For degree 3 there are either three real embeddings or one real embedding and one complex pair. The respective Minkowski bound for ideal classes are
92​∣Δ2(L)∣​,9π8​∣Δ2(L)∣​.
(1)
Under the given discriminant bound they are at most 92​45​<2 and 9π8​45​<2. Hence every ideal class contains an integral ideal with positive integer norm strictly below 2, so with norm 1. The only such ideal is OL​. Therefore
hL​=1.​
