Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and immediately after, a kind-looking middle-aged man opened the door and came to Ted.

"My lord, I have a document here that I need you to look through."

Listening to the voice, Ted stopped what he was doing...

The person in front of him is called Nicholas Duckholm, and he is Chris's father, that is, the ruthless man who helped his father drown more than a hundred illegitimate children.

However, that is all in the past, and Ted knows very well in his heart that this is an aristocratic tradition, and he is also forced to be helpless!

In the past time, the middle-aged man has been repenting of his actions all the time.

It's not his fault, it's only the world...

"Okay, I'll take a look. By the way, where did Chris go? Shouldn't you be retired at home? ”

"Hi... My son, I don't know what he's up to. Nicholas took off his hat and nodded in respect: "He just found me to deliver the papers, and I just happened to be idle, so I went out for a walk..."

"That's right—" Ted took the file and skimmed through it roughly.

The content in it is a plan for resources, and it needs to be signed by yourself to take effect, which is not a special emergency, but in order not to delay the operation of the city, it is always right to sign it in time.

It's just that... Chris was busy over there and didn't have any extra manpower, so he got the idea of a retired dad and asked him to come out and run errands and exercise.

"Click!"

After signing and stamping the stamp, just as he put the stamp back in the drawer, Ted spotted the image on the Coke can, which was exactly the same as Nicholas in front of him.

Although Nicholas is not that old, his honest and chubby appearance is very pleasing.

So, a magical idea popped into my head again.

"I remember Christmas was first without Santa Claus... And this Santa Claus..."

"There it is!"

Ted put away his belongings and handed the document to Nicholas: "You give this document to Chris, and then come back, I have something to talk to you about." ”

"No problem, my lord!"

In Ted's last life, when he was a child, the Christmas he knew came completely from the cultural packaging of Lao Mei, and that Christmas could be said to have nothing to do with religion.

At first, Ted didn't know it was a religious holiday, only that a kind Santa Claus would fly through the sky in a sleigh pulled by reindeer, burrow through the chimney, and throw a bulging sock full of presents to the child.

Other than that, I don't know who Jesus is, whose birthday it is, and what religion it is, except for the stars on the Christmas tree, the socks full of gifts, and the shopping spree of the parents.

During this time, the merchant will empty the warehouse and the price will be broken, and the money that can buy one can of candy can buy two cans for Christmas...

"There it is! Then I'm going to make a 'Santa Claus' too! I've got to keep it in my hands for the adults, and I'm going to earn the money for the kids! It's just that the name of this 'Santa Claus' has to be changed! ”

After thinking about it, Ted decided to make up a 'gift old man' himself, a name that was so simple and crude that he could tell what he did at a glance!

"Well, I'll have to write it down!" Ted spread out the stowed plan drawings and wrote them out.

"On the last day of the year, the gift-giver gives gifts to the underage children..."

With this gift, the old man can not only further weaken the status of hostile religious forces in the hearts of children, but also prepare for himself to bring goods in the future.

After all, no one would refuse a kind old man who could give himself a gift!

The contents of the red bag behind them are sure to attract a lot of attention.

First use the Sun God Cult to grab territory, grab people's hearts, clean up the streets, and make all cities clean and tidy like the north, and then use the 'gift old man' to bring goods to themselves and consolidate their position.

When the time comes, like a certain cola company, the image of this cute and kind white-bearded fat old man will be pasted all over the streets and alleys, and everyone's hearts will be occupied with overwhelming advertisements!

Now, regardless of men, women, young and old, they will be taken care of by themselves!

That's what Lao Mei did back then, and if you copy it yourself, it shouldn't be a big problem, just pay attention to the details.

Then, little by little, through this means, grasp all the discourse rights in the empire, and after controlling the empire and pushing Steve to the throne, then open a school, so that these fools can slowly awaken and become a person with the ability to think independently.

"This plan is so perfect! I'm so smart! ”

Before the newbie village is released, the next plan has already been arranged!

When the time comes, as long as you plan and make a little flexibility, you will be able to control the empire just around the corner!

"Hey, hey, hey..."

...

Of course, Ted knew that the journey would not be so smooth, and that he would be more likely to be disrupted by the flying calamity.

But that doesn't make it a reason to give up, let alone an excuse to mess up! If you have chosen the bloodless path, you must reduce the number of casualties as much as possible.

If it's just-for-tat, it's better to stay in the novice village and save enough money to buy bombs and raise all the churches in the empire...

"It's so decided, save a wave of resources first, and act immediately when the snow melts!"

'Dangdang! Just as Ted put down his pen, there was a knock on the door.

Listening to the footsteps, it doesn't look like Chris, and it doesn't look like the other people who came to deliver the papers...

"Come in!"

Ted cleaned up the items on the table and rang his bell so that anyone who was surprised could come in.

The door was opened, led by John, next to Thomas, and followed in, and a board cart, I don't know what it was loaded on, but if you look closely, you can still see that it is ice...

At such a distance, Ted couldn't see what was sealed in the ice, so he could only wait for them to explain their intentions!

Although the two people who came to cooperate tacitly, they always felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that there was a conflict?

Before Ted could ask, Thomas was the first to speak, "My lord, can you use this material for me first?" ”

"Huh! Thomas, just said that it was a good person and a half, what? Do you want to eat more now? Monopolizing all precious metals? John pointed to the cart behind him, spread his hands and complained loudly.

"Precious metals?" Ted stood up and used the system's capabilities to probe the strangely shaped ice crystals in front of him.

[Detection target: precious metal mixture,

Rich in: chromium, manganese, titanium...

Most of these items come from the feces of ice dragons...]

After reading this introduction, Ted's jaw dropped, and with a bit of luck, he stretched out his right hand and made a 'stop' motion.

"Don't fight between the two of you, tell me where this thing came from?"

Thomas was quick to speak, and after turning around, without the slightest hesitation, he scratched his head and looked at Ted and said, "This is Lady Highington's!" ”

Ted froze in place, covering his mouth and staring at Thomas with wide eyes to confirm if he was joking.

"Your Excellency!" John turned his head and stepped lightly on Thomas, and scolded angrily: "You idiot, you have to say which lady it is, how can an adult react?" ”

"Stop!" Ted quickly stopped the conversation between the two, quickly stood up, and walked to the ice crystals in front of him...

"How many ice crystals are there?"

"This... There is..."Thomas was about to speak, but John gagged him: "Let me tell you!" ”

"Lord Hui, there are five such ice crystals... Lump? This one is a small one, and there are a few large long ones, and there is more metal in there! ”

"Well... Ahem... You take it back and divide it, first one and a half, don't grab it, I'll go home and figure out how this thing came from? What is the principle! ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

Ted's skeptical face was revealed, and he quickly put on his coat and ran in the direction of home...

As soon as the lord left, John scuffled with Thomas!

"Thomas, you dare to backstab me and rob me of my resources, I'm not done with you!"

"Cut! You won't need those new weapon samples! I'm the man who wants to build the locomotive! ”

"Whew! Look at the moves! ”

"Huh! John, you have a wife, why are you bullying me as a bachelor? Thomas made a nirvana, and John stopped at once.

John, as a man with a wife, bullied a single dog is unreasonable: "... Okay, let you go this time, don't rob me of my resources next time! ”
