Turn into Earl Lolita
Page 21
"These battleships are very powerful. If you don't have experience, it may be difficult to command them. You should be more careful."
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, she still accepted Yue Yun's concern, and also for her self-confidence, she didn't think that just six first-class sailing battleships would make her helpless.
"Thank you General Yue Yun for your reminder, I will be careful."
He has short, sassy hair, and even though he always smiles, he still can't hide his awe-inspiring temperament. He is dressed in a gorgeous red and black dress, with a blooming purple rose hanging on the collar.He raised his hand, waved a few times to Yue Yun behind him, and then walked towards the ship.
"Well, how on earth did you confirm that I am Yue Yun? I don't seem to have introduced myself."
"Hahaha, General Yue Yun, you haven't discovered until now that the only person summoned by the lord is a male?"
Hearing Li Huamei's words, Yue Yun took a deep breath. After careful calculation, he is really the only man up to now. Is this a distortion of human nature or a corruption of morality.
"Tell everyone, these warships have been brought out to sea. By the way, send a message to your lord. Let me tell you about the Orc Navy in the north. I guarantee that none of them will appear on the coastline of our Earl of Ordos. .If you want to completely seal off the coastlines of the two territories, you need at least three more battleships of the same level."
Even so, when Li Huamei came, she already knew from Shirley what her main goal was to come here. Clearly, by the way, open up the sea trade route.
Spices from the elves, exquisite clothes, fabrics, and even a lot of luxury goods need to be purchased, and the dyes from Ordosburg and food from the mainland are needed there, as long as they can get through there. The business route, then my lord will not have to worry about money in the future.
Before Yue Yun could speak, he saw Li Huamei slowly boarding the bow. Even in the dark, he seemed to be able to see that dignified woman standing on the bow, looking down at the port below.As the sails on the ship were raised, the six battleships that had been quietly parked in the port finally sailed into the darkness.
########################
In Aalborg, Shirley was lying quietly on the bed. Fuya, who was pinching her legs with both hands beside the bed, asked with some doubts about her lady, Li Huamei, who came here to serve her.
"Miss, do you really trust that woman named Li Huamei? Are you not afraid that she is a spy sent by other nobles?"
"Yeah... How is it possible? It's not that I look down on those nobles. Even if Li Huamei came to them in person to recommend herself, their dog eyes can't see the slightest advantage in her."
I don't know if it's because being pinched is very comfortable, or because she is happy to draw Li Huamei to herself, Xue Li has always had a faint smile on her face.
"This makes you look down on those nobles, at least they can see one of Li Huamei's strengths."
"Huh? I'm a little curious, what can those insect-like nobles see?"
"My lord, haven't you noticed that Li Huamei has a different sense of beauty? Isn't this a great advantage for the nobles?"
Taking a deep breath, he was speechless.Looking at Fuya with a smile on her face, she really saw and understood those nobles clearly.
"All the six warships are given to others. Miss, you are generous enough, but please be careful. If she betrays her, we don't have the slightest tool to check and balance. As a lord, you still need to pay more attention to this."
"Well, I know, I will be careful in the future." She couldn't say that it was the character she summoned, and her loyalty was immediately full.There is no need to worry that she will escape with the boat.
"Miss, as long as you understand." She squeezed a few times vigorously, and even patted the slender legs to relax the leg muscles.After everything was over, Fuya asked Xueli to rest earlier, and she left first.
When she finally heard that Fuya was leaving, although Xueli couldn't bear it, she still tried her best to behave calmly and nodded, motioning for her to leave.
At this time, she just sat up with a grunt. This time, her ten consecutive twitches were not only for Xiang Feihu Li Huamei, but also another big magic weapon - the spy satellite.
This spy satellite is not sent directly to her side, but directly to the sky, in space, so that it can work normally when it is summoned by itself.
Although the area of the map is a little small, it can cover her entire territory and several surrounding counties. As for the sea, it can cover at least 200 nautical miles.In this way, when facing the orc navy, she can also remain invincible.As for why, it's not because she can not only see the spy satellite, but the characters she summons can also share information.
With such a weapon of war, she has nothing to worry about. Unless she really can't fight, those enemy troops are scum in front of Kaituhang.
At this time, Xue Li seemed to be lying on the bed, but she had already focused her attention on the distant sea. The six battleships led by Li Huamei were sailing on the water.
Before she left, she found merchants who traveled by sea and bought a chart from them. She also saw it at the time, but she couldn't understand that kind of simple chart, but in Li Huamei's eyes, it was enough. .
Taking advantage of the night to go out to sea this time, Li Huamei also wanted to get acquainted with the surrounding sea conditions as soon as possible, so as to prevent future battles from being at a disadvantage in battles due to unfamiliarity with the surrounding sea conditions.
"Raise the sails, adjust the sails, pull up the buoys, the helmsman controls the direction, and we will head north tonight."
Although the first-class sailing battleship looks very large, the ship is full of supplies and artillery, and the space left for people to live is not spacious, but as the captain, there is still a spacious office.
After waiting for everything to be stable, Li Huamei returned to the captain's room, opened her own chart, and carefully looked at various places on the map in the dim light of the fire.
Her first goal was very simple, which was trade. After her lord got the battleship, she wanted to use it as the first line of defense against the orcs going south, forcing the orcs to detour to the Earl of Ordos from other places.This prevents the Earl of Ordos from fighting on two fronts.
However, she did not expect to use these warships as transport ships for ocean-going trade. As long as such a huge warship can smoothly go back and forth to the mysterious Lavati Island in the west, countless gold coins will come. in her arms.
"This sea line is the safest and the farthest. If you want to go back and forth before the orcs go south, and sell all the supplies on hand, in terms of time..."
Thinking carefully about the issue of time, the distance is still a bit far away, and it is only a month before the orcs go south. If she can't come back in time, it will really trouble the adults.
Since trade cannot be carried out on Ravati Island, can we change places and conduct trade at the mainland port near Lavati Island.
Pointing his finger on the map again, he moved a little bit along the sea line, and finally saw the most suitable port on the mainland.
"Is it Cuili Port in the Principality of Friedland? I don't know how the trade of this port is. Is it possible for me to make a fortune here?"
Sailing on the ocean is boring, especially on a sailing battleship without any modern equipment, it is extremely boring.A large number of soldiers either drink some wine during the break, or play cards and open dirty jokes during the break.
On the ship where Li Huamei was, the crew discussed more about how beautiful the captain was.Of course, they didn't dare to say more about the deeper jokes. If they got angry, it was not impossible to throw people into the sea to feed the fish.
After several days of drifting, Li Huamei finally appeared in Cuili Port, and when these six huge warships with purple rose flags appeared in the port, they attracted the attention of many forces.
Such a huge ship is extremely rare, and there are even a large number of port citizens rushing here to watch these huge ships.And when Li Huamei got off the boat slowly, she attracted the attention of many men.
Li Huamei, who was already used to these gazes, didn't pay attention to them at all. Instead, she calmly observed the surrounding situation.
"I'm Li Huamei. I'm the captain of these six warships. If you want to trade here, I don't know what procedures are required."
Pulling the man who was staring at him in a daze to the front, his beautiful eyes stared closely at the man who was having difficulty breathing.
"Ah... you don't need anything. Cuili Port is known as a free trade port. Any ship can come here for trade, but it also has an impact on trade items. If it is food or weapons, you'd better sell them. For the noble lords here. They'll like it better."
Knowing the news she wanted to know, Li Huamei took a few crew members and walked around the port. The first was to check the market conditions, and the second was to wait for the nobles here to come in person.
It is impossible for the manager here not to know that such a huge warship appeared in the port. He will definitely come over immediately, so she doesn't need to worry, as long as the other party comes over, the two sides can discuss it.
Sure enough, she didn't make her wait too long, a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat hurriedly trotted towards her from not far away.And there was a man following her, if Shirley was here, she could recognize it, this was Count Theodos who was driven away from Fort Ordos by her.

Orcs Southward Invasion: Can Chapter 12 be hired by me? (Co-published in two chapters)
"Excuse me, are you the knight Li Huamei?" The slightly fat man in a gorgeous robe had an arrogant expression on his face. Even though he knew the other party's identity, he still asked again in an arrogant tone.
Li Huamei couldn't help frowning at the other party's tone, but as an experienced captain, she had also been in contact with these so-called nobles and knew exactly what they wanted.
"This is Li Huamei, who is also the captain of this fleet. We sailed here, hoping to conduct business and trade here. I don't know if there is anything we need to pay attention to."
"Oh? Trade, what are you going to sell here, and what are you going to buy?"
He glanced lightly at the short-haired woman in front of him. Different from other women's weakness, what he saw in this woman was a kind of tenacity.Just like the beautiful general in the imperial capital.
"If you want to trade here, you need to pay attention to many things."
"We're new here, so we naturally need to pay attention to a lot of things. My lord, look at our ships. There's a lot of cargo in one ship. If it can be filled, then the profit..."
Some words don't need to be said too clearly, because most of the time, everyone is a smart person, and the noble man understands what the female captain said.
"Your ship should not only be used for transporting goods, but also contains a lot of weapons and ammunition. It must take up one-third, or even half of the space. I'm right."
Li Huamei also immediately understood what the other party meant, pointing her simple and elegant finger at the looming ship in the distance, with a faint smile on her face.
"My lord is really right. You know what you know at first glance. After all, the orcs will go south soon. Naturally, some weapons are needed to go on a sea ship. What is needed there is exactly one-third of the space."
"Haha, as the manager here, I am very clear about this kind of thing. When you trade here, be careful not to overdo it. Everyone is an equal businessman, so don't make it so clear. By the way, you have to sell everything?"
"It's some grain. We bought a lot of grain from Odosburg and Aalborg, and we plan to sell it here, and then buy some spices to transport to the north... Um, did I say something wrong?"
Interrupted by a sudden outburst of shouting, Li Huamei looked in surprise at the man who was about the same size as him and dressed in a brown-yellow Earl's costume standing behind the manager.
"Haha, you don't know, this is Earl Theodos and the former lord of the Earl of Ordos. He was just attacked by the lord of Aalborg and lost his territory. He came here specifically to seek help."
"It turned out to be Earl Theodos. I heard that you are a well-known lord in the northern region. I originally said that I would have a chance to meet you, but I didn't expect to see you here."
A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and with a little smile on her face, Li Huamei stretched out her hand and shook hands with Earl Theodos vigorously.
"It's all a false name, otherwise I wouldn't have lost the city and lost the territory by a little girl's surprise attack. This time I came to the Principality of Friedland to hope that the Duke can uphold justice and let that little girl who doesn't talk about martial arts Girl, suffer a little."
Speaking of Shirley, Earl Theodos still gritted his teeth. After all, it made him so ashamed, which is unacceptable for a nobleman.
"I see that your ship, Knight Li Huamei, is also very large. I don't know if it is possible to cooperate in the future. If you can help me regain the territory, I can give you a small fief in my territory, so that you can also have one there. How do you feel about where you landed?"
This is, was he poached?Or by the enemy?If she hadn't received professional training, she would have laughed out loud. Even so, she still couldn't hold back the corners of her lips.
"With all due respect, if I remember correctly, most of the counties in the north are independent counties and are not under the control of the Duchy of Friedland. They are almost directly under the royal family. The Duke of Stugalbo, there should be no Let me give you a way to uphold justice, do you want the duke to send troops directly?"
Surprised by his sudden thought, the Duke of Stugalbo is the lord of the Duchy of Friedland, a powerful duke with a vast territory.
Will he go to a powerful earl who has just occupied the territory for the sake of an earl who has lost his territory?No matter how you think about it, it's a little unreasonable.
"Are you surprised, Captain Li Huamei, because you are strong enough, that's why I told you that it's impossible for that little girl from Aalborg to get into the eyes of the Duke of Stugalbo."
"This is for... Ah, I'm sorry, I'm just curious. I don't want to inquire about this kind of thing. It's just that it's not impossible for me to help you deal with Aalborg. As the hired party, I don't want to." Just want to listen to your empty talk."
Looking at the shrewd eyes of the other party, coupled with her apparent reluctance to inquire further, Earl Theodos's confidence in being able to hire the captain inflated even more.
"The price of six warships is not low, sir, don't look down on our transportation capabilities."
"Haha, of course, of course, of course, I know that forty gold coins per ship is just the price for this battle. I can pay the deposit first, but I hope you can show up on the battlefield in time when we are fighting."
Forty gold coins for a ship, Li Huamei couldn't help but be shocked by the richness of the earl. She had conducted a price survey before, and forty gold coins was a huge sum of money. Even the lords of many earldoms may not necessarily There are forty gold coins.
Li Huamei didn't agree immediately, she just quietly looked at the fat earl in front of her, and she took out so many gold coins at one time just to let herself help him regain the earldom of Ordos, which was wrong no matter what she thought.
Indeed, Theodos didn't just want to take down the Earl of Ordos. After seeing Li Huamei and her fleet, he was frantically thinking about how to take Li Huamei under his command, and the best The only way is to turn her into one of his own.
These forty gold coins are really for her, no, it is for her to step on the edge of the knife. When a large number of gold coins fall into her hands, as long as she keeps her and asks her to land and fight, even if it is more money How, when he gets the Earl of Ordos again, he will naturally have a solution to her problem.
Block the port, detain all six ships, and then reveal a little bit of content, so this woman will not obediently come to the trap he arranged for her.
"Since your lord is so generous, I will accept it, it's just the deposit..."
"Haha, Captain Li Huamei is so happy, I can't be stingy, the deposit will be calculated as half of it, I believe you will not disappoint my trust, and you will be able to appear on the battlefield in time."
Half of the gold coins, that is 120 pieces, is a huge sum of money, even she can buy a lot of spices without selling the food on the ship.
One gold coin can buy two kilograms of spices, and 120 gold coins can buy 240 kilograms of spices, which are all transported to the north and sold to other places from land.You know, in the mainland, a gold coin can't even buy a catty of spices.A kilogram is calculated as two catties, which is no longer a profit, but a huge profit.
"I said Earl Theodos, what you are doing is not kind, you smashed 120 gold coins, how can we do this deal?"
"Ah? Haha, how is it possible? How can I let you go for nothing when you are making a match like this. I still have some gems at home, and you are very knowledgeable about gems. How about we go there and have a look?"
The management who was left aside showed a slight sense of presence, and Theodos immediately understood the management's thoughts, and led him to his mansion here.
"Miss Li Huamei, if you want to do a good job in business, the boat must be fully loaded."
"That's natural. I'm also a businessman, and the benefits should be maximized."
Seeing the other party being pulled away, Li Huamei's face instantly sank, and she, who had originally planned to continue inspecting the market, immediately changed her direction.
"You guys, take this bag of gold coins to buy spices, and you, immediately go to the trading house run by the nearby nobles to sell half of the grain on our ship, and then quickly buy the spices and salt with the gold coins."
What my lady lacks must be all kinds of spices and edible salt, not to mention that there will be no shortage of salt at the seaside. When I get up early, the origin of salt is mostly salt wells. Cooking sea salt will be a matter of later.
"Understood, we will arrange it now."
After thinking for a while, Li Huamei withdrew her plans to go back to the ship. Even if she went back now, it would be meaningless. Before the orcs went south, it was impossible for these nobles to attack their lord.
After defeating the orcs, the biggest crisis for the young lady is now. What she has to do now is to quickly find out what the Principality of Friedland is planning to do.And the best way, and also the most intuitive way, is to go to the places where the nobles like to go most, and eavesdrop on the information they reveal when they talk.
###################
Here, Li Huamei knew that the nobles in the south were already planning to point their finger at Xue Li, and went to find out the information first, while Xue Li, who knew nothing about it, was currently on the northern defense line, watching the gradually completed defense. position, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Miss, our defense here has been completed according to your instructions. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be adjusted?"
"No need, tell everyone that you have worked hard during this period, let's celebrate together tonight, and then let them go home. Presumably the family members are worried after being outside for so long."
Looking back, Shirley and Antruth, who were very satisfied with the results of the project here, continued to arrange: "I remember we still brought some watermelons, and we cut them today. Let everyone have a taste."
He couldn't help but be a bit taken aback by the arrangements made by his young lady. You must know that this young lady is extremely stingy when it comes to watermelons.Now they actually give away all the remaining watermelons.
"Is there any problem? Now that the project is over, we should go back. Of course, there are so many watermelons left. It's better to eat them here. They can't be transported back. The bumps along the way have to break the watermelons. several."
She was very puzzled by the way Antruth looked at her, but Shirley's attention was quickly diverted to other places. The little girl who almost hit her before was happily surrounding her father, It seems to be saying something.
Unable to restrain her curiosity, she walked over there, and soon walked into the crowd. Although protected by two Valkyries, Fuya was still very nervous, and followed Xue Li closely step by step. side.
"Little girl, what were you talking about just now, why are you smiling so happily?"
"Ah, it's Lord Lord."
