Section 193 Play the piano and talk about love

Mecklenburg's fleet was moored at the port. In addition to the five ships Arrod had vigorously developed, there were also ten ships from Lübeck. Count Lubeck was persuaded by Arrod to participate in the operation. After all, the ports in Lübeckshire were better than Mecklenburg and had developed for a longer time than Mecklenburg. Their ships were better than Mecklenburg in terms of quantity and quality.

"Lubeck's ship has a deep water consumption." Soros glanced at the ship anchored in the port and whispered to Arod.

"We should learn this superb shipbuilding technology." Arod looked at Lubeck's ship with some envy. Although the land area of ​​Lubeckshire is not large, it is even richer than the surrounding territory with excellent ports and developed shipbuilding technology.

"It's very difficult. Although Count Lübeck is a weak noble, he is not a fool. He keeps shipbuilding technology extremely tightly." Soros shook his head. Mecklenburg attached great importance to intelligence. Merchants traveled between various territories and had a lot of information about various territories.

"Forget it, let's find a way to do this!" Aruod waved his hand helplessly. He still focused on maritime trade. As long as he accumulates his first pot of gold through this maritime trade, he will slowly upgrade his fleet with sufficient funds.

"Yes, Lord Duke." Soros bowed to Arod.

"Dou~~." A strong Mecklenburg soldier, holding a horn in his hand, boarded the bow. He puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn vigorously. Everyone watching the port was excited. The soldier's strong and tall figure was clearly a Viking. In addition to being blessed by the priest, this grand occasion of going to sea was basically exactly the same as the Vikings. It inevitably made people feel that the impression of Viking pirates going on a war.

"Huh, it depends on you whether you can succeed." Arod hugged Soros for the last time. The Jewish smart business acumen supported the economic operation of Mecklenburg. After all, Arod, as the supreme ruler, could not manage those trivial finances.

"I will not let you down," Soros said gratefully. As a Jew without a country, it is extremely rare to be entrusted with such an important task in the court.

Yang Fan, the joint fleet of Mecklenburg and Lübeck, set sail. Arod stood in the port for a long time before he got on the horse under the service of his servants and led his courtiers back to Mecklenburg. The lively Mecklenburg port gradually returned to peace. The fishermen still drove their own small wooden boats to fish. Mecklenburg had mature smoke technology. The fish caught by the fishermen would be marinated into dried fish, and a bunch of dried fish hung under the eaves of the fishing house. Special fishmongers bought these dried fish and transported them to the market for sale.

Even more intelligent foreign merchants bought this easy-to-keep dried fish and transported it to a territory in the southern inland where there was no seawater fish. Therefore, Mecklenburg smoked fish became a special commodity. Of course, large-scale transactions require transaction tax to Arod.

The fleet left Mecklenburg with cargo. Although this matter was very important to Arod. Another important thing was placed before Arod. Even Arod's family affairs were also the state affairs of Mecklenburg and the Principality of Mason.

"Oh, it's a headache." Aruod sat on a wooden chair and placed his legs on the table. He raised his head and sighed.

"Cough. Duke?" Webster walked in as Arod sighed. He saw Arod that he was completely unsuitable for his identity as a duke. He didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to pretend to cough and remind Arod.

"Oh, Webster, you're here." Arod stood up, nodded to Webster, and let him sit on the chair next to him.

"Mr. Duke, call me to give me instructions."

"I have one thing that you need to help me with." Arod said to Webster very seriously.

"Oh?" Webster felt puzzled.

As night falls, Mecklenburg is close to the northern Vikan Peninsula. The climate is very cold at night, but when you look up, you can see the stars in the sky. This clear star map can only be seen in this geographical location and a pollution-free environment.

"Your Highness Princess, do you feel better today?" Miss Shirley said to Princess Josie.

Recently, Princess Josie has been emotionally unstable and has a slightly ill body. Miss Shirley, who is proficient in medical herbs, often goes with her. Although Miss Shirley is a pagan, she is gentle and knowledgeable, and is more considerate than ordinary maids.

"No, I still feel physically weak." Princess Josie sat up from the bed. Since she discovered Aruod's little secret, Princess Josie suffered a great blow.

"Your Highness, there is no need to think so much about men and women." Miss Shirley actually doesn't quite understand Princess Qiao Xi's idea. The nobles pursue the opposite sex, and even marriage is unstoppable. At least Miss Shirley's own religion is very tolerant of this.

"But I put all my heart on Arod, and I even believe that our love will last forever like poetry." Princess Qiaoxi fell on the bed, and her hair was disheveled and she cried bitterly, which made Miss Shirley at a loss and could only stand quietly by the bed and wait.

"Dingdong, Dingdong." At this moment, the sound of a santry zither came from outside the window. Because before it was time to rest, the window of Princess Qiaoxi's bedroom was open, and a wooden stick was supporting the wooden window. The sound of Dingdong was coming in through the wooden window.

"What's going on?" Miss Shirley slowly walked to the window. She looked out and stretched out her right hand to cover her little mouth in surprise.

"Lala." A singing voice came out faintly. Miss Shirley hurried to the bed and reached out to push Princess Qiaoxi.

"What's wrong?" Princess Qiao Xi's face was raised from the pillow with rain. She looked at Miss Shirley curiously.

"Your Highness Princess, stop crying, come to the window and take a look." Miss Shirley said without saying a word, helped Princess Josie up from the bed, and pulled her to the window.

"Well, God~." Princess Josie looked out the window at Miss Shirley's instructions. When she saw clearly what was happening outside, Princess Josie couldn't help but exclaim.

"Lala, my cute little baby, you are like the flowers in summer and the sun in winter~~." Arod wore a thick white linen shirt and brown Germanic trousers. He knelt on one knee under Princess Josie's window, holding a beautiful chord, singing in a trembling voice while playing the piano, and several servants were holding torches beside Arod.

"Duke, Lord Duke, here is a little lower." Webster hid in the grass in the courtyard next to him, constantly giving commands to Arod.

"Shhh, don't expose it, Ha Qiu~~." Arod stared at Webster, but the night in Mecklenburg was really cold, Arod couldn't help but sneeze a few times.

"He, what is he doing?" Princess Qiaoxi looked at Aruod in surprise, and said to Miss Shirley with wide eyes.

"Haha, I think this is the Duke who apologizes to you!" Miss Shirley said to Princess Qiaoxi with a smile.

"Hmph, this is so stupid." Princess Qiaoxi snorted from her nose, but she couldn't help but smile.

"Look, what is that?" It seemed that Aruod's trick was not over yet. Several servants were carrying a large wooden table, and the candle circles in the shape of love were lit on the wooden table. In the dark environment at night, the atmosphere became extremely romantic.

"What does this mean? What does this mean?" Princess Qiaoxi covered her heart. Although she didn't understand the meaning of the candle, she could feel the love that Aruod wanted to convey.

"Look, petals!" Miss Shirley's nose sniffed the fragrance. She stuck her head out of the window and found that petal rain was falling from the top of the main tower. At this time, a group of servants were busy scattering the petals in the basket desperately towards Princess Josie's window.
