Chapter 3 Adaptation!
"Phew..."Ted reached out and pulled out a piece of parchment from the drawer, wrote a line on it, and signed his name and date at the bottom of the paper.
After doing this, he handed the paper to the butler and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will see 30% of my wealth here, understand?" ”
Chris glanced around, as if to make an estimate of the size of the office, then he shook his head and said, "My lord, this place may not be big enough, or put it in the hall downstairs?" ”
"Okay, then you can hurry up..."The joy that just crossed over, and the yearning for new things, were shattered by this mess, replaced by exhaustion and headaches...
"But... My lord, what are you going to do with this money? I mean, I'm your steward, a generational vassal of the Hairington family, and I should keep a record of my expenses~"
"Recorded: Go to the south to buy wheat to solve the problem that the people have no food to eat in the winter..."Ted's eyes were bloodshot, and the exhaustion of the night made him a little unable to open his eyes, he was sleepy...
Hearing this, Chris was stunned, stretched out his hand and drew several circles in mid-air awkwardly, and only after a full ten seconds did he speak: "Your Highness, you are completely wasting money by doing this, you must know that it is not easy to accumulate these wealth..."
This sentence was like the last straw that overwhelmed Ted's heart...
He has indeed just come to this world, but he still has the memories of the previous 15 years of the original body, and every minute and second of the past is still vivid, and he has experienced everything himself! In addition to this, he has 35 years of experience as an outstanding young man of the 21st century.
He is Viscount Ted Hairington of the Empire and Bai Xudong of Huaguo.
Besides, there are some things, once believed, no matter how many lifetimes have passed, they will not be forgotten, they will only be more determined!
The next moment, Ted clenched his fists and stood up, glared at Chris in front of him, and suppressed his anger and said: "If we don't buy wheat, there will be enough food in the north for the people to survive the winter, and even the current food will not be enough to eat." ”
Hearing this, Chris opened the notebook and flipped through it, looking like he was looking up past records...
Two minutes later, he found a set of data and spoke slowly: "My lord, the most time in the history of the family was 60 years ago, this was recorded by my grandfather, it was a dowry for the marriage of the daughter of the viscount, and it cost one-fifth of the wealth at that time, and what was owned at that time was far less than now..."
"Whew..."Ted was still enduring it, his aristocratic upbringing and 16 years of scientific education did not allow him to yell, so he opened his arms and barely squeezed out a smile in response: "Chris, you have a record now, go do it~"
"My lord, according to family tradition, I think this money should be spent on your future daughter's dowry, and not for the untouchables outside..."
"Bang dang!" Ted couldn't hold back any longer, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Enough! That's my people, not a pariah! And also! Every minute and every second of our conversation, there will be a person outside starving! They could be a father or a mother, or more likely a child! ”
"If I don't leave them alone! At least 80,000 people will die on the streets this winter! And you're concerned about my distant future daughter's dowry! I've never heard anything so ridiculous! Sir Chris! ”
"Now, you just have to do what I said! Execute it now! ”
This is the first time Ted has been angry in years, and from this moment on, he seems to be completely adapted to this identity...
Butler Chris didn't say much and quietly left with instructions.
The little maid who was eating meat on the side, after hearing this conversation, was so frightened that she put down the chicken leg in her hand, quietly looked at Ted, and said in a low trembling voice: "My lord... Can I still eat it..."
The anger and unpleasantness just now were swept away after seeing Mia, who was eating meat.
The oily look on his face made him laugh: "Eat, Mia~Don't forget to take a shower after eating~" After speaking, Ted took out a lady's hygiene product and put it on the table.
"I remember that you should be literate, there are instructions on it, read it for yourself~"
"Your Excellency... Can I not wash it..."
"If you don't wash it, you won't have any meat to eat..."
"Well... I wash..."
Dragging his tired body, Ted sat down on the table and wrote a plan for food for the next two years.
If you want to distribute food to the people, you have to distribute it until next autumn, close to a year and a half, and it is better to write a complete plan and post it on the city gate for the people to circulate, so as to alleviate the panic...
In addition, there are plans for public baths to be built for the personal hygiene of the people, and they are all written down as the first task to be done.
Half an hour later... Ted was exhausted and fell asleep on his desk...
In my sleep, the life of this life is fully integrated with the experience of the previous life, carefully down to the bits and pieces of life, the dew on the flowers and leaves, the birds in the woodland, and the scene when I just learned to speak...
In this world, the language used by human beings is like a collection of all the languages of Europe on Earth, with all kinds of vocabulary in it, and when people are angry, the wording and grammar will infinitely approach the form of German.
When I first talked to Chris, the initial wording was relatively mild, but in the end, when I was angry, the words I said were like scolding the street, and the small tongue and passionate tone alone could scare off most people.
Gradually, Ted fell into a deep sleep, and he dreamed of his little mi, and after his death, he waited by the window for him to come back, but fortunately, his sister finally adopted it...
"Mi... I miss you..."
At this time, Mia, who had just finished taking a shower, happened to pass by and sent Ted back to the bedroom with Chris...
Just as Mia was about to leave, Ted grabbed her.
In the dream, Ted grabbed Xiao Mi and held her in his arms little by little... The soft meat pad and the fragrant soft kitten breath let me fall into the void universe and fall asleep completely...
The next morning, Ted was refreshed and his tiredness was swept away!
Before I opened my eyes, a refreshing scent of jasmine wafted through...
This smell is exactly the same as the cat litter aroma he used for Xiao Mi, and when he quietly opened his eyes, he found that what he was looking for was not Xiao Mi, but a soft and sweet girl paper.
It's just that... This girl's face is a little bad, she is drooling, and her mouth keeps repeating the dream words: "Hey, hey, hey... Meaty... Delicious..."
This face immediately brought Tedra back to reality, this is not the earth, Xiao Mi also has a sister to take care of, she should be pragmatic and do the things in front of her!
In my previous life, I always complained that I was not the boss of the country, what would happen if I was... The former self stood on the moral high ground and pointed out the country.
And now! I really have a territory, and there are 600,000 people under my rule, and it is time to show my talents! Don't run away!
Before he had time to think about why Mia was sleeping next to him, Ted took a deep breath, quietly climbed out of bed, quickly changed his clothes, and went downstairs to the hall.
