Lord of Rot

Chapter 265: The Porcupine Baron who is very popular with ladies

Li Qi got a pen and paper and asked Hawkwood to write a letter.

He also carried a fire seal with him.

A raven from Porcupine Castle flew away with the letter.

"I think there will be a reply soon," Hawkwood said to Reacher.

Li Qi: "I hope so."

Before preparing to set off, Li Qi arranged for people to quarry stones to build a headland crypt.

As long as the money is enough, people will not find it hard to work. If the money is too much, what does it mean to be a cow and a horse?

Otherwise, even if they are whipped with a whip, people will not be willing to work hard.

Mutual benefit always creates more value than mere exploitation.

However, there is a premise here, that is, Baron Reach has the final power of interpretation. When faced with a group of workers who may simply want to take advantage, or a group of management who only wants to exploit, he can directly determine the outcome.

For example, some discerning people can see that they are taking advantage, but they have exploited reasonable loopholes. Li Qi can simply convict him of infringing the owner's property without having to follow the rules.

Generally speaking, he doesn't want this to happen, but it will always happen.

The way to make a rule remembered by others and never dare to be touched is to wait for the first person to touch it and then demonstrate to him the consequences of the crime.

Li Qi never worried about giving his people too much money and what to do when they became rich.

The only thing he was worried about was that there were too few goods from Porcupine, and what would people do if they had no place to spend their money.

Choosing not to spend money and save it is not an option.

"You can also go shopping in Donggang City this time and see if there is anything you can learn from."

As long as money circulates in the Porcupine Territory, for Li Qi, it means that the money in his left pocket is put into his right pocket.

After arranging the affairs, Li Qi took his retinue and a few cavalry and set off.

Baron Sanchahe Fort also went into battle lightly, and everyone rode fast horses and set off towards Donggang City.

If the Porcupine had not sent four mercenaries to clean up the High Demon Island, Li Qi would have even wanted to take a boat to Donggang City, which would definitely save a lot of time.

"Perhaps after a period of time, when you have more money, you can consider buying a few more boats."

Finally, Donggang City appeared in front of us.

The huge town is like a giant beast. Li Qi, who has been to Iron Stone City and Burning City, could not help but sigh when he saw Donggang City.

too big.

And this is different from those two towns. Donggang City is a port city.

As nobles, the two of them encountered no obstruction at all when entering the town, and soldiers who had been prepared for them took the initiative to lead the way after seeing them.

Li Qi guessed that the number of floating population in Donggang City was at least hundreds of thousands.

The rich people in Dongxia are probably all here.

"It will take a long time for the porcupine collar to develop to this extent."

But it's not entirely impossible.

He was full of confidence in this.

Led by the golden soldiers, they came to Roaring Castle.

Roaring Castle is built in the city and looks like a part of Donggang City. The entrance to the castle is an urn structure with arrow towers on both sides.

After entering Roaring Fort, the two were arranged to go to different rooms to rest.

Li Qi indeed felt exhausted after traveling continuously.

After taking a simple bath and having something to eat, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

He didn't even eat last night's meal. After briefly freshening up, he left the room. A familiar red-haired figure caught Li Qi's attention.

Li Qi walked over with a smile on his face: "Good day, beautiful Miss Evanjielin!"

How could he not be happy when he saw the red rose? This was his secret to getting rich.

Red Rose was startled when she was suddenly greeted. She turned her head and said with a smile: "So he is my knight."

Li Qi's glib tone in the letter was directly revealed by her.

But Li Qi was thick-skinned and didn't care at all.

"Are you waiting for someone?"

"There's a tea party today," she said.

Red Rose turned to look at Li Qi's side face. She just felt that Baron Porcupine was very different from the first time they met after more than a year.

Seems more confident?

Perhaps it was because his status as a lord had brought about some changes in his temperament.

"Your Porcupine soap is a big seller." She decided to say something.

She never took the initiative to talk to other young nobles like this.

It probably had something to do with the soap recommended by Li Qi, which gained her a lot of favor, or it might be that the other party always used a weird way when writing letters and chatting with her, and was not as serious as other aristocratic young people.

Like Philip Cavendish.

Li Qi's heart moved. He was just thinking about how to ask Hong Qiangwei to help carry silk goods, but she didn't expect that she would bring it up first.

"The Porcupine brand is about to have a new product, maybe you will be interested in it."

"What new product?"

"A kind of clothing made from extraordinary biological materials." Li Qi slightly exaggerated the origin of silk: "It is a moth as big as a cow, and its wings can flap It produced colorful powder, as if stars were falling. I accidentally got this moth, but unfortunately it was already dying at the time."

"But it left a few cocoons. I used this cocoon to make a fabric that is far more delicate than velvet, and named it silk. Wearing silk clothes can keep your body hydrated, and you are not afraid of the sun and ultraviolet rays in summer... OK Well, let’s not mention ultraviolet light for now. You have to know that this material is very precious and scarce.”

Hong Qiangwei took a small step to the side with her right foot. She put her hands behind her back and turned her body sideways.

The red hair spreads out like a waterfall, and as the body rotates, it all falls softly on the shoulders.

She changed from standing side by side with Li Qi to looking at Li Qi sideways and said, "I will charge a fee this time!"

"Miss Evanjielin, you must have misunderstood. This is just a small gift." Li Qi sighed and said, "I only got a little bit of silkworm cocoon, its value is comparable to gold."

He spread his hands and said, "When you give someone a gift, you can't ask for money to accept it."

"I was just joking, and I was looking forward to the gift you mentioned."

Evan Jielin did make a little joke with Li Qi just now, and Li Qi's reaction also surprised her. Other nobles were worried that she didn't want enough when they gave gifts, but Li Qi thought she wanted too much.

But this also proves what Li Qi said about silk being precious.

I don’t need you to give expensive gifts, because you will not be richer than me, but I will cherish your intention to give me the most precious things.

She secretly thought that this might be the reason why she had a good impression of Baron Porcupine.

"Good day, Evangelion~" A lady came over.

"Good day, Lola" Evangelion responded.

"Who is this...?" She looked at Li Qi.

"Good day, ma'am," Reacher introduced himself: "I am Reacher Clarence, Baron of Porcupine Castle."

"Sir Qi Li!" She was suddenly excited and her voice was a bit sharp: "You are Sir Qi Li, I like you."

"Huh?" Li Qi suddenly felt that he had encountered this way of speaking somewhere and it was very familiar.

"Soap!" she gasped.

Li Qi immediately asked: "Is Sir Jochen okay? We fought side by side."

If I guess correctly, she is definitely the wife of the Red Rooster Knight.

Lola nodded quickly: "He praised you countless times, saying that you are a powerful knight. How do you know that Jochen and I are..."

She was looking forward to it.

Li Qi replied seriously: "Sir Jochen has mentioned you in front of me countless times, especially when he was drunk."

Of course, you were drunk and said you had body odor and wanted to buy soap from me.

Not a single word of praise was uttered.

There is no need to tell the whole truth, and there is no benefit in destroying the relationship between husband and wife.

Lola was very moved after hearing this. She blushed slightly. She complained but her joy was about to overflow: "He will talk nonsense. I will settle the score with him when I get back!"

It's to give him benefits.

Li Qi secretly said: "Johen, not only did I not betray you, I also helped you. How should you repay this kindness?"

Then several more aristocratic ladies came.

After learning that the person in front of them was Baron Porcupine, they all gathered around him.

"Lord Li Qi, does Porcupine brand soap have a new fragrance?"

"Sir Li Qi, your Porcupine soap smells great after I wash my hair."

Li Qi's heart moved and he said: "In the future, Porcupine Brand will also produce shampoo to keep the hair richly scented."

"Really?"

"Great!"

Don’t worry about when it will be made, just paint the pie first.

On the other side, many men passed by and couldn't help but sigh when they saw Li Qi being dominated by a group of noble ladies and ladies.

"He's very good with women."

"Well, I'm half as popular as I was when I was younger."

The others looked at the man with puzzled faces: "Who are you!"
