I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Before Sean arrived, Woolley already knew that Lunvington had arranged for this guy to serve as the security officer, and Sean's rhythm of going to the post all the way to see the mountains and rivers, eating, drinking and having fun was naturally not as fast as Sein's communication.

Sean's secret letter said that Sean had three greeds, greedy for money, greedy for sex and greedy for cups, and had a very average character, and was George's civilian attendant and was very loyal to George.

Since it was a dog that was about to bite him, of course Woolley was willing to tease and tease Sean, just like the question just now, no matter how Shaun answered him, there was a set of words to embarrass him, which was Woolley's bad taste.

However, Sean chose to remain silent now, which also made Woolley think a little more highly of him, because it at least showed that Sean was still a little cautious under the surface arrogance.

Caution, of course, stems from the wariness of Woolley.

"You've been working hard all the way, let's get together tonight and wash the dust for you. Woolley smiled and said.

"Nope. Sean waved his hand and said very dryly, "Archon Woolley, you said it yourself, I have been traveling all the way, so I feel very tired, and when I came, the treasurer Job, asked me to go to the salt works to deliver a letter to Tours, I have been friends with Tours for many years, the first wine in the town of salt marsh, I plan to drink there at the salt fields." "

The meaning of Sean's words is obvious, I am the opposite of you Woolley, and it is impossible to be friends.

Wu Lai really didn't expect that this guy in front of him didn't even care about basic etiquette, according to the routine, the officials took up their new positions, and the consuls held a banquet to welcome the wind, first, to show friendship, and secondly, to let everyone know each other, and also to lay the foundation for mutual cooperation in the future.

But this guy is good, and he actually rejected it in one bite.

"Since you're not available, it's okay, I'll talk about it later, but it's important to know your jurisdiction first, because Salt Marsh is a little different from other places. Wu Lai nodded, and said in his heart that you kid put on a high-profile score as soon as he came, and it was really hard for you to have such a big heart.

"Of course. Sean glanced at Woolley, and couldn't help but feel proud again, he found that it was very good to make Woolley deflated.

Wu Lai stood up slowly, took out a thin booklet from the wooden shelf behind him and raised it: "This has an overview of the salt marsh town and the duties, rights, and obligations of each position, your office is in the first room on the left side of the corridor, and the second room is the Cultural Affairs Bureau, which is also under your control, you can take this booklet back and read it slowly, I still have something to do." There was

a soft click, and the pamphlet was tossed out by Woolley and landed on his desk.

Let me see for myself? Isn't it just a specific introduction for me?" Sean was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

Woolly sat back in his chair and waved his sleeve: "Sean, you can go." Sean

was stunned, Woolley's attitude was even more arrogant than him, no matter how he said that he was only one level shorter than you, you actually wanted to drive me away with a wave of your sleeves?

Woolley frowned, and his voice suddenly raised a little: "Sean, is your citizenship a fake?" Sean

was stunned, turned around, and saw Woolley staring at himself "viciously", so he also frowned, and said: "Archon Woolley, I'm afraid what you said is a little inappropriate, right? I can basically understand it as a contempt or slander for me, my citizenship, but it is genuine."

Wu Lai was waiting for his words, and when he heard this, he was about to slam the table and ...... "bang

". "If you are a citizen, then you should understand that etiquette is the mark of a citizen, politeness is the code of conduct of a citizen, and more importantly, I am your superior, and your rudeness to me is because you are rude in the first place, or is it your contempt for the decisions of the Supreme Council?" asked Woolley in a deep voice.

Sean's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't answer Woolley's question, because this guy, who was said to be known for his brutality and deceit, actually moved out of moral etiquette to talk about things, and threw black hats one after another, but he couldn't refute ......

"What are you doing in a daze, get out!" Woolley rebuked unceremoniously, "Remember, don't make an example, or I'll say it at the meeting of the nobles of the city-state of London."

Sean was stunned again, this was angry in his heart, this guy in front of him was drinking to himself, his arrogance was simply arrogant, think about it, he had been by the side of Archon George for many years, how could he have been so angry.

Sean left in a huff, he couldn't do it if he didn't go, did he stay here and wait for Woolley's next round of insults without dirty words? As soon as he walked away, Gruul knocked on Woolley's door and walked in.

"New here?" asked Gruul as he closed the door, nearly colliding with an angry Sean at the corner of the stairs.

"Yes, Sergeant An, sent by Leventon, you have come just in time, sit down, I have something to tell you. Woolley motioned for Gruul to sit down, picking up the three commissions on the table and handing them to him, "You take a look at this first."

Looking at it, Gruul's brows slowly furrowed, and after reading it carefully, he sighed lightly, put the three mandate documents back on the table, and said, "Lunvington is giving us a problem."

"If there is no problem, that's a strange thing. Wu Lai smiled slightly, and threw the three appointment documents into the drawer, "What I can't bear the most is that they always throw some small characters over, like flies, and they don't have the ability, they just buzz around you all day long, which is very annoying."

Hearing Woolley's description, Gruul couldn't help laughing, and after finally stopping, he said: "Woolley, this is Salt Marsh Town, the most remote and barren town within the Lwington city-state, apart from these small characters in your mouth, who do you think George can send? He wants the big characters to come, but people won't be happy, besides, there is no one who can compete with you, and the Leventon city-state is afraid that there is none."

I love to hear the latter sentence. Woolley nodded with a smile, and continued, "You're right, at least for now, it's unlikely that they'll arrange too decent people to come, and they won't make much of a move on me, but if I go to touch the salt pan, they will definitely make a decisive move, and when you look at it at that time, the lineup must be exaggerated."

"By the way, there's a question I've always wanted to ask, and since you've asked it all, I'll say a few more words by the way. Gruul smiled and said, "Are you going to touch the salt works?" "

Do you think I should touch this salt works?" Woolley asked rhetorically.

Gruul shook his head seriously, "No. "

Why?" Woolley asked with a smile.

"Because the saltworks are in the city-state of Lunvington, I believe that you can take the saltworks under your command as long as you want, no matter how difficult it is, but don't forget, the saltworks can't be taken away. "I have to warn you that it is a small group that controls the salt works, and their purpose in possessing them is not for money, my father said that whoever controls the salt works is equivalent to the control of two-thirds of Assyria's territory, and the core of the salt industry in Ravington is the salt industry, and once the salt is cut off here, it will not be long before Assyria will have turmoil."

Gruul knew that Chief Connor had told him this before he took office, and Connor also said that the salt industry in Lincington was the greatest reliance of the Duncan family, and that it was meaningful for the First Legion to station the most elite of its command in Lincington - when talking about this, Connor added "Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended", and after speaking, a gloomy color appeared in his brow.

Woolley knew that Connor's greatest fear was division, and such a thing had existed in Assyrian history, because there would always be people who consciously or unconsciously inflate their desires to the limit, and if they happened to have the corresponding conditions, then this person would not mind giving it a try.

Moreover, although the separation of powers under the current Assyrian territory continues to play a role in suppressing ambitions, it has been loosened, such as the Duncan family, which is represented by Qiyuan, not only firmly controlled the Senate, but even the Supreme Council of Nobles also won half of the country, and there was the most elite First Army in its hands, once the ambition swelled, it would inevitably be a huge disaster for the Assyrian territory.

"If they are allowed to continue to hold on, will there be no unrest? I think that if this continues, the unrest will come sooner and more violently. Woolley said.

Gruul was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, Wu Lai was right, conniving at the current group of people to continue to control it would undoubtedly advance and intensify the turmoil.

"So you mean, you're going to touch it anyway?" asked Gruul tentatively, if Woolley really had this idea, he really didn't dare to hide it from the family, because the slightest mistake would make the Kochi family doomed.

"If I insist on touching it, will you support it?" asked Woolley rhetorically.

After hesitating for a moment, Gruul sighed and nodded, and said, "Okay, if you want to do it, I'll accompany you, but I have to let you know first, I can't let the Kochi family get involved, my personal life and death can be put aside, but I can't implicate them."

"Well, that's enough for you. Woolley laughed and said, "I promise you, when I touch it, I won't trouble the Kochi family, and I won't take any chances, and I won't act rashly until I'm sure I've done it."

"I hope so. Gruul shook his head with a wry smile, and suddenly asked, "Why do you have to touch this salt farm? If you want to make merit and protect the salt marsh town, and then suppress more bandits, and survive for two years, we can leave here and take up a post in a city-state." "

It's so good here, why should I go to another city-state?" asked Woolley, spreading his hands.

"Where's the salt farm? Do you want to have a monopoly on the salt industry?" asked Gruul.

"To be honest, I don't have much interest in the salt industry, what I like is another thing here, I took the salt farm to get it, and with it, the world will tremble. Woolley said with a smile, he was referring to nitrate, with nitrate, plus the sulfur abundant in the Katiri's grassland, with Woolley's experience as a soldier king in the "other world", would there be a lack of black powder?

"Tremor?" Gruul looked at Woolley and covered his ears, "Don't go any further, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the temptation after hearing this, and then put the entire Kochi family into your 'tremor'."

"I'll go, believe it or not. Woolley stretched, "We're a little far away, why are you coming to me right now?"

Gruul took out a notebook from his bosom and handed it to Woolley as he said, "This is the expense account, this year's fee has not yet been paid by Lenwinton, and the money given by Chief Connor can only support the completion of the canal protection project at most, I am here to ask what to do? Do we need

to pay it ourselves?" "I can't pay it myself, it's not a matter of money, it will make them see jokes, and it will also affect my reputation in the future." Woolley shook his head and said, "Leave it to me, the city-state council is about to begin, and I'll go to the city of Lincington to ask for it then."

As soon as Gruul was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion outside the window, and as soon as he was startled, Woolley got up and walked quickly to the window.

"Sean, why are you again?!" Woolley asked angrily, his anger was naturally suspicious of playing on the topic, because at this moment Sean was obviously out of disadvantage - in the courtyard, five servants surrounded Sean, judging from their appearance, it seemed that they wanted to do something to Sean, but as soon as they saw Woolley appear in front of the window, they retreated.

Sean looked up, and hurriedly shouted, "Archon Woolley, look, these servants not only don't listen to the arrangement, but also dare to commit crimes!" "

What's the matter?" Woolley frowned and looked at the attendants.

"Lord Woolley, that's the ......," one of the servants hurriedly said......
