I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Seeing that no one was silent, Guru frowned, took two steps forward, raised his voice and shouted: "This is the new consul of Salt Marsh Town, Woolly Rindo, who came here for official business, not the official residence, please leave immediately!" No one

moved—the tavern was small, and it was daytime, plus Hubble and his gang were drinking and eating meat here, and the others were not happy to come in, so it was very dramatic, and all the people who should have appeared in the mansion were here.

As the chief official of Salt Marsh Town, Woolley didn't want to have a first meeting with his subordinates here.

Woolley waved at Lauren, who hurriedly ran to his side.

"Lauren, tell me, who is Henry Wallen, the tribune here?" asked Woolley, frowning.

Lauren hesitated, gritted his teeth, and pointed at Henry: "Lord Woolley, this is Henry Wallen, the tribune."

Woolley nodded, hooking his finger at Henry.

Henry was stunned and wanted to ignore it, but after his eyes touched Woolley, he suddenly hesitated in his heart, although he didn't know much about the deeds of the young man in front of him, but he had heard of Woolley's name, especially from the intersection of his eyes just now, he tasted a strong warning flavor, which inevitably made him entangled.

In terms of qualifications, Henry is the oldest of the four, but in terms of background and strength, he is definitely the thinnest one, Woolley is fierce, and the other three still haven't moved, he doesn't want to be the first to offend Woolley.

"I'm ......," Henry hesitated to his feet.

"Henry Tribune, since you are so leisurely, I won't bother much, ask a few small questions, and I'll leave after asking. Woolley glanced at Henry, found a nearby chair and sat down, and continued, "Would you like to answer my question?" Henry glanced

at the other three, and saw that the three of them were either looking away or simply pretending to close their eyes to recuperate, so he also sighed quietly and nodded and replied, "Of course I do."

"If you want. With a wave of Woolley's hand, Gruul immediately scolded the tavern keeper who was about to come over and play a round of courtesy.

The tavern owner was stunned and quickly shrank back.

This made Henry even more apprehensive.

"First question, how many people are there in Salt Marsh?" asked Woolley.

"Seventy-five. Henry blurted out.

"How many weapons, how many sets of armor, how many war horses?" asked Wu Lai, raising his eyebrows.

"This, the war horses are twelve......" Henry wanted to answer, but he really couldn't answer, the Protector Army has an armory, but it is basically empty, because except for a small part of the weapons and armor allocated every year for replacing the damaged, the rest are resold by him, and part of the money obtained is used for bribes and part for squandering, in order to cope with the inspection of the city-state, the account books in the treasury have long been painted in a mess, and no one cares anyway, one comes and goes, where does Henry know how many weapons, How many sets of armor.

Woolley frowned and looked at Lauren: "Tell me, who is Hubble Iflin, the Ann Civilian?"

"Archon Woolley, I am Hubble, I beg your pardon, we are not ......" Before Hubble's words were finished, Woolley raised his sleeves and spit out two words rather arrogantly-"Shut up."

When these two words were spoken, not only Hubble, but everyone present was stunned except for Gruul.

What a big official authority, such a cold attitude - everyone thinks so.

"Polite words are avoided, and I have nothing to forgive or not forgive. Woolley glanced at Hubble, "Hubble, as a civil official, you should know the population situation of Salt Marsh Town well, I am a newcomer, and I am not familiar with the life here, so please tell me briefly, how many people are in Salt

Marsh Town, under my rule?" Hubble chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart, where are you asking about the population, it is clearly reminding me that Salt Marsh Town is your territory.

No matter what he thought at first, after seeing Woolley's aggressiveness at the moment, Hubble decided to show weakness first, firstly, because he didn't want to confront Woolley immediately, and secondly, because Woolley came too suddenly, so everyone was not prepared at all, and there was nothing to do.

"Returning to Archon Woolley, there were three hundred and five households in the town of Salt Marsh, of whom eight were citizens, and the population at the end of the previous month was four thousand one hundred and twenty-two, the number of people engaged in salt production was nine hundred and fifty-six, and the population of citizens was one hundred and forty-nine, not counting slaves. Hubble was a little proud when he finished answering, and he would pass the civil affairs figures such as the number of households and the number of people at the end of each month, so there was no reason why he couldn't answer.

"Not bad. Woolly clapped slowly, a smile rising into his mouth.

"Thank you, Archon Woolley, for the compliment. Hubble grinned.

Hubble smiled, but Woolley put away his smile and frowned and asked, "Hubble An, did you not hear me clearly, or did you deliberately not take it seriously?" I just asked you about the population, not how many households you have, what are you doing here? Show off your familiarity with Salt Marsh Town to me?" Hubble

is a dumbfounded, I have seen a lot of scoundrels who find fault, but I have never seen such an exaggerated person as the one in front of me.

"This, this ......" Hubble didn't know what to say.

"Which one is Baker, the treasurer?" Woolley finally didn't bother with Lauren this time, which made the veteran breathe a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I am. Baker stood up slowly, his expression calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

Hmph, you can ask whatever you want, it's a big deal to let you order it first, and sooner or later I will ask you to return it. Baker muttered inwardly.

Woolley nodded, waved his sleeve slightly, and Guru on the side stepped forward and said loudly: "Baker Treasurer, before Archon Woolley took office, he specially obtained a sum of money from Chief Connor to subsidize Salt Marsh Town, although the money was won by Archon Woolley, but after all, it was all spent in Salt Marsh Town, so it is most appropriate for you to be responsible for this money, tomorrow morning, please go with me to count the amount, and we will go through the handover procedures." Baker

was a guy who was refreshed when he heard the sound of money, and before Guru's words fell, he was already playing in his heart, and with a smile on his face, he asked tentatively, "Can you tell me how much this number is?"

"Not much, just 8,500 gold coins. Woolley said lightly, this is not his nonsense, this money is really he got from Chief Connor, and intends to spend it on the infrastructure of Salt Marsh Town, but this money is not taken for nothing, at most it is an interest-free loan, and it will be repaid to the Supreme Council after three years.

Baker couldn't help but take a deep breath, 8,500 gold coins was not a small amount, and in the heyday of salt production in Salt Marsh Town a few years ago, he, the treasurer, could handle not so much in a year.

"This salt marsh town is as tattered as a fire, and I don't like it to see it. Woolley smiled a little more on his face, "Beck, you are in charge of the finances, you must keep it properly and use it properly, and take care of it for me and this salt marsh town, and the large miscellaneous expenses in the future must be called by my fire paint and signature, you know?"

"Yes, Lord Woolley. "Baker is called a dark cool, firstly, I feel that Woolledrindo, the new boss, not only has no ill will towards him, but also seems to be planning to win himself over, or how to let himself keep such a large amount of money as soon as he comes up, and it is also a sum of money that no one originally knows;

Hubble and Henry, who were on the side, saw the smile on Baker's face, and couldn't help but curse in their hearts, with their understanding of Baker, they couldn't guess this guy's mental activity at the moment.

The two of them cursed, but Tours didn't have this leisure, Woolley's appearance was too amazing - obviously a well-known nobleman with a face, but he just played the martial arts style of kicking the flying door board, and then pulled his throat to scare people as soon as he came in, which is not counting, after choking Henry and choking Hubble, thinking that Baker was about to be "killed", but suddenly there was a twist.

So, what should happen when it's my turn? Turce couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, of course he wasn't really afraid of Woolley, he just didn't want to be humiliated by Woolley, like Hubble and Henry.

"So, you're the salt producer Tours, Tours Adams?" Woolley's gaze shifted to Adams.

"I am. Turce sat still.

Woolley nodded: "Before I came, I met with Master Job, and he gave me some friendly advice, and besides, the salt industry is the foundation of the existence of Salt Marsh Town, so we should work together in both public and private affairs, do you think?"

Although Turce replied like this, he muttered in his heart, saying that you are showing weakness or showing goodwill?

Not only Tours, but the other three also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Woolley say this, and secretly said that the atmosphere had finally eased, and the background of Tours worked.

"Then let's do it first, I'm tired today, and tomorrow morning, all of them will come to the mansion, no one will be missing, and don't be late, or I'll be very angry." Woolley said as he slowly stood up.

Seeing the opportunity, Hubble hurriedly waved his hand and scolded the attendants, "Why don't you hurry up and salute Lord Woolley?"

Woolley waved his sleeves impatiently and turned to go out, Gruul glanced at the tavernkeeper and threw out a silver coin ...... with a flick of his hand

Hubble chased to the door to see him off, and when he saw Woolley and Gruul walking away, he quietly wiped his forehead and turned around and walked back to the wine table.

"Tours, what do you say now? Henry was asking Tours.

"What are you afraid of?" Tours glared at Henry and patted his chest, "Isn't there still me?" "

......

Woolley and Gruul walked slowly, the air still filled with the faint smell of salt and salt, but Gruul couldn't bother frowning at this moment.

"Woolley, I'm afraid these guys have already gotten the news. Guru said.

"That's for sure. Woolley nodded, "But it's nothing, anyway, I don't look down on any of these individuals."

"But the problem is that there are not many citizens in this salt marsh town, and if you want to find someone to replace them, let alone whether the Lunvington side will approve it, even if you have the manpower to replace them, it is difficult to guarantee it."

"Hmph, that's why I said, some of the old habits have to be changed. Wu Lai frowned and said that in the Assyrian territory, the system of preferential collection of cadastral officials has always been followed, and according to this custom, in addition to the title of consul, the town of salt marsh can only be held by a person who is not from the town of salt marsh.

"What's next?" asked Gruul.

"It's still about the ones that were discussed on the road, with some minor changes, and we'll think about it again in the evening. Woolley patted Gruul on the shoulder, "I've wronged you, I didn't expect the conditions here to be so difficult." "

It's all here, am I going to leave you behind?" asked Guru with a smile.

"Well, it's really my good brother, let's go around and see how poor and backward I am under my rule?"

"Hey, didn't you just kick in front of the door, didn't you say you were going to clean them up?" Guru hurriedly followed and quickened his pace, although he had a steady pace that did not match his age, his youthful heart had not been erased, he had seen Woolley 'clean up' people several times, and naturally he would always want to know what it would be like next time.

Woolley shrugged, "That's tomorrow." "
