Duke of Herrington

Chapter 62 There is a crisis, but there is no one!

"My lord, it's probably like this. The girl with wings and wearing only one piece of clothing eats rations for 100 people and says she's full."

"Full?" The eyes of the people around them widened in disbelief!

"Yes, she flew away after finishing all this! She also said that she will come tomorrow! According to the scouts' observations, this mysterious girl should be on the top of the mountain!"

"On the mountain?" Ted stroked his slightly growing beard, and kept mumbling: "On the mountain? Can it fly? Could it be... a snow girl or a bald eagle? Or something else?"

Suddenly, just as Ted was muttering, the snow fell even harder outside!
Chris, who has the best intuition in the territory, thought of the ice age in the historical records.

"Could it be that it's not good!" He held his head tightly and crawled all the way to Ted.

"My lord, it's not good. The ice age may be coming. If the forecast is correct, the last snow of this year will be delayed until June!"

"June?" Ted was dumbfounded. If Chris' prediction is true, not to mention building a factory, even maintaining the existing production capacity will be a problem!

With the advent of the ice age, the hydroelectric generators are directly GG, all the factories are closed, the baths are closed, and the workshops and laboratories have to suspend operations.

"Hey" Ted frowned, trying to think of a solution
Surviving the ice age is not difficult, but how to survive the ice age smoothly and without delay is even more difficult.

"Forget it, let's think about the ice age first, let's suspend the factory construction plan for a while! Chris, you go and gather the people from the city hall, and we will have an impromptu meeting at night to discuss countermeasures!"

"No problem! My lord!" Chris took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and walked out the door like a gentleman.

Because these are not problems, and why the panic just now is just to set off the atmosphere, because it is the ice age that is seen once in a thousand years!It is even more rare than a comet hitting a planet!

As the temporary mayor of the northern border, I have to be anxious no matter what!
At 9 o'clock in the evening, the meeting room was full of people, because it was the first time to discuss the issue of 'Ice Age', and Ted also invited some outstanding citizens to join the meeting as representatives.

Of course, this may also be the last time these people participated in this type of meeting. After all, according to historical records, this thing can come every 900 to 1100 years. It is almost impossible for human beings to live that long. The moon elves present may see the next once.

It's just that the moon elves present don't even know what the Ice Age is. They just think that the more snow there is, the better, because then there will be more water, and no one will die of thirst.

According to the environment that the moon elves lived in before, with years of drought, there is no need to worry about water here, and they can even waste it as they like!Based on this alone, the moon elves don't want to move away!

If it weren't for the limited supply of hot water, they would even be willing to take 8 baths a day!

Before the meeting started, everyone was afraid of this familiar yet unfamiliar 'topic', and many people were even covered in cold sweat like they were facing an enemy!

The moon elves, on the other hand, had gloomy faces. They had just arrived and hadn't understood what the 'Ice Age' was. They thought that there would be terrible monsters attacking during the Ice Age!So don't dare to slack off!
The surrounding atmosphere was getting colder and colder. When the atmosphere was suppressed to the lowest point, Ted spoke:
"First of all, don't panic. The cold period will end at the end of June. We should have everything. Except for the bad environment, which makes it difficult to walk outside the city, it will basically have no impact on us in the city. After all, 'this is not what it used to be' .”

"Because of the special ability of the moon elves, we can successfully pass through the ice age this time, so here, I would like to invite everyone to pay tribute to them!"

The moon elves who came to the meeting felt a little embarrassed when they saw that the lord was so polite: "Sir, there is no need to do this. You took us in and liberated us, so there is no need to do this."

Ted was not hypocritical, but stood up and shook hands with the elderly moon elf: "A friend in need is a friend, we are a family, so I won't talk about each other!"

After returning to his seat and sitting down, Ted told the truth about Chris' judgment and the improvised plan. After the planning was completed, everyone present was no longer nervous.

"Ahem, to sum it up. No matter how long the ice age is, we are not afraid. Everything is running normally. Even sugar, canned food and some handicraft workshops will be affected and closed, and there will be less meat."

"But that's not a problem, because the shops are all mine. According to our handling plan, according to the new law of the northern border, for accidents caused by force majeure, the rent can be exempted by a maximum of 65%, which will be borne by the government. The rest 35% of the loan can be converted into long-term interest-free loans and added to the business tax afterwards."

On the issue of money, Ted looked through the history books of the 21st and 22nd centuries, referred to developed countries with better welfare benefits, and used their methods to deal with emergencies.

In order to maintain the daily operation, you can use the first coin relief, which has been done by yourself.
Then open jobs, such as the farming industry that Ted has always been thinking about, so that those who were originally small businesses can raise chickens and pigs.

After all, in times of crisis, it is good to have a job and food, so there is no need to pick and choose.

After the crisis is over, the consumption tax will be raised slightly to make up for the previous over-budget. Huachao owed a debt for the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and this is how he paid it off.
Fortunately, the empire has a tradition of issuing national debt, so Ted doesn't have to explain it all over again.

Those who responded to my call were also those who came to work before, and they had a lot of wages in their hands. Selling some suitable 'Northern Bonds' to borrow money from them is also a way to deal with it.

This set of procedures is not special news. Almost all countries are using it. Ted just learned it.

"As for the meat, just eat more vegetables. It's no big deal."

"It's still the same sentence. To you, I have never been a bad person, let alone bully my own people. I believe you have heard my plan from someone, but it's too early to talk about it."

Ted didn't know who passed on his plan. According to his intuition, it should not be Chris, but most likely those fanatics who believed in him.

They always boast about how great they are after work, and even tied people who were unwilling to take a bath to the stake at one point. If Chris hadn't stopped them in time, it would have caused catastrophe.

During this period of time, Ted, as the lord, did not object or prohibit them, but only emphasized that their behavior should abide by the law.

Such tolerance indirectly led to the growing power of this force.

According to statistics a few days ago, Chris gave a report saying: There is one Ted fanatic in every five people, most of them are strong and powerful young people, control most of the right to speak, and they are all excellent citizen
So far, Ted has not come up with a solution. He doesn’t want to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm. Such a fanatic responds to his call and will infect the people around him. Besides, he also enjoys this feeling very much.

Therefore, he intends to put this question on hold for a while, and wait until the territory improves.

After discussing a series of issues, all representatives signed and reached a consensus!
"Come on, my brothers and sisters, tell the people around you this information as much as possible, so that they don't have to worry. During this cold period, you can just ignore him and do what you have to do. If the shit team can't get out of the city, You can burn it on the spot, choose a different place according to the wind direction, in short, don't let this smell sweep the whole city~"

"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed loudly, and all the unhappiness was blown away by the lord's vulgar humor.

"In that case, everyone, go home and go to sleep!"

"Yes, my lord!"
