Become the city lord from today
Chapter 88
Just when Liu Feng was thinking about how to generate income for Xiyang City, a small boat docked at the pier of Xiyang City.
"Why did Baron Omar fall in love with this shabby place?"
Leanne, the envoy of Liema City, stood on the boat and frowned at the dilapidated dock, especially some wooden platforms that had collapsed.
Lane is a not-so-popular civil servant in the Omar Barony and a local quasi-noble. One, who was once a knight, is now driven by Omar to become a civil servant.
Knights in this era are not aristocrats, but a class between civilians and aristocrats. They are also jokingly called quasi-aristocratic, which is what many civilians aspire to.
Knights only need If you make meritorious deeds, you are very likely to become a noble, or follow Liu Feng's example and buy a baronage in the west.
But few knights have savings. For example, Ryan only owns a dozen silver coins in his entire family property. He had worked hard for twenty years to save it.
The reason why Ryan was rushed to Xiyang City was because he heard that there were big changes in Xiyang City and asked him to come and have a look or test it out.
This is considered a hard job, for For Ryan, who is about to get married, it is definitely a hard job. He was not favored by Baron Omar in the first place. He was also stripped of his knighthood and changed his job to a clerk to deal with noisy civilian disputes in the territory.
"It seems that I can't make it in time for the wedding this time. I hope Lizao won't blame me."Ryan was not in a good mood. He was asked to go on a business trip before getting married. The only way to be in a good mood was to meet his lover.
He has never been able to integrate into Baron Omar's inner circle, only the outer circle, no, not even the outer circle. He is just an ordinary clerk who works for a salary.
Before Baron Omar came, he was a famous knight in Lima City, but now he is so depressed that he only works as a clerk doing chores. Is it because I refuted Baron Omar and what he did? A few unreliable things about?
"Sir, are you ready to enter Xiyang City now?"The servant asked diligently from the side.
He didn't know why the master was in a daze. He only knew that the master was very kind to him. That Baron Omar had been suppressing the master. Everyone in Liema City knew that Knight Ryan was too upright.
"Let's go to the city first. This remote town, a place where even traveling merchants rarely visit every year, is actually said to have undergone major changes."
Ryan shook his head. He didn't know what the person who spread the news thought, or whether Baron Omar was deliberately suppressing him and driving him away from Liima City.
"Tap tap tap……"
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Ryan turned his head and saw four or five carriages approaching the dock.
"call……"
The coachman stopped the carriage, and Yingya jumped out of the carriage and shouted politely,"Everyone, please help unload the salt, and I will give you two more steel coins.""
"Can!"
The coachmen hurriedly helped to carry the salt. They said it was extra income and did not have to be handed over to the city lord's palace.
Ryan stared blankly at this scene. Why did so much salt come from Xiyang? Can't the common people even buy salt? ?
With curiosity, Ryan came to Yingya and said,"Excuse me, why did you transport all the salt?"
"Are you from out of town? Ya smiled bitterly.
"Yes, I just came today!"
"You will know it when you go to Xiyang City."Yingya said dejectedly, it was a sad thing, why mention it again.
Ryan looked at Yingya walking away, confused. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Xiyang City, with a little curiosity in his eyes. Could it be Xiyang? The nobles in the city are too cruel? Even the salt merchants can't stay?
"Let's go!"Ryan led his servants towards Xiyang City.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they saw the wheat fields on both sides of the road and couldn't help but nod.
"The wheat is growing very well and it looks like it will be ready for harvest in just four or five days."Lian said with a smile. Anyone who sees a wheat field will be very happy.
"Tap tap tap……"
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Ryan and the two hurriedly hid on the side of the road. What they saw were the carriages carrying salt.
In the distance, before Ryan could speak, a coachman called out,"Two foreigners, do you want to take a carriage?"
Ryan was stunned, are all the people in Xiyang City so hospitable? He actually asked passers-by if they wanted to take a carriage?
"need!"Lian responded quickly. It's still a long way from here to Xiyang City.
The coachman stopped the carriage and said with a smile,"From here to Xiyang City, because we are out of the city, we need three steel coins per person. If you want, Just come up!"
The city lord has said that when you take foreign guests, you must explain clearly first, otherwise you will think that you are taking them out of kindness.
"Steel coins? What's this? Ryan paused for a moment, frowned and asked,"Did you make a mistake?" Is it a copper coin?"
"Hey, are you robbing? It costs three copper coins to take a person to Xiyang City?"The servant was dissatisfied upon hearing this. His monthly salary was only 60 copper coins, which he only earned after working with his master for so many years.
"No, guests, you have misunderstood. It is a steel coin. One copper coin can be exchanged for ten steel coins. It is a new currency invented by the Lord of the City."
When the coachman mentioned the Lord of the City, his nostrils were raised. The common people in Xiyang City like steel coins the most, because they can buy many things and are very convenient to use.
"Is that so? Ryan's eyes widened. This was something he never expected. He quickly took out a copper coin and asked,"Can I exchange it for steel coins?""
"Of course, you come up first."The coachman urged. He had to go back to report, and then let the horses rest for half an hour.
Ryan led the servant into the carriage, handed over a copper coin, and retrieved four steel coins.
"Is this a steel coin?"Ryan held a steel coin and observed it carefully.
The number 1 on it was a symbol he had never seen before, but he recognized the word 'corner'. This was the front of the steel coin, and behind it was a beautiful picture of wheat ears.
"hiss……"
Ryan took a deep breath. This coin-minting technology is already more powerful than the kingdom's coin-minting technology.
He is now more and more curious about the situation in Xiyang City, especially the city lord who can invent this steel coin.
"Coachman, aren't you afraid that your master will find out if you take passengers halfway and collect money?"The servant sat next to the coachman and asked in a low voice.
"Why be afraid? This is the business of carrying passengers."The coachman shook his head in a funny way. He had driven many people who asked such questions in the past few days. It
's really rare and strange. Now all the children in Xiyang City know that there are taxis where you can ride. As long as you spend two steel coins, you can ride in a taxi. Anywhere in Xiyang City
