I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Operation Street Cleanup is for the sake of Safety, and the Fortified City Plan is an out-and-out outright outright, but Woolley is well aware that if the situation in Salt Marsh is to be completely reversed, both things must be done.

Although some minor problems were exposed and the lives of residents were greatly affected, the operation was generally going smoothly.

It's time to start planning a fortified city - Woolley isn't in a hurry, it's a situation that forces him to do it. Think about it, there are bandits and other wolves outside, and there are bandits in the town.

"It's a big project. Woolley said to Guru, who was helping to cut the paper, as he sketched the drawings.

"I thought you didn't know. Guru said half-jokingly, but a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Defending against bandits is a passive defensive job, if you want to prevent the whole town from being safe and sound, the wall and elite soldiers are indispensable, but the current situation is that the wall is in tatters, and the combat effectiveness of the people's army is low.

Gruul felt that it was almost impossible for Woolley to become strong enough to defend against bandits in a short period of time.

"Of course I do. Woolley didn't look up, "I know what you're thinking." "

Really, tell me and listen to it?" Guru smiled slightly, but he already believed seventy percent in his heart.

Woolley replied as he continued to sketch, "You must be thinking, this salt marsh town parapet is so dilapidated, these Conservative Army are so rubbish, no matter how capable Woolley Glin, it is impossible to change all this in a short period of time, so, the fortified city plan, a bit hanging, Gruul, am I right?"

Gruul shrugged: "Okay, I have to admit, you are wrong."

"Meng? Do you still need Meng? There are thousands of people in Salt Marsh Town, as long as their brains can still be used, I'm afraid they all have this idea. Woolley smiled slightly, changed a piece of paper and continued to sketch.

Guru bowed his head lightly and asked, " On the way here, you said that if you want to prevent bandits, you have to be strong and strong, and if you want to take the initiative to attack, you have to be strong and strong, but we have seen it in the past two days, the retaining wall of Salt Marsh Town is dilapidated and in disrepair, and there are many shortages, which are like nothing, and the decent stones within a radius of dozens of miles of Salt Marsh Town have long been mined, and transporting stones back and forth from dozens of miles away is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also very slowing down, in addition, those guys in the People's Army, even the ordinary nursing homes are stronger than them, and most of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, so many constraints, the plan to fortify the city, I am afraid it is not easy, and......

" "And those guys in Lunnington are still waiting to see me laugh, and my nominal subordinates in Salt Marsh are still waiting to throw cold water on me and throw knives, right?"

Gruul nodded earnestly, what Woolley said was what he thought.

"Wait and see, they'll be disappointed. Woolley picked up the drawing and handed it to Gruul, "Here, show it for me."

Guru took the drawing and glanced at it a few times, and his brows suddenly ......

The next morning, Lauren hurried out of the mansion with a handyman.

At the same time, Baker walked into Woolley's office with a smile: "Lord Woolley, are you looking for me?"

"Sit down." Woolley smiled and gestured to the chair next to the table, "I have something to say."

"But according to orders, I will definitely do a good job for you. Baker sat down with a smile, his mood was quite good, because in the past two days, he had changed his way to "pick" two hundred and forty from the construction transfer of the eight thousand five hundred gold coins into his purse. The money slips all had Woolley's signature and fire paint stamp, and Baker also found that Woolley never paid attention to the details listed on the documents when he signed, and he didn't even make a symbolic inquiry.

It looks like this is a reminder to Baker - well, I care so much about you, you have to stand by me.

Although there was still a slight hesitation, it has to be said that Baker's heart has slowly flown to Woolley.

"I have a construction project here, which requires about 5,000 gold coins, and the more troublesome thing is that it is not a one-time take-out, but it has to be exchanged for silver coins, which is a part of the daily expenditure, and you need to be on the spot during the construction of the project. Woolley said.

"None of this is a problem. Baker nodded with a smile, "It sounds like the adults want to hire workers, and there are a lot of hired workers, so if you distribute it on the spot, you can simply collect the tax together, right?"

Wu Lai hesitated for a moment, and nodded his head: "Your idea is good, but this time the project is tight and the task is heavy, in order to encourage the hired workers, the tax amount may as well be lower."

"That's fine. "Beck, this is called a frenzy, on-the-spot taxation, levy more and levy less, but you have the final say, the wage flow of 5,000 gold coins, pinched casually, but it is a lot of income.

"Then hurry up. Woolley nodded and waved his hand, "By the way, help me call Henry over."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave. Baker smiled and nodded, getting up and leaving.

After a short moment, Henry hurried into Woolley's office.

After sitting down according to the words, Henry hesitated for a moment, and asked Wu Lai, who seemed to be frowning and thinking: "Lord Wu Lai, may I ask, is there anything to do with me?"

Woolly sighed heavily and asked, "Henry, you have been the tribune of Salt Marsh Town for some years, you tell me the truth, can the soldiers under your command resist even one raid by bandits?"

"

I've been trying to repair the parapet during this time, and I'm worried that the bandits will destroy it when they hear the news, and your forces won't be enough to defend it. Woolley paused, and then said, "So, I want you to go to the city of Lunvington to bring some reinforcements, military expenses, in addition to the expenses of Salt Marsh Town, I personally come up with a sum as an additional reward, what do you think?"

"Lord Woolley, what ...... this," Henry frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, within the city-state of Lenwinton, the First Legion has never had a precedent for garrisoning troops in villages and towns, and there have been cases of assisting in the suppression of bandits, but the number of times is very limited, after all, no one knows where those bandits will hide, my lord, if you have the heart to strengthen your defense, it is better to spend this money on repairing the parapet, hiring civilians as protectors, and buying ordnance."

"You have a point, but I still want to fight for it. "When I left the city of Lincwinton, Archon George said that he would give me special care, and that he would raise his own military expenses to apply for reinforcements, and that I must ensure the smooth completion of the defenses, so you should make a hard trip."

Seeing Woolley's resolute attitude, Henry nodded happily and agreed, patiently listened to Woolley's instructions, then took the travel money withdrawal slip handed by Woolley, and left the office quickly.

When he turned to close the door, a contemptuous smile appeared on Henry's lips.

Hmph, giving you special care? Of course it's special care, but it's not the kind you want. Henry said this to Woolley in his heart.

After withdrawing three gold coins from Baker, Henry made a beeline out of the mansion, not in a hurry, but to the mansion in Tours, north of town.

It stands to reason that Tours, the salt official, should stay in the salt works at this time, but he didn't even go out today, just holding two beautiful maids to drink and have fun, and no one would or dare to care about him anyway.

Henry's first words when he saw Tours were: "Tours, Woolley Greendo wants to borrow troops from the city of Lunvington." "

Oh?" said Tours, who was suddenly interested, and hurriedly waved off the two disheveled maids, "Tell me about it."

After Henry finished speaking, Tours pondered for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "I'll accompany you on this trip."

"You're going to come with me on this trip?" Henry was stunned, "do you think the First Legion would be willing to come and garrison?" "

Of course they won't be happy, but what if the bandits suddenly attack you on the day you, the tribune, leave Salt Marsh?" said Tours with a wicked smile.

Henry was stunned, and then laughed, if Tours's words were heard by someone else, he might be confused, but who is Henry, the tribune of Salt Marsh Town for so many years, where would he not hear the strangeness in this, to put it bluntly, the two are the same dog, but there has been no cooperation in this area before.

In the afternoon, Lauren hurried back to the mansion and knocked on the door of Woolley's office.

"My lord, the tribune Henry and the Salt Workers of Tours have left the town, and I am afraid they have traveled five miles by this time. Lauren reported as she wiped her sweat.

"See clearly?" asked Woolley, his eyes lit up.

"See clearly. Lauren replied in the affirmative.

"Good. Wu Lai waved his hand, "Go and get Master Guru for me, and then, play the assembly drum." "

Yes, my lordship. Lauren bowed and walked briskly out of the office ......

The rhythm of the drums was unhurried, but the people who heard the drums were a little anxious, and they hurriedly closed their doors and rushed to the training ground of the People's Liberation Army.

This was also a common sight in the Assyrian lands, and whether there was an enemy attack or a gathering, the use of bells and drums to inform was always less time-consuming than the use of manpower, except that the villages and towns used drums, and the cities used trumpets in addition to the sound of drums.

Drum rhythm was a compulsory subject in the Assyrian realm, but it was not difficult to learn at all, the unhurried single sound was the assembly drum beat, and the two rapid consecutive drums were the enemy attack drums.

There were more than 4,100 people in Salt Marsh Town, except for those who stayed in the salt field and the aristocratic courtyard to guard their families, the rest of the people filled the entire training ground.

After the drumbeat ended, Wu Lai appeared with a smile, this was the second time he appeared in front of so many people, and the first time was naturally the one that Ling Chi was a criminal.

Baker followed behind Woolley with a smile on his face, and Gruul deliberately followed him one step behind.

When they saw Woolley appear, people began to commotion, some cheered, some applauded, most of these applause cheers were the people who got the benefits of the street cleaning operation, and more people just watched timidly, they were in awe of Woolley, and the fear component accounted for more than half, because the new young consul played a high-profile collective arrest as soon as he entered the town, and within two days, the thieves and scoundrels who had not been able to catch the People's Army for decades were completely killed, and then one by one they were whipped up, only to beat these guys crying dad and calling mother, and then continued, actually chopped the three murderers to death like slicing fish, such a fierce and vicious character, where would he dare to make a mistake in front of him?"

Wu Lai waved his hand and raised his homemade loudspeaker, "Gather everyone here today, I have three things I want to ask!"

Baker was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Gruul, seeing his calm face, his heart suddenly moved, by the way, with the friendship between this young master of the Kochi family and Woolly Green, he would naturally know in advance what Woolley Greendo wanted to announce, it seems that in the future, he will have to be closer to Gruul in both public and private.

"Whatever you want, let's listen!" shouted someone.

Hearing this familiar voice, a smile appeared on the corner of Guru's mouth, if he heard correctly, the person who shouted should be Lauren.

"Okay!" Woolley raised his bull, "My first sentence is, do you want to make money?

!" "Yes

!" "Of course you

want to!" "Who doesn't want to!"

Everyone replied noisily, and at the same time secretly wondered if this Lord Woolley was going to arrest someone again.

"I can't hear clearly! Answer louder!Come, follow my gesture!" Woolley shouted loudly, "After I call out the question, raise my right arm, and you shout out the answer! The answer is simple, yes, or don't want to, hear clearly! I'll repeat it only once......"

...... Now, I'm going to start asking!Do you want to make money?!"

As soon as the words fell, Woolly raised his right arm high!

"Think!" The three thousand or so people shouted in unison, and the sky resounded like thunder.

"Second sentence, do you want to defend your homeland?!" Woolley raised his right arm again.

"Yes!" this time the thunder was even worse than before.

"Okay!" Woolley's emotions were also mobilized, and he shouted with almost all his strength, "The third sentence, do you want the town of Salt Marsh to be prosperous again?!"

"Want to !!" The people almost roared.

Guru, who was standing not far behind Woolley, suddenly had a feeling of blood boiling, not only for him, but also for most of the people present, as if they had some kind of conviction, and followed their loud answers......

Yes, who doesn't want to make money, who doesn't want to defend their homeland, who doesn't want to live in a prosperous ......
