Duke of Herrington

Chapter 25 The first short-term plan!
A young aristocratic painter witnessed all this. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, put away his drawing board, and buried his young life. After returning to the imperial capital, he completed a painting "The Cold Smile"

At this moment, the northern border has been covered with snow. Before the snowstorm comes, both materials and resources have been hoarded long ago~
Except for the water truck and the dung truck every day, no one else has to come out~
The staff wore the overalls issued by Ted, and they didn't feel a trace of cold in the winter. The solid and thick wool was pasted on their bodies, and the gentle friction felt like a kind of enjoyment.

"AH~ The needle doesn't poke!" A worker sat on the water truck and stretched lazily, letting the snowflakes hit his face and melt into cool snow water
"Thanks to Lord Viscount, otherwise, I would still be an idler!" After sighing, he heard the calls of the nearby residents, pulled out the pipe, and filled the nearby people with water~
The workshop next to the Lord's Mansion is still in operation, and the winter has little impact on them. Behind the workshop, a simple frame has been built, which looks like a model of a truck~
In the lord's mansion, Chris was lying on the rocking chair in the office, enjoying his little leisure time.

In addition to learning hot weapons every day, Ted also needs to learn some political knowledge, for example, how to word the first speech after the people are rich, so as to attract the people to the greatest extent.

Yesterday, Ted and Chris discussed some matters with an older Moon Elf representative about how to use their unique abilities~
I thought that I would encounter some difficulties, but I never thought that they would be very grateful for the tasks they assigned.

As a tough time for the North, after next spring, they will need to work eight hours a day with two days off a week.

At that time, the people in the north will also have new jobs~ The newly built greenhouse will need many people to take care of it.

The maximum capacity range of elves per month is a small square of 100 square meters. In order to prevent these people from thinking about it, and to get rid of the shadow of 'slaves', Ted and Chris unanimously decided to divide the area of ​​the greenhouse into It is defined as a small square of 100x8m, and 200 dark elves are responsible for growing plants, and [-] people are responsible for planting seeds and harvesting vegetables.

Calculated according to one-fifth of the optimal ideal production speed, every hour, the total amount of food produced by the greenhouse exceeds the amount of the same area of ​​land for two years. To be doubled, and the quality of the fruit is large and good!
It seems that a happy life is beckoning to me again~
"Boom." Ted put down the cup in his hand, walked towards the window gently, and happened to find that Alice and Mia were walking here~
Five minutes later, the two patted off the snowflakes on their bodies and came to Ted's office
"My lord, I heard that you have some special plant seeds, is that right?"

Ted nodded with a smile. When he first came to this world, he won a truckload of plant seeds in the lottery. There are many kinds of plants, some of which are not even cultivated on the earth, but fruits and vegetables from outer space.

If these things are planted, they may die due to unacceptable water and soil conditions. It is better to find someone who understands and let them take a good look~
After so many days of remission, these elves finally have what they should look like. Alice in front of her eyes is still thin, but she is by no means the miserable look before, at least not skinny~
"Alice, sit down first~ Mia, if you want to be here, don't make trouble~"

"Got it!" Mia smiled, showing her dimples, and slowly moved her hands, slid them across her body and stopped on her waist, slightly bent her waist, stuck out her ruddy tongue, and gave Ted a wink ~
Looking at this extremely unskilled winking movement, Ted can roughly guess who taught her to do it, and resignedly complained in his heart: "Mrs. Mary! Every day, what are you teaching Mia!"

Seeing that Ted didn't respond, Mia became bolder, and sat directly on the coffee table next to Ted, staring at Alice in front of her, not allowing her to make any outrageous actions.

"Shall we start?" Ted took out the pre-allocated seed samples from the inventory and placed them on the table.

"Hmm~" Alice didn't dare to look directly at the lord in front of her, she stretched out her index finger shyly, put it lightly on her lips, turned slightly sideways and clamped her legs.
This made Ted very puzzled.

"What? Are you uncomfortable? We can do it another day."

"No~ my lord is just a little scared. I'm afraid I can't do well."

Ted squeezed out a smile, but he was scolding his mother in his heart: "TMD! It's easy to be misunderstood when you say that! Even if I have a crush on you, I can't do this!"

After adjusting his emotions, Ted opened his mouth again: "Hey~ It's okay~ We can take our time~"

The conversation was getting more and more wrong, and Mia sat aside to suspect that the car had no basis, so she could only keep an eye on the two of them to prevent any trouble.

In order to get straight to the question, Ted took out a seed from the container and handed it to Alice with a smile, and continued, "Have you seen this kind of seed?"

"No." Alice shook her head lightly, and when she stretched out her fingers to take the seeds, the two's hands made brief contact, and she seemed to have been electrocuted, her body trembling and backwards tactically.

Not only that, but she deliberately used her unique milk trill 'ah' to make Ted feel uncomfortable!

Turning her head away, she raised her hands to cover her hot cheeks: "This kind of seed is so big, we have to go outside."

Ted nodded in embarrassment but politely, and motioned for everyone to go out together in his coat.

This strange feeling made Ted very embarrassed, and an alpaca flew in his heart and complained loudly: "I said Alice! You are blushing like a bubble teapot! Wait for me to die in a few years!!!???"

Coming outside, as a strong man, Ted picked up the shovel in the corner of the yard, dug a hole in the ground, put the seeds into the hole, and then filled the soil back~
"Is this okay?" Ted put down the shovel and turned to look at Alice who was still shy.

"Could it be that this girl likes to see me sweating?" Ted frowned and stepped back.

In order to show her weak side, Alice deliberately walked to the pit she had just dug, like a kitten, fiercely raising her jade feet to step on it
"Yeah!" He gave Ted a thumbs up, rolled his eyes very unskillfully, and stepped back three meters with small steps.

"You can start at any time, Alice~" Ted walked behind Mia, while watching the next move, he stretched out his hand to pinch her face.

Alice let out a long breath, and puffed her mouth in Ted's direction to answer: "Okay~ my lord~".
"Huh~ the key that hides the power of the stars~ in me" whispered a unique spell in his mouth, and after three seconds, a light wind hit, like a wave of energy condensed into a vortex, and poured into the seed in front of him.

Ted always felt that the spell was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, as if he had heard it from his cousin.
The fresh and tender green shoots of 'Patta' break out of the ground, even in winter, they are not afraid of the severe cold, they grow upward continuously, capture the elements in the air, and emit the taste of summer outward.

The slender young branches soon became strong and powerful, and it didn't stop until it was ten meters away. From the gaps between the branches and leaves, fruits grew little by little, gradually expanded and enlarged, and finally formed a round and hard fruit. shell
The fruit is ripe!

The input of magic power stopped, and Alice waved her hand gently at the fruit. The next moment, the fruit broke away from the branches and leaves and hit the ground.

"This coconut seems a bit big?" It's completely different from the coconut in memory!The coconut in front of me is big and round, like a basketball!
"Let's help each other~ Let's transport the coconut back and try it!"

The surrounding melon-eating crowd smiled and helped together, and everyone held a few coconuts in their hands~
After 10 minutes, a group of people returned to the office. Ted took out a small knife, gently cut open the coconut skin, took out an extra-large shell from the inside, located the three small eyes, and poked it lightly!A strong breath of life swept across the entire City Lord's Mansion along with the steaming heat in the house.

"This is the taste of summer!" Mia closed her glasses. Even though she had never been to the beach, she imagined the scene of playing with her friends at the beach. The cool sea water hit her feet and the fine sand flowed over her toes Touch. There is also a scene of embracing and kissing the viscount at the beach.

She smirked unconsciously, fantasizing about letting her toes grip the shoes, as if experiencing extreme enjoyment
The same is true for Alice. Unlike Mia, she thinks of her compatriots who are still on the other side of the mainland. A mouthful of moldy bread barely survived.

Compared to these two sentimental girls, Ted was much more straightforward. He slopped all over the floor, poured the juice into the cup impatiently, and drank it all in one gulp!

"ah!" Refreshing swept the whole body, and the familiar taste evokes the sour memories of the past.
However, those are not important anymore!
He took out two more cups, woke up the two girls who were daydreaming, and asked them to taste
"Both of you, come and try!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After drinking, everyone applauds!
After that, Ted asked people in the mansion to try it too!
Now!The special drink on earth, together with yourself, is reborn here!Become a popular drink!

"Now that we have this group of lovely moon elves, we can prepare to make money in advance!"

In the empire, there is no such thing as white sugar. If the people want to enjoy the 'sweet' taste, they can only extract it from fruits, or use divalent lead salts, calomel and other sweet 'poisons' instead.

Ted didn't intend to use these things to fool the people. If you eat too much of those things, the result will be death!
Build a greenhouse as soon as possible, produce a batch of sugarcane, refine white sugar with local methods, sell it cheaply to the people in your own territory, and then sell it to the nobles, and work hard on their leeks!
Once this kind of thing appears, it must be a national strategic material, and only you know how to make it, and only the northern border can produce the material.

If there are people with bad intentions who come to snatch the formula, or use this as an excuse to attack the northern border, I will take people, use the rifles and bullets in my hand, and send them to God.

In order to advance the progress, Ted decided to handle the propellant and detonator of the bullet by himself!

And he never thought that the profession in the previous life, which didn't play a role in the previous life, would come in handy in the next life!

The priming powder needs alpha short columnar lead azide. Synthesizing this thing is not too difficult, it is only a question of how much it can produce.

As for the propellant, use single-base gunpowder ~ nitrocellulose, this thing is a kind of smokeless gunpowder, it is mostly used for bullets and small-caliber guns, and it is not difficult.

In short, synthesizing these two things is not a difficult task, just need a little time to make yourself proficient, and then find a few helpers~ It is best to build a small production line to provide ammunition for at least one company.

It should not be a problem to hand over the warhead to the mechanical students, three months of debugging is enough!
There are too many disadvantages about the black powder. It is better to wait for the factory to be idle and use it to make fireworks to enhance the atmosphere.
