Become the city lord from today
Chapter 29
"well! What should we do? The price of coarse wheat has increased again. It costs five copper coins per catty, and refined wheat has risen to seven copper coins per catty. Who can afford it?"
"yes! We will starve to death before the wheat harvest comes."
"Damn it, those unscrupulous grain merchants raise prices every year at this time. Master Liu Feng finally came and exempted us from a lot of taxes. However, those grain merchants increased their prices by one copper coin more than in previous years.……"
Buff's face was solemn. He could hear sounds like this all the time while walking on this road, which made him want to kill those unscrupulous grain merchants.
These days, he lived a very full life. During the day, he was busy with the things assigned by the city lord. At night, he went to the military camp to teach those big stupid birds.
Buff suddenly thought of the school he had reopened. Three days had passed and no one had signed up. This made him think wildly.
Is there nothing the city lord can do? But those white papers that could be written on gave him a little hope, although he didn't know why those slightly yellowish papers were called white papers.
Buff was thinking wildly all the way. He was going to see the Lord of the City now and wanted to report some urgent matters. Of course, if he came during lunch, he might be ten times more willing.
For example, what if the city lord suddenly invited him to eat steak again? Buff thought of his little grandson at home, clamoring for more steak. His wife, son and daughter-in-law looked at him with adoring eyes, which made him feel a little carried away.
But now this matter is more urgent. He has to report to the city lord quickly. This is related to the life and death of Xiyang City.
Buff soon met him in Liu Feng's study. This was the first time that Buff entered the Lord's study.
"Huhu……"Buff's breathing was rapid. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at the things in the study for fear of fainting.
Luxurious and gorgeous are the only words that Buff can describe. He saw many legendary things recorded in books here, such as the transparent crystal glass cup, which he heard was only owned by kings.
"Buff, sit down! Liu Feng put down the water glass and pointed to the chair in front of the desk,"What do you want to do today?" Did I ask you to come so early in the morning?"
Buff saluted respectfully, then sat on the chair with half his buttocks. He was very nervous. To receive him in the study room full of treasures was because the city lord trusted him.
"Sir, someone found traces of orcs in the mountains and forests to the west."After Buff finished speaking, he glanced at the cat-eared girl sitting on the desk.
Mina stuffed the pastry into her mouth, paused slightly, and moved her tail uneasily.
"Orcs? how many people?"Liu Feng became interested. He had only seen Mina, an orc, for more than a month after he came to this world.
"My lord, a hunter has scouted, and there are more than a dozen orcs. Buff looked solemn,"I suspect it is the vanguard of the orcs. They will come to rob it during the autumn harvest." Liu
Feng nodded lightly, resting his chin with one hand and tapping his fingers on the table,"Do you think these orcs will come to rob wheat like in previous years?""
"Uh... Only a few orcs came to Xiyang City to steal in the past years, but I heard that several other cities were robbed by large numbers of orcs."Buff scratched his cheek.
Liu Feng knew that the location of Xiyang City was relatively remote and the land was relatively barren, and the orcs could not rob anything, so they rarely came here.
Horse thieves composed of humans, and thieves composed of orcs , are all hazards during the autumn harvest. In order to survive, they only steal things.
Many orcs live in the Forbidden Mountains. They must find enough food before winter comes, otherwise the four-month long winter will come. Starved to death.
Mina had spent the cold winter in the Forbidden Mountains before. She was slightly in a trance. She thought of Enri and thought they should go to the south, right?
"I get it, I'll draw attention to the orcs. Liu Feng nodded, changed the topic and asked,"Has anyone been attending your night school these days?""
"night school?"Buff was a little confused. After thinking about this new word, he knew it was describing his college. He quickly responded,"Sir, no one comes to my night school to learn literacy."
"Don't worry, someone will be there tonight."As expected, Liu Feng took out a roll of paper from the painting vat beside him, handed it to Buff and said,"Put this on the bulletin board."
Buff knew what the bulletin board was. It was a wooden wall erected in a small square. It was erected by the city lord. The city lord didn't like to go out and make announcements, so he would post his requests on the bulletin board.
He also felt that he should not let it The Lord of the City went out to shout something, which was too unbecoming of a nobleman. He would post something on the bulletin board and read it out to everyone. This feeling fascinated him.
Buff took the roll of paper, slowly opened it, and saw the request above. , couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in a voiceless voice,"Sir, how is this possible?"
"Why not? Anyway, there are still twenty days until the autumn harvest, so they are usually idle, right? Liu Feng said calmly.
Buff said anxiously,"But this is really unfair to you. Everyone is taking advantage of you.""
"The entire Xiyang City belongs to me. Whoever can take advantage of me, Barfu, you have to open your mind. Liu Feng was a little dumbfounded,"Okay, just do as I ask.""
"Please collect, please flowers, please vote."
