Turn into Earl Lolita
Page 59
"You idiots, when the price of salt was raised, you ran up the pole one by one. I said earlier that the other party has the technology to make salt, and the salt price is not changed casually in the hands of that little girl. Why are you doing it? Don't listen. As a result, under the boiling public grievances, that girl actually came here under the banner of the Phoenix family to sell low-priced salt. They have gained a reputation and made a lot of money. Being played by a little girl like this, yours Where's the brain?"
The following nobles who came here to ask the Duke for help lowered their heads. This is not to say that they realized their mistakes, but that this matter was requested by the Duke himself. He was the one who watched the price of salt soar. , Immediately began to hoard the salt sold by the merchants.
In his words, at this time, the money in the territory can be collected into their hands again, and the people who are well-off can quickly send all the money. This is much easier than collecting taxes.
As a result, something happened now, and it was said that it was their problem, and they also did it with the duke. In the end, you get the benefits, and I will bear the blame?
Of course, I only dare to say this in my heart. If I really say it, have you seen the people around? They may not dare to compete with the Duke with their mouths, but they dare to fight with the Duke with their hands The aristocrats raised their mouths and lowered their mouths.
"Give me a letter and tell the little lord of Aalborg to let her give me enough. In the Principality of Friedland, I still have the final say, don't challenge my bottom line. Well, by the way, let her Confiscate all the salt transported to your respective territories, and tell the little lord that these are punishments, if you still dare to do this, don’t blame me for being rude.”
In the heart of Duke Stugalbo, this is considered a small punishment, a punishment not worth mentioning. He did not immediately declare war on Shirley, which is enough to give the royal family face. If this girl dares to jump like this, Don't blame him for being rude.
"My lord, doing so may cause dissatisfaction with the other party. The Phoenix family has a large number of troops. For the sake of these salts, we don't need to cause conflicts with them."
"Hmph, Earl Sterlint, you are worrying a little bit. Although the Phoenix family has a lot of troops, our principality's legion is not bad. Also, if I don't do anything this time, then all cats and dogs in the future will be fine." Dare to jump out, it seems that those people have long forgotten how powerful our Principality of Friedland is."
There was a cold smile on the corner of his lips, it was a smile after extreme anger, and it was a mockery of the enemy's overreach.
"This time, it's time to make an example to the monkeys, so that those who are ready to make a move know that I am the one who decides the northern border."
Seeing that the Duke in front was so angry, Earl Sterlint could only sigh helplessly. There is no way, the Duke has indeed lost a lot this time, the loss of thousands of gold coins. The income is so easily robbed by the other party, and no one will be angry if it is replaced.
However, this time, there was a wave of uneasiness in his heart. He always felt that this Phoenix family was a bit weird. He had studied every potential opponent in depth, and the only thing he couldn't study was the newly rising Phoenix family.
That little girl's army, her true strength, seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog. Whenever you think it is her limit, new information will appear in the fog again, telling you, her bottom line It's much more than that.
But looking at the furious Duke of Stugalbo, he rationally did not raise his concerns in front of everyone.
##############
The moon sets, the sun rises, Heidelias, who just woke up from her sleep, opens the window of her room. This is a dream she once wanted but never enjoyed, but now it has become the norm.
As usual, looking down at the busy street below from the window on the second floor, some playful children looked up and saw her while they were playing, and greeted her happily.
Although she didn't know them, she could still vaguely remember from their appearance that these were the refugees she had helped. Could these children be able to play so freely now?That little girl's territory really made her feel the difference of nobles.
"Miss Lias, I have some fresh wild fruits here, do you want to try some of them?"
A middle-aged woman passed by, and the basket in her hand was also full of red wild fruits. Now is the period when this kind of fruit is ripe. Many people like to go to the wild to collect it in the early morning and take it home as the fruit for these days. come to eat.
Lias, who leaned out of the window, waved her hand lightly, "I haven't finished eating the few pills you gave me two days ago."
This is also a member of the refugee family, but now she has a decent job in the city with her two children. Not only can she support the family, but it is said that she has the ability to buy some meat from the butcher shop to improve diet.
Just as he was thinking about whether to go to Xueli's place to get some barbecue for today's meal, a homing pigeon fell from the sky quickly.
This pigeon with a blue silk thread tied to its leg made Lias frowned slightly. This kind of ribbon represented important information, and the logo on this pigeon told her that it came from Buddha. Duchy of Redland.
In such a situation, she didn't dare to have any hesitation. After closing the window, she opened the silk thread and carefully read the contents inside.
"It's really the same as what that Mr. Kong Ming said. That duke couldn't bear it, and he really wanted to fight."
A look of astonishment flashed across her face, and then she returned to calm. This time, she had a reason to go to Xueli's place. She had been thinking about the barbecue that Miss Fuya baked herself for a long time.
Chaos in the North: Chapter 6 is going to be a hit (two chapters co-published)
It is not considered a luxurious castle. After all, the Earl of Dolly is not considered a wealthy territory. It is enough to be self-sufficient in food, and as for commerce, there is not much development.And because they were close to the Earl of Ordos before, they were unable to develop normally at all because of the strong suppression of Theodos in the past.
As a result, this little earl has no wealth to speak of until now. Although he can't reach the point of being poor, it is far from the luxurious castle of Earl Theodos.
As usual, Fuya placed the jam and bread made from wild fruit in front of Shirley, and on the other plate were several slices of sliced prosciutto and a slice of fried egg.
"Sister Fuya, just eat with me, it will save some time."
"Miss, I already ate some bread when I was cooking for you, so there's no need to eat it with you." And this time when she went back, her mother had already taught her a lesson.At least in her mother's eyes, as a maid, she did overstep in some matters.
However, looking at the little girl in front of her, she was really worried at the beginning, but now it seems that her young lady really has the strength that she doesn't need to worry about.
From the dragon cavalry at the beginning to the white pole army that appeared now, the generals and the troops are all enough to protect her safety. Now I don't need to think too much about other issues besides taking good care of her.
In other words, if one day there is a maid who can take care of her by her side, she will not be surprised, but every time she thinks of this, she will feel a dull pain in her heart.
"Major Maid Fuya, Miss, Miss Rias is outside, saying that she has something important to see."
"Is Rias here? Then let her in quickly. I haven't seen her since I asked her to come back early. This is the first official meeting."
Clapping her hands happily, she wiped off a little crumbs from holding the bread in her hands, and was about to get up, when Fuya took out a clean handkerchief to help her wipe her hands again.The soft palm gently held her hand, and carefully wiped off the crumbs that no longer existed on her hand with the handkerchief.I don't know if the cool touch came from the handkerchief or her fingertips.
"Hmm... Sister Fuya, I've already taken a clean shot, so there's no need to bother."
"Even if you took a picture of the bread crumbs on your hand, there is still some oil on it, so it's better to wipe it off."
Because I haven't finished eating, the water basin for washing hands prepared in advance has not yet been delivered, so I can only make up for it and wipe it with a handkerchief.
Looking at the smiling girl who is close at hand, I don't know why, but I feel that my face is a little hot. From the beginning until now, I have been taking care of me in every possible way. She came to an unknown world, and she was always worried. , and because she was by his side, he felt extremely at ease.Because she knows that no matter what happens, she will never leave herself.Even if he inherited this sincerity from her.
"It... Actually, there is no need for this... Such... There is not... Not much oil on hand."
"Miss is going to meet guests, so she should clean her hands. Don't make Miss Rias wait for a long time."
Just a reminder, don't get entangled in such trivial matters, it's better to ask Rias why she came here.Mr. Kong Ming told them yesterday that Rias has become the leader of the intelligence agency at this time.Use her network of relationships in various territories to build a huge underground intelligence agency.
She didn't make Shirley wait too long, and soon Rias hurried into the restaurant. Why was she in such a hurry? Of course, she was afraid that Shirley would change the meeting place to another place.
He moved his feet to the fastest pace, and finally rushed into the restaurant when Shirley and the others were about to leave. The first thing he saw was the unfinished bacon and bread on the table. Well, she came here for a reason. important things.
"Why are you in such a hurry, what is so urgent? The Principality of Friedland is calling in?"
"No, not yet, but it's coming soon. According to my informant, the Duke of Stugalbo of the Duchy of Friedland has issued a clear order last night to declare war on us. There has been no movement until now, just worried. The strength of our army is also the suggestion made by the minister who the Duke relies on the most, to integrate the troops first, make preparations for war, and declare war after everything is ready."
"Huh? Can it still be like this? Didn't you say that the nobles are very concerned about etiquette, and this time they want to go to war without declaring it?"
"It's not an undeclared war, but they want to fight the time difference. They have made sufficient preparations in advance, mentally and unintentionally. When the time comes and suddenly declare war, our army can only rush to fight."
"What's the difference? Anyway, it's quite shameless."
Curling her lips in displeasure, she actually cheated herself by doing this, is she going to have a dark secret in the future?
"Did you tell Mr. Kong Ming about this?" Regarding the issue of combat, she had nothing to worry about like Zhuge Liang.
"The other party intends to invade my territory with an army of [-] this time, and this time they have learned the previous lesson and know that our army is elite, so they plan to use their numbers to pile up a victory, which is bound to break your usual Victory."
"Well, if you put it this way, the number of troops is really quite different." The other party has 10 people. If I count it seriously here, it's only about [-] to [-], and they have to divide troops to garrison various places.The apparent strength is really at a disadvantage.I just don't know if the duke on the other side will say, "The strength of the battle is [-] vs. [-]. I have the advantage."
"Master Shirley, you'd better get ready as soon as possible. The Duke of Friedland is not as magnanimous as he appears on the surface. The methods are even more black."
Speaking of the duke, she knew a lot of black information about him, how he used various means to persecute some earls who were not close to her, and instigated his children to rebel, and finally ruined his family.Only the puppet he supported was left behind.Either use economic means to squeeze the opponent's economy and destroy their economy, so that the entire county is forced to join him.
And for the common people below, there are endless levies and miscellaneous taxes, and the common people suffer unspeakably. In his words, being able to keep these untouchables alive is already the greatest favor he has given them.
"I remember a little girl who once said something he didn't like to hear, and was taken to the castle, saying that she was given a decent job, but until now, no one has seen that girl, and the girl My family members also mysteriously disappeared one by one.”
"Mysterious disappearance?" Shirley was surprised. Those people should all live in the village. Why did they disappear mysteriously, and no one in the family found any clues?But seeing Lias nodding her head firmly, Shirley understood that the one who really did this must be the Duke.It's too much to make a family disappear just because of one sentence.
Seeing that Shirley was still contemplating, Lias couldn't hold on any longer, coughed twice, and turned their attention to her again, before she said: "Miss, look at my hurried Come here, haven't had breakfast yet..."
"Ah, look at me, I forgot, Sister Fuya, help Rias prepare a breakfast too."
Looking fixedly at Lias, who was smiling dryly, Fuya curled her lips in displeasure. This guy came at this point and said that he wanted to send information. In fact, the main purpose of this guy is to come to eat.Otherwise, you only need to hand over the news to Mr. Kong Ming, and there is no need for her to go there in person.
"Miss, the food here is really good. Compared with Fuya, the food I make myself is pig food, no, the kind that even pigs don't eat."
Biting the white bread sandwiched with bacon and ham, Lias ate something called greasy mouth.Even Shirley, who was sitting at the desk and looking at the documents Zhuge Liang sent her, couldn't help turning her attention.
"Mr. Kong Ming also mentioned in the document that he hopes that the command of the new [-] white-armed army can also be handed over to him. At that time, the command can be unified."
"Sir, do you mean to take the initiative to attack? Is this really possible? The other party has not declared war yet. If we take the initiative to attack, we will give him the blame instead. Will the gain outweigh the loss?"
Giving Zhuge Liang the military power, although Fuya also had doubts in her heart, she couldn't help but say that the man called Crouching Dragon really used his own ability to teach her what is called omnipotence.
Politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, military, she really wanted to ask him if there was anything else he wouldn't do?How evil does a person have to be to be so omnipotent.
"No, Mr. Kong Ming's meaning is very simple. It is to unify the troops in advance. Once the opponent declares war, we will immediately launch an attack, settle the battle in the enemy's territory, and when we win the opponent, we will occupy some territory and force the opponent to reconcile with us. .”
"Reconciliation? Since the Principality of Friedland has declared war with us, isn't it too difficult for them to reconcile?"
Surprised at what Xue Li said, a dignified principality was beaten by an earl and forced to reconcile, no matter how I think about it, it is impossible.
"It's okay, that person is Kong Ming, with him, nothing is impossible."
Has my lady trusted that Kong Ming to this extent?Although he is indeed very powerful, but if he can really force a duke to bow his head to his lady, it involves a duke's face, not just a joke.
But seeing Xue Li's confident appearance, she still didn't express her doubts. At this time, she could only smile.
"If you want me to say, there is nothing to worry about. Our military strength seems to be small, but they are all soldiers who have fought a hundred battles. They are more than a star and a half stronger than those enemies. Instead of worrying about victory or defeat, it is better to worry about our massive expansion. Can you digest a territory that is far larger than our current territory as quickly as possible?"
Good guy, this is not the start of the war, just thinking about the rhythm of the celebration, can you stop being so outrageous?Moreover, Miss is confident because she has never been defeated, Mr. Kong Ming is confident because of his own abilities, and why are you so confident, Rias?The latest to come, and the least clear about the strength of the army here, why is he so confident that he will definitely win.
"What, Miss Fuya thinks we will lose this time?"
An evil smile appeared on the corner of Lias's lips, but what she got was not Fuya's panic-stricken explanation, but the other party's calm but extremely firm voice.
"I may not know the direction of the war, but I do know that you will never get the lady's food again in the future."
"Huh? Don't, we can't do this. If you have something to say, let's talk about it. It's hard to have a good meal. Can you stop being so cruel."
Angrily glanced at this woman with a painful expression, would the dignified black butterfly be starved to death?It's impossible to think about it, just go out and eat honestly, the food she made by herself is only for the young lady to eat.
"Okay, don't make such a fuss, let's stay together at noon today. However, if you have to apologize to Sister Fuya, you will have to pay the price if you say something wrong. If Sister Fuya is unhappy, the chef for today's lunch will change. Human."
You can stay and eat, but you have to make people happy. There is no shortage of chefs in the kitchen. If you want to eat the lunch you want, you should just bow your head honestly.
Looking at Shirley who looked down at the document in the seat, Rias looked at the blond maid standing next to her, and made her happy, didn't you realize that she was already very happy when you favored her so much.Speech, why do women bother to embarrass women.
#################
Here Rias is trying hard to get Fuya to cook her a lunch, and on the other side, in Kong Ming's meeting room, an emergency military meeting has also started.
Qin Liangyu, a newly promoted military general, is sitting on the seat at this time. If you want to rank the importance of each according to the seat, then it is unnecessary. After all, this time is determined according to the order of entering the conference room. The first come first, and the last come later. The reason is, who made you come later than others for the agreed meeting.
Qin Liangyu, who didn't understand this at all, was worried about being late because he was a newcomer, so he sat at Zhuge Liang's lower head, which was also the first seat.
"Lias has received the information that the enemy has indeed begun to prepare for war and will attack our territory in the near future. I also went to the lady's side for information, hoping to obtain the command of General Qin's White Army. I hope you can cooperate a lot.”
"The prime minister was joking. Since the opponent is going to fight, we have to have a good fight. Beat them so painfully that they dare not stretch out their hands. Under your command, I believe we can do it."
It might not be close in other places, but in Sichuan and Sichuan, the name of Kong Ming is enough for them to respect.
Looking at this handsome and beautiful general, Kong Ming gently shook his feather fan, and then slowly said his deployment with everyone's surprised expressions.Sure enough, even if the prime minister wanted stability, his plan was bold enough.
Unrest in the North: Chapter 7 Pirates
The vast and boundless sea, like a blue gem, complements the blue sky, but the sea that should have been quiet, now erupted with roars like landslides and ground cracks.
"Hahaha, blow it up for me. After so long, I finally met a pirate who dared to trouble us. As I said earlier, this trade route has always been very prosperous. How could there be no pirates?"
Looking at the wooden ships one after another in the distance, in front of the huge iron-clad ships, she was like a younger brother who was a few heads shorter. She was beaten and ran away with her head in her arms. She felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
It's not that Li Huamei has never fought pirates before, but it's the first time that she has fought so well. The iron-clad ship her lady gave her is simply not too strong.If Daming had this kind of ironclad ship back then, he would have to worry about the so-called Japanese pirates.
Cannonballs one after another were swayed towards the enemy ship in the distance as if they didn't need money, and the bed crossbow and trebuchet that were originally invincible on the other side were useless at all now.
The crossbow arrows they fired with great difficulty, not to mention the layer of steel that penetrated the opponent's ironclad ship, fell directly into the sea without even touching it, causing a series of splashes.
"Damn it, who took this mission? Didn't we all agree at the beginning that when we saw this kind of ship, we would change ourselves into a merchant ship? Who came up with the idea to attack this kind of iron-clad ship?"
In their eyes, this is a big lump of steel floating in the sea. If they want to rob the other party, it depends on whether they are willing or not. If they don't need to fight, they can sink several of their warships directly.
"I don't know either. The boss listened to the military adviser. He said that the duke said that as long as we can cut off the Aalborg trade route, we can own a territory in the future and become nobles in their territory."
"Hey, nobleman, that's also the boss. We'll just follow him as his private army. That duke of the Principality of Friedland is not a good guy. Such a terrible army, let us die."
The middle-aged man hiding on the deck spat fiercely at the ground. The indiscriminate bombing on the other side was an attack they had never seen before. Such a large-scale magical attack was cheating.Doesn't the opponent's magician need to rest?
"I think we can persevere. As long as we get close to the enemy ship, I believe we will not lose to them in the gang battle."
Confidence comes from their record. They have never been defeated in dozens of battles, and he believes that there will be no defeat this time.
Regarding the confident smile of the comrade-in-arms in front of him, the middle-aged man could only say, who gave him the confidence, and felt that the other party would give them a chance to fight.
"Look, look, the Kraken and the Mountain Devil are already approaching each other, quick, quick, faster, a little closer, a little bit, a little bit..."
Boom boom boom, the vitality that illuminated the sea surface from the fierce artillery immediately poured down in his eyes, like the scythe of death, it instantly changed the two ships from wooden boats to fire boats.
Even on other ships far away, he seemed to be able to hear the wailing of the crew members on the two ships in the flames, and then watched the two ships sink into the sea just like that.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)"
A sea ship not far away from him was about to escape, but before he could run far, a huge gap was blasted by the other party, and then a large amount of seawater rushed into the cabin, and the ship was finished. A skilled crew member, he could tell at a glance that the ship was completely hopeless.
