I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Woolley eventually figured out that the Civic College was at lunch—that meal was not eaten at home, but at one of his "next homes," and that the other seven "next houses" were accompanied.

After the eight subordinates gossiped and gossiped, Wu Lai understood that after the children of the nobles entered the Assyrian Civic College for two years and successfully passed the examination, they could obtain the reserve qualification of officials, and once there was an official vacancy in any city or town in the Assyrian territory, they could make up for it justifiably.

It turned out to be an official hat organization. Wu Lai thought in his heart, and saw that several "Xia Jia" were all looking at him with a smile, and he also knew that everyone was waiting for his statement, and after a little hesitation, he said with a wry smile: "I said that you guys are too ruthless, you actually want to use all the collection money to offset it with a carriage, where can I get so many vehicles at once?"

"I didn't learn from you." A "Xia Jia" said with a smile, "Wu Lai, you don't want your slaves to work more, you only have 4,500 gold coins, a few of us, there are three of 8,000, and the total is almost 50,000." "

Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. Wu Lai sighed and shook his head, "I'll reduce the price of fifteen gold coins per set of cars, this is already the limit." The

eight "Xiajia" smiled at each other, and raised their wine glasses with satisfaction: "Woolley, good, for friendship, cheers!" "

For friendship!" Woolley raised his glass, and said in his heart that this was delivered to the door by yourself, it's really good, when Anthony finishes disposing of those carriages in other cities, there will inevitably be another wave of orders, alas, it is difficult to make money.

At the same time, in the Glyndor manor, Lady Leah called Tina into the room: "Tina, you should hurry, you don't know how majestic Woolley is at the meeting of nobles today, and besides, he has been nominated to go to the Assyrian Civic Academy, and more than half of the nobles who support him ......

" In the consul's mansion, Anthony looked at Dorjee standing in front of him with a dark face.

"Tell me, what made you make this stupid move, to thank Woolly for giving you a pass?" Anthony asked in a deep voice.

"No, of course not. Dorjee shook his head and leaned closer to Anthony," Lord Archon, as far as I know, Woolley is very close to the Fourth Legion, and you also said that the Second Legion's General Auman pays extra attention to him, and now the Third Legion is about to garrison Seneca again, with Woolley's ability, I am afraid that it will be easy to please the new lieutenant general, and now he has a lot of tricks and vassals, if his power is greater, maybe he will scatter the hearts of the Seneca nobles, think about it, this is not a good thing for us.

"Isn't it a good thing to send him to Civic College?" Anthony asked rhetorically.

"For us, it's really like this, Lord Archon, it's been almost thirty years, and there are no less than forty noble children recommended by Seneca to the Civic Academy, but as a result, who else can make it to the top three of the city-state besides Aesop?" replied Dorjee.

Anthony frowned, as an archon, he didn't like his subordinates too much, but Dorjee was undoubtedly right, in the past thirty years, the Seneca city-state has indeed not produced any decent officials.

"I heard that Bunney has been lobbying other citizens these days, as if to get support for sending his son and nephew to the civic college. After a little thought, Dorjee added.

After a slight pause, Anthony frowned.

In the evening, Woolley walked into the temple.

After listening to Woolley's narration, Mikoyan pondered for a long time and slowly shook his head: "Woolley, this is not necessarily a good thing. "

Why?" asked Woolley, with a stir in his heart.

"As far as I know, every two years, there will be hundreds of noble children in the Assyrian city-states to study in the Assyrian Civic College, but in the end few successfully passed the assessment, in addition to the difficulty of the assessment, the atmosphere of the Civic College is also very problematic, the children of the nobility are often brave and ruthless, and the competition is common, the academy generally does not interfere, and the confidence is weak, I am afraid that even two years can not survive. Mikoyan said.

"Is that still an academy?" Woolley frowned.

"Of course, the more such an environment can train people, the more officials in the Assyrian territory are not easy to be, whether it is to balance the relationship or to fight for power and profit, it takes skill and courage, even the two years of the academy can't survive, this official is better not to be. Mikoyan said with a smile.

"Yes, but it seems to contradict your previous assertions. Woolly nodded and said.

"It's not a contradiction, it's not necessarily a bad thing to enter the academy, but at this time, it's a bit of a problem. After a pause, Mikoyan's expression became serious, "As for what the problem is, I don't really know, I just think so in my heart." "

Is the relationship between the Third Legion and the Second Legion good?" Woolley asked suddenly.

I heard that the purpose of removing the fortress of Red Valley Bay was to lure the Hullitets in to fight, so that the Third Army and its supporters could offset the influence of the Second Army's successive small victories in raiding the Hullit's territory. Mikoyan replied.

"When was the raid?" asked Woolley, curious.

"Half a month ago, a thousand light cavalry of the Second Legion crossed the canyon, broke through a Hullit checkpoint, took advantage of the chaos to break into the territory of the Hullit, attacked two towns in a row in one day, gained a lot, and then returned the same way, destroyed half of the checkpoint that had not had time to be repaired, and retreated......" Mikoyan talked eloquently, and at the end, he glanced at Woolley quite meaningfully," It is closely related to you, the thousand light armored cavalry is driving, but the war horse you sell, of course, this is another proof of the magic of the horse harness given by God. "

Then wouldn't I be able to raise the price?" Woolley joked.

Mikoyan shook his head: "Don't be too happy, the Third Army withdrew its troops to invite battle, just don't want General Human's light cavalry to be too showy, Seneca, Menia, and Nanjin are three city-states far away, just forming a flanking attack on Honggu Bay, it is easy for the Hullites to come in, once they are surrounded, they can't run if they want to, besides, the three cities are all hilly areas, and the advantages of cavalry warfare can not be brought into play, how can they be as galloping and wanton as in the Hullit Plain."

"You say, I still don't hear any harm to me, as long as the Hullites don't win, I won't have anything to lose, and as long as there are legions that want to form cavalry to attack the Hulets, I won't worry about not being able to sell my god-given harness. Woolly frowned.

"Maybe I'm overthinking, but I have to remind you that it is not the amount of wealth he has, but his connections, which ultimately determine the status of a citizen, and in this, the support of the military is very important, and almost all nobles will pay attention to befriending military personnel. Mikoyan patted Woolley on the shoulder, "Even those of us clergy sometimes have to deal with military personnel. "

You mean, maybe someone didn't want me to get too close to the military?" Woolley asked.

"There may be a factor in this, but I can't be sure, the Third Legion is strong, and the presence in Seneca is equivalent to providing an excellent opportunity for the citizens here to get close, and whoever gets the relationship first will get the most benefits, see, time will tell. Mikoyan shook his head, "It's not a good time for you to leave at this time."

"What a big deal, there are more military personnel in the city of Assyria, and if you really want to make friends with the army, wouldn't it be better to go to the city of Assyria." Woolley said disapprovingly.

"You'll know when the time comes. Mikoyan smiled slightly, turned around and took out an object from the cupboard, "I'll show you something new, this is the trophy captured by the Second Legion in the territory of Hoolet, and it is very precious."

Wu Lai took it and glanced at it, almost not laughing, what kind of precious thing, isn't it just a rough glass plate, the glass is full of bubbles, and the level of craftsmanship is obviously still in the initial stage.

"Don't tell me you bought it for a fortune. Woolley said with a smile.

"Definitely not, I only paid two gold coins to get it. Mikoyan said with a smug face.

"Two gold coins? That's it?" Wu Lai rolled his eyes, although he didn't understand how to make glass, but he knew that the raw materials for making glass were very ordinary, worthless, and the process was not troublesome.

"Isn't it worthy?" Mikoyan frowned.

"Well...... "Woolley scratched his head, "it depends on which angle you look at it."

Mikoyan was stunned for a moment, then took the glass tray from Woolley's hand.

"Your Excellency, this thing reminds me, by the way, do you have a way to get a craftsman who can make it?" asked Woolley, with a stir in his heart.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, but if you tell me about its benefits first, I might be able to figure it out. Mikoyan said with an embarrassed expression.

"Your Excellency, High Priest, don't pretend to be good, don't you? This thing even you paid two gold coins to buy, which means that the Assyrian realm has never appeared before, that is, the people who made it are Hurlits, and I believe that you will be able to get the slaves taken from the Hurlets, and I believe that you can pick out the people who know how to make this. "There are two options I can give," said Woolley, "one is to get two slaves who are sure to know how to make this, and I will offer fifty gold coins each, and second, to find slaves and contribute a thousand gold coins to partner with me, and by the way, I will help protect my interests while I am away from Seneca City to study, and I will give you two and a half of the profits after the production of such things."

Michael rolled his eyes and said, "If you give me thirty and a half, I will choose the second, and if you want me to choose the first, I will give you two hundred gold coins for each slave."

"Okay, then three and a half. Woolley smiled and held out his hand.

"Woolley, it seems that every time I work with you, you will run away from me first, and to be honest, I don't like that very much. Mikoyan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Please believe that even if Woolleglindo is penniless now, he can find a guy who is willing to pay for it, crying and shouting after him, and competing to give me the money. Woolley shook Mikoyan's hand.

"I believe it. Michael bowed slightly.

In the following half a month, Woolley was a little busy, allocating equipment to eight "subordinates", gathering the unselected child slaves to attend classes in a newly built area in the White Rock Building, and also going to Lyndor Manor as a guest, and finally, he also entrusted Mikoyan to find a new first butler for him - he had no opinion on this Gauguin, first of all, he did not dare, and secondly, Woolley also said that the new first housekeeper was only responsible for entertaining nobles, The external affairs of the officials did not divide Gauguin's existing powers and responsibilities, and besides, Woolley had just entrusted him with a very important matter, and even raised his salary to one gold coin a month for this purpose.

Of course, Gauguin was not the only one whose salary was raised, but the monthly salaries of Nerton, Klee, Foss, Moniga, and Hippo had reached fifty silver coins a month, and in addition, the housekeepers could also get a bonus of two gold coins every three months, and under the heavy reward, the housekeepers worked more dedicatedly.

For some reasons, Woolley has no intention of giving freedom to Malone and the others for the time being, but the treatment has been much higher than before, and naturally, the work of the slave guards is also very satisfactory to Woolley. However, the vulture and Puya made Woolley a little worried, because the vulture seemed to be in a hurry, so in addition to the basic training course arranged by Woolley, he made his own decision to increase the intensity of training for these child slaves, during this time, more than 20 child slaves have fallen ill and then sent down the back mountain, but Woolley has nothing to say about this, because he entrusted the training to the vulture.
