Turn into Earl Lolita

Seeing the breakfast coming in, and seeing Fuya's slightly stern expression at this time, Shirley immediately jumped off the seat beside her. She just accidentally walked onto the chair, so she didn't jump on it out of excitement.

"Sister Fuya, will I have to eat in my room from now on?"

"Of course not, only breakfast and dinner can be eaten in the room, and lunch still has to go to the restaurant."

Eating breakfast and dinner in the room is what most nobles in the north will do, because the weather is too cold, it will be a long way from the room or office to the dining room.There are no stoves to keep warm in many places along the way.

Don't think that the temperature in the castle of the nobles will be very high. Most of the places have no heating measures, so those lords will choose to eat in their rooms in the morning and evening, which can reduce the wood consumption for heating. It can allow them to reduce the time of freezing on the road.

"How about lunch in the room, I will work in the room in the future, which can save a lot of wood and reduce unnecessary waste."

How warm her own room is, the fireplace next door provides a suitable temperature for this room, and she is the only nobleman in the entire castle.Therefore, it can be said that her room has always maintained a suitable temperature. Compared with many nobles who go out and stop heating the room, it is much better here.But also because of this, it also caused a lot of waste.

"Miss, if you work in your room, why don't you increase the time you spend reading novels from two hours to eight hours?"

However, Fuya didn't just discuss this matter with Shirley, but asked her what happened to her excitement this morning.Although I don't want to go into the details, but as a maid, she still needs to know about such a big emotional fluctuation of her own lady.

Speaking of this, Shirley couldn't help but let out a weird "hey hey" laugh. She couldn't be blamed for being so happy, because although she didn't get a double gold in the ten consecutive draws this time, it also gave her a big surprise.

The first is an entire ironclad fleet.That's right, it's an ironclad ship. Although it is not a modern aircraft carrier formation, it is also a naval fleet composed of dozens of various cruisers, battleships, and several dreadnoughts in the game, as well as dozens of small coastal defense ships. ship.

Although she hadn't thought about which game it was until now, these warships were real.With a navy of this size, according to what Li Huamei mentioned to herself before, and the reports on the situation of the navies in various regions, she felt that her navy was enough to prevent the northern orcs from going south through the navy.

Moreover, with the navy, there is sea power, and with sea power, isn't there a lot of money coming in.Not to mention the future, even now, the only six warships she has now brought her a lot of gold coins.Although most of it is used for infrastructure construction, it has also greatly developed its own territory.

Of course, if it was just a navy, she wouldn't be so happy. This time she also pumped out dozens of tons of hybrid wheat seeds and a small water purification plant.

Not to mention the seeds of hybrid wheat. According to the introduction on the card, this kind of wheat can produce more than 300 kilograms per mu. What kind of concept is this? It is much better than ordinary oats and barley.

Although these seeds will only be used for one year at most, one year is enough for her to restore the economy and agriculture of the territory.

As for the water purification plant, don't mention it, I will definitely move to the Earl of Ordos in the future, where there is no rich well water in Aalborg.If she really wants to get there later, there is not much guarantee for the water she drinks.With the water purification plant, there is no such worry.

Although it is impossible to guarantee the drinking water of the people in the entire territory, she has already solved a lot of trouble for the territory by taking care of herself.

"Sister Fuya, you'll know when you look back, hehehe, this is a bumper harvest."

"Big harvest? Miss, you haven't recruited some troops and some generals, have you? What we lack now is not generals, but management personnel, especially in Badler City. There is no one suitable there until now." The lord of the city will manage it."

After taking care of the young lady to sleep, she also communicated with Antruth on this aspect. At this time, the development of Aalborg was indeed somewhat biased towards the military, and there was too little political and economic talent.Even with the addition of an all-rounder like Zhuge Liang, he can't be allowed to go back and forth between the various earldoms alone.

"How is it possible? This time I found Li Huamei to be the leader. She is enough, and there are some good crop seeds. Although they are not as good as potatoes, they can also increase our grain yield per mu."

When it came to potatoes and food, Fuya felt that her own lady was a bit incomprehensible. Why didn't the common people plant a large amount of potatoes when there were such good crops as potatoes? Instead, they didn't let them all grow potatoes, and continued to grow other food crops. planting.

"Miss, in fact, we only need to grow potatoes, why do we have to grow others. As long as there are a few more good harvests, we can completely let us..."

"Sister Fuya, it's not possible. Although potatoes are produced in large quantities, we can't put all our eggs in one basket."

There are still some words left behind, that is, in her world, she doesn't want things like the Irish famine to happen to her.

The knife and fork in her hand was put down, and the food on the plate was eaten, Shirley stood up from her chair. "After eating, let's go to work. Aren't we going to welcome General Zhao Yun's triumphant return today?"

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 12 Zhao Yun is back

In the north in December, the wind was biting, and the dripping water turned into ice, but the hearts of everyone waiting in Aalborg were hot.And Shirley, who was standing at the front, also put her hands to her mouth while breathing, while anxiously waiting for the general returning from afar.

Naturally, she put Shirley's hand in her arms. In the cold weather, Fuya didn't seem to feel the slightest bit, letting Shirley's hand just be in her thick clothes.Looking at the girl with a blush on her face.chuckle.

"Don't move around, it's too cold, so it can be warmer."

This is not a question of whether it is warm or not, but that although my hands are not stretched into the clothes, they are only stretched into the outermost layer of clothes, but even so, I can still feel the softness with warmth.This made her feel even hotter in front of so many people.

"Sister Fuya, there are a lot of people here, don't do this. I also wear gloves, it's not that cold."

Fuya, who was squatting in front of Shirley and holding her forearm with both hands, shook her head in refusal, looking at those officials who were also waiting here.

"They won't pay attention to this place. Besides, I'm the lady's maid, so I should do these things."

Originally, it was planned to put a carriage here, but the young lady said that since it is the general who is waiting for the triumphant return, then don't put a carriage here to block the eyes, and wait for the return of the heroes with everyone, which is the greatest respect for them.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw dust flying in the distance. Xueli knew that it was the return of the triumphant soldiers they were waiting for.Immediately, he wanted to hold something happily, but when he heard the girl in front of him hum softly, he realized that what he wanted to hold was indescribable.

"Yes... sorry..."

"Where is the lord who apologizes to the maid?" Fuya touched Shirley's little head, and Fuya released Shirley's hand from her embrace, and then straightened her clothes.

At this time, under the command of Antruth, the band behind has begun to play the Triumph of the Fafnir Empire. Under this tragic triumph, hundreds of dragoons in the distance, led by Zhao Yun, Come here quickly.

On the white horse, Zhao Yun drove all the way, and saw her young lady waiting for her arrival in front of the city gate from a distance. In such a cold weather, she was an underage girl. Zhao Yun was worried about the young lady. Will it make you sick.

Naturally, he didn't dare to delay at all, the white horse sped up again, and in less than a moment, it was already more than ten meters away from Xue Li and the others, but he watched her turn over and dismount skillfully.Quickly came to Shirley and knelt down on one knee.

"Sister Zhao Yun, welcome back Desheng."

"Miss, why do you have to go out of the city to greet me in the middle of winter for such a small victory? Let the general panic."

"My sister was joking. This is not a small victory. I defeated the tens of thousands of troops of the Principality of Friedland in front of Fort Polidna. I am afraid that many people will not be able to achieve such a record in their entire lives. And your victory this time is also very important." Bring us peace. Why don't I come out of town to meet him."

He grabbed Zhao Yun's armored arm with both hands, helped him up, and then turned around to look at the people behind him.

"Welcome the return of the kings of the Western Expedition. This victory has allowed us to expand three territories again, and it has also made my reputation in Aalborg resound throughout the northern border. Our army is victorious, and I am Aalborg. I am Fafni The Empire of Seoul—ever victorious."

"Oh oh oh, all victories. My army is all victorious."

Although it is a little unreasonable to say that the Fafnir Empire is invincible, it is not a problem at this time. After all, this time not only dealt with the troops of the Principality of Friedland, but also "countered" the orcs at the beginning. Wan Sheng is fine, but no matter how I listen to it, I feel a little awkward.

"Lord Antruth, according to what we said before, distribute rewards to these soldiers. Sister Zhao Yun, you and I will go back to the castle. Today we will not return home drunk in the castle."

Opening her mouth, she really wanted to say something, Miss, you are not old enough to drink alcohol, but looking at the surroundings, she still held back, especially after seeing Zhuge Cheng shaking her head slightly towards her.

"Sister Yun, get on the horse first."

This was about to go back. Zhao Yun naturally understood that she could also enter the city on horseback, but after she got on the horse, Xue Li did not leave immediately, but stepped forward to take the reins of her white horse skillfully.

"Miss, what is this?"

"Hey, I'm not a royal family, I'm just a nobleman, or an earl, I can't give any good rewards, I can only lead the horse for the general."

Xue Li's sudden action not only shocked Zhao Yun, but also everyone else. In this era of solidified identities, where is there any nobleman to lead a horse for his subordinates.

"Little...Miss..."

"It's nothing, General Zhao represents not only herself, but also the soldiers who have not returned from the western front. I lead the horses for her, and I also lead the horses for the generals who can't come back, and for the soldiers who can't return. To lead a horse is to lead a horse for those heroes who fought bloody battles but never came back.”

Shirley's words made those officials who wanted to persuade them stop, but for some reason, they felt that this small body was not in line with her noble status, but it made them feel, This lady is so respectful.

And when the common people saw this scene, they recognized the lord even more in their hearts. A lord who was willing to condescend for the people and the soldiers who died in battle, why didn't they let them dedicate their loyalty.

One person and one horse walked slowly towards the castle. This was not a show, at least in the eyes of many people, they could see each other's shock. They just watched the four of them disappear at the city gate, and then realized that , to hurry back with them.

As for why there are four of them, don't forget that there are two other guards. Fuya was so surprised that she didn't move, but it doesn't mean that the other two Valkyries didn't respond. Anyway, what Shirley did was normal in their eyes.Just do your job well.

As for Zhuge Liang, he looked at the officials and common people who came out of the city to welcome Zhao Yun and others, and at Xue Li who was walking away, with an inexplicable smile on his face.Then the feather fan in his hand shook slightly, and then came to Antruth's side.

"My lord, at this time, I should appease the original soldiers, not entangle the lord's condescension."

"Ah... that's right, I should take care of the returning soldiers, you guys, hurry up and take the soldiers with me to the barracks we prepared for them in advance."

In order to welcome these soldiers, these soldiers with great military exploits, they rebuilt a new barracks before these soldiers returned to welcome their return.

"You guys, hurry up and take all the wine and meat we prepared, so that the soldiers will not be drunk today."

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 13 Major Developments

Although the five earldoms are of different sizes, they are not a small area when they are connected together. Especially the two earldoms of Polidna and Bolink can be said to have a vast territory and fertile soil. It can be regarded as a relatively rich territory before the breach.

Now they also belong to Shirley. With the expansion of the territory and the influx of refugees, Shirley, who was originally relatively rich in food, now also feels that food is stretched.And after the end of winter, she will also transfer her residence city to Ordosburg.

This is already a small-scale relocation of the capital, and it is even more difficult to estimate how much resources, money and food will be needed in the process.This made Shirley, who was sitting in front of the desk with a pen in her mouth, scratch her head even more.

"Miss, how many times have I told you not to show such indecent behavior. You are a lady, a lord, and a famous nobleman, how can you show such an indecent image?"

Seeing her young lady like this, Fuya pushed the door in with snacks and black tea and immediately asked, when will my young lady grow up.Can't you be more ladylike like other noble ladies?

Scared by Fuya who came in suddenly, she hurriedly cleared the table, then raised her head with a smile and said in an extremely troubled tone.

"Sister, I am short of money and food. Many refugees have entered Polidna and Bolink, and they consume a lot of food every day."

"Miss, it's not just there. The road construction you arranged before and the reconstruction of Badler City also require a lot of money and food. It's just the expenditure on various places, and it will make our ends meet in Aalborg."

"Ah, ah, why is it so troublesome, can't you give me more money, I want money."

Holding her head in her hands, she leaned back vigorously. Fortunately, the back of the chair behind her was low so that she didn't hit her head.Even so, it was enough to give her a headache.

"Miss, have you forgotten something?"

"Ah? Is there anything I forgot?" Upon hearing Fuya's words, Shirley immediately understood that there was something in the words, and there must be some places that she didn't notice, or that there were omissions.

"We seized a lot of supplies from the Earl of Dhaka, which can be regarded as an urgent need."

"This, I know this, otherwise I wouldn't dare to overhaul the infrastructure, but I never thought that so many refugees would flood into Polidna and Bolink in winter. These two Although the earldom's population has increased a lot, it has also brought great population pressure."

Players who play certain social games know that population is a very important indicator, but the reality is that although the population is growing, it is easy to have problems when there is not enough food.Especially now, she's on the verge of bankruptcy.

"Pfft..." Fuya couldn't hold back her laughter at last, and then she said under Shirley's staring almond eyes in bewilderment.

"Miss, have you forgotten Admiral Li Huamei, she has been developing ocean trade."

"Ah, by the way, Li Huamei, she hasn't sent me a bill for a long time, why did she have some new income?"

"Didn't you carefully read the letter Li Huamei sent you last time? Didn't she write it very clearly? Ever since she received the fleet from you, the ocean trade has been very active now. There are also many new items expected."

She also watched some, but she really didn't remember very clearly, why her own lady didn't even read it.

that letter?Xue Li thought about it carefully, and then remembered the letter with many words. At that time, her mind was full of questions about reading the novel, and she didn't pay attention to the data in it at all.

Besides, who is okay to read the data in the letter?

Looking at her young lady's appearance, she knew that she must have not read it, so Fuya could only find the letter for her while sighing.

"Until now, Mr. Zhuge hasn't talked to you about the issue of food and money, right? He just reminded you to transfer in time, which means that they all know the inventory in our treasury and the storage of food."

Fuya didn't say anything later, but Shirley, who read the letter with her mouth pursed, knew that she was definitely trying to say that she was the only one who didn't know anything and was still worrying here and there.

But can she refute, yes, no, the more she refutes, the more wrong she is, so Shirley can only carefully check the information that she didn't pay attention to.

With the joining of a whole fleet, the sea salt trade has begun to take shape. In terms of the spice business, Li Huamei also organized several merchant groups to carry out land trade, which earned them a lot of gold coins and food.

"I'm a rich man now?"

According to Li Huamei, the transaction this time is a transaction amount that she can't imagine. After such a calculation, isn't she a little rich woman?

For her own lady's unrealistic thoughts, Fuya just smiled, and then said to her: "Miss, we only have a dozen or so gold coins in the treasury now, and as for the food, there is a lot of food, and we are still rich enough to survive this winter." , according to Mr. Zhuge's calculations, we should be able to last until the first batch of grain enters the warehouse at the beginning of next year."

This is good news, but I only have a dozen gold coins, why are there so few? Didn't Li Huamei say that the trade volume is huge.She should have a lot of gold coins in the account.

"Miss, after the winter, you first bought a lot of cotton cloth to prevent the severe cold, and sold it to the people at a low price, and recruited the people to use the winter time to repair the roads in various regions. All these need money."

Before Shirley could speak, Fuya went on to say, "The rebuilding of Badler City, the restoration of the three counties of Dhaka, Polidna, and Bolink. All of these require the investment of gold coins, and there are still a lot of gold coins investment."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Good guy, after hearing Fuya's words, she herself felt fortunate that she didn't dig the Grand Canal, didn't build a palace, and didn't continue to go south with military force. Otherwise, wouldn't she also die in the second generation?

"If it wasn't for Admiral Li Huamei's constant delivery of gold coins and food, we would have been dragged down long ago. Also, Director Andrews also said that the gold coins in the warehouse cannot be used for other purposes and must be kept. , This is the commission reserved for those mercenaries, and we must not mess around again."

The stern and emphatic tone made Xueli nod repeatedly. There was no way, although she knew that she didn't need to pay the commission, but in the eyes of other people, the [-] troops were all mercenaries, and the commission would not be less. Gold coins are only needed for a year.And this price is already considered low on the mainland.

What Antruth meant was to save less money when there is less money, and save more money when there is more money. Anyway, we must not think of saving money until the last year, when it is probably too late.

"So Sister Fuya, how is the recovery in those territories now? It can't be that agriculture can't be resumed next year."

"That's not the case. The farmland can be recultivated. We have sent potatoes there and are preparing to plant them there after the end of winter."

Imperial Capital Volume: Chapter 14 Winter to Spring

The time of development is always ordinary, but this time is not so peaceful for Shirley. For example, because the weather is getting colder and colder, she has no way to go out, so she can only stay in the room or watch the Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was there, and a large number of documents were handled by him. Only some important documents required her signature to proceed. Zhuge Liang would also write down how to arrange and solve them, and then gave her as a reference.Of course, most of them were directly signed by her.

Comparing the opinions given by Zhuge Liang, they are much more suitable than the conclusions drawn by her as a rookie. As for the kind of "if you don't put forward some opinions, you will give people a bad impression".It's not Party A, so I decided to use the original version after making changes and changes.

In her spare time, Fuya took up most of her time. To put it bluntly, she started to learn court etiquette again, especially when winter was coming to an end and spring was coming.

"Well, this dress is so uncomfortable to wear, can I not wear this kind of waist-tied clothes, I can't breathe well."

Where did these instruments of torture come from? They were clamped around the waist. Although they looked like a woman with a slender waist, it also made it difficult for people to breathe.After wearing it for less than 5 minutes, she had the urge to pass out.

"Miss, this is what many noble ladies and famous ladies must wear when attending banquets. Many of their dresses have very slender waists. If you don't wear this waist, I'm afraid you won't even be able to wear them."
