because he had worked in a jewelry shop for ten years before becoming a coppersmith, during which time several slave craftsmen who had a liking for him taught him some unique skills. The twenty-five-year-old Uss, who had twenty years of "experience in the trade", convinced Woolley in his own unique way that when Woolley announced that he wanted to buy artisan slaves in the city of Ixai, Uss, who was tired of the damp and stuffy heat of Ixai, knocked a piece of brass the thickness of his thumb into a ten-cubit copper wire in front of Woolley, and then braided a small hat from this copper wire.

To buy Sting, Woolley spent ninety-two gold coins, Tielun was one hundred and fifty gold coins, and as for Us, who had the skills of the previous two at the same time but were unattainable, he also made Woolley pay the price of one hundred and ten gold coins. You must know that although the nine young coppersmith slaves who came with the three of them all had more than three years of coppersmithing experience, they only cost Woolley twenty-five gold coins in total.

After buying the twelve, Woolley triumphantly shouted a doctored line at the dumbfounded Nepton: "What is the most expensive in the eyes of my Woolleygrindo

?" But when Woolley happily led his novice through Seneca's gate and appeared on the street, guess what the nobles who saw this scene said?"

They said.
