I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Woolley's carriage was in a good mood as it left Rindor Manor, for after some sweet talk, Tina nodded in agreement with his request—waiting, waiting unswayed by Lady Leah's sway.

As for what he was waiting for, Woolley didn't say, so Tina understood, shy, and delighted in the direction Woolley expected.

After the carriage left Glyndor Manor for some distance

, Woolley looked at Sibanok with a smile: "How is it?" "Lady Leah should be tempted, Master Woolley, but the land of Glyndor Manor is not particularly good, are you sure you have thought it through?" asked Sibanok with a smile.

"That's the land left by my father, he was a hard worker, you may not know that when he took over the Glyndor estate, the land of the Glyndor estate was about to be sold, and it was he who brought the Glyndor estate back to life, and I, as his son, have an obligation to continue all this for him, and of course, these lands will eventually become Aden's, the son born to Lady Leah and my father. Woolley said.

"But young master, you must own land, a wise citizen will not exchange all his wealth for coins and houses, and know that saving food is the key to maintaining the continuation of the family, and there will always be famines, won't you?" said Sibanok.

"You're right, I take your advice, and, moreover, will do it in a very short time. Woolley smiled and continued, "Tell you about my father, I don't know how, the longer he passes, the more I miss him, but in my impression, he is clearly not a good father or a good man, his wisdom is used to calculate, to calculate others, and to count himself."

"I have to say that the young master's father is very similar to my father, so I can also conclude that your father and my father have at least one thing in common, that is, they love their son very much, young master, my father was like a villain in the last period of his life, but what he gave me was all he had. Sibanok's face showed emotion.

Woolley was stunned, for he suddenly felt that his drunkard father, Simon, seemed to really give all his love to himself, the love of a father to his son.

"Perhaps, you are right, maybe, he is really that kind of person, but I didn't notice it at the time. Woolley's voice was a little softer.

Xiban Oak smiled slightly: "Young master, one day, you will also be a father, believe me, it is not easy to be a father, being a father will always be misunderstood by his own children, and in many cases, this misunderstanding can cause distance between relatives."

Woolley nodded: "I would love to erect a statue of my father, like other citizen families, and put a statue of a memorable person in the living room, but I think it seems a little inappropriate to do so, because I want to be able to commemorate him alone."

"Then make a few more statues, and then when the white stone building is completed, put them in the garden or gazebo, just like the young master said, there is often more than one person in this world who is worthy of our memory, by the way, I haven't heard the young master mention your mother, may I know this?" asked Sibanok.

"I'm so sorry, I don't want to talk about her, to be honest, I don't remember her at all, and besides, she's been dead for a long time. After Woolley finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then continued, "I didn't start my topic well, so let's end it like this, by the way, from tomorrow, until I leave Seneca for Assyria, teach me everything you think I need to know, okay?"

Oh no, young master, there's so much you need to know, and it's too tight for me to guarantee that I'll be able to do this, but I think we can start with the origins of the Assyrian realm, which will help you get a clearer understanding of the state of the realm, what do you think?" Sibanok asked with a smile.

"Good idea. Woolley nodded.

Sipan Oak soon became busy, busy teaching Woolley and at the same time, handling the purchase of land for Woolley—this was obviously not an easy job, because the weather had been smooth in the past few years, and the nobles in Seneca City knew that Woolley was rich, so the prices offered were often a little high, even exceeding Woolley's expectations.

Inspired by his graceful and sincere words, and with the influence of Woolley, Sibanok finally facilitated the first land sale on the eleventh day of accepting this event—the purchase of a barren mountain twenty miles west of the city by the Seneca family.

No one knows what kind of intention the family had in mind to sell this barren mountain, but this barren mountain is really barren enough - except for the sparse more than 100 unhugged pine trees on the top of the mountain, the rest of the area is a mixture of rocks, shrubs, grasses and thorns, and has never been cultivated.

Woolley was glad to harvest this barren mountain, for although it was barren, the mountain was large enough, and according to the visual inspection and the comparison of the title deeds, the highest point of the mountain reached 1,700 cubits, and it was almost ten miles around the barren mountain, which means that the average diameter of the mountain reached almost three li, which is difficult not to be called a great mountain.

In everyone's eyes, the only desirable thing about this barren mountain is the large stone wall in the south of the mountain, which shows that a quarry can be built here or something, but Wu Lai's focus is not this, what he likes is the mountain and water source of this barren mountain -

three sides of this mountain are steep cliffs, although the south of the mountain is gentle, but it is a large stone wall, and even the path up the mountain is carved out of the stone wall.

There are water sources in the barren mountains, and there is more than one place, this is what Malone said - when Sibanok asked for confirmation of this matter, Malone was one of the executors, he found a total of four water sources, and reported that the water quality was sweet.

Even if it is a barren mountain, it is not cheap because it is large enough, at least in the eyes of the other nobles - in order to obtain this barren mountain, Woolley paid the price of forty-six thousand gold coins, and he also had to pay a transaction deed tax of up to two thousand three hundred gold coins, but he did not even hesitate to take out the money.

The Tubian family was very happy when they signed the contract, but they soon regretted it, because he suddenly felt that Woolley would not fall in love with this barren mountain for no reason, and since he was willing to buy it at such a price, he might be able to toss several times the wealth from this mountain.

But more nobles thought that Woolley had done something stupid - they came to the conclusion that even if Woolley could completely reclaim this barren mountain within five years, the grain he could harvest every year would not buy three hundred gold coins, which meant that Woolley would never want to return to his roots on this barren mountain in his life.

When the discussion reached Lady Leah's ears, Lady Leah was anxious and angry, and then she hurried to the White Stone Building. To her surprise, though, Woolley seemed to have anticipated her appearance and knew her purpose.

"Give me all the manor and land, and I will be in charge of your aristocratic life, and ensure the happiness and joy of Tina and Aden. Woolley handed a draft of the contract to Lady Leah, who had just sat down.

Lady Leah frowned, but her gaze involuntarily swept to the eye-catching terms on the draft contract.

In the end, Mrs. Leah walked out of the White Stone Building with a smile on her face, her smile was full of ease, happiness, and relief.

"Gauguin, go to the treasury and fetch four thousand gold coins, and send them to the Glyndor estate, and by the way, take Lady Leah, Tina, and Aden for a meal. Woolly smiled and instructed Gauguin, who had just walked in, "Family banquet, let's eat hot pot."

On the side, Sibanoak smiled as he transcribed the original contract—the final version of the deed that had been the result of a back-and-forth discussion between Lady Leah and Woolley, and that it would become a formal contract before Woolley's "family feast" began.

Lady Leah was delighted throughout the dinner, and she frequently raised her glass in celebration of the return of the "investment" of Grovel Manor and the upcoming pomp and circumstance of Lyndor Manor.

"They're going to die of envy. Lady Leah said drunkenly, "I will soon have a beautiful building."

"It must be so. Woolley smiled.

Tina, who was on the side, glanced at Woolley affectionately, and gently kicked him in the ankle under the cover of the dining table.

Wu Lai cleared his throat and raised his glass: "We are family again. "

Yes, family!" said Lady Leah, staggering to her feet, drunk and charming.

"From this day forward, I am responsible for you, I am the master for you, and you have to be obedient to me. Woolley seemed to be talking to himself, and to Lady Leah or Tina, for he looked out the window as he said this.

Outside the window, there is a deep night sky.

That night, Lady Leah was so drunk that her cheeks were red, and she couldn't even open her eyes. But she was still smiling, smiling, smug, even after the two slave girls helped her to bed.

Soon she lay down on the warm mattress and fell asleep, and after a short while, Tina came in with Aden in her arms, and when she saw that her mother was asleep, she smiled and stopped Aden's call, and sat down on the big chair beside the bed with him.

"It's good to be a family again. Tina said in her heart.

In the small living room, Woolley was wiping his face with the hot towel handed by El, he felt a little dizzy after drinking a lot of wine today, but it was obviously not time to rest yet, so no matter what, he needed to make his spirits better.

Sibanoak sat on the chair opposite Woolley, sipping a cup of hot water soaked in two slices of lemon peel.

"Almost. After a short moment, Woolley tossed the towel to El and waved her out of the small living room.

"Young Master, it can be seen from the conditions you gave to Glyndor Manor that you actually care about them, not those lands. Sibanok smiled and spoke.

"I hated them, but in the end I didn't hate them, because the hatred is unreasonable, between families, there is no need to divide too finely, and there is no need to become enemies, as long as I don't touch my bottom line, I am not willing to hurt or give up any family member. Woolley said.

"The young master's open-mindedness is worthy of admiration, many tragedies in the citizen family are caused by disharmony. Sibanok nodded.

"To tell you the truth, I myself don't think it's time to leave, after all, the White Stone Building has just started, and the pace is not steady, but since fate has called like this, then I have nothing to retreat, I see going to the Assyrian Civic College as a charge, and the White Stone Building and Lyndor Manor are my most solid backing, only the stability of these two places can allow me to rush and kill without distractions, and smash everything that dares to block me into pieces, and step into powder. Woolley's eyes shone with determination.

Sibanok nodded approvingly: "Don't worry, young master, before you set off, I will try to find you everything you need." "

Please. Woolley smiled and said.

The next day, the renovation of the Glyndor Manor began, which was no small project—the interior and exterior walls of the house needed to be painted, the walls, fences, and canals all had to be repaired, and according to Mrs. Leah, she and Tina's bedroom should have been replaced with more furniture, curtains, and of course, more cloth and wool for new clothes.

Woolley didn't have time to pay attention to the renovation of Glyndor Manor, and Lady Leah was not good at it anyway, so she was no worse than Woolley in handling this kind of thing. So, Woolley spent most of his time with the two glass-making slaves, named Dotou and Balai, both in their early thirties, with the same timid and cautious attitude.

Soon, Woolley found an effective way to reduce the air bubbles in the glass, which undoubtedly excited him, but soon he also ran into a problem—the raw materials for making glass were scarce in the Seneca city-state.

Woolley handed it over to Klee, who was in charge of purchasing, believing that there was no raw material that could not be bought, and that no matter how expensive it was, it was worth buying.

Dutu and Barley told Woolley that the material was available almost everywhere in the Hoolett territory. As he listened, Woolley sighed and said something that neither Dotu nor Balai understood.

When Woolley was busy, Siban Oak was busier than he was—busy buying land, and busy exchanging land. Because Wu Lai said that what he needed was contiguous land, and it was best to radiate around the barren mountains, at least, close to the barren mountains.

Incidentally, the barren mountain has actually been given a new name by Woolly and inscribed on the title deed - its new name is somewhat odd, "Daishan".

With ten days to go until the New Year, Sibanok can finally stop and rest for a few days. After being busy for so long, he basically fulfilled Woolley's expectations - in the west of Daishan, the contiguous land that he obtained through purchase and exchange was a total of more than 2,200 acres, of which only half was wheat fields, and the rest were slopes very close to the water source, which reduced Woolley's gold coins by more than 30,000 pieces.

"Young Master, we don't have so many people to cultivate it. Sibanok said.

"There will be. Woolley looked at the title deed with satisfaction and said.
