Turn into Earl Lolita

Especially when she saw the man who gave her information with a bruised nose and a swollen face after being beaten, she already knew why she was exposed. The only luck was that when she bought information from them, she covered her face and would not There is a danger of being discovered for his true colors.

With a light tiptoe, his figure is like a soaring white crane, moving continuously, and rushing towards the outside at high speed.But at this moment, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, hitting Rias' galloping figure heavily.The black veil of the mask was then stained with the red of blood.

"Magician? You actually have a magician?"

Not only Rias was surprised, but Shirley was also very surprised. She was naturally wary of magicians. Her father was killed by magicians, but she still hasn't found any relevant clues.

Although Earl Wood gave her some materials later, most of them have no real evidence. The country with the strongest magicians on the mainland is the Saint Leadman Empire, which has thousands of magicians of different levels, and it is possible to assassinate her father. To be honest, there are not many Tier [-] fighters.

At this time, she unexpectedly met a magician here, who was also a member of a nobleman, which made Shirley couldn't help but look at the elderly Duke.

"Yes, magician, since I know that the famous Black Butterfly is going to visit me, how could I not prepare in advance? Don't worry, I will give you an even bigger surprise later on."

Lias, who was struck by lightning, was also a little sluggish at this time, but even so, her eyes were still scanning her surroundings, looking for a suitable place to break out.

"Oh, don't try to run away again. I have prepared a huge net here for you. I advise you to catch it with nothing."

Finding that the other party was still unwilling to give up, the Duke of Belize was like a cat that caught a mouse at this time.teasing his prey.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 42 people, I took it away (two chapters published together)

Opening the window, the cold wind poured in from the outside, making Lias shiver uncontrollably. Even though it was late spring and early summer, the weather in the morning would still bring chills.

"I said, you are living a comfortable life, so you are not afraid that I will have you hung up as a street lamp?"

At the door, a petite girl was leaning against the door frame, with a teasing tone that made people think that she would really do what she said, and of course she would not do so.

"Will you do that? If you would, you wouldn't have tried to bring me out yesterday."

Last night was perhaps the most dangerous time for her. Under heavy siege, without any shelter, she had no room to escape at all.

She is just a quick-moving thief, not a powerful strongman. At the moment when the last trump card, the invisibility ring, failed, she was doomed to be caught by the nobles.

I especially remember that when she was using the invisibility ring and was about to leave invisibly, she found that the nobles used the anti-magic scrolls in order to catch her. It was the anti-magic scrolls, the magic scrolls, and a scroll was equivalent to an ordinary nobleman. A few years of income, but this is not necessarily able to buy.

Desperate, Lias is really desperate. When she saw the soldiers around her step by step and the smirks in the eyes of the nobles, she finally understood that in the eyes of those rich nobles, she was just a casual Let's talk, once the border is reached, then they will have more ways to find themselves.catch yourself.

But it is too late to understand now, what will happen if she is caught by the nobles, she knows too well, or in other words, she should have been prepared for a long time, but when the real thing came to an end, she realized that she was really not as good as she imagined. strong.

"Sophia, do it."

The crisp sound was made by the dagger being hit to the ground by a long sword. Was death a luxury at this time?Looking at the expressionless beautiful woman in front of her, she knew that she had been by Shirley's side when she was serving porridge for refugees in Aalborg.Sure enough, that girl was no different from those nobles, but she might not know what kind of ending she would face when she was caught.

"Master Duke of Belize, is this black butterfly a gift from you? I really like it."

One sentence made the nobles around who had already started thinking about how to divide the black butterfly after they caught the black butterfly bewildered. When will this be given to her?Didn't you agree that we all went together?Besides, what do you, a little girl, want Heidi to do.

Look at the beautiful curves under the tights. Even if you can't see your face, you can earn money by using it only once, not to mention the thief who always brings trouble to them and embarrasses the nobles.

"Huh? Did I misunderstand? Lord Belize, you asked me to come over and said to give me a surprise, isn't it Black Butterfly?"

Tilting her head, with an innocent face, she blinked her big eyes like the pupils of autumn water, but Sophia who was near the black butterfly seemed to have been ordered, and she had already slipped Rias out of the encirclement.

"How come, since Miss Shirley likes it, then I, the gift giver, can rest assured." Seeing Sophia who had already lifted her up, why don't you say no to it at this time?Okay, let's talk about the one who can win, don't forget, there are three tenth ranks present.The three of them are here, and it's okay to beat everyone here.

"Well, thank you Lord Belize for the gift, um, but it's not rude to come and go, why don't I give you some, I remember that I still have a lot of refined salt in stock, although it's not a lot, it's enough for you in the imperial capital sold."

What is salt? It is a necessity of life. At present, when there is only mineral salt and the output is not very large, it is comparable to gold.The refined salt flowed into the hands of the Duke of Belize. It was not just a matter of salt, but a network, a huge network of interests.

Xueli is not stupid, these people's thoughts are obvious, they want to deal with Hei Die, and at the same time, they can be regarded as wooing themselves, and at this time, taking Hei Die away by herself is to make their interests suffer, but she also has a greater interests before them.

How expensive salt is, it is a necessity that many nobles may not be able to use casually, and the expensive price is not much cheaper than spices.I sold refined salt to them at a price far below the market price, and the huge profits in the middle, do I still need her to help them calculate it carefully.

"How much salt?"

"Well, it's not a lot, but there are still dozens of tons."

"Dozens of tons?" This amount seems to be a lot, but in fact, if you calculate it carefully, it is not a lot. How many people are there in the imperial capital and its surrounding areas?

"However, I will expand production in the future, and more refined salt will come out. At that time, it will not only be dozens of tons, but hundreds or even thousands of tons. The main reason for the low production is the problem of the coastline. , if there were more suitable coastlines, there might be greater production."

This yield is low?Thousands of tons of salt production, "You have thousands of tons, is it a year?"

"Well, it doesn't count. It should be a month. In a year, more than 1 tons is also possible, but it also depends on the season of the year. Not all seasons are suitable for the production of refined salt."

The annual output is nearly 2 tons, and the eyes of these nobles around are green. You know, even those lords with salt mines, the annual salt output, the largest one is only 3-[-] tons.As for the price of salt, one silver coin can only buy half a catty of salt, and in some places even half a catty cannot be bought.As for the price Shirley promised, ten gold coins can buy a ton of refined salt from her.

As nobles in the imperial capital, they don't have any independent collars to increase their income. They mainly rely on the salaries given by the empire and the output of the surrounding farms.

Now, suddenly there is a place that can provide them with a steady stream of refined salt, and allow them to buy it at a price well below the market price.That's what gives them enough benefits.No, enough profiteering.

Money, it's all their money, it's all their money.As for the interests of the so-called lord of the salt mine, is that more attractive than golden coins?

"Miss Shirley, you see how we will purchase your salt in the future, how to transport it and so on, we still need to study carefully, but don't worry, we will bear the transportation cost."

Seeing the agitated nobles, Xue Li blinked her eyes. In fact, ten gold coins was enough profit in her opinion. After all, in her previous life, the price of a ton of salt was only a few thousand yuan.This is still a retail price, not an ex-factory price, and it would be cheaper if it were an ex-factory price.As for the purchasing power of ten gold coins, if converted into the money of the previous life, one gold coin would cost over ten thousand.

So according to the conversion, a silver coin is only more than a hundred yuan, but this, a silver coin can buy half a catty of salt at most.One can imagine how exaggerated the price of this salt is.

"That's right, we have paid for the transportation costs on the road. By the way, you can also take that black butterfly back. If there is anything else you need, we can help."

At this time, who cares about a Snitch, Shirley likes it, give it to her, let alone a Snitch, she can give her any child she likes.Money, that shining gold coin is the most important thing.

After an evening of pleasant exchanges, Shirley also reached an agreement with the nobles of the imperial capital. At the very least, they will protect their current territory. Some nobles even proposed that if there is a chance in the future, they will also fight for her to own a certain coastline. In order to let her expand the scale of production, the output of [-] tons a year is still small from their point of view.

Naturally, Shirley readily accepted the opinions of these people. At this time, the minds of these nobles were full of salt and gold coins.As for the others, they are all floating clouds.

Therefore, it is not too difficult to bring Lias back. She also used this opportunity to push her salt to these nobles, so that they can also have beneficial exchanges with herself.

Of course, during the conversation, Shirley also pulled the princess in at the right time, and didn't pull the two princes into this circle of nobles who used salt to maintain them.

Back in time, Lias, who had closed the window, turned her head with a wry smile and looked at the little lord who brought her back.

"Since it has fallen into your hands, can you tell me, this prisoner, what kind of house you will arrange for me in the future. Or, what will be my ending."

What would be the ending of a female thief who always fights against the nobles if she is caught by the nobles? Shirley carefully recalled the anime she knew. What about the ending? Basically, if you write it out, you will be banned miserably kind of.

"Don't laugh so exaggeratedly. I'm not a bad person, and you haven't provoked me. On the contrary, you have helped me a lot in dealing with the orcs, so I won't be able to avenge my kindness."

Shirley shrugged helplessly, expressing that she wasn't careful enough to take revenge on her because she left a letter in her room.

"Oh? So you want to let me go?"

Seeing the little girl in front of her face with "Aren't you awake?", Lias could only touch her nose and smile, her eyes turned around.

This is not a prison cell, but a bedroom in the princess mansion.Although it is not luxurious on the surface, it is much better than ordinary people.

She was going to leave originally, but after she was brought in by the girl named Sophia, she felt a crisis that she had never felt before, especially what Sophia said when she left "You can choose to leave, but please be prepared to talk about things in bed later."

The tenth level is so tough, Rias thought that without the help of the ring, she would not be able to leave the hands of the tenth level powerhouse, so she simply stayed here for one night and waited for the next day. The little lord came over and said.

"Since you won't let me go, and you don't intend to lock me up, what are you going to do to bring me back?"

"Well, why do you become a snitch? You steal from the nobles and then distribute them to the common people. But even though the common people took the money you gave, how dare they use it freely, and finally return it to the nobles."

Shirley didn't quite understand what this woman was thinking. It would be fine if she didn't know once or twice, but this time and again, what exactly was she planning.

"Why, there are so many whys, the people are poor, the nobles are extravagant, don't you ask why? Sometimes, this world is always so cruel, everyone has his own destiny, God is destined, someone is born to be king , Some people turn grass into bandits, but who can ask the last question, why."

"So you keep finding trouble with the nobles, even if you are in deep danger? I thought there was some bloody feud that made you have to do this."

Shirley shrugged, Shirley was noncommittal to Rias's words, but Rias didn't want to let this kind girl go.

"Hate? Master Shirley, you came from the northern border, and you have seen those refugees fleeing from hunger and starvation all the way, with countless dead. But as for the nobles, they are still singing and dancing, drinking pools and meat forests. Is this reasonable?"

Shrugging, Shirley said that she couldn't answer this topic, not because she thought it was reasonable, but because the world is like this, it's impossible for him to come up with redism in a world that hasn't yet entered industrialization, the steps are too easy click. . .

"The common people worked hard for a year, but in the end they didn't have enough to eat, and the nobles didn't work on production, but made a lot of money. Is this reasonable?"

"Those industrious miners lived on three full meals a day, but those aged laborers were mercilessly driven away by the nobles, and finally died of freezing and starving in the wilderness. Is this reasonable?"

"The miners in the salt mine have no salt to eat, and the textile workers have no clothes to wear. Is this reasonable? There is nothing reasonable about each piece of work, why no one came to ask why."

Shirley closed her eyes lightly, no one would care about those people, just like those small countries that were trapped by bald eagles in the previous life.Who cares if they are fed and clothed?Don't talk about the Holy Mothers, the thoughts of the group of Holy Mothers have already broken through the sky in her eyes, and they can't be viewed by normal people at all. The things they do are more harmful than saving.

"So, what do you want? What kind of life do people live? A society that doesn't need other people to manage, or a society without a country and a government?"

Tilting her head, she looked at the woman in front of her who was already excited in her words, anarchism?Probably not, I guess it was pure dislike, and then I rushed forward as soon as my brain got hot.However, she still has a clear distinction between right and wrong.

"The ruler of the Ming dynasty governs the people by making them look up to their parents, and down to their wives; they will be full for life in happy years, and avoid death in bad years, and then drive them to do good."

What?What do you mean?Rias looked at the little girl in front of her. She should know every word she said, but why did she not understand the combination of words?

"Don't understand? Then come with me. Although you may not do well, you should try your best. Then you will understand what it means."

A small palm stretched out in front of her. Lias looked at the serious little girl in front of her with a smile on her lips. She understood what she meant, and she would become a her subordinates.However, she also wanted to see that, although she didn't quite understand the things that she said, they were bound to be much better than they are now.The two palms, one big and one small, held each other tightly.

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 43 Conversation in the Bath

The broken wine glass rolled a few meters away on the ground, and the angry Earl Bode felt that he was about to explode with anger. That Shirley was trying to die, and she joined forces with the nobles of the imperial capital, one provided refined salt, and the other provided market.

"Damn, is this little girl going crazy, giving away such a big profit like this? She can buy a ton of gold coins for only ten gold coins, and they all need dozens of gold coins. How much will it shrink all at once? moisture."

This is not the point, the point is that at the beginning, she was only relying on the emperor and the princess, the little girl who was weak in the imperial capital, now squeezed into the circle of nobles in a single leap, and with her original strength, I am afraid there will be More nobles expressed their kindness to her.

"You bastard, such a big benefit is given away like this. If this kind of prodigal thing is in our house, I'll see if I don't break her leg. It's really maddening."

"My lord, the second prince sent someone over, saying that he hopes you can go to his place."

"Well, I see." Probably because the princess came to me because of the problem of getting the refined salt. The little girl is just a little girl, and she actually gave the benefit to the princess instead of standing in line with the two princes. Heh, she is looking for death.

"Prepare the carriage. I'll go to the prince's mansion. By the way, bring the elf I bought from a merchant in the Principality of Friedland. It can be given to the second prince."

And this kind of thing didn't just happen to Earl Bode, the eldest prince also called the important lord who was close to him. soaring.

Of course, this is not because he is worried that his sister will become his opponent, but that Adalia already has a certain strength at this time. If she can be brought over, then the person who will come with her will be a powerful The lord, and the economic relationship network behind her.This is a bonanza.

Adalia, who knew nothing about the actions of her two royal brothers, spent a few not-so-pleasant days, because they had to discuss the distribution of refined salt, so every day nobles came to discuss with the princess .The total amount is that much, and they can get more with less here. This is a matter of dozens of gold coins, so there can be no sloppy.

Therefore, Adalia, who was taking a bath with Shirley in the bathroom, was holding her in her arms at this moment, not caring about her struggle at all.

"Little girl, did you think about it before, and use the matter of salt to draw me into the noble circle?"

Since struggling is useless, Shirley, who can only enjoy herself, is being held in Adalia's arms at this time.The smooth junior touched the other's plump place.The lovely pretty face was stained with a blush.

"I don't know so much. I just think that the princess sister also needs some extra money. There is no harm in earning more gold coins. Who knew they would come here so hard for a little profit."

"Small profits? My little girl, you are a bit too much for petty profits. Although you only need ten gold coins for a ton, in the hands of other lords, the price is dozens of gold coins. It's a lot of money. Double the price difference, several times the profit, you call this petty profit?"

But Adalia is still not clear, for Xue Li at this time, this is indeed a petty gain. Xue Li received a letter from Li Huamei before, and this time the elf family went very smoothly, using refined salt to clear the way, The elves will trade with them in large quantities, such as exquisite utensils, gorgeous silk fabrics, and various spices. These are extremely in short supply goods in the mainland.

At the same time, Li Huamei also opened up the southern part of the mainland, those areas occupied by blood clans, traded with some lords there, and bought a lot of tea there.As well as various cheeses that are specialties in the south, various food oils, sugar, etc., these are also extremely tight goods.

In this way, she has used her own naval fleet to establish a large sea channel on the sea, communicating east and west, instilling north and south, such a business route, if you can't make money, what else can you make? money?

Small money, really sweet, Shirley felt that she used those salt as capital to create a circle of her own, unite with these nobles in the imperial capital, at least in many things in the future, they will bring herself a lot help.For example, against some groups with vested interests.

"Sister, you've helped me so much, so it's okay if I help you a little bit today. Besides, I'm not making no money at all."

"You, earn more, can't you protect yourself well in the future, it's better to be outside than at home. The imperial capital is much safer than your northern border."

"Hey hey, I'm pretty safe there too."

Indeed, Shirley thinks that her Aalborg and the Earl of Odos are both very safe places. Not to mention anything else, she really does I don't know who can attack in front of his fortress.

"You girl. Well, the celebration will start tomorrow, and I will rest early today. You must dress beautifully to attend the celebration."

"Well, I know, Fuya has already helped me choose the dress, it's absolutely fine."

Finally, he came out of Adalia's arms. Although his body shivered after leaving the warmth, he still calmed down his mind.

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

In the Earl of Ordos, at this time Zhuge Liang had recruited Zhao Yun and Yue Yun, and there were thousands of Beiwei troops following them.

"Prime Minister, we don't need to be so big, the enemy has tens of thousands of troops, but we only have thousands of Beiwei troops here."

The feather fan swayed slightly, Zhuge Liang looked at the map with a smile, and then turned his attention to Zhao Yun, "Zi Yu, I will let you take the lead this time, can you fight?"

"The prime minister said that I still want to lure the enemy deep? It's just that although the enemy is concentrated, their leader is Theodos. I don't think they will be lured by us so easily."

"Haha, of course it's not that simple, but what if someone says they want to cooperate with them internally and externally."

Under the feather fan, there was a chuckle, Zhuge Liang's words were not limited to Zhao Yun, Yue Yun's eyes also brightened.Then he obeyed Zhuge Liang's arrangement and transferred all the large troops out of the city.

"The Earl of Ordos, as the residence of the lady, is still somewhat dangerous geographically. The Earl of Dolly jumped out at the right time. Based on this, taking down the Earl of Dolly in one fell swoop can be regarded as an addition to the residence of the lady. barrier."
