Chapter 0140: Little Shirley of Horn Academy
"Grandmother, you have eyes that can see through everything. ”
Liszt smiled.
The relationship between him and Levi is not particularly hidden, and it is not difficult for those who want to know about it. At least the Earl must have known about the slave trading plans of the two of them, and as long as the Count wanted to know about the affairs on Coral Island, he could know at any time.
Li Vera looked at Liszt, who was becoming more and more outstanding, and was very dissatisfied: "Liszt, the seafood business of the flower caravan has been done in my Falcon Town!"
"Congratulations to my sister, the residents of Falcon Town can eat delicious seafood. ”
"I will organize the lords to fish the seafood by themselves, although you and Levi have monopolized the seafood market, but the other lords will also organize the lords to fish the seafood by themselves. Your good business won't last long!"
Liszt sat on the chair and didn't mind Li Vera's provocation: "The small town by the sea, of course, can fish the seafood by itself, and they have the right to do so. But Coral Island is so big, not every town is close to the sea, and not every beach has abundant seafood. ”
In fact, the flower caravans no longer struggle to catch seafood.
Work directly with the lords of the seaside towns to catch seafood, which will then be purchased and sold to the city by the flower caravanserais. Each town has different seafood specialties, and the flower caravan has the most complete variety of seafood, which can be bought at a low price and sold at a high price.
When the nobles and commoners of Coral Island gradually got used to the seafood on the table.
Revenues have risen from three gold coins per day to four gold coins per day.
Split the dividends paid to Levi's, as well as the consumption of the caravan, and earn more than three gold coins a day. With the seafood market, Liszt is enough to become one of the richest people on Coral Island.
It's a blistering profiteering.
Livila's eyes are red and her heart is hot, but she also understands that Liszt has confidence - he has already fed Levi. On Coral Island, two people talk the most, Count and Levi. The Earl was Levi's father, and apparently would not rob his son's property, and Levi got another stake and issued a seafood license.
Now no one can take away Liszt's huge profits.
She had no choice but to change the topic bluntly: "You came here early in the morning, what are you for?"
"I'm here to deliver flowers to my grandmother. Liszt smiled and said to his valet Thomas, "Go and get the potted plants from the carriage." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
After a while, a pot of nightshade was carried in by Thomas.
"It turned out to be nightshade. Mrs. Penelope suddenly said, "This is the pot of nightshade I gave you, and you took care of it?" no, it is not the same pot I gave you...... Is that pot of nightshade dead, it's really pitiful, and it still hasn't escaped the end of wilting. ”
"Grandmother, don't be sad, that pot of nightshade is still alive and well, and it is very healthy, far healthier than ordinary nightshade. ”
"What do you mean?" said to Madame Penelope, motioning to her servant, and placing the nightshade on the verandah, "just say anything, Liszt, don't speak to me in such a tone, it will remind me of Melissa." I have convinced myself that you have the shadow of your father, despite the face of Melissa. ”
Mrs. Penelope, whose resentment towards Melissa is still deep.
Liszt has no memory of his mother, and he doesn't know what tone she spoke in before her death, but he can guess that he is a little "tricky" when he speaks, and maybe there is a sense of alienation that is not close enough. This is also something that can't be helped, he is not the original Liszt after all, and he can't invest too much family affection.
So, keep smiling: "The pot of nightshade you gave me is not sick, but just giving birth to an elf worm, and now, the nightshade worm has been born." ”
As soon as the news of the elven worm came out, Mrs. Penelope and Livira were taken aback.
Madame Penelope was heartily pleased, forgetting her displeasure with Liszt's pretentious tone, and praised her grandson fiercely: "Knight's glory, Liszt, you are the luckiest one of the tulip family. Take good care of the nightshade elf worm and treat it as my gift to you. ”
"I am very touched by my grandmother's gift, and I will prepare a wonderful gift for you on your birthday this year. Liszt said.
When I saw Li Vera, I also had to speak.
Liszt, who was not interested in the second middle school girl, had already gotten up: "Grandmother, I have made an appointment with Mr. Frank to meet, so I won't stay here longer, and I hope to have lunch in the castle at noon." ”
"Go ahead, lucky boy, I'll make your favorite raw omelette in the kitchen. ”
......
"Mr. Frank. ”
"Baron Liszt, you look more mature, but you're still as handsome as ever. "Frank, whose hairline is almost at the top of his head, has an ugly red nose," said Shirley, who had graduated from Horn College, and as soon as she came back, she wanted to see Brother Liszt. ”
"Is little Shirley back?" Liszt thought for a moment before remembering that little Shirley was Frank's youngest daughter.
In my childhood memories, little Shirley was his little follower, because the age difference was only one year old, and they were able to play together. However, Liszt went to the Knight Academy, and Shirley Jr. was sent to the Horn Academy by Frank, and never saw each other again.
As for Horn College, it is located on Iron Shoe Island.
Iron Hoof Island is the fief of the Marquis of Bull, he is a sapphire line, the ancestor is the favorite youngest son of the Grand Duke of Sapphire, just an adult, he was named the Earl of the Bull, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Iron Hoof Island was directly sealed as a fief and promoted to marquis.
The Marquis of Bull's family, the Bull Horn Academy, was originally built to train maids for the court.
Gradually, aristocrats, large and small, sent their daughters to study at the Horn College - the aristocratic ladies with the degree of the Horn College were very popular with the marriage of the nobles. Because these celebrities studied etiquette, female celebrity, housework, music, reading and writing in the academy, etc., they were considered to be cultivated.
Of course, not all aristocratic ladies have gone to Horn College, and Li Vera has never been there.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
Liszt always felt that Frank would not leave Shirley in three sentences, as if he was selling him.
"Probably, I have now become the hottest young unmarried aristocrat on the island. He thought in his heart, but he didn't have any idea about Xiao Shirley, the little Shirley in his memory was a fat man.
Frank pitched for a while, but seeing that Liszt did not respond enthusiastically, he gradually returned to the topic.
"Your officers and servants are taking inventory. ”
Five hundred serfs were gathering in twos and threes in an open lot not far from the port. Looking at their appearance, most of them are sick, I don't know if they are sick or seasick.
Galtai and others took the clerical clerks and counted the number of serfs, and calculated the ratio of men and women, as well as the number of craftsmen. Just a rough count, and soon returned to Liszt.
"My lord, there are four hundred and seventy-six serfs in all......
Frank casually explained: "Serfs were brought back from a long distance, and it was inevitable that some people would get sick or adapt to the water and soil along the way, and the fleet initially purchased five hundred and ten serfs, and lost thirty-four. ”
I sighed slightly.
Liszt nodded in approval - he knew very well that the serf trade would inevitably be accompanied by death.
"Teacher Galtai, let the flower caravan cooperate and transfer this batch of serfs to Flower Town as soon as possible. ”
