Duke of Herrington

Chapter 12 Windfall~
"Mia, starting from today, you are not allowed to drink Coke! You will not be allowed to drink until you recover."

"Can"

"obedient!"

"Oh" Mia pursed her mouth, her angry look became even cuter~
It's still early today, why don't you teach Mia about science~
"Have you read the book given to you?"

As soon as the book was mentioned, Mia's eyes revealed panic, and she took three steps back tactically, pretending to have a stomachache, and waved her hands: "I don't understand at all, I just know the words on it, and I faint when I make sentences."

Ted picked her up with a smile, put her on the stool and said softly, "It's fine if you don't understand it, and I can't understand it either~"

"Then let me watch it!" Mia raised her foot and stepped on Ted lightly, acting coquettishly.

"Hey~ I'll teach you something you can understand, and it's very interesting and healthy!" After finishing speaking, Ted searched the system for books suitable for girls around 13 years old.

In order to let Mia realize the darkness of society and prepare her, Ted chose a set of "Hamlet". He had read this book himself and it was not bad, so he printed it out and put it in front of Mia.

"I can understand this book?" Mia looked up at Ted, trying to grab his ear.

"It should be possible~ The relationship may be a bit messy, but I believe that for your smart mind, there is no problem!"

After finishing all this, Ted lay on the bed. He was exhausted these days, but he had achieved results. He could leave the rest to Chris, and he could rest for half a day!
"Clang~clang~"

"My lord, are you there? There are some things waiting for your signature~"

"Yes!" I thought I could fish for a long time, but it seemed that it was enough.

When he came to the office again, Chris was holding a one-meter-thick document in front of his desk.

Ted was stunned. He has been dealing with government affairs every day these days, how could there be so many? "Housekeeper! Where did these come from? Did they pop out from the cracks in the rocks?"

"Well, that's the case. There have been a lot of changes recently, and yesterday, these documents were processed, and we have to review them again." Chris shook his head, and he was also very helpless. The city staff are most afraid of 'change'

Because the butterfly effect triggered by the "change" will make more and more things happen, the original city operation is connected by a fragile cycle, and if a link is broken, it has to be reshuffled.

"My lord, look at this. Most of the capital for the city's operations comes from the income from selling food, and you have distributed food for free, making the recent income zero. And the operating cost has become six times that of the original. This part is now paid out of your own pocket."

"There is also this item, the wages and food expenses paid by the hired citizens."

Gradually, listening to the butler's explanation, Ted put on a pain mask, spending money at this rate, it's a breeze to become a pauper, and then he has to live on pants.
"Chris, is there anything I can cut back"

"My lord, these are already reduced."

It wasn't until the evening that the two finished dealing with the matter before them, but Ted had new things to do.

If I don't think of ways to make money, I will become a seller and live on the street next year. I thought I could make some small inventions this winter and sell them in the spring.
From this point of view, this idea is dead. He needs to make a lot of money, not a small profit.

At noon the next day, Ted's brain seemed to be gnawed by something, and he couldn't concentrate. Instead of being stupid at home, it's better to go outside the city to relax~ Clear your mind, maybe you can think of a way to make money~
"Chris, come with me outside for a walk, let go of your mind!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The north is covered with snow all the year round, and the roads are rough, which is not suitable for relaxing. However, there is a plain in the northeast, which is very good for cycling.

It's already noon, and the wind blowing from the plain still makes people feel a bit of coolness. The coolness from the snow-capped mountains penetrates into the mind, gradually dissolving the recent troubles.

Half an hour later, Ted crossed the plain and came to a strange-looking snow mountain and sighed: "How can I make money quickly?"

At this time, a strange beeping sound of elves came into my ears, like a call or a reminder, as if there was an anxious brother on the other side of the system asking you to quickly read unread messages.

This sound has been echoing in his ears since a few minutes ago. Ted thought it was his tinnitus caused by too much pressure, but now it seems that it is not
"Drip! Drip! Drip!"

It took another half a minute before Ted saw a green light flashing in the system. After clicking on it, he read the prompt message carefully, his eyes widened, his face turned back in disbelief, and he stared at the strange-looking mountain in front of him. .

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Hearing the lord's words, Chris hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what happened?"

Ted didn't answer, but squatted down and pushed the soil layer away a little with his hands.

The next moment, the system locked on to the surface, and when the results were displayed, Ted sat down on the ground with a 'crack' sound without taking a breath.

In addition to the buzzing in his head, there was the sound of his heart beating violently. At this moment, he even forgot how to breathe
Ted took off his helmet, leaned on the car and laughed loudly. After a few seconds, his facial expression turned into a fool again, as if his facial features were no longer under the control of his brain.
"Hey Hey Hey."

Chris stood beside him with a dazed expression on his face. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only kneel on one knee. With years of experience, he took off his gloves and gently opened Ted's eyelids.

"Alive"

"Don't make trouble!" Ted pushed Chris away and emphasized: "I'm alive and well, just happy!"

"Happy?" Chris looked at him puzzled, wondering: "My lord, is there any good news?"

Ted didn't speak, but picked up a few black stones from the ground and handed them to the butler.

The butler took the stone dubiously, and repeatedly confirmed that Ted was not kidding himself.

"My lord, why did you give me a stone?"

"My dear housekeeper! With this thing! I can lie flat for 8000 years! Hahaha!"

After recovering, Ted picked up a few large pieces and put them in the trunk, and pulled Chris back to the city quickly.

[Discovering Natural Resources: Surface Coal Mines.

Total stock: 1700 billion tons
Can be mined with existing technology: 200 billion tons!

Reason for formation: It was originally an underground coal mine. After a continental plate collision, this coal mine was squeezed up, forming several strange-looking mountains. 】

Several mountains were covered with snow. For generations, people in the northern region only knew to drink the melted snow water, and never thought about what these dark mountains were.

After thousands of years of silence, this resource was finally discovered!The reserves are not too much, and it is still short of the 2300 billion tons of reserves of the largest state-owned coal mine that I know, but it is enough for a while!

In the spring of next year, Ted can bring people here to mine coal mines.

Different from traditional coal mines, the mountain formed by this open-pit coal mine has almost zero mining difficulty. Just put a few bombs at the balance point of the mountain to blow up the mountain, and then pick up the coal mine.

After returning to the territory, Ted sat on a chair and used the resource component analysis function attached to the system to immediately analyze the specific components!

After such an analysis, it is even more difficult to calm down. Compared with the kind of bituminous coal that burns smokyly, the one in my hand is actually high-quality anthracite, with high carbon content and higher calorific value.

Now, Ted suddenly had the idea of ​​lying down completely!In my previous life, I thought day and night that there was a mine at home, but I didn't expect this dream to come true in this life!

A golden mountain turned into a thin and long whip, lashing his body mercilessly, leaving scars, although painful, but happy!This sudden wealth even made him think he was dreaming!

If you master the technology, you can produce 2000 million tons per year, and you can lie flat for 8500 years, and you will be able to sell just the resources!Not to mention the resources in the northern mountains, if there is some oil and gas, Ted can even use it to bulldoze the world!
It's just that there is no mining technology yet. But even if the 200 billion tons on the surface is enough for Ted to mine for a while
"call"

After taking a sip of cold water, he came back to his senses!There are only a few natural resources, why do you want to escape so much?

Some coal mines, what a big deal!I have not yet reached the level of Ma Jack, but sooner or later, this B, he will have to pretend, preferably in front of the whole country, at a large-scale speech scene!Show yourself in Versailles, and say the famous saying that pissed everyone off: "I don't care about money, I'm not interested in money! Money is a bastard, respect your dreams"

For this goal, I can't lie down!The meaning of life lies in pretending to be B, I have never been to Versailles until now!

Thinking of this, Ted raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely, printed out a book, and sold it now.

It is not a good way to always rely on system functions, you have to cultivate talents yourself to become an excellent lord!
Just do it!As soon as he opened the first page of the book "Energy Harvesting", the content inside persuaded himself.
"What's all this writing?"
