Duke of Herrington

Chapter 5 Solving the First Crisis

"Come on!" Chris still felt that he was dreaming, so he took off his helmet and pressed his temples to remind himself that this was not a dream
In just half an hour, the two of them swept away the surplus food in the city. Although the housekeeper still didn't know why gold coins would appear in front of his eyes when Lord Viscount raised his hand, and the wheat would disappear when he waved his hand again, but his intuition told himself: don't overdo it. Ask, just call NB.

Put on your helmet and go again!Along the way, they emptied the excess food in one city after another along the imperial signposts.

On the way, the two even encountered many horse bandits, but the speed of horses is far less than that of four-wheeled carts. In this world, the fastest horse can only carry people at a top speed of 60km per hour, and it can only maintain a short distance. distance.

The four-wheeled car the two were riding in easily reached 120 miles, and Ted even had time to point his middle finger at the robbers behind and despise them!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Ted and Chris sat in the restaurant of the imperial capital [Dherim] to taste the local specialties.
Only then did Chris recover from the shock. The delicious grapes and refreshing and fresh vegetables in front of him are indeed the middle of the rich!

In just 6 hours, Ted and Chris searched 10 large towns. When passing through castles and villages, their surplus food was also sold out.
And now, the task is more than half done, and I even have time to have lunch with Lord Viscount!

Half an hour later, the two had enough to eat and drink, and were ready to go, but when they were leaving the town, a woman happened to pour slops on Chris's body
At the same time, a gorgeously dressed lady with half a meter of hair, an umbrella in her hand, and 20cm high heels slowly walked out of the cesspit. Lightly used an umbrella to block the splashed feces.

A long time ago, Ted didn't know how this dress became popular in Europe, until he saw this outrageous scene, and the skilled movements could not be dissipated in his mind for a long time
"Umbrellas are used to block shit"

"Let us go, my lord."

Because of the help of the system, Ted almost saved all the transportation costs and labor costs, completed the task in this way, and even brought some fruits and vegetables back!

Passing by the vineyards outside the city, Ted went straight to the worried farmer, whose warehouse was full of freshly picked grapes
This year's grape harvest has been bumper, but the demand has not increased, and no one cares about the rest. This also gave Ted a chance to directly take all the grapes that were packed!

Not only the grapes, but also the freshly picked apples and tomatoes, and even the refreshing cabbage were all packed away!
As a survival game enthusiast and professional hamster player in his previous life, when he was playing a single player, the supplies he hoarded could even arm a regiment!

When I was a teenager, I lived in the north of China, and every time I bought something, I had to take a cart to fill the refrigerator to the brim!
This kind of psychology is exactly the same as the anxiety you feel when your phone is not fully charged!As long as the battery is less than [-]%, you will feel panic!
Now!I have an inventory with an unlimited shelf life. I'm sorry if I don't stock up on food!

"Housekeeper, let's continue working!" Ted put down the kettle in his hand, and continued driving south with the butler
At first, the two thought that the price of food would not be cheap, but the further they traveled south and approached the large production area in the south, Ted became more and more suspicious of life.
In his own territory, a bag of 10 kilograms of wheat cost 20 copper coins, and even doubled in winter!In the south, in some places, even a copper coin can be won. Seemingly expensive vegetables and fruits are often ridiculously cheap.

Production and demand affect prices, and transportation is also a problem these days. Cheap food cannot be transported out, so we have to rely on the country's large caravans to buy it. That kind of efficiency is like the gray uncle who works in the gray state. It takes hundreds of people to work at the same time to build a house !
I have played the game "Riding and Slashing". In the village next to Decheng, there is often a dinar of wheat. However, when you go to other places, such as Kujit or feeding chickens and ducks, the wheat will double. It is a good choice to sell food or run a business!

At night, the two finally completed all the tasks. Ted spent all the property he brought, leaving only 2 gold coins for emergency.

There are always things like money. As a smart modern person, the last thing I fear is not having money.This winter, when the outside of the territory is covered with snow, it is the best time to research and invent for yourself. After the winter is over, you can sell your gadgets!It will make a fortune!
A young man who travels through another world can sell [-] million Eris with a little invention, and live a happy life with the goddess without shame. It shouldn't be too much to build a steam engine by himself and sell [-] million.

On this continent, both north and west, in winter!The entire empire will be covered with half a meter of snow, and it will be impossible to move an inch, and there will be nothing to do except stare at home!It would be a waste not to study!
Looking at the item column, the total amount of food purchased by myself is much greater than expected!Not to mention staying until next year's autumn harvest, it will not be a problem until the next spring~
Young people are always fond of fantasies, Ted seems to have regained his passion in the past, and the first "five-year plan" for the future emerged in his mind

In the early morning of the next day, Ted stood at the gate of the city and let out a sigh of relief. At least his subjects would not be starved to death in the short term, and this winter, he could take this opportunity to regain the people's respect for him. trust!
According to the picture in the memory, the leaders are not greedy people, but contented, kind and simple, and they will be grateful for a little favor.

Last time, half of the tax was reduced or exempted in the northern border, and the whole city carnivaled for three days and three nights.

Ted is more confident this time!

Looking at the map in the system, he planned a route. Along this road, he only needs 700 kilometers to drive back to the territory. If he goes at a speed of 120 miles, he can even make it in time for dinner!
"Housekeeper, let's get on the road as soon as we finish eating. If it goes well, we can make it in time for dinner!" Ted put on his helmet with a smile and filled up the gas tank!

"My lord, I'll follow you, don't drive too fast, 120 miles is enough!" Chris was the first person in the world to experience the future of transportation.

He once went on a business trip, from Valentine in the north to York in the south, it took him 2 months, and he encountered many kidnappers on the way, it was like jumping repeatedly between life and death ,this life!He never wants to experience it again
And now, this unassuming four-wheeled scooter can actually complete the journey of two months in 6 hours!It's appalling, and if you haven't experienced it yourself, you'll think it's nonsense!

"set off!"

On the road, the road conditions were the same as when we came here, the whole road was unimpeded, except for a few caravans, there were no pedestrians, and the wild animals that appeared from time to time also stopped to observe the two galloping iron lumps.

Taking this opportunity, Ted felt the affinity of nature, the fragrance of the forest, everything is so beautiful, completely different from the nature he knew!
Until an ostrich appeared on my left at a speed of [-] miles per hour, breaking my fantasy!

"Gah!" With a shriek, the ostrich precisely snatched the tomato that Ted put on his chest.
On the Gobi, the horse bandits were still chasing the two of them closely, and they kept making roars that only apes could roar. However, all this was in vain. Can't keep up with a car on four wheels.
In the evening, Ted and Chris returned to the territory [Valentine]. The guards on the city wall saw the lord's flag and immediately ordered to open the city gate to welcome them!

When the two crossed the street again, the situation did improve a lot.

According to the instructions left by him, all the waste was discarded one kilometer north of the city.

Originally, this was an impossible task, but the behavior of distributing food by oneself made most of the people willing to trust the Lord again, at least, they were willing to give Ted a chance. Therefore, the leaders cleaned up all the feces in the city.

After all, everyone struggles every day to be able to eat enough. Now that the food is full, it is not bad to listen to the orders of the lord~
