The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

The fact that Xia Zuoyi fell into the water again made the servants in the castle extremely nervous, especially Judit.

Even though Xia Zuoyi changed out of his soaked coat and shoes immediately after returning to the Riding Wind, and only sneezed a few times when returning from the ship to the castle, it still made Judit very angry. nervous.

After he returned to the castle, he immediately asked Yadai to fetch a pack of herbal medicine for colds and boil it.

After Xia Zuoyi finished drinking, she returned to her study and ordered Valker to thoroughly investigate the matter.

The shipyard is now in its infancy, and the boatmen are recruiting again and again, and the manpower is often insufficient.

In the two months since he returned from the Anas Empire, the shipyard has recruited three people in total, all because the progress of building the Riding Wind is getting tighter and a lot of helpers are needed.

The last time I hired was a month ago.

It can be seen that this group of people sneaked into the shipyard and lurked directly for more than a month without being discovered by anyone. They were not exposed until Chengfeng's first sea trial.

——There is no more suitable opportunity than to do it on the vast sea.

If it weren't for the force value of the pope, the grand duke, and the leader, it would be unexpected.

Otherwise, just relying on the boatmen with low resistance ability on the ship is really not enough, that is really bad luck.

Even if he jumped into the sea, it was just to ensure the safety of Xia Zuoyi alone.

Shipyards fill out forms—names, ages, addresses, etc.—before they hire workers.

This is also the rule that Xia Zuoyi has set up a long time ago, just to avoid not having a detailed and clear investigation after something happens.

Under such circumstances, this group of murderers was allowed to sneak into the shipyard.

It can be seen that the participation of some relevant personnel must be indispensable in this matter, and it may be that some nobles or officials related to the shipyard were involved.

And the most important thing is that there were three Saigalots on board at that time.

Samuel said to Xia Zuoyi afterwards - he saw that half of this group of people almost rushed towards the Duke and the leader. Seeing the ferocity, they absolutely wanted their lives.

Xia Zuoyi thought, maybe this gang of thugs was not only targeting him.

Walker did not dare to delay after taking the order, interrogating, investigating, arresting relevant suspects, etc...

Three days later, the detailed ins and outs of the matter were placed on Xia Zuoyi's desk, and the three of them were sitting in the study.

What happened this time can be simply summarized as - the remaining royal family members of the Anas Empire and the nobles in the territory of Designia who were greedy for the huge benefits of white sugar secretly joined forces to plan an assassination.

They are looking for opportunities, one is to deal with Xia Zuoyi, and the other is to wait for the opportunity to kill Orville and Archibald.

And it actually involved a secret operation from the San Aero Empire, but before Valck could interrogate him clearly, he committed suicide one night.

The remaining royals of the Anas Empire had nowhere to go after the empire was divided.

They had noticed before when the royal city was in turmoil—the royal city was blocked, and no one could leave, but this Desinian lord was very special, and the fleet sailed away from the port smoothly.

It was recorded by those who cared for a while.

This group of remaining members of the royal family waited until the royal city was finally unsealed. After they managed to hide their names and appearances and escaped from the Anas Empire, they chose to come to the territory of Designia and managed to reach a deal with this dissident nobleman. .

The original content of the transaction was - their people lurked into the shipyard with the help of the nobles, and waited for the right time to hold Xia Zuoyi hostage and force him to reveal the secret recipe of sugar.

Even if you use any means, if you resist, even if you stay alive, there is no problem.

This dissident nobleman is the mayor of a city. He not only covets the secret recipe of sugar, but also wants to sit in a higher position...

But they didn't expect that the Grand Duke of Achia Joli and Archibald Cavendish also came to the territory of Designia - the murderer lurking in the shipyard originally only targeted Xia Zuoyi.

But seeing that such a good opportunity for the sea trial was right in front of them, and the three of them were actually on board, they couldn't help but make a move any longer.

However, this group of people misjudged the skills of Orville and Archibald, including the Pope, it was no problem to deal with them.

Some of the boatmen were injured in this danger, but not fatally.

Generally speaking, except for Xia Zuoyi jumping back into the sea, nothing major happened.

As for how this dissident aristocrat got in touch with the people of the San Aero Empire—according to the investigation, it was because one of his brothers was the lover of a powerful widow in the Empire.

This widow is also a widow with means, not only raising this lover, but also being involved with a marquis noble...

It is not clear what is twisted and twisted, but it is true that the Marquis and nobleman are thinking about Xia Zuoyi's secret sugar recipe.

When Xia Zuoyi asked the nobleman's name, he was sitting on the sofa combing Brown Sugar's soft hair. He didn't react when he heard Valk finished speaking, until 098 reminded him in the system.

Walker: "The nobleman's name is Gary Phoebe."

Xia Zuoyi nodded lightly.

098 tilted the little stickman's head and saw that the host didn't seem to respond much, so he couldn't help reminding: [Host, Gary Phoebe is Samir Phoebe's father. 】

Samuel Phoebe?

The name is a bit familiar...

Xia Zuoyi frowned and thought about it, and then heard 098 say——[Samille Phoebe is the heroine, the host. 】

Xia Zuoyi suddenly realized, and almost clapped her hands in surprise.

For a long time, he had forgotten that in the distant San Ai Luo Empire, there was a growing Mary Sue.

The description of the heroine in the novel is that she has shiny silver-white hair, rare pink eyes, innocent, romantic, lively and lovely.

Her voice is extremely beautiful, like a clever bird singing, and her face is extremely fair, like the tender petals of the pure white god flower Bellanca...

Xia Zuoyi saw this: "..."

He can't imagine how pink a person's eyes are, pink eye?

Xia Zuoyi also had to lament that the world was indeed evolved from books, and Sha Matt's hair and eye color were synonymous with beauty.

Orville watched him touch the brown sugar and then stopped his hands, his expression obviously distracted, so he couldn't help asking.

Xia Zuoyi followed the prestige, and his eyes fell on the Grand Duke's silver hair and light gray eyes. Before the Grand Duke was puzzled, his eyes glanced at the Pope and the leaders of the chamber of commerce.

——Well, Archibald's blond green eyes are quite normal.

Brown Sugar's thick paw pads pressed against Xia Zuoyi's hand, and he let out a soft groan, and tilted his head as if asking—"Why don't you keep touching?"

Xia Zuoyi lowered her head and pinched Brown Sugar's small round ears, and combed the hair on the top of her head and neck...

Brown Tang's hair was as soft and beautiful as black satin, and his hands seemed to have strong muscles. After enjoying enough, Brown Tang lazily got up and went to lie down next to the coal ball.

Xia Zuoyi took a few clumps of black hair and put them into a square wooden box - all the hairs were saved when combing brown sugar.

There are four other boxes - the briquettes, the snow balls, the egg yolks, and the green balls' feathers.

He has collected since he was a child, and has made many felt toys with needles from the hair that the plush fell off.

The feathers that fell from Qingtuan were dressed into beautiful ornaments, and now they are hung on the head of his bed and on the big wooden frame dedicated to Qingtuan for sleeping.

Xia Zuoyi glanced at the little green dot swimming in the ocean map of the system again, wondering what the glutinous rice balls could allow him to collect.

The cause and effect of the whole matter have been sorted out, and what should be dealt with has also been dealt with.

But there are also those who are out of reach.

For example, the Marquis of the Saint-Aero Empire and the heroine's father——Gary Phoebe.

Xia Zuoyi believed in revenge.

Although the Lord Marquis just sent a spy to find out the news, he was involved in it after all, and Xia Zuoyi would be very unhappy if he let it go like this.

He remembered the plan he was going to implement in the Anas Empire to fight against the king and those greedy nobles——

At this moment, he said to Orville and Archibald: "After the Anas Empire split, the two empires became one."

"The St. Airo Empire also has great ambitions. Before, it was because of the existence of the Anas Empire that there was no problem with each other. Now..."

Xia Zuoyi said slowly: "Aren't you afraid that the Saint Airo Empire will annex the territory of Aqiyori and the Kingdom of Anas one by one?"

The strength of a divided empire will definitely be greatly reduced.

Saigalot had nothing to do with himself and didn't make a sound.

When Xia Zuoyi was packing Brown Sugar's hair just now, Orville curiously asked what it was doing, and Xia Zuoyi asked Judith to bring over the box containing the felt toys.

Sejalot is now picking up one by one to watch.

So is Orville.

But after Xia Zuoyi spoke, he focused his attention, holding a black and white kitten in his hand and said, "Alliance?"

As expected of the Grand Duke who held great power at such a young age, he immediately saw the purpose of Xia Zuoyi's question.

——That’s right, it’s an alliance.

The Territory of Designia, Achia Joli, and the Kingdom of Anas formed an alliance. In this way, even if the San Airo Empire had thoughts about to move, it had to temporarily hibernate and hide.

Most importantly, in the next period of time, Xia Zuoyi did not want to cause any more troubles.

He needs a calm environment to continue developing his territory.

He always has a premonition - when the heroine becomes an adult, that is, when the plot of the novel unfolds, he will definitely meet the heroine Samil Phoebe, and then...

Xia Zuoyi looked at the plot deviation value at the top right of the system interface, it was already 40.00% five.

But it's not insurance.

He needs to improve the progress as soon as possible, and Samuel must go to sea to find new continents and large-scale crops...

Another thing is - if beet sugar is produced on a large scale, it will inevitably introduce a lot of labor.

Once this is the case, it is impossible to strictly guard against the control of secret recipes, so the method of making white sugar is definitely no longer a secret.

Xia Zuoyi never intended to keep sugar for herself.

White sugar, like salt, should be a necessity in people's lives, and the price drop is an inevitable law.

But at least until then, he has a bold plan to implement.

Xia Zuoyi: cheating people makes me happy.
