Duke of Herrington

Chapter 2 The Viscount of the North
"Ahem, I'll take a shower first~" After finishing speaking, Ted opened the system mall, clicked on the column of daily necessities, and found men's hygiene suits!
As a necessary consumable for daily life, the price is not expensive. You can buy 12 sets with one star coin, and each set can be used for a month!

The stench is unbearable at all. If I don't take a bath immediately, I am afraid that I will die early not long after being resurrected.
Gently pushing the door open, he found the maid Mia who was eating on the stool outside the door.

"Mia~ help me boil a bucket of hot water, I want to take a bath~"

"Take a bath!?" Hearing these big words, Mia hugged her head tightly, as if she had heard something important, she exclaimed loudly: "My lord! Taking a bath will take off the protective layer on the body. You can't resist the virus brought by the devil! And it's not pious to God!"

Hearing this, Ted looked depressed, but he could only complain in his heart: "Not taking a bath is the culprit of getting sick! Viruses are magical attacks. What's the use of my thick armor? Dad has a good saying! Defeat magic with magic!"

Pulling up the sleeves, Chen Nian Lao Cun turned into something similar to a tortoise shell due to dehydration, sticking to his arm made Ted feel uncomfortable.

God knows how long it will take to wash this thing off!

The maid in front of him still stayed where she was, Ted reached out and lightly tapped her head with a smile and said, "Keep quiet, let me know after boiling the hot water~"

"Yeah!" Mia nodded lightly, stuffed the last piece of beef into her mouth, and trot downstairs~
Watching her busy back, Ted's heart rippled, and a memory appeared in his mind.

"Huh, so I brought this little girl back from the orphanage when I was 6 years old."

This body has just turned 15 years old this year, and it is a teenager. It is normal to have a good impression of the opposite sex.

Mia is 13 years old, as a maid of the lord's house, with sufficient food supply, her body matures earlier.

But~ the fruit is delicious when it is ripe.

Ted was also young in his previous life, but he was too timid at the time, even if the mistake was stuck on his face, he didn't have the courage to make it.

"Forget it, what's the rush?" Ted shook his head, trying to calm himself down first.

The family territory is in the north, and the power is not too great, but it is still a hereditary nobleman, with a town of its own, two castles, and several villages~
Based on these conditions, as long as you want to make mistakes, mistakes will even open the door for you!

Life is 200 years, don’t rush to have fun, it’s not too late to think about it after you become an adult~
Half an hour later, Ted came to the bathroom and took out a set of sanitary products from the system inventory~ In order to make himself cleaner, he chose to cut his hair to 6mm, and then shaved all unnecessary hair in other places!

After working for a while, he soaked himself in the bucket. At this time, the water temperature was just right~
In order to thoroughly deal with the stains on his body, he took out a northern bath artifact from the hygiene suit - a bath towel!
It is unrealistic to rely on other methods to deal with the body. Right now, only this kind of magical weapon that relies on "powerful miracles" can completely cleanse oneself!If this thing can't clean itself, you can only use steel wool.
An hour later, the process went smoothly, and I was like a snake that had shed its skin!After climbing out of the bathtub, he quickly changed into new clothes, and sprayed his neckline with perfume lightly!

Looking back at the used bathtub, Ted couldn't help but shuddered, shook his head slightly and sighed: "This dirty water is probably enough for poison."

The territory I live in is relatively poor, and even those churches are too lazy to build a church here, so the people in the north are more simple and have not been poisoned by theology!

At the same time, regarding the personal hygiene of the people in the territory, a more detailed plan is already clear~
As long as there is no magic stick, then promoting bathing is not a problem!

In the afternoon, Ted sat in the lord's office, dealing with government affairs in the territory with a high spirit and a smile.

My father and mother died of illness three years ago. As the only child in the family, he inherited the title and territory as a matter of course.

Just looking at it, Ted couldn't laugh anymore.
Judging from the report in front of me, the situation in the territory is not optimistic. It is all problems left over from the past, except for the mess. Almost catching up with the hills piled up with feces outside.
There are 60 people in the northern border, and many people die of hunger and cold every year. The per capita wealth is at the bottom of the empire. The people have to work hard every day for a long time, and they have to go to bed hungry
Although the land is not small, even almost catching up with some marquis's land, but most of them are snow-capped mountains and permafrost, the usable area is not much, and the cultivated area is even more pitiful.
"Forget it, I'll go to sleep after reading it." Unknowingly, it was already dark, but Ted still planned to finish reading these reports.
This night, he stayed up all night, and after only reading half of the report, Ted's heart was splashed with ice water, completely wiping out his original aura!I just feel a splitting headache and can't watch anymore
"Hey, I'm so cold"

Even if the food production is halved this year, the citizens still pay the due part. Not only that, they are still grateful for everything the world has given.
There has been a serious conflict between the past thoughts and the current system, and the principle does not allow me to lie down!Tad closed his eyes and pressed his temple, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, Mia pushed open the wooden door, pushed a dining cart to the desk and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you want something to eat?"

Just now, I used the calculator that came with the system to make a simple estimate. This year's grain production has been cut in half due to the excessively long last winter. If left alone, at least 8 people will die of hunger this winter. A conservative estimate, if you add those who have no money to buy charcoal, there will only be more
On the dining car in front of you, there is a delicious roast chicken, a piece of blanched cheese, and a plate of delicious vegetable salad. In the north, the price of vegetables is ridiculously expensive, and people can only eat vegetables for a month in summer. .

But now, the residents of the northern border were starving outside, while they were eating hot meals in exquisite houses. Thinking of this, no matter how delicious the meal was, it was hard to swallow.

Just like when the exam results were poor in the previous life, I didn't have any appetite. It's not my fault, but this damn backward thinking.

"Eat it, I can't eat it"

"My lord, you haven't eaten all day"

"Don't persuade me, go to the side and eat slowly, and find someone to eat with you if you can't finish!" After finishing speaking, Ted yawned, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, then picked up the bell and shook it gently. shake~
The next moment, the housekeeper who was reviewing the documents outside the door came into the office.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Ted sighed, sipped half a glass of water and looked up and asked, "Chris, how much money is left at home?"

In terms of wealth, the young butler Chris in front of him can be said to be in his hands~ He smiled and replied: "My lord, although our northern border is not rich, but your wealth is not a lot, even more than most Lord Earls! These But it's all the wealth left by your father~"

　Every universe is different. In the parallel universe where the protagonist lives, the earth has not developed civilization. In order to meet my setting, I aimed at the Cygnus constellation not far from the Milky Way (about 600 light-years, not too far away. ~) on planet 22b of the Kepler 22 galaxy.

　　The tentative name of this planet is: Seablue Star, the land area and volume, as well as the resources, are several times larger than the Earth!
　　There are more intelligent races born~
　　The number of humans has also increased, and it is not as boring as medieval village brawls.
