King’s Kingdom

Chapter 137: leisurely winter

The next day, Theodosius didn't get out of bed until twelve o'clock at noon. He was really tired last night, and the feeling of hangover was still lingering, which was really a headache.

Let the maids from the outside of the room come to serve, and the water has been boiling on the stove. When Theodosius woke up, he hurriedly poured hot water into the basin, and then added some cold water, and kept it at a lukewarm temperature. After the temperature, a maid came over with a water basin, and another maid came over with a towel and handkerchief.

Theodosius washed his face indiscriminately, and washed his hair along the way. Because his hair was not long, he could simply clean it.

After washing, he took a glass of water handed over by the maid, rinsed his mouth and spit the water into the basin. Shorts and trousers, a heavy lined top, and a pale orange robe that dropped down to the calf.

A luxurious, gilt and inlaid belt with many jewels was wrapped around his waist, tightening his waist, forming a sharp contrast with the upper body, and setting off his figure with a powerful force.

Sitting on a chair in the room, the table in front of the chair has already set his breakfast.

Although he is a king, but the culture here is like this, breakfast is generally very casual, even if he is the king of a country, the food in the morning is only half a piece of bread and a piece of stewed beef, with some spices sprinkled Boiled vegetables is a king's breakfast.

He was bored and chewed the bread in his mouth. He really had no appetite. He picked up the cup and took a sip. It was not bad. It was a low-alcohol white fruit wine. Similar to juice, much cleaner than ordinary water.

The nobles of the Lanyin Kingdom used to be full of fear of water. Although this wild liquid represents cleanliness and cleanliness in the polytheistic church, the reaction of people after drinking water is not the same.

Drinking unheated water is very easy to infect bacteria and bring various diseases to people. Nobles are better, not only their own blood and genes are strong, which makes them more resistant to germs, and there is medical treatment that civilians cannot have. resource.

But even so, nobles may still get sick from drinking water, so in a serious plague more than 400 years ago, a large number of nobles believed that the disease was caused by water, and their dislike of water was more serious than before. .

In the past, at most, they used alcohol to drink water, and they never drank water. During the epidemic, most of the nobles refused to take a bath, just to avoid the so-called water epidemic.

Later, there were several sects of the Polytheistic Church, including the Church of the God of War, and the Church of the God of Light, the Church of the God of Fruitfulness, all participated in it, and the behavior of not taking a bath was strictly prohibited.

Because it was mentioned in the oracle more than 4,000 years ago: "Water is the source of life, a clean thing, and has the function of cleaning the essence of all impurities."

This kind of statement is not only the Church of the God of Light, the Church of the God of War, the Church of the Jungle God, and the Church of the God of Fertility, but almost all mainstream religions around the world have such a statement. After receiving such a warning, the nobles naturally dare not continue. I go my own way.

Seeing that bathing not only does not spread diseases, but reduces the occurrence of diseases, people on the mainland start to love bathing again.

However, not drinking water is still retained as a habit and tradition among the nobles, because after all, drinking raw water is indeed easy to get sick.

The Lanyin Kingdom was not the case. A few months after Theodosius came to this world, he couldn't bear to drink every day, so he asked his servants to prepare some water for him.

After learning that these waters are raw water that has not been heated, he immediately said that the water should be boiled and let cool before drinking, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases, and immediately promote it in China.

Although the king's speech has not yet reached the point of following the law, but under the execution of officials and nobles, it has spread throughout the entire Lanyin Kingdom in just a few months.

Although the habit of drinking hot water puts more pressure on the firewood, it can effectively prevent illness and has been supported by everyone, not to mention Theodosius also opened the royal forest.

The forests of the entire Lanyin Kingdom are theoretically owned by the royal family. This is the prerogative of most kings in the world. The forests and rivers are all caused by the wars of the kings against the monsters. Except for the plains, these terrains belong to the royal family. property.

Although it does not prohibit everyone from using the resources inside, but it has to pay taxes.

That's right, in fact, this is a tricky way to collect taxes. Like the so-called first night rights, I can't stop you from chopping down trees and stealing wood, so I can only collect money in this name.

Theodosius opened the royal forest to exempt the tax, and stipulated that no deforestation was allowed. In this way, people's fuel problem was effectively solved.

After eating the food on the table, Theodosius picked up an unfinished novel-style history book from the table.

This book tells the story of how Saint King Ende went from a knight who lost his territory to meeting all the excellent companions~lightnovelpub.net~An Liang who has made a comeback. Although it is said that the stories in this are all prototypes, the tendency of artistic processing is too high. Da, as a novel, it is indeed excellent, but as a history, it is not qualified.

When Theodosius saw this thing, it was Tu Yile. After all, this kind of novel was a bit similar to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it made him read it with relish.

After watching it for about an hour, he raised his head and moved his eyes, stood up from the chair, twisted his body back and forth, walked to the window and pushed open the wooden window, he suddenly found that snow was already falling outside.

A burst of cool air drifted in through the window, and the thorny Critidos frowned: "Why, let no one sleep, why open a window in the winter?"

She was also very tired last night, she fell into sleep with exhaustion, and has not woken up for ten hours now.

"It's snowing outside, don't sleep, don't sleep, let's go say hello to my father, and then go out for a walk, how about it?" Theodosius looked at the window and said to Critidos on the bed.

Kritidos frowned and closed her eyes tightly, as if struggling.

"Okay, okay!" After a while, Critidos got up from the bed with a jolt, and said, "Just go, but I warn you, don't disturb my sleep next time!"

Theodosius smiled and nodded. This was not the first time he had woken Kritidos, nor was it the first time she had said this, and it was not the first time he nodded. This kind of relationship between husband and wife The promise is about the same effect as farting.

Dressed in appropriate and decent clothes, Critidos was pulled out of the room by Theodosius holding hands and walked towards the room where Bolet Khan was. In addition to greeting Bolet Khan today, We also need to find a way to get some people out of the opposing army.
