"Big ...... What do you mean, Grand Duke?" asked a nobleman in a trembling voice.

Zheng Xiyuan smiled and didn't answer, just waved his hand. Outside the door, a powerful armed robot burst into the hall like a whirlwind.

It was destined to be a bloodstained night.

As the beam sword in the hand of an armed robot pierced into the chest of a nobleman closest to the door, the situation was completely clear, and a little brain function was enough to recognize what was happening in front of him.

All the nobles screamed in horror and tried to run out of the door, but the door was blocked by armed robots. Some people have long forgotten the previous etiquette and jumped out of the window. Just when they thought they had escaped and ascended to heaven, they found that Qinghe's sword was swinging at them from afar.

Behind Qinghe, the sniper beam rifles in the hands of a group of sniper-type armed robots opened fire at the same time. The group of nobles fell in a pool of blood in an instant.

And in the halls, the killing continued. The screams of those nobles who brought their female companions resounded through the quiet night. These pampered lords are the opponents of the armed robots, although they are embarrassed to roll and crawl, in a vain attempt to dodge the beam sword in the hands of the armed robots. However, they were quickly overtaken, and the beam sword of the assault armed robot was slashed down, and these nobles who enjoyed all the luxury were cut into pieces of flesh.

But among them, there was also a group of people who were surprised to find that the armed robots who chased and killed the nobles everywhere turned a blind eye to them.

For rice worms that are not used except for eating, drinking, and having fun. Zheng Xiyuan certainly hopes that they will burp as soon as possible. But you can't kill the wrong ones if you have useful materials. Long before preparing to act at night, Zheng Xiyuan asked Qinghe about the past behavior of these nobles.

For those who have strong work ability, even if their character is a little worse, Zheng Xiyuan plans to use it for his own use. As for those who have good character but not good ability. Zheng Xiyuan was not so ruthless that he had to kill them, but planned to give them a sum of money and let them take their families home to live their lives.

So what is dead now is just waste of food and waste of wealth. Zheng Xiyuan was naturally merciless, and directly gave the order to kill all the powerful armed robots.

It won't be long before these people turn into a pile of scraps and scraps. Standing in place, only the courtesans who kept screaming at the corpses and the excellent nobles who also did not look very good.

Zheng Xiyuan raised his glass to them from afar, revealing an aristocratic elegant smile: "I wish you all a pleasant evening." With that, he drank the bloody red wine in his hand, ignored the stunned nobles behind him, and turned to leave.

Gong Yuluo looked at the stumps and broken arms in the court, and a trace of unbearable look flashed in his eyes. But after some struggle, she chose to remain silent. She understood that Zheng Xiyuan's approach was the right one. If these people are not removed, then they will inevitably become a stumbling block to the future rise of the Principality of Yuluo.

Watching Zheng Xiyuan leave, she also followed closely.

Following Zheng Xiyuan to the courtyard behind the palace, Zheng Xiyuan's footsteps stopped abruptly. turned around and looked at Gong Yuluo playfully.

In the distance, Qinghe's majestic figure in military uniform walked behind, and behind him, a group of maids pulled a gorgeous evening dress and respectfully followed him.

Zheng Xiyuan pointed to the dress sassyly, and then pointed to Gong Yuluo, and ordered: "Go down and help her change into it." ”

Don't wait for Gong Yuluo to object. She had been dragged down by the maid with a tough look. Although she is a martial saint, she has a kind heart, so she naturally can't bear to hurt these maids with her martial arts. It was very easy to be pulled down. Before leaving, she looked at the wicked smile on the corner of Zheng Xiyuan's mouth, but she couldn't help but feel a sense of shyness in her heart.

Waiting for a group of warblers, Yanyan's maids to take the palace feathers with flying faces, and go away. Qinghe suddenly asked Zheng Xiyuan, "Are you serious about her?"

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" asked Zheng Xiyuanqi.

"Well, I was abrupt to ask such a question. It's just that in any case, I hope you can be a little nicer to Feather Fall in the future. Qinghe clenched his chest with a fist. Kneeling on one knee, he gave Zheng Xiyuan a knightly salute before turning and leaving.

Zheng Xiyuan looked at his slightly declining back, and didn't say anything, just waited alone in the courtyard, and after a while, he saw Gong Yuluo come out in a dress.

Tonight's Gong Yuluo took off his majestic armor, less heroic, but more unpretentious and soft. In the moonlight, the girl's light and thin figure was wrapped in the white evening dress. With the fragrance of petals in the courtyard, her long black hair was softly spread in the night breeze, and she shyly avoided Zheng Xiyuan's straight eyes, and then frowned and said angrily: "I said that I am not suitable for this kind of clothes." ”

Zheng Xiyuan walked over and made a noble invitation to her: "No, it's very suitable for you." Well, Miss Haraku, will you dance with me?"

"Yes...... Is it?" Hearing Zheng Xiyuan's praise, Gong Yuluo's face turned even redder. Somewhat unnaturally, he said, "I don't feel comfortable with it, but I'm happy to wear this kind of clothes once in a while." So thank you. ”

As she spoke, she put her hand on Zheng Xiyuan's outstretched hand.

When he took Gong Yuluo's hand, Zheng Xiyuan suddenly remembered in embarrassment that he didn't seem to be able to dance.

As soon as the messy dance steps came out, his identity as a white man was exposed.

"Inviting others to dance, but you can't dance, doesn't seem right?" Gong Yuluo looked at his funny steps, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

To Zheng Xiyuan's surprise, Gong Yuluo was very good at dancing, but then he understood when he thought about it, although he had been running around the battlefield before. However, after all, Gong Yuluo was also born in a real palace family. Someone must have taught her about dancing.

There was a teacher who was good at dancing, and Zheng Xiyuan learned it on the spot. Gong Yuluo was very serious, his eyes were staring at Zheng Xiyuan's pace, pulling the hair at the corner of his mouth from time to time, and then reminding Zheng Xiyuan to pay attention to the pace.

But Zheng Xiyuan's children learned very instructively, which is a pity. I almost stepped on Gong Yuluo's foot several times. While practicing for a while, I didn't even learn a fart. The clumsiness of the action made Gong Yuluo sweat in order to avoid his violent steps.

The two of them ended up sitting in the magic fountain in the courtyard without any image. Zheng Xiyuan can be regarded as completely recognizing the fact that he has no talent in this area.

He couldn't figure out how the pretending chance (opportunity) for the other online protagonists who pretended to be professional became a time to make a fool of themselves in his hands.

His deflated face made Gong Yuluo on the side cover his mouth and laugh. Zheng Xiyuan found that although Gong Yuluo had a heroic spirit that was not weaker than a boy, he was very gentle and polite in his behavior. Apparently there was a very good education from the bottom.

After laughing for a while, Gong Yuluo looked up at the night sky, and said with a yearning expression: "The way you looked just now suddenly reminded me that when I was still in the barracks before, my father took the time to teach me to dance, and I often stepped on his feet at that time." ”

Zheng Xiyuan turned to look at her side face. The glow of blue grass flickered beneath his feet, and the faint starlight in the sky. shone on her jade-like face. A glimmer of light reflected in her beautiful eyelids. However, those beautiful eyes were slightly distracted at the moment.

"What, do you remember your father?" asked Zheng Xiyuan, looking up.

"Yes. Gong Yuluo nodded, and couldn't help but recall the bonfire in the camp that year. However, in an instant, the bonfire suddenly turned into a raging fire. In the midst of the fire, the enemy soldiers who killed like evil spirits and their father was covered in blood. Holding his brother who desperately ran away......

Gong Yuluo's face became more and more pale: "I'm a little tired, I'll go back first." ”

She stood up and was about to leave. Zheng Xiyuan's slightly comforting words suddenly sounded behind him: "No matter what happened before, from now on, I will defend you from anyone's harm." ”

Gong Yuluo's shoulders trembled, and he finally trotted away.

In the days that followed, Zheng Xiyuan officially began the reform of the Duchy of Luoyu.

Zheng Xiyuan's current gold coins are about 1.2 billion. This seems to be a lot of money, but it's not a lot to say. Zheng Xiyuan took out 800 million gold coins and purchased 2 million tons of dark iron and a series of construction materials from Xue Ruolan. Another 200 million was spent on it

10 million tons of artificial heptane gold to refine ore. For the transportation of this batch of ore, he used the five 80,000-ton transport ships he had just built.

Although these five transport ships cannot dock in the ports of the Buffy Empire or the Hidden Empire due to secrecy. However, the transportation of the Xue family's caravan to the high seas and the transfer to the transport ship also reduced the transportation distance of the Xue family's fleet by four-fifths. The transport speed has been increased by about three times.

Two days later, the first batch of 300,000 tons of black iron and 100,000 tons of building materials were shipped to the Duchy of Luoyu. The construction of the military factory promised by Zheng Xiyuan is also in full swing.

The first is the construction of the plant. Zheng Xiyuan's delineated factories are located in six plains of the Principality of Yuluo. Twenty-four factories were built for the first time in each place, which were neatly distributed in a six-by-four format to save land area to the greatest extent.

At the same time, Zheng Xiyuan also understands the wise saying that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. In addition to the neat stone bricks paved with roads inside the factory for easy transportation, Zheng Xiyuan also completely repaired six wide roads between the six factory sites and major ports.

These projects undoubtedly require a lot of manpower, but fortunately, the Duchy of Falling Feather already has a large number of idle people at its disposal after the war. Under Zheng Xiyuan's call for a generous salary of 30 yuan per person per day, 600,000 laborers joined the construction ranks.

Zheng Xiyuan was a little glad that he was clever. The Falling Feather Coins he issued within the Principal Empire of Falling Feather were the five thousand money printing machines he ordered to be made by robots in the Principality of Falling Feather the night before the coronation ceremony. Over the course of three days, more than 10 billion banknotes were printed. With more than 10 billion, he also has some confidence in his heart. Otherwise, in the long run, relying on the 200 million or so gold coins in his hand, he really can't support the workers' compensation.

Anyway, he also knew very well that for the current people of the Luoyu Principality, they didn't expect to enjoy a rich spare time life so far, and they just wanted to eat and dress themselves with money. At present, every three days, the Shenyin Empire will transport 100,000 tons of grain. One million tons of grain per month, let alone feeding two million people, is more than enough for 20 million pigs.

So Zheng Xiyuan plans to wait until each household has stored enough surplus grain for them to feel at ease, and then start importing other necessities such as cotton. However, these things are quite cheap on the mainland. Zheng Xiyuan didn't plan to rely on these to squeeze the hard-earned money of the citizens of the Principality of Luoyu. Therefore, the generous wages are paid, but I am afraid that they will have to store in the pockets of the people for a while.

Looking at the head on the banknote, Zheng Xiyuan thought to himself that Lao Tzu's portrait would finally be printed on a country's banknote one day.
