Chapter 178

Roger looked at the President Shitou who looked reluctant.

He knew that if he took the person away like this, he could get a team of pikes, but not a team of pikes who were willing to work hard.

So Roger said in a different way about his purpose:

"President Shitou, in order to thank you for your support, I will give you a reward."

Roger saw President Shitou's face looked a little better.

He continued: "I will demolish half of the city lord's mansion. Some of the stones will be used as compensation for you.

"In addition, I want to rebuild the City Lord's Mansion. This is a long-term job, and I am going to hand it over to you."

President Shitou's face looked much better, and he said excitedly:

"Really? This is a big project."

"Yes, I can sign an agreement with you now, but I don't have money now. I have to wait until the city lord's mansion has money in the future before paying it slowly. Is it OK?"

"It's no problem. The big projects we undertake, like churches, have been built for decades.

"Where is it possible to ask people to pay the money as soon as they come up. They will pay some deposit first and then build a monthly salary."

Roger smiled and looked at President Shitou:

"You need a deposit, right? There is no need to be so implicit. I'll pay the stones. I'll take away the stones and give them to the Jewish rabbis. I'll give them all to you. If you don't have enough, then dismantle them."

So the two reached an agreement, and Roger stamped the seal with the city lord's emblem ring.

President Shitou asked the stonemason and apprentice who were practicing spears in the yard to stop and listen to Roger's lecture.

Roger hasn't developed the habit of talking nonsense as soon as he opens his mouth.

He generously sent it out with a set of iron armor each person.

Then he ordered these people to report to Rubio as heavy sergeants and receive equipment.

The stonemasons and apprentices in the yard lined up happily to set off.

President Shitou showed his decisive side. He proposed to follow Roger back to the city lord's mansion, and he said:

"I'll go to inspect the site now. Today, no matter what, I will formulate a specific plan for demolition."

Roger smiled and said, he could still see the thoughts of this seemingly honest president.

So Roger brought President Shi Tou back to the city lord's mansion together.

Roger saw the rabbi and the butler in the city lord's mansion, who looked solemn and looked like his dead father.

The housekeeper saluted Roger stiffly.

He said: "Sir, 25 years ago, after His Majesty conquered Toledo, I will be the butler here. I have been guarding the lord's mansion for 25 years, but now sir, you want...you want..."

The housekeeper's cheeks were shaking, and he swallowed, saying:

"As the butler of the city lord, I...I..."

Roger knew he could force the butler, but he didn't want to do that.

He stepped forward, stroked the butler's back, and asked softly:

"Do you have a kid?"

The housekeeper looked at Roger in confusion, but he replied:

“Yes, sir.”

Roger said in a good manner:

"Do you want your child to be an excellent person, or do you let him do nothing for the rest of his life and live a life of chaos?"

"Of course, of course I hope he is excellent. Which parent doesn't think so?"

"But it takes a price to make your child excellent. If you want to give him a good education, you have to hire an excellent teacher. Books are also very expensive, and weapons and equipment are also expensive. In short, you have to spend a lot of money, are you willing to bear it?"

"Then I can't bear to leave you. Even if I can't eat well and wear well, I'm willing to save money to give it to him."

"That's the reason. I know that you treat the city lord's mansion like your own children."

Roger turned the butler's head to one side.

"Come on, look at this place. This is left by the Arabs. This city lord's mansion was originally built by the Arabs.

"The former king Alfonso and your city lord just briefly modified it, right?

"After a thousand years later, people will see this city lord's house and they will say, 'What a bad thing, why do you live in such patched houses everywhere!'

"Did you never think this is bad?"

"Of course not, this is very bad. I mentioned it to the city lord, but he said that as long as the house can be lived in, money should not be wasted here."

Roger turned the butler's head to the other side again, making the butler's head and neck sound "Gaba".

He said: "Look at the pits there, how ugly it is. What are the evils that bed bugs have committed? How do you plan to explain to the city lord?

"Can you fill all these holes? Of course not, they are all real money and precious jewelry, you don't have that much money.

"Then will your city lord fill it in? He will say, 'It's enough to live in a house, you shouldn't waste money here.'

"So you can only look at the city lord's mansion like your child, and it's been so dilapidated."

The housekeeper cried, not knowing whether it was because of the pain in his neck or because of guilt, he said:

"I don't want it, I don't want it."

Roger straightened the butler's head, he looked straight in the other party's eyes and said:

“Now there is one chance that will change you all.

"Thut down this dilapidated old house and build a brand new one.

"Build a lord's house that can be admired by all Christians, and that can be seen by people thousands of years later with a view of worship.

"Do you want a city lord's mansion that is better than your best child?"

The butler opened his mouth wide, and he seemed to have no idea what to say.

Roger looked at him with contemptuous eyes: "You can't bear to leave, it sounds nice, you can't bear to leave it for the sake of the child."

"No! I'm willing to give up, I'm willing to give up!"

"But you know that the city lord is reluctant to let it go, you are afraid that the city lord will scold you if he does this.

"Look at this pitiful look, will he not scold you now?!"

"I can't stop it, I..."

“Now you have a way, just push these down.

"And this is my order, His Majesty's VIP, Princess Elvira's fiancée.

"You are just following my orders, and your lord cannot blame you for following my orders.

"Once the old house is knocked down, the new city lord's mansion project begins, like wood causing a ship that can never be retreated.

"Your city lord can only continue this project. And you can see with your own eyes that a beautiful city lord's mansion was born.

“Will you be excited when it’s built?”

“Yes, of course, yes…”

"Do you have the heart to see such a good opportunity slip away? Are you willing to watch the city lord's mansion continue to be ruined?"

"No, of course not."

"Then what are you still hesitating about?"

"Yes, yes, I get it! I'll do it now!"

The butler's eyes shone brightly, and he pulled the President Shi Tou and left.

The strong president was dragged by the thin butler and staggered all the way.

Roger smiled at the Jewish rabbi, who squinted his eyes and smiled at Roger, and the two of them looked at each other like two old foxes.

Roger thought that it was not that the city lord would agree to continue.

But who knows this kind of thing? Maybe the city lord actually wants to start over?

He thought that maybe this place might happen in the future, similar to the fact that the Empress Dowager Cixi used the Navy's silver to build a garden.

But what does that have to do with him? At that time, he either left early or died here long ago.

Roger knew that what he was doing now might not be authentic.
