Become the city lord from today

Lu Ma stood under the bulletin board and kept reading the words on the bulletin board for those illiterate people.

"Stone grinding workers are required to be between 15 and 45 years old, with a salary of one pound of wheat, or one day's meals, literacy and stewardship, and an additional 20% salary."

"Mud stirrers are required to be between 15 and 45 years old, with a salary of one pound of wheat, or one day's worth of food, and a literate job as a steward, with an additional 20% salary."

"Porters are required to be between 20 and 45 years old, and their salary is one pound of wheat, or one day's worth of food. They are required to be literate and work as a steward, and their salary is increased by 20%."

"…………"

Lu Ma slowly read out more than a dozen tasks. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and read them to everyone non-stop.

Originally, this job was done by his father Baff, but Baff was called away by the city lord, and Lu Ma was promoted. He was also recruited by the city lord's mansion today, with a monthly salary of 110 copper coins, which was even higher than his father's. 10 copper coins lower.

Luma is very proud that he is literate, so his salary is higher than others. He is very grateful to his father Bav, who used a wooden stick to force him to study when he was a child.

He was thinking that the little kid at home should be old enough to read, so he should prepare a wooden stick when he goes back, just in case of emergencies.

"Mr. Luma, is what is written above true? Does the city lord need so many people to help him work?"

"Yes, except for the autumn harvest, there is nothing to do now"

"If it is true, then there is no need to buy five copper coins per pound of wheat. I would rather help the Lord of the City work."

Lu Ma smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said very seriously,"Don't worry, everything recorded above is true. If you want to do any job, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion to sign up. It will start soon."

"Okay, I'll go, I believe the Lord City Lord"

"The Lord of the City is such a good man. I will go too, so that those grain merchants will not be able to sell their wheat."

"Literacy salary is increased by 20%, hahaha... I am literate, I am literate……"

"It's great that I can actually read. It would be great if I could read. I didn't take literacy seriously when I was a child. I regret it now."

When Lu Ma heard this, he immediately thought of the academy run by his family and shouted quickly,"Everyone who wants to be literate can come to my academy at night. It only costs two copper coins a month."

"real? Just two copper coins? Lu

Ma nodded affirmatively,"This is decided by the city lord. I will teach literacy for two hours in the evening.""

"Wow! I want to sign up. I will go to Mr. Buff’s house tonight to learn how to read."

"Literacy salary plus 20%, I will definitely go"

"…………"

Lu Ma praised the city lord in his heart. It was really awesome. It aroused everyone's enthusiasm for literacy.

"Sir, can anyone really sign up to work?"

Suddenly a male voice in the stage of changing his voice sounded from the side, making Lu Ma subconsciously reply,"Yes, as long as you are willing, you can get wheat if you work."

"Thank you, sir."The man thanked him politely.

Lu Ma turned around and saw the back of a thin man with a circle of linen wrapped around his head."It's such a waste. It takes so much linen to wrap one's head."

Soon he returned to his passionate work and thought about city planning again.

"Everyone, if anyone lives in these areas, you can go to the City Lord’s Mansion to register, and the City Lord will help you build a new house.……"

There were people in front of the city lord's mansion, Niu Ben was presiding over the order, and Baff and several new recruits were registering the applicants.

Ax touched the linen on his head. He had sneaked into Xiyang City. The linen on his head took off the coat of another male orc, and then wrapped a pair of his horns to prevent him from being exposed.

His heart was beating very fast, fearing that someone would discover his identity as an orc. Once discovered, he would be sold as a slave even if he died.

This is what Sister Enri said. You must not reveal your identity as an orc in front of humans, otherwise you will be captured and used as a slave.

Ax came to inquire about Mina, and when he heard that he could receive wheat as long as he worked, he was immediately moved. Thinking that his companions had not had enough to eat for a long time, a pound of wheat could at least prevent people from starving to death.

He randomly found a team and lined up. His face was stiff and he looked at others very warily.

Half an hour later, it was finally his turn. The person who helped him register was a girl, an ordinary girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, the kind you can see casually on the roadside. There were a few freckles on her cheeks, which made her look full of vitality.

"May I have your name?"The girl smiled slightly and asked softly.

"ah?"Axe was suddenly a little at a loss when the girl smiled, and grinned shyly.

"Um? What's wrong? Don't you have a name?"The girl stared at the ax and asked softly.

"No, I have a name, my name is Ax."

Axe didn't know what was going on. When the girl saw him, his heartbeat soared. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

"Ax? How old are you? Where does the family live?"The girl lowered her head and wrote

"I...I'm fifteen years old. I live at home.……"Ax started hesitating, and he looked like someone who couldn't lie.

The girl raised her head, and she had already met several reactions like this, and said softly,"Do you live outside the city?"

"Yes Yes!"Axe responded quickly.

"What work do you want to do? If you are fifteen years old, you can do mud stirring work, which will be easier."The girl suggested softly.

"well."Axe nodded blankly.

"Hehe... idiot."The girl covered her mouth and smiled, and started writing quickly. Then she picked up a bamboo sign and gave it to the axe, and said,"Don't lose this bamboo sign. After work, you have to use this sign to get wheat or eat."

"well!"Axe nodded blankly, took the bamboo sign and ran away quickly.

"The human race isn't that scary. Go back and tell Sister Enri at night."

"Please collect, please flowers, please vote."
