"Borrowing?"

"Yes! Use the future tax of the territory as collateral to borrow from merchants. As long as the interest is appropriate, I believe there will be a lot of Great Chamber of Commerce I am willing to help us."

Old Steward frowned deeply, hesitating about Colin's decision.

In the perception of this World, borrowing is not a glorious thing.

Especially for a nobleman.

This is almost an announcement to everyone-I am short of money.

For aristocrats who value fame, this is a very shameful thing.

Unless it’s the critical moment of bankruptcy, no aristocratic master will borrow money from someone.

"Master, this...this might affect the reputation of the Anglia family..." old steward persuaded with worry.

"Fame is imaginary." Colin waved his hand in a nonchalant manner.

For a traveler like him, borrowing money for development is really a matter of course.

Actually, those nobles who would rather die than borrow are the real fools in Colin's eyes.

It is a smart thing to use other people's money to develop one's own strength.

Even if the worst happens, when the time comes, the loan will not be repaid, but as long as the Anglia family's army develops smoothly, is it still afraid of people coming to collect the debt?

"Okay, I have decided. Tomorrow you will release the news, when the time comes, we will organize a rally and invite some powerful Chamber of Commerce to discuss the details of lending."

"Yes, sir." Seeing Colin's heart was set, Emon didn't dare to talk any more.

2nd day, when the news that the Viscount Anglia was about to borrow money was released, a crowd of businessmen rushed to Ice Rock City like sharks smelling blood.

Just as these businessmen were gearing up to grab this order, a businessperson came to the Red Fort first and asked to see Viscount Anglia.

In the beginning, Colin was not planning to meet any businessman alone.

In his opinion, only by bringing these businessmen together and letting them compete can he get the best loan terms.

However, when the attendant told him that it was Oliver from the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, Colin still agreed to his request.

After all, it is an old acquaintance, and although Oliver offended Colin, he later apologized very sincerely.

In Colin's view, this is a person who knows how to measure and can do things.

"Dear Viscount, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to see me! I feel extremely honored!"

This chubby businessman is still flattering As soon as he saw Colin's smiling face, he immediately bends his waist to ninety degrees, with an extremely respectful attitude.

"Okay, Oliver, you don’t have to be polite with me. I also know what you want. Let’s talk about your Tulip Chamber of Commerce conditions. If it’s suitable, I don’t mind watching it. For the sake of the old acquaintance, borrow from you."

Oliver laughed and said, "My Lord Viscount, please rest assured. Based on our old friendship, our Tulip Chamber of Commerce will definitely give you the best Loan terms.

However, before that, please allow me to give you a gift first. As a celebration of your being awarded the Viscount."

"Gift?" Colin was suddenly intrigued. Smiled.

He remembered the last time the fatty merchant gave him a gift of armor in exchange for his forgiveness.

What is the gift this time for?

One thing Colin is convinced, Oliver's gift is definitely not what he said, but to celebrate his promotion to Viscount.

This is simply bribery.

"What gift?"

Colin sneered in his heart.

If Oliver thought that a small gift would allow him to send this large loan order to the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, then he would be underestimated.

Oliver beckons with the hand behind him.

The two servants came up with a big box.

The box opened, and a breathtaking frosty breath assaults the senses.

That turned out to be a set of enchanted armor.

And it's the one that Colin once asked for the price, but couldn't afford it!

"I remember, the price of this enchanted armor is 50,000 Gold Coin, right?"

"Yes, Master Viscount."

" Are you sure to give it to me like this? Let me make it clear first, even if I accept your armor and loan, I will not necessarily take care of you Tulip Chamber of Commerce."

"Of course, Viscount My lord. This armor is just a celebration of your promotion to Viscount. It has no other meaning. It has nothing to do with the loan."

Colin suddenly became puzzled.

There is no free lunch in the world.

He has always believed in this sentence.

Oliver gave him such a gift, how could it be impossible for him to ask for anything.

Be aware that 50,000 Gold Coin is definitely not a small amount.

When the Anglia family was Baron, the entire Baron's tax revenue for a whole year was only three thousand Gold Coins.

Even if you are now a Viscount and your territory has expanded several times, Colin estimates that the entire Viscount’s annual income will not exceed 30,000 Gold Coins.

"Just tell me, who gave this gift?" Colin didn't believe that Oliver, a Chamber of Commerce steward, had the right to decide this matter.

Like the person behind the Tulip Chamber of Commerce, Colin suddenly realized something.

Oliver also reduced his smile at this time, and his tone became solemn: "My Lord Viscount, let me tell you, this gift was personally decided by our Chamber of Commerce president to give it to you."

"Who is your president?"

When he heard this question, Oliver didn't answer immediately, but looked all around with a mysterious look.

Colin waved his hand and ordered the surrounding attendants: "You all go down."

When only Colin and Oliver are left in the lobby, the fatty merchant will do it again. opened the mouth and said: "My Lord Viscount, the president of our Tulip Chamber of Commerce, is Ms. Penny."

"Ms. Penny?" Colin thought for a while before finally finding one in his memory The corresponding name.

Isn't this the biological mother of Colin's brother-in-law who is still unknown whereabouts, or Count Uman's lover?

Colin suddenly became vigilant: "Why did Ms. Penny give me such a gift?"

Oliver leaned over and lowered his head: "This is the lady's apology to you."

"What do you mean?" Colin narrowed his eyes.

"Knight Varla has returned to Falling Eagle City smoothly, but after all, he had fought with your father, but he failed to protect Lord Baron. Therefore, Ms. Penny is her son. I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you."

When I heard that my long-lost brother-in-law suddenly appeared in Falling Eagle City, Colin's eyes began to flash with dangerous rays of light.

He tried his best to keep his anger from showing, lightly asked: "How is Knight Varla? Where did he go before?"

"Master Knight, everything is fine He was captured by troll in the previous battle. Later, after the Black Cavalry caught up with the troll army, he was thrown on the ice sheet by troll together with other human captives. Fortunately, Lord of Radiance blessed him, after suffering untold hardships, he Back to the north again."
