Chapter 302 The fifth gentle and virtuous woman in the world
Chapter 302 The fifth gentle and virtuous woman in the world
Fifth in the world~!
The fifth gentle, generous, beautiful and intelligent woman in the world~!
After hearing what the little girl said, Lorraine couldn't help but think of a martial arts novel she read a long time ago. There was a master in it who claimed to be the fifth in the world.
This person had carefully calculated this title and was extremely rational. He was not belittling himself, but he was also not modest.
Therefore, that person is quite scary.
When facing a powerful enemy that he cannot beat, he knows that his strength is not good enough, so he will not get mad at all, learn some Japanese melons and radishes, do some spiritual victory techniques, play "Long Live Charge", and go forward to fight.
Will he actively escape in order to fight again...
While he was thinking wildly, he didn't notice the surprise in the eyes of the other young girls.
The four women, Catherine, Adele, Lorena, and Hilmeria sitting in the back, looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Catherine thought for a moment and said very curiously: "No. 5 in the world... Then tell me who are the people ahead of you?"
Melina suddenly flashed her innocent blue eyes and said, "As you wish."
She paused for a moment, then raised her little fingers and calculated seriously: "The first one on the list is Wu Zetian, the empress who took the appearance of a woman and became the emperor of the world~!"
Lorraine felt his jaw make a "click" sound, as if it was broken. If he hadn't reacted quickly and held it with his hand, his jaw bone would have almost fallen to the ground and hit his foot.
face.
When Catherine and the other girls heard this, they all seemed to be struck by lightning and froze on the spot in shock.
After half a day, Catherine finally reacted.
She looked at the innocent and cute little girl who looked like Little Red Riding Hood, nodded and said, "Yes. We have also heard about this person from Lorraine. A woman who ruled a powerful empire in the East."
As he said that, he gave Lorraine a hard look, and then continued: "Then what? Who else?"
Under the gaze of everyone, Milena smiled slightly, then clasped her fingers and continued: "The second one is Empress Catherine. Her words, 'The whole of Europe will crawl on my knees.
feet.' Sounds really great."
Lorraine couldn't help but be stunned after hearing those words full of domineering power. She looked up and saw countless stars shining in the little girl's big eyes, obviously admiring the queen. (Note, it is
Appreciation, not worship~! Because the object of worship is beyond your reach. Appreciation is between people of the same kind.)
Catherine twitched her lips, forced a smile, and said, "Continue."
Melina said immediately: "The other one is my sister, Isabel. She is now doing her best to govern the Almohad Empire and let the people live as happily as possible."
When Catherine heard this, she couldn't bear it any longer.
She turned her head sideways and looked at Leo next to her, and saw that the little ruffian was still lowering his head, calculating something carefully in his plan.
Catherine's eyes immediately pictured the image of Leo, when he grew up, bowing his head under the black whip wielded by the little girl.
She couldn't help but murmured: "My poor little brother~~!"
Adele, however, was not as careless as she was. Seeing that Catherine was still immersed in fantasy, she curiously interjected and asked: "My little Lina, you haven't said who the last one is?"
Melina raised her head, glanced at Catherine, then lowered her head in embarrassment, and said: "The last one is, of course, our eldest princess, the female governor of the Eastern Province, Sister Catherine.
"
Catherine was stunned for a moment and said, "Is there still me in this?"
Milena blinked her big, watery eyes and said matter-of-factly: "Of course. Sister Nicole, you are not only knowledgeable about political affairs and manage the Eastern Province of the Empire in an orderly manner, but you also worked hard to raise Leo.
.She can be called the fourth good woman in the world who is gentle, generous, and shows off her extravagant gifts.”
Catherine looked at Milena's admiring eyes and felt very proud at the moment.
She raised her already plump breasts even higher, and then glanced at Lorraine sideways from the corner of her eyes, which obviously meant: Did you hear that? According to the official investigation, this
Miss is the fourth most gentle, generous, virtuous and virtuous woman in the world. You bastard got an advantage. Even if you have sex, you will laugh out loud. Go ahead and be beautiful~!
Lorraine looked at it and understood. She nodded hurriedly and smiled.
But when he turned his head and looked at the little girl who claimed to be the fifth gentle and virtuous girl in the world, he somehow felt that the little girl with big bright eyes that twinkled did not look like Little Red Riding Hood.
She is the biological granddaughter of a wolf grandmother.
Lorraine even wondered if there was a wolf tail trailing behind her body?
At this time, the little girl looked around and saw that nothing was wrong, so she walked up to Leo, narrowed her big eyes into crescent moons with a smile, and then said: "Leo, we agreed yesterday.
We are going to play in the palace today. Have you forgotten?"
Leo waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, don't you see what I'm busy with?"
Milena hit a snag, but didn't care. She still smiled and said, "Stop being busy. Wouldn't it be better to leave these small things to professionals? Let's go to the palace to play, okay?"
Although she discussed it politely, Lorraine could hear a hint of murderous intent in her words.
Leo raised his head at this time and said angrily: "You..."
As soon as he said this, he saw that Milena had already picked up a rag doll next to her and put it on the wall. Then she clenched her little fist and punched it hard.
There was a loud bang in the past.
Everyone looked around, and they were all sweating profusely.
Leo was also shocked, his face turned white with a 'swipe' sound.
Milena raised her head, stared at her big blue eyes, squeezed out a voice from between her white teeth, and said, "Do you listen to me or not?"
Leo immediately wiped the cold sweat from his head, jumped up quickly, and said decisively: "Milena, we will go wherever you say~!"
Milena snorted coldly, threw away the rag doll in her hand, then turned around, picked up the corner of her skirt, and showed impeccable court etiquette to everyone, saying: "Everyone, you are busy first.
Come on. Leo and I have something to do, so I’ll leave first."
As he said that, he glanced at Leo from the corner of his eye, then hummed, raised his head proudly, put his hands behind his back, and walked out calmly.
Leo looked at it and hurriedly followed with a playful smile.
Everyone looked at the little figures of the two of them walking away, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Luo Linna murmured: "Today...today's children, why are today's children so...why are they so powerful~! Am I getting old? Or are they growing up too fast..."
Adele couldn't help but said: "Poor Leo..."
Catherine was lost in thought: "I am the fourth gentle and virtuous woman in the world..."
At this time, Vera had also finished her meal. Looking at Leo's shadow, she sighed longly and said, "Oh, poor child, he will be a pain when he grows up. Right, Master?"
Lorraine felt the same way at the moment and said: "Yes, Weier..."
When he said this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He immediately turned his head, stared into Vera's blue eyes, and said coldly: "What do you mean by the word 'ye'? Please explain it to me clearly."
~!"
Vera immediately realized her gaffe, took a step back in shock, looked around nervously, and then said: "Oh, I think about it, it will be time for morning tea soon."
Lorraine shouted angrily: "Weier, you have just had breakfast. The sun has just risen. What are you drinking for your morning tea?"
Vera looked at Lorraine's angry eyes, lowered her head, patted her pretty face, and said: "Master, don't worry about such small details."
With that said, he picked up the hem of his skirt, turned around and ran away.
Lorraine was behind her, waving her fists and shouting angrily: "You damn girl, don't run away. Tell me clearly, what does the word 'ye' mean? Weier, you damn girl, don't run away..."
After Vera listened to his words, her petite and plump body instinctively dodged several times, dodging a broom, two books, and a feather duster that flew from behind.
Then he ran away even faster. In just a blink of an eye, he turned around a bush of flowers and disappeared out of sight.
Lorraine was so angry that she shook her fist and shouted angrily: "You damn girl. If you have the ability, don't let me see you today~!"
The girls stood aside, but they couldn't help but laugh.
Lorraine saw it and became even more furious.
He turned around and shouted angrily at Adele: "This is all your fault~!"
Adele was shocked and said: "This... what does this have to do with me?"
Lorraine said: "That's not all. You taught her bad things by showing her those messy books."
Adele saw him venting his anger on her, and immediately rolled her eyes and retorted, Lorena quickly said: "Stop, everyone, please stop making trouble. I'm talking about business."
Everyone froze for a moment. Then the people beside them also tried to persuade them, saying: "Okay, okay, everyone, please stop making trouble. Business is important, business is important."
Adele glared at Lorraine hatefully, and whispered unwillingly: "Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight~!"
Lorraine rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "I don't know who is often punished."
Luo Linna saw everyone sitting down again, and then said: "The things you want me to do have been done. My father will bring what you want after get off work in the afternoon, and I will deliver it to you then."
Everyone immediately forgot their previous suspicions and cheered and high-fived each other. They said: With that account book and careful calculation, you can know the details of Nai'an."
In the afternoon, guessing that the time was almost up, Lorraine and Catherine followed the courtesy and went to visit the Chief of Military Affairs together.
Padres was also very surprised when he heard the news that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to appoint Lorraine as the Governor of Naian. He said to the two of them: "I just discussed the transfer of the Marquis of Maleton with Your Majesty today, and I am still wondering why.
It happened so suddenly. It turned out that His Majesty had already planned it."
He thought for a while and said: "Lorraine, you can go. After all, this is a great opportunity. If you miss it, it will be difficult to get it again. Lorraine regards it as a challenge to himself. Although Nai'an is remote,
A little bit, it's on the border, but it's in a good location and very safe. There are a lot of minor troubles, and pirates appear from time to time, but there won't be any major problems. You can rest assured in this regard."
Lorraine felt a lot more relieved after listening to his words. You must know that Chief Padres has the deepest understanding of the security situation of the empire. Since he said that the problem is not big, then it is no matter how big the problem is.
That's no longer a problem.
Then they chatted with Padres for a long time.
Padres was very interested in Lorraine's concentrated use of magicians, and asked in detail about the situation of the Maple Leaf Danlin defense battle.
Lorraine did not dare to hide his secrets when facing this highly respected veteran general who had fought all his life, and answered everything one by one.
By the time the two of them said goodbye and returned home, it was already dusk.
Lorena had already thrown a thick pile of documents on the desk, and Leo was holding some of them and studying them carefully.
Seeing Lorraine and Catherine walking in, Leo waved the documents in his hand, his face turned red with excitement, and he said loudly: "Boss, this place is full of gold~!"
Lorena was sitting on the chair with her teacup in hand. Seeing Leo being so excited, she said, "Is it as exaggerated as you said? There are so many old guys in the finance department who have been working for decades who can't even notice it. You just looked at three
Did you know everything in just a few minutes?”
Catherine saw Milena present, and in order to set an example for her, she sat down very ladylikely, and then said: "What's the matter? All they see is the data. As long as the books are balanced, it will be done."
Everything is fine, who cares about what’s behind these numbers.”
Luo Linna said: "The big families in Ruman City are full of talents, can't they see it?"
Catherine snorted coldly and said with disdain: "I'm not laughing at them. Nowadays, these noble families in Ruman City, besides being able to play collusion between the government and businessmen, buying and selling by force, when it comes to business vision, they are better than Leo.
It’s all a long way off, let alone compared to Lorraine.”
Luolina smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. Anyway, in your eyes, everything about Lorraine is good."
Leo shouted on the side: "Originally, if it weren't for the boss, how could we have made so much money in Almohad."
"That's right," Adele said at the same time: "Don't forget, Lorena, your wallet was also filled by Lorraine."
Luo Linna stretched out her hand as a sign of surrender and said, "What you said is all right, okay?"
Leo immediately shouted dissatisfied: "That's right~!"
Lorraine pulled up a chair, sat next to Leo, and said, "What's the big discovery?"
Leo flicked the document in his hand and said: "For a territory as big as Nai'an, the tax revenue comes from land tax and trade tax. The commercial tax is very small. Moreover, Nai'an guards the two large forests, and there is actually no wood.
Processing industry. What does this mean?”
Lorraine shrugged and said, "There are many opportunities to make a fortune."
Leo slapped the table and said: "Yes, look at it, the humans in Naider mainly farm, and trade is concentrated on the handicrafts of dwarves and elves. The taxation of the entire Naian is that simple.
Really, what did the governors of Naian do? It was like letting gold coins flow into the Madidome Sea in vain. Look, look, for such a prime location, the tax paid every year
It’s only worth over three million gold coins, these people are simply stealing my money.”
When it came to the end, Leo was so heartbroken that he beat his chest as if someone had taken a knife to dig out his flesh.
As the future heir of the Ruman Empire, Leo has a very strong sense of ownership when it comes to money, and he doesn't care about money at all.
Lorraine thought for a while and said: "There must be a reason. It may be because the humans and aliens in Nai'an cannot deal with it, or it may be that those guys who like to live in caves and woods cannot increase the consumption index."
Leo rubbed his chin with one hand, nodded solemnly and said: "Well, it's very possible, no matter what, this is our opportunity anyway, we can't let it go. I still have many ways to stimulate consumption, hehehehehe...
…”
Leo didn't know what bad things were going on in his mind, and he kept laughing evilly. Hearing this, everyone around him felt terrified.
Catherine couldn't stand it at the moment, so she stood up and walked over, then waved her hand and gave Leo a violent shudder, snatched the document from Leo's hand, and started to look through the document in his hand.
Leo touched his head and muttered dissatisfied: "If you want it, just tell me. It's not like I won't give it to you. Do you need to keep beating people?"
Catherine ignored Leo's thoughts and started reading the first picture seriously.
After a while, Catherine handed the document in her hand to Lorraine, sighed and said: "Leo is really right, those governors of Nai'an are still a bunch of idiots who have not made progress. One hundred
Over the years, there has been no change in taxation in Nai An. For a province as big as Nai An, it’s like taxing in vain.”
Lorraine flipped through the documents in her hand and saw that the taxes paid in Naian over the years had always fluctuated around three million. Even eighty years ago, after the area of Naian expanded, the population counted above also increased greatly.
However, the tax situation has not changed at all, with land taxes and maritime trade taxes still accounting for half each.
Lorraine thought for a moment and then said: "Maybe it's because the alien problem in Nai'an is really serious. After all, the residents in the newly expanded area are all aliens."
Leo said disapprovingly: "Tsk, what kind of reason is this? As the governor, they should solve this problem, and they won't be like this without improvement for a hundred years."
Lorraine was very dissatisfied and thought to herself: Anyone who can become a governor is a talented person. Of course, the problems that Catherine and Leo can see can also be seen by them. Since it has not been solved, it can only explain this problem.
It's very difficult to solve.
Lorraine said to Leo: "Well, this glorious and great task will be entrusted to you. The prosperity of Nai'an Province's economy depends on our Flying Eagle Company."
Leo slapped his chest and said with great pride: "No problem, leave it all to me. I promise to help you improve to a higher level every year."
However, Catherine was dissatisfied. She hit Lorraine and said, "How can you be so lazy? These things are not your responsibility in the future. What's the point of still giving it to Leo."
Leo said comprehensively: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The beginning of our Flying Eagle Company's business development and becoming a large trust group that dominates the world started in Nai'an."
