Chapter 148: Loan (II)

Collion was glad that Romon could agree so easily: "In that case, then I'll go back and prepare the funds, but, Lord Romong, we should sign a formal agreement, what do you think of this?"

Collion took two rolls of parchment from his bosom and handed them to RomΓ³n.

Luo Meng opened it and saw that it was two very clear loan agreements, estimated to be one for each person, and the name had been signed in the place where the other party signed.

Seeing that the money was 10,000 gold coins, with the territory as collateral, it would be paid off within three years, and looking up at the other party's anxious expression, Luo Meng smiled slightly: "Okay, please wait for me for a while." ”

Then, go back outside and find Nick in the office study.

"Romong, what did he say, what are the conditions?" The eyes of the internal affairs officer, who was worried about the funds, suddenly lit up.

Romon briefly explained the other party's conditions, and let Nick also take a general look. Nick hesitated: "One-tenth of the interest, it's not expensive, it's a little difficult to pay it off in three years, and it's ...... with the territory as collateral."

"I can pay it off in three years, and you can see if there are any other pitfalls. "Romon's main problem is this, although for a nobleman, the trap-like instrument can not be recognized...... But it's also a hassle.

As for paying off, to be practical, in Shennongjiao, grapes and tea, are growing very fast, and a batch can definitely be harvested in half a year, and four stubbles can be harvested in a year, which are all high-quality things, especially the tea bricks made, one or two tea bricks are equal to one or two gold, through some channels, the ten acres of tea forest can earn 10,000 gold coins.

Nick listened and looked carefully, it has been two years since he became a shopkeeper, and he has been studying the law deeply, and he has reached a considerable level, and some problems in terms can still be seen.

After looking at it for a moment, Nick said, "Other terms, no problem." ”

Seeing that Nick also agreed, Romon didn't hesitate anymore, directly picked up his seal, pressed it, and signed.

When he returned, he found Collion standing in the hall, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and nodded.

However, as long as you look closely, it is not difficult to find that although this guy is smiling perfectly, his muscles are somewhat stiff and he looks a little nervous.

It wasn't until Romon handed one of the agreements back into his hands that Collion let out a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed.

It seems that in this matter, perhaps, the person who is most worried is not Romon but the other party.

"Alright, Lord Romong, then I won't bother you, I'll go back first. "I did what I had envisioned and I was clearly in a good mood when I left.

Romon kept sending him to the gate: "Okay, wait for your good news." And Romon was clearly in a good mood.

It is under this circumstance that the cooperation between the two parties was preliminarily reached.

After a few days, Romon began a long wait, and finally, three days later, received the first huge sum of 3,000 gold coins brought by Coron.

The timely investment of this fund has also allowed the perfect implementation of Luomeng's new village renovation plan.

According to Luo Meng's plan, first of all, all the houses in the village were demolished, the roads were separated with stones, mercenaries were hired to move some wet fruit trees to the nearby hills, and finally, according to the plan, batches of neat farmhouses were built.

The farmhouses were all wooden houses, and they were given vegetable plots and fences, and these works were not large, and they were completed in only a few days, and the villagers happily went in to live there, and their confidence in the lord was greatly increased.

In the end, the same square was set aside and the lord's villa was built, and Romon even reserved the area for the later construction of the altar.

Later, there was a series of constructions such as inns, blacksmiths, mills, bakeries, etc., because it was not too far from the city, and it was adjacent to the avenue, so Romon intended to not only develop agriculture here, but also build a place where adventurers and travelers could rest, where the land was fertile, and the hills could be developed to form layers of fruit forests.

And with the gradual arrival of a sum of money from Corion, the scale of this characteristic village has finally risen.

When it was completed, Romon got up early in the morning and rode around the whole territory on horseback.

At this time, it is already the beginning of September, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, which is said to be the hottest time of the year, and the vegetation is also very lush at this time, and the territory is full of life.

"Well, Nick, you're there too!" Passing by the farmland that had been cultivated and sown, Romon went directly to the new village under the hills, and just saw Nick, the internal affairs officer, leading his men to inspect.

I have to say that when outsiders are present, Nick, a young internal affairs officer, is very serious, holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other, listening to other people's introductions with his ears pricked up, and constantly rustling records in his hands.

Seeing Romon riding over, he got rid of his work and showed a somewhat tired but excited smile: "Romong, you're here." ”

"Yes, the new village has been built, I'll come and have a look. Romon led the horse and walked over to Nick.

The others saluted him, smiled a little, and put his head on the notebook that Nick was recording in his hand, and found that it was full of detailed information and figures, and could not help but give Nick a high score again for his diligence as an interior official.

"Nick, come around with me. Romon patted him on the shoulder and said.

Nick saw that he had recorded more or less the same, so he asked the others to continue checking it, and he walked next to Romon with a small book in his hand.

"Romon is a really good idea for this village, do you think of it?" Actually, when he saw the second phase of the design of this area, Nick wanted to ask this question - it was an artificial garden area created by using the power of the druids, that is, Chinese garden art.

Romon didn't hide it either: "I thought about it." ”

"Romong, you're really amazing, I think it's going to prosper. There was excitement in Nick's voice: "I've never heard of this kind of hills and villages before. ”

Luo Meng laughed in his heart, and said in his heart, of course you will not have heard of it, this is the earth, China's unique garden culture.

"However, if you want to develop this place as soon as possible, it will take a lot of trouble, there is a shortage of manpower!" Luo Meng muttered, and he had already begun to think about whether to hire someone.

"Romong, actually, don't bother. Nick on the side said suddenly.

Luo Meng was stunned: "What?"

Nick glanced at Bai Luomeng again, and said with some hatred: "Don't you remember what I said last time? ”

Luo Meng remembered that he didn't know about the Four Great Jazz families last time, and he was a little embarrassed, and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

"It's later!" Nick sighed: "Okay, let me put it this way, your new village wants to create what you call a so-called garden, that is, so that those who rarely come into contact with nature can enjoy nature in a comfortable environment, right?"

Romon nodded: "Yes, that's what it means." ”

"Isn't that simple, if you want to spread the fame of this new village, you just need to let those nobles know! As long as a handful of nobles know, they can spread it by word of mouth, and they are afraid that the fame will not spread?" Nick said.

"Let the nobles know?"

Luo Meng was stunned, and he had already heard Nick continue: "Yes, you only need to invite the surrounding nobles to attend a banquet in the territory in the name of the lord, and that's fine, as for the leading figures in Rika Town, they are already close to here, let alone publicize it to them, even if you don't want them to know, I'm afraid it's difficult! Moreover, you have too little contact with the aristocracy, even if you focus on cultivation, for the future, you also need to maintain a good relationship with these people, so holding a banquet is a must." ”

I have to say that Nick's growth as a teenager is also rapid, and after accompanying Romon through a series of things, he has begun to gradually move towards a qualified internal affairs officer.

After listening to Nick's words, Romon also understood that what he was thinking was a little too complicated, even if it wasn't for the new village, just for socializing, Romon needed to hold a banquet as a newly named nobleman.

"Okay, then let's have a banquet and invite all the nobles from the neighborhood over. Romon agreed.

Nick quickly pulled out the pen very professionally, and then opened the notebook: "What about the specific time? approximate range of personnel, banquet location, approximate consumption range, and who you don't want to invite?"

"Forehead...... Luo Meng was a little speechless about the professional habits that the other party had developed, but he still thought about it carefully. "The specific time, it's set in a week, you set the specific date, the approximate scope of personnel, you can also set it yourself, anyone who can be invited is invited, the banquet venue, just set up in the forest house, in my villa, as for the scope of consumption, you decide, there are no people who don't want to invite...... This one...... Baron Rocas should go and deliver an invitation. ”

"Well, okay, I'll repeat it now, you listen. Nick then repeated what he had just recorded, and by the way, he also reported to Romon all the people he thought he wanted to invite, and seeing that he had no strange intentions, he said, "Since that's the case, then let's go back and prepare." ”

"Now?" asked Romon in some surprise.

Nick gave Romon a roll of the eye again: "The invitation card should be sent to the other party in advance, this banquet is going to be so big, the please post must be prepared very formally, there can be no mistakes, and the things to be prepared for the banquet must be prepared in advance, the purchases should be purchased, and the things that should be cleaned up must be cleaned up, how can it be so easy as you think." ”

"Forehead ......" was despised again, and Romon had to resign himself to his fate, and by the way, dragged Nick up. "Then let's go back quickly. ”

"Hey, Romon, you did it on purpose, don't be so fast, I'm going to fall!"

β€œ...... Really, tell you to hurry up......"
