Turn into Earl Lolita

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Seeing such a confident Kong Ming, Antruth sighed slightly, and could only hope that his lady would not be sad because of it.

###################

In the Northern Continent, among the lion tribe, a human envoy slowly walked out, turned his head, and looked at the still quiet lion tribe.A weird smile formed on the corner of his lips.

Then he disappeared quickly. In the hot weather, he did not return to the harbor, but continued to walk north. This time he came to the northern continent. His purpose was very simple, to pull the orcs into the water.The lion people have agreed, the werewolves have nodded, and the ogres are the only ones who follow the lead of the lion people.Only the centaur clan did not agree.It is said that after trading with the human race, they no longer need to live the days of fighting and killing.

No matter what, this time he came to the north, half of his goal was achieved, and now he was short of the last Ratman. After seeing them, this mission can be successfully concluded.

The Little Duke: Chapter 32 The Development of the Duchy

Under the clear sky, a pigeon fell from the sky and fell into the hands of Zhao Yun who was patrolling the barracks. When he returned to his tent, he took off the information tied to the pigeon's leg with plain hands, and carefully read the information written on it.

"Zi Yu, have you received the instructions from Mr. Kong Ming?"

Pulling back the curtain of the camp tent, Li Xiuning in military uniform slowly walked in from the outside. Looking at her current attire, Zhao Yun also knew that she, like herself, received pigeons when she was inspecting the barracks.

"Unexpectedly, we have been peaceful for a long time, and this is going to war again."

"It's not enough to start a war. Mr. Kong Ming just told us to train soldiers and expand the army. As for the war, even the opponent doesn't know, how could it be so simple to start a war."

Although he could smell the breath of war from inside, Zhao Yun didn't follow along, but calmed down the woman who was delighted to hear the war. At this time, she was obviously a little too excited.This is very fatal for a general, especially a general commanding troops.

Maybe it was Zhao Yun's words that made Li Xiuning feel that his mentality was not quite right at this time. After calming down a little, he said: "We have been continuously expanding our troops for a while. My armored troops already number tens of thousands. There are also hundreds of tanks, and the troop transport trucks meet the marching requirements of all troops."

It's not that Li Xiuning is boasting, but that she has been expanding her army during this period of time. After all, her lady's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and finally there is a period of time when she can develop steadily. Naturally, she will put all her energy on expanding her army.Even if it is impossible to guard all the territories with heavy troops, there must be enough soldiers to garrison some important strategic locations.

"It's similar to mine. At the beginning, you said that you hoped to mainly develop armored corps. I not only developed ordinary land corps, but also developed some mountain troops by the way."

Depending on the terrain, the needs of the troops are also different. In ordinary plain areas, the armored corps is indeed very strong, but facing the mountains, the armored corps is not so useful.But Zhao Yun is not stupid. She expanded the mountain army alone, which can be regarded as filling the shortcomings of the army.

"You think everything through. I was indeed a little negligent in this regard." Regarding her negligence, Li Xiuning readily admitted it. After all, she did not think so comprehensively about this matter.

Zhao Yun did not agree with Li Xiuning's words, but now was not the time to say such things, because Yue Yun's voice came from outside the tent.What followed was the sound of Yue Yun running in armor.

"Senior Zhao Yun, senior Zhao Yun. Ah, Senior Li is here too."

Regarding Yue Yun's arrival, Li Xiuning maintained his usual indifference, just sat quietly by the side, waiting for him to explain why he came.

"Ying Xiang, did you also come here after seeing Mr. Kong Ming's information?"

"Ah? Mr. Kong Ming's information?"

Seeing Yue Yun's bewildered appearance, Zhao Yun and Li Xiuning looked at each other in blank dismay. According to the situation, he should not be excluded.But why didn't he receive it?

"I walked here a few days ago, I guess I missed it." Yue Yun scratched his head, thinking that when he came here, he might have missed it perfectly with the carrier pigeon.

"Are you going to prepare for war? It's finally been able to develop peacefully for a period of time. Is the lady going to war with others again?"

"It hasn't been decided yet. Mr. Kong Ming just sent us a message to let us do the work of expanding our army and get ready for the next war."

The frequency of battles here is too high. They have just finished fighting the Northern Continent, and now they are preparing to fight again. If their troops do not need logistical supplies, these few wars alone are enough to drag down a country.

"The frequency of our wars is indeed a bit high, but it's good. It's not a bad thing for Miss to expand the territory." Both Zhao Yun and Yue Yun are very keen on such things as expanding the territory.And their troops do have enough strength to support the expansion of territory.

"My troops are now mainly armored troops. I have read all the books Miss showed me, and I have done my homework well. I already have tens of thousands of troops, which is enough to take down the surrounding counts. collar."

"Stop, Mr. Kong Ming didn't give orders, so you can't send troops casually."

"Zi Yu, needless to say so much, Yue Yun is not a child, he understands such things." Li Xiuning who was sitting on the chair said with her lips parted.

"Our main goal this time is to expand the army, and the troops on the northern continent are probably also expanded a lot. Their recent development is much better than ours."

Sugar refining, weaving, and smelting are all carried out there. The centaur clan provides wool, and the goblin clan provides ore, and they all use grain for exchange.But when the finished product is shipped back here, it can be sold at a high price.The price difference alone is enough for them to make a lot of money.

"General Qin wrote a letter to Lady Emily before. I was fortunate to hear from Lady Emily that the Northern Continent has gradually stabilized and the economy has developed by leaps and bounds. A large number of people are living very well. And the army , It has expanded to a scale of 10,000+ people. The number of armored vehicles has reached thousands."

Having said that, Yue Yun didn't continue talking, but looked aside at Zhao Yun who was looking at Li Xiuning in blank dismay as if thinking of something. It was obvious that the three of them thought of the same thing.

"The size of our current army seems to be enough to occupy the entire northern border. Mr. Kong Ming doesn't want us to occupy the entire northern border."

In fact, it is not just the northern border. With the size and strength of this army, it is possible to occupy most of the territory of the Fafnir Empire, but this can only be thought about.

After all, the royal family treats their own lady very well. Even if they are independent, if their own lady takes action against the royal family, it will really violate the moral bottom line of Zhao Yun and others.

"If you don't attack the Fafnir Empire, who do you want to attack? We are locked here now. I am afraid this is what those nobles who want us to be independent hope. We have been completely locked here by the Fafnir Empire. , cannot continue to expand.”

Li Xiuning thought so, but thinking about it carefully, it was wrong to think so. After all, they had already won territory in the Northern Continent, so they could completely bypass the Fafnir Empire and attack other countries from another direction.

"What exactly is Mr. Kong Ming going to do?"

"Don't think about it, just do your own thing well. As for what to do next, Mr. Kong Ming will give us news. We just need to wait quietly."

Looking at Zhao Yun who spoke softly, Li Xiuning had a quiet smile on her face, as if she was thinking about something.

The Little Duke: Chapter 33 half a year (two chapters published together)

Time always flows through people's busy fingertips inadvertently, silently.Half a year can bring about some changes in a huge country, but for Shirley, who is standing by the window at this time, looking at the light snowfall just outside the window, the changes in her territory are enough to surprise the mainland.

"Miss, this is the financial report of this year's steel output, Qin Liangyu and the others have just sent it over."

Steel, the steel factory she pulled out before, although it is not yet a real modern technology, but it is almost the same as the period when a certain big country competed with the storm for time.

That is fine steel, and these fine steels are used by her to make a lot of farm tools, and there are even more tools, such as the three-story or even four-story buildings that have been gradually built now.

"Steel also forged some weapons? Are our own weapons not enough?"

Looking at the dazzling weapons column below, Xue Li was a little curious. Their own weapons were obviously very good, but she couldn't understand why they used fine steel to make the cold weapons here.

Regarding Xue Li's question, Fuya just shook her head lightly, "Miss, I don't know very well, but since General Qin and the others have done this, they must have their own thoughts, and there are notes behind, maybe there is the answer you want. "

Blinking her eyes, she turned to the next page with her little hand, and sure enough there was a note about weapons. She quickly scanned the above content, and Xue Li nodded in satisfaction with Qin Liangyu's arrangement.

"The Northern Continent is developing very fast. Many weaker races have come to her. Although there are still enough jobs, due to the influx of a large number of people, the law and order really needs to be rectified."

It was written clearly that for the sake of law and order in the territory, she specially formed an elite sheriff unit, and the weapons used by this unit were made by them.

"General Qin has worked hard to manage the territory of so many races. Miss, can you give some rewards to General Qin and General Tachibana so that they won't..."

Don't explain the following words clearly, because talking too much will make my lady more worried. Neither of them doubts the loyalty of the two generals. It's not good to just let the other work but not reward the other.If my lady doesn't pay attention, then as her maid, it is naturally necessary to remind her.

Well, about Qin Liangyu's reward, Xueli really didn't think about it, after all, it was drawn from her own system. Although the XP of the LSP system was a bit problematic and often unreliable, but in terms of character loyalty, She can still trust it.

This creates a problem, that is, in terms of rewards for all characters, she really hasn't seriously considered it, just like when playing certain games, who will care about these things after the character's loyalty is fully modified at the beginning What about character loyalty?All the money is left for other newly recruited characters.

"Tell me, should I give them official positions, or give them gold coins."

Some people can't handle it, she can indeed give them official positions, but she really doesn't like the official positions on the mainland.The nobles who came out of the enfeoffment system are more or less out of her consideration.

But if this is not done, then a better political system is needed. With the current cultural popularity in the territory, Shirley was a little undecided for a while.

"Examination system? Nine-rank Zhongzheng system? Imperial examination system? No, no, these are all systems for selecting officials. In terms of politics, refer to the prefecture and county systems in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Sangong Jiuqing system, or the three provinces and six ministries later, the three provinces and six ministries in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Secretary, uh... my head hurts."

Thinking about it, Shirley held her forehead. There were too many choices, and without a strategy, how could she know which system was most suitable.

Slap, slapping the palm on the wall, the cute little face put on a "fierce" look, and said what he wanted to say by gritting his teeth.

"It doesn't matter, leave this matter to Kong Ming and ask him to draw up a charter for me. Let him arrange the system as well."

Although she felt it was wrong to do so, she didn't care. Anyway, she is now a duke, anyway, she now has a dukedom as her confidence, anyway, her army has developed, and she is afraid that other nobles will disagree.

"Should I leave it all to Mr. Kong Ming? This workload..."

Fuya was frightened by her own lady's behavior. The workload is not a little bit. The lady's intention is not to improve on the original basis, but to establish a new and perfect system.This took several generations to slowly explore, but in the end you let Zhuge Liang think for himself, can he not be so cruel.

"Miss, Mr. Kong Ming is only alone, and he also needs to rest."

The implication is that she admits that Zhuge Liang is very powerful, but you can't beat a person like this. Aren't you afraid of exhausting people to death?

"Well, it does make sense to say that." Thinking that the Prime Minister had dedicated himself to death, she felt a little nervous, but recently she is really a non-chief, not to mention managing talents, even suitable troops Not drawn out.

Half a year, six months, 3 chances of ten consecutive draws, she only drew three guaranteed gold cards, one of which was ten Valkyries from Norse mythology, the real thing, not the Valkyrie in some anime.It can be regarded as filling her guards.

The second one is the fairy beans cultivated by a certain cat in Dragon Ball, but the number is not many, only ten. On average, each person can get one.

And the third one is even more useless, a card, a trap card God's Proclamation (directly negates the enemy's magic attack or summoning magic), the problem is, where will she encounter magic attacks and summoning magic here.A completely useless card, even if it is a god card, so what.

The current result is that her territory is very large, but the real senior managers are supported by Zhuge Liang alone. For the others, it is estimated that only Tianquan Ningguang can help Zhuge Liang solve some economic problems.As for the newly joined Emily, diplomacy still needs to be improved.

"It seems that some new executives are needed. The previous basic officials are enough, and there is not so much shortage."

It wasn't that Xueli didn't trust Zhuge Liang, but after being reminded by Fuya, Xueli also felt that putting all the burden on Zhuge Liang was not very good for him, and it would be good if someone could help.The question is, who can help that godlike prime minister.

"Miss, let's look at other financial reports first, this matter will not be resolved in a short while."

Regarding the talent issue of my young lady, this is already an old problem. Although the territory has risen and even become a principality, the young lady's family background is really poor. In the master's family, there are some distant relatives, but most of them are ordinary. People, come here to eat, want to help the lady manage the territory?It is estimated that they all have to be chopped off by Mr. Kong Ming because of corruption.

"Well, there is less than a month left, and I still don't believe that I have been so wrong."

It's obvious that the two of them are not thinking at the same point, but it is obvious that both of them think that the other party should think about the same as themselves.

"This is the financial report of the cannery. Due to the development of animal husbandry, our canned meat this year has increased the output of canned meat. It not only meets the needs of the people in the territory, but also conducts large-scale transactions with the empire and some counties that have trade relations with us. trading."

"Well, I can see that Ningguang is indeed Ningguang. A cannery factory has been played by her, and she also built a school in Badler City. She understood my idea."

"Not only the school, Master Ningguang has also established a series of supporting measures, and even made great efforts in infrastructure construction. At the beginning, many people didn't understand, but after seeing the gold coins rushing into the account, those who originally Those who still doubt Lord Ningguang are almost becoming her dogs now."

It is said that around the highest city lord's mansion, many businessmen will wander from time to time, because it is said that Ningguang will tear the original plan into pieces and blow it out of the window. If you find a useful one, it will be Made a fortune.

How is Badler City developing now? Backed by Aalborg's technology far surpassing that of the mainland, it has now become the largest economic city in the northern region, and even the entire Fafnir Empire.

Not only has it communicated with the trade with the northern continent, but it has also conducted closer economic exchanges with the elves, and even extended to politics.

Artworks unique to the elves, as well as spices, were continuously transported from the western elven islands to the port, and then transferred to other places by merchants, and among these merchant teams, the largest ones had Ningguang's participation.

Subsequently, sugar, silk and other high-end finished products from the Northern Continent were continuously transported here, and then transferred to other noble territories.

The current Badler City is no longer just a human city. Elves, orcs, etc. all have contact with the human race in it, and even many elves choose to settle in Badler City.This is something that many human races have never done.

Sugar, textile and other industries are also developing and growing in the Northern Continent. The series of figures on the financial report are enough to drive many nobles crazy.

"Well, in general, the economy is not bad. What about agriculture? How is our agriculture? I remember that this year is the first harvest in the Northern Continent. How is the harvest?"

Hurry up and hand over the summary table on the development of agriculture to my young lady, and then said: "Agricultural development is also very good. This year, the grain harvested in the Northern Continent is enough for them to eat for three years. I have to say that the high-yield seeds you gave them Really productive."

Can it not be high-yielding? That is the most productive seed purchased from the system mall.It seems that there is not much cultivated land, but after reclamation, the farmland is far more fertile than that on the mainland.Coupled with the high-yielding seeds and the hard work of the people, the harvest this time was enough to feed them for three years.

Of course, this does not count as an increase in the population, but even so, it is already an astonishing harvest, and this is not counted, the various livestock purchased from the centaur clan can also support the meat of the people in the northern continent supply.

"Ah, not bad, our side, we can't be inferior to them."

"Miss is joking, our agricultural development is naturally no worse than that of the Northern Continent. The agricultural area divided into the southern part is enough for our people to harvest wheat for a year, not to mention that there will be another season of wheat in the future. Harvest. Moreover, the harvest of potatoes and other crops is even more astonishing. Counting the previous inventory, it will not be a problem to support us for five to six years."

"So much." Shirley couldn't imagine that she had so much food in stock, but it's not incomprehensible after thinking about it carefully. After all, most of the population in her territory are refugees who have experienced war.And the aristocratic territories occupied by war.These territories have all experienced the ravages of war, and the population is naturally inferior to those peaceful and stable noble territories.

The population is small, the arable land is large, and the output is large. After this, the grain inventory will naturally be large, but this does not make Shirley feel at ease. Food self-sufficiency is only the first step, and the follow-up is self-sufficiency in vegetables, meat, eggs, and milk.

"Miss, here is another piece of information about elves and orcs, would you like to see it?"

After reading all the financial reports, Shirley got a general idea of ​​the recent development in her territory. The economy and agriculture are almost in full bloom, and the entire territory is thriving.

She didn't care much about the military anymore. With Zhuge Liang leading Zhao Yun, Li Xiuning, Yue Yun, Qin Liangyu and other big men, and Tachibana Chiyo on the side, she didn't need to worry too much.

The only person who is a little worried now is Li Huamei who is still overseas, and it is said that there is important information that needs to be reported in person.I don't know how they are now.

"Is there anything going on with the elves and orcs?"

"It is said that in the trading port between elves and orcs, there were a large number of orcs, but they disappeared soon, and their behavior was very strange."

Are there a lot of orcs?Sitting on the sofa, she frowned slightly. She knew about the trade between orcs and elves, and the trade between the two parties had been very frequent before her arrival, but it was strange how many orcs appeared and disappeared.

"Didn't those orc ships take the orcs with them when they returned?"

"It is said that there is not. Those orcs seem to have mysteriously disappeared, and they have never appeared in the entire port."

"What did the elf say?"

"The orcs didn't negotiate with the elves on this matter. I don't think the elves know anything about it."

Having said that, Shirley's brain had a flash of light, and she wondered if the orcs were going to attack the elves, but after thinking about it, if the orcs wanted to attack the elves, they were really out of their minds. If the elves' navy cut off their retreat and supplies , their troops are all over.

Besides, what's the use of them attacking the elves?The army of the elves is no worse than them.Coupled with the blessing of the forest, they went to give away the head.

Shaking his head, he threw out the unrealistic conjectures in his mind, "Someone will investigate it, and tell the elves about this matter by the way, so that they can be more careful."

"Mistress Emily has already arranged, but the attitude of the elves..."

Looking curiously at Fuya who hesitated to speak, he finally waited for the second half of her sentence.
