Aridoli was so bullied by Lorist that she forgot about the settlement, and left the Rock Castle in a hurry in the afternoon to return to the Dina family territory in Dremke Province. According to her younger sister Fenna Gallie, their younger brother will study at the Nicole Academy for three years, until he awakens his fighting spirit at the age of 16 or 17 before going to the Dawn Academy. This is what Lorist previously designed for the children of the Norton family. Unexpectedly, Aridoli remembered the road and used it on her younger brother.
As the female knight and acting owner of the Dina family, there are many affairs in the territory, and Aridoli needs to go back to sit in and manage it. After all, this is a new territory, and it is easy to cause problems, such as those new territories who sabotage their work or sneak in to occupy the owner. It's not uncommon, so Aridoli couldn't stay in Rock Castle for a few more days. It's just that when she went back, she took a carriage instead of galloping on a horse when she came here. This made Fenna Galli who saw her off feel very strange. She didn't see her for only one morning. Why did my sister look so tired and unconscious? Looks drowsy...
However, Aridoli inspired a new idea for Lorist, and he finally found a good way to appease his four concubines. So he ordered Genorio to arrange the room next to the study as a bedroom, called the lounge, and then quietly brought a few concubines to have negative distance contact and in-depth communication, and finally put the concubines on the same level. Princess Sylvia calmed down the faint dissatisfaction hidden in her heart that had been dominating Lorist.
Alas, I have made a great sacrifice for the safety of my house. Lorist sighed. During these days, Fennagalli, Diliana, Daisy and Maria were going around like a lantern every day, which didn't give him any free time at all. Perhaps these four concubines intentionally took revenge on Lorist for his love and connivance with Princess Sylvia because of jealousy. Lorist could only postpone the time to deal with official business until after afternoon tea...
Daisy and Maria went into battle together today, and it took Lorist a lot of effort to get them done. I don't know if Fennagalli and Diliana will join hands tomorrow to demand rain and dew. It's a headache, it's always like this, when one problem is solved, another new problem arises. Lorist now believes that the monogamous marriage system in his previous life is actually the greatest protection for men. I can be regarded as extremely talented, but it is exhausting to deal with four concubines. What kind of life are those who have tens or hundreds of harems? Lorist thinks that there is a high possibility that the heads of those masters are all green...
It's all the fault of Princess Sylvia, who is obviously an upright concubine, but now she is acting like an affair. If I arrange the days well and take turns accompanying me every night, I won't let my four concubines oppress me like wolves and tigers. Just thinking about Princess Sylvia's fragile girlish mentality now, Lorist felt that she shouldn't be stimulating her. In fact, Princess Sylvia was a little overwhelmed. Lorist would not give up his four concubines for her sake, nor would he give up her for four concubines.
This is not to say that Lorist is a playful man who is false to Princess Sylvia. The main reason is that Princess Sylvia came too late, and all four concubines were in front of her. Lorist couldn't do ruthless things, and he had to take responsibility for what he did, and he had to treat them fairly, so he created so many troubles for himself.
Fatty Shi was leisurely tasting the wine in the wine cabinet in the study. He was one of the very few people who knew the name of the lounge. The secret passage from the lounge to the back castle was connected by several rooms he ordered to open, so that Lorist's four concubines could meet Lorist without having to go through the central hall in front. , avoiding the situation of being gossiped by too many people. It's just that he was very dissatisfied with Lorist's inefficiency.
"Your Highness, you are more than half an hour late today."
"Well, I'm sorry." Loris pulled the bell rope by the wall.
Genorio pushed the door open and came in: "Your Highness, please give me instructions."
"Genorio, make me a cup of Mycos."
"Okay, Your Highness." Genorio hurried away.
"Aren't you going to have a glass of fruit wine?" Fatty Shi came over with a bottle of wine.
"No, thank you, the more you drink this stuff, the thirstier you become." Lorist waved his hand, rejecting Fatty Shi's proposal: "Is there anything to do today?"
Talking about business, Fatty Shi put down the wine in his hand, turned around and picked up the folder he was carrying with him: "There are several important things to deal with. Your Highness, this is the reorganization plan of the Sea Legion submitted by the commander of the Sembawood Army , basically according to the guidelines of your copywriting."
"Oh, doesn't he have any dissatisfaction and objections?" Lorist asked.
Fatty Shi shook his head: "No, Your Highness, on the contrary, the commander of the Sembawood Army was relieved, he told me that he couldn't hold on anymore, and he couldn't stand the burden of 58,000 people in the Marine Corps on him. He himself also felt that something was wrong, when he had to decide where a dozen small offshore fishing boats went fishing, he felt that it would be easier for him to take the boat out to patrol the sea, instead of sitting in the office every day to make overall plans Arranging which ships to transport and which ships to fish is becoming less and less like a legionnaire."
"Well, so we rescued him from those cumbersome affairs." Lorist took the plan handed over by Fatty Shi and read it intently: "A cruise fleet consists of six Thunderbolt warships." , consisting of four fast cruising warships, four large ocean-going schooner supply ships and twelve medium-sized fast frigates, with a staffing of 3,483 people, and the total number of two cruise fleets is 7,000 people. The defense battalion and four frigates of the North Sea Fleet on Lovas Island have 3,200 people, as well as the sailor battalion and five training warships in Niujiao Bay. The North Sea Fleet has a total of 61 warships and a staff of 11,008 Twelve people. Very good." Lorist nodded.
"Your Highness, the commander of the Sembawood Army believes that those supply ships and frigates were originally merchant ships. If they want to modify the bronze cannons, they need to be specially modified and reinforced. Otherwise, they will not be able to withstand the vibration when the bronze cannons are fired, and cracks will appear on the ships. And the dangerous situation of falling apart." Fatty Shi reminded.
"I've already considered this point, and will allocate a special fund to refit those warships." Lorist looked at the plan for reorganizing the sea corps in his hand and said, "The cruise squadron of the Haneyabad Islands will also be Assigned to the North Sea Fleet, the twelve warships also need to be refitted, the personnel will be selected and reorganized, and they will still exist as a squadron."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"The official titles of the North Sea Fleet were changed to Admiral, Commander, Captain, Chief Mate and Charge Captain, and Samba Wood became the first admiral of the North Sea Fleet."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will issue a letter of appointment tomorrow." Fatty Shi replied.
Lorist turned another page: "Here, separate our family's ocean-going merchant fleet from the passenger fleet. We only need to master the ocean-going merchant fleet, and the passenger fleet will be contracted out to others. Maybe those The nobles will rely on their personal connections to open a few more sea routes, and we just wait for the dividends. Also, our family controls the ocean-going whaling fleet, so there is no need to hold the offshore fishing grounds in our hands. Let those nobles and rich people It is much better to pay for the establishment of fishery chambers of commerce than to go fishing by ourselves. We can get dividends and taxes from these chambers of commerce, and the market will be active because of the joining of these chambers of commerce.”
After talking about the reorganization of the Marine Corps into the North Sea Fleet, Fatty Shi took out another document: "Your Highness, this is the document regarding the expiry of the term of the Governor of the Haneyabad Islands, Hiked, and the Commander of the Island Defense Corps. The term of office of Molo Singh and Deputy Commander Willie Kelsang has also expired, what should we do? Should they be allowed to stay for another term?"
The first phase is five years, time flies so fast. Lorist thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, bring them back together with those family knights and civil officials whose term of office has also expired, and they cannot be allowed to live overseas for a long time. Governor Xi Kede asked him to go to Shirowas Island Taking over the position of Governor of Hansk, Baron Hansk was transferred back to the family territory. As for Morosinger, isn’t the Second Guards Army short of a regiment commander? One position. The rest of the family knights and civil officials whose terms have expired will be arranged by you."
"But Your Highness, who will take over the post of governor of the Haneyabad Islands?" Fatty Shi asked.
"Do you still remember Boris Steward? In the past few years, he has been in charge of the administrative affairs of the original family's territory. He has worked hard and worked tirelessly. I will confer him an honorary baronet at the New Year's celebration at the end of this year, and let him go to Haneyabad The archipelago served as governor for two terms, and when I came back ten years later, I canonized him as a territorial nobleman. The same family knights and civil officials were transferred to the Haneyabad archipelago for two terms, and the salary was doubled.
There is no way, the Haneyabada Islands are isolated overseas, and they can only use generous remuneration and expectations of promotion to attract people to take up the post, which is also a way out.
"Which aspect of the family's political affairs will Baron Hansk be transferred back to?" Fatty Shi asked again.
"Aren't we re-planning the rectification of traffic and road facilities in the Northland? Let Baron Hansk take charge of this important matter. This is related to the further development and prosperity of the Northland. I am relieved that Baron Hansk is in charge. .Hey, what are you talking about..."
Fatty Shi sneered, this is simply blatant revenge, isn't it just that the voice of opposing your marriage with Princess Sylvia is a bit louder, and it is used to pull people down from the position of governor and let him take charge of North Korea. Supervising the construction of underground roads and traffic facilities, but Baron Hansk's popularity has never been very good. Relying on himself as an old man of the Norton family, he sells his elders in front of newcomers like Fatty Shi who followed Lorist to the Northland. To be honest, after he was appointed as the governor of Hilovas Island, the conflicts in several administrative departments within the family were much less.
Fatty Shi thought about it and thought it would be better to let Baron Hansk go to the wilderness of the Northland to blow some wind and eat some soil to learn some lessons. He has no obligation or need to seek justice for him. Who told him to treat Lorist? Marriage pointing fingers and making irresponsible remarks. Lorist didn't mind expressing objections alone like Director Speer, but it would be a big mistake to gather a large number of family officials to object together. To Lorist, that was not opposition, but coercion.
"It's nothing, itchy mouth." Fatty Shi lightly concealed his disdain for Lorist's view of revenge on Baron Hansk, anyway, the two of them knew it well, so there was no need to point it out: "There is one more thing, first The Guards Corps has been formed, Lord Baron Berunek has brought the First Corps to the Golden Ridge Fortress, El asked him if it is time to come back."
"Well, let him come back with the guard battalion." Lorist picked up Genorio's cooked Max and took a big sip: "By the way, this time I'm going to let El go to the Chasseur Legion as the deputy legion Commander and Corps Commander, as Josk's deputy, Reddy as the commander of the guard battalion, and Pat as the deputy commander, what do you think?"
"I don't care about the guard battalion." Fatty Shi was very measured: "But I have no objection to Er going to serve in the Chasseur Legion. You are finally willing to let him out."
Lorist smiled: "It's not that I'm reluctant, the main thing is that I use it smoothly. You two are my most trusted friends, and you are now a baron, so I have to let El go out and make some contributions to catch up with you." You, lest you be fooled in front of them."
"What's the matter? I'm so busy every day that I don't have time to make out with my wife. I'm so tired that I just go home and go to bed. It's not like you. You spend the day in the lounge and don't do business..." Fatty Shi despised Said: "By the way, there is one last thing. The deputy director of the engineering department Sang Ben sent a report that the Grand Duke's Mansion in Roaring Bear City has basically been remodeled and decorated. I hope that you can take the time to go and have a look. If you are not satisfied The place where there is still time can be rectified immediately. You can arrange this yourself, I don't care. Let's go first, there are still a lot of things waiting to go back... "
During dinner, Princess Sylvia asked a question that made Lorist break out in a cold sweat: "Lock, have you noticed that Fenli, Anna, Daisy and Maria have become more beautiful during this time, The skin is more radiant and more delicate. I asked them how they did it and they would never tell me, do you know why?"
Of course I know, isn't it because I nourished and irrigated it... But before Lorist could think of how to answer, the four concubines sitting at the bottom were already laughing together. Glaring at them fiercely, signaling them not to go too far, Lorist smiled and said to Princess Sylvia: "Maybe they are lazy to sleep, I heard a saying when I was in Morente, beautiful Every woman sleeps out, and getting enough sleep can make a woman's beauty last longer."
"It's no wonder that sometimes I don't see them in the morning, and when I go to see them in the afternoon, I often find that they are still sleeping." Princess Sylvia felt that she understood the mystery of women's beauty, but then she became distressed: "But Locke, I don't understand why they are so good at sleeping, I can't fall asleep after I wake up... "
They slept because they were too tired in the morning. Lorist wiped the sweat from his brow and replied, "Of course you are different, my dear. You are a gold two star, and they haven't awakened their battle qi, so it's not easy for you to be energetic." Asleep. By the way, Sylvia, can you go to Roaring Bear City instead of me, which is the former Gildusk City in the southern part of the Northland. The Grand Duke’s Mansion there has been renovated and decorated, and we will get married there , live there. I hope you can go and see if there is any dissatisfaction that you can ask them to correct."
"Then can't you accompany me?" Princess Sylvia asked expectantly.
"No, I'm going to the eastern part of the Northland. I have to go to the Blade's Edge Mountains, and I have to go to Beihai City. I really can't get away. So I can only let you take a trip. After all, this is where we will live in the future. I hope you can choose a good place for me." Lorist spread his hands to express his helplessness.
"Okay, then I'll help you out." Princess Sylvia's face clearly showed disappointment.
"What about them?" Sylvia looked at the four concubines.
"They will also go with you." Lorist immediately said, "We will all live together in the future, so they will also go to choose the other courtyard where they want to live. You go there and come back together."
Just let me take a good rest during this time, being squeezed by them is miserable enough.
Princess Sylvia nodded: "Okay, my dear, we will go and return soon."
"Uh... it doesn't have to be so fast." Lorist paused: "There is another thing, there are many manors left by former grand dukes and nobles in the south, and you used to choose one there, and the manor in the future It belongs to you, all the output belongs to your own income, lifetime, but not hereditary. Sylvia, I chose Sakura Ridge Manor for you, you should go and see it too."
"Ah..." Before Princess Sylvia answered, the four concubines were already screaming happily. This was really an unexpected surprise. Those who were reluctant to accompany Princess Sylvia to the southern part of the Northland were already a little impatient, and rushed forward to kiss Lorist with their arms around her.
"It's alright, alright, you've had enough trouble, let's go." After finally driving the four concubines aside, seeing Princess Sylvia pouting angrily and sulking, Lorist hurried to comfort her It took a long time for her to stop being jealous.
I can't live through this day, it's really troublesome to have too many women. Lorist let out a long sigh and collapsed on the chair.
