Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

The silk mentioned in the ancient Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty on the earth is the most representative embodiment. At that time, in the country outside Fanwai, the silk ribbons of the Tang Dynasty were the favorites. In their eyes, silk is just like gold. the existence of price.

"Mr. Tory, the fur you want is inside, come with me."

Liu Feng looked at Tori in a daze, a little stunned, what happened today, most people in the crowd were in a daze, and those eyes looking at him were a little penetrating.

"Oh? Ah? Here it is!" Tori stammered nervously, staying two steps away for fear of offending Liu Feng.

Now, Liu Feng also understands that today's appearance is a bit too strong, so he took the lead to enter the big market.

If he didn't go in first, those people might stand at the door for a whole day.

The big market is actually a big supermarket, which is a part of his future commercialization, and it can be regarded as a small part of the core area.

It's just that only some areas can be opened now, mainly the building complex is partially completed, but for Xiyang City, it is enough for the time being.

Chapter 0061 A new currency appears.

In the big market, Liu Feng was under the protection of Mina, An Li followed beside her with a notepad, ready to record what Liu Feng said, and Nicole followed behind with a bag straddling her.

The four of them looked a bit like the big boss taking his little secretary out to inspect. Of course, there will be dog-legged characters behind, such as Tori.

As soon as they entered the gate, they saw four male orcs standing at the gate of the big market, holding a two-meter-long wooden stick in their hands, and wearing clothes with some leather armor on their bodies.

The four orcs are the security guards of the big market. All four of them are vicious. Well, they are just a little ugly, which makes people unbearable to look at.

But it doesn't matter, what Liu Feng wants is this kind of feeling, which is so ugly that it's scary, and it's best to scare people into tears.

"Welcome to the big market!" The four orcs shouted in unison.

In fact, one of the four orcs was nervous. Three days ago, they had no idea that they would be doing such a high-profile job.

For them, security is a job that attracts everyone's attention. Didn't they see that everyone around them looked at them in awe?

"Very good, if someone is causing trouble, I'll arrest you." Liu Feng patted the orc on the shoulder and said affirmatively, "Those who like to steal things will be locked up in a small dark room after they are caught."

"Yes, yes!!" The four male orcs shuddered. They had tried that small black room before, and they swore that they would never go in again.

"Do things well, don't embarrass the young master, or I'll let Mina fix you." An Li frowned, pretending to be fierce, but her puffed-up face was just too cute.

An Li cherishes her current life very much, and cherishes the opportunity to change the human race's view of orcs, so she hopes that there will be no mistakes in the first step.

"Ming, I understand!" Seeing Mina's glance, the four orcs immediately straightened up, fearing that they would be repaired in the next second, and that was the rhythm of lying on the bed for several days.

"Let's go!"

When a group of people entered the big market, they saw several counters at the door, which were filled with many small objects.

"Huh? What are those?" An Li looked at the counter, there was a round thing with a wooden stick stuck in it.

"That's a lollipop. It's just sugar and wheat flour, and some dried fruit."

Nicole also took out a notepad and explained, "This is made by a chef in the City Lord's Mansion according to the young master's request. It is delicious."

Yes, the alien version of the lollipop has very little sugar and can only make people feel slightly sweet. After all, there is too little sugar in this era. He brought sugar cane, and he can only plant it next year. Lollipops with pure sugar content will only be mass-produced next year.

Liu Feng doesn't know that big shopping malls are planned. He can only plan according to his own ideas and experience in shopping malls.

He doesn't understand why big supermarkets and shopping malls place jewelry and cosmetics cabinets in conspicuous places at the entrance. He doesn't need to understand that people depend on food, so he will set up a cabinet selling sugar and snacks, which will be very popular.

"Candy? I want it!" Anli immediately stared at Liu Feng with little stars in her eyes.

"Then go buy it." Liu Feng chuckled, took out a handful of steel coins from his sleeve, and handed it to An Li, "Take this and buy it."

"Ah? What is this? It's not a copper coin, can I buy a lollipop?"

Anli held a steel coin in both hands, a little confused, she carefully picked up a steel coin, and found that the steel coin was very delicate, with exquisite patterns carved on it, with a big '1' in the middle and a small one on the right. The word 'corner' of the number.

"A dime? When did this currency appear?" Mina stretched her head, looked at the steel coin and asked strangely, "Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Of course, you'll know once you buy it." Liu Feng smiled lightly, and gently pushed An Li away, "Let's try it!"

An Li was pushed ahead, and several people came to the counter. There was already a female orc waiting here. She was a bear female orc. Tall and fat were synonymous with her.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

She resisted the thought of saying hello to Anli and Mina. She had been trained for two days, so she couldn't be rude in front of the city lord.

"Huh? It's Chubby Bear. You're actually a candy seller. I'm so envious." An Li pouted. She was envious of someone who could look at candy all day long.

Chubby Xiong knows the hobbies of his eldest sister, the kind that does not like sugar, but she is a part-time worker. She has just started working, but she has no salary yet, and the food and lodging are still in the city lord's mansion. Otherwise, she will buy it for the eldest sister from her own pocket. A bunch of candy too.

"I want a lollipop." Enri said expectantly.

"One lollipop, one dime, that is, one steel coin." Chubby Bear pulled out a lollipop from the cabinet and handed it to Enli.

"A dime?" An Li looked at the steel coin in her palm, and she began to understand a little. She took out a steel coin from her hand and gave it to Fat Bear, and then asked, "How many steel coins can a copper coin be exchanged for? That is, How many dimes?"

"One copper coin can be exchanged for ten steel coins." Fat Bear said quickly, these were trained in advance, and they simulated them here a day ago.

"I understand. A commoner would be reluctant to eat a lollipop for a copper coin. If it is exchanged for a steel coin, that is, a tenth of a copper coin, then the commoner would also be willing." An Li turned her little head, I understood Liu Feng's intention.

"If the price of a copper coin starts, this big market will not be able to continue to open, and the market that ordinary people cannot afford is not far from closing down."

Liu Feng said gently, commoners in this era are frugal and housekeepers, a catty of wheat costs two copper coins, if you tell him that a lollipop costs one copper coin, who will buy it? No civilian is willing to buy it, because it is unnecessary.

In fact, it is too expensive, just like in the 1980s and early 1990s on the earth, you can buy a lot of things for one dollar, and you can buy a big cup of melon seeds for one dime or two dime.

Therefore, the steel coins appeared in this way. Liu Feng can be regarded as an experiment. He will use the big market as a pilot. If it succeeds, the steel coins will naturally be distributed.

Then he will issue his own currency step by step, and then further replace copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, etc., so as to achieve hegemony in the currency market.

Of course, this is a long-term plan, and the premise is that Liu Feng's strength is strong enough.

Chapter 0062 Is this a place where civilians can come?

After Liu Feng entered the big market, the civilians behind kept pouring in. They heard that this place had been closed before, and there were constant beating sounds and exclamations inside, especially yesterday. , there was no screaming from inside.

After that, there were rumors that the big market is a place that everyone wants to come to, and even if they come, they don’t want to leave, and they always take something to leave when they want to leave.

This is the simplest propaganda. The big market not only has orcs working here, but also other civilians. The civilians who were trained in the big market yesterday were all stunned by the big market.

When the civilians first saw the four orc security guards, they were really startled, which made the noise they made when they entered the big market much quieter.

Carter and Fez also mixed in the crowd. When they saw the orcs, they frowned. Is this Liu Feng unused? Actually let the orcs come to work here?

The two of them suddenly felt that this big market should not be very good. Let the vulgar orcs guard the gate, how could it be better inside.

But it was impossible to quit, caught in the influx of people, people had to enter the big market, and when they entered, everyone was stunned.
