Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

Darlene said seriously, the 50-meter ship is too expensive to build, and the technology is not very mature, eight out of ten ships will sink, or they will fall apart halfway and sink.

This is also the reason why Darlene's fleet does not have a 50-meter boat. A boat costs hundreds of gold coins. Except for some kingdoms who buy one or two boats, no one will buy it. The price/performance ratio is too low.

"I don't want those big ships that may sink at any time." Liu Feng rolled his eyes.

The technology of large ships in this era is not yet mature enough, mainly because the structure of the hull is unreasonable, otherwise the large ship of 50 meters would not fall apart and sink.

"This..." The corners of Darlene's eyes twitched. She really wanted to say, if she is not satisfied with the big ship built by the shipyard, can she build a big ship herself? This is really a bit ignorant.

"Can you give me some shipbuilders?" Liu Feng asked, he didn't want to explain too much, everything will be known when the ship is built.

And at the beginning, he didn't want to build a 100-meter boat. He first built some medium-sized 50-meter boats to accumulate some experience, and then built bigger ones. The ultimate goal was a 100-meter boat.

As for the steel ship, this technology is too limited, and the development of the territory will be hundreds of times larger before the plan can be started.

"No problem, how many people does Your Excellency Liu Feng want?" Darlene looked at Liu Feng for a while with blue eyes, then nodded, "The shipbuilders on my ship are all from some small coastal shipyards, and now they are mainly employed in our fleet. work on maintaining ships."

"Hmm!" Liu Feng knew what Darlene meant. If not, their fleet also needed boatmen.

"I want twenty people." Liu Feng said.

"What? It's impossible." Darlene immediately refused. Her fleet only had about 20 boatmen.

"Where are the fifteen?" Liu Feng frowned. There are too few people and the progress is slow. He hopes to see the launch of the ship next year.

"How much is the salary?" Darlene didn't say the number of people, if the salary is too low, the boatmen might not agree.

"Five hundred copper coins per person, good skills, one silver coin per month." Liu Feng said lightly, he has always been generous to technicians, and he is willing to pay heavy salaries.

Digging? Isn't that what it is? Others want to dig his corners, but they can't dig them at all, only the corners he can dig.

"This...Your Excellency Liu Feng, are you kidding?" Darlene opened her mouth slightly. What kind of business is this?

A shipbuilder actually gave five hundred copper coins and one silver coin for good skills, which was many times higher than the shipbuilders in those large shipyards.

She had a complex look on her face, which was completely different from her business model that cared about a little bit of profit. This was the first time she had seen Liu Feng's prodigal way.

"Of course not." Liu Feng affirmed that this shipyard will definitely be built. Taking advantage of the winter, there are extra people idle, and felling wood can just use them.

"Then fifteen boatmen, I'll let them come to His Excellency Liu Feng." Darlene said softly, I'm afraid those boatmen will go crazy for the fifteen places.

Those boatmen will definitely ask for such a high-paying job, and there is no way to stop it. She can only go to the coast next time to recruit some boatmen.

"Very good." Liu Feng smiled lightly. The boatman had it, plus the drawings he gave, some carpentry knowledge, and the tools he provided.

The launch date of the first big ship is completely predictable. With the big ship, the city by the Youshui River will be the largest business city in Xiyang City.

As for the farther seas and other countries, we have to wait for a bigger ship to be launched, otherwise it would be too time-consuming to go back and forth.

Once he gets through the markets of all the cities along the Youshui River, this Youshui River can be called the Water Gold Road.

In the early stage, Darlene's fleet is okay, but in the mid-term, the sales are very limited, and the market in the capital will be saturated in a short time.

Liu Feng had to plan further things. Before the market in Wangdu started, he had already set his sights on all the cities along the Youshui River. Although the sales of three, four, five were not as large as Wangdu's, they couldn't hold up. a lot.

As long as the Youshui River passes through Beifeng City, the surface of the river is very wide, and it is completely no problem to travel a hundred meters with a large boat. It has many branches and passes through many kingdoms or duchies. These are the biggest markets.

Chapter 0300 sub-Bian kingdom of reform.

Darlene leaned back against the back of the chair, stretched her curvy figure, and looked at Liu Feng who was thinking.

She didn't know why her father wanted to cooperate with this good-looking nobleman in front of her, but if the other party was such a prodigal, she was not very optimistic about the cooperation relationship.

"Bang bang bang!"

A knock on the door interrupted Liu Feng's train of thought, and he turned his head and shouted to the outside, "Come in!"

"Kagji!"

The study door was pushed open, and Mina stepped in, followed by Solo, Enri, and Avery.

The fox-eared lady pouted. The team she supported lost, and she lost three lollipops in a bet. These are limited edition lollipops in her inventory.

Avery smiled at the corner of her mouth, and by comparing, she knew who the fox-eared lady lost to, and it made people feel clearly after entering the door.

"What? Lost the bet again?" Liu Feng still knew about Hu Erniang's hobby. If it was a competition of wisdom, he might lose less, but in a competition of luck, he would definitely lose more.

"Yeah!" An Li nodded disappointedly. She never expected that the first team was turned over at the last moment, and it was the same in the last boxing match.

"Okay, I'll give you scrambled eggs with tomatoes tonight." Liu Feng said with a little pity, the fox-ear girl's luck is much worse than that of Diss, she is clearly a person who relies on her head for food, and prefers to play this kind of gambling game.

"Yeah! The young master is the best." An Li's brown eyes were bent into crescent moons, her whole body jumped up, her folded fox ears also stood up, and her fox tail curled up.

"Go sit down and get ready to report the data." Liu Feng smiled and waved his hands, the beast ear mother is so easy to be satisfied sometimes, originally there will be tomato scrambled eggs tonight.

"Yeah!" An Li nodded obediently, dragged Avery, who was in a daze, and sat down on the desk with a smile.

What is this operation? Avery stared blankly at Liu Feng, then at An Li, she couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

The corner of Mina's mouth drew a nice curve. She knew that this was Anli acting like a baby, or she wanted Liu Feng to pay a little attention, even if it was just verbal care.

The cat-eared lady was on her toes, sitting on a corner of the desk with her buttocks up. With her slender hands, she took out a note from her bosom and handed it to Liu Feng.

"..." Liu Feng took the note and looked at it, his black eyes flickered, then the corners of his mouth slightly pursed, and he silently put the note into the notepad.

"Father, you are here."

Darlene stood up, looked at Solo with a smile, and said softly, "Because of some delays, I didn't go to say hello to my father."

"Uh...it's okay, it's fine." Solo smiled wryly, he knew that Darlene was a little dissatisfied with him, otherwise his speech would not be so formulaic.

Moreover, he had also heard about the matter from Miss Mina, but he did not expect that Catherine, the daughter of the Duke, would also come and be seriously ill. If something happened, he might pack up and salute immediately, and then flee north with his family.

"I've seen the Lord City Master." Solo gave Liu Feng a noble salute.

"sit down!"

Liu Feng waved his hand and said calmly, "This time I called Mr. Solo to continue talking about our cooperation last time."

"Understood." Solo put away his smiling face, knowing that the most important moment has arrived. Whether his family can expand its business and influence depends on this conversation.

Darlene sat quietly at the side, as an observer, she knew too little from the letters, so she could only listen but not speak for the time being.

"I said last time that the linen business was handed over to Mr. Solo for transportation and sales, and Mr. Solo only wanted 1% of the profit." Liu Feng said softly, his black eyes scanning Darlene whose expression changed.

"..." Darlene stared blankly at Solo. She wondered if this was her father? How could you say such idiotic words?

"Yes, according to the amount of linen that the city lord said last time, there will be a turnover of about 1,000 gold coins a year." Solo's pupils flickered, with a slight smile on his face.
