"My lord, that's about it... The girl with wings and a single garment ate ate 100 people's rations, and said she was full..."

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

"Yes, she flew away when she was done! And said that it will come back tomorrow! Judging by the scout's observations, this mysterious girl should be on the top of the mountain! ”

"On the mountain?" Ted touched his slightly grown beard and kept muttering, "On the mountain? Can fly? Could it be... Is it a snow girl or a white-headed snow sculpture? Or something else? ”

Suddenly, just as Ted was muttering, the snow was falling even louder outside!

Chris, who has the best instincts in the territory, thinks of the Ice Age in the history books.

"Could it be... Not good! He clutched his head and crawled all the way to Ted.

"Oh no, my lord, the ice period may be coming, and if the prediction is correct, the last snow of the year will be delayed until June!"

"June?" Ted was dumbfounded, if it was really as Chris predicted, let alone building a factory, it would be a problem to even maintain the existing production capacity!

When the ice season fell, the hydroelectric generators went directly to GG, all factories were closed, the baths were closed, and the workshops and laboratories had to suspend operations.

"Hey," Ted frowned, trying to figure out what to do...

It is not difficult to survive the ice period, but how to survive the ice period smoothly and without delay is even more difficult.

"Forget it, let's think about the ice period first... The factory construction plan is temporarily suspended! Chris, you go and gather the people at the town hall, and we'll have an impromptu meeting in the evening to discuss what to do! ”

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

Because none of this is a problem, and why panic just now... It's just to set off the atmosphere, because it's a once-in-a-millennium ice period! It's even rarer than a comet hitting a planet!

As the interim mayor of the North, how can I be... Be anxious!

...

At 9 p.m., the room was packed, and as it was the first time that the issue of the 'Ice Age' was being discussed, Ted had some outstanding citizens join the meeting as delegates.

Of course, this may also be the last time these people will attend this type of meeting, after all, according to historical records, this thing can come once every 900~1100 years, and it is almost impossible for humans to live that long, and it is possible that the moon elves present will see the next time.

It's just that... The Moon Elves present didn't even know what the Ice Age was, they just felt... The more snow, the better, because then there will be more water and no one will die of thirst.

According to the arid environment where the Moon Elves lived before, there is no need to worry about water here, and it can even be wasted as much as you want! With that alone, the Moon Elves don't want to move their nests!

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

...

Before the meeting began, everyone was scared of this familiar and unfamiliar 'topic', and many people were even covered in cold sweat as if they were facing a great enemy!

The Moon Elves collectively had gloomy faces, they had just arrived, and they hadn't yet understood what the 'Ice Age' was, thinking that there would be terrible monsters attacking during the Ice Season! So don't dare to slack off!

The atmosphere around him was getting colder and colder, and when the atmosphere was at its lowest point, Ted spoke:

"First of all, don't panic, the ice period ends at the end of June, we should lack nothing, except for the harsh environment, it is difficult to walk an inch after leaving the city, and we basically have no impact on us in the city, after all, 'this is not what it used to be'..."

"Because of the special abilities of the Moon Elves, we can survive the Ice Age smoothly this time, so here, I want to invite everyone and salute them!"

The moon elves who came to the meeting were a little embarrassed when they saw that the lord was so polite: "My lord, don't do this, you took us in and liberated us, you don't have to be like this..."

Ted was not hypocritical, but stood up and shook hands with the elderly moon elf old man: "Tribulation sees the truth, we are a family, then I won't talk about two families!" ”

After returning to his seat and taking his seat, Ted told the truth about Chris's judgment and the plan he had come up with on the fly, and after the planning was completed, everyone present was no longer nervous.

"Ahem, to sum it up... It's just that no matter how long the ice period is, we are not afraid, everything is working as it should, except for the sugar and canned food, and some handicraft workshops will be affected and closed, and there will be a little less meat. ”

"But that's not a problem, because the shops are mine, according to our treatment plan, according to the new law in the north, accidents caused by force majeure factors, the rent can be exempted by up to 65 percent, which will be borne by the government, and the remaining 35 percent can be converted into long-term interest-free loans and added to the commercial tax afterwards."

...

On the issue of money, Ted looked through the history books of the 21st and 22nd centuries, referred to the 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 you have already done...

Then open up jobs, such as the breeding industry that Ted has always been thinking about, and let those who were originally in small businesses go to raise chickens and pigs.

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

After the crisis passed, the consumption tax was raised slightly to make up for the previous overbudget, and the 1976 Montreal Olympics spent a lot of debt, and that's how it was paid...

Fortunately, the empire has a tradition of issuing national debt, and Ted does not have to reinterpret it.

Those who responded to their call were also those who had come to work before, and they had a lot of wages in their hands, and now they sold some suitable 'northern bonds' to borrow money from them, which can be regarded as a way to deal with it.

This process is not special news, it is used in almost all countries, and Ted has just learned it.

...

"As for the meat... Just eat more vegetables... No big deal. ”

"Again, I'm never a bad person to you, let alone bully your own people, I'm sure you've heard my plan from anyone, but those are too early, let's not talk about it yet..."

Ted didn't know who had spread his plan, and intuitively it wasn't Chris, most likely the fanatics who believed in him.

They would always boast about how great they were in their spare time, and at one point even tied people who didn't want to take a shower to the stake, which would have caused a catastrophe if Chris hadn't stopped it in time.

During this time, Ted, as a lord, did not object or forbid them, but only emphasized that they should behave in accordance with the law.

This kind of tolerance has also indirectly led to the growing power of this force.

According to the statistics a few days ago, Chris gave a report that there is one Ted fanatic in every five people, most of them are strong and powerful young people, control most of the voice, and they are all good citizens...

So far, Ted hasn't come up with a solution, he doesn't want to discourage everyone, such a fanatic who answers his call will infect the people around him, and he enjoys it.

Therefore, he planned to put this issue aside for a while, and wait for the territory to improve.

...

After a series of discussions, all the delegates signed and reached an agreement!

"Whew... Okay, my brothers and sisters, tell this information to the people around you as much as possible, so that they don't worry, this cold period, you can directly ignore him, do what you have to do, if the dung team can't get out of the city, you can burn it on the spot, choose different places according to the wind direction, in short, don't let this smell sweep the whole city~"

"Hahahaha..."The crowd burst into laughter, and all the unpleasantness was blown away by the lord's vulgar humor.

"In that case, let's all go home and sleep!"

"Yes, sir!"
