18 O Six - A Critical Year for Rothschild

18 o six would prove to be a critical year for rothschild in other ways too. The holy roman empire was finally dissolved, and frankfort's status as a free imperial city was rendered null and void. Smuggling was rampant; one of those people who helped smuggle goods was none other than mayor rothschild. And things that would bankrupt a lesser banker actually end up making rothschild even richer. But remember, he had already committed to managing wilhelm's money, which he is managing by keeping it away from the french authorities.
