I am reborn as a lord in Rome

Woolley woke up quickly—Salace had just finished cleaning his wounds when he woke up.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, Salis shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Lord Woolley, your will is so strong that it shocks me, if it weren't for that, how could you support you for so long with such a serious injury." "

Am I badly hurt?" a smile appeared on Woolley's face, pale from tiredness and pain.

"Of course, you were hit by an arrow in the chest, and although the wound was shallow, the tip of the arrow should have broken your sternum, otherwise it wouldn't have caused you so much trouble. Salace said as he prepared the bandage, "El said, this arrow in you was originally aimed at her, I don't understand it a little, you ...... Do you like her very much?"

is normal for Sarres to be incomprehensible, and the difference in status between Woolley and El is a chasm - if Woolley favors Eyre, it is definitely condescending.

But under such a gap, Woolley actually risked his life to block the arrow for her, and there seemed to be a lot of things to taste.

"It's just a knee-jerk move, if it wasn't El but you at the time, I would have done the same. Woolley replied that his liking and liking for El did not go beyond the scope of master and servant, or rather, he had only been interested in Tina and Helen since he came to this world, but now that Tina was a thing of the past, Woolley chose to distance himself from Tina after knowing that Tina was being dragged by Lady Leah to socialize with the lieutenant general of Seneca's garrison.

For some reason, Sales was stunned when he heard Woolley's answer, and a trace of blush immediately appeared on his cheeks: "Okay, what you do is always unexpected, I'll bandage you first, the wound doesn't bleed too much, but the bone crack is not so easy to heal, so you should stay in bed for this time."

"It's not going to work. Wu Lai shook his head slightly, "It's a big deal to exercise less, there are so many things in the town, I don't dare to be so squeamish." "

Raise your arm. Salace said as he bandaged Woolley, "You can leave the affairs of Salt Marsh to someone else, you are the archon, you don't have to do everything yourself, you just need to keep track of the progress in time."

Woolly nodded: "Your opinion, I will seriously consider it."

"I hope so. Salis said with a smile, although he had only known Woolley for two days, he also had a certain degree of understanding of Woolley's character, and knew that if this guy was obediently in bed, it would be called abnormal.

Sure enough, after only a short nap after the bandaging stopped, Woolley got up, and after trying to stretch a little, he found that the injury did not have much impact on the body, so he ignored Eyre's prevention and went out for a walk.

Because El knew that there were only two people in Salt Marsh Town at this time who could stop Woolley from being "so stupid".

Wu Lai walked slowly, Ma Long followed two steps to his right with his armor and sword, the road outside the official residence was originally not many people, and the open space just demolished in the east of the town was busy slaughtering horses and dividing meat, and the townspeople basically went there to join in the fun, so the street became empty.

"Marlon, have the three dead brothers been settled?" asked Woolley.

Ma Long's heart was shocked, because the title given by Wu Lai turned out to be "brother", this title made him dazed for a moment, and then quickly replied: "It has been settled, and the other brothers of the guard buried them in the public recruitment area outside the town that you demarcated, and also set up a sign."

Woolly nodded: "Then I'll rest assured, Marlon, I will give them the glory they deserve." "

Master......" Malone suddenly choked up.

Wu Lai sighed silently, of course he knew how deep Ma Long's relationship with the members of the escort was, but there was no reason to be immortal in a war.

"Let's go, let's go to the east end of town. Woolley gently pressed the bandage on the wound, smiled slightly, and said.

"Yes, master. Malone hurriedly wiped away his tears and nodded, in fact, he no longer had to call Woolley Master, because Woolley had given him freedom when he was in Seneca, and he had tried to call Woolley "Young Master" like everyone else, but at this moment Malone felt that no title could show his respect for Woolley more than "master".

The open space east of the town was already overcrowded at this time, but because Baker and his hundred town stewards were present, it was in good order—

Baker, still with a thick bandage on his head, sat on a high platform, and four of the town's cronies stood beside him, and his eyes were half-closed and half-open, and it seemed that he was smiling, so that it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Twelve cauldrons have been erected in front of the high platform, and the firewood under the cauldron is crackling, constantly rising flames licking the dark bottom of the pot, and the soup in each cauldron is boiling, and pieces of fist-sized horse meat are tumbling and looming in the soup, making the whole open space diffuse with a faint smell of meat......

At the end of the right side of the clearing was the place where the horses were slaughtered, and fifty or sixty young men were busy there, and after they had dragged the horses to be slaughtered to the improvised stakes, they would blindfold them with a very dirty cloth, and then a machete would cut off the ...... of the horses' necks

Skinning, slicing the meat, and then throwing the bloody meat in the basket, and then carrying the full basket to the cauldron in a cart - this is the cycle of their tasks, and of course not all horses need to be slaughtered, after all, the meat of dead horses also needs to be boiled and distributed.

There was a long line in front of each cauldron, and the townspeople, young and old, waited with joy with bowls and baskets—for the first time in the history of Salt Marsh, meat was distributed.

Because the prosperity has withered for a long time, coupled with the reason that the land in this area is barren and the vegetation is rare, the meat in the salt marsh town has been in short supply, and it basically depends on the transportation of other towns, and the small nobles are okay, and the surrounding good land is theirs, and a small amount of breeding can still be realized, plus they can get some income from the salt field every year, and every once in a while they will send people to send cars to other villages and towns and even Lunvington City to purchase a batch back, naturally there will be no shortage.

But ordinary townspeople don't have these conditions, so meat is rarely seen on the usual table, and even if there is, it is very little, purely for gluttony, but it is difficult to have a full meal.

But today is different, Wu Lai waved his hand, a total of 156 injured horses and dead horses were all turned into a bowl of Chinese food for the townspeople, after peeling the skin and removing the bones, each of them could still have an average of 400 catties of meat, and 50,000 or 60,000 catties of meat were sprinkled according to the head, which can make people excited to think about.

Don't look at Baker sitting on the high platform with a swaggering attitude, watching the six roads and listening to the eight directions, it was not delayed, Woolley and Malone just turned the corner and came to the end of the clearing, Baker stood up with a "poof" and greeted him.

"Lord Woolley, why are you here, you are injured and tired for the safety of Salt Marsh Town, why should you rest and rest at this time, otherwise, I and the townspeople will be worried. Baker was waist-waisted, regardless of the fact that he was more than fifty years old and had a gap of more than thirty years with Woolley, and when he stretched out his hand, he actually grabbed Woolley's arm.

Woolley smiled slightly, and let him hold it, because although Baker's flattery was a bit excessive, his performance in recent times was still very satisfactory to Woolley, so he didn't mind Baker's flattery, and at the same time, he also knew that Baker was putting on a show to the townspeople, in order to consolidate his prestige as a civilian tribune - look, I am so close to Lord Woolley......

"Lord Woolley, I have chosen twenty horses to be slaughtered at my own discretion, and I intend to use six of them as a reward for the Protectors, four as a reward for the Governor, and ten for your lordship to reward these brothers, oh, and El, who also participated in the defense. Baker lowered his voice and said, pointed his hand at Malone, and threw a smile to Malone-of course, Baker, who is familiar with the conversation, knows that befriending Woolley is not just about being with Woolley.

"You're very thoughtful, and I agree with you. Wu Lai nodded, "Also, you must take advantage of the meat to rearrange

the household registration, understand?" "Lord Wu Lai, don't worry, I have arranged it according to your instructions, there are two attendants waiting next to each cauldron, one to register, and all the gender, age, and name are remembered, and when the meat is finished, I will let the servants fight at night, and strive to make a new household registration book for you tomorrow." Baker said.

Woolley smiled and nodded, although Baker was sick, his execution ability was really good.

After chatting a few more words, Woolley dispelled the idea of going to the meat pot to have a look, because it was somewhat disturbing to the people, and when he left, Woolley threw a word to Baker: "Let the idle duty inform everyone that the meeting will be held tonight." Baker

was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, Lord Woolley, you are addicted to meetings.

After dinner, the courtyard of the consul's residence was filled with people again—in addition to the officials and servants, there were also minor nobles and six representatives of the townspeople.

This was the first meeting attended by the representatives of the townspeople, these six representatives were the commoners appointed by Woolley and instructed Lauren to invite, all of them were respected and well-known old men in the town of Salt Marsh, but now they were as restrained and uneasy as children meeting strangers, for these six had been happy to the end of their lives, and it was the first time they had sat with so many officials and nobles.

The layout of the venue was the same as always, a set of desks and chairs at the front served as a podium, and there were several rows of chairs facing the podium, with officials sitting in the first row, small nobles sitting in the second row, and servants and townspeople representatives sitting in the third, fourth, and fifth rows.

To Baker's surprise, Tours actually came to attend.

Salres's healing medicine worked well, and by the time Woolley walked to the pulpit and sat down, his face was much better than in the afternoon.

After glancing at everyone, Wu Lai spoke: "Today's temporary meeting is mainly to arrange some things that need to be done next, and in addition, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you." "

Discuss?" Baker's mind was alive, and he said in his heart that it wouldn't be to discuss Bill's position as tribune, so just adjust it to me, Lord Woolley

? Discussion? Woolley Green, what are you trying to do? Turce frowned, if it weren't for knowing that Bill was captured and worried about what would happen, he wouldn't have come here to join in the fun.

"First of all, let's talk about the disposal of the corpses of the bandits, with the current weather, the corpses of these more than 300 bandits will soon decompose, so from tonight to tomorrow morning, all these corpses must be cremated, and the bones must be buried in a certain place, otherwise it is difficult to say that it will not cause a plague. Wu Lai knocked on the table to remind, "We have learned from the past, this matter is the collective responsibility of each bureau, and it must be implemented before tomorrow morning."

"The second thing, judging from the defensive situation this time, our defensive reserves are still a little insufficient, especially the lack of protection for the quarrying team and the water transportation team, so the selection and training of new personnel must also be done quickly, and the town managers must not be allowed to do these things, right? Beck, you are responsible for this matter.

"The third thing, there are five months left between now and the end of the year, and in these five months, I plan to organize all the townspeople to participate in military training in batches, Ellet, and you are in charge of this. "

Fourth, the construction of the temple, in a few days, the construction personnel recruited by the Gruul from Levington should arrive, and all the drawings are ready, so, Priest of Pompeii, I will trouble you about this, can

I?" "No problem, it is my honor to share the worries of Lord Woolley. Pompey smiled and nodded.

"I hope everyone will do their part, if there is any difficulty, tell me in time, I will definitely find a way to solve it. After Wu Lai finished speaking, he glanced at Tours and said with a smile, "Although the production of the salt works is not under the control of the town, I still hope that the salt production officer of Tours can overcome the existing difficulties and strive not to let the production decline.

"I'll fight for it. After Tours squeezed out a slightly embarrassed smile, his heart immediately became annoyed, and he said in his heart, how can I echo Woolly Green's words, yes, that's right, you have a share in the output of the salt works now, but how much can you decide?

"Okay, now let's talk about the discussion, in today's defensive battle, Bill the Tribune ......" Woolley said briefly about Bill's collusion with the bandits, " The stakes are high, and I think about it, Bill is not fit to be tried in Salt Marsh, so I plan to hand him over, but I can't make up my mind whether to hand him over to Lincington or escort him directly to Assyria, it is said that giving him to Lincington is the first choice, but I am afraid that someone will protect Bill and help him get rid of his guilt and send him to Assyria, the road is too far away, in case something goes wrong along the way......

" "Lord Woolley, why don't you just interrogate him in Salt Marsh Town first. Baker didn't have a good impression of Bill at all, and this time when he heard that Bill was actually a traitor to lure a wolf into the house, how could he be polite.

"No, let's be clear, Bill has a bit of a background, and I don't want to mess with it. Woolley spread his hands, "That's why I want to hear everyone's opinions." "

Lord Woolley, I suggest that he be escorted to the city of Assyria, this Bill was originally assigned by Lendington, and I am afraid that it will not please him. Pompeii said.

"Lord Woolley, I have the same thoughts as the priests of Pompeii. Salis smiled and said.

Tours' heart sank suddenly......
