Become the city lord from today
Chapter 56
Carter and Fes, father and son, are on the fleet at this time. They came to remember their former territory. After all, they will leave here soon.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The father and son looked at the golden wheat ears on both sides of the strait and couldn't help laughing, which attracted strange looks from people on the fleet.
"Father, in more than ten days, these will be our trophies."Fez pointed at the wheat ears and said
"Just think of it as compensation for your many years of service to this territory, they won't blame us."Carter smiled coldly. In more than ten days, this place will be looted by horse thieves.
Today, he only came to Xiyang City. People always have feelings of nostalgia and want to see the place where they have lived for many years, and then run to a better place. life
"Father, is the news we got true? Is that Liu Feng really rebuilding Xiyang City? Isn't he just a broken person? Fez asked in a low voice.
Carter's turbid eyes flashed with a sharp light,"Although I don't understand why he made such a big move before the cold winter came, those grain merchants were killed, and the ones with BeiCity Trade, these two things show that Liu Feng is not stupid, he is also very smart, and he is definitely a ruthless person."
Yes, it is a lie to come to reminisce about the old land. He has long been tired of this barren land and wishes to stay far away. He will come back to Xiyang City today because he thinks it is profitable.
"Do you think Beifeng City has noticed something?"Fez's voice became even softer, and he looked around vigilantly.
"Um!"Kate nodded, looked at the Xiyang City dock not far away, and said indifferently,"If Beifeng City gets the news of the horse thieves' robbery, it is very likely that the property and materials will be smuggled to Xiyang City. Then,……"
Fez understood that if Beifeng City really cooperates with Xiyang City, then the value of Xiyang City will be even greater, and the profit will be no less than what the horse thieves robbed, and maybe more. After all, there is no need to share with Baron Omar.
Of course, everything must be true first, and then take back Xiyang City, then Beifeng City’s supplies will be at their disposal.
"Will Baron Omar notice something? If the benefits he robs are too few, I'm afraid he will take action against us."Fez said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I have a solution."Carter smiled mysteriously. The most important thing now is to check the truth of the matter first, and then he can make a decision.
Youshui River is a river flowing from the Forbidden Mountains. It is dozens of meters wide, and Xiyang City is in Youshui River. Next to a tributary of the Shuihe River, there is also a small dock for the fleet to dock.
Carter and Fez got off the fleet with a few guards, and then swaggered into Xiyang City. They had all disguised themselves, that is They were cutting some hair to make a beard.
The camouflage technique of this era was so simple and crude. Putting on a beard and wearing a turban made many civilians unable to recognize the two of them. As soon as they entered the city, Kat and Fes My eyes are straight, what is going on?
Who can tell us, are those untouchables crazy? They actually demolished the houses, built them with wooden boards, and filled them with mud. Can the houses built in this way be habitable? No Will it collapse if it rains?
But as the two of them walked further inside, they both stared at the boss. There were knocking sounds coming from the weird two-story houses. There were also the narrow houses that used to be narrow. The narrow, dirty and smelly road has now become a wide road, with clean ground, paved with unknown stones, hard, and similar in color to the walls of those houses.
There are also trees on both sides of the road, although There are no leaves, but it is conceivable that in the coming spring, there will be lush trees. What dazzles the two of them the most is that the untouchables are talking and laughing while working, and their movements are not slow. Such a situation , they have never seen it.
Think about it before, when Carter ordered people to go down and recruit men to work, a group of people looked like their parents were dead. They were all crying and dragging their feet on the work, just like an eighty-year-old man.
"Did Liu Feng cast some witchcraft on them? Why are you so happy working?"Fez stared and said in disbelief.
Carter's face was very ugly. These untouchables were slapping him in the face. Didn't they treat them badly before? They were given a lunch of wheat when they were recruited to work. Could it be that Liu Feng gave him a lunch of wheat? Salary?
From what he saw along the way, there were at least a thousand people working. Carter absolutely did not believe that Liu Feng would give him a salary. Even if it was just a lunch of wheat, Liu Feng would go bankrupt in less than three or four days.
"come here."
Kate had a gloomy face and pointed at the civilians passing by and ordered that he wanted to ask himself what was going on.
The civilian saw the clothes of Carter and the others and saw that they were people with status and did not dare to If you are offended, just go over obediently and say,"Are you looking for me? Carter had a cold face and asked in a deep voice,"Are you working for the city lord?""
"Yes, everyone works for the city lord."The civilian pointed at the people around him and said with a smile on his face.
"Why are you so happy working? Has the city lord paid your salary?"Fez couldn't help it and asked quickly
"Of course I did, the city lord is a good nobleman."The civilian said matter-of-factly. After speaking, he looked at Carter and the others strangely. He always felt that these people looked familiar.
"This is impossible. How could the city lord be able to pay the salaries of so many people? Carter didn't believe it and yelled angrily,"Are you trying to trick us?" Or is the city lord deceiving you?"
"Really, the Lord of the City will not deceive us if he pays us wages in wheat."
The common people were extremely angry and didn't care about their identities. They shouted unhappily,"You are not allowed to speak ill of the Lord of the City. He is the best noble in the world."
"Let me tell you, there used to be a nobleman named Carter. He only exploited us and conscripted us to work. He only gave us a meal of wheat and only half a bowl. He fainted from hunger and even poured cold water on us."
"The Lord of the City is much better than the original nobleman Carter, more than ten times better. Not only does he give us food to eat, but he also kills the grain merchants for us.……"
The common people said a lot of good things about Liu Feng, making both Carter and his son's faces blue with anger.
Co-authored, half husband, they have become negative teaching materials? Moreover, he said this in front of the two of them, and they couldn't refute anything. There were several civilians around, looking at the two of them with evil eyes. If you dare to speak ill of the Lord of the City, I will hammer you. meaning of a meal
"Asking for collections, asking for flowers, asking for evaluation votes, asking for everything."
