"Yes, the land of Lombardy, west of Bari, was a gathering place of money merchants and usurers (in the Middle Ages, it was customary to call usurers Lombards until the Jews were on a par with them), and it was particularly convenient for the financial circulation of money. In short, after storing a certain amount www.biquge.info of coins, we can consider setting up a bank in Bari City. The widow closed her eyes and stroked her belly, which was about to give birth, very quietly, "Now there are such institutions in Pisa and Milan, and the Holy See also draws eleven taxes from all over the world, and also faces the same difficulties as Seleucia, so the concentration of gold coins in such banks, coupled with the additional support of the Seleucian treasury, can generate a very stable and powerful virtual credit, and then we can lend to monasteries, merchants, rich peasants, and even the royal families and lords of other countries, or loan houses, and enjoy the benefits of interest, In this way, the trading groups of Bari and Seleucia will be quickly formed, which can take care of the large local hospital estates and handle large commerce, and it will not be difficult to build a trading fleet. It's like my belly, which gives birth to something new. As she spoke, the widow patted her stomach, and the two girls who were listening laughed too—the little sunfish was clever and clever, and soon understood the good of the "bank" of which the widow spoke, and the others did not bother to think deeply; Hetomia was more cautious, and she was determined to go back and look through the books, and study the institution in all kinds of manuscripts.

Then, the widow put the sorted out will and contract back into the box and pushed it in the direction of the girl of the Orson family, "Hurry up and send it to Gawain to browse, and you can stamp it in turn after the instructions." ”

At this moment, Anna turned from the terrace and walked into the hall, interrupted the widow's words, and interjected with a serious expression, "There is no need to ask the great barbarian, at this moment he has left Seleucia and gone to the city of Tarsus, and deployed his forces to assist Bohemond in the decisive battle of Samosata." Our time is limited, and before the clouds of the sky over there engulf the land...... "At this point, both Hertomia and Agnes fell silent.

Indeed, as far as the Acropolis looked, the dark rain clouds from the plateau had covered the whole valley of the Mut River in a gloomy and were rapidly approaching here—"I have received three pieces of news, one is that the archdeacon of St. Nicholas of the city of Bari, and that my true teacher, Idorus, has passed away and ascended to the paradise of bliss, and that he has left me only the precious inheritance of the manuscripts; Therefore, I am ready to send Gottschalke to take his place, and to take up the task of monitoring the movements of the city of Rome, which is said to be terminally ill, and that Granaai is already on standby there, and that the election of the Patriarch of the city of Rome is about to be in the political turmoil, and it is impossible not to be cautious; The third news was that my father had captured the castle of Ferna in Isuria in the west, so that he had opened the passage to the south and north of the mountain, and it was said that he was gathering 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers, and the soldiers were coming in two directions, respectively, towards the city of Konia in Giglia and our Seleucia. Ladies and gentlemen, storms and wars are coming in the West. My father would not allow me to settle the debt with Gawain, nor would he have turned a blind eye to our letter of 'donating all the territories to the Great Hospital,' ......" At this moment, thunder and lightning cast the darkened hall brightly, but Anna's conclusion was clearly audible, "Now that the Great Hospital has so many gifts, we will have to survive the attack of this war to enjoy it." ”

"Yes, yes, I am willing to support you with my full support." Before the widow could finish speaking, her turquoise pupils suddenly retracted, and then she frowned, covering her stomach, her expression was very embarrassed, "I, I-"

"How, did you eat a bad stomach?" Anna was surprised, thinking that the fish in today's meal was not fresh enough.

"My stomach, my stomach, is shrinking, and I'm in so much pain that I can't breathe." The widow was sweating and breathing very quickly, and she held on to the corner of the table and leaned back in her chair to the girl's screams, and the papers on the table were scattered all over the ground.

As the two maids hurried to the outer hall, Madame Chiser heard of the situation and immediately entered and said to Anna, "Please do not panic Your Highness Princess, please summon your Excellency Stauracos, the bartender, to deal with all this, for Ingrid is about to give birth." ”

"Oh, oh, okay, okay." Anna's eyes widened as she saw that Chiser had already lifted the widow up, and she kept saying yes.

"Ingrid needed a small sheltered room, a hot tub, a cloth belt, a tent, and so on." Qi Se picked up the widow who kept holding her stomach and screaming, and quickly asked for it. The little sunfish stood beside him at a loss, but Hetomia was calm, and immediately took out a bunch of keys from the cupboard, "Please follow me, ma'am." ”

When the fat eunuch had skilfully gathered the men, the female physician, and the elderly maid into the lower rooms of the Acropolis, the situation was settled, and Stuurachos, though fat and sometimes a little greedy, was adept at dealing with such a palace. Soon, Anna, who was sitting on the other side of the wall of the birthing room, heard the widow's earth-shattering screams, and her hair stood on end, and she hurriedly stood up, and came to the hollow of the wall, where Agnes and Hertomia were also lying - Madame Chesser did not allow them to help, "Inexperienced women are more troublesome." ”

"How's that, what's going on, won't you die?" Anna panicked.

Because the cry was too scary, but Anna didn't get an answer, and the two people next to her were also full of horror and nervousness, this expression could actually be seen in Hetomia, and the little sunfish's tongue was frightened again, "It's so crying, it's so crying." ”

After a while, through the light gauze curtain, Anna saw Mrs. Chiser standing up, holding a small black shadow upside down in her hand, and the black shadow and her hands were swinging around, and then she heard a crisp sound, and Chiser slapped the little black shadow on the back, and then the loud voice suddenly deafened her ears, and it was the cry of a child.

Immediately afterwards, Anna saw Chiser stretch out the little black shadow that was messing and crying, and the widow's shadow on the bed actually reached out to take it.

“...... The big barbarian is a Varyag, and so is this widow, so her and this child's physique is simply amazing, if it were me, would she pass out and go back? Anna was taken aback and thought to herself.

Mrs. Chiser came out with the hair on her forehead, a little tired, and stood in front of the washstand in the corridor on this side of the wall, washing her arms, "What blessing have you received?" The girl from the Orson family stepped forward and asked softly.

"It's a sturdy baby boy." Chiser replied with a smile, and then she looked at the purple-clothed princess who was silent, "In two days, we will return to Inglana's mansion." ”

"You don't have to be so polite, it's okay to stay here until your body recovers." Anna didn't want others to think that she was narrow-minded, and then she took a few steps forward, but she smelled the faint smell of blood on Qi Se's arm, and immediately felt dizzy, and couldn't help but retch, while covering her mouth and running out.
