A young aristocratic painter witnessed all this, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, put away the drawing board, buried his young life, and after returning to the imperial capital, he completed a painting..."Cold Smile"

...

At this moment, the northern border has been covered with snow, and before the wind and snow come, whether it is materials or resources, they have already been hoarded~

Every day, except for the water truck and the manure truck, no one else has to come out~

The staff were wearing work clothes issued by Ted, and they didn't feel a trace of cold in the winter, and the solid and warm wool paste on their bodies was like a pleasure.

"AH~ needle does not poke!" A worker sat on a water truck, stretched lazily, and let the snowflakes hit his face and melt into cool snow water...

"Thanks to Lord Viscount, otherwise, I would still be an idler now!" After sighing, he heard the call of the nearby residents, pulled out the pipe, and added water to the nearby people~

The workshop next to the lord's mansion is still operating, and the winter does not affect them much, and at the back of the workshop, a simple frame has been built, which looks like a model of a truck~

Inside the Lord's Mansion, Chris was lying in a rocking chair in his office, enjoying his little free time.

In addition to learning about thermal weapons every day, Ted also had to learn some political knowledge, such as how to phrase his first speech after the people were rich in order to attract the people to the greatest extent.

Yesterday, Ted and Chris spoke with an older Moon Elf representative about how their unique abilities could be used~

I thought that I would encounter some difficulties, but I never thought that they would be grateful for the tasks they were assigned.

As a tough time in 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 needs a lot of people to take care of it.

The maximum power range of the elves each month is a small square of 40,000 square meters, in order not to let this group of people think wildly, and in order to get rid of the shadow of the 'slave', Ted and Chris unanimously decided to set the area of the greenhouse as a small square of 100x100m, with 8 dark elves responsible for growing plants, and 200 people responsible for burying seeds and harvesting vegetables.

At one-fifth of the optimal ideal production rate, the total amount of food produced in the greenhouse every hour is more than the amount of food produced in the same area of land for two years, and if you add the gold provided by Ted, the yield will be doubled, and the quality of the fruit is large and good!

It seems that a happy life is beckoning to you again~

"Bang dang..."Ted put down the cup in his hand and walked gently to the window, and happened to find Alice and Mia walking towards here together~

Five minutes later, the two of them pat the snowflakes off their bodies and go to Ted's office...

"My lord, I heard that you have some special plant seeds, right?"

Ted smiled and nodded, when he first came to this world, he won a truckload of plant seeds in the lottery, and there were many kinds of fruits and vegetables from outer space that were not even cultivated on Earth.

If these things are planted, they may die because of the lack of adaptation to the water and soil, so it is better to find someone who understands and let them take a good look~

After so many days of relief, this group of elves finally has the appearance they should have, and Alice in front of her is still emaciated, but it is by no means the miserable appearance before, at least not skinny~

"Alice, you sit down first~ Mia, if you want to be here, don't make trouble~"

"Got it!" Mia smiled and showed her dimples, slowly moved her hands, crossed her waist in front of her, gently bent her waist, spit out her ruddy little tongue, and squeezed a look at Ted~

Looking at this extremely unskilled flattering gesture, Ted could roughly guess who had taught her to do it, and reluctantly complained inwardly: "Lady Mary! Day by day, I'm teaching Mia something...! ”

Seeing that Ted didn't react, Mia became even more bold, and sat directly on the coffee table next to Ted, staring at Alice in front of her, not allowing her to make any out-of-the-ordinary movements.

"Shall we start?" Ted retrieved the pre-allocated seed sample from his inventory and placed it on the table.

"Hmm~" Alice didn't dare to look directly at the lord in front of her, so she stretched out her index finger shyly, gently put it on her lips, and turned slightly sideways to clamp her legs...

This is very puzzling to Ted.

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

"No~ My lord... It's just a little scared... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well..."

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

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

The conversation is getting more and more wrong, and Mia sits on the sidelines and has no evidence, so she can only keep an eye on the two of them to avoid chaos.

To get straight to the point, Ted smiled and took a seed out of the container and handed it to Alice, continuing to speak, "Have you ever seen this kind of seed? ”

"No," Alice shook her head slightly, and when she reached out her finger to take the seed, their hands made brief contact, and she shook her body as if she had been electrocuted, and leaned back tactically.

Not only that, but she also deliberately used a unique milk trilling 'ah', which made Ted uncomfortable!

Turning her head, she raised her hands to cover her hot cheeks: "This kind of... Oh, we've got to go outside..."

Ted bowed his head in embarrassment and bowed his head in his coat and motioned for everyone to go out together.

This strange feeling embarrassed Ted, and an alpaca flew over him and complained, "I said Alice! You blush with a bubble teapot! Can I die in a few years!!??? ”

Coming outside, as a strong man, Ted picked up a shovel in the corner of the yard, dug a pit in the ground, threw the seeds into the pit, and then filled the soil back in~

"Is that okay?" Ted put down his shovel and turned to look at Alice, who was still shy.

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

In order to show her weak side, Alice deliberately walked to the pit she had just dug, like a little milk cat, and raised her jade feet fiercely to step on it...

"Hmm!" Giving Ted a thumbs up, he threw a flying eye very unskillfully, and took small steps back three meters.

"You can start at any time, Alice~" Ted walked behind Mia and reached out to pinch her face as he watched the next move.

Alice let out a long breath and puffed out her mouth in Ted's direction, "Okay~Adult~"...

"Whew~ The key to hide the power of the stars~ In me..." whispered a unique spell in his mouth, and after three seconds, a light wind struck, like a whirlpool of energy, pouring into the seeds in front of him.

Ted always thought the spell was strange, but he couldn't tell that there was anything wrong, as if he had heard it from his cousin...

Even in winter, the fresh green shoots break through the soil, and even in winter, they are not afraid of the cold, and continue to grow upward, capturing the elements in the air and erupting with the smell of summer.

The slender young twig soon became thick and powerful, and it did not stop until ten meters, and from the gap between the branches and leaves, little by little, fruit grew, gradually swelled, became larger, and finally formed a round and hard shell...

The fruit is ripe!

The mana input stopped, and Alice gently waved her hand at the fruit, and the next moment, the fruit broke away from the branches and fell to the ground.

"This coconut seems to be a bit big, huh?" It's not at all the same as the coconut in my memory! The coconut in front of me is big and round, just like a basketball!

"Let's take a hand ~ let's transport the coconut back and taste it together!"

The surrounding melon-eating crowd smiled and helped together, and everyone had a few coconuts in their hands~

Ten minutes later, when the group returned to the office, Ted took out a knife, gently sliced the coconut skin, took out a king-sized shell from it, found three small eyes, and stabbed it gently! A strong breath of life swept through the entire City Lord's Mansion with the steaming heat in the house.

"It's 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 on the beach, the cool sea water hitting her feet... The touch of sand flowing through your toes... There is also ~ a scene where I hugged and kissed the viscount on the beach.

She smirked unconsciously, fantasizing about her toes clutching her shoes, as if she were experiencing the ultimate enjoyment...

The same is true of Alice, who, unlike Mia, thinks of her compatriots who are still on the other side of the continent, still in chains, doing impossible tasks, struggling on the brink of life and death every day, barely surviving on a mouthful of moldy bread.

Compared to these two sentimental girls, Ted is much more straightforward, Harazi flowed all over the ground, and couldn't wait to pour the juice into the cup, and then drank it all!

“ah！” Freshness sweeps over the body, and the familiar taste evokes memories of what was once sour...

It's just that none of that matters!

He took out two more cups and woke up the two girls who were daydreaming, and let them taste them...

"You two, come and try it!"

"Yes, sir!"

After drinking, everyone applauded!

After that, Ted asked the people in the mansion to come and try it too!

Now! A special drink on earth, with yourself, reborn here! Become a popular drink!

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

In the empire, there was no such thing as sugar, and if the people wanted to enjoy the taste of 'sweet', they had to extract it from fruits, or replace it with sweet 'poisons' such as bivalent lead salts and calomite.

Ted didn't intend to fool the people with these things, eating too much of that stuff would lead to a dead end!

Build greenhouses as soon as possible, make a batch of sugarcane, use the soil method to refine white sugar, sell it cheaply to the people in your own territory, and then sell it to the nobles, and make their leeks hard!

Once this kind of thing appears, it must be a national-level strategic material, and the method of production is only known to oneself, and the material can only be produced in the north.

If someone with bad intentions came to steal the formula, or used it as an excuse to attack the north, he would take men with him, with rifles and bullets in his hand, and send them to God.

In order to advance the progress, Ted decided that the bullet propellant and detonator would be handled by himself!

And he never thought that the profession in the previous life did not play a role in the previous life, but it came in handy in the next life!

The initiating charge requires alpha short column lead azide, and it is not too difficult to synthesize this thing, but it is a matter of how much it is produced.

As for the propellant ... Just use single-base gunpowder ~ nitrocellulose, this thing is a kind of smokeless gunpowder, mostly used for guns and small-caliber guns, and there is no difficulty.

In short, it is not difficult to synthesize these two things, it just takes a little time to become proficient, and then find a few helpers~ It is better to set up a small production line to provide ammunition for at least one company of teams.

It should not be a problem to hand over the warhead to the mechanical trainees, and three months of debugging is enough!

That kind of thing about black powder ... There are too many drawbacks, so it's better to wait for the factory to be idle and use it to make fireworks to set off the atmosphere...
