Scanning the letter in a hurry, Shirley's lips curled up slightly, and she would give her a pillow if she wanted to doze off. It seemed that the emperor and the others were still leaning towards her.

"Uncle Emperor said that several principalities jointly signed a letter hoping to mediate the war between us and the Principality of Friedland. I hope that both of us can calm down and talk, and they will try their best to mediate as a neutral party."

It's a little funny to think about it, how long has it been since I came back from the imperial capital, and I will be called back to the imperial capital again, but this time it is not to participate in any celebration, but to negotiate with those so-called dukes.

"Miss, those dukes are not trustworthy. For your safety, I don't think you should go."

"Why don't you go? If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger's cub. Besides, I don't believe those dukes dare to do anything to me."

Picking up the black tea in the cup, although it was slightly cold, it still tasted good, "Sister Fuya, please write me a reply letter and say that I will come over on time."

She hesitated to speak, but seeing Li Huamei shaking her head gently, she still didn't say anything.I could only sigh softly in my heart, and planned to go to Heidi later to see if she could give me some advice.

Unrest in the North: Chapter 43 Returns to the Imperial City

Li Huamei still needs some time to prepare for the sea area in the north, and the generals also need some time to expand the number of their troops. Territories.Let those people plant these new grain seeds after the harvest.

Corn, wheat, these high-yield seeds can allow the common people and even various vegetable seeds, which can allow the common people to harvest more fruits, and can also improve their lives in a sense.

Behind her house, you can plant a little rapeseed, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., and then put them into the thick soup as vegetables. Thinking of this, Shirley feels a little sad. There is no frying pan at this time, and cooking is just a thick soup. Soup or something, she finds it very annoying.

Is fried shrimp with cucumber bad?Can't tomatoes and eggs?In the end, there was no similar frying pan, but she hadn't pulled out one until now. Every time she gave her some clothes that she couldn't wear out, what a mess, wouldn't it be nice to give some pots and pans?

Shirley has already planted the seeds for things like building a territory and developing the economy, and the rest is to watch Kong Ming and Ning Guang's operations, and she has no better way.

What, you said you want to plant red flags all over the world?Just kidding me again, is such a productivity still a red flag?Even the blue flag can't be planted. If you want culture without culture, and governance without governance, just rely on your own army to transform the whole world. Wake up and stop dreaming.Without an economic foundation, everything is nothing.People who can't even eat enough to eat will care what banner you are.

As she was about to board the carriage to leave, Xue Li looked at Zhuge Liang who was seeing her off, "Sir, I will trouble you about the territory."

"Miss, don't worry, with me here, there won't be any problems with the territory."

After finishing speaking, he approached Shirley and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Miss, it will take time for us to consolidate and develop. Although the people have not clearly resisted, it will take time to support your rule. So This time you are negotiating in the imperial capital, please try to delay the time."

"Well, Mr. Kong Ming, I'm not very good at negotiating. Do you have any tips? Give me one too."

Hearing what his lord said, Zhuge Liang smiled and placed his feather fan gently on Xueli's little head, "Where do you need a kit to negotiate with them, and you can come here as you please, but you have already started to develop, and let those People know what is the demeanor of a big country."

As soon as she heard the demeanor of a great country, Xue Li's eyes lit up immediately, she immediately understood what Kong Ming meant, she nodded heavily and said, "I know what to do."

"Miss is so smart, naturally I don't need to worry about it, then I wish you a happy time in the imperial capital."

Seeing Shirley board the carriage, and Fuya nodded to each other, they both understood what they wanted to say, and watched the carriage slowly leave.

"Miss stayed here for a short time, and left again. I still want to visit her more."

Heidie Lias watched the carriage leave reluctantly, and met Shirley's eyes several times, which made the leader of the intelligence department feel empty.

"It's time to go back. The lady has tasks for the lady, and we have our jobs. Don't let the lady come back and find that her territory is still a mess."

After finishing speaking, Zhuge Liang thought for a while when he saw that Lias still had a look of reluctance, and then continued: "You are not reluctant to miss Miss Fuya's craft. If you have the time to learn how to cook by yourself, don't you?" better."

"Hey, Kong Ming, you are wrong. Knowing well is smart, and it is a virtue not to tell the truth..."

The voice of the words gradually dissipated in the air as the two gradually moved away. In the carriage, Shirley was lying on Fuya's lap, and a bare hand was gently kneading her smooth forehead.

This is the only way for Xue Li to feel comfortable on the bumpy road. Of course, she also likes to lie on Fuya's lap very much. Anyway, since she is not tall, it is just right for her to lie down like this.

"Well, this time I'm going to the imperial capital, and I have to trouble the princess, but I can just ask the emperor about the dark magic group."

"This time, Miss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to live in the princess' mansion. I believe those nobles will try their best to keep you away from the royal family. Similarly, they will prepare a residence for you in the noble district."

Watching my young lady humming comfortably with her eyes closed while pouring cold water on her expectations.It also caused Shirley to open her eyes in displeasure.There is still a little bit of confusion in the red eyes.

"They were so resistant to me before, but this time I turned upside down, but they just held their noses and endured it? It shouldn't be. Doesn't this put them too aristocratically?"

Those nobles were very against him last time, and now they have made the principality like this, can they bear it and arrange a residence for themselves?

For Fuya, who knows the nobles too well, she nodded decisively, "The nobles can't wait to keep you as far away from the royal family as possible. Once the troops in your hand join the royal army, it will be the most important thing for them. Therefore, they will never allow you to maintain such a good relationship with the royal family as before. Especially Her Royal Highness."

It was impossible for the two princes to see that their sister had such a powerful foreign aid. Even if they knew that this sister would not compete for the throne, they still would not allow such a situation to happen.It's just that I didn't say this sentence, which made my lady embarrassed.

"Well, in this case, the attitude of the two princes is very important, well, it doesn't matter, anyway, I don't plan to talk to them, after our counterattack against the orcs, we don't need to worry about them anymore. Ahhh ..."

The bump of the carriage made Shirley's joints involuntarily turn to the depths of Fuya's legs and waist.Make a whining sound.And the exhaled breath made Fuya's face even more flushed.

"Yes... I'm sorry... I'm force majeure."

Although it was only a small moment, she swore that she really didn't stay too long, really not, her snow-white long hair scattered on her cheeks, shoulders and back because of getting up anxiously, her red pupils brought He looked at the flushed Fuya anxiously and restlessly.

"No...it's nothing, it's a problem with the carriage. I...I know about it, no...no, I mean, it's just as long as the lady didn't hit it."

"Hey, no, no, if it weren't for my sister, I might really be knocked down."

Shirley scratched her head, although she noticed that Fuya's face was a little flushed, but she didn't think much about it, her eyes looked at the receding scenery outside.

"This is the first time I have walked on land. I heard that I will pass through the Sunset Pass. I am quite curious about the grand pass."

Hearing what Xueli said, Fuya suppressed her beating heart and told her daughter the story about the setting sun pass.

Unrest in the North: Chapter 44 Life in Ordosburg

Fort Odos was as lively as usual. On the crowded streets, people bought all kinds of daily necessities from the shops directly operated by the lord.This made some prisoners of war who were assigned here feel novel.

In their impression, the shops directly operated by the lord are basically expensive goods, especially those necessities of life, which can almost drain the blood from their whole body.

The middle-aged man, he once promised his wife that he would go back alive. This time, because he took the initiative to lead people to surrender at the end of the battle, he didn't make things difficult for him. soil of.

This is also to protect him and his family. If he is released directly, it will kill him, and it is also promised here that his family will also move to Ordosburg in the future.

This is the capital, no matter how you say it, it is definitely one of the centers of the little lord's many territories, and being able to live here is already the greatest gift to him.

However, when these people came here, they discovered that life here was completely different from what they had imagined.Every businessman wears clean clothes, and those fabrics are beyond their imagination.

They also wear cloth shoes or leather shoes on their feet. In their home, a pair of such shoes is considered pretty good.I usually wear straw sandals, or even bare feet.

"Hey, look at that woman over there, she actually put on boots, isn't she afraid that the lord will trouble her, that's what nobles can wear."

Seeing a beautiful girl walking down the road wearing long boots, some patrolling soldiers even turned a blind eye to this, which made these people even more strange.What the hell is going on here?Don't nobles care about this?

Don't those soldiers care about it?If the lord finds out about this, he will be beaten to death.Could it be that no one cares about this place after the lord has left?

The answer is obvious, that is impossible. A man who was hung under a street lamp because of theft told him that even if the lord is not here, there are people who manage this place.

"You guys, don't gossip there, there's no fuss about it, our little lord doesn't care about the people's clothes at all, in her words, if you have money, wear better clothes, warmer clothes, and if you don't have money, wear clothes It’s warmer, more casual, and if you use clothing as a class barrier, it’s too cheap.”

Blinking and blinking, these prisoners of war couldn't understand, even the Aalborg locals who explained to them didn't understand. Other lords have various restrictions on the people, but their own little lords don't have so many things.

"Damn, that person is too rich, how much is a big bag of salt?"

"Not much, you can buy it with dozens of copper coins." Frightened by the fuss of the young prisoners of war, he jumped back a step, feeling a little ashamed of himself, and stood back.He continued angrily.

"Don't make such a fuss all the time. This place is different from yours. Your lord is kind. The price of salt is extra here. However, it is said that in order to prevent people from deliberately buying salt, the amount of salt that can be purchased each time is limited. , and private sales are not allowed, once caught, it will be severely punished.”

"Heavy punishment? How heavy is it?"

The young prisoners of war were a little curious, if such cheap salt was sold, wouldn't it be a big profit.

"Well, don't be curious about this. People who thought so before should have started to grow grass on their graves."

Shrugging indifferently, in the words of the little lord, once someone sells salt privately, the salt that can be supplied to them will be reduced, and the price of salt will increase, which is also to protect their property.

"By the way, don't think that you can sell it secretly, and don't be lucky. There are clear regulations in the territory. If someone reports a person who sells illegal salt, it is found to be true. The reporter will get half of the salt seller's salary." Family property, yes, you heard it right, it is half of the family property, not half of the salt money. The other half is directly confiscated."

Seeing that these people wanted to refute, this man directly interrupted what they were about to say, "Don't say anything, in case you can't survive, the tax burden in our territory has been reduced to [-]-[-]%. High-yielding seeds. In addition, after the busy farming period is over, the lord will let us build various facilities, such as water conservancy and roads, which are all real wages. If you can’t live here, you can only blame yourself for being lazy .”

Blink, blink, does such a life really exist?By the way, the little lord still has a lot of troops to support, so the daily military rations for such a huge army must be a huge expense.She can still reduce taxes?

"So, you all should pay attention here. It is said that the little lord is still the inheritance of a god. Although the god doesn't know what to do, if you speak ill of the lord in the territory, you don't need soldiers to come and arrest you, and the people can directly Beat you to death. And the officials will let you know what it means to shoot ten arrows in the back but consider it a suicide judgment."

"Ah, this... this is also... well, the prestige of the lord is really unimaginable."

"Hmph, good to know, be careful here, let's go, the officials in charge of arranging for you should wait impatiently, this time the newly reclaimed wasteland was originally for the adults to plant fruit trees, but the lord is kind enough to share it with you Now, let’s plant it well.”

"So, how do you know so much, even the purpose of those lands?"

It's not that they doubt it, but that this kind of thing shouldn't be a secret or something, why does it feel like everyone knows it.

Seeing these prisoners of war who came over and looked at him curiously, the man rolled his eyes and sent them over, "Are you really stupid, we reclaimed those wastelands, can we not know, and when reclaiming wasteland, But there will be wages, one silver coin per acre of land. I earned several silver coins alone. I made two new clothes for my wife and children."

Speaking of this, the man also looked proud. For the sake of his family, he worked desperately to reclaim wasteland, and directly reclaimed several acres of fertile land. Even the officials were full of praise for his work, and even set a special example. , gave him two more silver coins.

As soon as he got the money, he made two new sets of clothes for his wife and children.Seeing his family's happy appearance, he was not to mention how happy he was.

Is it so arrogant here?A group of prisoners of war seemed to see hope. Although they were prisoners of war, they were treated as civilians, which was agreed at the beginning.If they live here, it won't be long before they can catch up with their lives.Live the good life?

"Greedy? Think about it? Then follow me quickly, and plant high-yielding grains earlier, which will also allow you to change your lives earlier. As for your family, the lord has not negotiated, she will have a way."

Unrest in the North: Chapter 45 The Hope of the Prisoners of War

"Yo, Uncle Minglang, you are going to the ground."

The slightly older man, who was carrying farm tools and was about to go to the field to cultivate, turned his head to look at the sound, his face was familiar, he should be the prisoners of war who were assigned here two days ago.But the name really can't be called out.

"Yeah, the weather is fine today. Go to the field to have a look, water it, and pull out the weeds by the way. You boys should hurry up too. It's a bit late for you to plant. If you don't hurry up, the harvest will be very bad." I can't guarantee it."

The voice is a little old. Although this uncle is not particularly old, he has already passed the prime of life. If he is older, some nobles will use various reasons to drive them away.

It is absolutely unacceptable for the lord to consume food instead of providing labor.However, here, the little lord should not be able to do such a thing.

Although the young man still had the name of a prisoner of war at this time, the surrounding villagers did not reject them because of this, but gave them a lot of help.

The place where they live now was originally a warehouse, which is now vacated as their temporary residence.As for the future, they will work hard to try to build a house of their own as soon as possible.

In the future, they will have to take over their families. When the time comes here, the family will guard the cultivated land, and with the odd jobs after the busy farming season, life will be better than before.

In the past few days, they saw that some women would go to work in the textile factory run by the lord, and earn some money every month when they were in charge of food.It is said that several canning factories will be built here in the future, and many workers will be recruited.They are all places where people eat and pay back their wages.Life here will not be too good in the future.

"Brothers, I'll go to my field to have a look first, you guys rest first."

"Let's go, let's go and have a look. Today's weather is so good, it's a good time to sow seeds."

Several men who were former prisoners of war filed out of the house. They each had their own arrangements, but the first thing they did today was to plant seeds in the fields, and sow all the remaining fields.

"Brother Li next door and I borrowed farming cattle. I have to say that the little lord is really generous. Every village has preparations for this farming cattle, and it also allows the people in the village to raise them during busy farming. Help plow the land when you are here. This is much better than other nobles."

For other nobles, all the livestock in the entire territory belong to the nobles, especially the oxen. If you want to use oxen to plow the land, you can, then you can spend money to rent them. Where do you think the little lords are? As long as they are from the village People, the cattle used in the cultivated land can be used at will, the only requirement is to raise these cattle well.

Take this village as an example. When the last lord was here, there were only two or three cattle. Now there are about a dozen of them. Of course, most of them are calves. In the words of the village chief, when these cattle grow up This will allow the village to cultivate land faster.It also allows more people to leave the fields and go to other factories to do odd jobs.

"I'm going to lead the oxen, but as agreed, I'll plow the land first, and then I'll give it to you later. I'll go to the city to see if there are any odd jobs, so I can do odd jobs after work."

"Okay, you go to do odd jobs. If I'm free, I'll help you look at some cultivated land, but it's okay, the small open space behind our house, you have to give it to me, I want it Plant vegetables, and then bring them to the city to sell.”

If we talk about other places, the vegetables grown in the village can be pulled to the city, unless it is very close to the city, otherwise it is a fantasy, but here there is no problem, the wide road, a round trip only takes more than an hour, Enough if they go to the city early, sell vegetables for a day and then come back.If you are lucky and are surrounded by some canteens, it will be even more perfect.

"Well, I borrowed some chickens from the village head, and I can get some eggs in the future, and the village head said that after I have raised enough money for a while, I can buy all these chickens, and then I can sell them. Meat and selling eggs."

The young man saw that several of his seniors had arranged for each of their future paths without knowing it. He was so stupid for a while. During the time when he came out with him, you have already Think about what to do in the future.What about him, what should he do.

"Just follow me to do odd jobs honestly. They all have their own skills. You don't know anything, and you don't want to be troubled. Just let a few seniors help you take care of the fields."

"But..."

"Hey, what's wrong, the tax rate is five to five, what are you afraid of, when the time comes, give some food to the seniors, it's fine."

When one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, isn't the [-]-[-] ratio of food rich and surplus?You can earn some money outside, and then sell some food.The money is not coming fast enough.Saving money to build a house is not something that can be done quickly.

Hearing what the senior said, the young man finally nodded and agreed.Full of longing for the future.Thanks to that little lord, because of her appearance, the future is full of hope.

The little lord, who was full of gratitude, once again saw the suffering of the people under the rule of the nobles.

The carriage was walking on the bumpy road, and on both sides were the people who had fled due to the war.Looking at this bunch of dirty and bitter people, Xue Li seemed to have something blown into her eyes.

"Sister Fuya, it turns out that there are wars not only in our area, but also in places far away from the northern border."

Looking at these people, Fuya could only sigh slightly. Now that the royal family is in decline, the lords from all over the world are even fighting for their territories, plundering population, wealth, land, and frantically merging with surrounding territories.As for the people under their rule, they don't care at all.

However, she didn't say anything, because the young lady didn't need to say anything by herself now.He just quietly stayed by her side, watching the series of refugees outside.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I am strong enough. They can't defeat me. Otherwise, the people under my rule would be the same as them. Therefore, my strength is still not enough. In order not to be bullied by others, I must continue to develop. It develops until no one dares to bully me."

Shirley's words made Fuya scratch her head, isn't that enough?You are already a tyrant in the northern border, well, you go ask, who dares to bully you in the northern border now.
