The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

After more than half a month of sailing on the Vulli River, Xia Zuoyi adapted well, and the three beasts and brown sugar also had a good tolerance.

Because the driving was smooth, there was no seasickness.

Xia Zuoyi even once saw Xue Tuan stand up and paw on the side of the boat with his front paws, looking down at the fish jumping out of the river, with his tail flicking behind him, looking curious.

The fleet is approaching the Anas Empire.

Judit brought a stack of carefully selected clothes, and said to Xia Zuoyi softly, "Lord, it's time to change."

Xia Zuoyi, who was sunbathing in a seat wearing a loose shirt and overalls for the sake of coolness: "...Can't I put it on later?"

The little lord shrugged his brows, his expression was rather pitiful and hot.

The answer is of course no.

Judith politely refused.

——How can the lord of Designia appear in the port of the Anas Empire in disheveled clothes?

The dignity of the nobility is—even if the weather is hotter, you must button up to the top, wear a waistcoat, a strict coat, and boots meticulously.

Xia Zuoyi had no choice but to follow the responsible butler Judit to the cabin to change clothes.

——A soft blouse woven with fine linen, black trousers with a waist, the waist is stitched with dark brown fabric, and the outside is tied with cross thin belts, with an inconspicuous transition, and a thin waist.

On the feet are leather shoes and boots that expose the ankles, visually elongating the legs.

As for the coat, it is a short cardigan suit with a thorn rose badge pinned on the right chest of the suit and a silver chain underneath, which is refreshing and unconventional overall.

But no matter how elegant and decent it is, after wearing it, there is only one word, hot.

The post-May weather has gotten to the point where you can sweat.

Xia Zuoyi stood on the deck enjoying the wind blowing in the river. Finally, when the fleet slowly slowed down, she saw the distant imperial port and the crowd.

Tosi Cavendish specially accepted from the king the task of welcoming Designia at the port.

He drove away the idlers staying in the port in advance, cleared away the unsightly ships, and lined up the armored knights on the shore, only waiting for Designia to severely dampen his spirit and destroy his spirit. prestige.

Suppressed at the very beginning, let Designia understand that a small lord in the empire can only be slaughtered.

Tosi came early and it was hot.

The standard aristocratic attire in long clothes and trousers made him sweat profusely, even if the servants kept fanning him beside him, it didn't help.

Not to mention that the knight was standing on the shore of the port wearing chain mail, his whole body was wrapped tightly, only his face and hands were exposed, and the sweat was dripping on it, almost to the point of unconsciousness.

But once they fall down, they can't afford it, and they will definitely be held accountable by the Marquis.

It didn't take long.

Just as Tosi was pacing impatiently by the port, Grand Duke Achiayoli arrived.

Although he was the king's illegitimate son and even a marquis, Tosi did not dare to put on airs in front of the Grand Duke.

He was jealous of the other party, but he could only hold his nose and go over to say hello honestly.

Why did the Grand Duke Achiayoli come here?

Orville was dressed in simple clothes, looking at the river with his hands behind his back, with a focused expression.

He didn't bring many people, only his personal subordinates and followers, and Robert was one of them.

Orville didn't like Tosi, and he was always too lazy to answer his questions, and Robert often did it for him.

Robert: "Master Marquis, the Grand Duke came to the port to pick up Lord Designia as a guest at the mansion and stay there for a while. The Grand Duke is responsible for all the arrangements of the Lord Designia in the empire."

"This is not appropriate." Tosi said with a stiff face, "Your Majesty ordered me to receive..."

Orville looked at him coldly: "Your Majesty, I will speak for myself."

Tosi's face turned green and white in an instant, extremely ugly.

This is not the first time he was refuted by the Duke of Orville without giving him any face.

After all, in the Anas Empire, the Achiayoli family has enormous power.

Orville even inherited the title of Grand Duke at a young age. He is highly valued by the family, and even His Majesty will give him three points of face.

To put it bluntly, an illegitimate son of his is not qualified to show his existence in front of Orville Achiayoli.

But Tosi, an illegitimate son, can make the king put him on the bright side, which means that he still has a lot of ways to please people, and he understands who can't be offended.

So Tosi forcibly suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and when he wanted to speak to Orville in a friendly manner, Robert suddenly pointed to the distant river and shouted: "Grand Duke, Lord Designia's fleet has arrived!"

Tosi subconsciously turned his head to look——

——The fleet flying the thorn rose flag high broke through the sparkling river and came to the port. The dazzling sunlight seemed to coat the entire fleet with a layer of dazzling gold.

Flocks of waterfowl circled and flew around, and there seemed to be an eagle's chirp in the sky.

The next moment, the waterfowl scattered and flew high suddenly, as if a dynamic picture was slowly unfolding, directly jumping into people's hearts, making people want to sigh involuntarily.

Countless ships came through the water and slowly lined up after approaching the port.

Fortunately, in order to give Xia Zuoyi a warning, Tosi drove away all the ships that were parked at this port in advance, otherwise it would still be a problem to keep stopping.

Many people are sighing.

However, such an astonishing and shocking scene made Tosi's expression ugly and he didn't know how to describe it. The housekeeper tried his best to reduce the sense of existence and dared not touch his bad luck.

Finally, Designia's fleet lined up in the port.

The long plank was put down, and two rows of soldiers appeared on both sides of the ship under the leadership of Fernandi and Walker. The red and black undershirt and silver armor protected the important parts of the light and thin new-style armor. It is more imposing.

Tosi bit the twitching soft flesh on his cheek, forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and was about to speak when he saw a half-sized black panther jumping out from the deck.

Immediately, three huge ferocious beasts also crossed the springboard to the ground suddenly, causing a burst of exclamation and panic.

The people around kept backing away, the knight held his weapon tightly, and because Tosi got closer, the blood on his face disappeared and his lips trembled because of the sudden fear of the beast.

When he dodged back in panic, he accidentally bit the flesh near his mouth with his teeth, the pain made his face distorted and funny.

Orville's face remained unchanged, and he even wanted to take a step forward.

In the end, he was stopped by Robert, whose face was also pale—Grand Duke, haven't you seen the sharp teeth and claws of a beast? !

The briquettes yelled at Brown Tang, as if educating a disobedient child, Brown Tang stopped, turned around, and hid beside Xue Tuan.

This is entirely because when the ship was docked at the port, the hull was unstable. Brown Sugar was lying beside the briquettes chasing after the raised tail with black background and white stripes. As a result, one of his paws slipped and he gnawed on the fur.

At this moment, Xia Zuoyi slowly walked off the wooden plank.

Fernandi and Walker led two columns of soldiers and followed closely behind.

Samuel did not follow, and stayed on the ship to wait for orders. The soldiers on the other ships did not land either. The gangway was lowered, and several soldiers were assigned to watch on both sides of the ship.

And the two rows of soldiers following Xia Zuoyi alone compared the knights brought by Tosi.

Although he was a young boy, he was tall, long-legged, and beautiful. Xia Zuoyi was still thinking about which nobleman the Anas Empire would send to receive him, but he didn't expect to see an "acquaintance" after he came down.

"My lord, long time no see."

Xia Zuoyi completely ignored the startled Marquis, and nodded at Orville, "Are you here to arrange?"

Orville: "Please come to my mansion for a short stay."

"it is good."

Although Xia Zuoyi was a little surprised, she would not refuse. Living in the mansion of a grand duke would save him a lot of trouble.

Tosi stepped forward with an ugly face: "Designia, it's me..."

The big golden lion happened to be lying in front of him, and with a flick of its tail, it almost hit Tosi in the face.

Tosi took two or three steps back quickly with weak legs, and the butler held his arm.

Facing Xia Zuoyi's puzzled expression, he was about to speak again, but Orville suddenly put his hand on Xia Zuoyi's shoulder, turned around, and walked away.

From a distance, he heard Designia asking who he was?

Orville: Never mind.

Tosi: Shit.

…………

Tosi Cavendish dropped a lot of things after returning, not to mention for the time being.

After Xia Zuoyi was properly arranged by the Duke, he sent someone to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to find Boris.

He came earlier, and there were still eight days before the Queen's birthday dinner began.

Xia Zuoyi intends to fully lease the port where his fleet docks, and prohibit others from entering the port. This port is an industry under the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and it is a good time to discuss with Boris.

"What do you want?" Boris asked.

Xia Zuoyi: "Naturally, it is business. The nobles of the Anas Empire should not be short of money."

Boris was puzzled: "Business?"

"There is no store in the Thorn Chamber of Commerce in Wangcheng, what are you going to do? What's more, doing business should have nothing to do with leasing the port..."

"You'll know then."

Facing Xia Zuoyi's insistence, Boris nodded in agreement.

The next day, the port where the Designia fleet was stationed changed.

The shore where the boats docked was dragged and beaten by many soldiers to build simple stalls. In front of each stall was a conspicuous wooden board, on which were written the items to be sold, their names, prices, etc.

Lemon sugar, rose sugar, and syrup wrap the cut fruit on a wooden skewer, and use syrup to draw various shapes on a smooth chopping board...

Fashionable and beautiful women's ribbons, hats, novelty ornaments...

Put the dried rose petals into the jar, then add salt, honey, etc., stir evenly, and seal it.

After two hourglasses, open it and pour out the excess water, then add sugar and stir to seal it. The fermentation time is ten to fifteen days, and it can be taken out after the fleet sails to the Anas Empire.

The marinated rose sugar is placed in a small bowl, the color is bright and attractive, the air has the aroma of roses and the sweetness of sugar.

It seems to be more popular than lemon candy.

Xia Zuoyi ordered someone to prepare bread, and spreading rose sugar between two slices of bread was an irresistible delicacy.

Of course, the price is even more prohibitively expensive.
