Capítulo 82: 082 Loan (Part 1)_1

"A loan?"

"Yes! Use the future tax revenue of the territory as collateral to borrow from merchants. As long as the interest rate is reasonable, I believe many big chambers of commerce would be willing to help us."

The old butler frowned deeply, hesitating about Colin's decision.

In the perception of people in this world, borrowing is not something glorious.

Especially for a noble.

It's almost like declaring to everyone—I am short of money.

For the prestigious nobles, this is a very disgraceful thing.

Unless they are on the verge of bankruptcy, no noble gentleman would borrow money from others.

"Master, I fear this... this might affect the reputation of the Angler family..." the old butler advised with concern on his face.

"Reputation is illusionary." Colin waved his hand, unconcerned.

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

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