Chapter 504 People here like to lend money without interest
The tailor sent a dark brown suit. After putting it on, Baron Turgot looked at it in front of the full-length mirror and thought it was pretty good.
I also came with leather shoes, belts, ties and civilized sticks. After putting them on, I looked like the locals.
Baron Turgot quickly discovered the benefits of Wesson's clothes. They are easy to wear and easy to take care of, and can save a lot of time spent on getting dressed every day.
His servant also put on new clothes, a black striped suit, and held a briefcase to hold some things.
In recent years, in order to distinguish the identities of characters in dramas and operas, servants and attendants wear striped suits and maid skirts, which has affected real life.
Baron Turgot called a tricycle and went to the barbecue restaurant where Da Franche delivered oysters to the proprietress that day, and ordered an "Emperor's Set Meal".
This is Fatih’s favorite way to eat it. The barbecue is cut from the meat column and mixed with shredded vegetables. It is placed on the cut bread and a spoonful of red tomato sauce is added when eating. Another cup of yogurt.
After trying it, Baron Turgot felt that the barbecue here was quite good. No wonder the emperor of the Ghazi Empire liked it.
He looked around at this small shop. There was no one there now. Except for his own table and the table in the corner, there were three young men under the age of twenty. They were all strong and muscular. The shirts were stretched out tightly, and one of them was extremely tall.
Curious, Baron Turgot pricked up his ears to listen to their conversation. The very tall young man said to the other two: "You two followed the platoon leader to the new unit. You should work hard and be smart. Don't think that you are really "You can't die."
The shortest young man among the three said to him: "Boss, don't worry, we will come back alive."
The other one also made a promise. .
Baron Turgot was a little frightened, wondering if he might have eavesdropped on military secrets and might he be caught.
But he quickly comforted himself that I was just here to eat barbecue, and the secret slipped into my ears.
When Baron Turgot finished eating, Olive cut a large plate of barbecue and brought it over, and said a few words in the big man's ear.
Baron Turgot suddenly felt his eyes darken. It turned out that the big man came to his table.
“Is your Excellency Mr. Turgot?” Spike’s authentic Old Constantine accent in Puran surprised Baron Turgot. Very few nobles in the Kingdom of Gaul could speak Putian. Lan Yu said it so well, "Da Franche told me before going to Amstel that you wanted to visit my chicken farm."
Baron Turgot was unable to do so for a while. The young man in front of him, who is more than two meters tall and has muscles stronger than those of His Majesty Louis' bodyguard, is equated with a chicken farmer.
Spike thought Olive had recognized the wrong person. Just when he was about to apologize, Baron Turgot said: "I am Turgot, and you are Spike. I thought you were some knight."< br>
Spike replied: "I served in the army for three years and was discharged two months and fifteen days ago."
"I happen to be going back to the chicken farm now. Are you free to go with me?" ”
Baron Turgot is naturally free.
He was about to call a car, but Spike said he had a car.
“How much does your car cost?” Baron Turgot felt very new sitting in the canvas-shell van. He asked to sit in the passenger seat and carefully watched how Spike drove.
Spike said with a smile: "The market price of this car is 200 florins. It can carry people and pull almost a ton of cargo."
"I am a retired soldier, and I have a discount when buying a car. I got an interest-free loan for five years, and now I owe money every day when I wake up. "But I owe more, but the money for this car is still less."
Baron Turgot took a breath and said in surprise: "With so many, you can buy two first-class war horses in the Kingdom of Gaul. If the strong draft horses used for ordinary hauling are enough to buy nearly a hundred horses, is it worth it? "
Spike said: "It's worth it. It's much easier to take care of than a horse. You don't have to spend time feeding grass and sleeping. You can use it whenever you want."
"You don't have to worry about getting sick like a horse. I can fix ordinary minor problems myself."
"The wind magic crystal used in the car can be charged by itself, saving money on fodder."
Duer It makes sense for the Baron to think about it. He has two horses at home. Hiring a groom and fodder costs a lot of money. He has to travel suddenly several times, but the horses haven't been fed today.
He was concerned about something he heard just now, so he asked: "Do you owe a lot of money?"
"Yes." Spike nodded, "The rent for the chicken farm is Money, it costs money to hire people, it costs money to build chicken coops, it costs money to buy eggs, it costs money to buy feed and medicine, it costs money to hire university professors, it costs money to find disinfection companies, it costs money to pay taxes, it costs money to do everything.”
At this moment, Baron Turgot was a little confused. He had never seen chickens raised on his own farm. They just grazed on the grass during the day and rushed home at night. How could there be so many places that required money?
He asked again: "Then you borrowed so much money, the interest rate is not low."
"Hahahaha!" Spike laughed, "I am a retired soldier, businessman During the Battle of Lu, our platoon won first-class collective merit and second-class individual merit for capturing many nobles alive. Last winter, we won first-class individual merit for informing the commander. The amount of the interest-free loan was very high.”
"In addition, I am an orphan who came here with the disaster victims, and I got a targeted loan, and the interest-free limit is higher."
"So the total loan interest for my chicken farm is very low, almost It’s just the principal repayment.”
Baron Turgot was even more shocked now. It was common for nobles to lend money. He had made several loans, but he had never heard of such a thing as interest-free loans.
He couldn't figure it out for a while, why did Archduke Wesson offer this kind of loan discount? Did he think he had too much money?
Spike doesn’t understand either. Anyway, he believes that the commander has his own reasons for doing this. No one can beat him in terms of making money.
Baron Turgot suddenly thought that Branimir and others lent money to Da Franche that day. It should be regarded as an interest-free loan. Do the rich people in the Duchy of Wesson like to do this?
Spike's chicken farm is on the south side of the canal. Cross the bridge over the canal and go south, passing through a large field of farmland and reaching the foot of the mountain.
A large piece of land here was also divided by Frederick into plots the size of a football field. Like the east side of Weissenburg City, it was used to grow fruits and vegetables, mainly supplying Oak City.
There are a lot of rocks in the land at the foot of the mountain, which is not suitable for farming. It is good for building a chicken farm.
Baron Turgot is very interested in such farmland and wants to come and see it when he has time.
A large green wall appeared not far ahead. Spike said: "We are almost there. The thorn wall in front was specially planted to prevent wild beasts from stealing chickens in the mountains. It surrounds the chicken farm. , three meters thick."
Baron Turgot saw that the wall was more than a hundred meters long, and the area inside should be quite large, so he asked: "How many chickens do you raise?"
Spike replied: "About ten thousand."
Baron Turgot: "How many?"
