Chapter 147: Loans (I)
On July 19, the grass was green, the flowers were fertile, the horses were galloping, and people were busy.
A team of horses suddenly came from afar, and along the way, the hooves of the horses startled countless flying insects, and finally, on the top of a hill, stopped.
"Your lord, is this your new territory?" a middle-aged merchant dismounted, and looked down with blazing eyes, the wall below was already under construction, and the house inside had not yet been demolished.
Although the farmhouses here are all dilapidated, the land is large and the land is fertile.
Romon also turned over and dismounted, looking down at the hills: "Yes, Mr. Barnel, this is my village, let me take you down to have a look." ”
"Then there's Lord Law. Barnel and several of his cronies behind him all looked around, and at the same time, there was an unconcealable envy and a little jealousy in the eyes of Romon, even Barnel was no exception, he had only transported a caravan for a month, and when he returned, he got the news.
Who would have thought that a young man who was only seventeen years old would really own such a large piece of land and become a real nobleman, which is simply a miracle!
"What if...... It would be great if I could also own such a piece of land......" The idea came to almost everyone's minds at this moment.
Immediately, though, they laughed to themselves.
Descending from the top of the hill, Romon passed by the mine again and couldn't help but stare at it.
"Lord Lord, what's wrong with you?" Walking side by side with him, Barn felt Romon's mood change keenly.
Luo Meng smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay, I just thought of some bad things, okay, let's not talk about it, let's go into the village quickly." ”
Barn looked at the place that Romon had just seen, and found that it was only a small path, so he did not go to his heart, but urged his horse, and followed Romon at his speed, and went down.
The hill was not very far from the village, not to mention that everyone was walking on horseback, so soon, they arrived at the place.
Because Romon hired them to help some time ago and paid a relatively high salary, the villagers were full of respect for Romon and kept greeting him along the way.
And Romon responded to them very naturally and peacefully, but with the lord naturally has majesty.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Barn sighed secretly again.
"Look, Mr. Barnle, I'm going to rebuild this place......" Romon walked along, pointing to some of the buildings, and kept telling Barnel about his ideas and plans.
Barn nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad." ”
"And here......"
After turning around the village, Romon said another idea of his own, that is, when the village was first built, it had a large scale, but in the process of development, there was a mining disaster, and later, part of it was destroyed, and the rest of the idea was not realized. Romon plans to renovate the village according to the original model.
"That's a good idea, I agree. Hearing Rommon's various descriptions, Barnel was really moved and immediately agreed.
"Well, I only started building the wall, and the rest of the work will be done to you. Romon said.
"Why do you want to build together?" because of the model of the original village, Barn is no stranger to this set, and his chamber of commerce can take over the entire reconstruction.
The only thing is to build it together and ...... financially Luo Meng didn't expect it for a while, he said proudly: "Build together, once the surname is completed!"
So, from the next day, the village was lively again.
All kinds of materials were pulled here by horse-drawn carts, and groups of workers also rushed here.
Except for some houses that were left for the villagers to live in temporarily, the other buildings were demolished first, and then new ones were built on the spot according to Luo Meng's sketch.
For this situation, the villagers were a little worried at first, but after visiting the original village of Luomeng, they all changed their views, and even began to look forward to the success of the transformation of this new village!
However, the phrase impulse is the devil became a true portrayal of Romon a few days later.
"Romon, what are you going to do?" In the office study, Romon sat quietly, while Nick, the internal affairs officer, walked anxiously back and forth in the room.
Luo Meng raised his eyes: "Aren't you tired of walking like this?"
"Of course I'm tired, but my heart is even more tired!" Nick threw himself at Rommon's desk in a frenzy, throwing the thick ledger in front of him. "You see, because of the renovation of this village, almost all of our past savings have been spent! You really don't know how hard it is to save money! So many gold coins and silver coins! All of them have flowed out!"
Romon also had a little pain in his head, he flipped through the account book casually, and sure enough, it was almost used.
However, there is still a big gap in funding.
"Nick, the village is only a third of the way through the transformation, and it's impossible to stop. Romon said embarrassedly.
Nick puffed up and said, "Of course I know I can't stop! What I'm worried about now is that with such a big funding gap, what will I use to plug it!"
"Huh. It was rare to see Nick angry, and Romon actually laughed.
Nick said to him: "You're still laughing! I'd have cried earlier! With such a big funding gap, if you don't think about it, it will be lively! Is the newly built village just sitting on the front for others to laugh at?"
Knowing that Nick was worried about him, Romon warmed his heart and comforted: "Don't worry, I'll find a way." ”
"Solution, what else can be done now?, sell this place?" Nick suddenly thought of this possibility, and then, staring at Romone, "You don't want to sell anything, do you?"
"Don't worry, what you sell, it won't sell yours. Seeing that he was depressed, Romon said.
However, although Romon didn't seem to be upset on the surface, in fact, he was already very embarrassed in his heart. The village has been renovated for a third of the time, but because of the original impulse, it has caused the current result. Now it is a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it can only be carried on, and there is absolutely no turning back.
But where should he find the money to make up for it? Barnel already owes a lot of money, and Barnel can't afford to take such a big risk again.
Besides, they are also medium-sized chambers of commerce in small towns, and their funds are not very large.
Just when he was embarrassed, the bell suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "My lord, someone is looking for you outside, do you see me?"
"Someone is looking for me?" If it was someone in the territory, the bell would never ask that, so Romon suddenly became curious.
The bell said, "It's a man named Collion, and this is his prayer." As he spoke, he handed something similar to a business card on Earth to Romon.
Romon picked it up and looked at it: "Corion?
"Caravan?" Nick on the side listened, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "What is he here to do?"
Luo Meng said: "Let him in, it's not all clear." ”
Then he said to the bell, "Let him come in, and bring him to the hall, and I'll be there in a moment." ”
Because at this time, Romon was already the lord of a place and a real nobleman, so if the commoners wanted to see him, unless they were acquaintances, they had to report it, and Romon could no longer go out to greet him as before.
No way, this is the rule of this world, if he doesn't abide by it, then, the person who is greeted by him, not only will not feel that he is enthusiastic, but will only feel incomprehensible.
"Yes, sir. "I didn't think there was anything wrong with what Romon did, and the bell took the order.
"Are you coming with me?" Romon asked, turning his head, to Nick.
Nick smiled wryly and pointed to the stack of papers that needed to be processed next to him. "Do you think I have time to go?"
"Forehead......" Luo Meng faced the other party's somewhat complaining gaze, he could only pretend not to see it, and laughed dryly: "Then I'll go first." ”
"This lazy fellow. Seeing Romon walk out, Nick shook his head a little amusedly, and then continued to bury his head in the thick papers.
The office study is not very far from the hall, through a passageway. When Romon walked in, a man stood up inside and said very respectfully, "It's an honor to meet you, Lord Lord." ”
It only took Luo Meng less than a second to sweep the whole body of the person who came over, and understood the other party's appearance and temperament clearly.
The person who came was a man of medium stature, not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, and very popular, but his eyes shone with wisdom.
"This is a very intelligent and cultured person. Romon commented on the other party in his heart.
"Hello, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Collion, please be seated. ”
When both of them sat down, the bell picked up two cups of tea, put them on both of them, and then withdrew with interest.
"Tell me what's going on with me. Romon is not a man who likes to beat around the bush, so, just ask.
The man was also very happy, so he told him that his caravan wanted to cooperate with Romon and lend money to Romong: "Your Excellency, we are a Shaya trading house, mainly engaged in currency exchange, and recently, we have opened a new place deposit and loan obligation, and when we heard that you have built a new territory, we are not invited.
As he spoke, Collion noticed his countenance.
"This, are there any conditions?" Romon was happy in his heart, but he still asked, as for the new project that Collion said, he disdained it, isn't it a bank, who is surprised?
Instead of seeing the expected surprise and doubts, Collion was surprised in his heart, but out of professional cultivation, he still smiled and said: "That's the case, the current loan business is not very popular here, I want to make this business famous through the cooperation with Lord Lord." ”
"Well, in that case, I agree to cooperate with you, and I hope we can have a good time working together. When Romon heard this, he no longer hesitated and agreed.
