Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Liu Feng turned around and took out the pen, and skillfully signed his name written in another world. This scene has been done many times in the past few days.

Nicole said she was Liu Feng's head maid, but she was actually a secretary. This was due to Liu Feng's ugly handwriting, which was usually written by Nicole.

"Okay." Liu Feng rubbed Nicole's hair and said with a light smile, "If they want to increase the price of their wheat, let them raise it. I hope they don't rot in their hands."

He had thought of a brilliant plan. I am afraid that no one will buy the wheat of those people after a while, and they will lose all their money when the autumn harvest comes.

"Yeah!" Nicole blushed and ran away, she was going to convey Liu Feng's order.

"Mina, go check out these grain merchants tonight, I want to know who is standing behind them." Liu Feng said with a slightly cold face.

"No problem, leave it to me." Mina took out a saber and said confidently.

Chapter 0020 Nobles are the biggest horse thieves?

Carter was in a very happy mood at this time. He looked at the five 'crystal glass cups' on the table, and every time he saw them, he could eat an extra bowl of rice.

He carefully picked up a glass, looked at the clean and transparent glass, and could vaguely see his own appearance on it, and his mood was even more joyful.

"If that Liu Feng knew that someone had already bid fifteen gold coins for this crystal glass cup, how would he feel?" Carter was even more happy when he thought of this.

He decided not to sell these five 'crystal glass cups', but to keep them as family heirlooms. Maybe in ten or twenty years, one of them could be sold for a hundred gold coins.

"Bang bang..."

There was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Fez hurried in.

"Boom!!!" The door was instantly closed.

"How many times have I said, don't be too hasty in doing things." Carter reprimanded.

"Yes." Fez took a deep breath, glanced at the glass, and his impatience improved a little.

"Say it? Baron Omar, are you unwilling to cooperate with us?" Carter took the glass and carefully wiped it.

"He is willing to cooperate, but he wants to recruit our knights, and he wants thirty of them."

Fez said angrily, "We only have forty knights in total, and he asked for thirty at once, which is too much."

The forty knights, that is, the entire force of Carter, Fez and his son, is one of the confidences they dared to sell the territory to Liu Feng.

For a territory of five or six thousand people, they can only gather forty knights, no, it should be said that they can only support forty knights.

It costs too much to raise a knight. A single set of armor, weapons, and maintenance cost several gold coins, as well as horses, salaries, etc., which cost a lot of money.

Carter could afford to support forty knights, which he accumulated over many years.

During the war, the knights are officers, and then they go to the territory to force civilians to join the army and make up a miscellaneous army.

This is the army model of another world. Everyone raises knights, and they will be used as officers during wars, so the cost will be much lower.

"What else did Baron Omar say?" Carter paused as he wiped the cup, and he was also taken aback by this request.

"We will share 20% of the proceeds, and we are also asked to buy a hundred orc slaves." Fez said angrily.

"Twenty percent?" Carter thought about it, and asked in a low voice, "Did you say to snatch that city?"

"Beifeng City, I heard that the city's defenses are poor, and there are only a dozen or so knights. Even if they recruit civilians, there will be about a hundred people." Fez replied quickly.

"Tell Baron Omar that we can send out thirty knights, and let them snatch Xiyang City by the way. I want that Liu Feng's head." Carter grinned, showing a mouthful of big black teeth, reflected in the glass, It looked very gloomy.

"Father? Why is this? Xiyang City should be worthless, let him manage it for a while, and we can harvest it in spring, wouldn't it be good?" Fez Fei explained.

Carter changed to a glass and wiped it, and said indifferently, "The autumn harvest is coming, that batch of wheat should be worth a lot of money, plus Baron Omar's 20% of the income, the money to buy a nobleman should be enough."

Fez looked at the glass, widened his eyes, and said in astonishment, "Father, are you going to abandon Xiyang City?"

He knew that his father was reluctant to sell the 'Crystal Glass Cup', so he suddenly changed his mind and used other methods to raise money.

"In that barren land, the wheat planted is not as good as every year. It's time to change the territory. Let's buy a nobleman in a richer place." Carter said calmly.

"Who will sell the captured Xiyang City to?" Fez nodded approvingly, "Even if it is sold for a dozen gold coins."

"There is a big businessman who is willing to pay 20 gold coins to buy Xiyang City, hoping to move into the castle next spring." Carter said with a chuckle.

"Oh? Is there another fool?" Fez said excitedly.

Carter changed another glass to wipe it again, and said with a smile on his face, "These businessmen are very yearning for the status of aristocrats."

"Hey...that's ridiculous, they are worthy of being nobles even if they smell of copper all over their bodies?" Fez sarcastically said, his eyes full of disdain.

"It's just an upstart, not worth mentioning."

Carter waved his hand, paused, and said, "By the way, let the knights pay attention and ask them to capture more female slaves. I heard that the big nobles in the inland side like thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. They should be able to sell them. A good price."

"Understood." Fez responded casually.

For the two of them, those lowly untouchables are like cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and they will be harvested when they are fertile.

"By the way, doesn't Baron Omar want orc slaves? Go buy a hundred more orcs and send them over. Anyway, as long as they are given food, those beasts will do their best." Carter wiped all five glasses.

"Okay, nothing else. There are quite a lot of orc slaves. Those slave traders will catch some every day."

Fez's face was full of disgust. To him, those orcs were no different from animals.

"There are still twenty days before the autumn harvest. Those beasts should go crazy, and they may die a lot this year."

Chapter 0021 The difference between heaven and hell.

The night in Xiyang City is very quiet, the sky is full of dark clouds, blocking the moonlight, which provides a lot of convenience for people with ulterior motives.

The dark street was quiet, but it was full of sour smell, which made Mina, a cat orc, very annoying. She missed her soft bed in the castle, and the unusually soft quilt.

I heard from the young master that it is a quilt made of the feathers of many ducks, called an eiderdown quilt...it should be that? She still missed the refined rice porridge more, and she decided to eat three bowls of lean meat and refined rice porridge after the task was completed.

Mina walked silently, not at a slow pace, her eyes scanned her surroundings vigilantly, her cat ears fluttered, and she walked in the shadows.

Her goal is to be in the east of Xiyang City, where there are rich people living there. Today she got the news that those few grain merchants will gather in one of them.

After Mina touched the place where the grain merchants gathered, she found that it was very lively. Compared with the lives of other people, it was basically two worlds.

From the shadow corner, Mina entered the hall on the beam without a sound. She looked at the food kept placed by the maids below, and couldn't help curling her lips, which didn't arouse her appetite at all.

The big chunks of pork below, and the wheat bread made of refined wheat, are all piled on the table, and there are jugs of wheat wine.

If Mina had seen these foods three or four days ago, she might have drool, and she would feel very satisfied after taking a bite.

But now, she is full of disdain. The big piece of pork boiled in salt water can smell fishy from a long distance; the arm-thick wheat bread may be used as a stick.
