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 looked good.

Also brought with them are leather shoes, belts, ties and civilized sticks. After putting them on, they look like locals.

Baron Turgot soon discovered the benefits of the clothes of the Duke of Wesson. They were easy to wear and easy to take care of, and he could save a lot of time spent on getting dressed every day.

His servant also put on new clothes, wearing a black striped suit and carrying a briefcase to store 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 Dafranche had 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, with a spoonful of red tomato sauce, and a cup of yogurt when eating.

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, and their shirts were stretched tight by their muscles. One of them is very 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 Can't die."

The shortest young man among the three said to him: "Boss, don't worry, we will come back alive."

Another also gave assurances.

Baron Turgot was a little frightened, thinking that he might have eavesdropped on military secrets and might 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.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Turgot?" Spike's authentic Old Constantine accent in Puran surprised Baron Turgot. Very few nobles in the Kingdom of Gaul could speak Puran so well. "Da Franche told me before going to Amstel that you wanted to visit my chicken farm."

For a moment, Baron Turgot could not equate the young man in front of him, who was more than two meters tall and with muscles stronger than those of His Majesty Louis' bodyguard, with a farmer who raised chickens.

Spike thought Olive had recognized the wrong person, and just when he was about to apologize, Baron Turgot said: "I am Turgo, and you are Spike. I thought you were some knight."

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 right 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 fresh sitting in the canvas-shell van. He asked to sit in the passenger seat and watch carefully 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'm a retired soldier. I got a discount when buying a car, and I took out an interest-free loan for five years. Now I owe money every day when I wake up." "But I owe a lot, and the money for this car is still small. "

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, which saves money on fodder."

Baron Turgot had a reasonable idea. He had two horses at home, and it cost a lot of money to hire a groom and fodder. He had to travel suddenly several times, but the horses were not fed today.

He was concerned about something he heard just now, so he asked: "Do you owe a lot of money?"

"Yes." Spike nodded, "It costs money to rent a chicken farm, it costs money to hire people, it costs money to build a chicken coop, it costs money to buy eggs, it costs money to buy feed and medicine, it costs money to hire university professors, You need money from the disinfection company, you have to pay taxes, you have to pay for 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, so the interest rate is not low."

"Hahahaha!" Spike laughed, "I am a retired soldier. During the Battle of the Trade Route, our platoon captured many nobles alive and received first-class collective merit and second-class individual merit. Last winter, I won the honor of informing the commander. With first-class personal merit, the interest-free loan amount is very high.”

"In addition, I am an orphan who came here with the victims of the disaster. The loan is a targeted loan, and the interest-free limit is higher."

"So the total loan interest for my chicken farm is very low, almost only the principal is repaid."

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, and 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 this land at the foot of the mountain, which is not suitable for farming. It is good for building a chicken farm.

Baron Turgot was very interested in such farmland and wanted to come and see it when he had time.

A large green wall appeared not far ahead. Spike said, "We're 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 and is 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 much?"
